Respectfully, as a Bernie supporter who lives in Vermont, what @ostrich.bsky.social said is correct. He has also supported gun owners' rights, so he has at least partial blame for our current national gun situation. Is he good in other respects? Mostly yes. Is he bad on this issue? Also maybe yes.

Okay, and he has never updated his stance on guns? I'm asking. As a legislator from a small, rather rural state, it seems unreasonable to expect him to be anti-gun. Also, I don't expect to always agree with any politician, even my favorite one.

I didn't say he never updated his stance, but the NRA got him his senate seat. If you choose to believe that's a principled change of heart go for it, but I think you're mad because you understand that the typical cynicism of assuming liberals are lying cuts against that here.

Sometimes. But I want you to point to any proof that Bernie has been influenced by lobbyists, ever, in his long career.
