Hillary Compares The NRA To ‘The Iranians And Communists’ [VIDEO]

Hillary Clinton took aim at the National Rifle Association in Iowa on Wednesday, hitting the group for what she claims is its “absolutist” stance on gun rights and comparing it to “the Iranians and Communists.”

Clinton drew the connection to the gun rights group and murderous tyrants after a woman in the audience at a town hall meeting in Mount Vernon noted that President Obama seemed defeated during his remarks on gun control following last week’s mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore.

Flying chairs stop bullets and hurt the shooters who then can’t aim.

Carson’s right.

The killer has less time to take perfect aim if he’s being rushed. Doctors can do a lot with a wounded person... not so much with someone shot in the head at point blank.

Also if someone says ‘get in the car or I’ll shoot you’ - you have a much better chance living if you run - even if the person shoots you. Anyone who goes to the secondary crime site will likely be tortured before being murdered.

She is as cynical as any politburo member, besides being a doubleplusgood duckspeaker with a voice like fingernails on slate.

I wouldn’t charge. I would maintain a firm stance with my feet planted even with my shoulders, both arms extended forward in a triangle, both hands clutching some steel and polymer.

That’s right. Use any and all available tools.

Gov. John Kasich was just on Fox. He said he trusts the First Responders to handle situations. Idiot.

On the other hand, if the attacker is not in the room, absent enough awareness of the tactical situation to plan an escape by a route avoiding the attacker's line of sight, shelter-in-place while planning an ambush should the attacker enter your room is probably a reasonable plan.

Yes, of course.

When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.

Of course it takes about the most mild-mannered guy currently in public life to make this point.

You know, I wondered the same thing. Why did they all stand there waiting for their turn? Distract him/throw something. Charge at him.

“THIS IS A GUN FREE HOME” signs for the front and back of

their homes but they always turn me down.

Right after the shooting stops, and the all clear is given

“The key word here is “group.” The sad stories of mass shootings are replete with tales of individual heroism, of the one man who charged the attacker only to be shot down. In Oregon, Chris Mintz resisted and was shot multiple times.

At Fort Hood, Captain John Gaffney reportedly died charging Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan.

But where one man fails, two or three can succeed — just ask Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos, and Anthony Sadler, the three American men who foiled an August terrorist attack on a French train.”

Carson thinks he can turn himself into Superman??...faster than a speeding bullet....the result would be everyone killed in less than two seconds.

If we teach “Let’s Roll” as a universal command for all similar situations and it’s successful in any , it might deter more idiots from getting ideas

He said that he wanted to “plant the seed in people’s minds so that if this happens again they don’t all get killed.”

It's amazing how that same thought must have passed through the minds of the three American guys on that French train...or the "Let's roll" folks on the 9/11 plane over Pennsylvania. And what was the Idiot Media response to those two incidents?
