Gun control is a distraction, a minor issue
compared to the issue of building a more connected, peaceful and fair society.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026632741#post2Translation: Crazy Bernie, who has an "F" rating from the NRA, once failed to take the most extreme anti-gun position.
Hildebeast supporters have jumped on that, putting Crazy Bernie to the right of Charlton Heston.

1. Not really, gun owners take their rights much more seriously than they do for
Say Women's rights, racial equality, labor reform, etc....

2. You are wrong.
I am a gun owner and what you say is absolutely not true.
I don't like to think of the mentally-ill DUmpangelnumbers with a loaded gun.

4. In that sense, Sanders will appeal to a far broader range of voters.
Personally, I don't have a problem with Sanders' record on gun laws, except for the limit on magazine capacity.
Skippy thinks Crazy Bernie will appeal to people concerned about Second Amendment rights.
More evidence that his brain surgeon scooped out a few tablespoons of gray matter from the wrong spot.

10. No it will not.
Sanders is an honest person who cares about the people. He doesn't care about taking bribes from 1%s and selling his soul to wall street. He is genuine. People will vote for him and what he stands for.
DUmpangelnumbers may need that gun for protection against Jugs and the rest of the Hildebeast gang.

28. No.
Just because some sub-human, POS, assholes have to resort to using firearms, etc,
and other other sub-human, POS, assholes respond in kind over petty ass bullshit, is no reason enact
more gun control, legislation.
Deal with the gang problem first, then maybe we can discuss the gun problem.
Enjoy your stay at the DUmp.

57. Sub-human? What exactly is a "sub-human"?
Is a "sub-human" anything like a "gang banger" or a "thug"?

26. Detoxification begins with removing the
Antibody, which in this case is guns. Only a moran would believe that there is no corolation between legalized guns and violence. The proof is in, and countries with strict gun controls have less violent crime - PERIOD, END OF DEBATE.
My solution: all guns begin "legal". If you want to own a gun that it is registered to you for life. If someone steals it and it's involved in a crime, then you and the person who stole it are BOTH held accountable. If you want to own a gun then you need to be held responsible for it. If you ever want to get rid of it, then you its turn it in to the authorities.

118. A gun only has a single purpose in modern society. It is used
Strictly to kill. A gun has no other practical use. Target shooting has no value to modern society, neither does hunting simce it's not required to survive in modern society.

76. The issue with gun ****rol is that the Left has lost and lost badly.
I'm not sure where we even go at this point.

83. We start by recognizing that gun legislation is not a right-wing vs. left-wing issue
The party is going to have to make peace with gun owners. Notice I didn't say "make peace with the NRA" - right now, that's impossible. Reach out to the average gun owner in America with a plan for gun legislation that is doable and Constitutional without being overreaching.
Common sense gun control!! A democrat favorite!
A great rant by Jugs! The Ku Klux Klams are all-in for the Hildebeast:

106. millions of human lives
are minor. A culture of violence, war and militarization, minor. Human life pales in comparison to what you care about, which is what exactly? "Peaceful society"? There is no peaceful society when we exist in a continual state of domestic war, when police kill citizens and people like you turn a blind eye and call it minor.
The callous disregard for human life is appalling.
...
I'm sick of hearing the privileged tell the rest of us how little we matter. You don't give a **** about our lives, so **** your elitist politics.
This is the last straw. The complete contempt for the poor and disenfranchised by people claiming to be liberals is repulsive. You want everyone to forsake their basic rights, and now even our lives, to satisfy the white middle- and upper-middle class' anger at Wall Street. You are not worth more than the people being killed by guns in the inner city, though it's pretty clear you think you are. The arrogance and disregard for human life is as contemptible a position as I've seen. If that is what supporting Sanders is about, hell will freeze over before I empower people who openly dismiss the deaths of millions of Americas, more dead through gun violence since 1968 than in all the wars in US history. How could their lives matter compared to your desire for an entertainer in chief to be on cable TV and make you feel good about yourselves? This post shows those words of "connected and peaceful" are complete artifice when you invoke them to justify millions of deaths.
Congratulations for sinking Sanders' candidacy. I knew if anyone could do it, it would be people on this site. People here are a prime example of why no one outside your little in-crowd wants anything to do with you or your elitist class project. You keep up the great and noble fight for the 10 percent vs. the 1 percent. I'm going to look after myself because clearly you don't give a shit ablout my basic right to life, a mere "minor concern."
