Hillary promises to be the gun control President

In order to capitalize on Vester Flanagan’s murderous rampage yesterday, Hillary Clinton, the presidential candidate, promised supporters that she will be the President to end gun violence yesterday while she was on the campaign trail, according to the Washington Times;

“We have got to do something about gun violence in America — and I will take it on,” Mrs. Clinton said in an on-camera statement to reports while on campaign trail in Iowa.

Mrs. Clinton said that there was evidence that tougher gun laws would stop the gun violence, but gun-rights advocates dispute those claims.

“It happens every day and there is so much evidence that if guns were not so readily available, if we had universal background checks, if we could put some timeout between the person who is upset because he got fired or the domestic abuse or whatever other motivation may be working on someone who does this — that maybe we could prevent this kind of carnage,” Mrs. Clinton said.

“Tougher gun laws” translates to gun-bans. That’s how her husband did it. There are universal background checks, the three gun dealers from whom I bought firearms at gun shows all required that I go through background checks. The FBI admits that their interviews with criminals found that less than one percent had bought their firearms at gun shows. Has there ever been a mass-shooting incident where the gunman used a gun he bought at a gun show? It’s more likely that a criminal would buy their gun by lying on their federal form like the fellow in South Carolina earlier this year. Or from a guy in a dark parking lot.

As far as a “timeout” goes, didn’t Flanagan get fired from the TV station in February of 2013? So how much of a timeout are we looking at here, Hil? The Guardian reports that the TV station told Flanagan to seek mental health care in order to save his job. He didn’t, so there was no mental health flag on his NICS background check. You know, despite the fact that he wrote that he was a “powder keg” and about to “blow”.

Hillary had better check her demographics map – a third of American families have guns in their homes. There are enough privately-owned guns in the country to arm every American. Those kinds of stats are going to be tough to beat at the polls. Guess what? The majority of those guns are used legally every day in the country. Legal and law-abiding gun owners have done a great job of not shooting people…every day.

By the way, the number of women who own guns in the US has been climbing steadily in the past few years.
