Clinton refuses to say gun ownership a constitutional right
by Gabby Morrongiello
Hillary Clinton declined to say during an interview Sunday whether she believes the right to bear arms is guaranteed by the Constitution.
“Do you believe that an individual’s right to bear arms is a constitutional right, that it’s not linked to service in a militia?” ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked the Democratic presidential front-runner.
“I think that for most of our history, there was a nuanced reading of the Second Amendment until the decision by the late Justice [Antonin] Scalia, and there was no argument until then that localities and states and the federal government had a right, as we do with every amendment, to impose reasonable regulations,” Clinton responded.
She added, “So I believe we can have common-sense gun safety measures consistent with the Second Amendment.”
Here’s a clue: even for George Stephanopoulis, that wasn’t an answer. It was Mouth Jello. World pablum.
“But that’s not what I asked,” Stephanopoulos interjected. “I said, do you believe that their conclusion that an individual’s right to bear arms is a constitutional right?”
“If it is a constitutional right, then it, like every other constitutional right, is subject to reasonable regulations, and what people have done with that decision is to take it as far as they possibly can and reject what has been our history from the very beginning of the republic, where some of the earliest laws that were passed were about firearms,” Clinton said, declining a second time to answer the question directly.
“IF.”
For God’s sake, even Bernie Sanders believes in the Second Amendment more than Hillary Clinton.

First, I don’t believe Hillary will ever become POTUS. If she,however, does succeed in that endeavor and feels all “froggy” about destroying the 2nd Amendment and seizing our guns; know this, a lot of Marxists and muzzies are going to be killed. She will be gone.
Frankly, I don’t think either side is prepared for the civil unrest that is potentially coming, for diametrically-opposed reasons.
For Conservatives, it will be because of the disavowment of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and the over-reaching of the federal government.
For Leftists, it will be because the government is not controlling ENOUGH of our lives, and providing ENOUGH Free Cheese for those who wish to do nothing and then demand more.
Venezuela and Europe are not resonating with EITHER side of the aisle.

Given the massive non compliance with gun laws in States like Connecticut (register “assault rifles”) and Washington where firearms owners publicly gathered to flout the AstroTurf passed Initiatives, why do these (P)gressives think anything will change?
“If it is a constitutional right, then it, like every other constitutional right, is subject to reasonable regulations,……..”
BULLSHIT!
Kiss my ass, you psychotic manipulator. Constitutional Rights are subject to NO regulations.
Grog is correct.
You will have to pry my dead finger off the trigger.
