Maryland State Police told the 11 News I-Team that there are more than 46,719 assault weapons legally registered in Maryland, a statistic the I-Team asked for in light of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

The 46,719 assault weapons represent about 6 percent of the more than 771,000 registered firearms in Maryland.

Many are arguing that the assault weapons are so lethal and capable of killing and harming so many at one time that there is no good reason for them to be legally available at all, while others disagree.
