The day after the shooting that killed 10 people at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College, Hillary Clinton called for a “national movement” strong enough to rival the National Rife Association, which she described as “an intense, dedicated group” of gun lobbyists who “scare politicians and say, ‘We will vote against you.’”

Clinton, who has made new gun restrictions a regular feature of her speeches on the campaign trail, addressed the shooting at a rally in Florida on Friday.

In other recent appearances, Clinton has advocated specifically for universal background checks on gun-buyers — an initiative that failed in Congress under President Obama.

“What is wrong with us that we can’t stand up to the NRA and the gun lobby and the gun manufacturers that they represent?” she said to cheers from the crowd..............

Clinton promised that, if elected, she would “never relent” in trying to pass new gun measures. She acknowledged that passing new measures — which Obama was unable to do even in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School — would be what she called “a political mountain to climb.”......

4. I also think it's good she's actually making a proper show of this.

Seems like she's putting a shoulder to the wheel here.

3. Why can't OUR Gov. require insurance on anyone who owns more than say, 3 guns?

Let the insurance Corps set the rates and requirements.

And a very, very high Federal tax on Ammo.

It's our own Gov., "our worst Congress in history" who are afraid of the NRA. what a pitiful bunch of cowards Americans have voted into office. All they serve "the people" is a bunch of bullshit.

We all know , at least I know, its the lovely profits on gun sales and ammo, and "training" that drives the NRA.
