Bernie and the "gun" thing [View all]

It's amazing how they whipped this one up so that people seem incoherent about it.

If someone ran into your car with their car because they were drinking. . . .

You would want to sue them.

But, do you think you should be able to sue Budweiser and Ford for making the beer and the car they used to smash your car?

That was what Bernie voted against. I think he has a D- rating from the NRA. But you think that being able to sue Ford because their car was used to smash yours, that makes sense to you? If so, I don't think your are rational.
