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 Yorks 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.

If guns from Vermont cause so much trouble in NY, why don’t they cause the same trouble in VT?
True

You’re right and that’s exactly what Hillary and her Democratic friends will bring to NY.
