Those right wing wet dreams are going nowhere.

Bernie's gonna beat her fair and square, on the issues.

I'm surprised he didn't get burned at the stake. Isn't that the same place Cruz announced his candidacy?

Bernie calls for tougher gun laws. Thank you, Senator.

"Specifically, the Vermont senator called for a ban on the sale of assault-style weapons, closing the so-called gun-show loophole — which allows gun sales to proceed without a completed background check — as well as improvements to the review system intended to keep guns out of the hands of those, such as convicted criminals, who are not supposed to have firearms."

I don't have a problem with any of these, however I doubt they would provide even a decent speed bump for criminals and crazies.

"Reasonable" gun control is just a half measure.

The problem with half measures is that they won't work.

The criminals and the crazies will find ways to work around those.

In order to really keep guns out of the hands of criminals and crazies you would need extremely draconian measures that would also make it a pain in the ass for ordinary law abiding citizens to own guns.

At this point, I don't give a shit about law abiding citizen's wishes. They've had decades to address these issues and all they do is cower in the face of the rabid NRA gun nuts. Fuck 'em, Tom.

It's time for Americans to stand up for our right to life and the liberty not to have to worry if our loved ones will make it home from a school, shopping mall or movie theater because every bedwetter and lunatic is packing heat.

I'm all in for draconian measures.

1. No CCP unless you've passed extremely stringent background/psychological checks, extensive training/testing and you need it in the course of your business.

2. No assault rifles, period. (Tough shitski, join the army.)

3. If you want to hunt, fine. See #1 Long guns only, no semi autos.
