Gun plan could boost Clinton in 2016 race
Hillary Clinton’s gun control pledge to tighten background checks and press manufacturers contrasts with Bernie Sanders who opposes some measures. The plan follows an Oregon college mass shooting and may energize progressive voters while Sanders faces questions over his 1993 vote on the Brady Bill. Analysts say the issue could become a wedge in early primaries and both candidates now support expanding background checks with Clinton aiming to close loopholes and act against manufacturers.
