Hillary voted against CHILD SAFETY LOCKS on guns. Bernie voted for the locks.

[Cheese Sandwich]

Seems like Hillary should have some explaining to do.

Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act of 2005

(Sec. 5) Child Safety Lock Act of 2005 - Prohibits the sale, delivery, or transfer by a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer of a handgun to any person other than a person with a firearms license unless the transferee is provided with a secure gun storage or safety device. Lists exceptions, including for U.S. and state agencies and for law enforcement. Grants immunity from a qualified civil liability action for a person who has lawful possession and control of a handgun and who uses a secure gun storage or safety device. Establishes as penalties for violations: (1) license revocation or suspension for up to six months; or (2) a civil penalty of up to $2,500.

1. Sickening

And how many gun locks has Bloomberg's "gun safety" organization provided? How about gun safety training as tbey say the are a gun safety organization. The hypocrisy

[Cheese Sandwich]

19. Hillary and her fans should at least admit the law had some good provisions

Even if they are against the immunity part of it, it seems to me they can't deny that there were some good pieces.

The picture is certainly more complicated. Not straight black and white.

[HooptieWagon]

2. The turbine-powered weather vane hadn't warmed up yet.

Now it's spinning furiously.

[pdsimdars]

3. K & R

[Jitter65]

4. Her vote was because of the immunity for the arms manufacturers. Consistent with her view to allow

people to hold them liable. She voted for safety locks in other bills.

[Cheese Sandwich]

5. Excuses excuses excuses

[rhett o rick]

6. So you are saying there were parts of the bill that she didn't like. Kinda like Sanders and the

crime bill.

[JoePhilly]

10. Kind of like with EVERY BILL that ever gets passed.

That's what happens because that's exactly how the founders structured our government.

There is almost never a perfect piece of legislation. Even if you get a few things you want, there are probably a few things in there that you didn't want.

And in every election going forward, you'll be attacked for the bad things that you accepted as you made a pragmatic decision to obtain some other things as part of the total.

[Cheese Sandwich]

13. She was for it before she was against it before she was for it?

[felix_numinous]

7. K&R

How does someone vote against this, unless they are pandering to the NRA?

[KingFlorez]

8. Clinton did right to vote against the NRA giveaway bill

Nothing wrong here.

[kgnu_fan]

9. Kick

[amborin]

11. such a hypocrite; how many kids are killed or kill others? LOTS

[Onlooker]

14. What an amazingly dishonest post

The very first paragraph of the summary states,

"Prohibits a qualified civil liability action from being brought in any state or federal court against a manufacturer or seller of a firearm, ammunition, or a component of a firearm that has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce, or against a trade association of such manufacturers or sellers, for damages, punitive damages, injunctive or declaratory relief, abatement, restitution, fines, penalties, or other relief resulting from the criminal or unlawful misuse of a firearm. Requires pending actions to be dismissed."

In other words, Hillary voted against a bill that provides special liability protection for gun manufacturers, something that Bernie supports. He believes gun manufacturers should be protected in a way other manufacturers are not.

Obviously Hillary supports gun safety, but was not going to vote for a bill that denied people like the victims of Sandy Hook some sort of recourse

15. first step toward ending the anti-gun lobby`s shameless attempts to bankrupt the firearms industry

On October 26, 2005, President Bush signed S. 397, the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act." Introduced by Sens. Larry Craig (R-ID) and Max Baucus (D-MT), this legislation is a vitally important first step toward ending the anti-gun lobby`s shameless attempts to bankrupt the American firearms industry through reckless lawsuits. Reps. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) and Rick Boucher (D-VA) introduced similar legislation, H.R. 800 in the House of Representatives.

[Cheese Sandwich]

17. It also did include child safety locks, and a ban on cop-killer armor piercing bullets

Are you denying that reality?

I don't think you are.

You're saying it was worth voting against safety locks and banning "cop-killer" bullets because of the other provisions.

[Onlooker]

23. Obama, Kennedy, Jeffords of VT, and other progressives voted the same way as Hillary ...

... The Republicans included those things so that they can fool some people into believing that Hillary (and other Democrats who are for gun control) are against child safety locks and for armor piercing bullets. But, they really didn't fool many people. You're one of them, I guess.

16. Thank you to the solid duers highlighting the deception of this op.

Yet I guarantee the op will explain away Sanders voting against a pathway to citizenship for over fifteen million people time and time again.

[Cheese Sandwich]

18. That law did include the child safety locks.

It's completely honest to say Hillary voted against it when she voted against it.

That's certainly the tactic the Hillary campaign uses to pin Bernie Sanders down on various votes.

You can say yes she made the choice to vote against safety locks because she wanted to help people sue gun sellers. It was a trade off.

It was a choice. But you can't sit there and pretend that law didn't have some good points as well.

[NCTraveler]

20. Understood. Just as Sanders voted against a pathway to citizenship multiple times. Nt

[factfinder_77]

21. Are you seriously insinuating that Hillary has not pushed to curb firearms for decades ?

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/08/29/hillary-clinton-really-is-coming-for-your-guns.html

[Cheese Sandwich]

22. She voted against "Child Safety Lock Act of 2005"

Annie Oakley?
