Not sure why listing Bernie's dismal record on gun control was hidden in the

Hillary forum no less. Funny that some seem to be so offended by a post in a protected group discussing the failure of Sanders' position on guns.

Hint, voting against the Brady bill, multiple times is NOT a good position to have on guns.

It seems that Sanders' has a problem with those who don't agree with him. Otherwise, why would there be a need to spam an organizations, or individual's facebook page because Hillary gets an endorsement they don't approve of?

In contrast, Hillary's campaign does NOT spam the CWA's facebook page, or other groups or individuals that endorsed Bernie over Hillary.

That is a key difference between the two campaigns, and it speaks volumes

Sanders history of providing corporate welfare for gun manufacturers, and that his flip flop bill is nothing but a campaign advertisement because the Senate will never allow it to be debated.

And it wasn't "welfare." Simple question - do you think Ford should be subject to lawsuit because a driver used a Ford truck to kill someone? Yes or no?

That is corporate welfare big time.

That justification is bullshit. The Republicans who wrote it knew exactly what it was for, and they metaphorically picked their teeth afterwards with bones of dead children.

I should add this is the Hillary Clinton Group. Justifying Sanders Corporate Welfare Bill should be done in the Bernie Sanders Group.

I believe the NRA is organized crime. I believe that they are the lobbying group for an international network of violent criminals - evil people who destroy whole countries for profit, the network responsible for human trafficking and sale of drugs and weapons on a massive scale. The NRA is not just a terrorist organization - it's the lobbying group for huge terrorist organizations.

Sanders has a long record of supporting the NRA. Let's talk about that. Or are you going to simply alert on my post too and try to get it hidden?

DU used to be a message board where people talked.

My ignore list is fast approaching 700. Every day I add a dozen more (or so). It makes GDP much quieter. Occasionally I'll venture to the home page of this web site (where ignore lists don't work) and I'll still see outrageous posts and insults, but overall having a super-sized ignore list has been quite a blessing.

Obviously, I'm unable to respond and offer retorts to things that I can see ... but WHO CARES?! It's not like anything I say is going to make a difference to them anyway. It's a big waste of time to argue with them. They've made up their minds, they'll do as they please.

Besides, it won't be too much longer before Hillary has this thing locked up (both mathematically and for all "intensive purposes&quot and things will return to normal ... everyone can shake hands and be friends again, and we'll all start to work toward the common good of defeating Trump.
