Hillary Clinton Plans to Fire Back at Trump for NRA Remarks
ABC News ^ | May 21, 2016, 4:49 PM ET | By LIZ KREUTZ

Hillary Clinton plans to fire back at Donald Trump for comments he made to the National Rifle Association, in which he spoke in favor of open carry laws and accused Clinton of wanting to take away the right to bear arms -- a position she has not taken.

According to an aide to the Democratic presidential frontrunner, Clinton will use her remarks tonight at the Trayvon Martin Foundation Circle of Mothers dinner in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to respond to Trump.

At the event, she is expected to call the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's position on guns "dangerous" and will specifically criticize his proposal to mandate that every school in the country allow guns in classrooms by arguing that it "would make our children less safe," an aide said.

On Friday, Trump received the endorsement of the NRA after he delivered remarks at the organization's annual convention in Lousiville, Kentucky.

Trump used the platform to reiterate his policy promise to eliminate gun-free zones, which exist at some schools and at military bases. And he took aim at Clinton, who has called for stricter background checks and for closing gun-show loopholes that make it easier for people to get firearms.

"The Second Amendment is under a threat like never before," the former reality TV star said. "Crooked Hillary Clinton is the most anti-gun ... candidate ever to run for office. And, as I said before, she wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to take your guns away. She wants to abolish it."

Oh yeah she’ll be screeching about how she’ll make the streets safer when she shutdowns the 2nd. Amendment with a ban on all firearms and ammunition.

LOL.

‘Hillary will damage the Second Amendment personally as President. But, as she said, SCOTUS got it wrong on the 2nd.
She will appoint Justices who will “get it right” and vote for “common sense” regulation by ruling the Amendment is NOT an individual right.
Therefore,gutting the Amendment.
Her appointments could also rule semiautos, magazines, ammunition, and black rifles are unsuitable for private ownership.

Hillary’s possibilities are limitless.

Another reason why she is a snake in the grass.

"...the former reality TV star said."

Is that all he is to these people? Like Honey Boo Boo?

Maureen Dowd talks to aides at the White House and elsewhere, who say they dread talking to the Brooklyn Hillary Campaign Headquarters.

“It’s like the Bataan Death March over there.”

Get a load of that! Dems are voting for TRUMP. They are all too done with slow talking, slow walking, crumbling Hillary.

She is pretending to function, but it is not working.

Not until they’ve been ‘focus group tested’, then massaged with New Speak.

And why Trump tweets were/had been so effective.

Hillary’s boxed. She says one thing, she’ll keep all the Bernie wackos home. She says another she loses the majority that support gun rights. Too bad, so sad.

There is one thing for certain. If she attacks, Trump will return ten fold. Trump is just relishing the opportunity to lure her into his no holds barred ring.

I’m sure she’ll make the point “with dear little angels like trayvon and the gentle giant running the streets, who needs protection anyway”.
