I guess Bernie does not want to tell people about how when gun clubs were just as common as others in public high schools, there was certainly not the violent mayhem of today.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in an interview on Sunday blamed the National Rifle Association (NRA) for the lack of action in Congress on gun control legislation.
Sanders told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that it’s “unspeakable” that students are no longer surprised by school shootings.
“It’s a three-letter word. It’s the NRA,” Sanders said. “And it’s Trump and the Republicans who don’t have the guts to stand up to these people and that’s pretty pathetic."
Sanders’s remarks come after 10 people were killed in a shooting at a high school in Texas late last week.
The Vermont senator, who caucuses with Democrats, said “of course” the upper chamber has not done enough on gun control legislation.
“But it’s like every other issue. The American people are united overwhelmingly,” he said, referring to “common sense” gun reform policies.
Incoming NRA President Oliver North also hit the Sunday show circuit, emphasizing the need for metal detectors in schools during an interview with "Fox News Sunday."
“You’re not going to fix it by taking away the rights of law-abiding citizens,” North said.
Oh, Bernie, there is plenty of action on gun control, just not the kind of action you would like...
GO NRA!
How’s your new plane and dascha Bernie? Hillary take care of you? Living in a socialist way?
Or maybe rational people don’t trust to commie gun grabbers like Bernie?
Sane Americans: Democrats are responsible for the utter loss of moral compass in America and the rise of evil.
Keep yapping jackass.
Bernie and his fellow travelers do not believe they are tyrants. Every gun owner in the country knows with absolute certainty that guns are the single impediment to a communist takeover. The only protection from guns the socialists are interested in is their own when they begin to grind their boots into our faces.
Yes. Yes we are.
Don’t be ridiculous, Bernie. I also give to the GOA and other gun rights organization.
The NRA is only one of them. ;)
Expect thgis kind of stuff because the Promise policies were not being brought up after the Parkland murders.
....says the Hillary puppet boy...
Or to put it another way to put it; The progressive agenda is attempting to destroy America. Various levels toward totalitarian rule. Encourage the shootings,,,then ban the guns. Then move on to the next institution of freedom. And get rid of it. Till eventually everyone will be a slave.
Why don’t you live in Venezuela Bernie?
Why hasn’t Bernie gone to Venezuela where his kind lives?? Take Sean Penn with you, he spent all the reward money from turning in El Chapo.
...Bernie Sanders: NRA to blame for lack of action on gun control...
For once, Bernie speaks the truth.
I guess Bernie does not want to tell people about how when gun clubs were just as common as others in public high schools, there was certainly not the violent mayhem of today.
Bernie...Please show us all a photo or a declaration of ANY gun that has ever been charged, tried, and convicted for murder....
NRA, conservatives, GOP, Trump. It’s always one of them who’s the cause of all the world’s troubles.
Absolutely. NRA has preserved the constitution. No thanks to seditionists like Bernie and the Marxist dhimmicrats.
