A new poll shows Marylanders strongly support two gun control measures that Gov. Martin O'Malley has suggested he might ask the General Assembly to pass in the wake of last month's elementary school massacre in Connecticut.
On another measure the governor supports — repeal of the death penalty — the state's voters are divided.
The poll of 800 registered voters, taken by the Annapolis-based firm OpinionWorks and released to The Baltimore Sun, shows overwhelming majorities favor banning the sale of assault weapons in Maryland and limiting the number of bullets a gun's magazine can hold.
Voters favor the assault weapons ban 62 percent to 35 percent, and they endorse 71 percent to 24 percent limiting gun magazines to 10 bullets, the poll found. The margin of error for the survey, which was conducted by telephone Dec. 28-30 and Jan. 2, is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. More

I question the validity of this poll. Purely more propaganda to push the Obama administration gun confiscation agenda. Of course a poll of Annapolis yuppies who are brainwashed by msm would agree with what they here on tv. If the news says it, it must be true right?
I took a Eastern Shore poll and found out 98% are in faver of ccw.
very small poll from very small area DO IT FULL STATE
The polls were taken in all the State Prisons with Inmates.
I'm glad I moved to FL! No state tax and no liberal BS!
no one asked me. I don't really care what other 'marylnaders' think or say, I will keep my guns thank you very much.
And if I have to kill a few 'marylanders' to do that , I will. I won't shed a tear.
It is long past time to remind our government officials, and that includes the police and maybe even the military, that their role in this country is to SERVE.
We are the masters, not the slaves. They do what we tell them to do. If they don't we get rid of them and get people who will do as we say.
That was the intended purpose when framing this country. Somehow certain individuals have tried to flip that around so they are the master and we the slave.
NO. It's not going to work like that. If any of them do not want to be in government service to us, relinquish your post and return to the people.
WE will elect another to do the job.
