They need to know about ebay. Sweep up a ton for nothing and sell it on ebay as collectors items. Worth a lot more that way.

Novel idea, but they don't have any electricity Tex.

He was a pro gun moderate liberal at one point.

Cleve.... sanders started being a serious pro-gun control wonk because he caught crap for his attempt to widen his voter base a bit, and got hammered for it. Sanders will say anything to try to ride the wave of democrat sentiments to the lead.

But since 2016, Sanders, who’s now running for the presidential nomination in 2020, has taken a different tack on guns. He’s reiterated the need to expand background checks and ban assault weapons. He’s pointed to his broader support for gun control, and co-sponsored several Senate gun violence bills. In public appearances and social media, he’s highlighted his own past remarks, going back to the late 1980s, in which he called for a ban on assault weapons.

Guns were a rare vulnerability on the left for Sanders in the 2016 campaign — a weakness Sanders is now trying to avoid. But his shift also reflects a Democratic Party newly invigorated on gun control, as activists and survivors of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting have put the issue front and center. (To this point: One of Democrats’ first major votes after taking control of the House after the 2018 midterm elections was to pass a universal background check bill.)
