FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) ....................
Clinton played up her allegiance to President Barack Obama at a rally Thursday and pledged to continue fighting for tougher gun laws two arguments that resonate with the African-American voters who wield tremendous influence in Saturday's primary.
"I'm really proud to stand with President Obama, and I'm really proud to stand with the progress he's made," she said in Kingstree, South Carolina. "I need your help, starting with this primary on Saturday."

On guns, Clinton pledged to take on the firearms manufacturing lobby. "I know how hard this is politically," she said in Kingstree.
The issue takes on special significance in South Carolina, a state shaken in June when a white gunman killed the pastor and nine others at a historically black church in Charleston.

Clinton's appearance about 70 miles north of Charleston was the first of four stops Thursday. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has multiple appearances, as well. ................

(5,668 posts)but I have zero trust they'll actually do anything about it this does go for Sanders too, Although unlike Clinton if enough people tell him to do something he'll do it. Which is what he did in Vermont.
