Hillary Clinton continued to put heat on Bernie Sanders on Monday for what she described as his failure to challenge the national gun lobby or to support what she called a “commonsense agenda” on gun control.
“Most of the guns that are used in crimes and violence and killings in New York come from out of state. And the state that has the highest per capita number of those guns that end up committing crimes in New York” is Vermont, Clinton said at a panel on gun violence prevention in New York.
Ahead of New York’s primary on 19 April, Clinton sat down with Democratic congressman Steve Israel and five women who have been affected by gun violence. She addressed an enthusiastic crowd about her plan for improved background checks and stronger anti-trafficking laws before turning the microphone over to the panellists. Clinton called the women “some of the most courageous and persistent voices you could hear anywhere”, noting how intimidating the gun lobby can be to people who agitate for gun control.

I really, really hate that woman.
Why on Earth would any thug from NYC drive 300 miles to Burlington when they have their own underground manufacturers and Muslim arms dealers all over the city? Liberal logic astounds me.
Democratic voters committing crimes that NRA members won’t commit
Bingo. You go to the inner cities and get whatever guns you want. The good ones.
Most of the drugs sold there that fuels the violence probably come from out of state. Bring manufacturing back to NY!
Goodness, Vermont must be near the top in violent crime statistics.
Actually they are always among the bottom.
If I am not mistaken; Vermont has one of lowest statewide crime rates in the country. Gun violence is primarily a function of demographics and much less about the availability of legal firearms.
Bernie Sanders, the Leland Yee of Vermont !
How come crime in all these big blue cities is the fault of the gun laws in some other state ?
It’s never what people in NY are doing or not doing.
But, wait! A few years ago they were blaming GEORGIA for all those out of state guns! “The Iron Pipeline” they called it.
That's more with Vermont being a homogeneous people. No gibsmedats or third-worlders infesting the state.
I'm sure Obama's working on that little homogeneity problem.

Gee.wonder why Vermont doesn’t have the high percentage of gun crimes that New York has?
You can see videos on youtube about how to make an AK 47 out of a shovel that uses the shovel handle as a stock.

Mrs Clinton, NY’s SAFE law requires registration of common rifles; compliance rate is 4%. How do you propose implementing gun control laws when 96% of otherwise law abiding gun owners say “he11 no!”?
Not entirely true. VT has some of the most liberal social welfare systems in the country. During the Clinton years VT was the only state that opted out of most of the federal reforms. Welfare leeches find it easier than Mass so they flock here.
The Sanders version of Obonzo’s Fast and Furious. Huff and Puff! Vermonters sending guns to New Yawk so they can kill each other. Wow!
...in 2014, 55 guns recovered in NY came from VT. 100s more from states like PA, FL, GA, VA
