Hillary Clinton and the 2nd Amendment

May 25, 2016, 12:33 PM | Updated: 12:35 pm


There is a dynamic at play right now regarding Hillary Clinton and the 2nd Amendment. She would like get a foothold on this issue.

And we’re talking about an election that can put a president and a supreme court nominee in place which could suddenly make the 2nd Amendment disappear. If that happens, it means we have no bill of rights.

We are still born free Americans. And we still control our own fate. But it’s not just the 2nd Amendment. It’s the transgender issue. Its baker’s being forced to work for weddings that violate their faith.

We need to send Hillary an FYI; that we’re not going to pretend that you can take any rights away from us that are protected in the bill of rights. We will not join in any pretense that the right to bear arms is debatable. If we don’t give in, our rights won’t be taken away.

We’ll be the ones standing within the law. And Hillary could be the one who tragically oversteps. She knows that legal gun owners are not the problem. And she’s not going to give up her armed security that protects her and her family.
