Hillary Clinton goes after Donald Trump, gun lobby

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton attacked Donald Trump's proposals on firearms Saturday as dangerous for America's children, just one day after the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee garnered the endorsement of the National Rifle Association.

"Donald Trump said that in his very first hour as president, heaven forbid, he would overturn President [Barack] Obama's actions to strengthen background checks," Clinton said, speaking at the Trayvon Martin Foundation's "Circle of Mothers" dinner in Fort Lauderdale. "Then, Mr. Trump went further. He said that also on his first day in office he'd mandate that every school in America allow guns in classrooms. Every school, he said. That idea isn't just way out there, it's dangerous."

Where are the transcripts?!

No, no...the ones from the dinner, not the ones from Goldman and other banks.

"That idea isn't just way out there, it's dangerous."

It sure is, to people inclined to bring a gun to school.

[Raycpa]

Gun free zones are deadly.

the only way I can see danger with guns in school is if kids have not been taught to stay away from them, or if needed to respect how to use them in proper situation.

The gun is not the problem, it;s unexpected person showing up in school, or kids acting up, or a teacher out of control, but not the gun at fault.

[bboop]

Gosh Hilary, take on the Second Amendment. Guaranteed to bring you to your knees. In fact, thank you so much.

[digger48]

Same way it does for a President to have ultimate authority over all school restrooms, I guess.

When will the press do their job...

They are doing their job, they propagandize for the liberals.

Oh sure, after a few get hanged, or burned out of their
studios...then they will get religion and have second thoughts.

Let her start by disarming the security detail for both her and Bubba. That is the real test for the phony “Do as I say, not as I do” BS artist.

You asked: "It’s always about the “children,” a tactic used for years. The RATS know nothing but their dinosaur playbook and their pathetic, zombie voters fall for it everytime.' Uncle Adolph answers your question: “The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.” ― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf p.243 ( I think I got the page right)

LOL, she has 24x7 armed Secret Service guards for life. She is so out of touch with regular middle class Americans

[Georgia Girl 2]

Cankles is fast running out of gas.

[OttawaFreeper]

Will she have another big anti gun hypocrite party like the Million Mom March? I remember that repulsive spectacle back in 2000 in which wealthy celebrities like Rosie O’Donnell and others showed up with their armed bodyguards, lectured about us and how evil we are, and then, of course, went home to their mansions and rural compounds that are heavily guarded by armed security. Guaranteed that cost Gore Florida, Tennessee, New Hampshire, West Virginia, and other states big time.

When he’s president, the Secret Service handle for POTUS ought to be ‘Dorothy’

“He is going to beat her like a baby seal.’

No he will beat her like a drum that looks like a baby seal that is hung on the saddle of a mule rented from a red-headed step-child who owns a store selling dirty rugs

Am seeing the same - noticed how the media is desperately trying to carry her water. Flip to any channel and there is always some hack babbling about her "vast experience" and policy ability, to which I always mutter "Such as....?". She cannot keep dodging around trying to phone in her campaign all the way to November. It's a matter of time before she starts getting pinned down.

How many people were there....was there 8,000 or 10,000 folks there? I doubt it!!! Trayvon Martin was nothing but a druggie, teenage, thug, without parental guidance or proper direction!!! End of story!!! Now......having said that, George Zimmerman is no angel either. They both are & were, low life vermin....period!!!

Hillary goes nowhere. Trump will easily beat her, come November, 2016!!! Go Donald J. Trump....Make America Great Again!!!

[toddausauras]

She’s falling into the trump trap.

[Hugin]

What “gun lobby”? There’s a gunowners lobby, the NRA. The lobby for gun manufacturers is the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Did she mention the NSSF?
