Hillary’s “new” gun control proposal<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The day after the shooting that killed nine people at Oregon\u2019s Umpqua Community College<\/a>, Hillary Clinton<\/a> called for a \u201cnational movement\u201d strong enough to rival the National Rife Association<\/a>, which she described as \u201can intense, dedicated group\u201d of gun lobbyists who \u201cscare politicians and say, \u2018We will vote against you.\u2019\u201d Clinton, who has made new gun restrictions a regular feature of her speeches on the campaign trail, addressed the shooting at a rally in Florida on Friday … \u201cHere\u2019s what the other side counts on,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cThey count on really having an intense, dedicated group that scare politicians and say, \u2018We will vote against you.\u2019\u201d Republicans, she told supporters, \u201cput the NRA ahead of American families.\u201d … What Democrats need, she said, is a \u201cnational movement\u201d to pass \u201cnew, effective gun control measures,\u201d like her husband President Bill Clinton\u2019s<\/a> in the \u201990s …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the exact same thing the antis have tried and failed at for decades.\u00a0 Bloomberg<\/a> said last year he’d put up $50 million<\/a> to create a grassroots counterpart to the NRA and all that money could buy was a re-branding of the same old astroturf.<\/p>\n
