Breitbart – by AWR HawkinsDuring a June 17 CNN townhall, Hillary Clinton said she wants to implement an assault weapons ban and “high capacity” magazine ban to keep people from entering school property “with an automatic weapon” to “murder innocent children, students, teachers.”
In the video of the event, a Maryland school teacher asked Hillary if she thought banning “assault weapons” or “high capacity” magazines “would do any good.” Hillary said, “Yes,” then expounded:
First of all, I think as a teacher or really any parent, what’s been happening with these school shootings should cause everybody to just think hard. We make hard choices and we balance competing values all the time. And I was disappointed that the Congress did not pass universal background checks after the horrors of the shootings at Sandy Hook, and now we’ve had more in the time since. And I don’t think any parent–any person–should have to fear about their child going to school or going to college because someone, for whatever reason–psychological, emotional, political, [ideological], whatever it means–could possibly enter that school property with an automatic weapon and murder innocent children, students, teachers.
Clinton went on to say, “We cannot let a minority of people… hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people.”
She concluded:
My view is, yes we need to thrash this out in the political realm. But the vast majority of Americans–even law-abiding gun owners–want background checks that work, information that is shared immediately, and an awareness that we’re going to have to do a better job protecting the vast majority of our citizens–including our children–from that very, very small group that is unfortunately prone to violence, and now with automatic weapons, can wreak so much more violence.
Unfortunately for Hillary, this statement has yielded another gaffe for her book launch press blitz. No one is using “automatic weapons,” which are already illegal, in school shootings. Secondly, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV)–author of the Manchin-Toomey gun control bill that didn’t pass–admitted that his bill would not have stopped the heinous crime at Sandy Hook Elementary. And Breitbart News has reported that the bill would not have stopped the attacks at Santa Barbara, Troutdale Oregon, Fort Hood (April 2014), Arapahoe High School, LAX, Fort Hood (Nov. 2009), or the Aurora theater, among other crimes, either.

Actually,unless recently changed,you could get a automatic weapons tax stamp and own a automatic weapon,not sure if still true,that said,weapons that made the news not automatic excepting weapons used by govt. thugs to kill civilians/dogs ect. perhaps.
Just another line of BS from the want to be Bitch in Chief that has no clue as to what is IS…..
James, while true, it is a pain. If you live in a State that “allows” you to own a full auto, you apply, pay your tax of ~ $200.00, then wait ~ 6 months to be “approved” by the BATFE. Then you may buy one manufactured before 1986 and pay upwards of $10,000.00 for the “privilege”.
exactly, and how many of those people that have those type of licences go out on shooting sprees or do false flags for our government?
A big Goose Egg …Zero
kinda blows their argument out of the water dont it?
A pain Bill?A jewelers file not too bad!I actually really wouldn’t want a automatic weapon except to just piss off firearm control fanatics that I had one.
They are not automatic weapons you stupid bitch. There is only two states you can get an automatic weapons license and Nevada is one of them. It takes a background(in-depth) check from the FBI and money to get one. Get your story straight before you open that sewage hole of yours and spew your lies.
But Hillary, if they do this, you wont have anything to use as False Flags
you really arnt that smart are you? but I guess what does it matter now?
go die of your brain tumor bitch
“Clinton went on to say, “We cannot let a minority of people… hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people.””
BAHAHAAHAHAAHA!!!! ROLMFAO!!!
Oh man, she’s truly living in her own delusional world.
Actually, now that I think about it, you’re absolutely right Hitlery. We cannot let a minority of people (the elite) hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people (We the People)
Oh that’s not what you meant? Well you should have made your statement a little more clearer.
