The Note: How Hillary Clinton Would Tackle Gun Control
ABC News ^ | October 5, 2015 | Michael Falcone

Posted on 10/05/2015 9:10:00 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

TODAY IN THE GRANITE STATE: Less than one week after the deadly shooting at the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, Hillary Clinton is set to propose a series of gun control measures she would enact if elected president, ABC's LIZ KREUTZ reports. Clinton's plan, which she plans to unveil at campaign events in New Hampshire today, comes two days after the Democratic presidential candidate blasted Republicans for putting "the NRA ahead of American families," and just hours after her Democratic challenger, Martin O'Malley, called on both Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to back his plan to reduce gun violence, which he announced last month.

--WHAT CLINTON'S PLAN WOULD DO: Clinton's plan will continue calls for universal background checks and for the ban of military-style assault weapons from the streets. In addition, it will call for a crackdown on the sale of guns on the Internet and at gun shows -- something Clinton will say she will even take executive action to do. It will also push for legislation to prevent gun sales from going through without completed background checks (dubbed the "Charleston Loophole"), and for legislation to prohibit domestic abusers and stalkers from buying and possessing guns. And it will call for repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, in order to make sure dealers and manufacturers are held accountable for negligence when crimes are committed with products they've sold....

I wonder how she’d feel about this weekends bi-annual Beast Feast and Gun Raffle at our local Moose Lodge.

Usually 15 to 20 different guns raffled off or won on tip boards. I won a pretty nice SKS last year on a $10 card draw.

(FFL holder on site the whole time with a stack of 4473s.)

How do you buy a gun on the Internet? I want to try that.

www.gunbroker.com

ALL internet gun purchases are shipped to a Federal Firearms License dealer where all the rest of the legal requirements are on the FFL dealer to complete the transaction.

She won’t be.

Remember, the Clinton’s have a large number of FBI files on most of the top players in Washington.

She will likely be president. The GOPe would rather give the election to Clinton than have Trump get the job. Part of me thinks Jeb will join forces with her on a Unionist platform.

Go to foxnews.com. Hillary literally calls for gun confiscation on the Today show.

Hillary stated that “if anything else was causing the deaths of 30K people every year, the people would be rising up to have it eradicated. Some facts no one is “rising up” to stop.

Nearly 500K deaths per year are directly attributed to cigarettes (including 2nd hand smoke). But it’s legal.

Nearly 5K Americans are killed by unlicensed, illegal aliens each year (how many rapes murders can we add to that number?)

100K Americans die each year from prescription drugs be it accidental overdose or deadly side effects.

Hillary? Anything to say on that?

I fear that you are right. Washington D.C. is totally corrupt with no distinction between political parties.

Bill & Hillary’s tentacles are everywhere.

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz chooses to stand up against the corrupt machine & Rand Paul denounces him as “the most hated man in the Senate”. That’s how ingrained the culture of corruption is within the Beltway.

So it looks like Her Buttness waddles into the WH in 2017. Hillary will be out for some serious revenge, then.

“She will likely be president.”

I sure hope not.

BTW, anyone besides me notice the botox look she had during her anti-gun speech? She could barely move her face and we all know how animated she tries to be during speeches. She looked so puffed up it was scary.

In a sane world, part of the gun-buying calculus would be whether a specific model was eligible for free Prime shipping on Amazon.

“Yep...that plan will go on the Almost Worked list...”

Or on the “Things That Started A War” list.

You could be right, of course, but that’s what EVERYBODY was saying 8 years ago: “No human in the history of the world, not even Jesus, can compete with Hillary because she has those FBI files. She is as inevitable as the sun rise.” And then, a 12 year old punk, a foreigner, who had been in the senate since noon, stomped her guts in. She is NOT inevitable.

Apparently President Hillary expects to inherit Obama’s magic Executive Order dictator’s wand, because if Congress won’t change the law to meet her desires, she’s gonna wave that magic wand and change the law herself; after all, most people don’t realize there’s a tiny bit of fine print in the U.S. Constitution that gives U.S. Presidents the right to make their own laws whenever Congress won’t cooperate.

I hope this kills her chances once an for all.

I hope everyone taking a poll on her nonsensical ramblings says, “I'd rather not be a sitting duck for thugs, thieves, or a corrupt government.”

What about all the people who are killed by drunk drivers every year?

Where are all the calls to ban the sale and possession of beer, wine, and distilled liquors? Where are the calls to close the wineries, breweries, and facilities that make distilled liquors?

What about the 100,000+ patients who die every year because of mistakes made by doctors? Should we ban doctors?

Screw off, Hitlery.

Semi-automatic rifles are on the street?

I’ve been on many streets in my life. I’ve got to look harder, because I’ve never seen an “assault weapon” on the street.

Tends to wonder why she brought that up. According to Hillary that’s a problem.

Keeps everybody honest. (Excellent!)

IMHO
