Martin O'Malley ?@MartinOMalley 37m37 minutes agoHow extreme is the @NRA if supporting background checks and handgun licenses makes me a menace? This is why we fight.

@NicholsUprising If the #NRA doesn't like @MartinOMalley, it sounds like a good reason to give him some support.

Hell, I pretty much entirely disagree with him on gun control, and this still makes me more for him, because he intelligently and reasonably lays out a logical position that, even if I disagree with it, is a better starting point than we have now.

(85,998 posts)8. it's perfectly descriptive
...given the way the NRA is portraying O'Malley as a threat; their membership encourages this type of inflammatory rhetoric. They own it.
