FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Hillary Clinton promised Saturday never to “pander to the gun lobby” as she assailed Republican Donald Trump as dangerous and hopelessly out of step with American public opinion about gun control.
................................................

“Unlike Donald Trump, I will not pander to the gun lobby, and we will not be silenced and we will not be intimidated,” Clinton said at an anti-violence and gun control event named for Trayvon Martin, the unarmed Florida teenager shot by a Neighborhood Watch volunteer in 2012.

“We know the gun lobby is powerful. I believe it’s the most powerful lobby in Washington,” Clinton said. “And we know that some candidates will say and do anything to keep them happy.”

While Trump has shifted from being a supporter of some gun control to insisting Friday that he would allow no “chipping away” of the Second Amendment, ................

This year Clinton is making gun control a centerpiece of her campaign, pledging that she would act both with Congress and on her own to install what she calls “common-sense” limitations on gun purchases that are supported by a majority of Americans. She also has pledged to seek legislation to end immunity from many lawsuits for gunmakers..............................

You're wrong, @realDonaldTrump. We can uphold Second Amendment rights while preventing senseless gun violence.
