Four ways Hillary Clinton will work to end gun ownership as president
Fox News ^ | June 06, 2016 | John R. Lott

Posted on 06/07/2016 7:19:11 AM PDT by detective

On Sunday, Hillary Clinton just couldn’t bring herself to say on ABC's "This Week" that Americans have an individual right to own guns. But it didn’t stop her from denying Donald Trump’s claim that she wants to abolish the Second Amendment. Clinton accused Trump of making “outright fabrications, accusing me of something that is absolutely untrue.”

From changing the Supreme Court to make it possible to again ban guns in the United States to making it more costly to own guns, I predict that a President Hillary Clinton will do four things to either ban guns or at least reduce gun ownership, especially for poor people:

1. Sunday, George Stephanopoulos pushed Clinton twice on whether people have a right to own guns on ABC News’ "This Week": “But that's not what I asked. I said do you believe that their conclusion that an individual's right to bear arms is a constitutional right?” Clinton could only say: “If it is a constitutional right...”

Four ways:

1. End constitutional Second Amendment rights.

2. Tax gun purchases at exorbitant rates.

3. Require more expensive and restrictive background checks designed to exclude greater numbers of Americans from the right to purchase firearms.

4. Make gun manufacturers liable for crimes committed with their product even though the manufacturer is not at fault in any way. This will bankrupt all gun manufacturers in the U.S.

“she wants to abolish the Second Amendment”.....

All the more reason EVERY, repeat EVERY gun owner in this nation needs to vote against her for that single reason.

Can’t find 12 million illegals, how’re they going to find 110 million guns plus billions of rounds of ammunition? I portend a lot of boating accidents in the future.

********************************************************

There’s a critical difference in those two scenarios .... they do NOT want to find the illegals .... they WILL want to confiscate guns/ammo.

There are millions of guns in private hands (over 300 Million by some estimates) there is nothing Hillary could ever do that would even dent that number in any significant fashion. When New York passed their “Assault Weapon” Registration, compliance was estimated at less than 13%, and that is in a hard blue state with law enforcement support, imagine what compliance would like in state like Wyoming where law enforcement would ignore it.

Like the Safety act in NY state refuse to comply.

And let them know!

What are the implications,? hey it has to work for the working guy does it not??

Oh....they cannot possibly round up all the illegals and their anchor babies but gun owners will be sought out?

I dunno will we not comply if it means our loved ones?

What a fence....no not that one.

Every patriotic American must vote against her whether or not he or she owns a gun.

If you want to overturn the Second Amendment, it would require a Constitutional Amendment. And given how the attempt at the Equal Rights Amendment failed, it's going to be lot harder than people think.

I can show them that while transiting the Hood Canal they went overboard when my boat swamped as I was heading to the turn in place and they wound up 1500 feet down somewhere in the mile wide ninety mile long canal; oh and it just happened the day before they showed up and didn’t have time to report the tragedy.

...110 million guns...

I strongly suspect you're off by about a factor of four there.

“If you want to overturn the Second Amendment, it would require a Constitutional Amendment. And given how the attempt at the Equal Rights Amendment failed, it's going to be lot harder than people think.”

They will not try to legally repeal the Second Amendment. They will reinterpret the Second Amendment to say that only members of government authorized militias will have the right to legally own guns.

And they will control the membership of those government authorized militias.
