I said "Exactly." Because I am agreeing with the consistently astute onehandle's observation that, "This is about gun fetishist's lust."
Bernie would have never made those reprehensible votes if he did not have to bow to the reality of his constituency's gun lust. And because he made those votes, he is now understandably being raked over the coals for them by progressives that otherwise strongly support his economic positions. But for the gun fetishist's lust for MORE GUNZ!!1!1!, progressives would not be divided on this issue.
Insane gun lust is the only thing that explains otherwise progressive people's opposition to common sense gun control measures like universal background checks, assault weapons bans and magazine limits.
