Hillary Clinton repeatedly has said she’s not here “to take your guns away,” but her campaign platform would go a long way toward stopping Americans from being able to buy some of the most popular firearms on the market.
The former first lady is walking a fine line on guns as she tries to peel away independents and some Republicans from Donald Trump while also painting herself as a gun control champion. On the campaign trail Mrs. Clinton frequently calls for new gun safety measures as she reassures law-abiding Americans their firearms won’t be targeted under her would-be administration.
On several fronts, however, it’s clear a Clinton administration would result in much tougher gun laws, including some that would affect Americans with no criminal records. And critics such as Mr. Trump and powerful gun rights groups fear Mrs. Clinton would reshape the Supreme Court by appointing justices much more hostile to Second Amendment freedoms.
While many Democrats long have been labeled as anti-gun, firearms advocates say Mrs. Clinton’s position is especially disingenuous.
“This is an outright and outrageous lie that [Mrs. Clinton] doesn’t want to take people’s guns,” said Dudley Brown, president of the National Association for Gun Rights. “Hillary Clinton has made a career of restricting citizens’ Second Amendment rights and trying to ban, outright ban, entire classes of firearms. And if that’s not taking guns then I don’t know what is. All you have to do is pay a little bit of attention.”

There is no doubt that she is anti-private gun ownership. But she doesn't really say she will DO anything. She has made a huge career out of TALKING about things and never doing anything about them. I suspect this is more of the same.
ReplyDeleteOf course, if she goes down in flames on election night, then this whole discussion is moot.

Delete:) Good point!
May I remind you all of the "Assault Weapons" ban the Billy signed into law way back when? And how many whine and complained about the sunset provision in it? Consider too all the new anti-firearms laws that have been passed in various states. The plan of attack is the same, restrict this and limited that, until the Party of Evil can call for an all out ban. With all due respect to genericviews, I would take this evil woman at her word that she does want to ban all privately owned firearms. It is only a matte of when there is another "mass shooting" either real or manufactured to prompt another round of feel good anti-firearm bills. Should this evil bitch ever become POTUS there is zero doubt she WILL sign into law any and all anti-firearm bill that comes before here. To own a firearm is a statement that you are an individual, and NOT part of the collective. Free men own guns, slaves don't. Right now the only reason why she has just talked about it and not taken any action is that she has not had the power to do so. Tell me what is there to stop Hillary the evil from issuing "Executive orders" to ban this or that? Clearly she has zero regard for the Constitution. We have had almost 8 years of antichrist Obama issuing unconstitutional and illegal EOs without any consequences for such actions. As for all those oath keepers, conservative rights advocates, three percent crowd, all I keep hearing is what they will do if this or that, but little in the way of open action. This is one time that it would be wise to take her at her word.

DeleteShe'll do anything she thinks she can get away with including murder.
Doing nothing killed Chris Stevens. As president she just has to give the orders....someone else will carry them out.

DeleteHey, can you put that with a photo? That would be great to post and see it spread like wildfire.
