Blue_true
(31,261 posts)I really have no use for guns, but I am ok with other people having them if:
They go through a robust background check through an up to date database that look at criminal records and have at least a notation about any mental health issues.
The guns are registered. I am willing to compromise on this one.
The owners take responsibility for securing the guns so that they can't be stolen or used by kids.

With this fund, and registration, purchasers, dealers and manufacturers will not be liable for damages.
The fund will also cover damages from recovered stolen guns used in crimes.

(31,261 posts)Where he praised Dana Loesch, said the school walkout was foolish, said his home is a gun owning home and his daughter at college need to arm herself, called out the marchers that were marching today, said that he was opposed to gun control and that the Second Amendment protects any type of gun.

(31,261 posts)He robustly supported Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary.

(51,921 posts)After that, Killer and Bernie did a few rallies together, then Mike faded back into obscurity for the most part. Now he rears his NRA brainwashed head to knock a bunch of great kids who deserve a ton of credit for their efforts.
Maybe because he chooses to call himself "Killer Mike" he feels obligated to become the darling of the NRA. In any case, Bernie's gotta dump this guy, muy pronto, if he's thinking about getting into the 2020 Dem primaries.

(2,897 posts)That's more likely than him, Dana Loesch, and the NRA convincing African Americans that the NRA gives a damn about us.

(3,820 posts)the NRA is a far-right white identity organization that has nothing to do with responsible gun ownership or self defense.
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)He does have some good causes, like police being quick to shot black and brown people.
My guess is he just like guns and fell into an NRA trap by doing the interview. There are several DU members who appear to like working with guns, I have no issue with guns other that they should not be available to a lot of people that can easily buy them.
