Hate?
I don't think it's hate. Gun control is politically popular with enough Marylanders that it makes it worthwhile to support. In some places, like MoCo, gun control is wildly popular. The residents there do have a strong dislike of guns for the most part.
Then you have some "true believers", guys like Brian Frosh who think they are doing the right thing. In his mind, he is saving lives.
Guns have over the last 10 years become a totem of the political right. Much like abortion to the left. It's just politics, nothing personal.
