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...”

1. End constitutional Second Amendment rights.

I stopped right there.

I mean, it is possible IN THEORY for the Second Amendment to be repealed. Very, very, VERY unlikely, but possible.

Short of that, however, a President cannot "end" any rights, enumerated or otherwise, in the Constitution.

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.

Look for militia outside of the government to form.

The 2nd Amendment doesn’t have to be formally repealed for it to be effectively ended. One or two more left wing SCOTUS justices and voila - 2A is just something that has to do with armaments for the armed forces, active duty and National Guard. It will be “an anachronism” dealing with “Militias” and sweeping firearm bans for individuals will go forward.

In December of 2015 she proposed another assault weapons ban and a ban on high capacity magazines.

Hillary Clinton proposes assault rifle ban, limits on high-capacity magazines

She may (unlikely but may) reduce “legal gun ownership”. No way she decreases “gun ownership”. She’ll just create more “criminals with guns”.

Are they going to do the same with the 1500 acres of forest in my back yard?

“I portend a lot of boating accidents in the future.”

If it’s time to “bury” them, it’s time to dig them up.

Somewhere very early in that four-step process, “use them” is going to come into the equation.

There was an “Assault Weapon” registration scheme in California back in the 80’s. Few of the covered weapons were ever registered and the Republican Atty. Gen., Dan Lungren, refused to enforce the Law. The Democrats were enraged, but never could do anything about it. Dan later served in the US House as the Representative from my district.

Until his retirement, Dan was one of the few Republicans that stood up to Obama, and as the thorn in Pelosi’s side became a target for the Dems. It took them 2 tries, but they finally got him through voter fraud and changing the electorate map.

I can see the same thing happening today, though NOT again in California, in a majority of states. Throughout history people giving up their weapons has had disastrous results. Most know this intrinsically, and will fight off attempts to be disarmed by the government.

Read Joseph Wambaugh’s “The Onion Field” based on a historical event.

If we get to the point of door to door firearms confiscation,expect those doing the searches to conduct themselves like the Nazis did in occupied countries.They will be looking for any excuse to kill.

It’s highly likely a 2nd revolution or civil war will be started if she wins. People are already angry and seething. Her extreme leftist policies would be enough to put freedom loving people over the edge.

I dunno. From where I sit reading about all the bad things being done now and what she will do as corrupt as she is; I just don’t see any other options other than civil war or subjugation going forward unless Trump wins and reverses 99% of the garbage thrust on us. Making sure every politician who is corrupt and complicit pays for their crimes against the people would be priority number one after signing a reversal of all of zero’s executive orders. If she wins we are at war internally. Chances are our enemies will take advantage of it too while we are weak and otherwise occupied defending our rights.

We are at a tipping point unlike any other time in our history and for the first time; I’m literally afraid for the future of America.

This is why Mr. Trump HAS TO WIN in a LANDSLIDE. Otherwise look for a possible violent outcome down the road as you have posted.

No, just the reality of way too many gun owners!
