Hillary Clinton unveils gun measures after shooting

Days after a deadly shooting in Oregon, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton unveiled gun control measures aimed at strengthening background checks on gun buyers and eliminating legal immunity for sellers.

During a daylong campaign swing through New Hampshire, Clinton proposed a repeal of legislation that shields gun manufacturers, distributors, and dealers from most liability suits, even in the case of mass shootings like the one that killed nine people at a community college last Thursday.

Clinton has made tightening gun laws a centrepiece of her presidential campaign, vowing she would use her executive power as president to expand background checks for sellers at gun shows and online and back legislation banning domestic abusers from purchasing guns.
