Hillary's Anti-gun Stance Becomes Clearer Thanks to WikiLeaks
The New American ^ | 24 October 2016 | Bob Adelmann

Posted on 10/24/2016 9:33:17 PM PDT by detective

The tens of thousands of e-mails released by WikiLeaks over the last month have removed all doubts, if any still existed, that Hillary Clinton and her campaign will go to any lengths to erase the Second Amendment's protection of the right of individual citizens to keep and bear firearms. That includes, but is not limited to, using executive orders to undermine the Second Amendment. One e-mail in particular showed how closely Clinton’s campaign staff works with a compliant media and what Clinton intends to do if she is elected president. Wrote a Clinon staffer in the e-mail:

Circling back around on guns as a follow up to the Friday morning discussion: the Today show has indicated they definitely plan to ask about guns, and so to have the discussion be more of a news event than her previous times discussing guns, we are going to background reporters tonight on a few of the specific proposals she would support as President — universal background checks of course, but also closing the gun show loophole by executive order and imposing manufacturer liability.

This information must be intended for people coming out of decades-long comas or aliens studying human politics.
Everyone else knows exactly what that ***** wants to do.

Manufacturer liability is the nuclear weapon against the firearms and ammo industries.

Manufacturer liability is the nuclear weapon against ALL industries. What she plans would cripple manufacturing far beyond the firearms industry. Hell, what company - domestic or foreign - would even risk selling their products in our market? Automobiles, appliances, you name it - gone.

And once she’s packed the courts, citizens will have no hope of redress. The looney activist judges she would appoint would welcome the opportunity to wipe out 2A.

We had best make sure we get Trump elected.

If there is no recourse at the ballot box or the jury box, the cartridge box is the final resort.

I wonder what the contingency plan would be for 1,000,000 people showing up armed at DC to contest any illegal executive orders?

Right now there are a handful of states that have very restricted 2A rights. Those states have gone off the deep end and their only hope is relief from SCOTUS.

I shudder to think what CA will look like with a Hillary activist court.

She sounds just as reassuring as Obozo claiming that his healthcare plan is going to save you money and you can keep your doctor. When Hillary dies they have to contact a power company to drill a vertical hole as they do when planting a new power pole and then screw her in to the ground, as if they burry her in a normal fashion, she is too crooked to ever lay flat.

First thing to remember is that Hillary is the biggest liar to ever get within 5 mil3es of the White House.

Second thing to remember is she’s been there already, and left the place a mess with $170,000 of stolen furnishings.

Next, look into her past. The first time I saw her doing a speech, it was truing to get the Brady Bill passed, which at the time was still in its original form, and would have banned everything except some shotguns, and maybe a few single shot rifles. Nothing semi auto at all, no handguns at all, and Hillary was all over it.

It was finally watered down to a few regulations that got us the existing background checks, and Hillary was seriously disappointed.

Now, she’s saying we should look to Australia, where gun control has been a disaster. She says she doesn’t want to take guns? She also said she never sent or received any classified emails. She said she only used one device. She said Benghazi was because of a video. She said she landed in Bosnia under sniper fire. She said they left the White House dead broke. She says Trump’s wall is a bad idea but her house has one.

Should I believe one word that sleazy pathological liar ever says? Not on your life. I’ll stand outside in a thunderstorm holding a 10 foot metal pole before I’ll believe one word she says.

“Manufacturer liability is the nuclear weapon against the firearms and ammo industries.”

If that stands there will be no doubt that we have ceased to be a constitutional republic, a nation of laws, and have become a dictatorship. With that, all bets are off.

“.....Hillary Clinton and her campaign will go to any lengths to erase the Second Amendment’s protection of the right of individual citizens to keep and bear firearms.”...........

Has there really ever been any doubt? Where would one have to be hidden to NOT know this is their intention?

Especially with guns.

In all other products the danger is incidental. With guns the danger is inherent, as thats the point of them.

The activists insist that gun manufacturers would be liable for any damage caused with their product. If some gangbanger used a Ruger to shoot another gangbanger Ruger could be sued, as in the Connecticut case recently thrown out, because of the law shielding them from this sort of liability. It is of course impossible to prevent your products being misused twenty years later.

Without that law, everyone in the business would be driven from it both through lawfare and lack of insurance.

CLINTONS LIE. Learn it. Know it. - DHIMMICRATS LIE.
Politics are dirty. When the House of Representatives
wanted to REMOVE the Clintons during the young intern
fiasco. Bill kept lying and lying and lying UNTIL he was
FORCED to tell the truth. IF the Senate had then had the
COURAGE to do what they needed to do with the CLINTONS; we
would surely not be facing the specter of the CLINTONS
to this day!

I suspect Bill WAS held by the shorthairs by foreign
governments BEFORE the TRUTH finally came out. (Some
foreign “visitors” did “observe” some of our more
sensitive nuclear facilities during that time.) Bill
even bombed an aspirin factory in Iraq to take the
spotlight off him. - I don’t wish anyone dead; but
retired? Yes. Retire the decrepit Clintons.

Even IF TRUMP isn’t elected; he’s not going to be the
one to suffer much, unless the Clintons are allowed to
vent their venom on him. Even at that, they will be like
annoying insect bites more than anything. TRUMP will
still be as rich as Cresus, sorry the American people
have gone over the cliff and doubled down on stupid, but
still he will be RICH and very blessed with good kids and
family in general and riches out the wazoo. WE are the
ones left to suffer more Clinton foolishness.

I will say that IF Hitler-y gets my S&W revolver that
my great-great grandfather left to us; she better bring
herself some help. FANG has said that if they come after
his guns, they MIGHT kill him, but he is for damned sure
gonna take a few of them with him when he goes. Ditto.

Hillary will push an Australian style gun grab and will not be content to just cripple gun manufacturers. She might succeed in shutting off the manufacturing and sale of new guns, but that would not be enough and she would have to move to confiscate existing guns.
