"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

Blasts From the Past

by Hal_10000

Hillary Clinton’s sudden stampede to support gun rights it not only producing stupid gaffes, it contradicts her entire history.  I can remember, in particular, her repuslive campaigning against Missouri’s conceal-carry law with the usual claims that people would murder each other over car accidents.  She used her womanhood to argue that conceal-carry was “bad for families”.  The proposition was narrowly defeated in 1999 but passed by legislation in 2003.  How many people died between 1999 and 2003 because Missouri didn’t have a conceal-carry law?  Well, it’s got to be more than zero, which is the number of people with conceal-carry permits that have shot each other over car accidents.

How on God’s Green Earth did this gun-grabbing, Brady-supporting, handgun-licensing twerp become Annie Oakley?  For fuck’s sake media, will you do your damned job and call her on this nonsense!

Update: The advertisement I link above reminds me that Hillary was a big supporter the Assault Weapons Ban. Said ban was created, if memory serves, by Senator Boxer and her staff going through a gun catalog, finding weapons that looked menacing and adding them to the list of banned guns.  I wonder if they would have banned the one pictured? I doubt they would have manipulated the image so that it appears to be pointed at their opponent.

Hillary is adopting an entire right-wing agenda to fight Obama. It’s truly pathetic.
