“It matters to me that my mom also recognizes the role the Supreme Court has when it comes to gun control. With Justice Scalia on the bench, one of the few areas where the Court actually had an inconsistent record relates to gun control,” Clinton said. “Sometimes the Court upheld local and state gun control measures as being compliant with the Second Amendment and sometimes the Court struck them down. So if you listen to Moms Demand Action, and the Brady Campaign, and major efforts pushing for smart, sensible, and enforceable gun control gun control across our country. Who in full disclosure have endorsed my mom. They say they believe that the next time the Court rules on gun control it will make a definitive ruling. So it matters to me that my mom's the only person running for President who not only constantly makes that connection, but also has a strong record on gun control and standing up to the NRA. This is one of those issues I did not know I could care about more until I became a mother. And I think every day about the Sandy Hook families whose children every day don't come home from school. And I can't even imagine that living horror and tragedy."
Well put right? I think Chelsea did a pretty admirable job of making the case that her mom is the right choice if we want to help prevent more tragedies like Sandy Hook, or Columbine, or other mass shootings we have seen lately by creating more responsible and reasonable gun control laws.
Don't you agree?
Well if you do that is because you are an anti-2nd Amendment, "gun grabbing," liberal, latte drinking, Prius driving, traitor hell bent on destroying the very fabric of American society.
At least according to Right Wing news sites like WND, Gateway Pundit, and Cain TV.
Here are a few of the less profane comments gleaned from those outlets:
The left is coming after your guns.
This is not a conspiracy. They’re actually saying it.
Wave buh-bye to your rights.
Just stay home, make lots of babies and leave us the FU*K alone!
The only reason Chelsea survived the Hollary Perp's serial abortion Chop Shop is that mommy dumbest needed a political prop on Bill the Rapist's advice.
True story.
Okay it really just gets worse from there but you get the idea.
I actually think that Hilary showed real courage in making gun control a central part of her campaign.
She knows that this will energize the wing nuts and inspire the NRA to spend many millions of dollars to defeat her and yet she's doing it anyway.
You're up, Bristol! I mean, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteWe all KNOW it's coming.
Mommy fights. OH JOY.
In 1998, McCain made a joke during a speech at a Republican fundraiser about President Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, saying: "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."[86] The joke was thought so offensive that many newspapers declined to print it verbatim;[86] McCain's biographer Robert Timberg would characterize it as "an unspeakable thing to say, unworthy of him."[87] McCain subsequently said: "This is the bad boy. It was stupid and cruel and insensitive. I've apologized. I can't take it back."[88] His letter of apology to President Clinton was described as "abject, contrite, and profuse."[87] In response, White House spokesman Mike McCurry said: "To make a further issue of the matter would lend further exposure to an offensive joke. In light of the senator's apology, they [the first family] decided to drop the matter."[89]

History will not be kind to John McCain.
Bristol has avoided commenting on Todd's accident, hmmmmm.
DeleteYeah. we want your guns. It seems you 2nd amendment types have no idea how to keep them locked, uno;faded,a nd out the hands of children. So we're going tot are them away so you aren't shot by your toddler, attending your toddler's funeral after he shoots himself, or watching Grandma bleed out on the bedroom floor because Gramps left his guns in an unlocked bureau drawer and the grandkids thought they were toys and started playing cops and robbers. Either grow up and act like adults around these killing weapons, or we WILL come get them, or your dead body, whichever comes first.
ReplyDeleteI guess I don't get it. What's so important about guns? With all the problems we have, and many are directly related to guns ironically, why is the right to own guns without regulation so god damn important?
ReplyDeleteMildred
Because gun owners feel impotent without them, and they're not emotionally mature enough to move beyond that.
DeleteBecause the gun industry spends LOTS on lobbying to convince people that it is a constitutional issue.
DeleteToo many gun owners, perhaps even the majority, think that someday, there will be a mass shooting and they'll be there, and they can Save the Day. It'll never happen, because those Bruce Willis movies they run in their head, they're fiction. For entertainment. Even Bruce Willis isn't Bruce Willis. Those are stunt doubles.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I read about it, some 92% of the population favor sensible gun laws: background checks. No fully-automatic weapons. Gun locks and safes, mandatory. And yes, registry. So the cops can find out, if they're called to your neighborhood, who has the guns and might be dangerous.
Idiots.
Incidentally, Chelsea Clinton has a doctorate from Oxford. England, people. One of the world's top universities. Only attended by very intelligent people.
Calling her stupid? Just demonstrates their stupidity.
(sarcasm alert ahead) A doctorate from Oxford (which assumes a master's before that and a bachelors degree before that)? Gee, how can that possibly compare to a non-degree from five schools in six years? Scary Pay-me went to FIVE schools and Chelsea Clinton only went to THREE, so Scary wins! (end sarcasm)
DeleteI don't think there's a "stupid" bone in Chelsea Clinton's body, unlike the kids of a jealous Alaskan former governor.

ReplyDelete^^This describes the archetypal appeal of "the beautiful passionate loser."
DeleteA woman with her education urging people to listen to and vote for "[my] mom"? Oh, please. And now that you're a mother, you care about the issue? Well, better late than never.
ReplyDelete10:26--a woman with intelligence and education explaining why her mother would be the better choice. Of course, Chelsea is not a high-school dropout town bicycle with two FAS children, but maybe that's who you prefer

God does work in mysterious ways.
Dubya lifted the ban on assault weapons and a GOP-controlled Congress let the Brady Bill expire. Like double hockeys will I EVER vote for a Republican again!
ReplyDeleteGood for Chelsea Clinton. But I bet she's quaking in her boots until Bristol Palin weighs in with photos of Tripp, Trig and Sailor armed to the teeth - out there protecting their family's Second Amendment rights.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
I'm sorry to say that we could have a President who is vehemently against firearms and we STILL won't get anything done - unless and until we ALL vote out the jackasses in Congress who ignore the desires of the vast majority of the population and vote in favor of the gun producers and buyers.
ReplyDeleteVOTE! Get the assholes out so we can have some intelligence (hopefully) in that building!
too bad we can not count on Bernie bros to vote
Delete7:58 - Agree, as many are not even registered.
DeleteUnfortunately, like most of what comes out of the Billary camp this is all bullshit. When someone actually ASKS Hillary and not one of her operatives, she can't give an answer about gun control. She has no clue whether she's for it or against it. Kind of like war, greed and adultery. She's all for it unless it directly affects her and since there hasn't been a Clinton shot yet, she will do nothing about gun control.
ReplyDeleteNot true. Ask Bernie Sanders about gun control or Donald Trump or Ted Cruz or any other GOP wannabe. But Hillary Clinton has been quite clear about her position on gun control.
DeleteBeaglemom
stay tuned 6:43
DeleteYou are about to hear Hillary explain a lot about this during the general election campaign.
WTF? How dare you? Is that a threat to HRC?
Delete6:43 should be reported for making a threat
Delete6:43 is a cyber-pussy.
DeleteRight beaglemom. Just like Clinton has been "quite clear" about her position on the minimum wage: $12 until Sanders called her out at the debate and then she was for $15 and the $12 position was changed the next day on her website. So too with gun control. She's been clear about her position many times - each time she's clear about it it's a different position. Clinton's like a tree in the wind blowing whatever direction she thinks will benefit her.
Delete10:22 - Clinton believes in incremental change. Sanders believes in NO CHANGE, as he never gets anything passed.
Delete@Gryph How come no mention of the multi-billion dollar arms deals Hillary approved as Sec. of State to countries with despicable human rights records?
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't count?
She even approved huge contracts for the manufacturer of the weapon used at Sandy Hook.
But SHE'S the "gun control candidate?"
How about her vote AGAINST a ban on Cluster Bombs, which continue to kill children in particular for YEARS after they are deployed?
These are serious questions.
7:27 - you think Hillary was both President and Secretary of State? Any arms sales were made becauseThe President (that's Obama, by the way) said to do it! It's as if you don't know how gov't works!
DeleteYou need a civics lesson.
I didn't imply that in any way. Arms sales are approved by the State Department. They are signed-off on by the Secretary.
DeleteAre you implying that Hillary just did whatever Obama told her to?
Clinton flipped on this for political expediency: to have an issue where it looks like she's dramatically different from Sanders. Sadly, she'll predictably flop on it if she makes it to the general and the Sandy Hook parents she's pandering now will be under the bus by October.
ReplyDeleteBingo. To show what a hypocrite Hillary Clinton is on this issue, all the NRA needs to do is make an obscenely big contribution to the Clinton foundation, and she will be happy to accommodate them. Look at her actions: Her State Department ok'd the selling of arms to several problematic countries once they broke out the checkbook and wrote a great big one to the Clinton Foundation.
DeleteNotice: All Sore losers pile on here. Please, provide no facts - just conjecture--as you did to lose the primary.

We are awaiting Bristol Palin's expert opinions on her Mom's qualifications to be a Judge. She is qualified, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteI guess it'll take Bristol a couple dozen kids before she realizes how horrific mass killing of innocent children isn't covered by the second amendment.
ReplyDeleteI do have to give high props to both her parents and for her own hard work and education, it's an investment that clearly has paid off.
Imagine the big chinned girl with the sippie cup speaking on behalf of her mother like Chelsea did, or even Nancy French herself?
