WASHINGTON - August 28 - Sarah Brady of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and leaders of CeaseFire Maryland will join with several candidates she is endorsing for the Maryland Senate and General Assembly to begin a push for passage of a bill to get military-style semiautomatic assault rifles off Maryland streets.

The press conference will be in the Crown & Crab Room of the Maryland Inn, 16 Church Circle in downtown Annapolis at 12:15 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 29. Attendees include Brady, Maryland Senate candidates Jim Rosapepe and Mike Lenett. Rosapepe is running against State Senator John Giannetti, who single-handedly blocked passage of an assault rifle ban in the state.
