Washington, DC -(Ammoland.com)- I hope you had good Memorial Day weekend.
While most of us took the day off of work to enjoy friends and family, let us not forget what Memorial Day weekend was all about.
Since our nation’s founding, hundreds of thousands of American Service Members have paid the ultimate price and sacrificed their lives to keep the United States of America the land of the free and home of the brave.
Our veterans have defended the U.S. Constitution and our God-given rights. But now we must stand up for them as Hillary Clinton and the gun grabbing left seeks to dishonor their service by depriving them of their Second Amendment rights.
Several leftist media outlets — and also a so-called “veterans’ group” — have launched a new effort to get veterans to help propel Hillary Clinton to the White House.
This is quite ironic, of course, since few people have done more to disarm military veterans than the Clintons.
Under President Bill Clinton, veterans with PTSD lost their gun rights when the VA began forwarding veterans’ names to the FBI for placement in the NICS system.
Over 257,000 Veterans Lost Their Gun Rights Because of the Clintons
To date, over 257,000 military veterans have lost their gun rights because of the precedent that began under the Clinton administration.
And there is no doubt that this antipathy for our veterans’ gun rights continues with Hillary — and that she wants to take away guns from far more Americans than simply veterans.
Our Legislative Counsel has outlined why Hillary Clinton’s desire to reverse the Heller decision — which recognized that gun ownership was a God-given individual right — would, as far as the corrupt Obama-packed courts are concerned, wipe the Second Amendment from the Constitution.
Hillary’s well-known affinity for Australia’s massive gun ban could well presage a national confiscation scheme for us — perhaps, by executive fiat and rubber-stamped by the Democrat-packed courts.
Hillary’s support for a proposal to strip gun rights from anyone she chose to place on a “secret list” (with no standards or due process) could potentially allow Clinton to place “dangerous gun owners” like you and me on a secret gun-ban list.
Hillary’s support for a universal gun registry would funnel virtually every gun owner into a NICS system that has an almost 95% “false positive” rate for initial denials, and an inability to appeal a false positive because the Obama administration has illegally shut down the appeals process for those erroneous denials.
Hillary’s plan to allow Leftist jurisdictions to use taxpayer money to bring frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers and dealers is a transparent attempt to sue gun ownership out of business.
If Hillary has had one complaint about Obama, it’s that he hasn’t gone far enough on gun control. As Breitbart reported:
Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton [has been] looking toward the general election and planning to use executive action “go further than Obama” on gun control.
So, no, no one thinks that Hillary Clinton would be anything other than a disaster for veterans and guns — and for our gun rights in general.
That’s why, on November 8 2016, gun owners will hopefully let her know what they think of her hatred for the Second Amendment.
Sincerely,
Larry Pratt

Pratt spoke at meetings organized by white supremacist and militia leaders. Pratt was forced to resign his position with the Buchanan campaign In May 2016, Pratt suggested that the loss of a conservative majority in the Supreme Court through a Democratic victory in the 2016 Presidential elections might lead him and other gun owners to use violence in order to resist any judicial ruling supporting gun control, saying ‘we may have to reassert that proper constitutional balance, and it may not be pretty. So, I’d much rather have an election where we solve this matter at the ballot box than… Read more »
Hey, I have JPFO’s book showing, paragraph by paragraph, a direct comparison the the Nazi statute that disarmed the German people. They also show Thomas Dodd’s letter to the Library of Congress asking for a translation. A terrific group.
It’s astonishing that those who come from a free country, travel to Europe to participate in the Nuremberg trials judging the Nazis. Then returning with the Nazi statute that disarmed the Germans. Thereby, giving us the Gun Control Act of 1968.
This is a strong argument to abolish the GCA of ’68.
While Hillary Clinton my be the most anti-gun presidential candidate in American history ,Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) was the most a anti-gun president in American history, as well as the most corrupt, deceitful, crooked, socialist, and abusive! Remember it was Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) who signed the damnable 1968 Federal Gun Control Act into oppressive legislation which declared war “class warfare” against innocent honest American gun owners! Johnson deserved swift, harsh, and total impeachment! The crimes and political atrocities of LBJ have been covered up, concealed, censored, and deliberately hid from the American public now for over 50 years! I… Read more »
Its not anti-gun. It’s anti-Bill of Rights anti-Constitution! And it is dangerous as hell!
It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know this but what amazes me is the vets protesting Trump and saying he doesn’t have the veteran’s values. The guy raised 6 million dollarsish for the vets benefit and lets fact it, vets don’t stand a chance with anybody running but Trump. With their protesting their only hope and Trump doesn’t win, they deserve what they get…NOTHING. UNREAL, what has happened to this Country that people shoot themselves in the foot?
