During his “Meet the Press” appearance Sunday, Sanders said he could support universal instant background checks, saying “nobody should have a gun who has a criminal background, who’s involved in domestic abuse situations.”

“Second of all, I believe that we need to make sure that certain types of guns used to kill people, exclusively, not for hunting, they should not be sold in the United States of America,” Sanders said.

He also voiced support for ending the so-called “gun-show loophole” and said “there may be other things we can do.”

“Coming from a rural state, I think I can communicate with folks coming from urban states, where guns mean different things than they do in Vermont, where it's used for hunting,” Sanders said. “That's where we've got to go. We don't have to argue with each other and yell at each other, but we need a common-sense solution.”
