You can have the meat shipped to you. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #22

OMG! leftofcool Nov 2015 #5

I am a little less worried bec Nov 2015 #6

And you know they are all unloaded how? leftofcool Nov 2015 #7

Well how many mass shootings bec Nov 2015 #8

No different than all aircraft now Duckhunter935 Nov 2015 #28

K & R for exposure. nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #9

People have always been able to take their unloaded guns AllyCat Nov 2015 #11

No, they haven't. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #13

You are correct but another Hillary supporter centainly made it sound as if Bernie Sanders wanted to INdemo Nov 2015 #46

You could, then you couldn't. Right now, you still can't. nt msanthrope Nov 2015 #17

Just traveled by train in August. Yes, you can AllyCat Nov 2015 #25

Checked...in a train available for such, rifles? msanthrope Nov 2015 #52

We go to DC once or twice a year on Amtrak AllyCat Nov 2015 #55

Are anti-Bernie folks really outraged or are you being sarcastic? aikoaiko Nov 2015 #14

The former, it's the poutrage du jour. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #16

"No incidents of note have happened." SunSeeker Nov 2015 #33

Yeah I'm sure they went to their checked luggage to retrieve their weapons aikoaiko Nov 2015 #42

You have access to your luggage on trains, unlike planes. nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #44

Also, unlike planes, they don't xray checked luggage or screen carry on bags (except randomly). aikoaiko Nov 2015 #50

Wrong. Checked baggage, where guns go, AllyCat Nov 2015 #56

A lot of trains don't have separate baggage cars. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #57

Well there arent a hell of a lot of Hillary supporters that read Bernie Sanders supporters INdemo Nov 2015 #48

"What if ...somebody saw a gun case in the baggage and just took it" beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #15

Um....are you actually comparing the security available msanthrope Nov 2015 #19

Oh spare me. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #20

There is nothing honest about Bernie's excuse for his guns on trains vote. nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #24

LOL! Coming from you that's even more hillaryous. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #26

People on trains have access to their luggage and aren't screened like at airports. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #27

"Hunters don't use trains." Link please. Tia! beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #29

The OP. nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #31

That's a quote from one of the morons interviewed. Cite facts to back up your claim, tia! beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #32

I did. Calling them "morons" does not dispute their assertion. nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #34

Where are the facts you cited? Please post them again. Thanks! beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #36

Hunters saying they don't use trains. See the OP article link. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #39

That's not how it works, you made the claim so you need to back it up with facts. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #40

It's also, and likely primarily, okasha Nov 2015 #64

Moron hunters from Vermont? leftofcool Nov 2015 #58

Sure, anyone who makes that claim would have to be. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #66

Oh you, silly! Don't you ever see deer carcases lashed to the front hood and roof of the train? NurseJackie Nov 2015 #45

How do you think hunters transport their meat when they fly? beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #47

Sure, why not? NurseJackie Nov 2015 #49

On a train, it's easy to turn an unloaded gun into a loaded gun. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #23

This is another excuse by Sanders to cover for him being in the control Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #21

Sheesh . . . you'd think they'd give him a better rating then. D-? Vinca Nov 2015 #35

All members of congress should have a F rating, he has been paying the NRA back for their $18,000 Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #51

If that's "payback," I'd love to see what the other Democrats are doing. I found some A's & B's. Vinca Nov 2015 #54

Why didn't they ask the NRA? BootinUp Nov 2015 #30

Neato! 99Forever Nov 2015 #37

So he's for gun control (except that he isn't), ucrdem Nov 2015 #38

Bernie never said he marched with MLK, he went to Washington to hear him speak. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #41

If that is true, then why have we been hearing this daily? leftofcool Nov 2015 #59

Hearing what daily? The only one who said that is your associate, ask them. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #65

Your OP is written in a way that would suggest Bernie Sanders wanted to INdemo Nov 2015 #43

LOL - yes, well Bernie comes up with lots of stuff.... MaggieD Nov 2015 #53

Why should trains have stricter gun rules than planes? NT Eric J in MN Nov 2015 #60

Because people on trains have access to checked bags MaggieD Nov 2015 #62

How cozy is Bernie with the NRA? Alfresco Nov 2015 #61

In 2012, the NRA gave Sanders a rating of 8 percent. Eric J in MN Nov 2015 #63

Just like on planes. Autumn Nov 2015 #67
