Its a mystery to me why she’s picking this fight. Gun ownership esp amoung women is up, gun ownership is at an all time high as is concealed carry plus the push for repeal of NFA. Add to that knife reform and it seems like shes going bare knuckles with a gathering force far bigger than she understands. Its a fight shes (or liberals in general) are going to win. In fact most often theyre on the losing side.

Democrats created gun control. It was first a measure to keep guns from being owned by freed slaves so that other Democrat creation, the Ku Klux Klan, could more easily kill them. Totalitarians like the Communists and Marxists in America, who call themselves Democrats don’t want an armed populace. The reason should be obvious. As Jefferson once observed “An honest statesman need not fear an armed populace’’.

From 1995 to 2012, the Democrats had shied away from public fights with the NRA, because of the severe beating at the polls they took in 1994...Hillary must believe that the demographics have flipped in her favor, and she can attack the NRA...

No, it was actually she and BJ Billy who pooched the thing in '94 by outrageous overreach on the AWB, and she hasn't learned a thing since. Remember "I'm going to stretch this just as far as I can"? Well, she did, and it broke.

This is really more a case of class warfare and identity politics than anything else. She has a tidily identified enemy class in the NRA because it symbolizes a larger, less closely identified class of gun owners who she likes to demonize. She needs the NRA as a focus for hatred. If it didn't exist she'd have to make it up. Now, about the Tea Party...

That’s a major reason why even Bush I lost in 1992, as he promised to sign the Brady Bill if it ever reached his desk (and probably did not philosophically have a problem with other things on with what we knew back then as HCI as their wish list). Much of the pro gun vote either stayed home or went with Ross Perot.

Hillary hasn’t got much else to campaign on. The MSM loves gun control, so there you go. The RATS are reduced to dragging out ex-beauty queens turned criminal and claiming Trump is on cocaine, so they have to appeal to the gun control sissies.

” It is not that the NRA has a direct quote of Hillary Clinton saying that she wants to confiscate all American’s guns in her first term.”

Except we do. I have seen her hold up Australia as a model we should follow. Guess what happened in Australia. That’s right, gun confiscation.
