Donald Trump goes after Hillary Clinton on guns (SCOTUS at Stake)
CNN ^ | May 20, 2016 | Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 05/21/2016 1:45:49 PM PDT by Beautiful_Gracious_Skies

Donald Trump... told the NRA that Hillary Clinton would take away the right to bear arms ... Trump, ... dove right into attacking Clinton, saying she "wants to abolish the Second Amendment." "We're not going to let that happen," Trump said. "We're going to preserve it, we're going to cherish it."

Trump ... suggested that Clinton would take away gun rights via the Supreme Court. "If she gets to appoint her judges, she will abolish the Second Amendment," Trump told an enthusiastic crowd...... She quickly responded ... on Twitter. "You're wrong, We can uphold Second Amendment rights while preventing senseless gun violence," she tweeted.

Trump hammered home his argument that gun rights are critical to fighting terrorism -- raising the specter of recent terrorist attacks -- but spent most of his speech sharpening his attacks on Clinton.... arguing that Clinton is telling "every woman that she doesn't have the right to defend herself" with a firearm. "That is so unfair and that is so egregious and I'll tell you what, my poll numbers with women are starting to go up," he said.

Chris Cox, energized the crowd by bashing Clinton and urging Republicans to "get over" their sore feelings about the primary process and unite around the presumptive Republican nominee.... argued that the "Second Amendment is on the ballot in November,"...

Chris Cox,...: "the stakes in this year's presidential election could not be higher for gun owners." "If Hillary Clinton gets the opportunity to replace Antonin Scalia with an anti-gun Supreme Court justice, we will lose the individual right to keep a gun in the home for self-defense,"...

"Mrs. Clinton has said that the Supreme Court got it wrong on the Second Amendment. So the choice for gun owners in this election is clear. And that choice is Donald Trump."

trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."

Also the glib use of the word “senseless” obscures the fact that there is a perverted sense in most of them. This is not like little Johnny stumbling across a gun and not even understanding what it is. We are talking about people who embrace violent attitudes for perverted reasons. These people may yet, however, understand armed opposition. And since nobody can put police in their pocket, we need to not make it impossibly difficult for them to put arms in their pocket.

The contest of freedom is not itself animating, because that would make it God. It can be the result of an animating agent, i.e. God.

Some people won’t upset the status quo for any reason. And then there are others who will upset it just for the sake of upsetting it, even if the upshot is to go from bad to worse.

“In the Australian example, as I recall, that was a buyback program. The Australian government, as part of trying to clamp down on the availability of automatic weapons, offered a good price for buying hundreds of thousands of guns.”-— Hillary Clinton, last October

Of course Crooked Hillary had to lie about that, calling a massive gun confiscation a “buyback”. The offer was an offer Australians couldn’t refuse, unless they wanted to go to prison. Something she want’s to emulate.

I’m just throwing this out there because I think it is bound to come up. I don’t think it’s a huge deal, but I think it is worth knowing with respect to Trump on 2nd Amendment. The big donor, Sheldon Adelson, that just announced endorsement, has also been a big contributor to Freedom’s Watch. They appear to be pretty conservative on the issues they have listed on their website. But, they specifically call for firearm registration. Trump is still the winner on this issue when compared to Hillary. Just something to keep an eye on.

crooked Hillary is trying to deny it, but she is on record at a donors only fundraiser saying: “the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment”.

I have no intention of ‘registering’ anything - ever. In addition, I’ve never lost a damned one in any accident either. All my unregistered firearms are perfectly legal in my State, and they’ll remain that way until the day I kick the bucket.

Is it? I couldn’t tell that from their website. They’re still asking for donations. Wonder if it’s a different entity with the same name or restarted.

Oh jeez. I see now there was Freedom’s Watch and now Freedom Watch. Apparently 2 different organizations. That is good to know. Thanks for the info.

Yes, I wish we could put the entire article here.

It shows the difference between Trump & Clinton is NIGHT & DAY on the 2nd Amendment.

Her justice picks will destroy what’s left of America.

She needs to retire with Bill or Huma or someone and get off the stage.

The Clinton’s had their chance and did their damage to America. They are still raking in millions through the foundation. They really need to stop, we won’t survive any more transformation.

Yes, I agree, FRiend. We need to be vigilante, always of a donor’s influence.

Never let the guard down and grow complacent with anyone, DJT included.

Did you watch the youtube form the NRA platform and Chris Cox?

It should be mandatory listening for FR members.

He skewered Clinton repeatedly in the first 10 minutes of his speech.

Cox stated, ‘here’s Hillary’s take on the 2nd A’: The clip is Barking dog Hillary around the 5 minute mark. <-Hilarious Hillary

I didn’t vote for Trump in my State’s primary ... but I’m way over it. Forward to demolish She Who Must Be Crushed.
