Bernie Sanders Doubles Down On Support for Law That Protects Gun Sellers From Lawsuits

[Fawke Em]

111. I live in a rural state.

I don't own a gun and think, like Bernie Sanders, that there should be regulation, but to sue gun manufacturers for producing a gun that works is kind of odd.

Just so you know: I was trained to shoot weapons by the state law enforcement academy (no, I was never a police officer. I was doing a story on it as a reporter and learned what the cops learn) and my husband was in the Army. Of all people, we'd be able to responsibly own weapons, but, because we live in a city and have four dogs, we don't need to. We also don't hunt.

However, I have family members who hunt and hunt responsibly.

What Bernie says makes sense to me as a person who lives in a rural state.

He's for background checks. He's for other measures to keep weapons out of the hands of people who shouldn't own them.

Because he's not for suing gun manufacturers who make a product that's sole purpose is to kill is, well, not something I think would be effective.

Abortions kill cells that have the potential to be humans, too, but I'm pro-choice, so I'm consistent on this issue.

You have to think long-term.
