Hillary Clinton is apparently getting desperate, as after seeming to exhaust all other options, shes returning to the original line of attack against Bernie Sanders: gun control.
She said that its going to be coming out in the very near future that many of the catastrophes that have taken human lives in the State of New York have been the product of guns coming over the border from Vermont, according to New York State Sen. Tim Kennedy. Thats the first I heard it, he remarked.
Thats probably because its not even close to true.
Out of the 7,686 firearms recovered and traced in New York in 2014, only 55 were first purchased in Vermont, according to the ATF. In 2013, that number was 61 out of 8,539. As such, Vermont accounts for less than 1% of the total guns traced in either year, despite Vermont bordering New York.
Meanwhile, 395 guns were sourced to Virginia in 2014, and 423 in 2013. The New York Times wrote an in-depth report that showed the vast majority of guns used in New York City actually come from Southern states via I-95, in a system they dubbed The Iron Pipeline.
Nevertheless, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook repeated the bogus attack on CNN.
I dont think Senator Sanders is being sincere here in New York, which is facing serious problems with guns being trafficked from Vermont and other states, he claimed.
Gov. Peter Shumlin of Vermont, an outspoken Clinton supporter and a super-delegate pledged to support her, didnt hesitate to throw her under the bus for her callous mischaracterization of his state. It is campaign season; therefore, things are sometimes said by all the candidates that sometimes arent entirely accurate, he said. He went on to note that heroin used in Vermont is primarily brought over from other states, New York in particular.

(10,622 posts)a legal product, like a car, a gun, a case of whiskey, a cigarette, an axe, a wood-chipper, a crowbar, or whatever, when someone uses the legal product to commit a crime or harm themselves with.
If the product is faulty, and causes injury to oneself for others, then yes.
Not being ignorant of he law one then realizes that the way to stop the crime is to make the product either illegal, or very restricted and regulated. Such is reality, and he holds the same stance as Obama regarding how to combat gun crime in a country that won't allow us to make them illegal like in sane countries because of that pesky (and mis-interpreted by our highest court) and it's second amendment.
Sanders: Well, I've talked about it, you have seen it. What the agenda is is very similar to where to where President Obama is. President Obama said at that Oregon speech with a great deal of emotion. That he thought this was an issue that's never going to be permanently solved. Nobody can guarantee that some lunatic is not going to pick up a gun today and kill people. But we have to do the best that we can to prevent those type of killings. And what we do, in my view, is significantly strengthen and expand the instant background check. What we do is do away with the gun show loophole, where people now are buying guns from unlicensed dealers. What we do is do away with the straw man provision, where you can buy a gun legally and then sell it to somebody who's a criminal. I think what we also is significantly expand mental health capabilities to try to address the fact that we have thousands of people walking in this country today who are suicidal and homicidal. So I support pretty much the President's agenda.
Daily News: Just to be clear, the press release your campaign put out the day of that announcement of the forthcoming comprehensive plan, you made that announcement, those were the four points you made then. Have you moved any further beyond that?
Sanders: Well, I don't know that anyone has moved...I think that's the President's vision, that's my position.
Daily News: There's a case currently waiting to be ruled on in Connecticut. The victims of the Sandy Hook massacre are looking to have the right to sue for damages the manufacturers of the weapons. Do you think that that is something that should be expanded?
Sanders: Do I think the victims of a crime with a gun should be able to sue the manufacturer, is that your question?
Daily News: Correct.
Sanders: No, I don't.
Daily News: Let me ask you. I know we're short on time. Two quick questions. Your website talks about...
Sanders: No, let me just...I'm sorry. In the same sense that if you're a gun dealer and you sell me a gun and I go out and I kill him [gestures to someone in room] . Do I think that that gun dealer should be sued for selling me a legal product that he misused? [Shakes head no.] But I do believe that gun manufacturers and gun dealers should be able to be sued when they should know that guns are going into the hands of wrong people. So if somebody walks in and says, "I'd like 10,000 rounds of ammunition," you know, well, you might be suspicious about that. So I think there are grounds for those suits, but not if you sell me a legal product. But you're really saying...
Daily News: Do you think that the discussion and debate about what defines a legal product, what should be a legal product, hence AR-15s, these automatic military-style weapons...which is the grounds of this suit at the moment is that this should have never been in the hands of the public.
Sanders: Well, you're looking at a guy...let's talk about guns for one second. Lets set the record straight because of unnamed candidates who have misrepresented my views. You're looking at a guy who has a D, what was it, D minus voting record from the NRA? Not exactly a lobbyist for the NRA, not exactly supporting them.
But it's interesting that you raised that question. If you'll remember this, if you were in Vermont in 1988 [gestures to Vermonter in the room], three people were running for the United States Congress. We have one seat, Vermont. Two of them supported assault weapons. One candidate, Bernie Sanders, said, in 1988, "No, I do not support the sale and distribution of assault weapons in this country." I lost that election by three points. Came in second. And that may have been the reason, that I was opposed by all of the gun people, okay? So to answer your question, I do not believe, I didn't believe then and I don't believe now that those guns should be sold in America. They're designed for killing people.
Daily News: So do you think then, with that in mind, that the merits of the current case are baseless?
Sanders: It's not baseless. I wouldn't use that word. But it's a backdoor way. If you're questioning me, will I vote to ban assault weapons in the United States, yeah, I will.

Dragonfli
(10,622 posts)I found the link, and see the deception and Rovian smear in a misleading headline, as well as a one liner from you.
I replied to you for context that exposes the bullshit. After finding the link myself. You, I had heard are a lawyer, you (unless you are not) should understand why the answer does not lie in suing a manufacturer for selling a legal product misused by a criminal, would not win in court, and so the answer lies either in making the product illegal (I wish we could, but the second amendment makes that a very tough hurdle), or restrict, regulate and try too severely increase the hurdle to gain ownership of said product,
Sanders want to do just that and holds the same stance as Obama, and would even completely ban assault weapons if he had his druthers.
This is nothing mote than a deliberate and calculated smear against someone that is on board with Obama on gun control and an ally against the NRA. all for bullshit political short term gains that are dishonest and quite frankly reek of Rove skeevy stench.

(37,549 posts)And I do not believe in making special laws to protect special manufacturers.
Dragonfli
(10,622 posts)and where do you get your talking points.
First, the questioners were "leading the witness" as you would call it, now you re-direct to something away from the issue at hand that does not exist.
They hold no special shield that auto manufacturers or crowbar manufacturers do not enjoy as far as I know.
You really are a lawyer IOW skilled professional liar (a broad brush I use for most lawyers especially the ones that support rapists of 12 year old girls the way Hilary enjoyed doing.)
Lawyers, save a few, have no shame or ethics, they only care about "winning" at all cost.
edited to add, I have a medical appointment, keep the Rove alive and keep on truckin with your lie based attacks!

(4,249 posts)What is being proposed is a special law to make it possible to punish manufacturers of a special product for making that legally permisable product when it is misused or used in commission of a crime. That is what Bernie Sanders opposes. BTW, I am not a member nor a sympathiser of the NRA and do not even own a gun.

(1,089 posts)to shoot itself in the foot as often as possible. It's unbelievable. It seems as though every big caper they come up with to take down SBS accomplishes the opposite of what they want. This will too. I wonder if this will lead that super delegate to reconsider the HRC support.
Does anyone else wonder if this is also how an HRC administration would work? I personally have thought that she, as she said herself, simply wasn't good at being a candidate. I'm starting to wonder if all of this would extend to her presidency.

(15,320 posts)He didn't just state they were from Vermont. He said Vermont and other states. States that have larger populations would likely import more guns. That wouldn't be surprising. But he isn't the first person who has pointed out that states that don't regulate their guns cause problems for the ones who do. That isn't a lie.
Art_from_Ark
(27,247 posts)Vermont only accounted for less than 1% of the guns seized in New York, while Southern states accounted for the lion's share. Mentioning only one state by name implies that that state is a major player, even though it obviously is not the case. It's just a lame attempt to indirectly smear Bernie.

(231 posts)With that said the guns issues for Dems is so similar to the abortion issue for Rethugs. Issues the MSM will throw up to distract the masses.
In this campaign cycle there are bigger issues.
There just are. We are are struggling here for survival against the corporatists. They want TPP and to do away with our jobs. Our middle class is about gone. They want to intervene where we don't belong. They want to initiate war. They are for fracking and destruction of our environment. These need to be the issues.
