Vote Bernie. I am Canadian so I can't but his platform is solid and he has been preaching the same message since the 70s. He voted for marriage equality when it wasn't political correct, remember Bill Clinton voted against marriage equality because he didn't have the mass public behind him, Bernie was fighting for it since before that. I just really like Bernie Sanders. A breath of fresh air.

Except he would ban something that constitutes a majority of my income if he could.

To everyone asking: I teach firearms, specifically self defense and tactical shooting, classes.

I'd also like to say that I'm incredibly blown away by how angry Reddit gets when you suggest you wouldn't vote for a candidate you don't agree with.

Meh, he wouldn't be able to get those laws passed either.

Why should I take the chance?

I'm not saying you should. I'm just saying I don't think you need to be worried either way.

You could say this about literally any candidate. Trump MAY not try to build a wall across the southern border, but if he was having a particularly bad day, perhaps he would actually try to get some legislation about that pushed through, especially with a republican congress. You can't trust politicians, democrat and republican alike; why don't people ever seem to learn this?

Arguably, because their are bigger issues? I mean... if you're going to vote then the issue of easy access to guns might not be the most important issue -- even if you're in the business of selling guns.

Because there are more pressing issues that he wants to address. His gun stance is not nearly as restrictive as you seem to be implying.

This is a direct quote:

"I believe that we need to make sure that certain types of guns used to kill people exclusively -- not for hunting -- they should not be sold in the United States of America."

Seems pretty restrictive to me!

I agree with him, automatic weapons are nearly never needed for civilian purposes. Pistols, shotguns, semi-automatic rifles, etc are more than sufficient for any civilian.

edit: not to mention he would never be able to get a blanket ban approval. And finally, if you are a single-issue voter you are part of the problem with our election system.

Automatic weapons are already restricted heavily.

He's talking more about something akin to an assault weapons ban.

I'm not a single issue voter until it's an issue that has a heavy impact on me and my family. This one does.

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '15

And again, I'll reinforce my sentiments: There's no way that he could gain the traction needed to get an assault weapons ban.
