Hillary Clinton’s claim that Bernie Sanders voted for the ‘Charleston loophole’
......

The Pinocchio Test

The vote in question took place almost a quarter-century ago, but there is a relatively straight line from the 1993 vote to the 2015 shooting.

While Sanders did not specifically vote for a three-day period, he did vote for an even shorter one-day window. As a result of the amendment he supported in the House, the seven-day window was erased and the period for background checks emerged from House-Senate negotiations as just three days.

Then Sanders ended up voting against requiring any background checks at all. 

Clinton earns an elusive Geppetto Checkmark.
