Hillary Clinton Unchained: Gun Ban “Worth Looking at”
The New American ^ | October 21, 2015 | Selwyn Duke

Posted on 10/23/2015 1:20:41 PM PDT by detective

Would Hillary Clinton ban guns in the United States? She apparently supported the idea last Friday, but then supposedly dismissed it three days later. It’s the difference between an on- and off-Teleprompter candidate.

During an October 16 town hall meeting at Keene State College, a questioner asked Clinton if we could follow Australia’s lead and ban handguns. She replied that the nation’s confiscation of firearms was a “good example” and was “worth looking at” when formulating U.S. gun policy.

"Chum"? Isn't that chunks of flesh that one throws into the sea in order to attract predators? Could work.

I have no respect for anyone who works in the secret service, FBI, ATF, IRS, DHS, BLM, etc. If I had a family member who worked in such an agency, I wouldn’t speak to them.

Hillary just wants to take the “Gun Salesman of the Year” (7 years in a row) award away from Barry.

I think a lot of people think that way about federal employees assuming they side with employer. A lot don't. They just can't voice or indicate it to anyone or they would their jobs and in this day and age its just better to say nothing. I've worked around a lot of federal employees from many different agencies over the years. If the government declared martial law they would have far more deserters than they think they would. At least that's what my conversations with many of them seem to indicate.

Don’t suppose she has bothered to check crime statistics over in Australia since they made this foolish move,either. I don’t understand why they think they can just set aside the Constitution on matters like this,unless they have never read the Constitution.

I was surprised she said that. Not surprised she thinks it, but that she would be stupid enough to say it. She must know it’s a losing position politically. That’s why her scripted remarks talk about “common sense gun safety laws”. Bill would have known better.

This power-hungry, gun-banning Leftist (but I repeat myself) hasn’t got the first clue about what would happen if she or anyone else ordered gun confiscation. Not one…because the carnage would make the German invasion of the Soviet Union look like two kids playing in a sandbox.

Rough estimates place the number of guns in this country at 300 million when Obama took office, and there have been purchases of new guns of (again, roughly speaking) about 1 million per month since then. Doing the math for those of you who don’t wish to, that means that right now there are something like 380 million guns in this country, owned by probably 100 million – 110 million citizens. Folks here are quite happy to throw around a figure of 3% for the number dedicated enough to true liberty that they’d take up arms against a dictatorial regime, but let’s assume that this figure is too generous, that it is only 1/2 of 1%. OK, that means that there would be roughly 500,000 very dedicated, very well equipped and trained people who would literally be gunning for anyone opposed to their liberties and those of their families. If only 1 in 10 of those people shot 1 cop, 1 anti-gun professor, 1 anti-gun media type, or 1 uber-Leftist acquaintance per month, that’d be 50,000 dead PER MONTH. That’s roughly one Vietnam per month, and one Civil War per year. Note that these are EXTREMELY conservative figures…if 1% resisted (1 million), and 1 in 5 shot someone each month, then you have 200,000 dead/month, and nearly 2.5 million per year. No army in history has withstood those kinds of casualties and prevailed.

There’s an ancient Chinese saying that warns:

“Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.”

Certain habitually-lying, hypocritical, gun-grabbing politicians running for high office should heed that advice.

Well, Hussein Obunghole failed to get CWII started, so maybe she will give it a shot, so to speak.

Every time some leftist proposes a gun ban, we should make a counter proposal to “ban socialism” in the US. If they are smug enough to ask how this is possible, just note for them the known socialist agenda items, advocacy of which should be prohibited.

Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963 (with deletions as no longer applicable, and modifications for current affairs.)

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence (with Iran) as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate (to Iran) in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of whether or not items could be used for war or such trade is not in America’s economic interest.

6. Provide American aid to all nations without any form of quid pro quo.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces, supported with international taxation.

12. Resist any attempt to eliminate socialist programs already in place.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths, national pledges and symbols.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which attack socialism.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression.

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.”

32. Support centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of socialism.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business, charities, foundations and other NGOs.

38. Give the powers of arrest to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition: DSM-5) as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose socialism.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems.

You would have a much better understanding of the situation if you just accepted that she (and I use that term advisedly) and her ilk SIMPLY DON'T CARE about crime or the Constitution, except when they can use them for their own purposes. They are interested ONLY in power, no matter the means of acquiring or keeping it. Understand that, in your bones, and you'll understand why the 2016 election MUST result in a Dem loss if we are to keep what's left of our Republic.

Obama said he would not take or attempt to take our guns i.e. second amendment....Hillary is no different....the Progressives (aka democrat) in this nation are willing to take your right to defend yourselves, make no mistake about it.

What would a fair buy-back program cost with close to 300 million firearms out there in the U.S.?
