The Note: How Hillary Clinton Would Tackle Gun Control

— -- NOTABLES

--TODAY IN THE GRANITE STATE: Less than one week after the deadly shooting at the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, Hillary Clinton is set to propose a series of gun control measures she would enact if elected president, ABC's LIZ KREUTZ reports. Clinton's plan, which she plans to unveil at campaign events in New Hampshire today, comes two days after the Democratic presidential candidate blasted Republicans for putting "the NRA ahead of American families," and just hours after her Democratic challenger, Martin O'Malley, called on both Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to back his plan to reduce gun violence, which he announced last month.

--WHAT CLINTON'S PLAN WOULD DO: Clinton's plan will continue calls for universal background checks and for the ban of military-style assault weapons from the streets. In addition, it will call for a crackdown on the sale of guns on the Internet and at gun shows -- something Clinton will say she will even take executive action to do. It will also push for legislation to prevent gun sales from going through without completed background checks (dubbed the "Charleston Loophole"), and for legislation to prohibit domestic abusers and stalkers from buying and possessing guns. And it will call for repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, in order to make sure dealers and manufacturers are held accountable for negligence when crimes are committed with products they've sold.

--NEW FUSION POLL DEBUTS: FUSION today announced that it has launched a new monthly poll of young people between the ages of 18-35, the demographic marketers commonly refer to as millennials. The millennial generation is a vast one, accounting for a third of U.S. adults, with growing influence in the nation's political, social and economic life. FUSION's new poll -- conducted via national, random-sample telephone interviews -- includes a larger sample of millennials than most other surveys, allowing for more detailed analysis of attitudes in this influential population group.

--FIRST LOOK -- WHAT YOUNG AMERICANS REALLY THINK ABOUT IMMIGRATION: Young people overwhelmingly support extending rights to undocumented immigrants, putting them out of step with most Republican presidential candidates, according to the first installment of Fusion's Issues Poll, which will survey approximately 1,000 people between the ages of 18 and 35 regularly ahead of next year's election, FUSION's JORGE RIVAS reports. 81% of those surveyed said they favor a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants who arrive in the U.S. as children, or who have U.S. citizen children. By 78%, they also want to keep intact the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to all persons born in the U.S. And 74% of those surveyed rejected the idea that undocumented immigrants are taking desirable jobs from other people, a claim that GOP presidential hopefuls Rick Santorum and Donald Trump have often repeated. Fusion's 2016 issues poll was produced by Langer Research Associates. http://fus.in/1L3uwl7

ANALYSIS -- ABC's RICK KLEIN: Rep. Jason Chaffetz might yet makes things interesting -- or at least give House Republicans the real fight they seem to have been craving for so long. Chaffetz's candidacy for House speaker gives House Republicans a well-known and generally well-liked alternative to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy in the race for House speaker. Chaffetz is a committee chair with a national TV profile -- a big enough deal to have had the Secret Service peddle dirt on him, evidently. His late start and McCarthy's reservoir of goodwill make it unlikely that Chaffetz will be elected speaker on Thursday. But he has the potential to corner enough votes to make McCarthy sweat it. More importantly, it puts House Republicans in a position where they can have an honest discussion with themselves (and, as always, interested outside parties) about what they need and want in a speaker. Even if McCarthy cruises to the job, and everyone in leadership moves up one slot, he'd be inheriting a fractious conference that still has no apparent desire to be led. McCarthy and his backers should welcome the debate, and may want something even broader for this moment. In a thoughtful Twitter rant Sunday night, Sen. Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) captured the angst and opportunity of the moment: "Who's the best communicator in our movement? He/she might not be in Congress today. So what? Why wld we not pick that person --for 'SPEAKER'?"

TODAY ON THE TRAIL with ABC's RYAN STRUYK: Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton has a busy day in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire. She participates in a town hall meeting this morning and a childhood education conference this afternoon. And just more than a week away from the first Democratic debate, Martin O'Malley spends his day in Las Vegas, Nevada. A day after new NBC/WSJ/Marist polls show Donald Trump still leading in Iowa and New Hampshire, the Republican frontrunner has no events scheduled. But Carly Fiorina, now in second place in New Hampshire, will be spending her day in the Granite State, with a manufacturing tour and a house party. Meanwhile, Rick Santorum has a whopping five events scheduled in Iowa, where he hopes to jumpstart some momentum in the polls. Ted Cruz holds a rally in Michigan, John Kasich hosts a town hall in Virginia and Rand Paul is home in Kentucky for a rotary club meeting.

CHRIS CHRISTIE URGES FOCUS ON MENTAL HEALTH AFTER OREGON MASS SHOOTING. New Jersey Governor and 2016 presidential candidate Chris Christie weighed in on the recent mass shooting in Roseburg, Oregon, saying that America should get "tougher" on mental health issues. "I'm very concerned about the mental health side of this," Christie told ABC's GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS Sunday on "This Week." Christie advocates making involuntary commitment easier for doctors to enforce if they fear a mentally ill patient could become violent. "We don't want to involuntarily commit them, to put them away," he said. "We want to protect others and get them the help they need." Christie, a former prosecutor, also supports stricter enforcement of gun laws, ABC's ADAM DESIDERIO notes. "There's lawlessness out there," he said, pointing to Chicago, a city with tough gun laws and high violent crime rates. "We are not enforcing the law in as aggressive way as we should." http://abcn.ws/1KZDxIf

WHAT JEB BUSH SAYS VS. WHAT HE SAYS HE MEANS. Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has made several statements that have landed him in hot water since he entered the race. This, of course, comes with the territory, especially when one tweet is all it takes to catapult a gaffe or slip of the tongue into an out-of-context behemoth that looms over a candidate's head for months. It seems, however, that Bush has had more than the other candidates of these inelegant instances, where a great distance exists between what he said, what the public heard, and what he says he actually meant. ABC's CANDACE SMITH explores five examples, starting with the most recent. http://abcn.ws/1Z0gIO7

5 STORIES YOU'LL CARE ABOUT IN POLITICS THIS WEEK. Here's a glimpse at some of the stories the ABC News political team will be tracking in the week ahead. ABC's RICK KLEIN ha more. http://abcn.ws/1VxL6el

BERNIE SANDERS' 'TRUE BELIEVERS' PACK BOSTON CAMPAIGN EVENT. Bernie Sanders swept through Massachusetts Saturday, drawing large crowds in both Springfield and Boston. More than 20,000 people came out to see him in Boston, filling the stadium floor at the Boston Exhibition and Convention Center. A few thousand did not fit inside but stayed in cold weather and watched the speech on screens in an overflow area outside, according to ABC's MARYALICE PARKS. "You guys are the true believers," Sanders said, addressing those in the dark outside who gave him a celebrity's welcome after his hour and half speech inside the arena. It was Sanders' first day back on the campaign trail since announcing impressive fundraising numbers for the quarter this week, on pace with Hillary Clinton. http://abcn.ws/1Vxy6VW

NOTED: HOW SANDERS ALMOST MATCHED HILLARY CLINTON IN FUNDRAISING. Hillary Clinton outspent Bernie Sanders by a 2-1 margin last quarter, hosted almost 10 times as many fundraisers, and spent millions on television ads when Sanders spent none. And yet, according to the two campaigns Sanders almost matched Clinton's fundraising numbers for the third quarter. So now everyone has just one question: how did he do it? ABC's MARYALICE PARKS has more. http://abcn.ws/1QQAoy1

HILLARY CLINTON MOCKS BEN CARSON, TED CRUZ ON GAY RIGHTS. Hillary Clinton on Saturday mocked Republican presidential candidates Ben Carson and Ted Cruz over their positions on gay rights during remarks to the Human Rights Campaign, where she also called for new laws to support and protect the rights of transgender people. "Ben Carson says that marriage equality is what caused the fall of the Roman empire," the Democratic presidential candidate said to laughter during a breakfast at the LGBT rights organization's annual gathering in Washington, D.C. Clinton then mentioned Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, which drew hisses and boos from the crowd gathered inside the grand ballroom of the Mayflower Hotel, and went on to challenge him to join her at a gay pride parade, ABC's LIZ KREUTZ reports. "Ted Cruz slammed a political opponent for marching in a pride parade. He clearly has no idea what he's missing. Pride parades are so much fun. I was marching in them back when I was first lady. You should join sometime Senator, come on," she said. http://abcn.ws/1QQLl2x

THE 5 FIERCEST RIVALRIES OF THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. With the 2016 race for the White House heating up, the gloves are coming off. With 15 Republican candidates and seven Democrats still in the running for their party's nomination, the crowded field has created fierce rivalries. While the debates have offered the candidates an opportunity to confront each other face-to-face, many have been throwing punches on the campaign trail on everything from their opponents' politics to personality. ABC's MERIDITH MCGRAW, PAOLA CHAVEZ and VERONICA STRACQUALURSI look at the five most contentious rivalries so far this campaign season. http://abcn.ws/1PUZXOr
