Hillary Clinton is accentuating her support for gun control in the run-up to Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Connecticut, the site of one of the worst school shootings in American history.
The former secretary of State met last week in Hartford, Conn., with the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and has launched ads in the state featuring victims of gun violence.
“I am here to tell you I will use every single minute of every day, if I’m fortunate to be your president, looking for ways to save lives so we can change the gun culture,” Clinton said to victims of the Newtown massacre in Hartford on Thursday, according to The Associated Press.
Mailers supporting Clinton that have been sent to registered Democrats in Connecticut feature Gabby Giffords, a former Arizona congresswoman and shooting victim who has become one of the biggest national advocates for changing gun laws.
“Time and time again, Hillary Clinton has done and said what is right, not what is politically expedient,” Giffords says on the mailers. “She is the only candidate I trust to stand up to the corporate gun lobby’s intimidation and bullying.” ......
....Sanders has denounced the attacks, saying it’s “unfair”-........................
"So to say that I'm kind of a supporter of the NRA is really a mean-spirited and unfair and inaccurate statement," Sanders added.
Polls give Clinton an eight-point lead in Connecticut before Tuesday’s primary, ........................
Clinton has been using the gun issue “as a way to respond when [Sanders] goes after her with not standing up against Wall Street, to kind of counter with, ‘you’re not standing up to the gun manufacturers,” said Douglas Schwartz, the director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
The strategy has appeared to pay off in Connecticut.
Rep. Elizabeth Esty, a Democrat whose district includes Newtown, has endorsed Clinton. She said the issue of gun control is “deeply personal” for her constituents. .

she has actual evidence...his votes. He votes on bills the way the NRA likes. Does that mean he's "with" the NRA 
but when the NRA gets what it wants it's a lot easier to make that connection.
She can actually back up her claims, whereas he can only sputter a non-answer when asked how she's been compromised by big money.
