Trump dismisses Clinton jab on guns

Donald Trump late Saturday blasted likely general election rival Hillary Clinton’s latest attack against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee on guns.

“Wrong!” Trump tweeted, reviving his “Crooked Hillary” moniker for the Democratic presidential front-runner.

{mosads}Clinton attacked Trump at an anti-gun violence fundraiser earlier Saturday.

“Unlike Trump, I will not pander to the gun lobby,” she said at a Trayvon Martin Foundation event in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Clinton slammed comments Trump made one day earlier to the National Rifle Association, where he promised to eliminate gun-free zones.

“That idea isn’t just way out there,” Clinton said Saturday, according to the Miami Herald. “It’s dangerous. … Parents, teachers and schools should have a right to keep guns out of classrooms just like Donald Trump does at many of his hotels, by the way.

“This is somebody running for president of the United States of America, a country facing a gun violence epidemic, and he is talking about more guns in our schools; he is talking about more hatred and division in our streets, even more nuclear weapons in the world,” she added.

“That’s no way to keep us safe.”
