“Patrick Shomo, president of Maryland Shall Issue, a gun rights group, said he’s seen a movement in the gun rights community to register new voters in anticipation of the 2014 statewide election, and in some cases to switch membership from Republican to Democratic.”
Did Shomo get this backwards? Did he really mean to say “from Democrat to Republican”? Just wondering.....
The idea is to vote as a Dem in the primary to hurt the reelection chances of the gun grabbing nutcases, picking their Dem opponents. The general population is overwhelmingly Dem, Pubs have virtually no representation. The only way to hurt them is to primary them out, and in MD, the primaries are closed, so you have to register as a Dem.
