Hillary Clinton told an audience of mental health professionals on Tuesday that the United States needs to rein in its gun culture or risk a world where insignificant disagreements could lead to shootings.
Asked about the mental health aspects of guns, Clinton said "I think we've got to rein in what has become a almost article faith that anybody can have a gun, anywhere, anytime. I don't believe that is in the best interest of the vast majority of people."
"We really have got to get our arms around it because at the rate we are going, we are going to have so many people with guns everywhere fully licensed, fully validated," Clinton said, painting a picture of a country where small annoyances could lead to shootings.
Clinton, whose comments came during the question and answer portion at the end of her appearance, said because "we are living at a time when there is so much external stimulation and some much internal confusion in certain people," it would be a bad idea to let people "go to bars with guns, let them go to schools with guns, let them go to church with guns."
Referencing a shooting earlier this year where a 71-year old retired police officer shot a 43-year old man texting in a movie theater, Clinton said people thinking they "have the right to defend themselves against the gum chewer and the cell phone user by shooting the person" is reminiscent of countries she visited "with no rule of law and self control."

“it would be a bad idea to let people “go to bars with guns, let them go to schools with guns, let them go to church with guns.”
Let them, let them, let them. The mind of a fascist.
She will ‘let you’ eat broccoli. Be grateful, you slug!
Everywhere Hillary goes she has a gun with her. It is mighty hypocritical of her to say others can’t.
Well, we know what not letting responsible people carry guns into schools, etc. gets.
Feel free,sweetie,to try to amend the Constitution if you wish.Otherwise.....shut the hell up!
It isn’t just that. It is a world view.
They grow up in a world where firearms are only all BAD. Yes their security guards have them, and so do police, but if we can only perfect mankind there would be no need for arms at all.
This is also why the elite’s can’t seem to grasp why the West is at war with Islam. They think deep down all muslims want to be posh New Yorkers. They can not understand anyone who has different objectives.
Unfortunately, utopian dreamers always become despots when human nature fails to conform to what they want to be.
If I refuse will sahe “let me” live? Likely only till the train reaches its destination.
You do realize that there is a push for a new Constitutional convention. I heard on the news they had enough states lined up to do it also.
The 2nd will not last the first cut.
I thank God the Liberals don't like guns. Except for their bodyguards.
Why can’t she rein in her fat stomach first? Get a girdle, Hillary!
Come on Hitlary , If you want to take our guns just say so. Enough of this jerking us off bull. Let’s do this now.
Besides if you’re worried about assassination the secret service will be able to see someone with an elephant gun coming a mile away for your fat ass.
I agree. I’m not a constitutional convention advocate. It’s almost guaranteed to be controlled by establishment types.
“it would be a bad idea to let people “go to bars with guns, let them go to schools with guns, let them go to church with guns.”
Well, the “bad guys” with intent to kill (often times felons) do this on a regular basis already, right?
“.. at the rate we are going, we are going to have so many people with guns everywhere fully licensed, fully validated,”
“.. a[n] almost article faith that anybody can have a gun, anywhere, anytime.”
“..go to bars with guns, let them go to schools with guns, let them go to church with guns.”
Edited out a bit, I dont see a problem with any of her statements above.
The thing that should be reined in is letting clintons shoot their mouthz off in pubic.
Just trying to remember: She mentioned gum-chew rage and cell phone rage. she might have mentioned skittles rage. But she left out the sound of a banshee shrieking kegleg that might inspire a shooting.
Let’s start with the security detail.
When tyrants speak, useful idiots listen.

1. Once Obamacare and the IRS are settled in, the Democrats will try to find a way to make provision of health services, particularly mental health services, contingent upon “gun control” and the patient;
2. “gun control” is a euphemism for firearms confiscation.
