She will attack on several fronts:
1. A Supreme Court ruling stating that a well regulated militia means the National Guard and State & Local Police Agencies have the right to keep and bear arms on behalf of their citizens for the purpose of maintaining order and that there is no individual right to own a firearm although if a citizen can demonstrate a legitimate need he can apply to his local government and they can determine if the citizen should be allowed a firearm. This only after after entry into the Federal data base and agreement to warrant less spot home inspections regarding proper storage and separate locked cabinets for the weapon and ammunition.
2. Allow law suits with punitively excessive financial penalties to put the gun manufacturers into Federal Court receivership which will allow the Federal government to be the sole manufacturer of arms and ammunition and to have complete control of all channels of distribution.
Stoke of the pen law of the land!Pretty cool huh?

Clinton frequently calls for new gun safety measures...

Smokescreen language. Anytime someone puts it in terms of "...safety..." or "...common sense gun laws..." etc. it is complete and utter BS. Study after study shows that private gun ownership improves safety, while places with the most restrictive "gun control" laws are the least safe. The so-called common sense laws are mere stepping stones to complete bans and confiscation.

Look, even the dullest politicians, the most ardent socialists, the most committed fascists out there - like Clinton or bammy - know that to attempt to ban private firearms ownership or confiscate firearms in a single step would ignite a second civil war. The resulting insurgency against the fascists, in our varied terrain, with the number of private firearms, and the amount of information available would make Iraq look like a Church picnic.

So they know they cannot ban private firearms - yet. But they can chip away with ineffective "gun control" laws. "All we need to do is restrict A and we'll be safer..." All the while knowing this idiocy is completely ineffective. Then "There's still too much violence, we need to ban A..." Well duh, you're disarming the law-abiding while criminals get an ever more helpless potential victim pool... "Still too much violence, we need to restrict B...ban B...restrict C...ban C..." Where if you look around the Country and the world you see A, B, C, etc. can be any combination of things like magazine capacity, handguns, semi-automatics, "assault weapons," pistol grips, removable magazines, "universal" background checks... Just chip chip chipping away... All part of the plan.

...as she reassures law-abiding Americans their firearms won’t be targeted under her would-be administration...

Of course not. But once they pass a law or implement an executive order, people owning those firearms are no-longer "law-abiding" they are now in criminal violation - and targeted.

While many Democrats long have been labeled as anti-gun, firearms advocates say Mrs. Clinton’s position is especially disingenuous.

"Especially disingenuous..." Oh, that's the funniest thing I've read all day! (yeah, it's early) Clinton is provably a lying POS that can't be trusted with pocket change.

“...agreement to warrantless spot home inspections regarding proper storage...”

As it is in U.K. But we don’t have parliamentary dictatorship like the Brits & Ozzies do, and passing such a law even with a Democrat majority in the U.S. would be extremely difficult. Passing a national gun registration law would be even more unfeasible.

Hillary thinks she will be the Omnipotent Preezy, but she won’t. She should ask Obama how eight years of ruling with his pen & phone have worked out. In the case of gun control, not at all, zero, zip, nada.

Any bets on how many days in office before she orders the BATFE to institute universal confiscation...?

i do not like the term gun right, which is being transformed into a pejorative by liberals and separated from other human rights. It should be a civil right, as in “armed defense civil right.”
