Bernie Sanders "Blind Squirrel" moment on Gun Control

[snd1t]

Looks like Sanders has had a "Blind Squirrel" moment on the subject of gun control

Paraphrased....."Gun manufacturers no more responsible that hammer manufacturers"

shhhhhhh! this guy needs ALL of our support.

1) he is making Hillary look like a fool
2) there is no way the dems will anoint him over Hillary
3) then Bernie, who is an INDEPENDENT, will run as an independent throughout the country, siphoning off dem votes
4) wooo hoooo!

Trump and Bernie can run as VEEP/POTUS on the independent ticket with Nader as the Sec of Offense...

”I voted to ban semi-automatic assault weapons"


I'm not sure what that actually is

The political equivalent of holding up a pile of dog feces in your hand and saying, "look what I almost stepped in?"

"Sanders went on to say “99.9 percent” of gun owners “obey the law,” and no progress is going to made on gun control until “extreme positions” are abandoned.
Sanders did not address his own conundrum—if “99.9 percent” of gun owners are law-abiding, why do we need more gun control? Why not instead practice criminal control of the .1 percent of gun owners whom Sanders sees as problematic?"

The author of that article is pretty dumb. Controlling the .1% would fix the problem and the opportunity to control the 99.9% would go away.

I do know if my guys are out of the GOP race by the time I get to vote and Bernie and Hillary are swinging away still - Bernie it is.

Bring the crash on that much faster.

 

[Hoover]

If they needed his vote for an AWB, mag limits, background checks, etc he would be there for the dems/antis. Don't think for a moment he can be trusted.

Problem with supporting Bernie just to do away with the Wicked Witch may be "What if he actually wins?" and don't think for a minute something so effed up couldn't happen in this effed up country in 2015. Cuz if he wins he'll be about 75 by the time he's inaugurated, then maybe croak from the stress when he's 77, and his Veep will serve out the balance of his term, build up a following of her own in the process, and we'll end up with TEN YEARS of President Lizzie....

It "can't happen"??...Anyone paying attention to how moronically stupid the under 40 generation is as a whole these days? Sanders/Warren until 2028 is "laughable", right?...I lived in Minnesota for a bit, years ago. After I left they went on to elect Randy "Macho Man" Savage's tag-team partner as Governor. The country was "shocked" when they saw the news...I wasn't surprised AT ALL...Half the democratic chick voters in the US elected a Hillbilly who blew good sax on the Arsenio Hall show...There are millions and millions of registered voters who want to carve Barack Hussein Obama's face onto Mount Rushmore.

Sanders "can't win", according to those esteemed Democrat analysts Mike Capuano and Steven Lynch? Neither could a Georgia peanut farmer, back in the day, nor a rookie Senator from Illinois preaching "Hope" etc....

I wish socialists would care as much about economic sustainability as they do about environmental sustainability. They are very good analogues of each other, each with their own types of pollution, ecological destruction and death. Still, I'd rather Bernie got elected than Hillary, if I absolutely had to choose. I just have one message for him.

 

[SalemCat]

I'd vote for Bernie in a Heartbeat before I'd vote for any WORTHLESS Bush.

Like the picture, but Selma Hayek didn't say that

And don't EVER forget Vermont is by far the most friendly New England State when it comes to Gun Ownership.

Ok, reality check.

1. Bernie doesn't give a rat's ass about gun control. He's just pandering, rather ineffectively.
2. He's not going to win the nomination.
3. He's not going to run Independent. There's no way the machine will let that happen.

Hillary is your D.

On the R side, who knows? It's the usual fustercluck of idiots. I will guarantee that a traditional small government conservative won't get the nomination. Those days are gone. There's too much money to be suckled off the government teat now.

Sorry, but it's best to just mentally prepare yourselves. It's going to be dumb and dumber.

You're probably right, and this is why I vote in presidential primaries but not in elections. Are Bush and Trump seriously in the top two republicrat spots or is America just trolling me?

 

[Tacoma]

Well he is a VT Senator.

Did she really say that? I was too busy looking at her boobs and I got all befuddled.

 

[Nation On Fire]

If he can't stand people as much in real life as he did on "Curb Your Enthusiasm", then he's got my vote.

Yep, you can be high as you want and carry while you're in the salt mines.

If I'm carrying my Overseer better give me a second helping of gruel

Eh. He also supports the AWB. Infinitely better than Clinton. But he's not a water carrier for the Establishment, e.g. Big Banks, Big Oil, etc. like Clinton so he's not getting the nomination anyway.
