"Hillary Clinton to receive gun control award"

[Historic NY]

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is slated to receive an award for her work promoting gun control measures, bestowed by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

"Throughout her career as a public servant, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly put the safety of the American people above the influence and interests of the corporate gun lobby," Brady president Dan Gross said in a statement to CBS News. "She serves as an example for all policymakers who truly want to serve the constituencies they are elected to represent."

The organization pointed specifically to the candidate's dedication to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, passed while Clinton was first lady, which required a waiting period and national background check for handgun buyers.

"Mrs. Clinton was there when the historic Brady Law was signed by President Bill Clinton and she has demonstrated a clear commitment in support of our efforts to 'finish the job' and expand those lifesaving Brady background checks to all gun sales," Gross added.

1. She is on the right side of this problem, she is not corporate on this issue, definitely on the side

of citizens, a good example of how she works for Americans and not corporations.

6. RW extremist media memes are still not mostly welcome at DU, do not get the wrong impression.

7. Registered, trained and psych evaled

Sorta blows that rw trash out of the water, huh?

[JonathanRackham]

8. Hillary or the Secret Service?

[Rose Siding]

9. You're lost

This is the Hillary Group.

10. Where's the irony?

Last I checked Secret Service are trained and background checked, also fully licensed to carry guns. The irony would be if Hillary supported taking guns away from citizens, she does not.

Some helpful advice: Be careful using right wing memes (talking points) to disparage Hillary. They will do you no favors in the Hillary group.
