Laquan McDonald Cover Up? Bernie Sanders Calls On Chicago Elected Officials To

"I know we can save lives and we shouldn't be conflating the two", she said, referring to her efforts to protect people from terrorism and to the GOP criticism about gun control.

"It's a deliberate, hateful, murder of all those innocent people", Clinton said at the outset of a town hall meeting Thursday night in Dover, saying that it is becoming clearer over time that the shootings were an act of terrorism.

"If you are too risky to fly", she said, "You are too unsafe to buy a gun in America". Endorsements by national unions do not prevent their rank-and-file members from supporting a different candidate, such as Clinton's chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

"We must authorize resources for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study and research the causes and effects of gun violence in the United States of America", a Sanders campaign email said on Thursday (Dec 3).

Clinton garnered 51 percent compared to 36 percent for Sanders.

That poll was conducted in mid-October, after Clinton's commanding performance in the first Democratic debate and just before she won rave reviews for her marathon testimony before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

It is very possible Ms. Clinton could have a strong lead among registered Democrats but because her negative ratings are high and her trust ratings are low she could have difficulty winning the votes of many political independents and Republicans, compared to Mr. Sanders.

Republicans Carly Fiorina, Jim Gilmore, Lindsey Graham, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, George Pataki, Rand Paul and Rick Santorum were all inconsequential in that contest.

"I am exhausted of hearing about shootings", she said.

Sanders, who earlier in his career was backed by the National Rifle Association, issued a statement from his Senate office calling for an assault weapons ban, new limits on high-capacity magazines, tougher background checks and other limits.

Skudlarek said that politicians offering "thoughts and prayers" is not enough.

Perez is instrumental when it comes to labor reforms pursued under President Barack Obama. "The lieutenant governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is pushing a statewide ballot with a whole series of new gun control measures to be considered by the voters, and this may well provide a significant spur ... on his part when election day rolls around".

"Hillary Clinton, despite knowing that terrorists were responsible for the attack, allowed her spokesman to go to the Arab world and blame an Internet film".

Nearly three years after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, with mass shootings occurring nearly daily, many Americans agree with that.
