Clinton and O'Malley directly attack Sanders' record on gun control. Crickets.

Sanders contrasts his consistent voting record and policy stances with the ever evolving records and stances of unnamed others.

"Oh my God! Sanders is on the scorched earth warpath!"

Nobody so much as batted an eye.

Sanders indirectly contrasted his long, consistent voting record and policy stances with those of Clinton. Clinton's minions howled, "VICIOUS ATTACK!"

There are at least 6 exceptions on the bill to prevent SLAAP suits on gun manufacturers and retailers. As proof, a retailer has just had a judgment levied against them and Remington was sued for a product defect and recalled the affected firearms.

“You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught me how to shoot when I was a little girl,” she said.

“You know, some people now continue to teach their children and their grandchildren. It’s part of culture. It’s part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it’s an important part of who they are. Not because they are bitter.”


Clinton touted her husband's record on gun control during his administration, and said "there is not a contradiction between protecting Second Amendment rights" and the effort to reduce crime.

No one is stopping you
I'm expecting the people who want to be president are going to fight for the job.
As far as their records, its fair game. All 3 of them have a public record of their positions.

Bernie voted for HR Res 64, Afghanistan, Somalia, Kosovo, numerous sanctions, money for every war, says he supports keeping troops in Mid East, and will continue drones.
