1. La Trayectoria Controversial de Bernie Sanders y la NRA.
La historia de Bernie Sanders con respecto a las armas es un punto recurrente de crítica, destacando su apoyo inicial de la NRA, sus votos en contra de legislaciones clave y la percepción de que sus posturas estaban influenciadas por la demografía rural de Vermont.
- Bernie was also anti gun control. He was once supported by the nra took donations from them when he first started in congress. He voted against the brady bill several times against being able to sue gun manufacturers.
- Finally, we need to bring up the fact that he takes money from the nra. Theyre responsible for putting him in national office in the first place when they packed his campaign against a politician who was going to vote yes for sensible gun control.
- I remember when sanders first ran for president and he assured his white vermont voters that when he was talking about gun laws, he was talking about inner cities.
- It took him decades to move on gun control! its exhausting.
2. Candidatos Emergentes y Posturas Complejas sobre Armas.
Nuevos candidatos como Graham Platner y figuras establecidas como Mark Kelly presentan posturas matizadas o incluso contradictorias, buscando equilibrar los derechos de la Segunda Enmienda con la necesidad de seguridad, atrayendo tanto apoyo progresista como críticas por su historial.
- Hes a great candidate. Armed and trained a socialist gun club to confront neo nazi militias in maine.
- I actually dont think a slur-using gun hoarder who feels no patriotism toward the united states would be the best possible pick for united states senator.
- Mark kellys an american hero. Hes pro-gun control. Hes prochoice. Hes pro aca. Hes pro economic integrity. He reps a swing state.
- He was only ever good on gun control, but he couldnt get a bipartisan coalition built after sandy hook.
- Hes moderated a lot of his positions on many things like guns, partnering up with fred gutenberg, a gun control activist whose daughter was murdered at parkland.
3. Activismo, Estrategia Electoral y la Polarización.
El activismo por el control de armas, liderado por figuras como David Hogg, choca con la realidad electoral, donde muchos demócratas son criticados por ser demasiado cautelosos o por adoptar una estrategia débil frente a la oposición pro-armas, especialmente en áreas rurales.
- The problem with guns goes much deeper than laws, it is ingrained in our culture so democrats do have to be somewhat careful with that issue.
- Hogg made a point of saying he screened out candidates who werent pro-gun control.
- Yes, he does usually vote with the dems, but he is an apologist. In my opinion, he typifies the dems bringing a knife to a gun fight.
- Nearly 90 percent of americans including the overwhelming majority of gun owners support universal background checks. Yet congress wont pass it because a small, well-funded lobby has convinced politicians their careers will end if they vote yes.
- I dont see how you can take any candidate seriously in 2026 that doesnt have an eye on gun reform, healthcareeducation, the economy, or civil rights.
