Hillary Clinton: Government Has ‘A Right’ To Regulate 2nd Amendment
breitbart.com ^ | 6/5/2016 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 06/05/2016 11:32:01 AM PDT by rktman

Government has a right to regulate the Second Amendment, Hillary Clinton said in an interview on the June 5 airing of This Week With George Stephanopoulos,

Clinton contended that Americans have historically recognized the government’s “right” to regulate the bearing of arms, suggesting that it was not until District of Columbia v Heller (2008) that anyone thought otherwise.

Stephanopoulos asked, “Do you believe an individual’s right to bear arms is a constitutional right? That it’s not linked to the service in the militia?”

Today’s petty tyrants are well aware of what the king tried. They intend to try the very same thing George tried in ‘75. And but for President Donald J. Trump, they may well succeed.

The U.S. government has no rights.

Thus exposing her disregard for the actual rights of Citizens which the government was established to protect and her complete misunderstanding of the Constitution she has sworn to uphold and defend.

This is she whom many would ignorantly choose as our future POTUS. They willfully place chains upon themselves and want them placed on all of us against our will.

No. This NOT the first time she has inkled an intention to outlaw private ownership of firearms. She knows the Constitution well enough to loathe it.

The police in San Jose were part of the plan. By not defending the Trump supporters they were wanting the Trump supporters to respond violently. If one had used a gun, that would be the ultimate response they wanted. One dead Mexican would denigrate the entire Trump Movement for good. Bank on it.

“Well-regulated” in the 2A means often-practiced free of government interference.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with government regulations. To the contrary, in fact.

Hillary will make sure the deck is stacked in the Supreme Court and they will become our Gods as they trash the Constitution.

She’s a murderess on her way to finish ruling and ruining our lives, our economy and our now pitiful nation.

She and her Billy Goat believe they deserve another eight years in the White Hut and voters are stupid and gullible enough to give it to them.

Their crimes are monumental.

It’s difficult to know how “ .. Shall not be infringed” could be any clearer. Under the US constitution the government has its just powers delegated, either directly or indirectly, by the people. It has no inherent, or God given, “rights”.

Clinton responded: “If it is a constitutional right, then it–like every other constitutional right–is subject to reasonable regulations.”

Before San Jose, maybe. But not anymore. Now the photos are out. America is aware of the double cross by cops and mayors. If a shooting happened now it would be accepted as self-defense. That's why the Left is suddenly anxious for the thuggery to stop - once again they went too far.

under these ruling elite who control DC know that an unarmed populous IS an enslaved populous. It’s not enough for them to possess 60%+ of the entire world’s wealth, they also want those who serve them to eliminate people in mass without resistance. That is exactly what the hag intends to do with the power of the US Presidency.

The federal government has no delegated power given it to regulate the possession, acquisition, or sale of firearms among the several States.

ALL federal firearms regulations, except as they may apply to Territories or protectorates of the federal not under the jurisdiction of any State, are unconstitutional.

It’s a 10th Amendment thing so lawless scum like Hillary can’t see it.

“The U.S. government has no rights.

It only has powers that were delegated to it by the several states and the people.”

She should know this, because they actually taught civics class when she was in school. The fact that she (a previously elected official) didn’t correct Skippy tells me all I need to know about her.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

No it doesn’t. Even the current gun laws are patently unconstitutional.

The government has NO RIGHTS, it only has POWERS delegated to it by the people and the States who created it! Only the PEOPLE have RIGHTS which they have inherently granted by their Creator.
