Meet the Press interviews during 2018: on Gun Control

Bernie Sanders: To pass gun controls, Congress needs guts to stand up to NRA

SANDERS: It is unspeakable to see that kids go to a place where they should feel safe, where they can focus on learning, are now worrying.

Q: Have you guys done enough in the Senate?

SANDERS: Of course not! But the American people are united, overwhelmingly, on common sense gun safety legislation. Expand background checks, do away with the gun show loopholes--

Q: If they are, how come this stuff doesn't ever pass?

SANDERS: It's a three-letter word, it's the N-R-A! And it's Trump and the Republicans who don't have the guts to stand up to these people, and that's pretty pathetic. You got a Congress dominated by the NRA, and all the right-wing organizations, and that is enormously unfair to the kids in these high schools, and the American people in general.
