Neo-liberals are trying to blame Bernie Sanders for the Parkland shooting

In the wake of the latest mass shooting in America many people are rightly calling for some common sense gun control to help prevent the next one. However, some of the insane Hillary Clinton cool-aide drinkers have come out of the woodwork to assert that Bernie Sanders, yes the Bernie Sanders, is somehow responsible for the mass shooting because in 2005 a bill that was introduced to congress would allow victims of gun violence to sue gun manufactures, and Bernie voted against it. Now I think that gun manufacturers and distributors should be held liable if they fail to thoroughly vet a person before selling them a gun, but I do not believe that a gun manufacturer should be sued if they did all they could do to make sure the buyer was ok to purchase a weapon. In a smear piece from Mother Jones they blast Bernie for this but fail to mention how for the past several years h has called for an ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN a ban on high cap. magazines, a ban on bump stocks,a universal background check system, and a grade of D- from the NRA. Doesn't sound very pro gun to me, so why does Mother Jones not give you this very important context? Because they are smear merchants that will unfairly attack anyone that challenges the democratic establishment. The Twitter comments were even more insane. Harvard professor and author Lawrence Tribe tweeting that,"Given Sanders shabby answer in the primaries on why he took that terrible pro-gun-industry position, He owes the families of the murdered Florida children a really convincing answer to that question-and owes it right now." It amazes me that someone this stupid is even allowed to set foot in Harvard, he really thinks that Bernie who is extremely anti-gun is responsible for the Florida massacre. These morons don't seem to understand how their dumb ass logic can be instantly be turned back on them for instance, Hillary voted for the Iraq war, which killed a minimum 200,000 civilians and set up a world wide torture regime does she owe an apology for that? or how about when she was secretary of state and how she was on board with toppling the government in Libya, which is now a failed state and a haven for terrorist and has currently seen the rise of a fucking slave trade going on in the country, does she owe an apology for that? When people like Lawrence Tribe get asked that all I ever hear is fucking crickets from them, and thats because they are Democratic party hacks who don't give a shit about being objective.
