Re: 2016 Election
This hits on the essence of the 'common sense' discussion of guns. If it's ok to require a car owner to take a test and maintain a license, and insurance, why not the same for gun owners. Having gun owners demonstrate that they know how to safely store and handle a gun would definitely save some lives (2 year olds who pick up guns from their mothers or in the home and shoot them!).

You do not need a license to own a car
You do not need insurance to own a car
Otherwise spot on.

Re: 2016 Election
Yes, I can OWN a car and put it in the garage and not maintain a license or insurance. But if I want to OPERATE a car on public roads, then all the above apply. I guess you could further split hairs and say I don't need insurance; I know that some states allow a declaration of financial responsibility to take the place of insurance. But really, the point is simple and I think you know what that is.

Like a politician, you are splitting hairs.

Actually there are other exemptions, Backhoe for example, well in my State anyway.

Re: 2016 Election
I have come to the conclusion that you lack any degree of common sense. I had a more severe comment in mind but decided to be more generous.

Re: 2016 Election
Couple of thoughts.
I thought the gun conversation was riveting and they both dug in.
This is the most I've seen Clinton pressed so much on Bill's record from the 90s - both from Sanders and the moderators/questioners. I'm not convinced that's actually fair but I'm surprised it's taken this long.

Re: 2016 Election
Maybe in general, but that's not what happened in the debate. Clinton only resorted to talking about the 90's when she was confronted with her husband's actions:- "If we're going to talk about the '90's, then we have to look at the positives as well...".
