Clinton blasts Congress for not voting on gun bill

(CNN)Hillary Clinton faulted leaders in the House and Senate on Thursday for not allowing a vote on a bill that would make it illegal for people on the government's no-fly list to legally buy guns.

Clinton -- speaking in New York at the Brady Bear Awards Gala at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence -- told the audience that it is "long past time to say enough" on gun violence.

"Leaders in the House and Senate won't even allow a vote on whether we should prevent people on the no-fly list from buying guns, including possible terrorists," Clinton said. "It is just beyond ones imagination; these are people too dangerous to be let on airplanes but Congress won't stop them from getting guns. It is just something that makes no sense."
