1:20Now PlayingFormer US Vice President Joe Biden took on White House rival Bernie Sanders on Saturday night for his past vote to exempt gun manufacturers from liability for shootings.
Biden devoted the majority of his speech at a Democratic gala on the Las Vegas Strip to deliver a fiery charge against the National Rifle Association and gun manufacturers, vowing to hold gun makers accountable if elected president.
He didn't cite Sanders by name when referring to a 2005 federal law that shields gun-makers from liability in most crimes, but said, “some of the people running for office voted for that exemption.”
Sanders, who was the first to take to the stage, focused on the minority votes, saying that to win the Democrats needed the support of "the African-American community, the Latino community, the Asian community and the Native American community."
Elizabeth Warren, reeling after a weak performance last week in New Hampshire, took the stage with a raggedy voice, having lost it after a day barnstorming the city.
Warren said she has spent a career fighting powerful interests on behalf of typical Americans.
In his address to the audience, former mayor Pete Buttigieg said his candidacy would shake up the establishment and would "bring new thinking to Washington."
The speeches were all made after a frenzied Saturday of campaigning across Las Vegas on the first day of early voting in Nevada's Democratic caucuses.
While the state's formal presidential caucuses are still a week away, Democrats opened the first of four days of early voting across more than 80 locations.
