Hillary Clinton: 'Of Course' Republicans and NRA Are Complicit in Gun Violence
Time ^ | Oct. 02, 2017

Posted on 10/02/2017 10:22:00 PM PDT by Hadean

Hillary Clinton on Monday criticized Republicans and the National Rifle Association for stopping gun control policies, speaking out after a gunman killed 59 people at a music festival in Las Vegas.

When asked in an interview with the Center for American Progress' Thinking CAP podcast whether Republicans and the NRA are complicit in an epidemic of gun violence, Clinton said "of course they are."

"This is nothing but pure, unadulterated greed motivated by people who want to sell as many guns as they can, to engage in a falsity of fear and rhetoric about why everybody has to have guns," she said, according to an excerpt. The full podcast episode will be released Thursday.

"You know, the evidence is just so clear that more guns do not keep you safer and more guns in the wrong hands lead to terrible incidents," she said.

Clinton criticized the Trump administration, for example, for repealing an Obama-era regulation that stopped certain people with a background of mental illness from obtaining firearms.

"We see the horrors of Las Vegas," she said. "It happens every day."

"You know, the evidence is just so clear that more guns do not keep you safer and more guns in the wrong hands lead to terrible incidents," she said.

Actually, the evidence does clearly show that more guns do keep you more safe and all your proposed legislation is aimed at disarming the right hands, not the wrong hands. talk to us when you're ready to disarm the right people.

In case anyone doubted that ISIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Clinton Inc, a Deep State company.

In every shooting tragedy the filthy democrats are climbing up on the still warm bodies to use the tragedy to push their leftist anti-Second Amendment agenda.

In the ultra-left democrat party of today men with pro-Second Amendment views,
like JFK and Hubert Humphrey, wouldn't even be allowed to run for office as democrats.

As I’ve mentioned in other threads that it would take hundreds of centuries for criminals in the United States (along with a few like Adam Lanza and Dylan Klebold and this guy in Las Vegas) to equal the number killed by Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao in just only one.

Why didn’t they ban machine guns then?

Democrats don't actually want to ban guns - it's one of their best campaign promises.

It's something like perpetual motion , raging against guns brings in big money and votes for them every campaign.

Sort of like the way many republicans ran for years on the false promise of repealing Obamacare when they really didn't mean to do it.

I hate it when a gun is just sitting there, and then it starts to get violent.

I do too! I hate it when I have to rush the kids out of the house because my husband's hunting rifles have managed to unlock themselves, get out of the cabinet, and march up the stairs, looking all angry and mean! LOL!

Hillary is an idiot and I really wish she would just stop talking about every topic under the sun. She apparently cannot retire with grace and spend some time with her family.

Vince Foster was unavailable for comment.

Post of the decade. Congrats, FRiend.

I was going to attach a smiley but it just didn't seem appropriate, given what happened to that man.

Meanwhile this murderer has had armed guards protecting her ignorant sorry ass for decades.
Love to see her in public with NO protection.
Folks would in the least throw rotten jellotto at her.

Once again der Hildebeast spews nothing but lies and unadulterated garbage. For someone to politicize a horribly tragic event like this is someone who has no shame. We have no use for this uncultivated grifter on the world stage.

Its sad that she missed the opportunity to marry Hugh Hefner; they would have made a great couple. About the same age (although he looked younger and more vital), same politics, same views.

“Bye bye gun rights - and the killings will continue of course, and then no one can ever defend themselves properly when that happens.”

Uh, no....nothing’s going to change under DJT, and the gungrabbers know it.

Last year I too was afraid, until I did some research on gun confiscation at the national level. Not even Bammie was willing to risk insurrection and civil war by sending his flying monkeys to start banging on citizens’ doors.

Hillary can go pound sand. She’s irrelevant now.

Does that make the Democrats “complicit” in all of the murders that occur in the cities they run?

4. Hitler was not even in the game. He only killed about 6 million directly

This is not correct, and it's really annoying. The national socialist Hitler killed 5.5 million Christians in the death camps. For some odd reason, he seems to get a pass on killing them. The death toll in the national socialist death camps was 11.5 million.

She needs to get to her real point - that dang Constitution is the real culprit and those who believe in the Constitution are vicious enablers....

Thank God she isn’t our president

Remember, she was supposed to be elected in a landslide. She was the anointed successor to Barack the Magnificent ... I don't know how long ago the perpetrator(s) of this shooting began planning it. I doubt that I will ever know. I doubt we will be told much truth about it. I wouldn't be surprised to find that in truth it was planned more than a year ago, and that the idea of "President Hildebeeste" was part of the planning.
