"She is the only one who will stand up to the gun lobby": Benjamin Crump endorses Hillary
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/benjamin-crump-endorses-hillary-clinton-218832#ixzz3zLtvEYHqThe attorney for the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown has endorsed Hillary Clinton, according to her campaign.
Civil rights attorney Benjamin L. Crump, who received widespread national media attention for representing the two slain black teenagers' families, will campaign for Clinton in South Carolina. Martin was 17 when he was fatally shot in 2012 by former neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, who was ultimately acquitted. Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson in 2014.
“Crump will talk to South Carolina voters about what’s at stake in this election and Hillary Clinton’s strong record of fighting for families,” the campaign said in a statement emailed to POLITICO. “He will highlight how Clinton is the only one who will stand up to the gun lobby, has a plan to reform our criminal justice system, and understands the issues that keep families up at night.” The news was first reported by BuzzFeed.

last time she ran, she was a firm supporter of gun rights.
If she wins the nomination and needs the votes. Some people will be very disappointed 
they have us to blame for their problems, scapegoats make everything better.
