Hillary Clinton couldn’t definitively say Sunday that the Second Amendment of the Constitution guaranteed the right to bear arms during an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
(snip)
“Do you believe that an individual’s right to bear arms is a constitutional right, that it’s not linked to service in a militia?” he asked.
“I think that for most of our history, there was a nuanced reading of the Second Amendment until the decision by the late Justice Scalia, and there was no argument until then that localities and states and the federal government had a right, as we do with every amendment, to impose reasonable regulations,” she said. “So I believe we can have common-sense gun safety measures consistent with the Second Amendment.”
Clinton then went into her gun control platform, but Stephanopoulos hit her for dodging his question, noting the D.C. vs. Heller decision that protected an individual’s right to have a firearm for lawful purposes.
“And the Heller decision also does say there can be some restrictions, but that’s not what I asked,” he said. “I said, do you believe that their conclusion that an individual’s right to bear arms is a constitutional right?”
“If it is a constitutional right, then it, like every other constitutional right, is subject to reasonable regulations, and what people have done with that decision is to take it as far as they possibly can and reject what has been our history from the very beginning of the republic, where some of the earliest laws that were passed were about firearms,” Clinton said.

This criminal hag is interviewed by a former employee who donated $$$$ to her criminal “foundation” and is/was on the board of directors of that criminal “foundation”. What a pathetic joke by these subhuman LIBs.
This heinous b%*@^ knows cares as much about The Second Amendment as she does cared about Benghazi and the illegal immigration nightmare she created in Libya by overthrowing Mummar Qaddafi.
What she said....I’m gonna regulate the crap out of that amendment...and on a Federal level. You will obey!!
Is there even one constitutionally - recognized individual liberty that Obama Hillary Kerry etc would uphold and defend for us? (And I don’t mean abortion on demand or dirty old men in the little girls’ room...). And would they ever do a single thing to strengthen USA and our real allies, instead of undermining and weakening us? ( rhetorical questions, obviously). These people are consistently our outright enemies - on every single fundamental aspect of our lives - they are very very dangerous — it’s no wonder they routinely serve the interests of our deadly Islamic enemies as well as every other anti- American dictatorship on earth.
I’ve always scratched my head at that question\assertion.
It begs to ask the question:
so, all of the Bill of Rights(a response to calls for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties,) are individual rights except the 2nd amendment ?
Where do I get one of those lapel camera pins all the Hillary security detail gets to wear?
The day they nullify the 2nd Amendment, is the day I go hunting.
BOOM!
Have you considered submitting “Heinous Hillary” to Trump as a nickname for the &itch?
I would like to ask her if she thought she had a right to vote or run for President.
She certainly helped the Benghazi Annex staffers understand it.
HRC: "nice kitty"
Well, gorilla harambe no longer occupies his cage. Put Hillary in there and I don’t think the public would notice the difference.
AVAILABLE SOON FREE IN DUMPSTERS EVERYWHERE!
It wont be when she’s done appointing Supreme Court justices.
Outstanding response by Miranda@moonraker33.
Especially when she’s restricted access to razors and her electrolysist is indicted ;)
“What IS it, Mommy?”
“I don’t know, baby...Don’t look.”
This just in: Bill Clinton states he has a Constitutional right to bare butts!
