Bernie needs to see the light when it comes to gun control. It's our job to educate him on the facts

90. Apparently, you think bankrupting victims of gun violence is a good idea.

Seriously, you need to sit down and think about what you are arguing. Someone's daughter died in the movie theater shooting in Colorado. They filed a lawsuit like this. They lost. They now owe the manufacturers $200,000 in legal fees. On top of losing their 11-year-old daughter.

THAT is what you are supporting. Bankrupting families that are already going through horrific pain.

The reason the NRA wanted this law, is because (as everyone knows), they were afraid that the gun companies were going to lose.

Based on what? Again, can you sue Ford, and win, if a drunk driver hits you in an F150?

Just because it's a gun doesn't magically mean you can win such a lawsuit.

What they were most afraid of is lawsuits from DAs, which looked like they were gaining traction, because the gun industry, of course, does knowingly profit from putting guns in the hands of criminals.

Sorry, no. Gun manufacturers do not sell to individuals. Federal law already required them to sell to federally-licensed dealers. As a result, it is impossible for a gun manufacturer to "put guns in the hands of criminals" - only a dealer can. If you managed to find a manufacturer selling directly to the public, you've now got a very large criminal case. Not a lawsuit to be filed by a victim.

Btw, as long as those dealers followed federal and state laws, they were already shielded from liability.

But you could still file a suit against them. And lose. And then go find the next victim to exploit and bankrupt.

Another phenomenal argument. Like the fact that the entire GOP hates Clinton with a burning passion. Must mean that she is some kind of socialist peacenik, huh? Obviously!

When you claim Sanders is fighting for the NRA, their hatred of Sanders is quite relevant. It kinda demonstrates you're wrong.

No, he didn't. He voted agains the Brady Bill. You know, the first federal law to require any kind of background checks at all? Yeah, Bernie was against that. It's nuts that people are defending this.

Guess what? He voted for other universal background check bills. Golly, it's almost like he's for universal background checks, but didn't like some details of the Brady bill.

Oh sorry. Tried to actually use nuance.
