FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) – Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump’s gun policies are “not just way out there” but “dangerous” and would make America less safe.

Clinton said “This is someone running to be president of the United States of America – a country facing a gun violence epidemic – and he’s talking about more guns in our schools, he’s talking about more hatred and division in our streets.”

She delivered her remarks Saturday night in Fort Lauderdale at a conference organized by the Trayvon Martin Foundation to help mothers who have lost children or family members to senseless gun violence.

It was led by Sybrina Fulton, whose 17-year-old son, Trayvon Martin, was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in 2012. She has campaigned with Clinton.
