Marylanders strongly support gun control proposals, poll finds

The poll of 800 registered voters, taken by the Annapolis-based firm OpinionWorks and released to The Baltimore Sun, shows overwhelming majorities favor banning the sale of assault weapons in Maryland and limiting the number of bullets a gun's magazine can hold.

Voters favor the assault weapons ban 62 percent to 35 percent, and they endorse 71 percent to 24 percent limiting gun magazines to 10 bullets, the poll found. The margin of error for the survey, which was conducted by telephone Dec. 28-30 and Jan. 2, is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

So... if the state gov plays out like this poll indicates, then we are in for some rough times.

Yay! We support gun control! I didn't even know.

I just read this too. What a pile of poo. 800 people is not a large group.

This is why it is so important to write the state officials.

I've emailed them and now preparing a snail mail letter also. I just wonder how much good it will actually accomplish

My 'comments section' response ... also a dup posting on my part.

You've GOT to be kidding. This poll CAN'T be taken seriously.

"The poll of 800 registered voters, taken by the Annapolis-based firm OpinionWorks and released to The Baltimore Sun, shows overwhelming majorities favor banning the sale of assault weapons in Maryland and limiting the number of bullets a gun's magazine can hold."

I wouldn't call 800 registered voters an accurate sampling, especially if OpinionWorks polls for The (Baltimore) Sun and conducts opinion surveys for public sector agencies including the New York City Mayor’s Office, as noted on their homepage. Can you spell BIAS ? Sure you can. The Baltimore Sun has been in Owe'Malley's camp since he was mayor, and to do a gun control poll for Mayor Bloomberg, chairman of MAIG, would be laughable if it weren't so dishonest.

You can take your poll and stick it where the Sun(papers) don't shine.

Everybody pile on. You can bypass the 'paid' pop-up by using In-private browsing.

Just more BS crappola spewing out of the Baltimore Sun. What a surprise.

800 people surveyed, what did they do call the entire subscriber base of the Baltimore Sun?

It's a BIASED poll, commissioned by the Sun, or Bloomberg. See dup postings,

I'm sure it is. The Sun isn't exactly a bastion of unbiased reporting... not that such a thing really exists in America anymore but you know...

Yeah I saw the dupes. We all posted with in a couple minutes of each other.

By his Bio, he looks like one of those Pave 'Save the Bay' types. And, with a master’s degree from the Columbia University School of Journalism, which also administers the Pulitzer Prizes. He certainly has had his share of liberal brainwashing, probably by Delacorte Professor of Journalism, Victor Navasky ...

Just keep writing our representatives with polite insistence to support the 2A. See my signature for an easy way!

Use it LIBERALLY ... Oh, sorry ... Use it as often as you wish.

Do any of you guys think that the antis in Annapolis will care about how the statistic was gathered? No, only that it was gathered. Expect them to beat us over the head with these numbers.
