The day before then-Vermont Representative Bernie Sanders voted to grant the gun industry immunity from legal liability, he voted against doing the same for fast-food companies and opposed doing the same for half a dozen other industries during his time in the House, roll call records show.
On Oct. 20, 2005, Sanders voted againstthe Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act, also known as the"cheeseburger bill," aimed at protecting McDonald's and other fast-food restaurant chains from lawsuits filed by plaintiffs who blamed the companies for causing obesity. The next day, he voted in favor of protecting gun manufacturers and sellers from lawsuits.

So bernie flip flops on his gun stance the same way he flip flopped on dumping toxic radioactive VT waste on Latino minorities in TX, only to dash off asap to campaign against the Toxic leaded water of Flint.
Same way he criticizes Clinton for her Iraq war vote, only to find out he welcomed to VT the MIC F35 Wall Street big money maker/big money waster.
Seems Sander's public grandstanding is much the opposite when one actually looks at his dismal Congressional record.
Flippin & floppin depending on the meme of the day.
Sanders is really just your typical career establishment politician in the end.
Buyer Beware
