Hayes: "You have also voted for some gun safety legislation and against others, you voted against the Brady bill and you voted for instant background checks, you voted against a bill that would have allowed lawsuits against gun companies.

Has your thinking on this evolved over time...have you been influenced in how you think about it in discussions with your constituents who are gun owners?"

Response of Sanders?

Non-responsive.

My guess is he did so to get into Congress, with the help of the NRA who spent money on negative ads against his opponent.
