Gungeoneers often make the bullshit claim that the phrase "gun nut" refers to all supporters of any firearm rights. In reality, when we talk about gun nuts we are talking about the people who want guns almost everywhere, e.g. concealed carry in churches.

With one exception: you. Sanders supports waiting periods, allowing municipalities to ban concealed carry, etc. If you are calling Sanders a "gun nut" then you must think that anyone who does not support a complete firearms ban is a gun nut.

They now have you as the perfect example to prove their point.

Hilary has run into a buzz saw. His message is not only electrifying, but also comprehensive in scope. He has outlined the massive problems that have resulted from capitalistic greed that is actually destroying the nation. The situation is dire and must be reversed if our youth have any hope of a future. I can only hope that Americans come their senses and realize that when the abandoned the unions and bought the bullshit corporate propaganda and crap spewed by their bought and paid for politicians they sealed their own fate.
