Another new wrinkle from Hillary Clinton today: she wants a presidential summit on gun control.
That came up in the Q-and-A session of her stop in De Pere, after a woman asked about dealing with shootings such as the Northern Illinois University carnage.
Clinton started with the line she rolled out a couple days ago about recognizing that there is “no conflict” between letting lawful gunowners have weapons and keeping guns out of the hands of bad guys and the mentally ill.
She went on to propose a solution to coming up with a solution for the problem — kind of like her plan to come up with a plan for fixing another politically difficult problem, Social Security.
“I believe we really should have a summit where everybody comes together on all sides of this issue,” Clinton said. “Let’s figure out how we can be consistent with the Second Amendment, which I wholeheartedly support, and do more to keep people safe.
“I think we can do that, but it’s going to require us all to maybe give a little and understand the point of view of the other people,” she said. “That’s something I would do as President to really bring people together.”
“We know we need better background checks and we know we’ve got to have mental health information in there,” she said.
“We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good”
Hillary, the Butcher of Waco, wants what she calls a Gun Summit. That’ll be the day.
Give a little? Who are these "other people"?
Wake Up All Of You McCain Haters,he is the ONLY choice!
And her nose keeps getting longer and longer. ;-)
Look. I detest Hillary too. But, let's not forget that the Slickster was in charge of all those tanks and helicopters then.

Has anyone seen the scene in Braveheart where the child William Wallace enters the barn? You know what I’m getting at?
Hillary, my dead cold fingers.
national summit: generally called for when a liberal’s backbone fails
“We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good”
and yes, that would be your ability to be able to protect yourself...
Another new wrinkle from Hillary Clinton today....
Nice word choice.
Watch for the Catch 22... If you want a gun, this will be proof that you are mentally disturbed and you will not be allowed to own one.
Who does she think she is kidding? Did she say that just to hear the echo in her head?
McCain is unstable and such a liar that one cannot count on anything he does. As for guns, Huckabee would be better.
This is a big reason not to sit out this election.
