Sec of State, Dem Candidate Hillary Clinton on Gun Control

http://thehill.com/regulation/other/239934-hillarys-2016-bid-energizes-supporters-of-gun-control

Gun-control advocates have high hopes for Hillary Clinton’s presidential run, viewing her as an ally who can finish the push for tightened background checks that has stalled in President Obama’s second term.

Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, has been a staunch advocate of gun-control proposals, such as expanding background checks and banning assault weapons. Last summer, she ripped groups that oppose those ideas as out of step with public opinion.

“We cannot let a minority of people, and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people, hold a view point that terrorizes the majority of people,” Clinton said during a CNN town-hall event.

--------------
Clinton is not advocating keeping guns from law abiding citizens.
They are not the problem. Putting safety features in place when purchasing guns is the only reasonable resulotion.

Some of the reactions on the gun control issue today by certain members here are interesting and disappointing.

Hard to expect sensible & reasonable when they see everything in the most extreme.
RW needs to be stopped.
They get worse as the days go on.

This is disturbing on many levels & somehow it must finally stop.

“We cannot let a minority of people, and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people, hold a view point that terrorizes the majority of people.”

They use their money to bully potential candidates into giving in to their wants/goals at the cost of our citizenry. Those politicians are willing to sacrifice innocent lives for their own personal gain.

When will enough be enough? How many people will die before we DO SOMETHING?
