The Denmark Double Standard

I've seen Denmark referenced every day now by Hillary Supporters as a means of bashing Bernie. I'd say fair game to leverage this from the debate. However, Hillary was touting Australia's Gun Control laws as a go-to standard for the U.S. I've always been a proponent of gun control and I hate the NRA. But if Bernie can't use Denmark as an example of policy, Clinton supporters have no leg to stand on when it comes to gun control.

Either using another country's success as a policy example is good to do or it's not. And if you say it's bad for Bernie but good for Clinton, then guess what: you're a hypocrite.

with Foster's Lager. Bernie obviously wants you to be taxed at 60% and barely be able to afford the mandated licorice and akvavit.
