Hillary Clinton is glomming on to the gun issue to try and rebuild her lead in her party’s primary race. According to the Associated Press<\/a>, she’s hitting all of the same tired cliches that they’ve been spouting for a decade or more. <\/p>\n

Clinton has made strengthening gun laws a centerpiece of her presidential campaign, vowing she would use her executive power as president to expand background checks for sellers at gun shows and online and back legislation banning domestic abusers from purchasing guns.<\/p>\n

She also backed congressional efforts to stop retailers from selling guns to people with incomplete background checks, as happened when Dylann Roof, the man charged in the Charleston church shooting, bought his gun.<\/p>\n

“I will try every way I can to get those guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them,” she told voters gathered for a pancake breakfast town hall meeting in Hollis, New Hampshire. “We need to prevent these kinds of terrible crimes that are happening.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are already background checks for 99% of gun show and internet sales. Domestic abusers are already forbidden from buying guns. Check out question 11(i) on the ATF 4473;<\/p>\n

\"ATF<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Of course, it won’t prevent someone with a conviction from lying on the form, especially if their names haven’t been flagged in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). She doesn’t really want to do anything to get the NICS fixed, because then she won’t be able to put gun confiscation on her agenda when nothing improves. <\/p>\n

Clinton knows, like most politicians, that they can’t do anything to prevent criminals from committing crimes with firearms, so they just propose crap laws to make voters “feel” safer, you know, like the TSA does at the airport by molesting every one that comes through the line to make travelers feel safer during their flights.<\/p>\n

Chief Tango sends us a link to the Washington Post, their editorial today which lists the fatalities of the Oregon shooting last week, under the headline “The Price We Pay<\/a>” without mentioning the 120 people killed in Washington DC <\/a>so far this year, all killed with illegal guns. No mention of the more than 2300 people who were shot in Chicago this year (resulting in 359 homicides before September 27th), either, or the 246 homicides in Baltimore<\/a>. <\/p>\n

By the way, Bernie Sanders weighed in on the issue while he was in Boston this weekend; “Guns should not be in the hands of people who should not have them”. I think we can all agree with that profound statement. By the way, I don’t think Democrats are going to like that Bernie Sanders has a higher rating from the NRA<\/a> than Hillary. He couldn’t get elected in Vermont without voting in favor of guns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
