Is that even true though? (I know, I know - truth is relative, pick one that works)

From her official campaign site (take it for what it's worth).

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issue...ce-prevention/

"Expand background checks to more gun sales—including by closing the gun show and internet sales loopholes—and strengthen the background check system by getting rid of the so-called “Charleston Loophole.”

"Take on the gun lobby by removing the industry’s sweeping legal protection for illegal and irresponsible actions (which makes it almost impossible for people to hold them accountable), and revoking licenses from dealers who break the law."

"Keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers, other violent criminals, and the severely mentally ill by supporting laws that stop domestic abusers from buying and owning guns, making it a federal crime for someone to intentionally buy a gun for a person prohibited from owning one, and closing the loopholes that allow people suffering from severe mental illness to purchase and own guns. She will also support work to keep military-style weapons off our streets."

The bolded could be taken a number of ways. It's entirely possible she wants to go out into the country and retrieve all the AR-15s, but it seems more likely she'd want to reign in things like open-carrying assault weapons, and regulating how one could transport high capacity or high powered weaponry.

Maybe that's giving her too much credit; I don't believe it is, but what do I know.
