O'Malley's challenge to Sanders and HRC:

Tonight, I called on Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton to back meaningful gun safety reforms. It doesn't matter who you support in this race—meaningful gun reform is something we should all fight for. Read my full remarks here: http://omly.us/1jID6LR

And surprisingly, Rachel Maddow did a story on it last night:

He really isn't in a position to challenge anyone on anything.

I'm waiting for the debates. Hopefully he'll be strong.

I also disagree with anyone that says he's not in a position to challenge or that he's a non factor. I think we need to wait until after the debates...
