Townsend: Tired of Clinton's 'gun control' refrain | Letters | trib.com:
I am tired of Hillary Clinton's constant refrain of "gun control." This candidate can't even control her own emails, much less a gun. When will she ever address the problem of controlling gangbangers, druggies and criminals who misuse firearms and maim and kill the innocent? Where is her endorsement of the NRA's Project Exile which would sentence a criminal to ten years of hard time for any crime while using a firearm?Good Question!
However, the responses seem to veer off dramatically different ... and much more intriguing .. directions.
Small sample:
billy I got rid of all my guns and ammo so we would all be safer. No reason to come looking here.
Alces alces
Have you ever noticed those that advocate for gun control only come up with laws that keep reasonable, law-abiding people from owning guns but never address how to keep them out of the hands of the bad guys?

"gun control" Gov coming for yer guns...
300 million guns......the fearmongers, the hatemongers of the gop and a simple use of words is amazing...
gun control in a nation "founded" on spilling blood....
not many dems came out in the past 20 years and called bs on the lies...
nevermind that past 7 + years when the insane bullies/liars of the nra, the gop, the faux news trash was pushing (24/7/365) that the Muslim Kenyan anti Christ President was coming for yer guns...
and now the issue of suing gun manufactures is a contentious issue...
not a word about jailing the idiots that allow toddlers to shoot eachother...
after all the billions that have been raked in from out right lies and fear fear fear...
Trust the word of a man who hunted Pronghorns there for three years running and never kept a tent upright for two days in a row.
