Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the nation’s gun culture has gotten “way out of balance” and the U.S. needs to rein in the notion that “anybody can have a gun, anywhere, anytime.”
The former Secretary of State and potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said the idea that anyone can have a gun is not in the “best interest of the vast majority of people.” But she said that approach does not conflict with the rights of people to own firearms. …

This is supposed to be a free country, so I fully support Hillary Clinton’s right to want to ban guns. It’s really quite simple, Hillary. Propose a constitutional amendment, pass it with a 2/3 vote in the house and senate, and have it ratified by 3/4 of the states. Alternately, you could try to get the states to hold a constitutional convention, propose your gun ban there, and then have it also go on for ratification by 3/4 of the states.
See? That’s how you properly amend the constitution when you don’t agree with one of its provisions. This process would also prove a clear majority of Americans agree with you. Of course, there’s always the likelihood that most would not support your amendment, but that’s how it works in a democratic republic, Ms. Clinton.
Her right to want it? Maybe. But then, why live here if you don’t like the country as it is?
Got one for each hand, and one for each hand of every member of my family.
We’re Perfectly Balanced...
“...More people have been killed in Fort Marcy Park than by any of my guns....”
More people have been killed by Democrat policies, by drug-addled left-wing psychotics with guns, and by police-state tactics supported by liberals than by ANY of our guns.
Pretty much says it all.
Her mind used to be jello, now it is toast.
Old hag is sickening.
Yeah, out of balance. The criminals have to many and the lawful citizens not enough. Jackwagon, HRC.
first sentence is a total lie.
defeat. you can’t work/negotiate with people like this. must be defeated.
I’m sure shrillary would like Vince Fosters take on this opinion.
"That's what happens in the countries I've visited where there is no rule of law and no self-control and that is something that we cannot just let go without paying attention," she said.
Correction. People who tend to vote DemocRat exhibit little to no self control. Just look at the Rats most reliable voting block, blacks. In practically any inner city in the US where there is a concentration of blacks, there is a corresponding increase in the number of shootings. There are millions of people who legally and responsibly carry a firearm for self protection every single day and far less than 1 in 10,000 get into gun fights over parking spaces and loud music.
“Everyone should own a gun or two.”
Liberals can’t be trusted not to shoot themselves or others.
(”I think again we’re way out of balance. I think that we’ve got to rein in what has become an almost article of faith that anybody can have a gun anywhere, anytime,” Clinton said. “And I don’t believe that is in the best interest of the vast majority of people.)
I’m so glad we have Hillary to tell us what is in our best interest! That’s so much better than having rights from God, or written in a Constitution!
Vince Foster might agree but, I think he shot himself dead a couple of times...
Good Lord in heaven has this woman not read the 2nd amendment? Has she no concept of this? When she reads it what exactly does she think it states?
This is what I utterly detest about liberals. They think they know best. One woman out of a population of 300 million some odd people, thinks she knows whats best for the rest of us. What arrogance!!!!!
off to go bang my head on a table.......
She is wrong.
The nation’s tyrannical Democrat-socialist culture has gotten “way out of balance” and the U.S. needs to rein in the notion that “anybody can be a Democrat or advocate socialism, anywhere, anytime.”
She’s done.
I really hadn’t considered her viewpoint. If I carried a gun on the other side I would be better balanced. I’ll start carrying a second weapon tonight.
