Remember this? HRH and guns...
I do. This is the flier HRH sent out during her 2008 campaign against Obama. She insinuated he was trying to take people's guns away from them and now she's taking the complete opposite stance on the issue attacking Bernie. She evolved again! And she's to be believed that her current stance on the gun issue is authentic? Really?

Hillary Clinton has re-opened her sharp attack on Barack Obama's position on guns, with a mailer in Indiana that seeks to raise questions about him with both supporters and opponents of gun rights.
The mailing -- perhaps the sharpest-edged of Clinton's five negative mail pieces in Indiana -- casts him as a typical politician, saying different things to different audiences. It also revives his damaging comments in San Francisco that small town people cling to guns.
Then, making the harsh case more broadly, the mailer asks: "What does Barack Obama really believe?"
The piece is particularly striking coming from Clinton, who has been seen for most of her career as a firm advocate of gun control, but more recently has emerged -- without dramatically shifting her stance on specific issues -- as a defender of the Second Amendment who fondly recalled being taught to shoot by her grandfather in Scranton.

"She is running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsman, how she values the second amendment. She's talking like she's Annie Oakley," Obama said, invoking the famed female sharpshooter immortalized in the musical "Anne Get Your Gun."

Hillary Clinton issues stern rebuke to Bernie Sanders on gun control record
<snip>
“When it really mattered, Senator Sanders voted with the gun lobby, and I voted against the gun lobby,” Clinton said in an interview with Chris Matthews on MSNBC, citing Sanders’ support in 2005 for a bill that granted legal protections to gun manufacturers.<snip>

“Bernie has been a consistent supporter of gun safety legislation since he lost his first bid for Congress in a campaign in which he supported an assault weapons ban,” Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, said in a statement. “The National Rifle Association has given him grades of D- and F.”<snip>

Sanders has defended his record as shaped by his perspective as a senator from Vermont, a rural state with low rates of gun violence. In an interview with the Guardian in December, Sanders said his gun control stance was “not very different from what Hillary Clinton or anybody else believes”.
“But politics being what it is, they saw that as a vulnerability of mine because I come from a state that doesn’t have any gun control but I think we’re handling it fine now,” he said.Sanders has defended his record as shaped by his perspective as a senator from Vermont, a rural state with low rates of gun violence.
