I have a D- voting record from the NRA. I was — in 1988 — there were three candidates running for Congress in the state of Vermont, I stood up to the gun lobby and came out and maintained the position that in this country we should not be selling military-style assault weapons. I have supported from day one an instant background check to make certain that people who should not have guns do not have guns. And that includes people with criminal backgrounds; people who are mentally unstable.
I support what President Obama is doing in terms of trying to close the “gun show loopholes” and I think it should be a federal crime if people act as strawmen.
We have seen in [Charleston] a horrendous tragedy of a crazed person praying with people and then coming out and shooting nine people. This should not be a political issue. What we should be doing is working together.
And by the way, as a senator from rural state that has virtually no gun control, I believe I am in an excellent position to bring people together to fight for sensible gun safety legislation.
All this yells me is the people of Vermont are all doped up and living in a 1960’s time loop. these moron population of that degenerate state are totally clueless because if they were awake they would not have kept voting in the same incompetent Marxist communist A-Hole every six years. so these doped up ignorant jackasses who live in that Bolshevik state deserve what they get from there criminal leader.
