If you search for "hillary multiple sale firearms" you'll get a lot of nebulous hits but the article above is pretty comprehensive. Her role seems to be to tie the "travesty" of US gun sales to Mexico to the international effort to infringe on the American Second Amendment in support of the UN Small Arms Treaty.
