http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141235952Hillary Clinton Says A National Gun Buyback Program Is 'Worth Considering'
Source: Huffington Post
It's "worth considering" whether the United States should emulate Australia by instituting a national gun buyback program, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Friday at a town hall in New Hampshire.
A man in the audience asked Clinton whether she thought it would be possible for the U.S. to enact such a program, and if not, why. Gun buybacks have happened at the metropolitan level in the U.S., but any effort at the national level would be sure to run into intense political opposition.

If she can snag some votes from it, she'll grab anything that even looks like a gun

You won't hear a damn thing about gun control in the GE if she gets the nomination.

She only hates guns for political reasons, she doesn't mind killing millions at all.

If it is purely voluntary (which it should be) then no, she is not grabbing guns

Since when am I a Clintonite? The internecine battle going on here isn't even amusing.
