Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has finally given the 5 million law-abiding members of the National Rifle Association the credit they deserve. 

During Monday’s MSNBC Democratic Town Hall, Clinton answered a question about how to prevent gun violence by, you guessed it, once again slamming the NRA. “Nothing is more powerful than the gun lobby,” she explained to moderator Chris Matthews. “This is an issue I am so profoundly disturbed about. We have to take on the gun lobby. The gun lobby really intimidates elected officials. We have got to make this a voting issue.” 

What Clinton doesn’t seem to understand when she constantly bashes the NRA, calling it the “gun lobby,” she is really talking about millions of productive members of society who lawfully practice their Second Amendment rights and have joined together to defeat gun-banning politicians like her. Let’s show Clinton just how powerful we are this November at the ballot box.
