Sanders Calls for National Fracking Ban; Clinton Attacks Him on Gun Control
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Presidential candidates continue to campaign in New York one week ahead
of the primary. Speaking in Long Island, Democratic candidate Hillary
Clinton attacked Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders on the issue of gun
control.

Hillary Clinton: "Most of the guns that are used in crimes and violence
and killings in New York come from out of state. And the state that has
the highest per capita number of those guns that end up committing
crimes in New York come from Vermont."

Federal data shows that of the nearly 4,600 out-of-state guns recovered
in New York in 2014, just 55 came from Vermont. Speaking in Binghamton,
Bernie Sanders proposed a national ban on the oil and gas drilling
process known as "fracking."

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "What you have done is prove to the world that when
people stand up and form a grassroots movement of environmentalists,
public health advocates, farmers, working families and religious
leaders, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish."
