Clinton uses McCarthy’s Benghazi committee comments to defend herself

Gun control is a more hard issue for Sanders, who has been gaining on Clinton in national polls and leading her in a few surveys in New Hampshire and Iowa. The presidential contender told NBC television’s Today show that if she were president, she would have “done everything” in her power to shut down such a partisan investigation.

“This epidemic of gun violence knows no boundaries, knows no limits of any kind”.

McCarthy later said the Benghazi committee had “nothing to do with politics”. But their differences is beginning to emerge ahead of next week’s first Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas, when they are both expected to face questions about what separates them.

She threatened to remove the “unique” legal immunity that protects gun manufacturers and dealers against law suits, and would boost funding for more inspections of gun stores, aggressive enforcement of existing law, and punishment of dealers who break the law.

On Monday, Clinton outlined a series of steps to update the Brady law that established background checks for all weapons purchases that went into effect in 1994, before the Internet became a force in US commerce.

Garcia also said that the secretary of state will continue fighting for the students, teachers, and those who make a living for their families, stating that she understands that a strong economy starts with a good education.

“A majority of Americans support universal background checks”.

Clinton, who has drawn scrutiny for the Benghazi attack and using a private email server to conduct government business, has maintained that she did nothing illegal. She released a plan Monday to take executive action to crack down on high-volume gun sellers at gun shows, where rules differ from brick-and-mortar stores. In his statement, Sanders focused on closing the gun show loophole and improving access to mental health services a proposal many Republicans tend to emphasize. After that shooting, which killed 20 children and six educators, President Barack Obama tried and failed to push legislation through Congress that would have tightened background checks for firearms purchasers.

But Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont, has gained momentum with support from strongly liberal Democrats, as well as from young people and white voters.

Clinton said there was little “new” and “nothing unique” about her plans – aside from her determination to take action. “It’s not like we don’t have great respect for President Clinton and Secretary Clinton, but if you look at Joe Biden and his relationship to us, he is an older brother rather than just a friend”.
