Candidate Hillary Clinton will be holding a gun violence discussion in Hartford, where she will be joined by family members of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shootings. Former President Bill Clinton will appear at a fundraiser in a private home in Westport. 

In her Hartford stop, Hillary Clinton will talk about her commitment to enact commonsense gun safety measures as president, her campaign said in a press release. 

She has proposed steps to tackle gun violence in communities across the country, including enacting comprehensive background checks, ending immunity protections for irresponsible gun manufacturers and dealers that prevent victims’ families from holding them accountable, and keeping guns out of the hands of domestic abusers, other violent criminals and the severely mentally ill. 

Participants will also include family of victims of gun violence in other Connecticut cities.
