Martin O'Malley Calls for Reinstatement of Assault Weapons Ban

"Reinstate The Combat Assault Weapons Ban Now"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gov-martin-omalley/reinstate-the-combat-assa_b_10630392.html

Excerpts:

When it comes to reducing gun violence in America, our leaders are playing a deadly game of small ball. And everyday Americans are losing badly.

This year alone, including Orlando, more than 6,200 Americans have lost their lives due to gun violence. It is a staggering toll as we near the half way mark for 2016. An incalculable loss for every family and community struck.

And yet, the United States Congress is fighting to debate and vote on only the most incremental reforms to reduce gun violence.

While enhanced background checks, closing gun show loopholes, and imposing “no fly - no buy” provisions are important, these steps represent a fraction of what we must do as a society to curb gun violence in our communities.

Good to see him back in the political saddle and going to Iowa to campaign for Hillary Clinton.

We have so many good Democrats, I almost (but not quite) feel sorry for Trump and the GOP.

I can't wait to hear what O'Malley has in mind for Trump on this round.
