It is like gun control folks getting together and taking a stand no matter what the gun lobby wants.
No fear.

"When you mention that - gun control as a net losing election issue for Democrats - someone is likely to retort, “But didn’t Al Gore lose his home state because of guns, and doesn’t that prove Democrats shouldn’t touch this issue?”

This is a myth that’s been circulating for years, encouraged by gun advocates and spread by timorous Democrats. But it’s not true.

Al Gore didn’t lose Tennessee because of the gun issue, he lost Tennessee because he was a Democrat. The state had been trending Republican for years, and continued to do so afterward (Mitt Romney beat Barack Obama there by 20 points in 2012). There is precisely zero evidence that the gun issue hurt Gore in Tennessee, and what evidence there is suggests that his position on guns helped him win other states with large urban and suburban populations like Pennsylvania and Michigan (I discussed that election, and the concomitant myth that the NRA won Congress for Republicans in 1994, at greater length in this article)."

gun violence. She's no different on that issue than any other clear thinking American would be.

You can't have it both ways

Time is linear and events happen in a linear progression. Are you exactly the same person you were 10 years ago, 25 years ago, when you were a child? Are people ever allowed live in the present and allow events to inform their decisions in Bernieworld? What you presented is something that occured in an election years ago. Since then, how many school massacres and mass shootings have we had? Are you willing to suspend any concerns you may have about the victimization of people by gun violence to score a cynical political point based on a cheap card trick? Now you see it now you don't. Do you see those deaths?

But tomorrow can be the best day of your life. We can't change the past gun violence but we can sure make a better tomorrow.

and I am glad she is willing to do so. What the gun industry has done to this nation is reprehensible.

She is running a smart campaign.

And she's right to take on the NRA and the gun lobby directly and emphatically.

Another way she's earned my support.
