Sanders: I’m Willing to ‘Take Another Look’ at Bill Letting Gun Makers Be Sued

STEPHANOPOULOS: “It’s clear the debate is going to be joined on many issues. But just to be clear on this issue, you can’t say today that you would vote for that 2005 legislation, you’d vote for some revisions on the manufacturers, but you’re not prepared to say that the vote you made back in 2005 was wrong?”
SANDERS: “Look, I’ve cast over 10,000 votes in my life and many pieces of legislation are complicated. They have good stuff in it. They have bad stuff in it. I am absolutely willing to take another look at that legislation and get rid of the onerous provisions. When gun manufacturers, for example, are selling guns into an area and know that those guns are gg into the hands of criminals, absolutely, those gun manufacturers should be held accountable.”
STEPHANOPOULOS: “Finally, do you have any problem with what Sean Penn did with ‘El Chapo,’ that interview in ‘Rolling Stone?’”
SANDERS: “I haven’t really thought about it much. I’ve been kind of running around Iowa. I saw just — I read a little bit about it. So I have nothing much profound to say about it, except that I’m glad this, you know, this drug cartel leader has been caught. People like him have done incredible harm to people in our country and to his own country.”
STEPHANOPOULOS: “Senator Sanders, thanks very much for your time this morning.”
