However, in 2008, when Clinton ran against Obama, she sent out mailers attacking Obama's position on gun control. It was striking because Clinton had spent most of her career advocating for gun control. Yet, to compete against Obama, she dramatically shifted her stance and presented herself as a Second Amendment advocate, who "fondly recalled being taught to shoot by her grandfather in Scranton."
Now, Clinton has shifted away from talking about learning to shoot a gun to attacking Sanders for refusing to support the Sandy Hook victims in their lawsuit against gun manufacturers.
