Her so-called fix consists of a dead-on-arrival legislative proposal making gun manufacturers financially liable for the misuse of their products and an executive order determining the meaning of certain words used in federal statutes.
The liability-shifting proposal is akin to punishing General Motors whenever a drunken driver misuses his Chevy and injures someone. The courts would surely reject that. |

If a democrat is elected as the next president, you can kiss your gun rights goodbye.
All it will take is the fifth liberal on the Supreme Court to overturn 200 years of history and the meaning of the second amendment. |

jac, they will have one insurmountable problem:
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose.' This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence." - U S v. CRUIKSHANK, 92 U.S. 542 (1875) 92 U.S. 542
No matter what they do (or try to do), we will justifiably retain and exercise the right, even to the point of being forced to use it to defend ourselves against tyranny.
That's why the right is recognized in the Constitution in the first place, and recognized as PREEXISTING.
Most gun owners know that.
And because of those facts, a HilllaryKill of RKBA will fail miserably. |

Phorto, I'm in agreement with what you say.
My comment was to point out the absurdity of voting for a Democrat.
Many of us will resist any attempt to register or turn in our firearms, but a surprising number of gun owners will give in when they make firearms illegal.
Unfortunately, the demographics are against us. Between illegal immigration and the birth rate of the low information voters, it is only a matter of time before us conservatives are voted out of existence. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
