The logic behind her argument is ludicrous - can we blame legislators for the deaths of innocent civilians and military deaths if they vote in favor of a fabricated war? Why doesn't she do that? She voted for the War in Iraq, which is still contributing to deaths in the Middle East.

And how about her meeting with the NRA? If she's so anti-gun then why meet with this incredibly partisan group?
