Leave It to Wacky Bernie to Create an Entirely New and Totally False Gun Control Talking Point

"Number one: we need universal background checks. People who have a violent past, including domestic violence, should not be owning guns," he said.

"Number two: we have to end the so-called 'gun show loophole,' which allows people to legally purchase guns while avoiding a background check."

"Number three: we gotta end the so-called 'strawman provision,' which allows you to walk in, buy as many guns as you want, and then sell them to gangs and criminal elements," Sanders explained.

"Number four: what we gotta do – and something that I have supported for like 30 years – is ban the sale and distribution of assault weapons in this country."

I wish someone would ask him what the purpose of the 2nd amendment is?

Of course ANY ‘gun control’ is infringement. Including ‘having’ to obtain a permit with the sheriff’s permission to carry a firearm.

Maybe first we should ask him if he knows what a strawman is.

For the record, I plan to vote for Bernie when the primary clown show comes to my state.

I think that’s a reasonable course of action for every Trump supporter in the nation.

And, based on recent commentary by the demodrone contestants it would seem they’ve broken out the gun control guide book again:

This will soon be known as "domestic interference in our elections."

I’m voting for Biden. I would prefer that the delegates be well-split, so that a nasty brokered convention will ensue.

Sanders should be asked if he knows who Brian Terry was.

Every weapon, including guns, knives, hammers, staplers, etc., are all potential assault weapons.

Criminals are apparently an important demographic group to the DNC.

"Sanders should be asked if he knows who Brian Terry was."

Sanders should be asked how the Bolsheviks (his apparent heroes) would have successfully overthrown their government if they didn't have guns. How did Marx envision the 'workers revolution' happening, if they workers didn't have weapons for their revolution?

The Bolsheviks did have guns, of course, but after seizing power they confiscated the guns of the rest of the populace - just like Bernie is advocating, and just like all dictatorships do.

Hell here I was thinking to by an official full auto assault weapon, the FERAL Government pretty much regulates those.

It also enforces the law with 1000 bureaucratic deep state operatives called the BATFE.
