8. HRC was and is wrong on PLCAA.

Thanks for reminding me of one of the reasons Bernie was my preferred candidate.

Bernie, much to my chagrin, supported the AWB and most other gun control laws, but he was right to support PLCAA.

It helps protect the 2nd Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

It was a misstep to hit Bernie hard in the primary on his progun vote (really pro-Liberty vote) because it reminded moderates in the GE that she wants to reduce access to firearms to non-prohibited US residents.
