In a separate exchange, a man in the crowd asked Sanders about his stance on the Second Amendment.
"I support it," the Vermont senator said, before noting its limitations.
"I believe it is not an absolute right," he said. "I do not believe you have the right to have a grenade launcher in your backyard and I think most people understand that."
Sanders said most people agree that gun ownership is not inherently bad, but that some stricter regulations are needed. Specifically, he called for closing the so-called "gun show loophole" and strengthening criminal background checks. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
