Andrew Yang pulls out a shotgun

Yang is a nut, but the DNC trying to hide him is pure comedy gold...

Yang is the type of policy wonk the left needs. He should be a part of the conversation just to drive some decent ideas into the currently barren landscape of the Dems current platform of "Not Trump". I look forward to him being sacrificed and discarded on the monument to social justice value signalling instead.

I follow @pat_hm on twitter and he's a Yang guy
He does have ideas - some good some not so much but it is a welcome change from the deranged idiots we have here -

Tier 3 is unspecific, what are "advanced" weapons if not already covered under the NFA? Overall I just think he's full of shit on this privacy stuff, while then also making this area of civil rights exercise subject to federal inspection of personal property.GreenRiverGatorz said:

Talks a strong game in privacy, data collection, etc in other areas. Not so much with lawful exercise of 2A.
And this:
Be grandfathered in with their current license, and for the 1-year requirement if they decide to apply for a Tier 2 license
There are no federal licenses "basic hunting rifles & handguns," nor even the scary semiauto guns, thus no current licenses to honor. This also seems to leave open confiscation of existing, legally owned firearms.
Receive a one-time “Good Gun Owner” tax credit for adhering to the additional requirements implemented by the new system
Fuck off, that's just insulting. The vast, vasty majority are, and we! don't need your gold sticker.
Be allowed to register any currently unregistered firearm without facing any penalties.
Uh, thanks? Again, this doesn't seem to demonstrate an understanding of how things currently work at the federal level.
I don't think firearms rights and control are a major issue for his campaign, because there doesn't appear to be much understanding of the legal and constitutional realities as they currently exist, e.g., "think a CDL vs. a regular driver’s license."
I get the interest with Yang, particularly from the personality standpoint. Not prone to hysterics, measured, etc. The more I look at what he's proposing, beyond the UBI thing, it's a weird mix of technocratic management with an equal fear of technology.
Oh and this:

Your photographic memory and recall of old threads is sort of scary. Are you a Terminator?GrundleStiltzkin said:

Obama talked TUFF on guns to and literally did nothing. Gun control is not gonna happen. The amount of political capital it would take to fight that fight would be insane. And potentially end in total failure. 2A has bipartisan support.
Besides, his main issue is the economy. I doubt gun legislation is even in his top 25 policy wish list. -
2A shouldn't be the primary issue to vote on. No one's coming for your guns and you can't find me 38 state legislatures ready to amend the Constitution. American's love their guns and they are here to stay.GrundleStiltzkin said:Sorry Yang.

So what you're saying is, Yang's policy statements aren't to be trusted at face value.ThomasFremont said:Obama talked TUFF on guns to and literally did nothing. Gun control is not gonna happen.
