Someone thought it would be a great idea to talk about one issue. Guns. Hoping to discredit him. As a supporter of any candidate, that last thing I want to do is play into that attempt at a smear campaign. So when I see someone doing it, I have to assume they are jumping on that bandwagon, especially when they repeat and repeat it over and over again.
It is YOUR 'bad' since it is your choice, not mine, to continue to talk about ONE issue out of HUNDREDS even after it has been explained that Bernie's rating with the NRA is ZERO. Because they KNOW his position is NOT even close to theirs, and that it is the position of MOST Democrats who live in rural, farming areas of the country.
Every farmer where I live owns a gun, they need those guns to protect their livestock.
Even in mostly gun free European countries, FARMERS own guns, for the same reason and have for centuries.
So to continue to bring this up to create the impression that his position on guns is a Right Wing position to take, when it is clearly not, WILL continue to create the impression that you are attempting to use it against him.
That's just the way it is. You're free to do so of course and we are then free to determine WHY you are doing it and that is what will happen.
