As far as you and I know it was never stated they have to be working. It must have meant the requirement as they gave him the money and took his weapon.

Who and why? Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #13

community double standards nt arely staircase Jul 2015 #61

It's a matter of perspective, folks... OnlyBernieBurnsBush Jul 2015 #99

that is his problem arely staircase Jul 2015 #107

And just how do you know what he thinks about guns and the bigger picture? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #120

Gun control is a bad hill to die on in Vermont OnlyBernieBurnsBush Jul 2015 #164

and how is that? Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #8

Another standard rightwing talking point. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #21

what is that Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #33

I'll say it. NRA talking point. n/t MoonRiver Jul 2015 #47

I have yet to have anyone produce this list Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #51

A bunch of researchers at Harvard University have the list--ask them!! MADem Jul 2015 #137

So why not people control then??? You never seem to agree to the obvious. Sancho Jul 2015 #151

I agree with common Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #152

ffs nt Mojorabbit Jul 2015 #45

The fact that it's correct and true doesn't matter to you? krispos42 Jul 2015 #119

ruh roh Peacetrain Jul 2015 #2

there it is arely staircase Jul 2015 #3

Bernie is correct Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #5

You mean Bernie will stick his wet finger in the air and test out the temp first? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #122

I expect him at his word that he would consult Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #125

he was right virtualobserver Jul 2015 #6

Bullshit. Australia didn't seize all guns. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #28

how many mass killings were done prior to that? Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #34

Link. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #55

they didn't, and gun violence didn't go away either virtualobserver Jul 2015 #37

I'd take a 50% drop in gun violence and 80% drop in gun suicides, wouldn't you? SunSeeker Jul 2015 #49

We have seen a 50% drop in gun violence Travis_0004 Jul 2015 #59

BUT deaths from guns in the US have held steady because we are awash in guns. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #68

What gun laws would help suicides? Travis_0004 Jul 2015 #74

Buy backs, that is what Australia did. nt SunSeeker Jul 2015 #76

Mandatory?? Travis_0004 Jul 2015 #79

You sound so proud of yourself for scamming a gun buy back. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #83

I didn't scam anybody Travis_0004 Jul 2015 #87

Sounds like he followed the rules Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #88

Never? Bullshit. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #114

so is that the buyback event he used? Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #118

I don't know what buy back he used. Neither do you. nt SunSeeker Jul 2015 #129

Nope but I am not the one that Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #131

The point of any buy back is to reduce the danger of guns in people's hands. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #134

Well I did not lie as it was not intentional Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #135

He boasted about getting money for a non-operational weapon. And you defended him. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #138

Yep, that he played by the rules Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #149

Enough with the gun porn. And no, he certainly did not follow the spirit of a gun buy back. nt SunSeeker Jul 2015 #159

Well the police thought he did Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #160

What police? He has not offered any proof of the rules of his buyback story. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #162

Who is paying for the buyback? TeddyR Jul 2015 #81

Optional buy backs have been successful here in L.A. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #84

Do you have a source for that? I'm not surprised that LAPD is in favor of petronius Jul 2015 #112

Of course I do. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #116

Thanks. That's phrased very carefully, isn't it, as is the original LAPD source: petronius Jul 2015 #121

It would never fly in this country virtualobserver Jul 2015 #69

What? Defeatist talk and appeals to be "practical" coming from a Bernie supporter? SunSeeker Jul 2015 #73

I am a realist virtualobserver Jul 2015 #78

I'm a realist too. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #80

they won't be worrying about the labels virtualobserver Jul 2015 #86

Yeah don't worry. The Socialist tag will be a big plus. redstateblues Jul 2015 #93

That is almost what he calls himself- a Democratic Socialist virtualobserver Jul 2015 #96

Could you point me in the direction of a candidate that wants to seize all firearms? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #123

I don't know of one.. but it would be the only totally effective gun control virtualobserver Jul 2015 #126

Nope don't agree...all or nothing is your only solution? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #139

what I'm saying is....I don't believe that gun control works virtualobserver Jul 2015 #140

No need to go back to 1990. Check out the dog whistles in his quote from today: SunSeeker Jul 2015 #7

so you are for sueing the hammer Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #10

No, hammers are not designed to kill massive amounts of people at once. nt SunSeeker Jul 2015 #12

Also, hammers are made to hammer a nail and to pull one out. boston bean Jul 2015 #17

thats the law Bernie was for Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #22

Oh bullshit. IF ONLY it was as easy to get an abortion as it is to get a gun. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #25

now they have found other ways Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #38

Gun murders in Vermont is 1.1 per 100k Travis_0004 Jul 2015 #62

but gun deaths by 'sensible gun owners' is higher. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #65

Gun deaths are 9.2 per 100k in Vermont. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #109

Gun suicide in Illinois is 44%. joshcryer Jul 2015 #142

95% of gun deaths in Vermont are suicide. joshcryer Jul 2015 #141

Vermont's gun homicide rate is increasing, unlike other states. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #146

Vermont has more than twice the guns as Illinois. joshcryer Jul 2015 #156

Yup. Explains why Vermont's gun death rate is higher than Illinois. SunSeeker Jul 2015 #158

So, perhaps background checks could prevent some from getting possession of guns who is not capable Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #9

It would have and should have Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #11

It isn't opposition that are stopping federal ubc's.. pipoman Jul 2015 #20

Very possible Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #23

states absolutely can, the feds absolutely cannot without an amendment.. pipoman Jul 2015 #27

Interesting theory. Obviously, you are also opposed to Bernie's "overreach" on issues like DanTex Jul 2015 #48

It will have to be passed at the state level...it can never happen at the fed... pipoman Jul 2015 #15

This is the reason sensible gun control has problems passing, need to stop the trigger fingers, Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #18

Federal mandate for a background check on private intrastate sales pipoman Jul 2015 #26

I'm starting to like this guy. NaturalHigh Jul 2015 #14

Except for the fact that homicide rates are down from the 90s in part because of stricter gun contro JaneyVee Jul 2015 #24

actually gun control laws are loosening up Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #43

And now the crime rate is starting to rise. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #54

It is? trendline must have changed Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #57

Which is bullshit because... JaneyVee Jul 2015 #64

Suicide is not a homicide Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #91

It might also have something to do with stricter sentencing guidelines... NaturalHigh Jul 2015 #56

Violent and non-violent crime rates have plummeted because... krispos42 Jul 2015 #124

dog whistles and gun nut phrases. WOW. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #16

Guns don't kill people, people kill people - especially minorities in Chicago and LA! wyldwolf Jul 2015 #35

sorry to say yes Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #44

So you admit he was referring to minorities. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #46

no Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #50

so you don't admit it although your words say otherwise. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #52

and once again you are being less than truthful Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #58

No, I'm being completely truthful wyldwolf Jul 2015 #60

Yep shenmue Jul 2015 #36

I replied earlier to a similar OP sadoldgirl Jul 2015 #29

well, Sander's gun nuttery sure is luring the inmates from the gungeon out to the open. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #66

You noticed that too? Cali_Democrat Jul 2015 #111

This is why I refuse to support Sanders in the Primary. Agnosticsherbet Jul 2015 #67

Yep, that's why he has a D- from the NRA Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #92

I don't give a fig what the NRA thinks. Sanders actions Agnosticsherbet Jul 2015 #108

Well, you go right ahead and do that. NanceGreggs Jul 2015 #90

you don't feel that this discussion was created to make Bernie look bad? virtualobserver Jul 2015 #102

Well, there have been countless "dicussions" here ... NanceGreggs Jul 2015 #115

They are both open for discussion virtualobserver Jul 2015 #117

My statement applied ... NanceGreggs Jul 2015 #127

watch this Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #98

I thought the president's personality cult was severe Doctor_J Jul 2015 #106

Does Bernie have a personality cult? Cali_Democrat Jul 2015 #145
