Hillary Clinton includes tighter gun laws in five-point anti-terrorism plan

“We can not give in to fear”, Clinton said. Clinton, according to an aide briefed on the speech, “will propose a comprehensive strategy to counter each step in the process that can lead to a terrorist attack like San Bernardino, from recruitment, to training, to planning, to execution, all while staying true to our values”.

“Our political debate has been anything but serious”, Clinton said in the speech at the University of Minnesota, a state that’s become a hotbed for domestic terrorist recruitment.

Terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, California, and Paris have dramatically altered the tenor of the 2016 campaign, drawing attention to fighting terrorism and protecting the United States. Over the last week, US politics has been consumed by Trump’s radical proposal to ban all Muslims from traveling to the U.S.as a way to prevent what he has described as an influx of potential terrorists.

In a recent Gallup survey, only 9 percent of Democrats picked terrorism as their top issue, while 24 percent of Republicans and 15 percent of independents offered the same view. “It’s been identified as a hotbed for terrorism”, Hussein said.

With voter turnout among Democrats expected to come back to presidential election cycle year standards, there’s a more than good chance Mrs. Clinton will not only win Ohio’s primary but also win the General Election should she go on to win the party’s nomination as polls show she’s on track to do.

Republican presidential candidates say tougher gun laws are not the answers to terrorism. “And we’ll defeat these new enemies simply as we now have defeated those that have threatened us up to now, as a result of it isn’t sufficient to include ISIS – we should defeat ISIS”, Clinton stated. “And where undocumented children who have been here their whole lives and feel like Americans are treated like Americans, and where families are not ripped apart, but are treated humanely and respectfully”, she concluded, to another standing ovation. Fett added that when he caucuses for Sanders on February 1 it will be income inequality and the state of the economy that compel him to stand for the senator, not Sanders’ plan to fight ISIS.

Clinton hasn’t been shy about expressing her disgust with Trump’s rhetoric, especially since he unveiled plans last week to ban Muslims from entering the United States, and she again unleashed her rhetorical ire on him.

“The tech community and the government have to stop seeing each other as adversaries” and start working together, Clinton said.

Ahead of Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz’s visit to St. Paul on Thursday, Clinton took a dig at the rhetoric laid out by GOP candidates – including the Texas senator’s comments calling for a large-scale bombing campaign against ISIS.

“This is not a clash of civilizations, this is a clash between civilization and barbarism, and that’s how it must be seen”, she said.

Clinton also continued to push for stricter gun control.

She also took on the gun lobby, thus: “Terrorists use guns to kill Americans and I think we must make it a lot harder for them to do that”.

To sum up, Clinton’s strategy against the ISIS is: “One, defeat ISIS in the Middle East by smashing its stronghold, hitting its fighters, leaders and infrastructure and intensifying support for local forces who can pursue them on the ground”. While independents say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy by two to one, they say Sanders is, by almost the same margin.
