Chelsea Clinton: Gun Control Opportunity on Supreme Court With Scalia Gone
Chelsea Clinton said Thursday at an event in Maryland that there is now an opportunity for gun control legislation to pass the Supreme Court since Justice Antonin Scalia passed away.
“It matters to me that my mom also recognizes the role the Supreme Court has when it comes to gun control. With Justice Scalia on the bench, one of the few areas where the Court actually had an inconsistent record relates to gun control,” Clinton said. “Sometimes the Court upheld local and state gun control measures as being compliant with the Second Amendment and sometimes the Court struck them down.”
Clinton then touted her mother’s record on gun control issues and knowledge that the Supreme Court has an effect on whether many gun control laws stand.
“So if you listen to Moms Demand Action and the Brady Campaign and the major efforts pushing for smart, sensible and enforceable gun control across our country, disclosure, have endorsed my mom, they say they believe the next time the Court rules on gun control, it will make a definitive ruling,” Clinton said. “So it matters to me that my mom is the only person running for president who not only constantly makes that connection but also has a strong record on gun control and standing up to the NRA.
“This is one of those issues I didn’t know I could care more about until I became a mother. And I think every day about the Sandy Hook families whose children every day, don’t come home from school. And I can’t even imagine that living horror and tragedy.”
Hillary Clinton and her opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders, have routinely sparred over gun control measures during their campaigns. Clinton has an “F” rating from the NRA, and she has routinely tried to hit Sanders from the left during the 2016 campaign.
You’re not even joking. I hope my time on planet earth is up before President Kardashian happens.
She hasn't reached that level yet. Don't think she'll ever be more than an oddity. Her mother looms over her shoulder too heavily.
She seems to have rosacea.

That’s true, but I think she’s working on it. She’s being a lot more public lately.
This is a put-up situation. Chelsea is dumb as the proverbial stump. This has to come from Hitlery!
Is Moms Demand Action the same group which recently, the Texas chapter I believe, called for the execution of permit holders?
She kind of reminds me of Debbie Wasserman Schultz!
Ha, she’s acquiring her mother’s exact same smug tilt of head.
sure-nuff looks like it
looks like a blivet what's ready to bust
It IS NRA members doing all the killings in Chicago right?
Rubber Ducky, you're the one,
You make bathtime lots of fun,
Rubber Ducky,
I'm awfully fond of you;
(woh woh, bee doh!)
Rubber Ducky,
joy of joys,
When I squeeze you,
you make noise!
Rubber Ducky,
you're my very best friend,
it's true!
Dang, those are some BIG teeth.
Her mom would be the same moron that armed Isis from Benghazi, and thinks I should not be able to bear arms, that mom?
That mom is a serial criminal and belongs in jail.

What is little Chelsea doing now? Did “Mom” get her a fat sinecure at the Clinton money laundering foundation?
Do these people just not understand that if they come from the guns, they will get the lead first.
