had a meeting with some local NAACP folks las night, mostly about our new police chief

talk turned to politics and HRC had about 20 strong supporters among the 20 people there.

very enthusiastic. they thought sanders seemed like a nice man. when I told him about his gun votes they were disappointed but they were all for HRC anyway.

Really? You were not there. The OP was there. The OP provided an account of a meeting. I'm glad for such reports, whatever they might reveal.

Sniping at first hand accounts of things seems unwarranted to me.

Please take a moment to look at where O'Malley stands on the issue of guns along with his accomplishments at the executive level in this area. I am saying this with respect. Thanks.

Implemented stricter gun control laws: After pushing it through the state assembly, O’Malley signed a sweeping gun control measure requiring handgun buyers to submit fingerprints and obtain a license, banning 45 types of assault weapons, limiting gun magazines to ten bullets and banning gun ownership by people who have been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility. O’Malley’s package was considered one of the most progressive proposals in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting. The National Rifle Association vowed to fight the legislation, but their petition to halt its implementation ultimately failed.

They have heard of Bernie and think he is a nice man.

We have already infiltrated parts of the NAACP!! Won't be long now they will be campaigning for Bernie. That's how progress goes.

Thanks, arely, for this great news!!
