The National Rifle Association praised socialist senator Bernie Sanders Monday morning.

The organization applauded Sanders for his comments during Sunday’s Democratic debate on gun manufacturer liability, a matter that pertains to recent legal action from families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The families sued Remington Outdoor Company for damages related to the marketing of the Bushmaster AR-15 line, which falls under the label of its subsidiary Bushmaster Firearms and was used in commission of the crime.
