Martin O'Malley calls for 'combat assault weapons' ban and fingerprinting of gun buyers

In New Hampshire last night, former Maryland governor and Democrat presidential candidate Martin O’Malley revealed gun control measures he would implement as president:

It doesn't matter who you support in this race—meaningful gun reform is something we should all fight for. pic.twitter.com/yrkKrl4gk8

At least O’Malley used “meaningful” instead of “common sense” like so many others.

Don’t bother politicians like O’Malley with logical questions while they’re pandering by proposing laws, many of which already exist.

@MartinOMalley The general public cannot buy "combat assault weapons" and you know it. It is a lie.

@MartinOMalley A "combat assault weapon" is something you literally just made up.And almost all firearms use the same types of safety mechs

Does O’Malley really want people closely examining what’s happened in the largest city in the state he governed?

@MartinOMalley What is a "combat assault weapon?" Baltimore was 40th most dangerous city in world. After your #gunsense it's 21.

@MartinOMalley you got signature gun reform in MD. Let's test your record; Baltimore riots and murder is up about 80% from P/Y.
