Hillary Clinton's push on gun control marks a shift in presidential politics
![Image]()
In her standard stump speech, Hillary Rodham Clinton talks about fighting income inequality, celebrating court rulings on gay marriage and health care, and, since the Emanuel AME Church massacre, toughening the nation's gun laws.
That last component marks an important evolution in presidential politics. For at least the past several decades, Democrats seeking national office have often been timid on the issue of guns for fear of alienating firearms owners. In 2008, after Barack Obama took heat for his gaffe about people who "cling to guns or religion," he rarely mentioned guns again - neither that year nor in his 2012 reelection campaign.
