Clinton calls for new gun control laws, outflanking Sanders [View all] BainsBane Jun 2015 OP

So what laws is she proposing? Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #1

Pfft... She is making noise, but it is all sound & thunder. There will be no action. peacebird Jun 2015 #3

As long as people like you dismiss gun control BainsBane Jun 2015 #15

Puhlease. Give it a rest Bainsbane. I have been for guncontrol forever. I do not trust HRC or You peacebird Jun 2015 #22

If you cared about gun control BainsBane Jun 2015 #34

LOL! peacebird Jun 2015 #40

If you guys cared about gun control, you wouldn't... beevul Jun 2015 #50

seems to happen all the time Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #59

Attacking Hillary is one thing but when you go after another DU member like that William769 Jun 2015 #95

"too many Americans allow it." Nuclear Unicorn Jun 2015 #113

Factually, you are likely very incorrect. Sheepshank Jun 2015 #36

If it's that easy, maybe Bernie can play too BeyondGeography Jun 2015 #61

listen to the speech. That's what I'm doing now. BainsBane Jun 2015 #5

I tend to avoid speeches Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #10

Then you will have to rely on what the media tells you about candidates BainsBane Jun 2015 #12

Nope Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #16

She wants to keep "guns out of the hands of those with hearts filled with hate." aikoaiko Jun 2015 #25

"just universal background checks"? That's a lot more than Bernie is proposing. nt pnwmom Jun 2015 #28

Same ones she's always been proposing for decades? L0oniX Jun 2015 #72

She can start by shaming those who promote more gunz, lax laws, toting everywhere, etc. Hoyt Jun 2015 #78

heck, we have been doing that to the open carry knuckleheads Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #82

Yeah, gungeoneers cheer every time Republicans enact open carry laws. You guys promote more guns, Hoyt Jun 2015 #85

Not true but that does not matter Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #90

UBC is the only decent idea I've heard nationally Recursion Jun 2015 #109

MSM, I wish you wouldn't use Sports/Military speak when orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #2

It would be nice if the Democratic Presidential candidates guillaumeb Jun 2015 #4

I wish you would consider BainsBane Jun 2015 #7

Whe I use the term "whores" in my posts, guillaumeb Jun 2015 #14

Bernie Sanders. orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #8

Sad thing is, we cannot believe this of some of the candidates - "and actually govern on them djean111 Jun 2015 #9

The eternal conflict between rhetoric and reality. guillaumeb Jun 2015 #17

I would not use whores Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #13

I choose definition 6 guillaumeb Jun 2015 #20

Do you mean 3? Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #24

I do. My face is red. I meant the 6th definition in the series. eom. guillaumeb Jun 2015 #27

What polls are you looking at? former9thward Jun 2015 #26

I was not speaking of gun issues specifically. Polling on issues rather than labels guillaumeb Jun 2015 #32

A President can't govern on the positions without a Congress as progressive as the President. n/t pnwmom Jun 2015 #31

No argument there. guillaumeb Jun 2015 #37

^^^^^this^^^^ Sheepshank Jun 2015 #41

Check these positions: elleng Jun 2015 #53

I read some of the posts. guillaumeb Jun 2015 #115

I suspect that We the People would see to it; elleng Jun 2015 #116

True. The media does not seem to know how to categorize either O'Malley or Sanders. eom guillaumeb Jun 2015 #117

Right, and as to O'Malley, they fail MISERABLY. elleng Jun 2015 #118

Bernie was soliciting donations for the victims . orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #6

That's nice BainsBane Jun 2015 #11

"... nicer to take action to prevent future victims." Um, no. Care for the CURRENT victims first. cherokeeprogressive Jun 2015 #18

Um, yes. How many victims have been CURRENT then became PAST while some avoid the issue? wyldwolf Jun 2015 #23

Not sure how your cartoon changes the fact Bernie Sanders is trying to care for victims while cherokeeprogressive Jun 2015 #33

Doesn't change or clear anything, it's another ploy using media . orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #39

While Hillary was making legislative proposals, okasha Jun 2015 #49

"Scoring points" BainsBane Jun 2015 #55

Not the least bit interested in the NRA or their talking points. I say what I think. cherokeeprogressive Jun 2015 #58

Your entire argument is exactly what they say BainsBane Jun 2015 #65

you argument is lost when you have to lump suicide Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #75

Considering suicide by gun is successful about 85 percent of the time and mythology Jun 2015 #96

Funny as that Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #74

The next shooting has already happened BainsBane Jun 2015 #97

That is a nice idea for a social worker Evergreen Emerald Jun 2015 #80

If you have followed us firearms Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #19

If you recall BainsBane Jun 2015 #56

is that when they loaded it up with the new Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #57

Yeah. You were a big proponent of the assault weapon ban, and magazine restrictions. beevul Jun 2015 #67

Probably not Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #76

Senior Senator, Presidential Candidate, Millionaire Before office orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #21

like Obama, JFK, and FDR? BainsBane Jun 2015 #60

Having money and beg, borrowing, and charging ridiculous fees, isn't orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #110

looks like you hit a nerve... quickesst Jun 2015 #83

I'm curious... toshiba783 Jun 2015 #92

I know Hillary used that like this to spew Poetry & Platitudes . orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #111

She is way ahead on this. leftofcool Jun 2015 #29

Obama said almost the same thing in 2007-08 tularetom Jun 2015 #30

You clearly paid no attention to the legislative battles on this issue BainsBane Jun 2015 #42

You have clearly misunderstood my post. I'm glad Obama hasn't pushed any gun control measures tularetom Jun 2015 #47

Indeed. Many fine words produced no buttered parsnips... friendly_iconoclast Jun 2015 #48

the legislation was about background checks BainsBane Jun 2015 #69

Again, you are reading into my post a lot of words that are not there tularetom Jun 2015 #73

It was a very good speech, with compassion, just what we expect of a president. Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #35

This is a point in her favor. Agnosticsherbet Jun 2015 #38

Indeed it is BainsBane Jun 2015 #43

O'Malley is also strong on gun control BainsBane Jun 2015 #44

Thanks. I will check out his record. Agnosticsherbet Jun 2015 #45

Yesterday: elleng Jun 2015 #51

Very powerful statement 4now Jun 2015 #62

Good, I'm glad to hear it, 4now. elleng Jun 2015 #63

A call for gun control laws is a nice campaign sound bite Autumn Jun 2015 #46

Hillary is just taking advantage of Charleston IMO. L0oniX Jun 2015 #71

Hillary making gun control an issue in this campaign will be interesting to see. Autumn Jun 2015 #91

"Sanders hails from Vermont, a rural state that lacks virtually any gun regulations and he seems Cha Jun 2015 #52

Governor O'Malley said this: elleng Jun 2015 #64

That was fantastic BainsBane Jun 2015 #66

Thanks, BainsBane. elleng Jun 2015 #68

Yes by all means let her ensure that guns become a major issue of the Democratic presidential Autumn Jun 2015 #84

No, its not just about VT anymore. aikoaiko Jun 2015 #88

I'm for Hillary bluestateguy Jun 2015 #54

She could have done that anytime before Charleston. What's her stance on all the cops killing blacks L0oniX Jun 2015 #70

Another 'fail' when it comes to the general election. eom Purveyor Jun 2015 #77

K & R Iliyah Jun 2015 #79

And that's where coattails okasha Jun 2015 #86

I will concede that Clinton is more pro-gun control than Sanders. Nobody's perfect. Comrade Grumpy Jun 2015 #81

Its kind of strange that the author describes HRCs stance as outflanking Sanders... aikoaiko Jun 2015 #87

Everything she does or says is strategic. n/t lumberjack_jeff Jun 2015 #89

How would the author know Clinton's motivations? BainsBane Jun 2015 #94

She gave a powerful speech William769 Jun 2015 #93

More calculation. Not a BAD thing in a politician, but not terribly inspiring either. Bonobo Jun 2015 #98

That's sure to draw independents and disenfranchised republicans frylock Jun 2015 #99

I so hope you are still here come nomination day! William769 Jun 2015 #100

i've been here a minute frylock Jun 2015 #101

You mean when Hillary gives her equally powerful concession speech, just like in 2008? LAGC Jun 2015 #108

Yes, well BainsBane Jun 2015 #102

Yes, Bernie Sanders doesn't care about human life. frylock Jun 2015 #103

You have just argued that promoting gun control will lose the precious Republican BainsBane Jun 2015 #105

this is hilarious.. frylock Jun 2015 #106

Sounds like DiFi pushing for assault weapons ban after Sandy Hook AND helping Republicans filibuster cascadiance Jun 2015 #104

Uh, Hillary is not in the Senate. Did that little tidbit escape you? leftofcool Jun 2015 #107

She's done a 180 on gun control since 2008 and she'll do it again tularetom Jun 2015 #112

I don't know if I trust her particularly BainsBane Jun 2015 #114
