You should tell Sanders that - he keeps using the rationalization that guns in Vermont are different from guns in Chicago. HE is the one who initially mentioned Chicago, not me.

Bernie Sanders is PRO-GUN CONTROL Fearless Nov 2015 #1

With which aspects of Bernie's gun control stance do you disagree? JDPriestly Nov 2015 #19
Moore. "I was surprised that he had voted against gun control as many times as he had" thanks RSF Cha Nov 2015 #4
They love Michael Moore.... sheshe2 Nov 2015 #6
I would certainly hope they wouldn't throw Michael under the bus like they have everyone else who Cha Nov 2015 #7
Interesting. Thanks. riversedge Nov 2015 #8
Was he fine with this Hillary flyer? jfern Nov 2015 #12
Ancient news. Got anything current? George II Nov 2015 #27
So nothing Hillary did before 2009 matters? jfern Nov 2015 #29
I never said that. Why don't you delve into Sanders' vindictive political background and history... George II Nov 2015 #33
Bernie vindictive? Talk about projection.. jfern Nov 2015 #34
You would be VERY surprised if you did some research. George II Nov 2015 #37
No need to make shit up jfern Nov 2015 #40
Yes, I agree with you there. George II Nov 2015 #44

But, but,but....Moore voted for Nader. Armstead Nov 2015 #13
Moore's tweet about deer zalinda Nov 2015 #14
Yes. Deer cause many accidents. JDPriestly Nov 2015 #20
So to avoid a problem with deer in the northeast we should "cull" the young children of Chicago? George II Nov 2015 #28

Vermont literally has the lowest number off gun murders per 100k people. phleshdef Nov 2015 #32
Exactly. But Sanders always rationalizes his many votes against the Brady Bill... George II Nov 2015 #35
It has the lowest gun murders though. That distinction does matter, at least somewhat. phleshdef Nov 2015 #38
Gun deaths are gun deaths - whether they're intentional or due to stupidity. George II Nov 2015 #39
I disagree. Suicide is a totally different thing. phleshdef Nov 2015 #41
It works for Vermont, but if he wants to be president... vorgan24 Nov 2015 #43
Considering his very pro-gun control votes in recent years, he doesn't need to see anything. phleshdef Nov 2015 #45
Has he admited that he made a mistake on voting against the Brady bill... vorgan24 Nov 2015 #47
I dont know. I just know his recent votes have been correct. phleshdef Nov 2015 #48
So we shouldn't hold politicians accountable for past votes? vorgan24 Nov 2015 #49
Only if they havent seen the light since said past votes. phleshdef Nov 2015 #50
And you're exactly correct... vorgan24 Nov 2015 #51

"Sanders voted against the Brady gun control bill? Voted FIVE times against it" yes he did Michael Cha Nov 2015 #16
Glug Glug. BeanMusical Nov 2015 #18
Is that the sound of Sanders choking on his gun record? George II Nov 2015 #36
No, it's the sound one does when smearing feces. But some people get oblivious to that sound... BeanMusical Nov 2015 #55
