Bernie Sanders flips on crucial gun control position days ahead of the first Democratic debate
Sanders now says he's willing to reconsider holding gun manufacturers liable for gun deaths
snip-----------------
This week, it is Bernie Sanderss reconsideration of his longstanding opposition to holding gun manufacturers liable for gun deaths in the wake of a rash of school shootings.
Sanders cited two shootings Friday at universities in Arizona and Texas as well as last weeks slayings at an Oregon community college when he told NBCs Chuck Todd during a Meet the Press interview on Sunday that hed take another look at his past position. In 2005, Sanders supported legislation protecting gun manufacturers from civil liability lawsuits.
That was a complicated vote and Im willing to see changes in that provision, Sanders said. Heres the reason I voted the way I voted: If you are a gun shop owner in Vermont and you sell somebody a gun and that person flips out and then kills somebody, I dont think its really fair to hold that person responsible, the gun shop owner.
On the other hand, where there is a problem, is there is evidence that manufacturers, gun manufacturers, do know that theyre selling a whole lot of guns in an area that really should not be buying that many guns, that many of those guns are going to other areas, probably for criminal purposes? he asked. So, can we take another look at that liability issue? Yes.
