Former President Bill Clinton, who signed a since-expired ban on assault weapons in 1994, called for the prohibition to be reinstated in an editorial for Time Magazine on Wednesday.

Noting that Congress’s failure to reinstate the ban since it expired in 2004 has largely been attributed to fear of electoral losses like those of the 1994 midterms, Clinton wrote that the political landscape would be friendlier to such a move today.

“The 2018 elections, thanks to the passionate activism of citizen groups across the country, proved that it’s a different world now,” he wrote.

Slick Willy, still walking the streets as a free man, is like a case of VD you cannot get rid of. Still playing to the radical leftist anti-American base. The camel nose sticking in the tent.

Thomas Massie ✔ @RepThomasMassie Some have asked, “who needs 100 rounds?” If 6 brave, trained, and alert police officers with professionally maintained weapons fired 58 rounds to subdue the Dayton shooter, I’d say my wife deserves at least that many chances to protect herself and my kids when I’m not home.

Slick Willy should be more worried about what Epstein has to say.

Clinton’s “little willy” is the only assault weapon I would be worried about...

Bill only did it to get a few girls

The same firearms were still available during the ban just in a bowdlerized version.

When he gives up his armed bodyguards, compliments of me and you.

Epstein, Bill.

Why is it a different world now? Huh? Maybe because the demonrats keep stirring up race problems where there weren’t any and hate against everyone and everything.

[rktman]

Uh, his 15 years of fame are way past. Sorry billy. You irrelevance is showing.

[Bob434]

could it be that bill wants women unarmed?

[Boogieman]

Right, because the Assault Weapons Ban totally stopped the Columbine shooters who kicked off the whole modern trend of mass shootings.

Yes it is a different world. We have been at war with terrorists for 20 years. You get no ban pedo-perv!

Taking away our guns so that they can put us in “death camps” as posted today throughout New York, and hunt us “deplorables” down and kill us for sport, just like in their new movie “The Hunt”, is the DemonRAT communist left’s wet dream.

Ain’the going to happen: MOLON LABE!

Bullshit! Billy is still the perverted asshole he always was, and still thinking with his “small head”.

“...could it be that bill wants women unarmed?...”

Well, Willy being the extreme narcissist that he is, probably would have women’s panties registered, so they could be confiscated!! (chuckle)

[deadrock]

All he has to worry about is what an Obama judge has to say.
