Hillary's 'solutions' for killing sprees don't address 2 core problems

by Jeff Knox

7:00am Monday, September 12, 2016

(Image source: FreeImages.com/Kerem Yucel) Democrats have declared gun control as one of their top campaign issues this year (though they call it “gun safety,” “gun reform” or “gun violence prevention” instead of gun control – those terms poll better).
