alert: clinton <u+201c>assault weapon ban<u+201d> resurrected<u+2026> gun owners beware 




hillary for america speechwriter lauren peterson wrote to the clinton camp on jan. 14, 2016: <u+201c>marie claire has partnered with harvard on a study that looks at women and guns <u+2026> and they<u+2019>ve asked hillary to contribute an essay on the subject.<u+201d> 




campaign political director amanda renteria referred to the column entitled <u+201c>yes, guns are a women<u+2019>s issue<u+201d> as <u+201c>a great piece.<u+201d>   




director of engagement de<u+2019>ara balenger echoed the sentiment but noted a potential point of concern: 




<u+201c>jordan davis was killed by a white man, so arguably <u+2014> this crime was racially motivated, which takes this outside the discussion of gun violence,<u+201d> balenger wrote. <u+201c>was there another mother in the chicago meeting where the shooting was not racially motivated? if yes, we should use that story instead of jordan davis?<u+201d> 




policy adviser corey ciorciari made the campaign<u+2019>s stance on using race to push their agenda clear in his response: 




<u+201c>you know where i stand on this,<u+201d> he wrote. <u+201c>it can be racially motivated and gun violence should still very much be part of the discussion.<u+201d>
