Vows to Continue Piers Morgan's Gun-Control Campaign on CNN.

What little I've seen of Walsh on TV tells me that he would be an improvement over Morgan. But the above article is an example of sloppy journalism in my opinion.
As far as I know the NRA has never made this part of their plan to better secure schools against violent intruders. I looked at their National School Shield plan here; http://ift.tt/1vXctlk It doesn't say anything like that.
I wonder if he could actually name them?
I don't think my $20 Nokia pre-paid cell phone has a GPS chip in it.
I don't recall any well known media personalities speaking at gun control bill hearings in Olympia other than Gabby Giffords. But I've only been paying attention to WA politics since 2000. I did not come across his name in the testimony records in 1994 during the big push for new crime bills either.
I think the "I'm a gun owner and I love gun control" trope is rather worn out now. They need to think of a better reason for people to trust them. Too much of the article reads like selective quoting and hyperbole; not a good way to start out. :)

Walsh added: “I could name 15 first-world countries that check your mental state before you get a gun.” |

Walsh said he has suggested that gun manufacturers put GPS tracking devices in every gun so stolen weapons could be easily recovered. “Every one of us have a GPS chip in our cell phones. It's not Big Brother,” he said. |

He said that he has “testified in every state capital multiple times” about guns. |
