Hypocrite Clinton Rants About NRA—Again

** 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. **

In a rant aimed at lobbyists, hypocrite and Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton—the candidate in the race who ironically has received more money from lobbyist bundlers than any other candidate—took more potshots at the law-abiding members of the National Rifle Association. 

“‘Oh my gosh, background checks! Oh my gosh, they’ll come for your guns!’” Clinton mocked NRA members. “According to them, next thing you know, black helicopters will be in your yard. They are masters at this kind of fearmongering.” 

Of course, it’s Clinton herself who, at a campaign event in New Hampshire, said of the 1996 Australian gun ban and forced confiscation of hundreds of thousands of privately-owned firearms: “Certainly the Australian example is worth looking at.” Clinton has also expressed an interest in appointing President Barack Obama to the U.S. Supreme Court. Obama has also mentioned Australia and the United Kingdom (which also had an enforced gun surrender program) as modeling the correct approach.

So tell us again, Mrs. Clinton, about “fearmongering”!

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.
