Yes....if they can ban guns they will, until then they will do whatever they can to make it harder for law abiding citizens to own and carry guns...and they will create as many laws as they can making gun owners felons for simple acts of gun ownership.....magazine limits, mandatory gun safes in homes......things that just create the opportunity to catch law abiding citizens, charge them with crimes, and pull their ability to own guns...
While doing absolutely nothing to stop criminals and mass shooters......all that takes is to arrest them when they commit crimes or get caught with guns and lock them up. And you know what, they aren't doing that....makes you wonder why not....
Martin O Malley Ban Sale Of Assault Weapons Launch National Gun Registry
Writing in The Boston Globe, O’Malley boasted of the gun controls he was able to pass while Governor:
In Maryland, we implemented some of the toughest measures in the nation to crack down on gun violence. The reforms we put in place included required licensing, fingerprinting, background checks, and safety training. We ensured that these requirements applied to all buyers, whether they were acquiring a gun from a dealer, a secondary sale, or as a private gift.
We took action to keep guns off the street and make them less deadly. We banned the sale of assault weapons and limited the size of magazines. And, if a firearm was lost or stolen, we required it to be reported immediately to law enforcement.
What a list: license requirements for firearm owners, mandated training, background checks, bans on assault weapons, and a ban on “high capacity” ammunition magazines.
O’Malley then suggested that the goals of Maryland at the time — when gun control was enacted — and the goals of the United States now should be one and the same.
Well, let’s see. How has gun control worked out for Marylanders? According to USA Today, not well. They report there were “43 homicides” in May of this year alone and a total of “116 homicides” in Baltimore through the first five months of the year.
To hedge his bets O’Malley points away from Maryland, pointing instead to the nation as a whole and claims there were 204 mass shootings “during the first 204 days of 2015.” That is a mass shooting a day.
How can Democrats claim a mass shooting a day? They list any shooting incident where at least two people are killed as a mass shooting. Thus, Adam Lanza’s heinous Sandy Hook attack, killing 26, was a mass shooting and Nidal Hasan’s 2009 Fort Hood attack, killing 13, was a mass shooting and John Russell Houser’s alleged July 23 attack on a Lafayette theater, killing two, was a mass shooting as well.
On January 5, 2014, Breitbart News reported that MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence’s Len Everett talked of how “mass shootings” are increasing every day. They also revealed that their new criteria for a mass shooting would be any shooting where two or more people were killed.
Okay...which of his laws has lowered the gun murder rate in Baltimore?

What a list: license requirements for firearm owners, mandated training, background checks, bans on assault weapons, and a ban on “high capacity” ammunition magazines.
Are criminals using "assault weapons in large numbers? No.
Did magazine size limits stop any of the mass shooters? No.
Did background checks stop any of the mass shooters? No.
Did making it a crime if you don't report a lost or stolen firearm to police stop or prevent crime with that gun? No.
Did making it a crime if you don't report a lost or stolen firearm to police do anything but create a new way to charge a law abiding gun owner, a victim of theft, with a crime, and therefore pull their ability to own guns....?
YES.
they also have finger printing of law abiding gun owners...did that do anything to stop gun crime or mass murder? no.
Did requiring mandatory training for gun owners prevent gun murders in Baltimore? No.
Are any of the above measures need in order to arrest someone who uses a gun to commit a crime?
No.
Are any of the above measures needed to arrest a convicted felon if they are caught in possession of a gun, either in their home or carrying it on their person....?
No.
So why do we need them....can any gun grabbers finally explain that to me?
Since no one has to date....
