Clinton: 'Nothing is more powerful than the gun lobby’

Wolfie · March 14 2016 08:44:17 PM MDT

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Monday said enacting tighter firearms regulations requires overwhelming voter support, given the strength of gun lobbyists.

"Nothing is more powerful than the gun lobby," she told host Chris Matthews during a MSNBC town hall in Springfield, Ill. "This is an issue I am so profoundly disturbed about. We have to take on the gun lobby. The gun lobby really intimidates elected officials. We have got to make this a voting issue."

I think the 'Global Climate Change' guys have the gun lobby beat.

Poor Hillary.

She honestly believes the "gun lobby" is a small, well financed group. Not a majority of US citizens.

And the climate change guys have better data on their side.

Actually no one, including her, has any idea what she "believes." Her only discernible belief is that what helps her is good and everything else bad. And the climate change guys have nothing but junk science on their side.

President Obama is very upset about Global Warming. In fact, he just directed his Attorney General to send a sternly worded letter to the sun.

Typical Democrat: forced analysis and solution to a non-existent problem.

Just curious, do you guys follow, state, county or local politics?

I don't give a shit that liberal intelligentsia are all in for Hillary, this only further proves Hillary represents the maximum threat to personal freedom and liberty, let alone actual enumerated rights that are supposedly protected.

The left has made such a bogey man of the "NRA", Hillary actually believes it. She's THAT stupid.

All it proves is it doesn't matter if its D's or R's after the name, they are all nanny state advocates. Seem like its all levels of government. All don't respect peoples natural rights.

Oh, we are after those more powerful than the gun lobby....

1. The BAR association... British Accreditation Regency - non-government union that has locked everyone else out of the courts.

2. The World Bank - controls the "Federal Reserve" which is a private bank. Sucks up as much wealth out of the U.S. as possible.

3. The Political Parties that has a stranglehold on who has any chance to be elected.

4. Big business who locks out the little guy by being cozy with government, passing tax breaks while they require licenses, permits, and authorization the smaller cannot afford or meet.

5. The government that passes more and more regulation, to collect more and more fine money, confiscate more and more property, imprison more and more people that have harmed no one, and stolen more and more rights by hiding those rights by deception and brain washing.

There are likely many more too.

The NRA: the only organization in America that gets blamed for actions none of its members commit.

Care to elaborate?

Are you saying no NRA member has ever committed a crime? There are 5 million members. I am sure there are a few rapists, murderers, pedophiles, etc that are in the NRA.
