I think that we\u2019ve got to rein in what has become an almost article of faith that anybody can have a gun anywhere, anytime,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t believe that is in the best interest of the vast majority of people. And I think you can say that and still support the right of people to own guns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic-controlled Senate voted against legislation pushed by President Barack Obama last year that would have expanded background checks for firearm purchases to gun shows and online sales. The legislation came in the aftermath of the deadly Sandy Hook elementary school shootings in Connecticut.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well not anyone can own a gun to begin with, Hillary. Only the law abiding citizens. And even us law abiding citizens can carry just anywhere. We&#8217;re restricted from carrying in government and law enforcement buildings &#8211; anytime. Some states forbid folks from carrying in establishments that serve alcohol. Not here in West Virginia, but other states do. I&#8217;m not aware of any shootings in West Virginia in bars or restaurants. <\/p>\n<p>The problem isn&#8217;t law abiding citizens who have passed background checks and taken the training required for concealed carry permits. The gatekeeper, the National Identification Checks System, suffers from garbage in, garbage out. If the unbalanced people aren&#8217;t entered into the system, they&#8217;re going to get guns.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[Clinton pointed] to recent shootings that involved teens who had been playing loud music and chewing gum and a separate incident involving the typing of text messages in a movie theater.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Last I checked, teens aren&#8217;t allowed to have guns, so her point is mute. Restricting legal gun owners won&#8217;t change that, will it? Well, at least you know the future of gun laws in the first few months of a Clinton Administration, if she&#8217;s dragging out this tired subject this early in her campaign. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Times reports that Hillary Clinton doesn&#8217;t think you should be able to take your &hellip; <a title=\"Clinton opposes CCW\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=46180\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Clinton opposes CCW<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46180\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
