If Clinton wins, America, kiss your right to self-defense good-bye
Fox News ^ | October 20, 2016 | John R Lott Jr

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. . . .

Here under the Cone of Silence I can reveal the true meaning of the acronym, Chief.

Hillary’s way to disarm toddlers is to make sure they never become toddlers, all the way up to nine months.

It was a take off on an Abraham Lincoln quote that apparently went right over your head.

Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth. Abraham Lincoln

The purpose of the second amendment isn’t to protect the right of self defense or the right to hunt game animals.

“It was a take off on an Abraham Lincoln quote that apparently went right over your head.”

Yes, mangled paraphrasing does that to me.
