I agree with his response, as stated. Gun manufacturers are offering a legal product.

It's up to people to change the law/constitution. I hope they do. That's the way to prevent new Sandy Hooks. The original one cannot be cured by litigation.

"“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,” he said. “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.”

Sanders said he would not call the Sandy Hook lawsuit “baseless” but pivoted to the importance of a ban on assault weapons.

“It’s not baseless,” Sanders said. “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.”"

Bernie Sanders gets slammed over Sandy Hook gun lawsuit comments
BY ERIN DURKIN, LEONARD GREENE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Wednesday, April 6, 2016, 12:49 AM

in part:
Presidential populist Bernie Sanders came under blistering fire Tuesday for opposing efforts by families of Sandy Hook shooting victims to sue gun manufacturers.

Sanders, in an exclusive interview with the Daily News last week, said, “No, I don’t,” when asked if victims of a crime with a gun should be able to sue the manufacturer.

His Democratic rival and her Connecticut supporters took aim at the upstart, saying the Vermont senator was out of touch on the issue after the full transcript of his remarks were released Tuesday.
