They’re not hiding it anymore. Hillary Clinton will come after your guns if she elected. It’s not a hyperbolic scare tactic; it’s a promise. With Antonin Scalia no longer on the Supreme Court, they smell the stench of an anti-constitutional opportunity and they’re going to seize it, taking to it like a pig to a fly swirling slop. They’ll tilt the court further away from the Constitution and Rule of Law and towards arbitrary caprice.
Washington Free Beacon reporting (emphasis mine):
Chelsea Clinton said Thursday at an event in Maryland that there is now an opportunity for gun control legislation to pass the Supreme Court since Justice Antonin Scalia passed away.
“It matters to me that my mom also recognizes the role the Supreme Court has when it comes to gun control. With Justice Scalia on the bench, one of the few areas where the Court actually had an inconsistent record relates to gun control,” Clinton said. “Sometimes the Court upheld local and state gun control measures as being compliant with the Second Amendment and sometimes the Court struck them down.”
Clinton then touted her mother’s record on gun control issues and knowledge that the Supreme Court has an effect on whether many gun control laws stand.
“So if you listen to Moms Demand Action and the Brady Campaign and the major efforts pushing for smart, sensible and enforceable gun control across our country, disclosure, have endorsed my mom, they say they believe the next time the Court rules on gun control, it will make a definitive ruling,” Clinton said. “So it matters to me that my mom is the only person running for president who not only constantly makes that connection but also has a strong record on gun control and standing up to the NRA.
Alas, torching the Second Amendment will only come from the first match to set the Constitution aflame. Expect many more tossed on the document until there’s nothing left save for bits of charred floating embers ever changing direction with political winds. Doomed.
