The gun argument doesn't hold up at all. Yes, Venezuela basically banned guns for private citizens, but Scandinavian countries aren't the spitting image of gun freedom. They strictly regulate who can own guns, and what kind of guns they can own. Also, American Socialists propose gun control more similar to that in Nordic countries than in Venezuela (though the difference is minuscule).

I feel like it would be better without that argument. Also, I wish she would have mentioned Bernie's opinions on countries like Cuba and Venezuela instead of just his trip to the USSR. That's more of a nitpick, though.

Thanks sproketboy, almost forgot socialist "bad" capitalist "good. I appreciate the constant repetitive simplistic reminders. Also there is absolutely nothing dodgy about praugerU.

Hey then why not use some critical thinking to criticize their arguments. On noes! You can't because your $60,000 student loan in Critical Theory didn't actually teach you critical thinking. So sad.

You've failed to making a coherent argument.... Just a load of crap assumptions. Cheer up and read a book from time to time.
