“There isn’t any good faith negotiation and everybody knows it.”
That point is what needs to be hammered home again and again.
Hillary hasn’t got much else to campaign on. The MSM loves gun control, so there you go. The RATS are reduced to dragging out ex-beauty queens turned criminal and claiming Trump is on cocaine, so they have to appeal to the gun control sissies.
Hillary must believe that the demographics have flipped in her favor
The only thing that’s flipped is......Hitlery!
” It is not that the NRA has a direct quote of Hillary Clinton saying that she wants to confiscate all American’s guns in her first term.”
Except we do. I have seen her hold up Australia as a model we should follow. Guess what happened in Australia. That’s right, gun confiscation.
Even in Australia, they did not confiscate all the guns, and they did not go door to door confiscating guns.
They confiscated less than 20% of the guns.
What they did was put in place extremely rigid, difficult policies to obtain, keep, and use guns.
But those policies failed to keep Australians from buying, keeping , and using guns. There are more gun owners in Australia now than there were then, and just as many legal guns, though not as many legal types of guns.
The favorable flipped to exceed unfavorable between 1994 and 1997...
Now let me think... who was president at that time?
Thinking...
Still thinking...
I know!
Hillary Dianne Rotten!
And her husband!!
Who'da thought?
Think "lampposts..."
I am a life member of AAAAA, and can't do acronyms...
Assault Weapon Ban
Sorry, Assault Weapons Ban of '94. It gave us all a very clear idea of the way the thing was headed, and just how treacherous the gun control side in general and the Clintons in particular, were. The initial spin was that they were working with the NRA to create a "reasonable, common-sense" bill - sound familiar? - anyway, as soon as it passed the spin reversed 180 degrees and it was, "We stood up to the evil NRA and beat them." BJ Billy actually was quoted as saying "I'm going to stretch this as far as I can," and that's exactly what they did.
Now, that left the NRA leadership in a decidedly awkward position, both with its members, who realized full well that they'd been suckered, and with the media, who were definitely using the thing to mock and undermine said leadership with an eye to discrediting the organization. What actually happened was a change in leadership and a hardening of position. And the NRA came out of the thing stronger, more determined, and in the full knowledge that compromise on the issue only led to betrayal.
