(From April 26, 2016) Most Americans disagree with Hillary Clinton on suing gun manufacturers

Hillary Clinton has made gun-manufacturer liability a centerpiece of her campaign, frequently attacking rival Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders for not supporting the measure. In Connecticut, the site of one of the worst shootings in American history, she used gun control as a main rallying cry for her candidacy. Mrs. Clinton has called Mr. Sanders’ stance on the liability issue “unimaginable,” pointing out it’s one of the largest contrasts between them.

Hillary Clinton said on the campaign trail today that she is not against the 2nd Amendment - she may not be lying - because she will work to help her biggest donors, the plaintiff's bar, by giving them a multi-billion dollar gift. This is like the asbestos and tobacco lawsuit bonanza for her lawyer friends.

Lawyers like Clintoon’s personal Muzzie’s, the Khan family, would love this. Manufacturers of anything and everything could be sued for any reason. It would totally destroy the automobile manufacturers.

She’ll do it, too - despite the fact that she’s protected by a small army of armed guards and the ‘common people’ have to rely on themselves.

Hypocrisy and tyranny, rolled into one.

The State Dept is regulating american manufacturing of guns and enforcing BACK DOOR CONTROL by ITAR fiat:

In practice, this proposal means your local gun club Internet bulletin board is about to become regulated as if it were crates of missiles being smuggled onto a freighter destined for the Islamic State. It’s an international security control being sweepingly modified to comprehensively crack down on domestic speech of freedom loving Americans.

More State Dept. ITAR rules:

This means that if you’re caught exporting 20 third-generation night vision optic devices, you could face a sentence of 400 years, depending on prosecutorial inclination towards you. Similarly, if you post a YouTube video of how to break down and reassemble your Glock and that video is then viewed 20 times overseas, you, your ISP and YouTube will all face huge legal liability when the Department of State comes to call. A single post may be read hundreds or thousands of times and each view may be a separate offense.

The high penalties associated with ITAR violations are used by prosecutors to push people to plead guilty in exchange for reduced sentences. California’s noted anti-gun State Senator Leland Yee, who recently pled guilty to charges of racketeering, is facing a possible 20 year sentence and potentially $250,000 in fines as a result of his plea bargain. In stark contrast, had Yee been convicted of moving the 100 Tavor rifles he was indicted for, the ITAR-prescribed punishments alone could have yielded him a 2000 year sentence, and 100 million in fines.
