First, Sanders believes in a middle-ground solution.

He believes magazines holding more than 10 bullets should be banned nationwide. Second, with new voters who are energized Sanders sup- porters, communities through- out the nation might elect lead- ers who are less obligated to powerful monied interests. In Lane County, it could result in enforcement of sensible gun control measures. Last year I met for an hour with one of the four Lane County Commissioners who signed Order and Resolution 15-06-02-05, which sends the PHVVDJHRXURI¿FLDOVZRXOGQRW work to enforce Oregon Senate Bill 941, closing the gun sale background check loophole. The commissioner assured me he would respond, but I’ve yet to receive a response from him, even after I sent him an email reminder. Sanders is the best candi- date to lead the effort for sensi- ble gun control measures at the national and local levels because of his middle-of-the road posi- tion and because of his support- ing electorate.
