The Line in the Sand

If there was ever any doubt that Hillary Clinton will make "Gun Control" a major issue in her presidential campaign, this article should disprove it:

Clinton: 'Nothing is more powerful than the gun lobby’ | TheHill:
(March 14, 2016)

 Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Monday said enacting tighter firearms regulations requires overwhelming voter support, given the strength of gun lobbyists.

“Nothing is more powerful than the gun lobby,” she told host Chris Matthews during an MSNBC town hall in Springfield, Ill. "This is an issue I am so profoundly disturbed about. We have to take on the gun lobby. The gun lobby really intimidates elected officials. We have got to make this a voting issue.”

Clinton has never been shy about her enmity toward the Civil and Constitutional rights of law-abiding American citizens' right to keep and bear arms;  witness her avocation of the "Australian Solution" (confiscation of all civilian-owned arms).

But now she has dropped the white gloves of diplomacy and displayed the iron hand with which she plans to rule American citizens upon the advent of her Presidency.

She not only advocates the confiscation of guns as a 'side issue', but will make it a talking point ... a political plank in her campaign ... to define privately owned firearms as an issue which she will use against her opponents (notably Bernie Sanders, who she considers 'soft on gun control issues') to gain high office.

We are not unaccustomed to Presidential candidates making extravagent claims on issues which their opponents (in both primary and final elections) have previously stated a position.   But I think this statement is more than a campaign talking point.

Given the Oval Office, Hillary would make Diane Feinstein's "Mr and Mrs America, Turn 'em all in" quote look like a gentle pat on the fanny of a recalcitrant two-year-old child.   (Which is apparently how Mrs. Clinton views her constituents; misguided children who don't know what's good for them.)

This statement is more than an election gimmick, or a platform plank.  It's a promise.

And although we all know that the Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton is a liar and she learned it from her husband (who got away with murder during his presidency ... a figure of speech; Vince Foster was a suicide and they had nothing to do with it),  here she has made the first promise of her campaign which she intends to fulfill if elected.



Actually, I don't think that she hates guns so much as that she just hates YOU, because of the whole 'tree of liberty' thing that Jefferson said.

Well, if it only cautions ONE politician ....
