Stickin’ to His Guns? The NRA Helped Elect Bernie Sanders to Congress. Now He’s Telling a Different Story.
Four hours after a former city worker gunned down 12 people at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center last month, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) took to Twitter to call for gun control.
“The days of the NRA controlling Congress and writing our gun laws must end,” he wrote, referring to the National Rifle Association. “Congress must listen to the American people and pass gun safety legislation. This sickening gun violence must stop.”
In a statement to the New York Times, Sanders spokesperson Arianna Jones said he would “continue pushing for policy that reflects the urgency of this national crisis, including his three-decades-old support for an assault weapons ban.”
