This is apparently not the first time she said this, I heard about it long ago.

Hillary was also one of the people doing speeches in favor of the Brady bill while slick Willie was in office, that’s the first time I ever saw one of her speeches.

Anybody ever read the Brady Bill? I did, be very glad it got watered down and nothing but a 10 year ban on “assault rifles” came of it. No true assault rifle is sold in the US without a permit anyway, you have to get a permit for automatic weapons first.

Anyway, the Brady Bill in its original form, would have banned everything but non self loading (semi automatic) shotguns and I think a few single shot rifles, mostly .22 caliber. (don’t remember that point but I think a few single shot rifles were excepted) All handguns would have been banned, period. All self loading or semi automatic firearms would have been banned, and most rifles.

That’s the world Hillary wants. She also said she thought we should look to what Australia did for a solution to the “gun violence” problem. Australia implemented a mandatory government buy back, if you didn’t sell your guns back to the government, they would confiscate them.

I think that you’re a bit confused. The Brady bill and the (so-called) Assault Weapons Ban were 2 different things. Brady affected everyone’s ability to obtain firearms, and created many restrictions. It is STILL the law today.

The AWB “merely” limited semi-auto rifles with box magazines and certain other characteristics (along with the magazines themselves). It is no longer the law, having thankfully expired in 2004. BTW, if the Dems ever get enough power, expect that they will pass a FAR more restrictive law, one with NO expiration date. It will likely be an actual ban, much like NJ has had since 1990.
