The Democratic nominee for President, Hillary Clinton, has outrageously claimed she supports the Second Amendment of the Constitution. The Second Amendment affirms a preexisting right of Americans to keep and bear arms. Consistent with her political strategy of obfuscation by having both a “public and private position” on matters, Clinton has attempted to pull the wool over the eyes of gun-owning voters. She has humorously claimed her gun control proposals will actually help protect gun rights.
A cursory review of her “private” position lays bare her true intentions: She has vowed to ban commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms. She hopes to expand a flawed background check system that would prohibit Americans from bequeathing heirlooms without the approval of a bureaucrat. She wants to put Americans on secret government watch lists – without due process – to prohibit them from lawfully purchasing firearms. Clinton promises to accomplish all of this via executive fiat.
She’s shown contempt for the landmark Heller and McDonald court decisions dismissing them as being “wrongly decided” when it came to affirming an individual right to keep and bear arms. She has promised to reverse these decisions by loading the court with anti-gun jurists.
Finally, and perhaps most tellingly, was Clinton’s response to a question from a town hall meeting in Keene, concerning the Australian government’s firearm confiscation program. Clinton seemingly endorsed the idea of applying the model here noting it’s “worth looking at”.
Don’t be fooled.
If you are a responsible, self-respecting gun-owning American, don’t vote for Hillary Clinton.
