Excerpt:

“Hillary Clinton has been a national leader on gun violence prevention for decades. More than any candidate on either side of the aisle, she has the experience, record, and demonstrated commitment to help reach the Brady Campaign’s goal of cutting gun deaths in half by 2025,” Brady Campaign President Dan Gross, who is set to appear with Clinton on Tuesday, said in a statement.

"She was with us when we passed the Brady Bill in 1993, she took on the corporate gun lobby by fighting the truly evil Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, and now she’s made gun violence prevention a centerpiece of her campaign, supporting a policy that’s already saved lives in Iowa — expanded Brady background checks on gun sales," he said.

Clinton’s campaign has noted that Sanders voted against the Brady Bill five times in pointing to his record on gun control, and has criticized the insurgent candidate more recently for his 2005 vote to limit liability for gun manufacturers and dealers — legislation Gross called "truly evil."

1. not surprising from a group

That lies and does not state the complete and true facts. Wait until she evolves back to the right like the Annie Oakley she really is.

3. Indeed, O'Malley would have been a better choice than the person Obama called Annie Oakley:

Clinton's Hunting History

WAUSAU, WIS. -- At a campaign stop this afternoon, Hillary Clinton's focus was on the economy and health care but some in the crowd had other things on their minds. Clinton was asked to discuss gun control which prompted Clinton to talk about her days holding a rifle in the cold, shallow waters in backwoods Arkansas.

"I've hunted. My father taught me how to hunt. I went duck hunting in Arkansas. I remember standing in that cold water, so cold, at first light. I was with a bunch of my friends, all men. The sun's up, the ducks are flying and they are playing a trick on me. They said, 'we're not going to shoot, you shoot.' They wanted to embarrass me. The pressure was on. So I shot, and I shot a banded duck and they were surprised as I was," Clinton said drawing laughter from the crowd.

Clinton touts her experience with guns

“You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught me how to shoot when I was a little girl,” she said.

“You know, some people now continue to teach their children and their grandchildren. It’s part of culture. It’s part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it’s an important part of who they are. Not because they are bitter.”

Let states & cities determine local gun laws

Q: Do you support the DC handgun ban?

A: I want to give local communities the authority over determining how to keep their citizens safe. This case you’re referring to is before the Supreme Court.

Q: But what do you support?

A: I support sensible regulation that is consistent with the constitutional right to own and bear arms.

Q: Is the DC ban consistent with that right?

A: I think a total ban, with no exceptions under any circumstances, might be found by the court not to be. But DC or anybody else [should be able to] come up with sensible regulations to protect their people.

Q: But do you still favor licensing and registration of handguns?

A: What I favor is what works in NY. We have one set of rules in NYC and a totally different set of rules in the rest of the state. What might work in NYC is certainly not going to work in Montana. So, for the federal government to be having any kind of blanket rules that they’re going to try to impose, I think doesn’t make sense.

6. I agree completely

Kind of proves it really is not the actual positions they look at.

[beam me up scottie]

7. If I was a one issue voter and gun control was a deal breaker I'd support O'Malley.

He hasn't repeatedly flip flopped on the issue like Hillary.

[Duckhunter935]

8. yep

I can see why but I support Bernie and his reasonable positions.

[a2liberal]

9. Gee, favoring state-by-state handling of gun laws?

Sounds an awful lot like a certain other Senator...

[beam me up scottie]

11. Her position isn't that different from Bernie's.

But IOKIYHRC.

[riversedge]

24. Past time to look forward BMUS. Hillary and we in America have a bright future. Living in the

past with you posting old stuff is not progressive.

[Iliyah]

27. Thank you!

HRC's endorsements get trashed including, but limited to favorable polls and articles, but alas, any such in favor of their candidate is Devine. Yeah right.

[Cha]

2. Another sensible gun law supporing Hillary.. thank you, Alfresco

[Alfresco]

vile crap to be posted on their website and twitter.

[Alfresco]

[earthside]

28. The word of the day is "vile". n/t

[LexVegas]

[Alfresco]

17. ...

[Duckhunter935]

21. you do know my nickname is

From my 20 years as an air defense artillery sodier, a duckhunter. I have been told that before, so when was that shotgun model introduced? How long have I been a member of DU? Funny how I have had that screen name longer. It is just duckhunter and the 935 is random that I have been using for at least 15 years as I needed to add numbers to be unique. Apology accepted.

[CreekDog]

29. The 935 isn't random, it refers to the Mossberg 935 a duck hunting weapon

http://guns.gearsuite.com/l/5078/Mossberg-935-Magnum-Waterfowl-12-gauge

Like so many of your posts, nice try.

[Duckhunter935]

34. yes it is just like 9090 is another username of mine.

Never hunted and I do not hunt, so I guess you are calling me a lier now? Be careful, you dot not know me at all and you seem to be calling me a lier, not a very nice thing.

[CreekDog]

36. how many do you have?

[Duckhunter935]

37. those two

Harley forums, smart car forums, Dodge truck forums. Does it matter or are you accusing me of something? So do you have any other usernames and just what other sites do you belong to?

I answer your weird question how about you do the same thing?

[CreekDog]

39. I was asking about DU usernames

and since you want me to answer what I've asked you, yes I just have this one user name on DU, and it's the only one I've ever had.

[Duckhunter935]

40. same here

This is the only one I have ever had.

[CreekDog]

30. I hadn't thought about Duckhunter 935, or did you mean Eleanor's 38?

They are separate accounts, I assure you.

[Duckhunter935]

35. I think that one might

Be, you are indeed correct on separate accounts.

[NCTraveler]

15. Very nice. Nt

[leftofcool]

18. Good news. Thank you, Alfresco

[Iliyah]

19. K & R

[MoonRiver]

20. Very happy to read this!

It is a well deserved enforsement!

[mcar]

22. Another good endorsement!

[riversedge]

23. Brady Campaign knows a leader--->Hillary!! #ImwithHere

[aikoaiko]

32. Friends of Hillary trying to help her in NH and IA.

[Snotcicles]

33. Wouldn't it be Ironic to find out that Hillary is

still profiting from the sale of guns with those shares of stock in this country's largest firearms and ammo retailer.
Last I heard, those shares were sitting in a blind trust. Can anyone tell me if she still holds those Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT ?

[Duckhunter935]

38. yes it would

O'M would be a better one for them.

[Number23]

42. K&R This is a great endorsement
