On Guns, Clinton Runs Both Left and Right, Depending on Her Audience
National Review ^ | April 25, 2016 | John R Lott Jr

Posted on 04/25/2016 12:27:13 PM PDT by richardb72

What does Hillary Clinton really believe on guns? This year, she is running to the left of Bernie Sanders. In 2008, she ran well to the right of Obama, arguing against any kind of federal “blanket rules.”

On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton gave an address at Philadelphia’s St. Paul’s Baptist Church. With a nod to Pennsylvania’s high rate of gun ownership, she declared: “There is a Second Amendment, there are constitutional rights. We aren’t interested in taking away guns of lawful, responsible gun owners.”

But in New York City in the fall, she told donors: “The Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment, and I am going to make that case every chance that I get.” In Maryland last Thursday, Chelsea Clinton reiterated that point, promising that her mom would appoint to the Supreme Court justices who would overturn past decisions that struck down local and state gun-control measures. Given that the only laws that the Supreme Court has objected to are complete gun bans or laws that made it a crime to chamber a bullet, one wonders what “constitutional rights” Clinton was talking about preserving in Philadelphia. . . .

Hillary's position on all matters regarding both your rights and your property is very consistent:

I’m waiting for her to start gibbering and collapse on stage thus defeating the efforts of her handlers to foist a dementia-riddled psych-drug-addicted looney on the country. Yes, it’s just a dream, but it’s a beautiful one. Hitlery in a straitjacket being checked into the looney bin on Oct 1st, 2016.

Hillary is an Alinskyite bulls%&+ liberal. That’s why she seems to have contrasting positions on issues. Liberals need to hide their views and mask their true intentions of what they will do if elected.

..."she told donors: “The Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment, and I am going to make that case every chance that I get.” This chick must be imprisoned; rather, executed. Are we still living in the Greatest Country in the World? The 'Shining City on the Hill?' She/it is not - but WE are ~ does the rule of Law still apply to all? ~ The second revolution can and (maybe must) happen if this turd steals the election! A quote to consider from President Reagan : If the bloodbath must come, then let's get on with it! (Govenor Ronald W. Reagan to the U.C. Board of Regents) ​

I thought Hillary had a gun-running experience in the Balkans.

If she gets Chelsea to dispense the extreme leftist side of her two-faced triangulations, does that mean she's three-faced? Or still only two?

I'm reminded of Bill when the Monica scandal first broke: He called in all of his staff, lied to them, and had them lie to the reporters for him. That meant he could deny in court that he lied to the people (He had others do it for him)

Just another way of saying the putative democratic nominee is a two-faced liar.

Another outright lie. Like her Benghazi responses, email responses, and being under sniper fire,,If Hillary says it, it’s a lie. Every time.
