Specifically here's ill informed explanation of his frame on use of "urban"; he also used this line in his speech to Urban league. The fact that he's still saying it suggests he just doesn't get it. Sanders tends to present guns as an urban problem that Vermonters can afford not to worry about, though mass shootings can happen anywhere and suicides by gun are as much a problem in Vermont as they are in other states. He told me, “I’m proud of my state, and I think I’m in a good position to try to bridge the gap between urban America—where guns mean one thing, where guns mean guns in the hands of kids who are shooting each other or shooting at police officers—and rural America, where significant majorities of people are gun owners, and ninety-nine per cent of them are lawful.” [Cartoon]“Instead of ‘It sucks’ you could say, ‘It doesn’t speak to me.’”JULY 9, 2001BUY THE PRINT »<http://www.condenaststore.com/-st/New-Yorker-Current-Issue-Prints_c148582_.htm> When Sanders first ran for the House of Representatives, in 1988, he lost to a Republican named Peter Smith, the scion of a banking family. During Smith’s first term, he co-sponsored an assault-rifle ban. In 1990, Sanders ran again, and the N.R.A. went after Smith, sending letters to its Vermont members describing Sanders as the lesser of two evils, since he wasn’t publicly supporting the ban. Sanders won. This is the origin of the critique that Sanders has weak gun-control credentials for a progressive. Vermont is a gun-friendly state: twenty-eight per cent of its residents own firearms, according to a recent survey, and it has some of the nation’s most permissive gun laws. In national office, Sanders has not been a vocal proponent of strict gun control. In 1993, he voted against the Brady Bill, objecting to its imposition of a five-day waiting period to buy a handgun. And in 2009 he voted to allow guns in national parks and on Amtrak trains. Over the years, he has also voted for some restrictions, including a semi-automatic-assault-weapons ban and instant criminal-background checks. The N.R.A. has given him grades ranging from C- to F. (It’s a tough grader.) But he has never been out front on the issue, partly because it doesn’t seem to engage him deeply, and partly because he wants to retain the loyalty of voters in northeast Vermont, where hunting is popular. Sanders tends to present guns as an urban problem that Vermonters can afford not to worry about, though mass shootings can happen anywhere and suicides by gun are as much a problem in Vermont as they are in other states. He told me, “I’m proud of my state, and I think I’m in a good position to try to bridge the gap between urban America—where guns mean one thing, where guns mean guns in the hands of kids who are shooting each other or shooting at police officers—and rural America, where significant majorities of people are gun owners, and ninety-nine per cent of them are lawful.” Sent from my iPhone On Oct 15, 2015, at 9:56 AM, Dan Schwerin <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Here's where we've landed: I'm running for president to protect our families and communities from the plague of gun violence.

Here are the two bites: Guns: "I'm running for president to protect our families and communities from the plague of gun violence.

And we're going to vote. President Obama is right. Stopping gun violence has to be a voting issue. For moms and dads. For brothers and sisters. For everyone. That's how we're going to win this fight." Immigration: Comprehensive immigration reform is a family imperative and a moral imperative -- but its also an economic imperative. There are some in both parties who say that immigration kills American jobs and lowers wages. That's just dead wrong. Bringing millions of hardworking people into the formal economy will actually do the opposite -- it will boost wages, create jobs, grow the economy, and save taxpayers money. Unscrupulous bosses won't be able to exploit undocumented workers or steal their wages. And economists say our gross domestic product could increase by as much as $700 billion over 10 years. So as President, I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform with a real path to citizenship for families across our country. I will defend President Obama’s executive actions and stand up against any attempt to expose DREAMers to deportation. And, if Congress continues to refuse to act, I would do everything possible under the law to go even further. There are more people with deep ties and contributions to our communities – like many parents of DREAMers – who deserve a chance to stay. I will fight for them too. -- Kristina Schake | Communications Hillary for America [http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/blogs/the_slatest/2015/04/12/hillary%20logo.jpg.CROP.promovar-mediumlarge.jpg] -- Betsaida Alcantara | Communications Hillary for America [http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/blogs/the_slatest/2015/04/12/hillary%20logo.jpg.CROP.promovar-mediumlarge.jpg]
