I am not sure why CBS saw fit to refer to Governor O'Malley at "other democrats" since he is the only other democrat who called for more gun control. Indeed most of the article is about him.
So I guess this is a pro O'Malley diary and he deserves it. He is a good solid liberal who has walked the walk. I am looking forward to his participation in the debates. I hope the media will start covering him and the other candidates more. I mean good honest coverage, not BS hit pieces like the ones they do on Hillary.
The following was the rare non hit piece...... thank you CBS. I might have to start watching their evening news.
I cut out the part about anything the republicans had to say..... but if you so chose here is the link:

Now if he would just stop attacking Clinton....... sigh
The Roanoke shooting of a reporter and cameraman Wednesday reignited the debate over guns among the 2016 presidential contenders, with Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Martin O'Malley the lone voices calling for more gun control.
"We've got to do something about gun violence in America, and I will take it on," Clinton declared Wednesday at an event in Iowa. The country, Clinton argued, should be able "to balance the legitimate second amendment rights with preventive measures and control measures, so that whatever motivated this murderer who eventually took his own life, we will not see more deaths, needless senseless deaths."
In an email to supporters Thursday, O'Malley listed a slew of recent shootings, including the one in Roanoke Wednesday.
"We politicians tweet our condolences. We say, 'we must act,'" O'Malley wrote. "Here's the frustrating truth: I can't do anything about this issue that I haven't already done in Maryland until I'm elected President. Neither can any presidential candidate. Our gridlocked Congress won't pass significant gun safety legislation this year or next, and we all know it. This is our reality."
If elected, he pledged to push for a national assault weapons ban, stricter background checks, better information sharing with law enforcement and efforts to reduce straw-buying like fingerprint requirements -- all measures he previously worked to pass as governor of Maryland.
