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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
