When you are running in a Democratic primary against a self-avowed socialist it can be difficult to outflank your opponent to his left, but Hillary Clinton sure is trying.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who describes himself as a Democratic-socialist — whatever that means — has long set the bar in American politics for far-left policies. Before the 2016 election, Sanders wasn’t even a member of the Democratic Party but officially joined so that he could run in the Democratic primary.
Since entering the race, Sanders has swung the party platform even further to the left than Obama did in 2008 and 2012. Sanders pushed candidates such as moderate — sometimes sensible — Vietnam War veteran, Jim Webb out of the party. Sanders’ position that basically everything should be “free” has excited millennials, many of whom strongly subscribe to an entitlement culture where wealth is something not to be earned, but something they are owed.
The one issue on which Senator Sanders is not to Clinton’s left is his stance on the Second Amendment. Sanders comes from a rural hunting state, generally supports gun rights, and opposes holding gun manufacturers liable for shooting deaths.
Hillary Clinton has pounced on the opportunity to “out-liberal” Sanders on an issue and has constantly and shrilly attacked Sanders on this issue. And on Monday, Clinton appears to have has stepped up her extremist position on the issue as she agreed with a fellow panelist who claimed “Americans are the terrorists” and gun manufacturers are responsible for these American terrorists.

There presently exists anywhere between 18000 and 20000 laws regulating every aspect of a firearm’s existence – from manufacture, to end use. Firearms are probably the most regulated, the most controlled, the most restricted commodity in this country. It has long been illegal to assault, rape, rob, extort, threaten, or murder another person, no matter the INANIMATE object used to accomplish any of these acts. My question for nay-sayers, the anti-gun champions, the purveyors of tyranny is simply this: just what law, specifically, would you propose/enact/enforce that would deter, prevent, or eliminate any CRIMINAL use of a firearm (an INANIMATE object) resulting in the “gun violence” you claim occurs as a result of “lax gun laws”? All that is necessary to understand the rabid efforts to disarm law-abiding American citizen gun owners is to realize that liberal gun control efforts have nothing to do with child safety, nothing to do with public safety, nothing to do with safety of anybody, or anything of the kind. Liberal gun control is about one thing, and one thing only. That one thing is the liberal/socialist’s need to disarm those who would resist, thus impede, their ability to implement the socialist, centralized, big government, cradle to grave, control of people, who, in the liberal elite’s opinion, are not smart enough to make the important decisions necessary to take care of themselves. The only thing preventing obama (and ilk), from imposing their vision of the socialist, sunshine, unicorn, butterfly, and rainbow utopia upon America is that they have been unable to disarm 150-200 million Americans of some many more millions of firearms. Additionally, neither have these socialist elites been successful at dissuading these 150-200 million law-abiding, citizen, firearm owning citizens from standing/fighting/dying for the principles in which they believe.
