Hillary Rodham Clinton, in speech to Newspaper Assn of America, endorses series of stringent gun-control measures, calling for licensing of all new gun owners and registration of new guns.

Not good, considering the fact that the only one's who will NOT register would be real criminals. I figured Hillary would be anti-gun freedoms. Sigh.

The funny thing about the anti-gun nuts is that they feel that hunting would only be fair if you armed the deer. Yet none of them has suggested arming a fetus.

nohil_billy: Run for the House in your State. Your logic will frustrate people, but hey somebody needs to tell them, they don't listen to us as individuals unless it's a poll.
Great post!

Hmmm, So Hillary is for gun control, huh? So, have you run into any politicians who think that the government should stay out of licensing or registering fire arms?

I am a financially conservative, socially liberal woman. I'm not a Hillary fan, nor am I a femi-nazi. I am a hetero-sexual (this means straight), out-doors, educated person. I just attended an educational week-end event with 200 hunters (98% male) and about once an hour, I heard someone say, "Have you heard about Hillary....." and then go on to tell a joke or speak about her anti-gun views. It does not appear to me that she wants to take our guns away. ....and everyone knows that there will always be those un-registered guns in the hands of the good guys and the bad guys. But, don't you think that having legislation on guns helps law-enforcement put away the bad guys?

Now, what I wonder is....do these people hate her because she's a woman? Because she's a democrat? Because she was married to a big jerk? Because she has an education? Because she has fat thighs? Anyone got an answer?

Everyone hates hellary because she is a bitc*!
But if you ask me i don't think there should be gun registration. For one, not many crimes happen with a registered gun(it's usually planned that way). Second of all, gun registration leads to gun confiscation. Any more questions i could help you with.

[RepublicratDemocan]

Like I said, I'm not a Hillary fan, but do tell my why you believe she's a bitc*? Because she is female? So, are all females are bitc*es? Or is it a behaviour that you have personally observed? She treated you badly?

You are definately entitled to your belief about no gun registration. One of my questions though, did go unanswered. Are there any politicians who believe that we should not register or license guns?

Yes, I would agree that most people who are planning a crime will plan to use an unregistered gun. That's really kind of a "duh" statement. Does it make any sense to you that requiring licensing of a firearm results in more ways to charge a criminal who has used an unlicensed firearm?

Do tell me when gun registration has led to gun confiscation in the last 50 years and in this country? Do you not believe that there are balances to all these extreme ideas?

[RepublicratDemocan]

Well, you certainly did not answer MY questions.....

Like I said before, I am NOT a Hillary fan. But I wonder what causes you to call her a b*tch? Is it because she is female? Do you consider all females b*tches? Did she do something to you personally?

One of my questions was: So, have you run into any politicians who think that the government should stay out of licensing or registering firearms? Are there any politicians out there who believe that there should be no gun legislation?

Criminals planning to use unregisterd guns - what deep thinking. Ever thought that's why there is gun legislation? To give us something else to charge the criminal with? My state has a drug tax stamp. If you are caught with drugs, you might get off, but if you don't have the tax stamp, you will pay......

Please, do tell me when gun registration has resulted in gun confiscation in this country and within the last 50 years?

So let me get this straight RD. You're at an educational week-end event with 200 hunters/gun owners/possible NRA members, and they are talking about the gun control views of, and telling jokes about the only candidate to so far advocate for a series of stringent measures for licensing and registering gun owners and their guns, and you're wondering why they don't like Hillary?

Do you really think it's because she's a woman RD? I think if you were to take the time to surf the other threads of this forum, you will find many references made about Condi as a conservative hopeful. We are 20 months away from the election and I pray to God that every time somebody disagrees with Hillary or calls her a name, we aren't going to be accused of gender bias.

You're right, RD, that it would be hard to find a politician who hasn't proposed gun registration in some way, shape or form. Yet I am unaware of any state that doesn't already have a gun registratioin law on the books in some way, shape or form. If Hillary wants to stir up and endear the anti-gun loons with more ridiculous proposals for gun control, then she'll also have to endure the wrath of the right for her pandering. It's no more or no less than that.

Well RD, first i don't like hillary for many reasons(none of which have anything to do with her being a female). I will just name a few examples from her voting record of why i don't like her.
I don't like hellary because:
She feels that gun importers, manufacturers, and gun dealers should be able to be held accountable for the misuse of their product.
I don't like that hellary voted to allow abortions
I hate that she voted against a bill to prohibit flag desecration
Another thing i don't like is that one day she will vote against something, then a month later she votes for it(Such as The Energy Policy Act of 2005).
I also did not like that she voted against Bolton being the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.
because she feels anyone should be able to take a pregnant minor across state lines, for the minor to have an abortion
Hellary also feels that it shouldn't be a criminal offense if a fetus is injured or killed during a violent crime on a pregnant woman
I hope that's enough to support my claim that hellary is a bitc*.
