The Protection Of Lawful Commerce In Arms Act - The Gun Vote Hillary Is Using Against Bernie....
After doing some research on this I was able to find the following about how both Senate & House Members voted on this.
Bernie (I) was in the House at the time and voted yes on this bill. Hillary (D) was in the Senate and voted no.
The interesting thing though is to look at the other Dems both in the House and Senate that also voted yes on this bill - just like Bernie. Many of them are not in Congress any more - but there are some notable names on the list and you can check for yourself at the links below.
Some that stood out to me are Jay Rockefeller, Robert Byrd, Byron Dorgon and Harry Reid. Harry is still in the Senate and has endorsed Hillary.

On the House side the following are still in Congress, voted yes like Bernie and have now endorsed Hillary: Jim Costa, CA; Loretta Sanchez CA; G.K. Butterfield NC; Tim Ryan OH. One that didn't endorse Hillary and is still around is Peter DeFazio OR. Two names that stood out that are no longer in Congress but endorsed Hillary are: Harold Ford and John Dingell.

Hillary is singling out Bernie for voting yes on this bill - but I find it interesting that a number of present and former members of Congress that have endorsed Hillary - also voted yes on this bill.
Will she come out and take them to task for their votes?
