Hillary Clinton Supports the 2nd Amendment
Apparently, Hillary Clinton supports the 2nd Amendment.
“I support the Second Amendment. Law-abiding citizens should be able to own guns,� Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, a New York senator, said in response to questions from The Des Moines Register. “But I also believe strongly in smart laws that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists.�
Well, not so much. Actually, she's about as anti-gun as they come. Consider the following Hillary positions:
License and register all handgun sales
Hillary Rodham Clinton offered her support for a legislative proposal to license hand guns. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer, would require anyone who wants to purchase a gun to obtain a state-issued photo gun license. “I stand in support of this common sense legislation to license everyone who wishes to purchase a gun,� Clinton said. “I also believe that every new handgun sale or transfer should be registered in a national registry, such as Chuck is proposing.�

I think it does once again urge us to think hard about what we can do to make sure that we keep guns out of the hands of children and criminals and mentally unbalanced people. I hope we will come together as a nation and do whatever it takes to keep guns away from people who have no business with them.

We will not make progress on a sensible gun control agenda unless the entire American public gets behind it. It is really important for each of you [kids] to make sure you stay away from guns. If you have guns in your home, tell your parents to keep them away from you and your friends and your little brothers and sisters.

We have to do everything possible to keep guns out of the hands of children, and we need to stand firm on behalf of the sensible gun control legislation that passed the Senate and then was watered down in the House. It does not make sense for us at this point in our history to turn our backs on the reality that there are too many guns and too many children have access to those guns-and we have to act to prevent that.

If you own a gun... make sure it’s locked up and stored without the ammunition. In fact, make it stored where the ammunition is stored separately. We’ve made some progress in the last several years with the Brady Bill and some of the bans on assault weapons, but we have a lot of work to do.
Yeah. OK. Thanks for playing, Hillary, but we're not that stupid. All we need now is a photo op of Hillary in a brand new hunter orange vest out in a field shooting birds. I'll give ten-to-one odds we'll see some staged hunting photo-ops of her after she gets the Demagogic nod. Any takers?
