Gun Control: Gun control legislation should ultimately fall on individual states, with the exception of a federal ban on assault weapons and instant background checks to prevent firearms from finding their way into the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.
Manufacturer Liability: Gun manufacturers should not be held liable for the misuse of their products, just as any other industry isnt held accountable for how end-consumers use their products.
Improve Mental Health: Gun control is not the only solution to curbing the epidemic of gun violence. There must be other efforts to assist those with mental health issues in order to prevent suicides by firearms or mass shootings at public places.
Take On The NRA: The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a powerful lobbying group with too much influence over gun legislation. Bernie wants to take on the NRA and limit their political influence so we can pass meaningful gun reforms.
I am sick and tired of candidates who are backed by Russia. -

the Vermont senator denounced the reported efforts by Moscow to interfere with the 2020 election on his behalf.
Unlike Donald Trump, I do not consider Vladimir Putin a good friend. He is an autocratic thug who is attempting to destroy democracy and crush dissent in Russia, Sanders said of the Russian president.
Lets be clear, the Russians want to undermine American democracy by dividing us up and, unlike the current president, I stand firmly against their efforts, and any other foreign power that wants to interfere in our election.
Sanders also suggested some of the online vitriol frequently blamed on his supporters may be coming from Russia. Some of the ugly stuff on the internet attributed to our campaign may well not be coming from real supporters, Sanders said.
I am sick and tired of you causing Trump to be elected to our White House.
Now that is a matter of opinion and factually not accurate.

It all depends on which polls you choose to believe that forms your opinion.
In large part, it is up to the cohesiveness of the Democratic party.
United we will divided we lose.
It is entirely up to us.
So, in the final analysis, we the people hold the answer in how we act whether or not Trump wins.
