New Hillary Clinton mailers in Massachusetts slam Bernie Sanders' gun record

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is launching another attack on her primary opponent, Bernie Sanders, over his record on gun rights.

The Clinton campaign is sending out two mailings to Massachusetts voters this week focusing on gun control.

One mailing features a picture of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who was badly injured in a shooting in Arizona. It quotes Giffords praising Clinton, the former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state, as "the only candidate I trust to stand up to the corporate gun lobby's intimidation and bullying." The other features a picture of Clinton urging action on gun violence.

Both mailings go on to contrast Clinton and Sanders' records. They write that Sanders, a senator from Vermont, voted against the Brady Bill, which established background checks and waiting periods for gun buyers. Sanders has explained his votes by saying he believed waiting periods should be established by the states, not the federal government, and he was following the will of his constituents.
