Congress needs to act on gun reform. Opinion by Martin O'Malley in The Boston Globe

[elleng]

Stopping the preventable deaths of American citizens should not be a partisan issue, or the purview of special interests. These members of Congress need to find the courage to do the right thing, without fear of the NRA’s clout, come next election.

It’s not enough just to “have the conversation.” It’s time for actual leadership and action.

Posted earlier as part of another thread, but important to see his by-line appearing in national press, imo.

1. I am in complete agreement with him about this issue.

The laissez-faire unregulated gun proliferation culture in this country has to be brought to an end. It has no place in a civilized society.

There is no other democratic candidate who spells it out as clearly as O'Malley and has acted on it as decisively as did O'Malley in Maryland.

The time for "conversation" is over. It is time to act and to elect a president who does not fear the NRA.

Once again: Thank you, Martin O'Malley, for speaking and conducting yourself as a president of the entire United States.
