2. I feel the same way.

O'Malley is the only candidate who has a strong, comprehensive, and detailed approach on this issue. And his record in Maryland proves he is willing to confront the NRA and the "gun culture" in order to make gun control happen.

The other "progressive" candidate does not want to alienate the "hunting" culture in his own state.

The fact is that relatively few gun owners are "hunters," unless you mean actual or potential hunters of human beings.

The unregulated proliferation of guns is, like slavery and racism, a thoroughly noxious and deeply embedded part of the "American way of life."

Reason and common sense, in this as in many other issues, seems hard to come by these days.

O'Malley gets it. But the psycho ward of American politics and guns isn't ready for him.

We are not even close to being a civilized nation.
