Leaked Audio: Hillary Clinton Says Supreme Court Is ‘Wrong’ on Second Amendment


Hillary Knows Better

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have security details to ensure they never have to worry about the violence and danger that most citizens face. They live in areas that are gate guarded, secure, and safe. Most citizens do not have that luxury, and they have demanded the right to protect themselves. The founding fathers recognized the importance of that, and wrote it into the Constitution. The Court has upheld that writing, and has admonished cities that continue to try and take that right away from citizens. And now Hillary has decided that she knows better than the Supreme Court and the people, and has vowed to overturn the will of the people.

Hillary Clinton slammed the Supreme Court as “wrong on the Second Amendment” and called for reinstating the assault weapons ban during a small private fundraiser in New York last week, according to audio of her remarks obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

While Clinton has previously supported an assault weapons ban, this is the first time since launching her campaign that she indicated that she would take on the Supreme Court over gun issues.

Although Clinton did not identify which Supreme Court case she disagreed with, she appeared to be criticizing the landmark 2008 ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller, which found the handgun ban in Washington, D.C., unconstitutional.

“We’ve got to go after this,” Clinton continued. “And here again, the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment. And I am going to make that case every chance I get.”

She also used some of her strongest language yet to criticize the NRA, vowing to take on the gun rights lobbying group and make this a key component of her campaign.

Clinton argued that the NRA has “so intimidated elected members of Congress and other legislative bodies that these people are passing the most absurd laws.”

The comments earned applause at the closed-door fundraiser, and demonstrate Clinton’s efforts to appeal to progressive donors as she faces a growing challenge from the far-left candidate Bernie Sanders, who has been criticized by some liberal observers for his broad support of gun rights.

The NRA responded to Clinton’s remarks in a statement to the Free Beacon.

“Hillary Clinton just doesn’t get it,” said Chris Cox, the executive director of the NRA’s legislative division. “The NRA’s strength lies in our five million members and the tens of millions of voters who support the Second Amendment. A majority of Americans support this freedom, and the Supreme Court was absolutely right to hold that the Second Amendment guarantees the fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms.”

Elites like Hillary will continue trying to force their rules and requirements on the people, unwanted as they are, because they just know that what they believe and want is the one true way that things should be run. It is a wonder that anyone listens to an egomaniac and narcissist like Clinton, and though she absolutely should be thrown in prison for a host of misdeeds, she may instead up being the leader of the free world. It should remind us that freedom is not free, and to an elite, a free citizenry is the most dangerous thing in the world.
