Bernie & Guns ~

[vive la commune]

7. I'm from a heavily rural state

With lots of hunters and gun owners. I'm generally pro-second-amendment. And I'm also very left-wing. I consider myself in good company with Marx and Orwell on the matter. I do wish our gun culture looked more like Switzerland's instead of a first-person shooter game, though. I'm glad Bernie isn't knee-jerk anti-gun. Or knee-jerk pro-gun, for that matter. He seems to make up his own mind on individual pieces of legislation. And he is also taking his rural constituency into consideration. I think people will respect that. I get really tired of both sides of the gun argument. For me, gun issues aren't a deal-breaker. I want to get the Koch brothers out of the fucking goverment, that's what I care about.
