The day after the shooting that killed 10 people at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College, Hillary Clinton called for a “national movement” strong enough to rival the National Rife Association, which she described as “an intense, dedicated group” of gun lobbyists who “scare politicians and say, ‘We will vote against you.’”

Clinton, who has made new gun restrictions a regular feature of her speeches on the campaign trail, addressed the shooting at a rally in Florida on Friday.

In other recent appearances, Clinton has advocated specifically for universal background checks on gun-buyers — an initiative that failed in Congress under President Obama.

The deaths in Oregon on Thursday amounted to the 45th school shooting this year, according to the gun control group Everytown. At her campaign event in Florida, Clinton invoked past mass shootings, saying, “People should not have to be afraid to got to college like this one, or go to the movie theater, or go to bible study.”
