Hillary says she knows how to hunt

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton revealed something about herself on Saturday that she acknowledged might surprise many people: she knows how to hunt. Campaigning ahead of Tuesday’s Democratic nominating vote in Wisconsin, a state with a strong tradition of hunting and where many voters strongly support gun ownership, she said she firmly backed the right to bear arms.“You know, you may not believe it but I’ve actually gone hunting,” Clinton, 60, said at a question-and-answer session with voters at a crammed bratwurst restaurant in Kenosha.The topic came up when one voter asked Clinton what she would do to prevent incidents such as the shooting spree at Northern Illinois University on Thursday. Clinton said steps should be taken to make sure those with criminal backgrounds or a history of mental illness did not get access to guns. She added she won’t take any steps that would infringe on the rights of “lawful gun owners.”

Later, a reporter asked if she had ever shot anything.

“Yes, Mike, I have,” she said. “A lot of tin cans and a lot of targets and some skeet.”
