“After the killing of two journalists on air in August 2015, Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders stated that he would introduce ‘constructive gun control legislation which most significantly gets guns out of the hands of people who should not have them,'” Paul Gherkin writes at firstonethrough.wordpress.com. “Similarly, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton commented that she is in favor of ‘reform that keeps weapons out of the hands that should not have them.'” Gherkin wonders how Democrats can hold this position . . .
when they’re happy enough to support a deal that enables a profoundly unstable nation to possess the ultimate weapon.
Would Clinton and Sanders enable “violently unstable” Americans that have a constitutional right to bear arms, keep an entire weapons making assembly line? Why do they promote a “half standard” for a “violently unstable” country to maintain a vast nuclear weapons infrastructure?
