He is, within the context of a left wing senetor, soft on gun control, not because he is a believer in 2nd amendment rights but because he represents a state that is dependant on gun manufacturing.
On gun control he has utterly compromised his beliefs in order to continue to get elected.
What you need to realize is that looking like he doesn't compromise with big business is Bernie's Shtick, that's what gets him elected, just like Cruz's is 'I don't compromise with the Democrats', it's all still politics.

See, your problem is you think the solution to the prevailing gun crime problem in the States is gun control. I don't. I think the underlying problem goes much deeper, and if you solve that, you solve most of your gun problem.
Sanders agrees with me.
