Gun Control & RKBA
Related: About this forumTrump Distorts Clinton’s Gun Stance
Trump made his remarks at a rally in Lynden, Washington, eliciting boos from his audience. As we have written before, Trump made a similar remark in a TV interview on Jan. 6, when he claimed Clinton “wants to take everyone’s gun away.”
Trump, May 7: Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to abolish it. Hillary Clinton wants to take your guns away and she wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to take the bullets away. She wants to take it.
Clinton has a gun violence prevention proposal on her website, which would deny gun owners from buying certain guns and block or delay the ability of some to purchase guns. But it does not call for taking any guns away.

Right?

(1,941 posts)I support Clinton, but I think she made a small mistake a few months ago during one of the town halls when Australian gun control was mentioned. She makes a nuanced statement that doesn't mention the mandatory nature of the buybacks but goes on to say that the Australian model is something that we should consider.
Anyone who praises Australian or U.K. like gun laws in the context of what the U.S. should do is ultimately talking about confiscation. In any event, a Clinton election will be very good for the cause and the industry. Keep in mind, it was George W. Bush who signed off on the Brady and NRA supported NICS Amendments and Improvements Act of 2007. Obama on the other hand had the ATF remove CLEO sign off on NFA items.

(12,148 posts)a fact which she may not be aware of, but of which Bloomberg et al certainly are. Gun owners do not oppose "assault weapon" bans because we see them as a slippery slope, but because "assault weapon" and magazine bans are the pile of rocks at the bottom of that slope that we are trying to avoid. "Assault weapons" are even legal in Canada and most of Europe, for Pete's sake.
As to the Second Amendment: If a ban can be enacted on guns that are among the most popular civilian guns in U.S. homes, yet kill fewer than 5 people per state per year, then what's to stop a ban on guns that are vastly more misused?
