[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I ask again, where is Hillary on the gun argument - MIA.[/quote]

WTF are you talking about?  She advocated this restriction in the speech she just gave.[/quote]

Ugh.  "Assault weapons", AK-15s,  handguns, semi-automatics, what the hell is she talking about?  Semi-auto long guns are a minuscule part of gun deaths.  Is she posturing or does she want to get rid of guns that do the bulk of killing?  She sounds uninformed at best, a panderer at worst.   She is trying to play both sides of the coin.  Please take a stand Hillary, I will respect it either way.[/quote]

I don't care if semi-automatic long guns are "a minuscule part of gun deaths".  They are involved in a non-miniscule number of terrorist attacks and hate crimes.[/quote]

So,  exactly what is [b]Hillary's position on gun control[/b]?  Specifically?  I would honestly love to know, because the statements I have read are extremely vague and boil down to "there are bad guns and we need no make sure bad people don't get guns".[/quote]

From hilaryclinton.com:

Gun violence prevention

It is past time we act on gun violence.

Hillary will:

Strengthen background checks and close dangerous loopholes in the current system.

Hold irresponsible dealers and manufacturers accountable.

Keep guns out of the hands of terrorists, domestic abusers, other violent criminals, and the severely mentally ill.

“I don’t know how we keep seeing shooting after shooting, read about the people murdered because they went to Bible study or they went to the movies or they were just doing their job, and not finally say we’ve got to do something about this.”
HILLARY, AUGUST 27, 2015

As president, Hillary will increase the number of gun sales subject to background checks:
[b]Comprehensive federal background check legislation.[/b] Background checks reduce gun trafficking, reduce the lethality of domestic violence, and reduce unlawful gun transfers to dangerous individuals. It is reprehensible that bipartisan legislation supporting background checks failed in Congress after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. But Hillary is not giving up—she will continue to fight for legislation to build on the Brady Bill’s success.
[b]Closing the “Charleston Loophole.”[/b] Hillary will push Congress to close the loophole that allows a gun sale to proceed without a completed background check if that check has not been completed within three days. This loophole allowed the alleged Charleston shooter to purchase a gun even though he had a criminal record.
[b]Tightening the gun show and Internet sales loophole if Congress won’t[/b]. If Congress refuses to act, Hillary will take administrative action to require that any person attempting to sell a significant number of guns abide by the same commonsense rules that apply to gun stores—including requiring background checks on gun sales.
