Hillary: Impose Gun Control by Judicial Fiat

By David T. Hardy

It’s no news that Hillary Clinton is against guns (except those in the hands of people who protect the high and mighty) and enthusiastically in favor of restricting gun owners. When it gets down to specifics, her position does become vague, with some exceptions. One of those exceptions stands out only because of its obscurity.

Hillary really, really, wants to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. The PLCAA essentially protects gun manufacturers and gun dealers from being sued unless, well, they have done something wrong. It’s a perfectly simple standard that would apply in any other field of human endeavor.

The reason for the PLCAA’s enactment was simple. As law professor Timothy Lytton wrote, before PLCAA was enacted: “By 2000 gun litigation was regularly front-page news, and manufacturers faced potentially bankrupting industrywide liability exposure as a result of suits by dozens of individual victims, over thirty cities, and the State of New York.” These suits were based upon various elaborations of the argument that “guns are used in crime, and so gun manufacturers should pay for what criminals have done.” Some sought to impose liability even where no one could prove what gun criminals had used: the theory was that all gun makers should pay for all gun crime, in proportion to their annual production level.

Hillary’s focus on repealing the PLCAA seems strange: it’s been on the books for eleven years, it was passed by 2-1 bipartisan majorities (65-31 Senate, 283-144 House), and every suit it has blocked is one that should never have been filed. Yet oppose it Hillary does. Her campaign webpage proposes to “Take on the gun lobby by removing...

The emerging fact is that this b!tch is not going to be able to do ANY of it because she will lose - convincingly.

She stated she doesn’t care about “changing hearts and minds” just make a law and force behavioral change.

This doesn’t have to be repealed, merely overthrown by the Supreme Court in a 5/4 decision.

If Hillary wins, we’ll never see honesty again.

Our moral fabric as a nation will be irreversibly torn, and our Constitution will be lost. This is literally for the future of the nation now.

When my Grandfather told me stories of how the Nazi’s came to power in Germany, I used to wonder how an educated nation could fall for such ridiculous bullschit. I don’t wonder about that anymore, I’ve been watching it, in real time.

She’ll wind up in a cell making little statuettes of herself out of her own poop and bits of corn.

Even if she were to win, who the hell would follow the dictates of a criminal?

Could you imagine how unbearable she would be to all around her? I think she would inflict a coma upon herself first.

When Trump wins, Clinton can have her own safe space in a welcoming federal prison.

“Our moral fabric as a nation will be irreversibly torn, and our Constitution will be lost. This is literally for the future of the nation now.”

Too bad the #NeverTrumpters like George Will, who recently stated he hopes for a Hillary landslide victory, don’t understand that.

Or maybe they do and they just don’t care.

Also, we can start calling her “Shackles” instead of “Cankles.”

We are no longer an educated society. The Government run schools have spent the past 40 years doing everything possible to remove true education from public schools and supplant that with political indoctrination and they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

A vast majority of children are now indoctrinated rather than educated.

When you’ve been promised a high position in the SS, why would you care?

Lee Arrendale State Prison and Pulaski State Prison comes to mind regarding her new address. Home to amongst the worst of the worst violent female convicts.
