Approaching debate, Clinton and Sanders showing differences

“I would have never done that, and if I were president and there were Republicans or Democrats who were thinking about that, I would have done everything to shut it down”.

Contending that the thousands of Americans who die every year from gun-related injuries is unacceptable, 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton this week unveiled a new policy to address gun violence. She veered between sadness and anger, accusing her Republican opponents of “surrender” to a hard political problem.

“It’s time for us to say, ‘Wait a minute”.

In the current law, anyone buying at gun shows or online websites can purchase a gun without undergoing any background check.

No such federal measure has been adopted since, although individual states have acted to strengthen their gun regulations. “The serious questions Secretary Clinton faces are due entirely to her own decision to put classified information at risk and endanger our national security”. However, the Senate has rejected as the Republicans “staunchly opposed” any gun legislation.

“What Hillary Clinton has done is fascinating, because of how it sets her up vis-a-vis the president”, Maddow said.

Though she has ruled out a run, Massachusetts Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. While Sanders has wooed the Democratic base with his liberal positions on issues of income inequality and college debt, he’s struggled to defend a more mixed record on gun legislation that reflects his rural, gun-friendly home state.

In past month Sanders, originally considered a long-shot for the Democratic nomination, has made impressive gains with New Hampshire voters. Clinton said Friday, one day after the campus killings.

The 30-second spot is the first one the campaign is running nationally on cable television, underscoring the political gold mine that Clinton’s team senses in McCarthy’s comments. “Sanders talk about himself”.

“That’s up to the Congress”, she said, adding that she was looking forward to testifying before the Benghazi panel on October. 22 “to explain everything we’ve done, everything that I asked to happen”.
