Baltimore Sun Readers Love the AR15

Great polling results from today's Sun.

I'm surprised they printed it. Although if one would not read the entire question correctly it would appear at a glance that 95% want to ban it.

ZOMG, THAT'S AWESOME

That must have HURT someone at the Sun to print.

I think this means that at least 24,732 people in Maryland have an AR15. Must be a rifle in common use.

That is hilarious

As others have said I honestly can't believe they put that in print . I figured it would be wiped from on line never to be seen again .

Ok... my next call will consist of this:

"A Baltimore Post Poll found that 95% of Marylander's support removing the AR-15 from the list of banned firearms!"

Tell Frosh we will see his 85% and match it with our 95%

We need to have a billboards plastered all over MD.

I'm glad I voted.

 

[Half-cocked]

I want them to poll the public on AK's, now.

Statement should read
"Recent polling says 95% of Marylanders do not want the AR-15 banned"

 

[Ken Stanka]

Tell Frosh we will see his 85% and match it with our 95%

Not only 85 versus 95% but also 85% of a 700 person poll versus 95% of a nearly 25,000 person poll.

Well, Dumais wrote recently that there are at least 60,000 assault weapons in Maryland according to MSP records, and that does not count the ones that were purchased prior to them being classified as "regulated firearms".

If an AR15 is not one of the most popular rifles around, I will be shocked. As shocked as I am that the Baltimore Sun actually printed that. WOW Kudos to the Baltimore Sun though if that was not a mistake on its part.
