85% in Maryland Back Stronger Gun Controll

Looks like martin is doing the job the voters and people in Maryland want him to do.

Washington Post poll finds support for stricter gun control laws in Maryland - The Washington Post

Maryland residents overwhelmingly support Gov. Martin O’Malley’s plan to force gun buyers to submit to fingerprinting, safety training and more background checks, according to a new Washington Post poll.

Across the state, fully 85 percent back the governor’s licensing plan and 73 percent do so “strongly.” They also support banning high-capacity ammunition clips and assault weapons — two other portions of O’Malley’s (D) bill, which in the wake of the December school shooting in Newtown, Conn., would give Maryland among the nation’s strictest gun-control laws.

It was proven in another thread that the poll in the Wash Post is bogus. They only polled like 1500 people in a certain area, but blueboy likes his propaganda. Got to hand it to the liberals, they know how to use the media and the lies to further their agenda.

1500 is an appropriate sample size for the population of Maryland. The problem was they called homes during the day in only Montgomery and PG county where there is a higher population of non-gun owners and people who are on government assistance.

I'll bet that back in the day 85% of the people of Maryland were in favor of slavery too. Didn't mean they were right.


Oppression is oppression even if most people are in favor of it.

You all really don't think a state that elected Martin O'Malley, an almost 100% Democrat legislature, voted overwhelmingly for redistricting to facilitate one-party rule, and gave in-state college tuition rates to illegal immigrants - you don't think they would be all about gun control?

I absolutely believe that a large percentage of Marylanders are in favor of gun bans. But, like Tox said, it doesn't meant they're right.

Feel like this is just another step of MOM's war against Md. rural counties.
