Back in the 1970s when I was in the minority opposing gun control, it was to insure that law abiding Americans would be entitled to keep pistols in their homes or businesses to defend themselves, and could keep rifles and shotguns to engage in lawful hunting on their own property. It was never my intent to allow individuals to carry loaded automatic weapons down our streets or in our parks, or to permit individuals who obtain concealed weapons permits from low qualification states to carry those weapons in all other states. I grew up around guns. They never became a religion for me like they have for some of you on the right. So I have no problem with a candidate who wants to impose reasonable restrictions on gun ownership or use.
I would not back Tulsi Gabbard in the 2020 Democratic nomination. She may develop into a great potential presidential candidate in time, but she isn't there yet. She would make a good candidate for the VP though.
Bernie Sanders? DAJAX I can only assume you are making that choice because you think he would be the most beatable Democrat. I know many people who voted for Bernie in 2016. It had little to do with supporting Bernie's agenda and was more about opposing Hillary.
In 2016 my preferred candidate was Webb, and he dropped out early. My preferred candidate in 2020 was also an early drop out. Of those left on the Virginia ballot there are a couple I could vote for, but it will mean overlooking some positions I don't agree with.
