In New Hampshire Thursday, Clinton called directly for gun control, telling audiences throughout the state that the shooting proved the government needs "to take action now" on guns. At the time, the shootings' link to terrorism was tenuous.

"I don't see any conflict at all between going after the terrorists with everything we have got... and doing more on gun safety measures," Clinton said in response to a CNN question during a press conference at the end of a swing through Iowa. "I know that we can save lives and we shouldn't be conflating the two."

Asked if she had any regrets in the way she pushed for gun control yesterday, Clinton said, "No, not at all. We don't know how they got that arsenal inside their house, we have no idea. We don't know if it was stolen, if it was bought by someone else and handed off to them. We don't know."

Republicans hit Clinton -- and other Democrats -- on Friday for pushing gun control.

"Not only was @HillaryClinton wrong about San Bernardino, she wants to deny Americans their #2A right to self defense," the National Rifle Association, a group Clinton has directly gone after for much of her presidential campaign, tweeted on Friday.

Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican candidate for president, said the push for gun control after the attack is "just typical of the political left in America."

"I mean they didn't even know any of the facts about this and they immediately jumped on it as an opportunity to push their gun control agenda even though no gun laws would have prevented this from occurring," Rubio said in New Hampshire. "We need terrorist control."

Clinton said during the presser that questioning whether one of her top gun issues -- banning people on the "No Fly List" from purchasing weapons -- would have prevented what happened in San Bernardino was "like the question: 'How do you prove a negative?'"

"I don't know exactly what it would have or could have prevented," she said. "I do know we've got to start implementing sensible gun safety measures and this seems among the most sensible that I know of."

Clinton's comments came at the end of her daylong swing through Iowa, where she headlined an event in Sioux City with the latest member of Obama's cabinet to endorse her, Secretary of Labor Tom Perez. Clinton then headlined a town hall at a Fort Dodge, Iowa community college, where she spoke how the shooting was now being considered "an act of terrorism."

"It is incumbent upon all of us to understand that this is going to be a long struggle," Clinton said, ruling out putting American troops on the ground but pushing for more work combating ISIS online.

Clinton did not directly answer a question about whether the United States has become too sensitive to civil liberties concerns given that law enforcement now say one of the attackers used the internet and social media to interface with possible terrorists.

"I think we are always trying to get the balance right between liberty and privacy and security and safety and that has been a balancing act from the very beginning of our country," Clinton said, touting her support for the USA Freedom Act, a law that ended the bulk collection of phone metadata and reformed surveillance practices.

"We just have to have a broad, very careful analysis of what we think will work to try to cripple them in cyberspace," Clinton said. "I will be promoting and looking for ideas about it."

Hillary Clinton Delivers Message to Trump Supporter Video ...

While the country has been fixated on Donald Trump's tormenting his Republican primary opponents and deeply concerned about the governments efforts to identify any confederates in the San Bernardino, California, killings, a team of federal prosecutors and FBI agents continues to examine Hillary Clintons tenure as secretary of state in order to determine whether she committed any crimes and, if so, whether there is sufficient evidence to prove her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

What began as an innocent Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch, a D.C.-based public advocacy group promoting transparency in the executive branch, has now become a full criminal investigation, with Clinton as the likely target.

The basic facts are well-known, but the revealed nuances are important, as well. When the State Department responded to the Judicial Watch FOIA request by telling Judicial Watch that it had no emails from Clinton, Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit. When the State Department made the same representation to the court -- as incredible as it seemed at the time -- the judge accepted that representation, and the case was dismissed.

Then The New York Times revealed that Clinton used a private email server instead of the governments server for all of her work-related and personal emails during her four years as secretary of state. After that, the Judicial Watch FOIA case was reinstated, and then the judge in the case demanded of State that it produce Clintons emails.

When Judicial Watch expressed frustration to the judge about the pace at which it was getting emails, the judge ordered Clinton, under penalty of perjury, to certify that she had surrendered all her governmental emails to the State Department.

Eventually, Clinton did certify to the court that she did surrender all of her governmental emails to the State Department. She did so by sending paper copies of selected emails, because she had wiped clean her server. She acknowledged that she decided which emails were personal and which were selected as governmental and returned the governmental ones to the State Department. She has denied steadfastly and consistently that she ever sent or received any materials marked "classified while secretary of state using her private server.

All of her behavior has triggered the FBI investigation because she may have committed serious federal crimes. For example, it is a crime to steal federal property. What did she steal? By diverting to her own venue the digital metadata that accompany all emails -- metadata that, when attached to the work-related emails of a government employee, belong to the government -- she stole that data. The metadata do not appear on her paper copies -- hence the argument that she stole and destroyed the government-owned metadata.

This is particularly troublesome for her present political ambitions because of a federal statute that disqualifies from public office all who have stolen federal property. (She is probably already barred from public office -- though this was not prominently raised when she entered the U.S. Senate or the Department of State -- because of the china, silverware and furniture that she and her husband took from the White House in January 2001.)

Clinton may also have committed espionage by failing to secure the government secrets entrusted to her. She did that by diverting those secrets to an unprotected, nongovernmental venue -- her own server -- and again by emailing those secrets to other unprotected and nongovernmental venues. The reason she can deny sending or receiving anything marked "classified is that protected government secrets are not marked classified.

So her statement, though technically true, is highly misleading. The governmental designations of protected secrets are confidential, secret and top secret -- not classified. State Department investigators have found 999 emails sent or received by Clinton in at least one of those three categories of protected secrets.

Back when Clinton became secretary of state, on her first day in office, she had an hourlong FBI briefing on the proper and lawfully required care of government secrets. She signed a statement, under penalty of perjury, acknowledging that she knew the law and that it is the content of emails, not any stamped markings, that makes them secret.

Earlier this week, my Fox News colleagues confirmed the certain presence of top-secret materials among the 999 emails. Intelligence from foreign sources or about foreign governments is always top-secret, whether designated as such or not. And she knows that.

As well, she may have committed perjury in the FOIA case. When the House Select Committee on Benghazi, in its investigation of her role in the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, gathered emails, it found emails she did not surrender to the State Department.

Last week, the State Department released emails that give the FBI more areas to investigate. These emails may show a pattern of official behavior by Clinton designed to benefit the financial interests of her family's foundation, her husband and her son-in-law. Moreover, the FBI knows of a treasure-trove of documents that may demonstrate that the Clinton Foundation skirted the law and illegally raised and spent contributions.

Two months ago, a group of FBI agents sat around a conference table and reviewed the evidence gathered thus far. Each agent was given the opportunity to make or detract from the case for moving forward. At the end of the meeting, it was the consensus of the group to pursue a criminal investigation.

And Clinton is the likely target.
