Related: About this forumHillary's lie about New York guns coming from Vermont
Having lost six straight primary contests (7 of the last 8) and struggling to regain her composure, Hillary Clinton today launched her most creative attack yet against Bernie Sanders, this time blaming the Senator for guns that end up in New York.
...
Unfortunately for Clinton, the federal governments own data directly contradicts her claims.
According to ATF statistics, for four years straight not a single Vermont gun ended up in neighboring New York state. Yet during that time, a handful of New York guns made their way across the border to Vermont...
...Not only does the data directly refute Clintons claim from the outset, the notion that a U.S. Senator is responsible and should be blamed for policies adopted by their States legislature is absurd. Federal lawmakers dont write state law, an apparently needless fact glossed over by the Clintons latest hastily-crafted attack line.
In literally blaming New York gun deaths on Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton is playing a dangerous game. Especially given her willingness to sell guns and weaponry to foreign nations who donated to her family foundation.

[Clinton] said that its going to be coming out in the very near future that many of the catastrophes that have taken human lives in the State of New York have been the product of guns coming over the border from Vermont.
Many of the catastrophes that have taken human lives in the State of New York have been the product of guns coming over the border from Vermont. Hillary Clinton to NY Lawmakers, according to Sen. Tim Kennedy (4/4/2016)
It is ugly and made up to manipulate people.
Deflect some?
