Sheesh. Where to start. A lot to work with here from her learning to shoot as a kid and duck hunting and championing the 2nd amendment to alienating SOME gun owners to time mag itself. Have at it. After all, it's all about the tradition of having guns to hunt. :>}

Feminists are big on gun ownership. Guns are the great equalizer.

Hillary, we already have gun control laws. Lots of them. You saying we need more? Get the people who don’t obey the laws we already have.

Her gun-grabbing bullcrap will cost her a number of states, just like it cost Al Gore Tennessee and Arkansas (Bill Clinton told Al Gore this is why he, Al Gore, lost).

Is this gerbalist attempting to express a thought here?
“Even though her approach alienates many gun owners.”

I’m not giving Time magazine a hit.

Frankly, theyre on to something here. Many hunters esp those who are liberals love this stuff. They arent ‘gun guys’ nor do they care about freedoms. All they care about is being able to hunt. Theyre most likely to sell out others for a promise that hunting wont be touched. What they fail to understand is theyre next on the list to get whacked. Over the years theyve reliably played the role of ‘useful idiot’.

Hitlary was a big fan of Hitler. When she was first lady of Arkansas she bought copies of Mein Kampf and passed them out as Christmas gifts. And, he loved gun control as we all know.

She said that she wanted to join the Marines too. That is definitely a gun free zone.

Hey Trump, I know your people read FR. Why don't you vet this to make sure, and then publicly ask Hillary about it.

“””Seven years ago... she boasted of duck hunting and championed the Second Amendment.”””

She is a professional politician.
Her answer to any question depends on who is asking and what the polls suggest is the best answer.
She is hardcore left campaigning right now... appealing to her left base.
After the primary, every stance on every issue will change and move center to try to appeal to center independents.

She is a chameleon. She adapts to her surroundings. After doing it for so many years, she can shoot a lie right out of her mouth without even thinking about it and it will be whatever you want to hear. The next person with the same question will get a different answer that they want to hear. Its second nature to her.
I don’t think she even knows how she stands anymore.

They ALWAYS bring up ‘HUNTING’ as a smokescreen for the REAL reason for the 2nd Amendment, namely TO PROTECT US FROM GOVERNMENT TYRANNY, not huntin’ ducks.......................

Without contradicting any of her policy positions from 2008, Clinton is helping shape the national debate about firearms

Gee, this author isn't biased at all...

” national debate about firearms”. Well, I do sometimes debate on whether or not I prefer to use my .38 super or my 9mm. But I don’t go national with it.

It will win for her in the primaries when her base is voting.
After the primaries, her stance will change.

No politician is dumb enough to think staunch gun control, up to and including confiscation, is going to win any general national election.

She will move toward center during the general campaign. She’s not stupid.

* Feminists are big on gun ownership. Guns are the great equalizer. *

Odd that Hilary, who pretends to be a champion of women would like more women shot by thugs that don’t care about any laws rather than allow them to defend themselves.

Odd only when you try not to think about how a Socialist government runs roughshod over the citizens once they are the only ones with the guns...
