He was a little soft on this subject, in Vermont the attitude is pretty pro gun.

But he says there is a consensus among gun owners that could make things work -- however this is one thing a Bernie presidency will not prioritize, I think.

And I'm an ex Vermonter who knows and would be a Bernie supporter if he can win, but on guns I'm not thrilled with his history overall.
