Hillary Clinton Sticks To Her Guns, Lies On Seth Meyers Show

** 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. **

Appearing on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” Thursday, Hillary Clinton made a special point to trot out the tired litany of lies she routinely tells about gun owners, firearms and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

Specifically, Hillary claimed that 92 percent of the public and 85 percent of gun owners supposedly support dramatically expanding federal anti-gun laws, including:

  • requiring so-called “universal” background checks that the Obama Justice Department admitted would require gun registration;
  • repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, thereby exposing the U.S. firearms industry to bankruptcy due to baseless, politically motivated lawsuits; and
  • putting the government in the middle of every firearm transfer.

Hillary can claim that 296 percent of Americans want to ban guns, but that wouldn’t change the facts: Most Americans believe guns make our homes safer. And even anti-gun media admit that Hillary’s laws can’t prevent lawlessness.

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.

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.
