Twice failed presidential candidate, Secretary Hillary Clinton, received a consolation prize in San Francisco on Thursday, 14 June, 2018. The award was given by the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence at its 25th-anniversary dinner. The 25th Anniversary dinner seemed premature, as Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was a self-proclaimed strong Second Amendment supporter before her shooting in 2011, only seven years ago. From nbcbayarea.com:
The former U.S. Secretary of State under President Barack Obama spoke at the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence 25th anniversary dinner, where former Rep. Gabby Giffords awarded Clinton the Courageous Leadership Award for her ongoing efforts to strengthen common sense gun laws.Clinton said her gun safety position made her a target of the gun lobby during her campaign for president.”The gun lobby spent about $30 million against me, not having the guts to take on specific gun proposals,” Clinton said. “In fact, their ads had nothing to do with guns. They were just outright lies.”
The disconnect is easily explained. Anti-Second Amendment organizations are constantly undergoing re-branding, as people become wise to their agendas. When banning handguns became unpopular, the push became “gun control”. When “gun control” lost punch, the movement changed to “gun safety”.
The ultimate goal remains the same, while the intermediate and near-term goals are altered. The process is to pass incremental legislation that undermines the Second Amendment and leads to a disarmed population.
25 years ago, in 1993, a group known as the Legal Community Against Violence and as the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence (LCPGV), was formed. In 2017, the name was changed to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. That is how a “Giffords” center,

“Courageous Leadership Award”
It’ll look great on Clinton’s wall, right next to the Margaret Sanger Life Award.
She can place on the wall in her cell.
She sure does get a lot of awards for someone who always comes in second place. Wonder what the winner gets.

I like how these fly by night left wing outfits call themselves “centers” as if they are pulsating epicenters of something important. I have a neighbor who is an egg head ultra left academic type who runs a bull shit consulting operation known as the “ -———— center”. It is publicized on the internet. Turns out the “center” is his house.
She deserves an award for brainwashing a whole segment of society into not understanding the ‘ Clinton Body Count’! Informants are continuing to suffer the fate of untimely demise, which occurs just prior to testimony.
She is like a huge hemorrhoid. A pain in the a$$ and just won’t go away.
“Turns out the ‘center’ is his house.”
Two words: Tax Shelter. Socialists are GREAT at thwarting taxes while spending the hard-earned tax dollars of others!
You forgot the BARF ALERT!!
“I disagree with Sen. Obama’s assertion that people in our country cling to guns and have certain attitudes about trade and immigration simply out of frustration,” ...
“You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught me how to shoot when I was a little girl,” she said.
“You know, some people now continue to teach their children and their grandchildren. It’s part of culture. It’s part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it’s an important part of who they are. Not because they are bitter.”
Minutes later, in a slightly awkward moment, Clinton faced a question from a woman in the audience whose son had been paralyzed by a gunshot. The woman asked Clinton what she would do about gun control as president.
Noting that many hunters and gun collectors want to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals, Clinton referred to her positive childhood experiences with firearms. "As I told you, my dad taught me how to shoot behind our cottage,” she said. “I have gone hunting. I am not a hunter. But I have gone hunting."
Just askin.
All I can say about Hillary is THANK GOD she wasn’t Secretary of the Treasury.
She would be a trillionaire and we would be trying to scrape money together to keep the lights on.
