Okay, what gives?
Seems to me that the NRA and gun-rights organizations must have looked at polling that would not have the gun control law. The reason give is pretty lame: "The 2nd amendment rights are not subject to a referendum."
If polling showed that it had a chance of being rejected by voters, the NRA and gun rights groups would have supported it.
Newspaper polling said 71% of Marylanders supported restrictions on assault-type weapons and magazines over 10 rounds.
I personally would like to have see the referendum go forward because that allows the public to be involved in making the decision, resulting in better understanding of the issues and a winner and a loser. As it is now, a bunch of politicians made the decision FOR Marylanders....not a good idea.
Does anyone know the inside scoop?
