Clinton dodges question on Second Amendment | The Hill
Holy crap on a cracker... Please, PLEASE, click the link above and watch the video as well as read the article. The real scary part to me is not that she dodged the question, but that when asked if the right to keep and bear arms was a Constitutional Right, she said "If it is, then..." and then she says that "like all other Constitutional Rights, it is subject to reasonable regulations..."
WTF did she just say???
My Constitutional Rights can be regulated? Free speech can be regulated? The Freedom of the Press can be regulated? The Right to a Trial by Jury can be regulated? The Right to Freedom of Religion can be REGULATED?
Has she lost her mind? Or has some yet unrevealed propensity of hers toward actually being a dictator finally come out?
There's more, like that the Second Amendment was nuanced before what she calls, "Scalia's ruling."
Just watch the video. Why the hell didn't the George Stephanopoulos ask a follow-up question about the press' 1st Amendment Rights being regulated according to her? Is he so far down the rabbit hole with the Clintons that he just ignored that obvious attack on our rights?
EDIT: Got the video off of YouTube, but please, still go and read the article in the link above.
I gotta tell you folks... This may be enough to make me vote for... I can't even say it, but... God, I feel sick.
Just So Ya Know: Trumps also believes the same thing, history does not lie, people do.

Ummm yes ALL Constitutional Rights are subject to regulation... can you yell fire in a crowded building? Ever heard of slander? How about putting the 10 commandments of state property? The Press is subject to many regulations. trail by jury as well... (many courts don't allow trail by jury in misdemeanor cases)
Now i'll wager a shiny nickel all the 'gun' rubbers who bark at this dog whistle were not going to vote for Clinton way before this...
but if you think Trump gives a rat's rump about 'the little guy's' right to carry firearms...eace
pretty pathetic attempt to fluff Hillary's anti gun idiocy.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Oh and btw, the claim you have a right to your reputation calls for you to control how other peoples speak about you and how other people are affected by it. Also, the idea that somehow I'm responsible for idiots that can't control themselves when I tell them about a fire is implying that somehow I have control over them.
Pretty pathetic attempt to make Trump sound like the NRA lie isn't a lie like all his others... :2wave:
But I don't expect much more than that from you. fact is ALL our Constitutional Rights have limits- which was rebutting the OP's claims.
Now I know your elite education leans more to 'noble born' but fact is neither Obama nor Hillary will be King and able to with an airy wave nullify the Constitution.
But nice try...eace
Ok, I got a good laugh out of that but fact is yelling fire is against the law if there is no fire and people get hurt. You do have a right to protect yourself against slander but not against criticism. Regulation doesn't mean prohibition- no matter how loud the 'gun' rubbers howl...eace
Why can't people understand what the words "congress can pass no law abridging free speech" means? Why do they believe that still leaves an opening to pass laws on speech? How exactly can the founders write an absolute statement forbidding all laws on the subject and yet somehow leave an opening to pass laws on the subject? How exactly does that work? Did someone change the rules of grammar and the definition of words when I wasn't looking?

if you actually LISTEN to what the lying bitch said-she clearly doesn't believe in a constitutional right of citizens to own guns
Yep I just listened to it. she says until the ruling by Scalia ( as if it was only him and not the other justices who also ruled the same way ) that there was 'no argument' that government, states and localities had the right to impose 'reasonable regulations'
Well she knows she is lying there. There has always been an argument over that and there always will be.
She then goes on to say that what she has proposed is supported by 90% of the American people and 'more than 75% of responsible gun owners'. Well again we and she knows that's a lie also.
Ive checked every pollster site I could find and I do not find any poll that shows 90% of people support stricter gun control laws in general , let alone her suggestions. in fact I couldn't find one that was greater than 56%.
One of her 'great ideas' is to open up gun manufacturers for lawsuits. so gun company makes a gun, someone buys it or steals it and shoots someone and victim of the shooting can sue the gun company.
So does that set a precedent.. I mean could someone sue the hardware store or say Stanley if someone killed someone with a hammer.
So I will just go with the words you used.. lying bitch.
It's the only issue that she's been the most consistent on, anyways.she's a gun banning POS scum bag. Pure and simple. anyone who thinks she is no worse than Trump on gun issues is too stupid to own a gun

I have no idea what I'm going to do in November. I was leaning toward Hillary until all the lies and illegal activity was uncovered. I can't stomach the thought of voting for Trump. Voting for anyone other than those two is a waste of my vote, IMHO. Depending on who was his VP, I could see the Congress impeaching Trump if he got out of hand and started making imperial edicts via executive order like Obama has done and like Hillary has stated she would do - and I feel like the Dems would probably vote with the GOP to convict him in the Senate, allowing whoever was his VP to rise up and take over.
What she said in that video just pissed me off so bad, that I just can't imagine allowing her to have my vote anymore.
It is why when I vote I will be skipping over the presidential candidates and voting on the other races and issues.
maybe he did once, maybe he lied to the NRA
however, Hillary has always been anti gun
she wants to ban many guns, she praised the English and Australian gun confiscations and she-through her daughter-promised to appoint more radical lesbian justices who hate gun rights and who will overturn established precedent (Heller)
anyone who thinks the second amendment is an important guarantee cannot vote for Hillary
I think that is really silly given that Hillary is clearly the worst choice on gun rights
Vote for Trump if you wish, I will Not, nor will I vote for Hillary, either way we are scr*wed.
