Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have traded paint a few times as they race toward the Democratic nomination, with democratic socialist Sanders consistently pushing Hillary Clinton to the right. The reliably liberal Sanders seems to be all over the road when it comes to guns and gun control, though, giving Clinton some breathing room to talk guns during her visit to New Hampshire today.

Raise your hand if you can picture Hillary Clinton firing a gun.

For someone who reportedly respects the role of guns in American culture, Clinton has said in debates that Australian-style gun control (handgun confiscation) is “worth considering.”
We can't wait any longer to keep our communities safe. We need to act on gun violence prevention. https://t.co/37QVIbRnpd #GOPdebate

That sounds like common sense gun control to us; keeping firearms locked in a gun locker’s a good idea too.
These days, though, Hillary’s hunting for votes and most often seen shooting selfies.
