He’s behind a rock and a hard place on that one. Vermont is stuffed full of extreme libs, ready to vote for Bernie Sanders as a Socialist.
But Vermont is also stuffed full of guns. Everybody has one. The hippies are out there shooting along with everyone else. Rats, squirrels, and raccoons, if not turkeys and deer. And Vermont gun laws are the most liberal in the nation.
So what else can Bernie say, except that Vermonters with guns are A-OK. Otherwise, he’d never get re-elected to the Senate. Chicago, maybe not so much.
Wuat? He is, saying people are different? Is he saying that the law, abiding are actually different from criminals when it comes to guns?
Lets change a couple of Bernies words to more reality.
“I think the people of Vermont understand that people in Vermont are different than people in Chicago or people In Los Angeles when it comes to guns.”
That settles it, I'm going to Vermont and taking my guns with me, just to watch them change before my very eyes as we cross the border into Vermont.
Just not now.
Gun Grabber Alert
If you passed the strongest gun control legislation tomorrow, I dont think it will have a profound effect on the tragedies we have seen,
I finally found something I agree with Bernie Sanders about.
Is Sanders giving up his guns?
One Percent of the overall Population of Vermont is Black.
The same goes for the other four designated Minority Groups.
According to Census figures, Vermont is 95% White.
Ten Percent of Prison Inmates in Vermont are Black.
Math is hard.
Nope, sorry jagoff, the Constitution applies equally throughout the country.
My guess, judging from where he grew up, his thinking will be like Mike Bloombergs when it comes to guns. Vermonters won’t be happy with that.
Hillary Clinton talks about ‘gun reform’.
What is there to ‘reform’ about the Constitution of the United States, the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
To ‘reform’ it is to abridge it and that is unacceptable.
Bernie sounds better than Hillary on the Second Amendment at this point, who would have thought that......
“I think the people of Vermont understand that guns in Vermont are different than guns in Chicago or guns in Los Angeles,
Socialist speak for if elected president, he intends to push for and support gun control.
Sounds remarkably like Ben Carson.
...I think the people of Vermont understand that guns in Vermont are different than guns in Chicago or guns in Los Angeles...
A 1911 Colt is the same in both places. Its the hand that carries it and the use that hand puts it to is the difference.
The law abiding in Vermont, Chicago, and Los Angeles equally have the right to own or possess the firearm of their choice whenever and whereever they want. Sorry, Berno.

Potential Republican presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson reassured potential conservative supporters last week that he opposes any kind of ban on assault weapons and that he would firmly defend the full extent of the Second Amendment if he were to be elected to a political office.
Troubled by the criticism he's received from conservative skeptics over a gun control comment made in a 2013 interview with Fox News' "Glenn Beck," Carson hosted a conference call last week to clarify his stance on gun control before setting off to speak at a fundraising event in Iowa over the weekend.
The 63-year-old conservative's mission in hosting the conference call was to elaborate on a comment he issued while speaking with Beck in February 2013, where he said that he would "rather not have" semi-automatic weapons in the inner cities.
When Beck asked Carson if he believed if people had the right to own semi-automatic weapons, Carson replied: "That depends on where you live. If you live in the midst of a lot of people, and I'm afraid that that semi-automatic weapon is going to fall into the hands of a crazy person, I would rather you not have it. If you live out in the country somewhere by yourself, I have no problem."
As Bloomberg Politics reports, Carson told listeners on last Wednesday's conference call that if he were president or in a position of power, "under no circumstances" would he "allow a bureaucrat to remove any law-abiding citizen's rights for any kind of weapon that they want to protect themselves."
He continued by saying that he would strive to allow citizens the right to bear "automatic and semi-automatic weapons" and he would stand against any bans limiting ownership of assault weapons or handguns. Additionally, he's opposed to any expanded background check requirement for gun ownership.
Carson admitted that he should have clarified his stance while appearing on Beck's program because he felt he didn't "convey" his gun control stance "appropriately."

I’m sure Sanders will also clarify his statement at some point later on as well.
