Hillary Clinton -- Gun Control Legislation Platform

Clinton is in New Hampshire today, where she trails Bernie Sanders. She will roll out her plan for gun control reform, which includes:
1. Closing background check loopholes for gun show, private, and online purchases/transactions.
2. Barring all domestic abusers and stalkers from buying and possessing guns.
3. Repealing a law that prevents victims from suing gun manufacturers, distributors, and dealers (this is significant and sets Clinton apart from Sanders).
4. Extending the wait time for guns if a background check can't be completed with the current 3 day wait period.
(Dylann Roof, the Charleston church shooter, legally purchased his gun -- despite a disqualifying arrest -- because his background check wasn't completed within the 3 day period allotted to the Fed. He then killed 9 people with that gun).
Clinton says that, if elected President, she would like to work with Congress to push through new gun control legislation. However, if Congress refuses, she'll use Executive Action to enact new gun laws.
