Hillary Clinton thinks there are "too many guns"
Not a surprising comment coming from her...
Re: Hillary Clinton thinks there are "too many guns"
Well, I happen to think there are too many Clintons.

There aren't too many guns. There are too many Hillary Clintons.

Sounds like a good problem to have.
If you also have too many guns, I offer a disposal service. Just bring your unwanted's and I'll take them for you

Re: Hillary Clinton thinks there are "too many guns"
How many is too many (guns, that is, NOT Clintons)? The political class, which certainly includes the Clintons, seems to think that any guns in the hands of people they cannot control are too many. As for me, two might suffice where one is required.

Re: Hillary Clinton thinks there are "too many guns"
If Hillary really thinks there are too many guns, then she should take the lead in getting rid of as many as possible... starting with her entire security detail.
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. - John Adams

Re: Hillary Clinton thinks there are "too many guns"
To tease her a bit more, I am buying more guns. I would say she has too much money. Take away all her money and give it the Farmers with Sickles and Iron Workers with a Hammer.

That tax refund needs to hurry up and get here so I can stock up before the rhetoric really heats up and we start seeing shortages.....

Re: Hillary Clinton thinks there are "too many guns"
She says that guns kill 33,000 people a year in the U.S. Looking at total deaths involving guns over the last 3 years, this is pretty consistent.
That includes 21,000 suicides. I would argue those folks are killed by themselves, not by a gun. The gun is simply the tool chosen for that task. There are plenty of other tools available.
Of the remaining 12,000, a scant 500 or so are "unintentional deaths" so much for the epidemic of toddlers shooting people. 270 are from "undetermined causes", 600 or so are justifiable gun homicides (I guess the whole "stand your ground" thing isn't all that impactful either.
That leaves a little over 11,000 gun homicides a year (I'm presuming this includes righteous police shootings since there is no way these can all be included in the 600 justifiable homicides. But even if these are all criminal acts, what percentage of the killings would not have happened if no guns existed? There are knives, bricks, hammers, and various other tools that could just as easily be used. Let's be generous to the liberals and say half of all gun homicides would have just been assaults if guns never ever existed. That leaves 5,500 deaths that could truly be linked to the existence of guns, at the absolute most.
Every life is precious, but we are no where even remotely close to the point where we need to consider infringing on a fundamental individual right. We just aren't.

She should protest by insisting the Secret Service detail assigned to protecting her be unarmed and announce it to the world.

Re: Hillary Clinton thinks there are "too many guns"
In that case, why waste the manpower and put good people in harm's way for someone who doesn't appreciate it? Just let her go about her business without any guards of any sort paid with the taxpayer's dollar.Abraham wrote:She should protest by insisting the Secret Service detail assigned to protecting her be unarmed and announce it to the world.
