Part of Sanders "immoral economy" is-->"Remington's.... immoral marketing campaign."
We have a gun violence crisis in the US--One of reasons is "Remington's.... immoral marketing campaign." Day after day Sanders reminds folks of Hillary's Iraq vote and says it killed thousands--like she is solely responsible for all the ills of the Iraq war.
Yet Sanders whines and thinks it unfair when folks remind him of his votes to give the gun industry immunity who carry out " immoral marketing campaigns."--and make millions in the process.

Families of mass shooting victims sound off on Sanders

Family members of victims of gun violence are not through with Bernie Sanders.
At a heated press conference outside of City Hall in New York City on Friday, families of those affected by mass shootings urged the Vermont senator to apologize for his recent comments on guns, reiterating calls that some of them said were previously unanswered and dismissed.

“It is so shameful that you ignored my call for an apology and when pushed by a reporter, instead of responding to me, you attacked Hillary Clinton," Smegielski said.
Sandy Phillips, who lost her daughter Jessica Ghawi during the mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado, in July 2012, said that Sanders had treated her family disrespectfully during a phone call.
"Bernie promised to meet with us face to face," she said about Sanders, who has been campaigning in New York. "We did have a telephone conversation, he was 15 minutes late to that telephone conversation. The first thing he had the nerve to say to my husband was 'I'm very busy,’” she said. “Well Senator Sanders, we had been busy too. We had been busy burying our daughter."
“Because of Bernie Sanders and others who voted like him, I and other Sandy Hook families are waiting for justice,” said Jillian Soto, who lost her sister Victoria at Sandy Hook. “I believe Remington acted irresponsibly and should be held accountable. I deserve for a jury to determine that, not the politicians in Washington, like Bernie Sanders.”
"Remington and others designed and executed an immoral marketing campaign that specifically targets violent-prone, military-obsessed young men and the result is both predictable and deadly," she added. "Our families want the marketers, distributors, and sellers of the AR-15 held accountable for what happened at Sandy Hook. We want these profit-hungry to pay for their reckless marketing decision to stop targeting violent-prone young men as their ideal consumers."
“Senator Sanders voted twice to protect gun dealers and sellers from being held accountable when their irresponsible actions led to heinous crimes,” New York City Public Advocate Trish James said. "Bernie stands with the gun industry and Hillary stands with families and communities."

On Thursday, Sanders complained to CBS News' Charlie Rose that linking him to the Newtown massacre was unfair.
"Do I bear responsibility for the tragedy and the horrors of Sandy Hook? So, you know, let's get off of that," he said.
