Hillary Clinton’s Thoughts on Gun Ownership

From The Blaze.com (May 7):

Staking out a position to the left of other potential Democratic opponents in 2016, Hillary Clinton said a culture where “anybody can have a gun” will lead to a country with “no rule of law and no self-control.”

The former secretary of state, New York senator and first lady spoke at the National Council for Behavioral Health conference Tuesday in Oxen Hill, Md., near Washington.

“I think again we’re way out of balance,” Clinton said of the Second Amendment debate, according to the Associated Press. “I think that we’ve got to rein in what has become an almost article of faith that anybody can have a gun anywhere, anytime. And I don’t believe that is in the best interest of the vast majority of people. And I think you can say that and still support the right of people to own guns.” [read more]

Anybody? Well, as far as I know if you have a felony record or are mentally imbalanced you can’t have a gun. Does “anybody” include her and her husband’s bodyguards I wonder?  Or is it the elite that should own guns and no-one else.

If a country becomes chaotic because of no rule of law and no-self control it isn’t the gun’s fault. That’s because there isn’t any morality or self-control in the country anymore. You know like the Congress not able to control their spending. You could just as well substitute the word “knife” for “gun” or any other weapon and get the same meaning.
