During a Monday night town hall with CNN, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) was asked what he would do to prevent another mass shooting, like what took place at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston in 2015. Sanders raddled off the typical anti-gun talking points of passing universal background checks, ending the "gun show loophole" and banning so-called "assault weapons." He did, however, create a new gun control argument that is totally false: the idea that a "strawman provision" takes place.

From the article:
"It's very clear to me that there's a growing consensus in this country. I'm not going to tell you everybody agrees on every nuance, but there is a growing consensus between gun owners, non-gun owners, rural states like mine and urban states, about several things," Sanders explained.
"Number one: we need universal background checks. People who have a violent past, including domestic violence, should not be owning guns," he said. "Number two: we have to end the so-called 'gun show loophole,' which allows people to legally purchase guns while avoiding a background check."
Out and out lies. Criminals don't buy guns at gun shows and there is no consensus among gun owners that we need more gun control. |
