The Usual Anti-Self-Defense Bigotry Would Make Bloomberg Proud :: 02/24/2020

The article lamented that the defenders may go unprosecuted.

It's Not Hard to Figure Out Why Bernie Sanders Is Now Mr. Confiscation On Gun Policy :: 02/19/2020
Sen. Bernie Sanders caucuses with a party that is anti-gun. We all know this. The Democratic Party is for gun confiscation. They’re for destroying Second Amendment freedoms. They’re for shredding the Constitution. For years, Sanders remained in line with his constituents. Vermont is a heavily armed state. It’s constitutional carry and for all you anti-gunners who don’t know what that is, it’s what should be a national law. It simply states you don’t need a permit to conceal or open carry. Yes, Vermont, in deep-blue New England, has such a law on the books, along with a gun ownership rate that hovers around 70-75 percent. If you enter a Vermont resident’s home, there’s a high chance that they own a gun. One of Sanders' most criticized votes is his vote to protect this freedom from endless litigation.

Mayor Pete on Guns :: 02/18/2020
One of the Democrats’ favorite talking points on gun control is that we don’t need military weapons of war on America’s streets. Former mayor Pete Buttigieg has been the most effective of the presidential candidates at making this claim, because of his military background. If anyone knows whether a gun is a military weapon, it is surely an Afghanistan War veteran who was trained on these weapons.
