CEDAR RAPIDS — Standing in front of one of the largest gun shows in Eastern Iowa Saturday morning, presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley called for gun safety legislation, saying such venues are the easiest places terrorists and criminals can obtain firearms.
The former Maryland Governor picked the three-day Hawkeye Downs gun show as his backdrop for a news conference to demand gun control, standing in freezing temperatures and praising President Barack Obama’s executive orders, but refused an invitation from event organizers to tour the facility. (emphasis added)
O'Malley's talking points are:
“You are standing at the easiest place in America for a psychopath, a murderer, or a terrorist to purchase a combat assault weapon, and that is a gun show in the United States of America,” he said, adding that ISIS tells its recruits gun shows are prime opportunities to score guns easily.
As gun show attendees drove behind him to enter the event, O’Malley promised that as president he’d build upon Obama’s recent gun control actions with a ban on combat assault weapons. Among other things, Obama’s orders require businesses that sell firearms obtain licenses to do so and conduct background checks on all potential buyers.
Okay. So we have a Presidential candidate who is against guns, gun shows, firearms ownership and the Second Amendment in general.
Sounds like a "Shoo-in" to me; he's got MY vote!
(NOT!)
Well ... at least he's not a Hypocrite.

Well, he is a typical democrat politician. Many of the party's base believe as he does. You may have noticed that his ilk keep getting elected by large margins across the country.
O'Malley is proud of his anti-gun efforts as Baltimore mayor and Maryland governor.
