Hillary Clinton: Gun culture 'way out of balance'

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the nation's gun culture has gotten "way out of balance" and the U.S. needs to rein in the notion that "anybody can have a gun, anywhere, anytime."

The former secretary of state and potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said the idea that anyone can have a gun is not in the "best interest of the vast majority of people." But she said that approach does not conflict with the rights of people to own firearms.

Clinton waded into the polarizing issue of gun politics during an appearance at the National Council for Behavioral Health conference in Oxon Hill, Maryland, pointing to recent shootings that involved teens who had been playing loud music and chewing gum and a separate incident involving the typing of text messages in a movie theater.

"I think again we're way out of balance. I think that we've got to rein in what has become an almost article of faith that anybody can have a gun anywhere, anytime," Clinton said. "And I don't believe that is in the best interest of the vast majority of people. And I think you can say that and still support the right of people to own guns."

Hillary Clinton: Gun culture 'way out of balance'

Is Hilary hinting at an crackdown on black ownership of guns?

Cuz that's the only "culture" that has a murder/crime rate that's destroying own cities, re Detriot, Oakland, New Orleans, etc.

Of course she's not the first Democrat in support of the suppression of blacks owning guns.

See KKK, Jim Crow laws, the Democratic Party

strangely enough, the abortion culture of the dems has killed far more people in the US then guns ever have

fact: #1 cause of death in the US.... abortion.

1 in 4 babies killed since 1974

Hillary was likely one of the architects of Fast & Furious. I trust her like a snake

And according to El Paso Times she had her own thing going on with a cartel.

She’s right. I think a 1911 on the left hip would balance things out.

Clintons.

Is there anything they don’t know?

Seriously, at this point, Hillary, what difference does it make?

Another progressive beating their chest, “I want it my way!”

“Damn the Constitution!” “I want it my way!”

Free phone, free internet, free cable TV and free food stamps and she might just get it.

Oh and free health care....

Life is a bitch if you have a job and care about freedom.

Easier just to sit back, smoke a doobie and obey the leader.

“We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans...

When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly ... [Now] there’s a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there’s too much freedom. When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it.

If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government’s ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.

-Bill Clinton

This quote is in the Clinton archives. I know because I went to a Repository library and looked it up.

She’s a liar. She cannot abide the right to keep and bear arms. She is possessed by the fascist notion that only the state should have arms.

We have weapons to protect oueprselces from the likes of her.
