As President, I will pass a national assault weapons ban, implement stricter background checks, and increase efforts to reduce straw-buying, like fingerprint requirements. 

He will not pass national "assault weapons ban". He will not be fingerprinting gun buyers. If by "stricter background checks" he means a national intrastate private sale requirement, he will not pass that either. His becoming president doesn't amend the Bill of Rights nor affect SCOTUS case law.

I like Martin. He either hasn't been following on this issue, or he knows these things cannot happen but thinks the avid gun controllers are in play....
