Two standbys of Hillary Clinton's stump speech — riffs on guns and national security — assumed added resonance in San Bernardino, the city that was shaken by a terrorist attack six months ago.
Speaking at CSU San Bernardino on Friday night, Clinton's message was subtle but unmistakable: Here, these issues are personal.
"You here in this beautiful city know the horrors, the losses associated with gun violence are just unimaginable," Clinton told about 1,000 attendees, as she vowed to "take on the gun lobby."
Later, she added that residents "know so well here that the most important responsiblity of any president is to be the commander-in-chief."
The rally took place around 10 miles from the Inland Regional Center, the site of the mass shooting in December, in which a radicalized husband and wife gunned down 14 people.
On both guns and national security, Clinton has often differentiated herself from her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders. Clinton has positioned herself to the left of Sanders on gun control and has leaned on her foreign policy experience, particularly as secretary of state, to make the case that she is better prepared to be president.
Julio Santos, a 26-year-old history teacher from San Bernardino, said before the event that he had hoped Clinton would address gun control in light of the shooting as well as this week's murder-suicide on the UCLA campus.
"What happened at UCLA — it's happening more often now. Something needs to be done," he said.
Clinton treated Trump as both a farce — "at some point, you have to ask, is this just nothing but a political stunt?" — and as an ominous threat.
"We are trying to elect a president, not a dictator," she said.

That's rich coming from a gun banning _____
about 1,000 attendees
She is hurting.
And yet guns have stopped millions of perp from committing more crimes dead in their tracks...of course criminals don’t like to hear that...
SUBTLE??? Clinton??? Surely you jest...that pig doesn’t know the first thing about subtle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope Hillary keeps hyping her alleged “national security” bona-fides.
San Bernardino was caused by the Obama administration allowing unvetted muslim pukes to enter the country...That’s it in a nutshell....
no, Hillary, the reason the IslamoNazi attacked there was because he was told nobody had any defensive firearms there
constitutional open carry almost puts a complete end to such Moslem attacks
“What happened at UCLA — it’s happening more often now. Something needs to be done,” he said.
HEY Hilda...BENGHAZI
I’ve heard that there are 300,000,000 Firearms in this Country owned by 150,000,000 People.
According to the Liberal Logic of blaming the Gun, there should be 300,000,000 Gun Deaths every day, half of which are Suicides.

Ah yes, ban the inanimate objects but coddle the murderous cultists who abuse them. Makes perfect sense.

The buyer Enrique Marquez Jr. went through nations strictest back ground checks.
Repeatedly.
Maybe a bomb would have done damage to the gun blame agenda. When the Tsarnaev brothers set off pressure cookers I thought that they would end the availability of pressure cookers. What would happen if a can of gasoline was used? Would gasoline become a controlled substance? Machetes? Cell phones? Fertilizer? Baseball bats?
Tell us Hillary, how did gun control work out for you in Libya? Not so good? And you want us to let you manage things here?
Gun control didn’t work too well for Vince Foster, did it?
Well it was Friday night and those union workers just go into town, drink a bunch of beer, dance and then shoot out the lights. Oops. union workers there carry guns. Know your crowd Hillary.
Yeah.
This whole article is pro-Hillary propaganda about as subtle as a 1200 illegal aliens rioting to get more welfare, disability and food stamps, and voter registration cards......
