......The Clinton campaign has been pushing the same line of attack in several recent events in Massachusetts, which holds its presidential primary on Tuesday.

Hours before Sanders was scheduled to campaign in Amherst on Monday, the Clinton campaign got Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse and Hampden County Sheriff Michael Ashe to hold an event in Springfield slamming Sanders' record on gun legislation.

Also Monday, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey participated in a Clinton campaign conference call with Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy attacking Sanders' gun record. During that call, Healey said Sanders "hasn't shown any interest in holding gun dealers and manufacturers responsible" for gun violence and has not released a plan for addressing gun violence.

Malloy also plans to campaign for Clinton on Thursday at the Student Prince Cafe in Springfield, where he is again expected to criticize Sanders' record on gun leg islation.

Should "gun dealers and manufacturers" be held responsible for criminal misuse of their legally produced and sold product? The argument that a gun manufacturer is somehow responsible simply baffles me. Talk about deflecting blame from the perpetrator.

"Sanders "hasn't shown any interest in holding gun dealers and manufacturers responsible" for gun violence ..."

My what a flip flop from 2008.

Talk about weathervane politics!

His gun record is a disgrace.

and still collects money from the largest gun retailer in America.

Worked well?

Worth noting in light of Alice Walton's $353,000 donation to the Hillary Victory Fund (to say nothing of Hillary's tenure on their board) that Walmart remains America's largest purveyor of guns. But hey, nothing to see there.

Families of Newtown victims sue maker and seller of rifle

HARTFORD, Conn. -- The families of nine of the 26 people killed and a teacher wounded two years ago at the Sandy Hook Elementary School filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor and seller of the rifle used in the shooting.

The negligence and wrongful death lawsuit, filed in Bridgeport Superior Court and released on Monday, asserts that the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle should not have been sold publicly because it was designed for military use and is unsuited for hunting or home defense.

"In order to continue profiting from the sale of AR-15s, defendants chose to disregard the unreasonable risks the rifle posed outside of specialized, highly regulated institutions like the armed forces and law enforcement," the plaintiffs wrote in the complaint.

In 2005, Congress and President George W. Bush approved a federal law that shielded gun makers from lawsuits over criminal use of their products, with some exemptions.

So many more here would support the rights of these families to be heard in court if there wasn't a name that goes with the last paragraph I shared.
