All are affected by both issues. People just weigh them differently. I imagine those in south Charles County are more concerned about Beretta going away versus higher taxes. If I thought Hogan was going to be another Erlich (ineffective) I would have voted third party. So I am a member of that margin.
Idea - We need a bill to exempt NFA from O'Malley's gun ban

Well, around here in liberal land, the liberals don't care a whit about the 2A issues. They are tired of high taxes and inept leadership in the case of Brown. I'd bet there are more of them than 2A issue voters state wide.
But it's anecdotal. No real numbers.

Here's how you know: who else lost that should have won, based on their FSA2013 votes? If it were 2A issues driving elections, a lot of people would be out on their asses right now. They're not. Even the supposed "big targets", like Brochin, skated on to victory.
Also, Hogan won by 10 points, which is a friggin' landslide as it goes in this state.
What you say may be true, but every year Maryland raises taxes significantly. I don't really know if this election had more taxes at issue than the last election. I remember under Erlich, that auto registration went up and other taxes (although politicians say they are not taxes) climbed. For example, LLC filing paperwork. Some things actually remained relatively flat like college tuition.
The only thing I see as different between this election and previous elections was the FSA. Otherwise, it's all the same. You may find that the state election was more a reflection of the dissatisfaction with Congress.
I went to look for the election results and found this page. At the bottom, you see that every pollster except one projected Brown as the winner. And not close. But with the results below, how could you trust a study evaluating the results if they couldn't even come close at predicting the election results.

In any event, I think we can make a reasonable push for legislation to specifically state that NFA firearms are exempt.
My hope is that Engage wins their lawsuit, MSP complies and advises the BATF that any length SBR is legal because they are not rifles, and therefore the copycat provisions cannot be applied. Then we don't need to deal with anyone else for now.

I seriously doubt many people voted for Hogan solely on his 2nd Amendment stance because his stance on the 2nd Amendment wasn't all that vocal. I would really be shocked to find out that a ton of people voted for Hogan solely on his 2nd Amendment stance. Even if he was on par with Brown regarding the 2nd Amendment and infringing the heck out of it, I would have still voted for Hogan for the myriad of other conservative values that he endorses.
With that said, this entire NFA issue with SBR rifles is complete BS and completely frustrating.

Unlikely for votes in the respective Judicary Committes to pass a favorable Bill. If there were , unlikely for Dem leadership to allow the respective Chairment to have a vote. If it did reach the floor , unlikely to get favorable vote.
On the other hand once the NFA Loophole was pointed out to them , the anti's would like to close it.
On the third hand , the problem was created by MSP pulling an interpetation out of minimal density air. A different interpetation would be reach with equal or greater logic at any time.

Why in the world would you think MD politicians are going to draft laws making firearm ownership easier. Do you live under a rock?
