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. Lets 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 its going to require us all to maybe give a little and understand the point of view of the other people, she said. Thats something I would do as President to really bring people together.
We know we need better background checks and we know weve got to have mental health information in there, she said.
And gassing them into a hideous death was the answer?
Since when do we gas people with military tanks?
All of you @ssholes who call us “haters” are making us more determined to not vote for him. McCain thinks I’m a bigot because I don’t want open borders. McCain is funded by George Soros. I don’t HATE McCain . . . but I absolutely will not vote for a person who calls me bigot and is in Soros’s back pocket.
If you like being called a bigot and don’t mind supporting Soros’s bid to destroy America, that’s your business, no matter how stupid you are I won’t say anything.
Shut up, Hillary. Sure, if there had been better gun control, all those folks you and Bill know who were either murdered or who “committed suicide” wouldn’t have died.
Then he better do something to break out, right? If he can’t garner the support of conservatives, maybe he shouldn’t be running.
After “summit” meetings come “commissions”. While summits have photo ops and press releases, there is little else. Summits allow the pol to join the discussion for a few minutes, also when the press is allowed in. After a few sound bites are uttered, the pol always excuses themselves to attend to “other urgent business”, never to return. Summits last a day or two.
Commissions, on the other hand meet several times, sometimes for several hours at a sitting. Someone is tasked with collecting the position papers to be included in the commission’s report to the pol who formed it. On the last day of the last meeting, the commission “delivers” its report to the pol in front of the cameras who delivers the sound bites, pounds the podium and thanks the commission members who were left. After the pol promises to “implement” the “recommendations” of the commission, the report then takes its place on the shelf along with all the other commission reports with outstanding promises.
Been there, done that.
It's gonna get higher...
apparently you have no knowledge of what happened or you would not be saying that.
Their bodies were contorted by convulsions induced by levels of the gas far higher than there should have been.
And there was no proof of molestation, only accusations.
You need to get up to speed on Waco before you make a fool out of yourself.
I more enivision, instead of hanging, Hillary would have personally eaten the throat out of the attendees.
Her Heinous is hallucinating. Her Heinous will say any damn thing that pops into her head. She’s winging it
In her dreams.
There’s no doubt in my mind that child (now teenager) wakes up every night in some HOT, rickety, old timber shanty, moonlight shining through the boards in the roof, drenched in cold sweat with his heart racing after dreaming of the Klinton’s SS.
I want a pony.
The answer is to enforce that already thousands of guns laws on the books. Then decide what needs doing next. Just trying to save you time in your busy schedule.
Oh and please say "Hi" to my good buddy Doug next week.
Sincerely,
Mad
