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...”

2. Tax gun purchases at exorbitant rates.

That was the idea of the $200 tax stamp for class III firearms. At the time $200 was more than all but the "best" people could afford. I'm surprised they've never made $2000.

shhhhhhhhhhhh

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

The President can suspend any rights you claim to have simply by using the Patriot Act.

You have only the rights that you are willing to defend and no individual or small group can prevent the government from abusing every right you claim to have. The only thing that prevents the government from full tilt tyranny, is a few God fearing politicians that have managed to survive the 50 year purge of moral and religious thinkers from public life.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --October 11, 1798 John Adams

Some of that will occur because some of the cops simply won’t do it.

Dream on, they will follow orders.

gun owners will be sought out?

When gun owners are sought out, gun owners will not
be the only ones to die.

It’s easier to just ignore it like it’s not there.

Reality sucks.

illegal Immigration, the late Congressman Sonny Bono pointed out the obvious when he surmised that illegal meant against the law.

I’m willing to die to keep my guns. How badly do they want them?

Chicago is a good example, the most restrictive of any city in the US and look how well their gun laws work.

You realize that the defenders of the 2nd amendment in Chicago are not patriots but criminals right?

Bad enough to kill you for them.

I’d like to see those Chicago gun laws but I don’t think I’d have enough memory space on my computer or drive space (1TB)

And they might find one or two,
As I’m taking or getting names and reviewing security camera footage of the state sanctioned thefts.
Then employ our own version of theft.

We will not go quietly if it comes to that.

“Dream on, they will follow orders.”

Really? You must be plugged into the policing community to know that American law enforcement is the second coming of the Gestapo. So, my sheriff will blindly follow orders. How do you know that?

There more than a few Sheriffs that will refuse but Obama has armed every alphabet government agency and they are not so patriotic as your Sheriff probably is.

“Actually, there’s at least five.

As with not having health insurance, they can theoretically tax us for owning guns.”

There are more than 5. It is a major goal of Clinton’s to confiscate guns from law abiding Americans.

I was summarizing the article which listed four.
