Hillary Clinton said she was not interested in taking away guns from Americans during her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, in spite of her past comments on the issue.
"If were serious about keeping our country safe, we also can't afford to have a president who's in the pocket of the gun lobby," Clinton said in her speech. "I'm not here to repeal the Second Amendment. I'm not here to take away your guns. I just don't want you to be shot by someone who shouldn't have a gun in the first place."
"We should be working with responsible gun owners to pass common-sense reforms and keep guns out of the hands of criminals, terrorists, and all others who would do us harm."
However, during the 2016 campaign, Clinton has privately indicated she does not believe the Supreme Court was right in acknowledging the Second Amendment protects and individual right to own firearms and publicly supported Australias mandatory gun buyback program.

Just put a period after all others. No, don't snip off the Clinton-speak at the end. We all know who the "us" is in "...who would do us harm".
It's easy enough to see from all her previous statements. She wants to disarm anyone who would stand against *her* and her supporters. Criminals and terrorists are just the excuses to make this move.

Just read that Clintoon’s toads in the DNC national state controlled “media” have given Clintoon a “post-convention” 6 point lead over Trump. I wonder how many morons in this country actually believe that liberal BS.

Lying Hillary, or Crooked Hillary?

Outside of not being elected, the only think that would keep a “President Clinton” from not taking firearms away from people would be a strong Republican House and Senate.

Not interested in getting the coal industry eliminated and putting those miners out of bidness either right

As if we actually need another reason to reject her and the leg-humping horndog attached to her, recall that in 1992 they promised a “middle class tax cut,” followed by their reneging in the first official announcement after being elected. If they’re talking they’re lying.

As she could accomplish anything - okay, start in Chicago. If you can get all those illegal guns off the streets then maybe I’ll start believing what you say. Or do.

It is simply NOT in the GOP DNA. The GOPee is much more comfortable being in the minority and IMHO that is where they will be in the Senate come Nov 10.
I wish it weren't so, but they have the odds against them and they did it partially to themselves by making promised and reneging on every single ONE.

Did she also say she would laugh up that $250.00 annual savings we were promised under ObamaCare?

Clinton Says She Wont Take Guns AwayOf course not. She'll have government goons do it for her.
To: archy
I’d say she is fully consumed with the enrapturing desire to take away all guns from Americans.

Christianity has taught from the get-go that “the lie” is the weapon most often used by Satan. What a coincidence!

Christianity has taught from the get-go that the lie is the weapon most often used by Satan. What a coincidence!I did not know that. Thank you very much. The anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life criminal and Satan appear to be one in the same.
Examine each individual.
