1. That's not fair!
You are using "facts" to counter her lies, and that is not in the "Clinton" rule book! :crazy:

How much more of her BS will the public take before they come to their senses, and realize she is not the person we need running this country. We already have the "master" of BS in the whitehouse, do we really want another one?

2. It's easier to blame guns than actually solve the underlying problems
Universal single-payer health insurance, legalization to one extent or another of recreational drugs, more and stronger labor unions, withdrawal from NAFTA and GATT, returning to fair and protective tariffs, and better schools would all help far more than trying to disarm EVERYBODY in the country so that the criminals have a harder time getting guns.

She, and a fair amount of Democrats, have an ultimate goal of civilian disarmament. A civilized society is a disarmed society, therefore we have to disarm everybody. That means creeping gun-control across the board. Villifying guns and gun owners, and passing every single piece of gun-control legislation you can, even if it's dumb-ass stuff, just so that the people get used to gun control laws and gun-owners get harassed.



I don't know if Barack is any better. But, when the SCOTUS rule this summer that the Second refers to an individual right to keep and bear arms, he can just keep quiet and say it's a state's issue.

Clinton has a much longer history of doing this and she's going to support her husband's record of gun control from a decade ago.

4. She voted for a ban of youth sportshooting competitions!?
How would her grandpa, who taught her how to shoot in the backyard of their unheated and impoverished cabin, think about that?
