Jamie Raskin, a Maryland state senator, is totally serious about listening to debate about Gov. Martin O’Malley’s anti-gun push. In an image being circulated on Twitter, a man identified as Raskin demonstrates his absolute laser-like focus during a hearing on proposed gun control legislation.

Evidently focusing on testimony is above his pay grade.

Raskin is one of the ghouls shamelessly using the Newtown tragedy to further an anti-freedom agenda. “I think there’s a concern that the spirit of Newtown — that resolve — is already beginning to slip away,” he said. No word on whether he was playing Minesweeper at the time.

Tweets from an unverified account that appears to belong to the state senator:

@governoromalley‘s package of gun safety laws, includes licensing firearms in our state and banning assault weapons. This is our chance.

Everybody come march tomorrow for common sense gun safety laws and a ban on assault weapons! guncontrolmarch.com

After massacres at VA Tech, the Amish schoolhouse, Cong. Gifford’s meeting in AZ, the Sikh Temple in WI, and Newtwon, it is time to act!

Or, you know, time to play chess.

NRA forces say “law-abiding” citizens should have unlimited access to guns but Adam Lanza was “law-abiding”—until he assassinated 26 people.
