While campaigning for her mother recently, Chelsea Clinton admitted that the left is planning to use the Supreme Court to enact greater gun control if a Democrat wins the presidency this fall.
“It matters to me that my mom also recognizes the role the Supreme Court has when it comes to gun control. With Justice Scalia on the bench, one of the few areas where the Court actually had an inconsistent record relates to gun control,” Clinton said. “Sometimes the Court upheld local and state gun control measures as being compliant with the Second Amendment and sometimes the Court struck them down.”

Bernie Sanders does not strike me as a man who wants to limit the freedoms of the common man to go about their business. Given that most of his campaign has been fought on the basis of stopping corruption, preventing ridiculous oil wars, and actually providing the representation that the people are supposed to have in affairs of state, rather than bowing to the needs of the few, monied interests, I doubt he has any intention of violating any of the fundamentals of the constitution, leave alone the sacred cow that is the second amendment.
What about the lefties who own guns and think the second is one of the most necessary amendments? I do not think they will be after anyone's guns.

I guess if you can't gain a majority in congress.....

I really don't see how that kind of issue campaigning will help Hillary. The debate around the 2nd has become one of the powerful if not the most powerful wedge issue to drive voters to the polls, and not the voters Hillary needs to get elected. We won't be able to say Hillary didn't tell us gun control was coming if she does win.

There is an extreme dislike of the 2nd Amendment by elements on the progressive left. They abhor freedoms and personal responsibilities and feel that government is the solution to everything.
Call them closet socialists, communists, but they are the enemy of freedom.

I wish you could provide a link to that legislation; Texas needs to adopt that as well..........before the whiny liberal creeps turn this state blue.
