Hillary Clinton Says Bernie Sanders 'Not At All' Tough Enough on Guns

Hillary Clinton took on Sen. Bernie Sanders for his stance on guns at the first Democratic presidential debate Tuesday, saying he was "not at all" tough on guns.

The debate’s moderator, Anderson Cooper, asked Clinton if the Vermont senator was tough enough on guns.

“No, not at all,” Clinton responded -– coming out of the gate strong on one of the only issues where she is considered to the left of Sanders.

“Senator Sanders did vote five times against the Brady Bill,” she continued. She also said he voted for a bill that helped protect the gun industry, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

“He also did vote as he said for this immunity provision. I voted against it," Clinton said. "I was in the senate at the same time. It wasn't that complicated to me. It was pretty straightforward to me that he was going to give immunity to the only industry in America.”
