New Hillary Clinton TV Ad Focuses on One Topic: Gun Violence

Hillary Rodham Clinton is showing a new television spot in Iowa and New Hampshire in which the only words are the candidate talking about ending gun violence.

The spot would have been hard to imagine even four years ago — a presidential candidate running a television ad featuring nothing but a stump speech about guns, a politically sensitive topic in many parts of the country.

But the ads are a reflection of both the Democratic Party’s drift toward the urban left and a shift in the politics of the national debate over guns.

The spot is a clip from Mrs. Clinton speaking at a town-hall-style event during one of her campaign stops.

Notice no nuttery about AWBs, magazine capacity bans, carry bans, etc. UBCs won't make it through congress anytime soon...but I think we understand she would sign a UBC bill if presented with one.

Virtually everyone agrees with that.

The problem is in the implementation. The implementation is the reason for the failure of the previous federal attempt.
