25. As someone who lives very close to Sandy Hook and lived through this

Horrible tragedy with my community, I was offended she did that as well. To say Sanders thought more about the gun manufacturers than the children was beyond the pale. Lanza was responsible for the tragedy. Lanza's mother purchased all those guns legally. We need real gun reform and we need to stop assault weapons and semi assault weapons from getting into the hands of criminals and mentally ill. As long as it is legal to make guns, you cannot sue a manufacturer for producing a legal product that did not malfunction.

Turning that tragedy into a talking point for Clinton and using the horror of those children (and adults Sec. Clinton) was not a smart move.
