MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Just days after a deadly shooting in Oregon, Hillary Rodham Clinton will unveil new gun-control measures today aimed at strengthening background checks on gun buyers and eliminating legal immunity for sellers.
During a day-long campaign swing through New Hampshire, Clinton's campaign said she plans to propose 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 students and teachers at a community college on Thursday.
She will vow to use executive power to expand background checks for sellers at gun shows and online and back legislation banning domestic abusers from purchasing guns, her campaign said.
Her campaign said she will also back congressional efforts to stop retailers from selling guns to people with incomplete background checks, as happened when Dylann Roof, who is accused in the Charleston, S.C., church shooting, bought his gun.
