Jamie Raskin, a Maryland state senator, is totally serious about listening to debate about Gov. Martin O’Malley’s anti-gun push. In an image being circulated on Twitter, a man identified as Raskin demonstrates his absolute laser-like focus during a hearing on proposed gun control legislation.

@GovernorOMalley's package of gun safety laws, includes licensing firearms in our state and banning assault weapons. This is our chance.
