While Hillary bashes Trump, Sanders bashes Hillary.
Gun control is one of the main reasons why I support her:

Hillary Clinton blasts Donald Trump at Trayvon Martin Foundation event
Hillary Clinton attacked Donald Trump’s statements to the NRA about gun control Saturday night in Fort Lauderdale.
“Just yesterday [Friday] at the NRA annual convention Donald Trump said in his very first hour as president — heaven forbid — he would overturn President [Barack] Obama’s action to strengthen background checks,” Clinton said.
Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, spoke at the Trayvon Martin Foundation’s Circle of Mothers event held for mothers who have lost a child to gun violence. Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, has endorsed Clinton.
“Something is wrong when so many young people just starting their lives are dying …,” Clinton said at the event held at the Embassy Suites hotel. “This election gives us a chance of trying to make it right.”
Martin, an unarmed African-American teenager from Miami Gardens, was gunned down by George Zimmerman in Sanford on Feb. 26, 2012. Martin was on a trip with his father at the time when he was shot by Zimmerman, a white Hispanic, and volunteer neighborhood watch captain. The fatal shooting ignited a heated debate across the nation about race, gun rights and Florida’s Stand Your Ground law and similar policies in other states.
“Despite all the political noise we are actually united on this issue,” Clinton said. “The vast majority of Americans support comprehensive background checks. … This isn’t a matter of building public support. We already have it. It’s a matter of making elected officials do their jobs to keep our children safe.”
Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, told the NRA this week that Clinton was “heartless” for backing restrictions on gun ownership. He claimed she would try to “abolish” the Second Amendment through the U.S. Supreme Court. PolitiFact ruled a similar claim by Trump False because Clinton has repeatedly said she wants to protect the right to bear arms while enacting measures to prevent gun violence.
The NRA endorsed Trump who supported an assault weapons ban in 2000 but opposes restrictions now. He has also vowed to get rid of gun-free zones at schools.

To see reasonable gun measures as proposed by Democrats derided and swarmed on DU with NRA talking-points - another questionable toleration of "community standards" at DU.
