Hillary Clinton’s Promises On Gun Control

“When I think about keeping Americans safe, obviously I think about terrorism,” Clinton said at a campaign event in Sanford, Fla. “But I also want to protect Americans from the epidemic of gun violence that is stalking our country.”
“I cannot come to Sanford without talking about Trayvon Martin,” she continued. “It’s heartbreaking that this young man all he did was go to a cornerstone, bought a pack of Skittles and walked back home in the rain. And his life was cut short.”
“Thirty-three thousand people a year die from guns and we’ve got to do a better job, my friends,” she said. “You see, I believe we have a fundamental human — even a moral obligation — to protect our children no matter who they are or what zip code they live in. We have a moral obligation to reduce gun violence and that will require us to stand up against systemic racism and promote justice and equality and criminal justice reform.”
“Something is wrong when young people, just starting their lives are dying. Something is wrong when so many parents live in fear that their child will be hurt or killed going to the movies, sitting in a first grade classroom, attending a Bible study, the list goes on. This has nothing to do with the Second Amendment and responsible gun owners,” Clinton added, referencing several recent high profile mass shooting events.

“But I’m looking at violence broadly,” she added. “It’s also why I’ve advocated gun-safety reform, like comprehensive background checks, closing the gun-show loophole, closing the online loophole — because, you know, it’s not only terrorists we need to be worried about.”
How awful that poor Trayvon died for skittles. And it’s sure a shame that he couldn’t go to that next Bible study. I’m sure it was on his calendar.
As for Hillary, that’s not all she has promised, but it’s a taste. She wants a renewed “assault weapons” ban, registration of ammunition buyers, a limit on ammunition purchases, and a host of other things that will infringe on your liberties.
She has the support of people like Pat Toomey, Jeff Flake, Kelly Ayotte, and others. She will have what she wants. And she will also likely attempt to federalize local and state police. Unlike the gargoyles, pit vipers and demons that inhabit the GOP, when she says what she will do, you can believe her.
Prepare now. In fact, it may already be too late.

She is indeed tyranny incarnate. Hopefully she goes down in flames this week.

As much as I detest both of the major candidates, and to a slightly lesser extent the others who have no chance, this woman cannot become President.
Most gun-related deaths in this country are from inner city gang violence. More people die from medical malpractice and don’t forget all the swimming pool accidents.
“But think of the children!” if only the progressive fascists applied that to the abortion genocide in this country……

Between two-thirds and three-quarters of “gun deaths” (read: a clear majority) are suicides. No “gun control”, “gun safety”, one-gun-a-month limit, ammunition limit, registration, or “assault weapon ban” law will fix that, and short of involuntarily sedating or confining him/her naked in a padded room, a person fully intending to end his/her own life WILL find a way to do it.
“But think of the children!” I am. It is my intention that my children grow up fully aware and educated about their rights, heritage, and history as Americans.

Yes, that’s why we should not interfere with these, nor arrest those that perpetrate them. They’re a public service.

1. About 2/3 of those “gun deaths” are by suicide – probably because they can’t stand the thought of living in “Hillary’s America”.
2. I’d have shot the little SOB too, if he was trying to bash my brains out on the sidewalk. Probably twice, just for good measure. Any reasonable man (of any race) would.
3. It’s not too late – to buy more ammo, that is (though it’s getting pretty expensive).

She’ll tear down the US government much more rapidly than anyone else. Yes, she’s bad medicine, but southern nationalists want the US government out of our southern states, so weaker is better.
