Clinton Panders to Party’s Base, Praises Connecticut Gun Ban as a National Model - LisaJarratt - 04-25-2016 Clinton Panders to Party’s Base, Praises Connecticut Gun Ban as a National Model Hillary Clinton – growing increasingly frayed over the stubborn persistence of her opponent in the Democratic Party primary – took to Connecticut this week to push her gun control message to what she hoped would be willing ears. No surprise, she combined her dual instincts for bad policy and pandering by embracing a 140-page gun control law the state passed in 2013 as a model for national legislation. Her comments echoed those of Barack Obama, who at the time also pushed for similar federal action, claiming, "Connecticut has shown the way . . ." "I'm really proud that your leaders here in Connecticut have shown the way. That's why what happened here in Connecticut really needs to be a model.'' - Hillary Clinton
