Possible 2016 candidate wades into politically charged issue.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lashed out at opponents of gun control regulations Tuesday, saying they hold a viewpoint that “terrorizes” the majority of Americans.
“We cannot let a minority of people, and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people, hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people,” Clinton said during a live CNN town hall. The comments were Clinton’s deepest foray into an exceedingly controversial political subject since leaving the State Department last year.
“I was disappointed that the Congress did not pass universal background checks after the horrors of the shootings at Sandy Hook,” she said in response to a question from a school teacher in the audience. “I don’t think any parent, or 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, could possibly enter that school property with an automatic weapon and murder innocent children, students, teachers.”
“I will speak out [on this subject] no matter what role I find myself in,” Clinton pledged, referring to her consideration of a presidential bid in 2016.
The outspoken position on gun control legislation is a clear appeal to the overwhelming majority of Americans who support expanding background check requirements before gun purchases, but it’s sure to inflame gun rights activists and the National Rifle Association, which blocked legislation in the Senate last year. It could also backfire by alienating moderate gun owners.
Responding to Sunday’s apprehension of Ahmed Abu Khatallah, allegedly a “key figure” in the 2012 attacks on an American consulate in Benghazi, Clinton said she hoped questioning would reveal more about what happened on the ground on the night of the attack....

Revolt is coming.
Stick a fork, she is done.
Sort of says a lot about her world view and her willingness to work with others to forge a consensus. Probably why she accomplished absolutely nothing as Secretary of State and that her Presidency would make Obama look like a someone who worked with the opposition to get things done.
This witch has the nerve to imply that “universal background checks” would have prevented Sandy Hook?
The little psycho Adam Lanza STOLE the weapons he used in his shooting spree from his mother, who legally purchased the firearms.
Also, remember Charles Colson, who went to prison during the Watergate era for having ONE FBI file in his possession?
Bill and Hill had what, 920 files of Republicans in their possession? They should be convicted felons, and should have gone to prison for a long time.
Dear Hillary the Great (Queen of the House of Morons),
It appears that you are stating that it is okay for a majority of the people to terrorize the minority.
If you actually understand the law, it is illegal for anyone to terrorize anyone else, no matter how many people are involved.
So let me get this straight – we can’t call the Islamo fascist murdering thugs of ISIS [Who are using the tools of terror every day] ‘terrorists’ - instead they are ‘militants’ and ‘insurgents’…
But people exercising their Commonsense Civil Rights are tarred with that term..
We are really losing the language
That’s certainly not how she was running in PA against obama. She should go for it. Put the nail in the coffin early.

“I believe that we need a more thoughtful conversation, we cannot let a minority of people — and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people — hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people,”
