In terms of individual rights, there has probably never been so much at stake in a presidential election. If Hillary Clinton wins, Americans will soon lose the right of self-defense in their own homes.
Wednesday night in Las Vegas moderator Chris Wallace quickly started off the debate by asking Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton about the Second Amendment. Hillary was asked about her claim: "the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment.”
The 2008 Heller decision struck down Washington, D.C.’s complete ban on handguns. Before the decision, people in the District could own a rifle or a shotgun, it was a felony to load the gun. This amounted to a complete ban on guns, and the Supreme Court said that Washington went too far.
But then, on Wednesday night, Clinton suggested that Wallace had misunderstood her statement.
She explained: "I support the Second Amendment . . . I disagreed with the way the court applied the Second Amendment in that case because what the District of Columbia was trying to do was to protect toddlers from guns. And so they wanted people with guns to safely store them."
But the Supreme Court did nothing at all to stop safe-storage laws. And the Justices that Clinton promises to appoint to the High Court will, in all likelihood, again make it possible for the government to ban guns. . . .

The right will still exist, as it is unalienable. The federal government’s recognition of the right will disappear.
No, she just wants to disarm TODDLERS. She said so. While grinning at Donald. Creepy!

If we let her take the Oath of Office in January, may our children and grand children survive long enough to piss on our graves.
This really is the last roundup as far as elections go. We have a press that reports only the peccadilloes of our side while ignoring serious crimes and malfeasance of their chosen champion. The elections may well be rigged and already decided. If that’s the case. two years.. four years.. it no longer matters, if our side is always guaranteed to lose in presidential races, or if those we elect to Congress are really just wealthy clerks who work for the other side and stand for nothing.
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Eagles up.
Our God given natural rights don’t disappear because liberal fascists and corrupt court clown jesters issue edicts.
Organize open defiance of their unConstitutional laws, do it on capital lawns everywhere. Force them to react. Draw first blood. Then watch what happens.

The will still exist...It’s inalienable. You’ll find the organization designed to enforce recognition of that right (and many others) doing the exact opposite, however.
If the Wicked Witch wins, kiss the entire Bill of Rights Good Bye.
MOLON LABE! BYOBB
We need two countries. How long do we except this insanity? There is to much hatred and the only answer is divorce.
If the worst happens, I want for Preezy Hillary to command us on the following day, “Mr. & Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in, or there will be hell to pay!!”
Go ahead, Hilly Boo Boo....make my day.

The right of self-defense is a natural right.
It is not granted by the government, and it cannot be taken away by the government.

Look to NY and CT to see how the majority of American gun owners will respond if she gets her way.
