Clinton Ironically Criticizes NRA For Not Being “Reasonable”

posted on October 18, 2016
** When you buy products through the links on our site, we may earn a commission that supports NRA's mission to protect, preserve and defend the Second Amendment. **

She’s promised to work to reinstate the failed “assault weapons” ban. She’s blasted the Supreme Court for getting it “wrong” on the Second Amendment in Heller. If elected, she vows to “use every single minute of every day” looking for ways to enact more control. And she knows exactly where she’d begin, saying “certainly the Australia example is worth looking at” in reference to that country’s gun confiscation scheme. 

Reasonable? When it comes to Hillary Clinton and guns, no word could be further from the truth. So it’s with a bit of irony that, as her emails continue to leak out, it’s learned that in a 2014 speech that she was critical of the NRA for their unwillingness to be “reasonable.” Apparently, their stance of vehement support for the U.S. Constitution is … unreasonable? 

What’s truly unreasonable is Clinton’s plan to use executive fiat to force gun control onto an unwilling populace. Let’s make sure she doesn’t get the chance.

On March 2, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani. The case involves a defendant who is fighting a federal indictment for possessing a firearm while being a marijuana user.

A lot of things have occurred over the past month or so that not all members are completely aware of. I’ll use my column this month to update you on some important issues—transparency.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
