4. The article clip makes the poster look duplicitious

Chris Cox, the head of the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, played a clip of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders defending his support for a 2005 law preventing lawsuits against gun companies when their materials are used by criminals. According to a report in the Guardian, Cox said to chuckles, "I don't say this often ... OK, fine, I've never said it. But Bernie's right."

The article would not come up so I'm only going on the clip posted, but the poster did make a conscious decision to clip that part of the article.

One official from the NRA agrees with a Sander's position somehow turns into a "NRA supports Sanders" subject.

And if you actually pay attention to Cox's statement "...I don't say this often...OK fine, I've never said it. But Bernie's right" it sounds like he is grudgingly saying it because he HAS NEVER BEFORE agreed with Sanders.

With aim like this no wonder the poster is against guns.
