Q to Clinton: Are you seriously blaming Vermont and Sanders for NY's gun violence?
Clinton: “of course, not.” Clinton says 33,000 a year get killed by guns. We have a problem and need someone who will stand up against the gun lobby. Says Sanders voted against Brady bill 5 times, told the Daily News that he doesn't support the manufacturers being held accountable for Sandy Hook. Wants to know why we should hold Wall Street accountable and not gun manufacturers.
Sanders says Clinton didn't answer the question. Blitzer says, yes, she did, but go ahead.
Sanders goes back to '98 and said he lost an election because of his stance on guns, mentions his D-minus NRA rating and then adds that because he comes from a state that's largely unregulated he's best candidate to address the issue.
Clinton says, fact is, most of the guns that come to NY come from outside NY. Clinton talks about Sanders loss, but in the '90 campaign he won, the NRA helped get him elected, then voted five times against Brady bill.
