A question for all gun owners concerned about Hillary becoming president?

Question

A lot of you think she's going to take away your guns and ban them.
Please tell me EXACTLY where you've gotten this information. I don't want some right wing spin, I want an ACTUAL QUOTE of hers from a LEGITIMATE news source such as Associated Press, I'll even accept FOX "News" as a source for this one!
Please also tell me what gun you can own now, that you believe you will not be able to own if she becomes president.
Finally, if you own this gun now, what EXACTLY do you need this "wonder weapon" for? Please tell me why you purchased it and what its purpose is.
Thanks. Sorry if I got you worked up.

Answer 1

I am not concerned about Hillary, even if she does become president. I'd say her odds are 50/50. A lot of things will remain the same. The assault rifle "ban" was more hype used by both sides. There was no problem getting high capacity magazines or so called assault rifles.
Personally, I don't need my weapons for protection. I drive a bus for a living. I drive in an area that is hard ghetto, and at night. Most people would be terrified. I'm always the only white person on the bus 99.9% of the time. I actually have made a few friends. We don't have a fare box, and it isn't unusual for me to have $200-300 in coins and $1 bills in my pocket. About 4 hours into the shift, I meet a dispatcher that takes my money. Not so much for security, but because it is so heavy and bulky.
I can't carry a weapon. I have no fear. I pick up the very people most would lock their doors and step on the gas if they saw them. That's because they are ignorant and deserve no respect.
As for the nit-wit that said something about duck hunting and rifles.

with a crappy Chinese pellet gun! Only a loser needs a shotgun!
It's sad to see most Republicans get flustered so easily.

Answer 2

I am sure she isn't any smarter than Bill, and Bill stated in a press release that he was "going duck hunting with his rifle."
So Much for knowledge and understanding of firearms.
Almost all the issues they promote in regard to the right of the people to posses firearms always get tied into 'hunting guns'. Hunting is not and has never been the issue with the Second Amendment. The right being protected is the right to Bear arms for protection of State and self. When did it become reasonable to protect the State with a friggen scattergun? When taken in total and Complete context of the Amendment We the People Have the Right to own Military Type weapons. At present we have the right to be licensed and Taxed for the Right to own Military grade Weapons that we could actually Use in the Defense of our States against all Enemies Foreign and Domestic. I would also note here that the possession of Class 3 weapons have been the SAFEST class of weapon owned by the U.S. Citizen. These weapons have Never been used in the commission of a Crime by the Registered Owner.
Also to be noted is that the largest supplier of illegally owned class 3 weapons is the U.S. Government. This through thefts from National Guard armories and pilfering by U.S. Soldiers.
Now if I have pissed YOU off with my rant about the 2nd Amendment,.....Tough....It's Real...Billary ISN'T...

Tell YOU what I own...I doubt it. You have the same force of law as a pollster...They receive the "I don't have any guns" story, because Like the Federal Government and The State Government They have NO BUSINESS knowing what I OWN.

Answer 3

I don't think it is feasible. Democrats have run away from the gun control issue since so many of them have gotten burned by it. While I dread the thought of Hillary in the White House again, I don't think any major gun control legislation will become law. Most of the Dems that were elected in the last election cycle are pretty conservative and have already said they wouldn't support any gun contol legislation. Add that to the Repubs and I don't think there is a whole to worry about. Of course a lot of it depends who many Repub congressman and senators lose to dems in the next election.

Answer 4

"Finally, if you own this gun now, what EXACTLY do you need this "wonder weapon" for? Please tell me why you purchased it and what its purpose is."

No. No one owes you or anyone an explanation, apology, or any justification. Read the 2nd Amendment, and keep your opinions out of people's bedrooms (gee that sound familiar you lib troll?).

To answer your first question, she supports HR1022 - which is a farce, and a complete lie aimed solely at destroying the 2nd Amendment rights of citizens by banning most semi-automatic rifles. REAL "assault weapons" are already heavily regulated - HR1022 is a fabrication of the liberal fear machine.

Answer 5

LAST question first: What do I need this "wonder weapon" for? Because I cannot afford 24-hr., around-the-clock seven-days-a-week body guards like the one our taxes pay for to keep people like the Clintons safe for as long as they live. Police men can't be ever where. Policemen react to crime, they seldom prevent it. I know, I have been a policeman most of my adult life.

It is an unsafe world out there, with the two-legged predators preying on the weak, the too-young and the too-old, the naive and the vulnerable. Finally, only those who wish you and others harm need to fear gun ownership. This is why I do not support any politician who is against our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. You have to ask what is their agenda. Control, or total control?

Think about it.

Answer 6

It's a sad world where your choice is between a president who might take away your guns but will make sure you don't die because you can't afford health care and one who will finish destroying the economy and exporting your jobs to China and India. If you don't have a job and can't afford your meds you aren't going to be spending much time shooting.

Sadly the permissive attitude of states like CA and MA actually seems to increase crime whilst restricting gun ownership. It's a shame nobody is for affordable healthcare and the 2nd amendment.

Answer 7

Here are 2:

Hillary Rodham Clinton offered her support for a legislative proposal to license hand guns. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer, would require anyone who wants to purchase a gun to obtain a state-issued photo gun license. “I stand in support of this common sense legislation to license everyone who wishes to purchase a gun,” Clinton said. “I also believe that every new handgun sale or transfer should be registered in a national registry, such as Chuck is proposing.” (Source: CNN.com Jun 2, 2000)

"Tough gun control keeps guns out of wrong hands. I think it does, once again, urge us to think hard about what we can do to make sure that we keep guns out of the hands of children and criminals and mentally unbalanced people. I hope we will come together as a nation and do whatever it takes to keep guns away from people who have no business with them." (Source: Press Release Jul 31, 1999)


I am an American and I have the right to own a firearm. I work as a Deputy Sheriff and I feel the need to carry off duty, for reasons of my safety and the safety of my family. My father carrys because he can. Matter of fact, most of my family carry, once again, because they can.

I own many guns. For example, my AR-15's that I own. I have them, because I like them. Another reason is because I like to work on my shooting skills when I am not at work or at the departments range using the departments ammo. In order to do this, I have to have an AR-15 that is not owned by the department. I don't want that right taken away from me.

She wants to tighten down the laws so those that don't need guns can't have them. If a criminal wants a gun, they will get one. Just like drugs, they have their ways. I think that the people of this country have a right to protect themselfs from the people that will still be getting the guns no matter what laws she proposes. She will just be making it harder to protect ourselves when they do.

Answer 8

I agree with you. Do you the president does not have the power alone to take away guns. Besides , right to bear arms has been part of what this country has built upon. Her trying to take it away (assuming that the u.s. effs up and elects her) is a one way ticket to a quick 4 year term. I have a gun for protection mostly because i live in a some what shady city ( for example i usually hear a siren an hour and i have broken up fights at the grocery store i work at). I have never used it and i pray to god i never have to.

Answer 9

License and register all handgun sales
Hillary Rodham Clinton offered her support for a legislative proposal to license hand guns. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer, would require anyone who wants to purchase a gun to obtain a state-issued photo gun license. “I stand in support of this common sense legislation to license everyone who wishes to purchase a gun,” Clinton said. “I also believe that every new handgun sale or transfer should be registered in a national registry, such as Chuck is proposing.”

Senator Clinton Welcomes Approval of Assault Weapons
Ban and Closure of Gun Show Loophole Provisions


Washington, DC – Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (NY) issued the following statement upon Senate passage of amendments reauthorizing the assault weapons ban and closing the gun show loophole:

"The vote reauthorizing the assault weapons ban is a vote in support of a public safety initiative that works. According to a report issued by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, the assault weapons ban passed ten years ago has resulted in a substantial decline in the use of those weapons in crimes.

Law enforcement officers know this ban has made their work safer which is why so many of them, across the country, lined up to support it. I believe we should put the interests of the men and women who protect us from crime ahead of the interests of the NRA. Assault weapons are designed for one thing – killing people.

Closing the gun show loophole is also a tremendous step forward. That loophole allows people who are otherwise prohibited from buying guns to buy them from unlicensed dealers at gun shows without facing a background check. This includes terrorists and other criminals who are purchasing these guns in order to do violence. Closing the loophole will give meaning and value to our system of requiring background checks for the purchase of guns and will not hinder purchases made by law abiding citizens.

I urge my colleagues in the House to support these provisions and I call on President Bush to ensure they become law."


If elected to the Senate, Mrs. Clinton said she'd work with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) on her bill that would require prospective gun buyers to first obtain a gun license by passing a background check and a safety course exam. The bill would also establish a national registry to record all gun sales.

NOTE: This is the purpose for the national gun registry; "Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of all Americans to feel safe."
--U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein

Answer 10

Waco and Ruby Ridge. During her husbands original candidacy they declared it a co-Presidency.

the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 (never mind no actual assault weapon was banned because they fell under the NFA of 1934)

She has called for ammo that is able to penetrate soft body armor to be banned. That takes care of all deer rifle ammo and the ammo for my coyote rifle.
