Hillary on 2nd Amendment: the \u201cviewpoint\u201d crime<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.\u201d<\/i> (William Burroughs, Grand Street no. 37, 1992) <\/p>\n

Hillary on guns at a CNN town hall meeting<\/a><\/span><\/span>: <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m well aware that this is a hot political subject. And again, I will speak out no matter what role I find myself in. [Ahem, a role like President, or President, or possibly even President.] But I believe that we need a more thoughtful conversation. We cannot let a minority of people \u2014 and it\u2019s, that\u2019s what it is, it is a minority of people \u2014 hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

I see. So the Viewpoint in favor of gun ownership is a hostile act. The Viewpoint itself terrorizes the population.<\/p>\n

Could there be a more transparent illustration of political correctness? <\/p>\n

Well, suppose I have the idiosyncratic viewpoint that schools who punish kids for bringing toy guns or bubble gum guns or poptart guns or screen saver guns to class—those schools should be shut down and the teachers and administrators who punish the kids should be shipped to a desert island?<\/p>\n

Am I terrorizing the population?<\/p>\n

Hillary then went on to talk about the need to protect students and teachers from someone who brings a gun to school and goes crazy and shoots people.<\/p>\n

This is her example? This is her talking point? This is her rallying cry?<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t mention where the majority of gun violence takes place in America. She omits that. Where is it? The Southwest? Montana? The plains of Iowa? Key West? Maine? Are good old boys with pickups and shotguns mowing people down on back country roads? Is that the epicenter?<\/p>\n

I guess the places where the most gun violence is occurring are on a special list, titled: \u201cnot responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n

No one shot anyone there. <\/p>\n

Poverty pulled the triggers. Drugs pulled the triggers. Bad schools pulled the triggers. Broken homes pulled the triggers. <\/p>\n

So those places don\u2019t count—therefore, guess what? Statistically, we have very, very little human-caused gun violence in America. We\u2019re in good shape. We don\u2019t need new restrictions on gun ownership.<\/p>\n

Issue solved. Case closed.<\/p>\n

These unmentionable places where lots of people are shooting at other people and killing them and maiming them: they\u2019re not real, they don\u2019t exist. After all, Hillary didn\u2019t talk about them.<\/p>\n

But if those places did exist, where are the guns coming from? Gun shops? The guns are all legally obtained? Are they coming from the ATF? Oh, wait, no, that\u2019s Mexico. The ATF runs guns into Mexico for the drug cartels. Fast&Furious<\/i>, and before that, under Bush, Operation End-Around<\/i>. But that op is also unmentionable now. It\u2019s stale. Old news. Forget it.<\/p>\n

And military weapons, including drones, in the hands of American soldiers and the CIA: that\u2019s way off the reservation. It\u2019s called war. Can\u2019t discuss that as part of the gun problem.<\/p>\n

Anything else we can\u2019t discuss? How about the CIA program under Bill, when he was governor of Arkansas, whereby factories were secretly built in his home state to manufacture guns for the Contras? (See Terry Reed, John Cummings, \u201cCompromised.\u201d<\/i>) Were those factories, at the very least, a viewpoint-crime? Seems like it.<\/p>\n

Police forces all over America are now being outfitted with military hardware. Armored vehicles, heavy weapons. Does that constitute a hostile viewpoint-crime?<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s this old (but true) saw: people like Hillary walk and drive around with formidable security. Those guards are packing heat. Somehow, it seems unfair. Regular citizens don\u2019t have a cordon of protection. Hillary doesn\u2019t need a gun because her people have them. So why should anyone listen to her pontificate on the subject of weapons?<\/p>\n

She\u2019s essentially saying, \u201cSee my guys? They\u2019re armed. They\u2019re always around. You people don\u2019t have that. That\u2019s tough. Too bad. Give up your guns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Appears to be another hostile viewpoint-crime. Very hostile, pretentious, and condescending.<\/p>\n

\n

\"power<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Reminiscent of her recent comment that she and Bill were \u201cbroke\u201d when they left the White House in 2000. Broke, except for a book contract and a house that magically appeared for them in posh Westchester County.<\/p>\n

The Clintons are like that. They feel your pain, they\u2019re just like you, except when they\u2019re not, which is always.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry. As the symbolic first woman President (every criticism against her will be labeled sexist), she\u2019ll tirelessly work toward that shining day when all guns will be removed from the populace. The police and the military will have all the weapons. The streets will be quiet and serene.<\/p>\n

She\u2019ll come rolling into your town accompanied by a bevy of tanks.<\/p>\n

Just to be on the safe side.<\/p>\n
