June 20, 2016, 08:20 pm Clinton releases one-word statement on failed gun votes

By Lisa Hagen

In a one-word statement, Hillary Clinton blasted Senate Republicans for voting down a Democratic-backed gun control measure to prevent suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms in the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando last weekend. “Enough,” the presumptive Democratic nominee's campaign wrote in a statement following the Monday night Senate votes. It also listed the names and ages of the 49 people killed at Pulse nightclub.

The Senate rejected four separate gun control measures Monday evening -- two that dealt with background checks and two that sought to prevent people on terrorist watchlists from buying guns. All four were expected to fail.

The pinnacle vote was on a measure sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that would have prohibited people on terrorist watchlists from buying guns or explosives. It failed 47-53. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.) was the only Democrat to vote against it.

“Enough”

This is queen hillary’s decree. It means no more of this voting crap, no more passing laws through the senate, no more will of the people.

Enough already. Just do what I say.

I agree, Hillary, I’ve had ‘enough’, too.

Gun control fails over and over and over and over in Congress. Its about time that you and the rest of the Democrats realize that its because the American people aren’t buying it. We don’t want more gun control and we’ve told you that over and over.

So ‘enough’. Stop already. We don’t want it.

They should not have expanded the definition from “Islamic terrorists” to “terrorists” to include all the Left’s social political enemies. They have rendered the tool of a terrorism watch list useless by playing dangerous political “islamaphobia” jihadist games with it.
