NRA spends $3 million on new anti-Clinton ad

[spanone]

Washington (CNN)The National Rifle Association launched a new ad Tuesday in battleground states that portrays Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton as an elitist who "would leave you defenseless."

It will air in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada and North Carolina and at about $3 million it's the most expensive pro-Trump ad buy to date, according to an NRA spokeswoman.

The ad comes as Republican nominee Donald Trump set off a fierce new controversy Tuesday with remarks about the right to bear arms that were interpreted by many as a threat of violence against Clinton.

"Hillary wants to abolish -- essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know," Trump said.
