Clinton went even further on this issue yesterday than she ever has before:She criticized the Supreme Court for its rulings expanding the Second Amendment.
Rulings Pistol-Packin' Bernie supports 100%.
This article from a pro-gun website complains about her ultra-progressive stance on guns:
All Clinton is doing is courting the most progressive elements of the Democratic base, which yearns for a candidate that will challenge the NRA and enact new gun control laws.
You go on and on and yet produce no reason to believe he is in the pockets of the gun manufacturers. Show me their donations to his campaign, explain to me why the NRA gives him a D-, or an F, I've read both. Why should this one thing, as important as it is, supersede all the issues important to me that he blows Clinton away on?
I'm not a Sanders supporter (the SNL title Human Lorax sums him up well), but don't socialism and anti-gun legislature sort of part ways ideologically? One would think a drive to reform with the former would likely provoke a theoretical violent response, necessitating defense.
The Clinton supporters have nothing other than the theory she can win and bring the right kind of SC judges that are inevitably going to come about? In the next 4 years? No morality, no stick up for the poor, sad.
Oh,m stop with the Headband yapping about her supposed lack of morality.
She's got plenty of morality and integrity and, in the end, she will accomplish more for the poor--and the forgotten middle class--than Bernie ever could manage to accomplish in his pie-eyed dreams.
I don't even know how to respond to this story. I keep reading it trying to make sense of it because the details are scant, but somehow this was a situation where an 11 year old had two guns at his disposal. The BB gun was probably his, right? That we still have BB guns in 2015... you think they'd have gone the way of candy cigarettes, but nope. It's crazy.
I pity the kid, having grown up in a redneck family that consider guns a hobby, like reading or collecting stamps. The parents are the kind of people who probably forward the Facebook memes that joke about shooting their teenage daughter's dates or some other thing where the punchline is about someone is gonna get shot. This boy was almost certainly raised to believe that a gun is the answer to anything life throws at you and he was probably taught to fetishize them at any early age. And these are the kind of people who post comments on those articles, never able to once examine the fact that a culture that fetishize guns will inevitably lead to tragedies such as this.
I wish I go could say I'm going somewhere with this, but I'm just so defeated by it.
I'm thinking about praying! Not thinking about it like I'm considering praying, I'm just thinking about what it's like to pray. I guess I do kind of pray I'm never murdered by a gun, but this is America, so I could be murdered by a gun at any time, and it would most likely be by someone I knew!
