Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), like everyone else, has some regrets.He let the country know about about one during Tuesday's
Democratic primary debate in Charleston, South Carolina. Former Vice President

Instead of immediately pushing back, he admitted he considers that one of the bad votes among the thousands of his votes he's cast during his time in
Congress, adding that he now has a D-minus rating from the National Rifle Association.> Sanders, on his past record supporting gun rights: 'I have cast thousands of votes, including bad votes. That was a bad vote. I have today a D- rating from the NRA...30 years ago I supported a ban on assault weapons.'
