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 NBCs Meet the Press that its unspeakable that students are no longer surprised by school shootings.
Its a three-letter word. Its the NRA, Sanders said. And its Trump and the Republicans who dont have the guts to stand up to these people and thats pretty pathetic."
Sanderss 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 its 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."
Youre not going to fix it by taking away the rights of law-abiding citizens, North said.
Bernie can take heart. When I get too old to use my guns I’m going to practice some socialist redistribution and give my guns and ammo to as many deserving young Patriot pups as I can find. :)
From those who can’t to those who can. MOLON LABE!
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Latin for, "If you wish for peace, prepare for war."
We mustn't let the burden of preparation fall to others.
The NRA is to blame because school boards do not protect our children? School boards are responsible for the safety of our children. First time a parent sues a school board for lack of protection, there will be armed guards in every school.
It’s not the NRA that stands against your so-called “common sense Gun Control.” It’s ME!
I will not surrender my Right to self defense because of the actions of criminals, most of whom have a decided liberal bent.
If we ban anything ban anyone who votes Democrat from owning guns. They’re the ones doing the crimes NOT me!
Just like the guts you all have against the media, naacp, laraza, now, et al, Bernie?
Those kind of guts?
Any Jew who supports “gun control” after what happened in Europe during the 1930’s and 1940’s is an effin’ moron.
Yes, Sanders, you communist, I’m talking to you!
The NRA doesn't have chit to do with the school shooting deaths.
Mental illness is the problem.
There have been about 300 school shooting deaths in the past 30 odd years.
Meanwhile, your pet organization, Planned Parenthood, is just about solely responsible for about 1.25M infanticides per year.
If you're serious about curbing children's deaths you might want to take another look at what is happening where.
I wasn’t aware that the NRA was a co-equal branch of government.
Hey Bernie...do you blame AAA for lack of enforcement on drunk drivers?
This old hag needs to retire to one of his free houses.
I am the NRA!
Bernie is asking you to do just that....vote your rights away.
If there’s a 3 letter “word” NRA Bernie hates, there is a 3 letter acronymn for a lowlife, hypocritical socialist named Bernie:
P.O.S.
He will go to your home, confiscate all your guns and have David Hogg lecture and chastise you to educate you and your loved ones.
A motivational reminder to get out and vote GOP even if not the perfect candidate. Better than those guys.
Hasn’t his Home State of Vermont had Constitutional Carry for Decades?
Actually yes, that is socialism. It is a spoils system. As a dutiful party member he received his reward.
Hey Bernie, if Trump is Hitler arent you playing into his hands.
Why hasn’t Bernie moved to a country he likes? Perhaps red China, North Korea, or Venezuela. You go Bernie and don’t look back!
Bernie, why don’t you just shut up and go back to the hills of Vermont?
I carried a Buck Folding Hunter on my belt all through high school until I traded it for Browning folder. That thing opened smoove with a V yo! That kind of freedoming would get you on all the news shows now.
Actually I think the second amendment is to blame, thankfully.
he won’t get a chance to ‘educate’ people if he tries to break into their homes and/or steal their property first
just saying. the obvious...
