Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton is primed to attack Donald Trump's proposals on firearms as dangerous ideas for America's children just one day after the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee addressed the National Rifle Association's convention and earned the group's endorsement.
Clinton, who has positioned herself as a staunch advocate on gun control, will serve as a keynote speaker Saturday night at the third annual "Circle of Mothers" conference in Fort Lauderdale, hosted by the Trayvon Martin Foundation. Past attendees have included family members of victims from the Sandy Hook Elementary School and Aurora movie theater massacres, along with the close relatives of police shooting victims Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Tamir Rice.

She's also moved so far to the left of Bernie on the gun control issue in so short a time during this primary that it's now virtually impossible for her to return to the center. She's all in on gun control whether she likes it or not.
Let's see how strict gun control actually plays in Florida (and Ohio, Colorado, Pennsylvania, etc.) during the presidential election, particularly now that the NRA has officially endorsed Trump before he even officially receives the Republican nomination.
