During a Sunday appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders made clear that he doesn’t believe Americans have the right to own guns for self defense.
And if you do own one, he’s planning to come for it as president.
Sanders took his long-standing opposition to the Second Amendment to the next level during the interview, when he said he believes in a ban for all guns not exclusively used for hunting.
“Nobody should have a gun who has a criminal background, who’s involved in domestic abuse situations. People should not have guns who are going to hurt other people, who are unstable,” said the Vermont socialist to host Chuck Todd.
Sanders continued, “And second of all, I believe that we need to make sure that certain types of guns used to kill people, exclusively, not for hunting, they should not be sold in the United States of America, and we have a huge loophole now with gun shows that should be eliminated.”
In essence, Sanders was calling for a complete ban on hand guns in the United States.
You can view the video of Sanders’ appearance below:
The beginning of a Communist dictator.
Who in the heck are all these freeloaders that are supporting this Socialist? Democrats are intent on disarming America. What a bunch of idiots…..
Come on over you old white haired moron. I’ll let you take a big suck on the business end of my Henry!!
If my Taurus doesn’t get there first.
Way to go, guys. Sanders will use your posts to say he is being threatened by the “gun nuts”.
This is why he wants to take them! Racist, angry, unstable fools like these–fighting hard to keep the only thing that makes them feel good )). I’ll bet these folks like the racist, Donald Chump too )) Peace✌????️
Move to Russia or Mexico you idiot! Obama racist #1!
A little history, Americans having guns was the only deterrent that kept the Japanese from invading the mainland of the USA. Which truly has NOTHING to do with racism.
I prefer Trump to anything that the Dems have to offer.
No thanks honey, I don’t do your type.
Hey, hey! you managed two “racist” s in two sentences. Limited vocabulary huh?
I do not own a gun (yet), but I fully support the 2nd Amendment. I offer for your consideration, a quote from George Washington: “When any nation mistrusts its citizens with guns, it is sending a clear message. It no longer trusts its citizens because such a government has evil plans.” I trust this white-haired old man much more that I trust YOUR white-haired old man.
You’re the”chump” if you voted for that abomination in office
If he thinks he can take away our 2nd amendment rights, what makes you think he won’t take away your 1st amendment rights? Wake up people
Typical democrat response. I have a lock on my door for your protection.
Locks are for honest people- guns for the rest.
Maybe when they get shot at they will change their mind. I’m from Vermont and would never vote this fool
Well Hillary was in on the signing of a bill at the UN asking for a world wide band on guns to get around the second amendment. People must understand the reason this country has never been invaded by a foreign government is that we are so well armed. Home invasion when upper 400% in Europe in the countries that outlawed guns.
They don’t want to disarm America. They just want to disarm you. Only lefty politician guards can have guns.
Bernie boy might get more than he can handle if he comes for guns that are used for protection because law abiding citizens are not going to give up their guns that protect their family!!!!
I live in a rural village and we have no police or state police to stop an home invasion. I have guns and will kept them. I am 75 years old and can protect myself. I hate people that go around and kill others but if I find someone invading my home I will protect it .
A lot of your dumb college kids that don’t have a bit of common sense they have been brain washed by the socialist running the colleges that’s what is wrong with this country today our colleges need a complete change by the way they are run!!!!
That would do more good than we can possibly imagine. I watched some of them after Killery’s SC win. The stuff they spew is classic socialist professor brainwashing.
these freeloaders are illegal aliens, blacks as well as whites, muslims etc. who are on the govt. dole and get everything free. i was reading about them the other day, and the article said that in order to live as well a person would have to make and clear/net around 25 dollars per hour.
Yeah Berni, YOU Personally come!! Ya Commie PUKE!
Bernie has proven that he is anti-American – He can have my guns but he get’s the bullets first.
Sanders is a communist and a liar just like that scum Hillary, both are progressive communists, who hate America and want to see it torn down and the people enslaved to a fascist fool like himself. This lowlife never worked a day in his life until he was thirty and has lived off the government dole all his life. Mindless, lazy freak that he is.
You forgot Obumma.
Congress needs to pass a law that you should have served at least two years in the arm forces before you can run for president!!! If it was law now we wouldn’t have Hillary, Sanders, and most of the rest on the ballot that includes Obama too!!!!!!!
They should do a police style or top secret security clearance style background investigation check on all these politicians also before they are allowed to work.
I agree with that good idea,how about Clinton,he ran to Canada. I think
You can’t pass a law that restricts someone’s ability to be president. It is in the constitution. You have to amend the constitution for that. Good luck with all the lefties put there.
OK BERNIE ‘ C’MON DOWN”‘ Take your Pick 9MM??? .40 Cal?? Which do you want to Catch????
how true
First off the 2nd ammendment to the Constitution gives me the right to bear arms. Secondly you just lost my vote, I will be blowing this up so the voters can see what a phony you really are. If my gun’s are taken so is my freedom’s, don’t think so. You will repay me and my husband for our permits to carry. Our gun training classes etc. The IRS excepted it with my taxes go fight them. I am outraged I really thought there was someone to vote for but I guess my vote now goes to Donald Trump. Now live with that. Completely outraged!
Correct and by his appearance, he has about 2.4 years of life left in that decrepit body, hell, if looks were anything, I’d swear he was recently pulled from a coffin, freaking’ zombiesgue to the grotesque, jus’ sayin’. .
He has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.
I would be happy to give you the bullets if you are threatening me, but, you will never get my guns
Bernie Sanders has consistently supported the right of US citizens to own a gun. He is true to his rural constiuency. This article is a LIE.
Let me guess…you voted for Obummer???? Nuff said!!!
Th guys a moron
yes and that is why he did not get more than 30%
Bernie should be thrown into a ‘no go zone’ and have no protection. Or how about Greece with the refugee/rapefugees.
Let’s see what he has to say then. Senile old imbecile.
NOTE: TO ALL BODYGUARDS: PLEASE WALK AWAY FROM ALL DEMOCRATS.
Amen..
To think people want to live like a slave to this rotten government world.. He will Never be president now… l am making sure to pass this along…
I can’t figure that part out either – unless most Democrats WANT to be just “sheeple”.
They’d better take another peek at their leaders – THEY’RE not “sheeple”, they are wannabe dictators.
We don’t get protection then they don’t either.
Ha ha thumbs up on that one .lol
This is “smoke and mirrors” to deflect attention from Hillary. He never intended to be president! The lib playbook! Don’t fall for it!!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, HILLARY IS THE ONE TO GRAB YOUR GUNS, WHOMEVER BECOMES POTUS HAS TO SWEAR TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION, THE BILL OF RIGHTS. SOME WHERE IN THERE. THERE IS THE 2ND AMENDMENT. IF YOU WONT SWEAR IN ON THIS DOCUMENT, YOU SHOULDNT BE POTUS!
That communist pig Hillary hates our Constitution just like Obama does, the only thing she will hold up is her dress. She is a liar and disgrace to America, no different from Obama at all. I fear the witch is even worse then Obama, she coverts terrorists and illegals way over Americans. Hillary hated our Military and our everything about our freedom. Hillary does want want to be President, the liar wants to be Queen of America. Progressives are the NWO using a different name. Wake up America Bernie and Hillary are not President material they are fascist material.
Hillary never wears dresses. She wears pajamas like Muslims.
Uh, no one is worse than obama.
Got three guns that think you’re right. It’ll be more as soon as I can make it that way.
Good Luck with that Bern….. don’t think you will get too far……you idiot!!!! Stupid is as stupid does!!!! You definitely won’t get my protection!!!! Come on down….., I know you will be giving up all of your security and firearms for protection, you clown!
Hey Bernie, “I think your hair says all there is to say about you”
He is a special kind of stupid.
And you’ll get them, LEAD first!
Bern: you too face hypocrite to Vermonter!! G it’s time for you t go back to Flat Bush and the home!
And Bernie smell the roses, Your done after Last Saturday, You had a What is called a Phhhhtt, Just a spurt and your done
I have known Bernie and supported his initiatives since the sixties (Remember Ben And Jerry’s in the closed gas station?) and it is time to say so-long.
He stays behind his armed guards and then takes our guns in his stupid dreams. He would not defend our country as he is to weak while those of us who spent our time in the military have to protect a slime like him.
I would like to personally thank you for defending myself, my family and my country, especially since I can’t anymore.
And if he tries to take peoples guns and go against the constitution,someone will end up shooting his dumb a–.
Keep waiting for that to happen to Obumma…..
…I’m astounded too…
Bernie should take his meds. The people you see with Bernie and you think they are security, are really his staff attendants from the nursing home he lives at. Go back to the nursing home old senile man.
Amen bro!
What’s with all the Jewish politicians trying to disarm honest American citizens? Sanders, Bloomberg, Feinstein, Frankin, Lantos, Boxer, Rothstein, Kohl,Nadler, Leiberman, Schumer, Rothman and Lautenberg? Most of the above have introduced legislation in favor of strict gun control. I would really like to know!
Very good post! And why are the central banks owned by jew criminals? ie,rottinchilds, rottinfellars.
This weirdo sounds even worse than all the above.
Because they feel the Gentiles are dangerous and can’t be trusted?
Who built this nation from scratch ,though???
Answer: The Gentiles!!!!
Are they going to ban sharp knives as well??
Because thousands of deaths can be attributed to knives as well!
And after your guns, knives are confiscated.
They will be looking to ban metal forks.????
Joos don’t care about you or America. It’s money, business, Israel, money, family, moneyl
I don’t think guns is Bernie’s biggest problem. It is likely that Hillary is going to end his hopes of winning the Democrat primary on Super Tuesday. I guess he was making one last desperate attempt to rally the radical fringe of the Democrat party.
By the way, terrorists have shown there are more effective ways to kill people than by handguns. Much of Bernie’s philosophy belongs back with the golden era of the Soviet Union.
There are many much more effective ways than handguns. Go read “The Anarchist’s Cookbook”. Oh, wait you can only get the watered down version anymore, 2/3 of it is gone. “But censorship is illegal in the US” – is not permitting it to be marketed “censorship”? I think so – if you disagree, I suggest you read Ray Bradbury’s Farenheit 451.
That’s it. You bet you’re done! Go home Bernie,your campaign is finished.
Remember that 50% pay no taxes and will vote Democrat. Remember that only about 10% of gun owners belong to any pro 2nd amendment organization. The media is very anti 2nd amendment and they have large wealthy supporters, Soros, Bloomberg etc. Easy enough to lose our 2nd amendment rights. In many states they are chipping away little by little and no one is doing anythng. Look at New York, Connecticuit, Calfornia etc. There are many Republicans who are anti 2nd amendment. Look at Sen. Toomey in Pa. for example. We are close to losing.
But they have to get them. That might be a little harder.??
You old burned out bastard ! What gives you the right to screw with our constitution!?!? You don’t have that right and all you’ll do is start a bloody war against American patriots defending our rights and yes they ARE our rights !! Go home to your lazy boy chair start your mental health medication back up and shut you fricken mouth or move to socialist country !! You sick bastard !! ????????
Right on!!!!
Bernie Sanders is a place holder. He is only there so libtards think they have a choice. Re: this election…
What a joke…. we have sheeples and their libtard leaders playing games on oneside and whining finger pointers on otherside No wonder we want to flush .. Get the politicians out an put Donald in.
“From my cold dead hands.” Enough said.
i copy that
Hey Bernie,
If Communisim is so much better than a capitalist society, then PLEASE… cite all the examples where people are risking their lives to crawl through barbed wire to join a Communist Country. The truth is, you CAN’T. As long as Communism has existed, people have risked their lives to get the hell away from COmmunism and in fact, this was the reason the Berlin wall was errected…. too many people were leaving Soviet occupied Germany. The wall was the suggestion of President Kennedy to avert a war with Stalin who was ticked off that Germans were flocking over the border and leaving the Soviet Sector a ghost town. The wall was bult to KEEP PEOPLE FROM FLEEING COMMUNISM. If you know of a brain dead kid who thinks Bernie Sanders is the Answer, there is no need to reinvent the wheel… have them read HISTORY of Germany after the WWII with Germany having been divided up between France, America and Russia and the purpose behind the construction of “the wall”
Very well put. Bernie should listen to some of the old Fidel Castro speeches in which he blames the evils in Cuba on greedy Capitalists and the corrupt banking system. Sounds like Bernie’s rhetoric.
On MSNBC, the Communist tv station, Bernie said there are lots of guns in Vermont because there is a lot of gaming & hunting there. He also wants to take away people’s handguns but keep all the firearms he admits that he owns.
what a hypocrite. He needs a hammer & cycle on his campaign posters. The kids who support him that attend college must be going to get stupid not smarter. Obviously they never read about the Communist Revolution in Cuba. how very sad!
SANDERS WON’T GO AFTER HILLARY BUT GO AFTER VOTERS HOW RETARDED
every gunowner will vote anti-democrat. Between President Owebunhole, Hellary and now bewildered Bernie the Republicans are nealy guaranteed the Repulicans will win in 2016. Every gunowner whether Democrap or republican will wote against whoever gewts the dem nomination. Good ridance.
What a bullshit article. He isn’t coming for your handguns. Nobody should have a gun who has a criminal background, who’s involved in domestic abuse situations. People should not have guns who are going to hurt other people, who are unstable make sure that certain types of guns used to kill people, exclusively , not for hunting, they should not be sold in the United States of America. Responsible ownership should be the first thing on everyones mind. Really isn’t that much to ask for.
So a shotgun with birdshot is the only sensible gun allowed in leftyland?
or, double 00 buck
Helen: All the things you mentioned, are already illegal. Federal & most State gun laws make what you mentioned, illegal. The problem is criminals don’t obey the law & prosecutors frequently fail to do their job.
Nitwit’s keep claiming we need more gun laws, if you read the thousands we already have, there is no need for more. Just need to enforce the one’s already in place.
What a dimwit! A gun is a gun, all guns kill whether it’s animal or human. It’s the one behind the gun that does the killing or behind a knife or behind the wheel of a car, truck, bus or airplane. If people want you dead there will always be a way. Hell I got a killer bumper on my car even. Use common sense, it isn’t always guns that kill!
I have a killer Chihuahua, snake and a killer spoon.
Get the Hell out of my country and move to Iran and become a slave to a Muslim man.
Crawl back under your rock filthy POS communist jew dirtbag.
Hey anti Jew Boy Im a non practicing Jew Trump Supporter that Carrys and has many Guns and ammo Dont get pissed at Bernie cause hes a Misguided Jew but hate Him for being a Idiot and, Im embarassed hes a Jew Of all peeps he should know what happened when Hitler took away guns from all but the Military….hes a Complete Fool ( of course Hill a Christian is just as Bad if not worse…
U WILL GET LEAD FIRST IDIOT !!!
Don’t even know what to say , just remember communist murder Tens of Millions of people and it always started with gun control.
Sanders is there to protect Hillary , watch out! Trump 2016 !!
Bye Bye, Bernie. I think after the election we ship old Bernie back to Mother Russia. He need’s to be stripped of his citizenship
and sent packing. You and that criminal Hillary are in for a big surprise after the election. Hillary will finally face the music and pay for her crimes against the United States. Me? I am going make the popcorn and sit back and watch. Mr. Trump stated in an interview that the facts will be gathered and the due process will begin.
If I were you Hillary, I would sneak off into the night and get as far away as possible. you don’t have a chance in winning the election. The only reason you got as far as you did, was by placing Bernie in there as your sacrificial puppet.
To the supporters of Bernie. you my friends have been duped.
They keep threatening a brokered election, tho. I hope there aren’t enough crooks and communist/socialist billionaires who want to ruin America, that they can win against Trump. I am praying for a good outcome. Go! Trump!
Bernie is doing what he’s told. Hillary didn’t want to look too much like a dictator, so they needed Bernie to make it look fair. This election was decided behind closed doors a long time ago, sadly.
You take away the 2nd Amendment the rest will fall that is why the 2nd is there so now he wants to drag us down the communist road that we know don’t work why is when you see that it don’t work why continue to push the crap down our throats. Being that there are over 80 million gun owners in this country that say they have guns that is. So don’t you think when they hear that they will for sure go vote against him.
Want my guns get rid of your bodyguards guns then we can talk. And that talk is your an idiot.
Sanders coming for my gun, guess I’ll vote for the donald
Bernie, Bernie, Bernie. Commie Bernie, you really are just an overly emotional, educated idiot aren’t you? You really don’t have a hope in hell of being president, and that goes for the Hilda-Beast too. Left-Wit media would have us believe that you two loony tunes are doing just great, when the truth is that you two are fighting over the same 20% of left-wits who simply vacillate back and forth between you two. The remaining 80% who classify themselves as Democrats really want nothing to do with either one of you, and for-sure left-wit media will tell us other wise.
So, Bernie, you are going to come for our guns are you? Not in this life-time boozy, perhaps if you believe in reincarnation, you might want to try again in another life. Maybe you might even be president in dream-land, but not here.
I JUST IGNORE WHAT BERNIE SAYS, BECAUSE HE IS NOT GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE. IF HILLARY BECOMES THE NOMINEE, SHE WILL LOOSE, WHETHER IT’S TRUMP, CRUZ OR RUBIO WHO RUN AGAINST HER. NO ONE, IN THEIR RIGHT MIND IS GOING TO VOTE HILLARY. IF FOR SOME UNCANNY OUTCOME, SHOULD SHE WIN, GOD FORBID, WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE A REVOLUTION IN THIS COUNTRY. WE ARE NOT READY FOR ANOTHER 4-8 YEARS OF DESTRUCTION TO OUR COUNTRY. SO BEFORE YOU VOTE, THINK HARD ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND WHO YOU ARE ENDORSING.
>>NO ONE, IN THEIR RIGHT MIND IS GOING TO VOTE HILLARY<<
Unfortunately there is a numerous quantity of that genre in this country… now, excuse me, I have to projectile puke.
In the United Kingdom ( Britain to the old fashioned people) we have no need of guns. Even our police very rarely are armed and need them- why? because they know that the majority of criminals will not be armed. Being found with dangerous weapons, guns, knives, etc. can lead to prison sentences, so ALL OUR PEOPLE are safer, every day of the year.
Allowing so many guns in the U S leads to the regular mass murders, in schools etc by unbalanced individuals.
It is also clear that the whole idea of using armed force so readily has caused the 50+ murderous wars around the world instigated by the U S. Where has there been ANY benefit to anyone in the U S or these many countries with their innocent civilians, who, if not killed, may be maimed for life with no one to assist them.
Mike, you stupid jerk from UK. I hate UK. It’s on my blacklist of countries to move to. Give up your cars then, they kill people. You don’t need them. Take the bus only. We’ll give up ours guns when you get rid of all your cars.
We need a constitiutional amendment to keep unstable people off the Presidential Ballot. That would take care of Bernie and Hillary.
Yea sure Bernie you socialist scum! You can come and take it as soon as my ammo runs out. That ‘s not likely to happen at all!!!
“Yeah Charlie! (Todd) Yeah!” (Young Guns) You’re neighbors will fight with you also.
I used to think (before this) that between him and Hitlery, Bernie could be the “lesser-of-two-evils”, but after he made this obviously imbecilic comment I am convinced he is the “evil-of-the-two-lessers” .
Why do Jews always want your guns?? From Doomberg to Sanders to Feinstien???
Haven’t they learned from WW2 what happens when you are disarmed??? It’s so funny the Nazi’s gassed them to make them laugh except they didn’t need laughing gas.
The scary part of it is, not all of his followers are parasites. I happen to know a few who have well paying, secure jobs with the government ! Bernie the Bolshevik has many young college grads on his side. Probably hoping to get their student loans either reduced or totally done away with. They would soon learn being producers , they would be overwhelmed with taxes supporting the takers.
Over your dead body , Sanders…
There would be blood in the streets, Bernie, for that would set off a Civil War the likes of which this country has never seen. Thankfully, you just torpedoed your own campaign for making such a treasonous, anti-American admission.
Bernie is a socialist. Socialist countries realize it is very hard to control an armed populace. This is why nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, communist China, Canbodia, Venezuela,CUBA, made sure all citizens were unarmed. The very few that remained armed were killed straight away. They say it’s for our own safety……when in fact it is for their’s. Our country is inundated with these people and unfortunately they have gotten into our education system which no longer teaches these things and why so many young do not understand the inherent dangers of socialism. Bernie is a bum. Or at least he was for the first 40 yrs. of his life. He has never had a real job other than politics. He had to rely on the charity of others because he was about as useless as tits on a boar. Who in their right mind would want this SOB to be president.
It is true. He wants to get your hand guns. See the interview here.

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government”
— Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
This includes OURS!
Son of the bitch. You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands. F—ing commie bastard. Actually my family member or neighbor will get it from my body first to carry on the fight. This is for freedom!
Hey Bernie, suck on this you bitch-ass Trick!
Nan Pelosi and this idiot would make a good couple. They could take up residence at the local Mental Institution along with Harry Reid and the rest of the DEM-wit class.
Its amazing how all these idiots will not hesitate to say they will come to confiscate the guns from 120 million gun owners or have them detained or arrested or enforce the IRS laws on us all but then feign the impossible task of deporting 12 million illegal aliens. Hypocrites and globalists commies all !
Hey Bernie…. you communist dick head. pack your bags and go south to CUBA and kiss Fido and his fag brother Raul`s ass.
When guns are outlawed by an old fart like you, I WILL BECOME AN OUTLAW. The constitution allows the right to bear ARMS and i will be god damned if you will outlaw guns.
P.S
Too much BLOOD has been shed and too many of America’s children have died defending the Right to Bear Arms for all of us to allow a decrepit Old fart like you to strip the right to bear arms from us.
And please do not use that bull that guns kill people. People are the one’s that kill people.
My fellow Americans, lets band together to stop this stupid crazy old fart from his idea.
P.PS
You might as well take our knives and Machetes too. They can also be used to kill people. Oh, by the way, make sure that there are no rocks laying around too because, anyone can pick one up and throw it at any person’s head too. OH, so then, I guess you will be coming after our neighborhood rocks too. Bernie, Bernie you have got to be kidding. Maybe you should take a very long walk of a very short dried out pier and land your head on a rock.
WHEN A COUNTRY BANS GUNS, THAT COUNTRY IS NO LONGER ANY GOOD TO LIVE IN ANYMORE. TIME TO SUCCEED.
