As I mentioned before, I understand the point, and disagree completely.
We know how America feels about this issue. Maryland is a problem because our leaders flat refuse to accept the Constitution, and go out of their way to infringe our rights for a flawed ideological goal.
The poll is a direct result of a specific Court ruling which, as I mentioned in the OP (and detailed in the Kolbe v O'Malley thread), purposefully disregarded facts and evidence to come to the conclusion that these firearms are not "commonly possessed for lawful purposes". This one specific item is what I'm addressing.
No, MDS is not the ideal cross-section of Maryland as a whole, but I find it to be pretty representative of the majority of firearms owners. Non-owners, by definition, are generally not interested in this subject, and are sometimes at odds with our goals. So, this UNSCIENTIFIC poll is a snapshot of a known segment of the state, for their opinions on a state issue, as regards the decision on state law.
I don't think I can be much clearer as to the methodology here. Disagree if you like, but you can always start your own poll.
MSI is Maryland Shall Issue... one the most active 2A advocacy groups in the state.
