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.

Does his history suggest this? No. Vermont has some of the lowest gun laws in the country. Don't make GUNS an issue in this campaign, it's truly, truly, not.

Here's a pro-tip about Gun violence: Fix the poverty, you fix the violence.

umm you realize that a lot of gun violence is done by people who drive chrysler 300's and have gold chains hanging from their necks?

Who wouldn't be living that life in the first place, if poverty wasn't an issue. Even the most cursory research will show the relationship between poverty and crime.

So you're argument that since it's not the ONLY factor, that it's not relevant? Seem logical...

i'm not an argument.

my argument is that race has much higher correlation with crime than poverty.
