Possible 2016 candidate wades into politically charged issue.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lashed out at opponents of gun control regulations Tuesday, saying they hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of Americans.
We cannot let a minority of people, and thats what it is, it is a minority of people, hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people, Clinton said during a live CNN town hall. The comments were Clintons deepest foray into an exceedingly controversial political subject since leaving the State Department last year.
I was disappointed that the Congress did not pass universal background checks after the horrors of the shootings at Sandy Hook, she said in response to a question from a school teacher in the audience. I dont think any parent, or any person should have to fear about their child going to school or going to college because someone for whatever reason, psychological, emotional, political, ideological, whatever, could possibly enter that school property with an automatic weapon and murder innocent children, students, teachers.
I will speak out [on this subject] no matter what role I find myself in, Clinton pledged, referring to her consideration of a presidential bid in 2016.
The outspoken position on gun control legislation is a clear appeal to the overwhelming majority of Americans who support expanding background check requirements before gun purchases, but its sure to inflame gun rights activists and the National Rifle Association, which blocked legislation in the Senate last year. It could also backfire by alienating moderate gun owners.
Responding to Sundays apprehension of Ahmed Abu Khatallah, allegedly a key figure in the 2012 attacks on an American consulate in Benghazi, Clinton said she hoped questioning would reveal more about what happened on the ground on the night of the attack....

Terror?I'll Show You Terror ...
No, what she said is Americans with guns are terrorists.
I smell Eric Holder behind nonsense like that.
Hillary The Malignant “terrorizes” America and Free Americans with her vacuous spew.
I just caught a few seconds of the Princess during a TV interview and she mentioned how unfair it is to women that all men do while showering is “shaving” or something to that degree compared to the routine of women. The sheeple laughed. Get ready for showering is sexist 2016.
Liberals
1. When they advocate a majority position - “Don’t listen to our opponents —they’re a MINORITY..”
2. When they advocate a minority position - “If you don’t support the position of the minority, YOU ARE HEARTLESS ”
HRC makes statements like this because the Dem party has looked at the political landscape and determined they will be running unopposed in 2016. In general, the past 2 years, the Dems have been open about their extremism and have been operating as if they are a one-party government. They have seen the lack of consequences associated with the Fast-and-Furious, IRS, and Benghazi situations. They see that the reaction from Americans is minimal. The MSM will suppress information and tout the Dems. The R-party is extremely timid, wanting only personal security among a few high-level R-party figures.
The Dem party has a clear road ahead and HRC can say anything she wants. She has a near lock on the USSC, too, going forward. There is insufficient opposition to her, despite her extremely poor record. She has seen how BHO has been able to run a quasi-dictatorship with negligible consequences. She will be the “first woman president” and figures that is sufficient to win and take control.
are her armed guards bottles of water and toilet paper ?
What a moron! It’s the MINORITY of lawful gun owners that keeps the REST safe, because criminals don’t know which of us is armed!!
Shut up.
We only terrorize democrats who shit in their pants when a three year old kid points his finger at them and says bang.
:)Eat the right eye first.
Is this an editorial? 'Cause if the writer meant it to be a story, his bias is hanging out there for all to see!
Goodness!
In those pictures she really does look a bit insane or maybe a little like “The Joker”.
That left lower photo looks so much like my ex-wife that it “terrorizes” me for about 10 seconds each time I see it.
We had a shooting here in East Peoria, IL a few days ago. A man entered a sports bar and shot his ex-wife and her new boyfriend. Then, an off-duty FBI agent shot the first shooter — 3 dead. Common citizens can’t bring concealed weapons into bars in this state. This is clearly a case where gun control worked. The terror comes from the criminals, not citizens willing to defend themselves.
“deserves to live in a communist, brimstone-and-fire hellhole.”
You mean like Detroit, LA, Pittsburg, DC, Atlanta, Boston, Miami, Portland, Seatle, San Fran Sicko..... Need I go on?
‘Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lashed out at opponents of gun control regulations Tuesday, saying they hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of Americans.’
So says the woman surrounded by armed Secret Service agents 24 hours a day.
