Hillary Clinton told delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention she had no interest in taking away anyone's guns but didn't want others to be a victim of firearm violence.

Speaking in Philadelphia, Clinton said:

"I'm not here to repeal the 2nd Amendment.

I'm not here to take away your guns.

I just don't want you to be shot by someone who shouldn't have a gun in the first place."

Clinton said Congress and elected officials should be working with "responsible gun owners" to pass "common-sense reforms" to keep guns out of the hands of "criminals, terrorists and all others who would do us harm."

"For decades, people have said this issue was too hard to solve and the politics were too hot to touch. But I ask you: how can we just stand by and do nothing? You heard, you saw, family members of people killed by gun violence. You heard, you saw, family members of police officers killed in the line of duty because they were outgunned by criminals.

"I refuse to believe we can't find common ground here," she said.

The National Rifle Association has backed Clinton's opponent, Republican Donald Trump. It has hit Clinton all day on social media:

"Common ground"

Right up there with "compromise".

[vmtcmt]

Uh-huh. Yeah, sure you're not.

[Huntington Guy]

How can you tell when Hillary is lying?

Her lips are moving... Ba dum bumb...I'm here till Thursday😜

[C6NY]

The recent clandestine videos are out, the democrats plan of attack is to say, "we're not going to take your guns, we want to work with gun owners to reach a workable compromise". Then go for full confiscation. We gun owners knew all along that's what they have done, are doing and will continue to do.

That looks like the creature her shrill, piercing voice should come out of.

[warmnfuzzy]

yeah right . the hag will leave us with muskets and no powder

[Mad Russian]

She's not going to take our guns, she's going to make us surrender them...

Yup. That's how it will be spun.

Just like Obama and Obamacare didn't force people off theor beloved health insurance plans or away from their doctors, it was the evil insurance companies and greedy doctors that did it.

"The NRA fought for my rights long before I knew I needed them." (From the vid)

A great line.

A great line.

And that's just it - people rarely think about Constitutional Rights until it directly impacts THEM.

But by then it could be too late.

And hubby did not have sex with those women. And yet sheeple believe the shit that spews from her mouth and blindly follow her.

[LiDad]

Arguing (again) with my sister-in-law about her.

She says Hillary will be a "champion for American women" and will be the "best four years yet" - OMG!

I've been thinking about that a little, I need to ponder more. Assume for a moment it was a national confiscation, an outright ban.... I suspect various upstanding citizens would simply acquire undocumented firearms and flout the law, keeping a stash of ammo in hand. Whether it's for home defense, hunting, prepping / other. Knife ownership would certainly rise.

Many 'makers' would likely start up CNC garage projects, making/milling parts as needed.

I also suspect we'd see a shift away from 'forums' into private invite local malitia meetings.... Where guns are brought together, admired, sold, discussed and maintained. Such meetings would be a breeding ground for discontent, ala 1770s. Most groups would be passive, some would not.

hmm. I wonder what scenarios the disaster planners at the NRA have worked through.

An outright ban promote the above, a better political game is for the banners to slowly chip away at our Rights, reducing over many years our ability to own / carry..... Oh, wait, that feels familiar.
