Does Hillary respect Bill of Rights when she wants underhanded nullification of 2nd Amendment by trial lawyers?

US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wants to nullify the Second Amendment in an unscrupulous fashion by allowing trial lawyers representing murder victims to sue the gun industry out of existence. She would thereby deprive law-abiding citizens of the right to defend ourselves against criminals.We don't allow that because it is an absolute affront to justice. The responsibility for a murderer lies with the murderer himself. We don't have lawsuits against the auto industry or the alcohol industry for drunk driver fatalities. We don't have lawsuits against knife-makers when people are stabbed to death. We don't have lawsuits against chemical industries when wives poison their husbands.If you want to advocate a constitutional amendment to repeal the Second Amendment, you have a right to do that. But what Hillary proposes is unjust and unethical.

How does wanting to require safe, responsible gun ownership equal repealing the 2ed amendment. your just an extremest.
You can not equate chem deaths, knife deaths, to those caused by firearms. I can not kill people form 100 yrds with a knife or the chems that have been used by a spouse to kill their mate.
We do allow lawsuits for the auto industry, as well as those who sell alcohol to a person to the point where it has caused accidents.
As for why the gun industry has not been sued in the past they have been and got lucky. And now have spent so much money bribing legislators with money from lobiests to write protective legislation . Thus allowing them to be sued would just make it more likely they would put more thought into their designs. Making it harder to convert them to full auto.
If they want to protect them-self's they simply need to stop fighting guns being chipped. Chipping is almost the ultimate in gun safety. It makes it harder if not impossible to use a stolen firearm. Or to sell it illegally.

Individual automaker firms have been sued for making unsafe cars. You can't sue them for a relative being hit by a drunk driver.
Suits against bartenders who sell more booze to somebody already hopelessly drunk is not the same as suing the alcohol industries themselves.
I am not personally a gun enthusiast, nor am I an "extremest." I am unfamiliar with chipping so I will reserve comment on it aside from agreeing that it would be desirable for thieves and their customers not to be able to fire other people's guns.

you sue the one reasonable for the accident. When they have been caused by defects in the making yes they get sued. And the Auto maker loses the case.

Hillary cares about only one thing -- Hillary. She would sell her soul if it would get her elected. So far she has flipped and flopped her way across the nation, and the real contest has not yet begun.

As far as I can tell, regardless of those things she once said in favor of gun ownership, which she now has flopped on, she never has respected the Second Amendment. Probably, she does not care about any of our rights, so long as her own are intact.

The anti-gun fanatics in this country know that they do not have the votes to overturn the Second Amendment. Consequently, they will use any tool to try to abridge our rights, and damn the constitution.

If she were President and tried to do that by decree, I really think she would be impeached.

I don't think Hillary or most other democrats, for that matter, respect the bill of rights, I think they all see the constitution and the bill of rights as a hindrance rather than a protection.

"Interpretation "

So then why do you support the removing of that right by persons who have psychological issues or who have committed a felony. Say killing a group of people with a gun. They did not say there was to be a test to own a gun, they did not even say why someone would not be allowed to bear arms.

Same reason I support taking cars and drivers licenses from habitual drunks and drug users. That's a very long way from Hillary's and other liberals advocacy of a blanket ban of gun ownership by honest law abiding citizens.

She is a basket case of pure bullshit, gun revoking globalist agenda garbage.She is using the feminist approach thinking all woman are stupid or something and can't see through her BS

imgreywlf

I would like you to site where she has said ANYTHING that she has been alleged to have said.
As for thinking that all women are stupid I would like to point out the accomplishments she herself has archived and and she is aware of her own achievements. As well as those things that she has attempted to do that has been blocked by the Republicans. Look at the hearings after over 2 yrs they several times admitted it was to hurt her chances to win the Democrat Nomination of President. Stop accepting the propaganda put out by the Anti-Hillery and check the sources see if they have 2 reliable sources for every claim.
In fact I would like conceptualclarity to give the sources for his accusations here. He did not as he can only site (if he did) sources that are not reliable. They would be things that are Republican controlled.

Benghazi , gun control,deregulation of the banking industry advocate: sources, the collapse of the housing industry 2008, present day trials ....FYI you no little to nothing about what your talking about

imgreywlf

I have been following the whole put up of the republicans all their lies they have even said several times that it was political. go back and watch the 6-7 hrs that Hillery answered questions. As for housing industry issues the housing market has turned around and houses are not remaining on the market long that is why the cost of rent is climbing yet again with record jumps in cost. As for removing banking regulations look to the republicans in congress who helped their pals screw over America. It is the republicans who consistently remove regulations that have been put in place to protect society from greed as well as pollution, unsafe products like meds etc.
And you still fail to give one source to support your false statement. Thing is you have no ideal of how to properly cite a source.
Your a typical republican you drink the cool-aid and think it is all truth.

"For the community good"???? Thankfully we have a Constitution to protect us from fools.

conceptualclarity · M

You can't shred the Constitution because you think it would be "good for the community." But it is indeed true that today's progressives don't want a democracy or a law-based republic. They want a Hugo Chavez-style leftwing dictatorship.

i meant common good, my auto correct screwed up, sorry.
