Marylanders strongly support gun control proposals, poll finds

[BradMacc82]

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

When dealing with anything involving the Sun, it's always handy and waiting.


(Same could be said for certain MD politico's too.)

Do any of you guys think that the antis 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.

Expect it ... I guaran'fn'tee it. Be prepared will REAL data and discredit them at every turn, as follows:

Opinionworks is a progressive/liberal mouthpiece for the left in the PRofMD. Just look at their list of recent clients, a few of the 'select' ones listed below:

• Colgate University (a liberal/progressive institution of higher learning)
• New York City Office of the Mayor
• Open Society Institute - Baltimore (a George Soros funded initiative)
• Population Action International
• The (Baltimore) Sun

In fairness, they do have an extensive list of non-progressive clients, but like all polling agencies, they will do their clients bidding to stay in business.

I wonder how the results would have been different if these same people were asked if they think MD should remove their rights.

 

[foxtrapper]

They could have called 800 hunters and gotten the same results. I almost went into debate mode yesterday with one. He is sorta ok with AR's ect, but "why do you need more than a 10 round magazine?" and " they are for hunting people". I said " 2A isn't about hunting" and he shut up. I hope he thinks about that. MDBGOS...

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

seems they deleted your comment.. LOL imagine that!

 

[Echo]

8 out of 8 comments on the article oppose any bans... so... 100% of Marylanders seem to oppose any ban.

My holster allows me great gun control for ccw. Damn wrong control

 

[Seagrave1963]

Thinking the poll only called lemmings living in Chevy Chase

Nah, it's still there. You have to 'expand' the comments section.

10 out of 12 comments there now are against the poll and any ban that the PRofMD attempts to put in place.

 

[Tankfixr]

A whole 800 registered voters polled!!!

Wow, it must be the will of the people!

Give me a break.

wasnt there first time i looked..

 

[drblast33]

I dont get it. I see so much poll info, but not once in my life was I asked to provide answers to a poll like these. I heard that statistics show that 87% of all statistics are made up anyhow...

The Sun papers great for the bottom of my rat cage.

That's funny because I thought Baltimore City was a rat cage

 

[sykesville]

Thing is, polls such as this don't publish the exact questions that were asked. You can skew a poll depending on how you ask a question, no matter the prevailing opinion. I'm sure this one was slanted towards the anti's.

 

[Ellegon]

800 people isn't even enough to be a representative sample of Towson!!!!

 

[Half-cocked]

If you sequenced and phrased the questions right, you could find "strong support" for slavery.

 

[Mooseman]

I am a Marylander and I believe in gun control. That is why I am at the range, practicing, at least once a week.
