Clinton, Sanders seek gun control after shootings

Sanders, now a senator, is vying with front-runner Hillary Clinton and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley for the Democratic nomination for the November 2016 presidential election.

Gun control has been a central cause of Clinton’s presidential bid in recent months.

In New Hampshire, she pressed Congress to pass legislation prohibiting individuals on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s no-fly terror list from purchasing guns.

At a campaign event Friday in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Clinton said Emanuel “loves Chicago and I’m confident he’s going to do everything he can to get to the bottom of these issues and take whatever measures are necessary to remedy them”. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). Biden, whose support had largely come at Clinton’s expense, ultimately opted not to seek a job promotion, and Clinton’s deflection of GOP attacks during her Benghazi committee testimony helped her shore up Democratic support.

Devine also pointed to Sanders’ vote in the Senate Thursday with other Democrats in favor new gun controls.

Sanders’ latest statement comes on the heels of rival Hillary Clinton’s call for a probe into the police department’s practices.

She reiterated that sentiment at the town hall meeting later in Dover, saying, “I will continue to speak out about it, and I will look for people who are willing to work with me, and I would urgently request that responsible gun owners stand up to the irresponsible, nearly unconscionable behavior of the gun lobby”. “The San Bernardino shooting was the 355th mass shooting this year”.

Clinton’s gun policy platform also includes increasing background checks; repealing immunity for “negligent manufacturers;” tightening loopholes that allow domestic abusers, felons, and mentally ill people obtain guns; and reinstating the federal assault weapons ban.

“Her infrastructure plan is further proof that she understands that the state of our nation’s infrastructure is a bellwether for the health of the American economy and for the economic prospects of American workers”, said Sean McGarvey, the organization’s president. But she said she was not ready to commit to voting for the former U.S. secretary of state. She has since moved back into an overwhelming national polling lead and regained ground in Iowa, where she leads by 11 points, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average. This closes the gap between Sanders and Clinton to 14 percent, with 10 percent of Democratic voters still undecided. Clinton supports raising the minimum wage to , a target that the Obama administration and Perez have backed.

“I said I made a mistake on Iraq”, Clinton said in the second debate.
