Bernie and the "gun" thing

[BernieforPres2016]

12. This issue is beyond stupid, but Hillary made it clear this morning she will pursue it

This gun liability issue came up in a debate and Bernie repeated his answer 2 or 3 times to make sure it was absolutely clear. He said if the gun was purchased legally and was not defective, no, the family of a victim of gun violence should not be able to sue the gun manufacturer or retailer. He said if people want to ban guns, fine, that's a different issue.

When you could sue a gun manufacturer or retailer, as Bernie has noted, is if gun safety locks didn't work properly. Or if the gun was intentionally manufactured to be easy to convert into an automatic weapon. Or if a manufacturer or retailer was selling guns into a channel that they could have or should have known was designed to facilitate illegal purchases.

So Hillary was basically suggesting this morning that Bernie is standing with gun manufacturers against the victims of Sandy Hook. That is about as cheap a demagogic stunt as you could ever pull, but in line with Hillary's character. If that is her belief, why isn't she calling for a complete ban on gun manufacturing and sales in the U.S.? Let her campaign on that in Pennsylvania.
