USA – -(Ammoland.com)-“The man who killed Trayvon Martin should have never had a gun in the first place,” Hillary Clinton declared to the crowd at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. The statement was pure, opportunistic political pandering.
What Clinton didn’t do is say why — before the defensive gun use and charges for which he was exonerated — George Zimmerman should have been prohibited by the government from owning a gun. That’s important to know, because, if elected, Clinton will be in a position to call for and sign “gun laws.” What disqualifiers does Hillary believe merit a lifetime enforced disability on Americans exercising the Second Amendment?
In a way, we ought to be grateful that, occasionally, totalitarians give us glimpses of their end game. Which doesn’t stop Hillary from doing what she does best, that is, lying:
I respect the rights of lawful gun owners to own guns, to use their guns…
Hillary said that right before showing everyone her huge “but,” which includes a veritable wish list of citizen disarmament fantasies documented by On the Issues. She has also endorsed adding a 25% federal sales tax on guns. Add to that her assertion that “the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment.”
No one wants to take your guns? If everything Hillary wants is enacted, what difference does it make?
It’s simultaneously pathetic and funny that during her speech, about 28 minutes in, Hillary had to keep looking down at her notes for the names of people she wanted to acknowledge and especially for the name “National Action Network.” Her “[he] should have never had a gun” comment takes place around 55 minutes in.
Again, without defining why, it’s impossible to tell who else Hillary thinks should not have a gun, although with her record, it’s fair to speculate she’d extend that to anyone not in her employ and control. And that’s curious, because she’s been asked before about one specific person and has paid no attention to the question. Perhaps, if asked again, and by enough people, it will be more difficult for her to ignore:
Should Juanita Broaddrick have had a gun?

What’s Bill Clinton’s favorite among Shakespeare’s writings? The Taming of the Shrew.
Th Secret Service should give up their guns.
These forkin’ hypocrites that walk around with armed guards must want a war in this country and total chaos. She panders to the blacks and most of them are on her side and the rest have their hand out hope Bernie the commie is elected. I mean who takes their bride on a honeymoon to the old Soviet Union!?!? He calls himself a democratic socialist…both N. Korea and the old East Germany had the same two words in the official title of their countries and they are anything but democratic!!!
Democratic socialist is an oxymoron!
Once again, Hillary Clinton clearly defining that the DemocRatic Party supports criminals and thugs against law abiding Americans. She is a greater threat to our freedoms than any foreign dictator or terrorist.
Earth to Hillary : There has been 10 million firearms sold since the first of the year . We are going to have 2016 be a all time record year . With perhaps 30 million firearms sold . Those firearms laid end to end would wrap the earth 5 times . There has been 8 trillion rounds of ammo sold since the Dear Leader took office . I know math is not her thing but does she really think these edicts through . Does she really believe 5 of 9 senior citizens sitting in black robes in Washington DC can… Read more »
They can try. And they WILL have the might of the U.S. government behind their edicts. And don’t be fooled; they will be looking to provide ‘Mr. Bad Example’ to the public. So better buckle down and prepare for the future since it will be a rough ride.
hillary and bill have killed more people in plane crashes and supposed suicides before they were able to testify against them than any mass killer.
Finally someone has done their homework. Yep these 2 murderers walk around like they are smarter than everyone else. I pray that we the people show them whos smarter and vote trump in. Then i pray he goes after both of them and obama for treason and everything else!
Why “choose” either of those? If you absolutely must “vote,” write in “none of the above.” Whoever “wins” this crap shoot, ignore them. They just hate that.
You going to “let” Hitlery take your guns? I don’t think so. One of these days she’s going to poke a stick at the wrong badger…
One votes due to the thousands of U.S. Servicemen (and women) who died face down in the mud in order to secure your right to vote. You mock them and insult their memory by not voting, period, end of story. ‘If you don’t vote don’t crab’ – Lucy VanPelt (of the Peanuts comic strip fame).
Get ready folks looks like we may have the choice between
a Socialist and a fascist either way we the people lose.
Obviously the TNUC never saw Trayvon’s (Got his justice at the bsarrel end of Zimmerman’s Gun) Martin’s fecesbook page as he is shown waving a gun around.
Gee. If Zimmerman would not have been armed, he would be dead and my State(Florida)would be paying upwards of $45,000 a year to house and feed Trayvon. As an aside, the State of Florida spent almost a million dollars to prosecute/persecute Zimmerman, and a jury of women and minorities found him not guilty on all counts. That’s because the prosecutor didn’t have a case or any credible witnesses, and the defense did their homework and had witnesses.
A killer and a tax dodging race baitor talking to a bunch of welfare mooching baby machines and cop killing thugs. No surprise there.
My condolences.
For having to listen to and take notes of a Hillary Clinton speech. You’re a stronger man than me, Sir!
No one wants to take your religion, we just want to decide which religion you should be able to have and require a background check to make sure you are able to have it.
Very good analogy Pepe.
Has the 2nd Amendment been amended to allow Hillary to determine who should and who shouldn’t, or does that pesky period placed immediately to the right of the word “Infringed” still hold its ground?
[W3]
Apparently the executives and legislatures in a number of states do. Funny she mentions Zimmerman. If Martin had not turned and confronted Zimmerman, he would still be alive today (baring getting into some other situation). Martin had a cell phone and could have dialed 911. He could have gone home to his father’s house. He could have gone to another house and knocked “politely”, and asked for help. He could have gone to a business and done the same. He could even have stayed out of trouble in the first place and would not have been sent to live with… Read more »
Hilarious! Of course Hilary does not want women armed – someone might have shot her rapist husband and ended her political careeer.
