KEENE, N.H. — Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton brought her message about tighter gun control to New Hampshire on Friday, days after forcefully challenging Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont on the issue during the first Democratic presidential debate of the 2016 campaign.
Much of Clinton’s introduction during a nearly two-hour town hall forum was dedicated to how she planned to curb gun violence and enact legislation to keep firearms out of the hands of violent felons, domestic abusers, and the mentally ill as president.
In a question-and-answer session that followed, voters asked Clinton about everything from clean energy to student debt to gay rights.
Among the elected officials, students, and campaign organizers who praised the former first lady in the 20 minutes before Clinton took the microphone was Clai Lasher-Sommer, who described being shot by her abusive stepfather as a teenager 45 years ago.
................
But much of Friday’s town hall in Keene – Clinton’s third visit to the city during her 11 trips to New Hampshire – was dedicated to answering more than a dozen questions from the multigenerational audience. Voters wanted to know what Clinton thought about the country’s nursing shortage (expand programs; increase the number of students in the pipeline, she said), genetically modified food (not completely in favor, but not totally against), and the Glass-Steagall law dealing with commercial banks (her plan, she says, is tougher and more comprehensive)................

Growing Public Support for Gun Rights
More Say Guns Do More to Protect Than Put People at Risk
Two Years After Newtown, A Shift in Favor of Gun RightsFor the first time in more than two decades of Pew Research Center surveys, there is more support for gun rights than gun control. Currently, 52% say it is more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns, while 46% say it is more important to control gun ownership.
Support for gun rights has edged up from earlier this year, and marks a substantial shift in attitudes since shortly after the Newtown school shootings, which occurred two years ago this Sunday.
The balance of opinion favored gun control in the immediate aftermath of the Newtown tragedy in December 2012, and again a month later. Since January 2013, support for gun rights has increased seven percentage points – from 45% to 52% — while the share prioritizing gun control has fallen five points (from 51% to 46%).
Increasing Number Say Gun Ownership Protects People From CrimeThe latest national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted Dec. 3-7 among 1,507 adults, also finds a shift in attitudes about whether gun ownership in this country does more to protect people or put people’s safety at risk. Nearly six-in-ten Americans (57%) say gun ownership does more to protect people from becoming victims of crime, while 38% say it does more to endanger personal safety. In the days after Newtown, 48% said guns do more to protect people and 37% said they placed people at risk.
