Also he says that he&#8217;ll make you lock up your gun so your children can&#8217;t get to it (neither will you be able to get to it when a criminal breaks in your home).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;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 &#8212; homicides, suicides, and accidents &#8212; within 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>OK, I have a question, a couple of questions, actually. All the way back to Jared Loughner&#8217;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? <\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s time to confiscate previously legal guns.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Malley says that he&#8217;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 &#8211; have unannounced visits and inspections by law enforcement to insure that you&#8217;re complying with the law, you know, in violation of your civil rights.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;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&#8217;t stop him from committing crimes, does it? So treating lawful gun owners like criminals will work?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former governor of Maryland and mayor of Baltimore Martin O&#8217;Malley, who is currently running for the &hellip; <a title=\"Marty O&#8217;Malley promises what he can&#8217;t deliver\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61846\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Marty O&#8217;Malley promises what he can&#8217;t deliver<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60086,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/60086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
