@BernieSanders When Sen. Sanders successfully ran for the House in 1990, he got the tacit endorsement of the NRA after pledging not to support the Brady Bill, which included waiting periods to receive weapons. @BernieSanders Once in the House, he kept his word, voting against the legislation five times. Sanders said he opposed the legislation because it did not have instant background checks. He repeatedly noted that Vermont is a state without gun regulation.
