Marty O’Malley promises what he can’t deliver
Former governor of Maryland and mayor of Baltimore Martin O’Malley, who is currently running for the Democrat nod for President next year, took to the pages of CNN to promise the American people that he can reduce gun violence in the United States by requiring background checks for private sales and fingerprint records of every gun owner in the country. Also he says that he’ll make you lock up your gun so your children can’t get to it (neither will you be able to get to it when a criminal breaks in your home).
It’s time for that to change. If I am elected president, I will make reducing and preventing gun violence one of my 15 goals to rebuild the American dream. And right now, I am putting forward a comprehensive policy plan for cutting deaths from gun violence in half — homicides, suicides, and accidents — within 10 years.
My plan starts with expanding safeguards to all gun purchases, whether from a licensed dealer, online posting, or private sale. Under my plan, a background check would be required for each and every gun purchase. And every person seeking to purchase or transfer a gun would have to obtain a fingerprint-based license, including completing safety training and a waiting period. Without such protections, it will remain far too easy for criminals to legally buy guns.
OK, I have a question, a couple of questions, actually. All the way back to Jared Loughner’s shooting of Congresswoman Gabby Griffords, the perpetrators of the mass shootings in the news have all been through the background checks system. So how will fingerprinting them help?
Also, the only reason to register all guns as a law enforcement measure is to actually visit gun owners and get their alibi for not being at the scene of a gun-related crime. Has that ever happened in the history of gun control? The only other reason to register guns is to know where they are when it’s time to confiscate previously legal guns.
O’Malley says that he’s going to make you lock up your guns in your homes, too. Of course, the only way to regulate that is like they do in Norway – have unannounced visits and inspections by law enforcement to insure that you’re complying with the law, you know, in violation of your civil rights.
O’Malley actually believes that by making law abiding citizens adhere to new regulations will reduce gun violence in this country. He actually thinks that requiring criminals to register their guns will work. You, know, when a criminal is arrested, they take his fingerprints, and it doesn’t stop him from committing crimes, does it? So treating lawful gun owners like criminals will work?

Yo, Jonn – maybe we need to listen to “Little Marty” here.
After all, as Mayor he did such a bang-bang job in permanently fixing the gun violence problem in Baltimore.
Just another stupid ass dumocrat that would ultimately go for confiscation….go to hell bosco!
Yeah, why not pass laws forbidding convicted felons from possessing firearms and ammo? Oh wait, that’s already been done. Here we go again with blubber necked fat-mouthed pols blowing hot air.
I’ve been saying it for years, it should be against the law to not follow the law!
If we had a law requiring everyone to follow the law it would fix all of our problems.
Maybe Little Marty will assess a federal rain tax on the properties of all legal gunowners in America…
As a native Marylander, and a Baltimoron, I’d have hoped folks had gotten wise to this assclown.
Typical demoncrat lawyer, never met a tax he didn’t like, loves gay marraige, and hates “guns”.
Folks, my old DI always told me you don’t call anything a gun but an artillery piece, and I really get sick and tired of hearing every yahoo on the imbeciles lantern blovating about “guns”. There! I feel somewhat better!Thanks, Sgt. Bynum.
Marty boy is a disaster waiting to happen. He’s all blowdried and capped, and no substance, pandering to whatever bunch of idiots who will listen to him and vote for him.
It was easy for a politician of his lace curtain ilk in the peepuls republic of Muryland, ’cause it’s a demoncrat majority state. That’s why it’s doing so well. Were it not for it’s proximity to D.C., and all the gummint jobs that generates, it would be even worse. Of course, there’s always gambling. Uh-huh. It’s for the children!
No thanks! One hopes he gets his comeuppance and goes back to corporate lawyering, I don’t think he’s got the stuff to chase ambulances.
Rant off.
Uncle Bernie
I can’t wait to see New Hampshire, Alaska, and Vermont telling him to go screw if, by some strange mistake, he’s actually elected and manages to get that through Congress.
Throw about 30 more states into that mix, including pretty much every “shall-issue” or no permit state.
Ah, civil rights and the Constitution. Ain’t they a bitch to your little plan, Marty?
Marty’s shit won’t do well in Arizona. He’d get laughed out of the state
I know if he tried that then the Alaska Independence Party would gain traction.
He is on the ropes, ever since he made the horrendous and grievous error in Phoenix of saying, “All lives matter.” He was booed and hissed by the good people who expected him to say that only Black lives matter. Boy, did he take hell for that. He tried to recover by apologizing again and again but it was too late: he committed the liberal mortal sin. So, he is cooked. Now it’s time for him to go with the all-out attack (grabbing guns) to try to salvage his hopes of shitting where oBaMa does. “If elected, I will not change the toilet seat.”
Is he from Chicago? He seems like he’s a clone of the current CPD chief, Dumbasshit.
“Without such protections, it will remain far too easy for criminals to legally buy guns”. Marty, you went full moron, never, ever go full moron.
Criminals don’t “legally” buy their guns, they either steal them, or they buy them from other criminals. I’m sure that various law enforcement officers tried to point that out to you, weren’t you paying attention?
O’Malley bringing his B’more experiment to the national level… that’s something this country doesn’t need right now (or ever).
I remember hearing a comedian once calling B’more “America’s Beirut” because of all of the barbed/razor wire on fences and the abandoned buildings.
He’s a fucking idiot. I’d be surprised if he could walk and chew gum at the same time.
I don’t think he does. But I think that he believes enough other gullible morons will believe those things to be true to vote for him.
IOW, not stupid, but cynical and corrupt. 😉
At less than 3% of the potential voters looking his way O’Malley is desperately trying to remain relevant. This won’t helps his cause in any way, shape, or form….
Another non-candidate hoping things will turn around.
Is it mere happenstance or coincidence that the most crime-ridden hellholes and ghettos in the USA are in areas that have been lorded over by demo-rats for decades? Methinks not!
Hey, I have an idea! Listen up!
Farty Martypoo here can get together with master Bateman and that other sprinkle-chomping dingaling – I forgot his name already – and they can form their very, very own antigunzzz coalation… if they can find one.
Then they can stand on street corners with microphones and spout crap all day long, and the rest of us can go about our bidness.
How’s that sound?
Has anyone ever told any of these self-righteous Twinkie-filling suckers that they are, collectively and individually, assholes?
I could do that but then… I’d have to find one or all of them in a bar to do it.
Maybe we should require all of these safeguards for anybody who wants to be elected as President — including safety training and a waiting period, whatever the hell those are supposed to be. I also favor being able to put a cable lock on them and shutting them into a child-proof vault, but that may be pushing it a little.
He’s looking and sounding more and more like his twin-brother-from-another-father (Marx), Bloomin’idiot.
Hey! Bloomin’idiot, how’s that MAIG (Mayors Against Illegal Guns), EveryTown Matters (or whatever it’s called), and all your other empty straw organizations doing? Hopefully, draining yours, and your master Soros’ pockets dry.
All in favor raise your right hand.
Cripes. Even though I know to say, “I write with my right” it doesn’t always work out.
I read his proposals… every half-baked idea and lie they can drag out. According to it you can buy thousands of background-checkless guns on the Internet.. at gun shows… and criminals will just love to ‘stand in line to get me some background checks’. About the only cliche I did not see was “Saturday Night Special”. He does want to outlaw any private transaction without a check, make everyone who wants to buy a gun get training, a permit, get fingerprinted, and probably sign a pledge to never, ever, pull the trigger without written advance permission.
Austin is losing their monthly gun shows because the city is requiring NICS checks for “private” sales at gun shows. SAXET has pulled out and others are following.
Hopefully Austin will secede from the Republic of Texas soon and quit being an embarrassment for the rest of us Texans.
The most perplexing philosophical question in Texas – how do we get rid of all the Austin weenies and keep 6th Street’s music scene going? More bars. more music… less fru-fru.
If I’m not mistaken, the character Carcetti in “The Wire” was based on Mayor Marty. Anyone that thinks that show was only fiction needs to vote for Hillary.
If I’m not mistaken, the character Cruela de Vil in “101 Dalmatians” was based on Hillary Clinton. Anyone that thinks that movie was only fiction needs to vote for Marty.
I personally think that Das Hildebeast makes Cruella deVil look like either Cinderella or Snow White when compared!
Turd. “If I am elected president, I will make reducing and preventing gun violence one of my 15 goals to rebuild the American dream.” Well that’s YOUR American dream. Why not take a walk through the bad parts of Baltimore and ask what they think the problem with guns is? I think they would say, “Allow we law abiding citizens to own and carry our legally purchased firearms and this city won’t be the shit hole it is.”
