Related: About this forumHillary Clinton uses Daily News transcript to attack Bernie Sanders in contentious New York primary
Time and time again, Clinton used Sanders' own words against him, repeatedly pointing to the transcript of his April 1 interview with the New York Daily News editorial board as evidence that he simply wasn't prepared to lead the country, carry out his campaign's central promises, and take on the gun lobby in the U.S.
The Brooklyn democratic debate in 90 seconds
"He voted for the most important NRA priority," Clinton said, referring to Sanders' 2005 vote in Congress in support of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which protects gun manufactures from most lawsuits stemming from illegal use of their products.
When asked whether he would support the Sandy Hook parents suing to try to do something to rein in the advertising of the AR-15, which is advertised to young people as being a combat weapon, killing on the battlefield. He said they didn't deserve their day in court a reference to efforts by the families of the 2012 Newtown, Conn., shooting to sue the manufacturer of the weapon used in the massacre.
"I could not disagree more, this is the only industry in America that has this kind of special protection. We hear a lot from Senator Sanders about the greed and recklessness of Wall Street, but what about the greed and recklessness of gun manufacturers and dealers in America," she added in a response punctuated by loud cheering.
When asked by CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer whether he owed the Sandy Hook families an apology, Sanders gruffly responded in the negative.
No, I don't think I owe them an apology, he said, prompting some booing, and another Clinton retort.
The latest RealClearPolitics average of polling in New York shows Clinton leading Sanders 53%-39% in the state.
Meanwhile, the primary itself could also end up being Sanders last chance to make a substantial dent in Clintons lead in the total delegate count for the nomination.

Our next Pres. did well last night. Night and day between their on-stage personas.
He's looking more and more blustery and manic. Out-of-control anger does NOT become him.
