Will Sarah Silverman's comment towards 'Bernie or Bust' people have any effect on the unity of the Democratic party?

Aright, let's talk about that. Hillary doesn't want to take away anyone's guns. They said the same thing about Obama who had a Democrat majority in both chambers of Congress when he was elected, and did nothing to take away our guns. It wasn't until the mass shootings started happening that he made attempts to expand background checks (which 90% of Americans agree with) and introduce harsher penalties for gun-traffickers. That's nothing like getting rid of the 2nd amendment.

The closest thing Hillary supports to that is a ban on the manufacturing and sale of assault weapons (though you can still keep yours if you bought them before). And we had this ban before, for a decade from 1994 to 2004. No guns were taken from people, just assault weapons were no longer made, everything else was allowed just fine. And assault weapons... they're only good for killing people and having them as a patriotic hobby. They're terrible for hunting (they badly destroy a lot of the meat) and you don't need a AK-47 to propery defend yoursef. Unless we have a violent revolution (and that won't happen as long as we can vote out stupid leaders) we really don't need them.
