In reply to the discussion: Hillary is part of fundamentalist "The Family"; Bernie gives talk at fundamentalist college [View all]SunSeeker
(58,269 posts)I am not lying about what you said. You said that Bernie "talked about gun violence and racism after Charleston." You lied. He only blamed Charleston on racism, which is all he says in that TPM article. He did not respond to the Charleston shootings by also decrying gun violence, like Hillary did.
Then later, in July, when his votes against the Brady Bill and for the PLCAA made news, he made those revolting comments to Jake Tapper. Again, he was not discussing that in connection with Charleston. He was dishonestly defending his pro-gun votes rather than speaking out against gun violence.
And no, you did not explain why "banning makes more sense than trying to sue." You just defended these sort of weapons as not being defective, thus people should not be able to sue over them and "bankrupt an entire industry." Those are bullshit NRA talking points, not an explanation.
