Hillary Clinton Pushes Gun Control: “We Have To Reign In” Americans Support For Second Amendment Rights
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday offered her most detailed comments on domestic policy in months, calling for tighter gun restrictions while also going to bat for Obamacare and warning that rising economic inequality is contributing to “social collapse.”
As to whether she’ll run for the White House, however, Clinton said she’s still mulling it because there’s “a cost to everything.”
The former secretary of state, who would be the Democratic frontrunner in 2016 should she run, was delivering the keynote address at a conference held by the National Council for Behavioral Health, an organization that focuses on mental health.
“We have to rein in what has become [an] almost article of faith, that anybody can own a gun anywhere, anytime. And I don’t believe that,” she said.
Clinton, who argued it was possible to hold her position and still support the right to gun ownership, warned that unfettered access to guns could have dangerous consequences.
She painted a dark picture, warning that, “At the rate we’re going, we’re going to have so many people with guns everywhere, fully licensed, fully validated, in settings where [one] could be in a movie theater, and they don’t like someone chewing gum loudly or talking on their cell phone and decide they have the perfect right to defend themselves against the gum chewer or cell phone user by shooting.”
Wild Thing’s comment…………
The only thing gun laws and restrictions effect are the already law abiding people. Bad guys could care less about laws.
Hillary is basically saying she will continue obama’s policies. Socialized healthcare has been her pet project for a long time. I think she was also instrumental in getting Bill to push the 96 assault weapons ban.
The NRA is asking Slick Willie’s favorite cigar brand – GURKHA GRAND RESERVE – to sponsor them?
