HC is done as prez or VP candidate. I will bet you $100.00 or even $1000.00 right here right now that HC will not be on the ticket. Will you step up to the plate and back your prediction?
I still feel Mrs. Clinton will somehow find her way back to the limelight.....
Questions: With all the "gun control" talk, how are they going to get the illegally possessed firearms out of the hands of criminals who, by laws already passed, should not even be around a firearm?
Are they promising to enforce laws to prosecute those who use firearms to commit crimes?
What are they proposing to help regular citizens to keep them from being prevented to purchase and keep firearms?
Nothing will ever change in regards to gun control. Ever. Your arsenal is safe and it always will be.
Thankfully that’s where Everyone - Repub/Dem, liberal/consrvtv, young/old etc.......
Is on the same page
NO ONE Wants To See Guns In The Hands Of The Wrong People - it’s a straight common-sense non-political thing -
I agree w/Skydog32103, whether legally or on the black market, as long as you flash the cash Anyone, dirtbags included, can buy one - no point in trying to regulate that aspect of it, it’s free enterprise

age shouldn't be kept in the closet but debated in public forums in addition to ideology.
Can we talk age after Sander's heart attack (that was kept secret for 3 days)? Worse, his stonewalling to admit it?
But stopping the black market? I'd say that's impossible.
Democrats are eager to pass measures to keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people
Herein lies the quandary Democrats find themselves entangled in.....To do "Nothing" looks bad if not cataclysmic the people who want guns banned, so the leadership feels the need to do "something" even when it means a Law that affects the Law abiding citizen. It is the illusion of action that drives the narrative. When we can all sit down and admit that the first statement here is the core of the issue and the one that should be addressed, we'll be on the road to a "solution", until then everything else is a band-aid on a severed artery.

Assuming that “the first statement here is the core of the issue and the one that should be addressed,” refers to Skydog32103’s statement in this post about the black market.....
I would agree that it’s the core of the issue & where most gun violence originates from
Addressing it is what seems so impossible to do - at least via politics/legislation - again, $$$ talks
To do "Nothing" looks bad if not cataclysmic the people who want guns banned, so the leadership feels the need to do "something" even when it means a Law that affects the Law abiding citizen.
Protecting innocent lives from mass slaughter is, and should always be, a higher priority than how some people might feel "affected" by a few extra steps in the gun purchase process.

Until we can all admit that your statement is the core, then.....
Ooops!..I forgot Mental Health! #1...with the "Black Market" (Obtained other than through a legal purchase) for guns running in at #2
a few extra steps in the gun purchase process.
How does this solve the problem of Felons/people w/the intent to harm obtaining guns on the street?
She’s not an officially declared POTUS Democratic candidate
However, story in today’s paper says Michelle Obama emerged tops in a poll of NH voters (“1 in 4 Granite State voters”) voted for her
I find this amazing - first I’ve heard her name mentioned as a possible political candidate
If it’s any indication of a national trend, then the mood of the electorate is real fickle - certainly speaks loud & clear about what NH voters think of the Declared crop of Dems

All these candidates and I have no one to vote for on either side. I prefer someone in the middle, who can work with both sides. Romney, Kasich ?
We're going to get stuck with President Bone Spurs for 4 more years. Just what Putin wants. The rest of the world is laughing at US.
Very discouraging to see good people still drinking this guy's kool-aid.How anyone with any respect for their fellow humans, and has any compassion for people with less, can support this guy is mind blowing.
I love my country, but this two party system blows. Both parties are becoming to extreme for me.
I don't post too much, ( have gotten schooled a couple times ) , but I had to get this out.

What you're really asking is how to dismantle and destroy the black market, which seems like an impossible task - unless a state passes laws that allow them to conduct random house raids on convicted felons' homes, or routine traffic stop and searches. But stopping the black market? I'd say that's impossible.
Are they promising to enforce laws to prosecute those who use firearms to commit crimes?
What are they proposing to help regular citizens to keep them from being prevented to purchase and keep firearms?These are all questions for your Republican leaders in your state and in Washington. Democrats are eager to pass measures to keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people.
Actually it's a question for all legislators no matter what party affiliation they have.
There are so many thousands of firearm laws and regulations on the books. I have seen several times legislation passed that shows "see, we're doing something" that is already on the books. Nothing really gets done, just a feel good knee jerk deed done.
laws need to be passed that would get the attention of criminals, and would be criminals, that actually mean something.
Why pass a law or regulation that restricts the rights of a law abiding citizen? Why not pass laws that could hurt the ones breaking the law?
How about a prison sentence of about 20 years if you use a firearm in a crime, to be served BEFORE starting the sentence for the crime? Armed robbery should get 10 to 20 years. Serve the 20 years of use of a firearm in the commission of a crime, then the 10 to 20 for the armed robbery. No plea down on the 20 years, no good behavior clause, no parole adjustments, no nothing. You serve the 20 years. When you start to serve the time for the crime, then starts the time off for good behavior, chance for parole, and all the other programs to shorten time served. BUT, the 20 years served for the firearms charge does not count toward them.
We don't need more laws to restrict the constitutional rights of those who wish to own a firearm.
Such legislation would be impossible to enact IMO
Gun shop owners gotta stay in business - if they can’t sell to people w/no criminal records, health records & meet other criteria, how can they do that - how are they supposed to know that the customer they’re selling to has a twisted mind & murderous intent, clean background & all
It’s a tough problem, one which decades & decades of discussion has yet to solve

It is a win win for all ! Psychos go ballistic create fear and chaos so folks freak out and need brain meds then buy guns they shoot people creating more mayhem so more people flip and so on. Meanwhile weapons industry thrives, pharma thrives, prison industry thrives, the system WORKS.
Democratic "Front-Runner" Elizabeth Warren on being asked to comment on the Death of Mollite Tibbets:
Berman: I want to get one last question in here, because it is a story, a very important story in the news, it has to do with Mollie Tibbetts, the young woman in Iowa who was murdered, her body believed to be found yesterday. A person has been charged with it, this person is an undocumented immigrant. Mike Pence and the president have suggested the immigration laws need to be stronger so that people like this man, who was accused of this murder, were not in the country. Your reaction?
Warren: I’m so sorry for the family here, and I know this is hard, not only for her family but for the people in her community, the people throughout Iowa. But one of the things we have to remember is we need an immigration system that is effective, that focuses on where real problems are. Last month, I went down to the border and I saw where children had been taken away from their mothers. I met with those mothers — who had been lied to, who didn’t know where their children were, hadn’t had a chance to talk to their children — and there was no plan for how they would be reunified with their children. I think we need immigration laws that focus on people who pose a real threat, and I don’t think mamas and babies are the place that we should be spending our resources. Separating a mama from a baby does not make this country safer.
Thanks Elizabeth, let's compare an accused Murderer to border policy. She seems to excel at not answering the question asked her.
" I'm so sorry, but..."
At least with Dems you can enjoy freely criticizing. It is fun. Liberals rip on other libs all the time. I have openly criticized Obama's corporate whoring, have trashed Al Gore, any validity he might have is killed by his fat ass and mansions and his fascist music censorship wife Tipper.
Never a whisper from conservatives against the dominant consevatives - only allowed to pile up on dissenters like McCain, Rubio. Gotta close ranks against those demon liberals! Closest I ever hear to criticism of Trump is "He's not Hilary".
It must be very difficult to recognize, let alone accept, that you are voluntarily forfeiting your liberty.

I will freely "Criticize" any Politician or Party that espouses beliefs and ideals that are in direct contrast with mine. So, I guess I am FAR closer to identifying with the right than the left.
Your mileage may vary.

You won't. And don't. Nary a whisper of dissent from any of you on issues you pretend to stand for, if at odds with the hard line. You can't utter a sound or you will be reviled by your peers.

That certainly leaves quite the list of things you agree with, but that was no secret anyway.
Wonder if the resident “constitutionalists” agree with the President’s belief that a clause of the Constitution is “phony.”
Bah. They don’t care.
Wonder if they’d care if someone said the same thing about the 2nd Amendment.
They’d probably care.
and would be criminals, that actually mean something.
Now you are onto something. "Would be" criminals....I agree, so what type of law are you proposing that would prevent these millennial psychopath mass shooters who have no criminal record and no health records, from purchasing a firearm? I'll support just about anything that accomplishes this.
I take it that you didn't read the entire post?

Bhawk, I've worked against "gun control" since the late 60's. Back then it was the "Ban the Saturday Night Special" mantra, except that none of that group could define what a Saturday Night Special was. The most heard answer was the "cheap" handguns. Define "cheap" since what might be cheap to those crying out for the ban could be a months' pay to most blue collar workers.
Later, when they came out with a list of the "cheap" handguns, it listed the Colt Python, Cobra, S&W M&p Model 10, S&W Model 29, and listed many handguns carried by police departments. I wonder why?
Over the years I've seen the rights of those who wish to purchase firearms eroded and sometimes outright banned due to a local regulation that as far as I'm concerned is actually un-Constitutional.
The Form 4473 that you fill out when purchasing a firearm has to have all NO answers in all question blocks.
All questions under Question 11, except 11a, direct you to violate your 5th Amendment rights (It even asks about your Marijuana use, past and present.) If you don't answer the questions correctly, you just committed a felony. If you lie on the form, you've just committed a felony. You can spend at least a year in prison and be subjected to a $25,000 fine.
I did go along with the 1968 GCA ban on mail order firearms, I did agree with the tightening of issuing FFL certificates to so called "basement dealers".
The current furor over banning magazines and black rifles is just another knee jerk reaction just to show "see, we're doing something".
Also LISTEN TO YOUR CANDIDATES about where they stand on gun bans and confiscation. You might find out who wants to abrogate the Constitution.

There are literally hundreds of millions of firearms in this country. I don’t care who says what or what party they belong to. You will always have your guns.

So thought the Jews in Germany.
I take it that you didn't read the entire post?
Wrong assumption. Your ideas didn’t seem to address the issue of stopping “would be” mass shooters, so that’s why I asked. They aren’t ever getting out of prison, so how do your tough sentences deter them?
OK, I get it. You read it but didn't understand the words written.
Quote: How about a prison sentence of about 20 years if you use a firearm in a crime, to be served BEFORE starting the sentence for the crime? Quote
Someone who is thinking about committing a crime with a firearm, such as robbing a store, might think twice about it when presented with the fact that he would have to serve 20 years-no parole-no time off for good behavior-no release for time served-could possibly think twice before doing so.
A career criminal probably wouldn't think much of it.
BUT, it would be a start.

Or maybe his stance on guns is actually rather minor for many voters and his lack of life experience is a far more important factor in deciding whether to support his candidacy.

Combination of both, his lack of "life experience" led him to naively believe that, "We are coming for your guns" was a major point that would garner votes....
Either way, he is gone. Kamala is next.
