The mistake reveals a deeper ignorance of very important information
Not pertinent to me, not my problem! Right? Actually that’s very very wrong, especially if you’re running for president.
D&C doesn’t always like to ‘pick sides’ or address the circus that is the political race, but in this case we thought it was pertinent.
One of the most vital rights that saves lives daily is threatened by a presidential candidate and it’s important that Americans are aware of what hangs in the balance.
Obviously Hillary Clinton is against guns, when talking about gun control she has referred to the model of Australian confiscation and has vowed to put out executive orders for gun control if voted into office.
But to prove to be so ignorant about the subject of gun rights proves to us what we’ve known all along. She’s not interested in having knowledge on gun rights and even the declaration of independence. Either that or she forgot/made a very unfortunate mistake.
Here’s the words she spoke very vehemently.
“We’ve got to say to the gun lobby, you know what, there is a constitutional right for people to own guns, but there’s also a constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that enables us to have a safe country where we are able to protect our children and others from this senseless gun violence,” she said.
No Hillary, nice try but that’s from the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence… But it doesn’t matter when you’re set on removing constitutional rights you don’t really know or care to know about, does it?
Yes it might have been just a simple mistake but I know for many other Americans like Hillary, the issue is ignorance.
Many get caught up in the gun control fad and ‘common sense’ propaganda before they truly understand the ramifications of their desires. They just need to be educated a little more on the topic.
The truth is that an estimated millions of lives are saved by legal gun ownership every year. The truth is that banning guns actually increases crime and murder rates.
The truth is that we have evil that will always live among us (like the man that brutally beat and raped a 73 year-old woman at gunpoint just because he could) that we need to protect ourselves from.
The truth is that our forefathers wanted a free country that would have protection from the possibility of tyranny. They also understood the concept of self-defense and we see defensive gun use happen every day.
Look for candidates that support our essential right to the Second Amendment, not only in the presidential election but your local elections.
