Last week he made a very clear distinction. People carrying guns in Vermont are completely different than gangs. Not sure why this wasn't addressed more. I made an op on it. It is the way they fight for their love of guns.

"He said there's a major difference between Vermont, a rural state with little gun control where hunting is a way of life, and cities like Chicago, where guns are used by gangs."

He used it as a wedge between white and black. A failed thought process that is all too common.

That wont fly in the AA community.

no matter what color they are.
Funny you should bring up race.
Very interesting.

Very telling.

so he does not need to.

Gun control isn't liberal, it is party politics.

Rural Dems usually don't favor gun control, and urban rethugs often do...it isn't a public safety issue in rural areas, it might be in urban areas

apologized for LYING about being under

sniper fire in Bosnia ????

Bernie has nothing to apologize for.

Chapter and verse all over DU day in and day out.

Not sure for what he would apologize.

They weren't mistakes and he won't be apologizing.

Has Hillary ever apologized for lying about being under sniper fire in Bosnia?

Does that make it any less true?

They weren't a mistake.

You might ask his opponent why her pro gun poses in 2008 were a mistake.

I think Sanders moderate position on gun-control is quite sensible, and more likely to effect measurable change than the extremist position some have staked out.

Or are you unware of what he actually voted for?

Because some criminal shot that individual with the gun maker's legally produced product.

Some gun control groups decided to try a campaign of SLAPP lawsuits, since cowardice among Democrats meant they were getting nowhere. They knew the individual lawsuits would fail - Colt isn't liable for a murder using their guns, just like Ford isn't liable for a drunk driver using their cars.

The bill blocked those lawsuits, so they'd be tossed at the beginning of the lawsuit instead of after victims had spent $BIGNUM on attorneys losing the lawsuit.

But it also meant the SLAPP campaign was not possible.

I think I misinterpreted your post - I agree with Sanders on this.

manufacturers and dealers that put the guns in the hand of the people who shot them.

Seriously, how hard is it to just say Bernie is great but he's wrong about guns? It's getting absurd...

Idiots who think one should be able to sue the maker of any legal device or gadget for the criminal misuse of the item are just too thick to understad the absolute simplicity of what is being discussed...they are wrong every time they speak of this....

But, of course, I expect that from you. The dissonant thing is hearing it from Bernie Sanders and his "progressive" supporters, who claim to be concerned about corporations having too much power in DC.

I couldn't care less, but I am curious if you actually care to find out for yourself.

At least we know where he stands.

Jesse Ventura did that too. While I didn't agree with many of them, he did tell us what his beliefs were and not just what people wanted to hear.
