Quote:Before it became law in 1993, the Brady bill underwent many transformations. Sanders, then Vermont’s sole representative in the U.S. House of Representatives, voted against the bill in its entirety five times:https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/20...l-five-ti/
1. In May 1991, Sanders voted against a version that mandated a seven-day waiting period. The bill passed in the House.
2. The Senate then voted to decrease the waiting period to five days, and the bill returned to the House. In November 1991, Sanders voted against that version. Although it passed in the House, the Senate didn’t muster enough votes for the new version.
3. After some back and forth, a bill resurfaced that reinstated the five-day waiting period. In November 1993, Sanders voted against that version twice in the same day.
4. Sanders voted against an amendment that would have ended state waiting periods, and for an amendment giving those denied a gun the right to know why.
5. The final compromise version of the Brady bill — an interim five-day waiting period while installing an instant background check system — was passed and signed into law on Nov. 30, 1993. Sanders voted against it.
Honestly, I wondered why OLB would even try to float the claim. I'm a stratospheric leftist in his view...and he knows that I shoot and strongly support 2nd and 9th amendment rights.
