Sanders: I don't consider myself a Democrat

[CherokeeFiddle]

92. No quite the opposite

You didn't mention the NRA but you mentioned guns. You can't especially have the convo about guns without bringing up the NRA.

Again, Bernie has a D- rating from the NRA and there are current serving Dems who rank higher than he does. Where is your outrage over that? Is it just "Bernie!" which I suspect? It seems so.

And you know exactly why Bernie voted the way he did yet you are only seeing the surface of the iceberg and doing so because it firs your narrative.

Bernie was for most of the provisions of the Brady Bill, but he felt that it held a potential for abuse that would punish the wrong people. Bernie is pro instant background checks on all gun sales (closing the gun show loophole) and for a ban on assault weapons.

"For example, do I think that a gun shop in the state of Vermont that sells legally a gun to somebody, and that somebody goes out and does something crazy, that that gun shop owner should be held responsible? I don't."
-from: The CNN Democratic debate transcript, annotated

He was for a bill that distinguished between manufacturers and sellers who KNOWINGLY or NEGLIGENTLY sold weapons to criminals, but not those who accidentally sold weapons that were used in crimes.

Bernie voted o ban assault firearms with H.R.4296 - Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act
Bernie voted to close the gun show loophole with H.Amdt.216 to H.R.2122
Bernie voted to regulate high capacity munitions with S.Amdt.714 to S.649
Bernie voted to expand background checks with S.Amdt.715 to S.649

These are just a few things.

“Folks who do not like guns [are] fine. But we have millions of people who are gun owners in this country — 99.9 percent of those people obey the law. I want to see real, serious debate and action on guns, but it is not going to take place if we simply have extreme positions on both sides. I think I can bring us to the middle.”--Bernie Sanders

Calling people who disagree with you this speaks volumes-- "That's some Trump like thinking right there, immature, incorrect and rather cultish." Are you wanting 8 years old Trump because that is how you get 8 years of Trump.
