Hillary and guns
Caught lying about gun deaths at the debate:
The claim appears to be unsupported on all counts.
The Gun Violence Archive has recorded 11,485 gun deaths in the U.S. so far this year, an average of just under 1,000 per month, making Clinton’s figure appear to be highly exaggerated. The archive had more detailed data for children and teenagers, showing 70 from those age groups killed by firearms since the Democratic candidates debated Oct. 13 – not 200 as she claimed.
And she’s advocating a ban on the most popular rifle in America today.

How’s all that gun control working out for the French?

I’ve been waiting for prices to drop post-holidays on AR15s, now it looks like this election is gonna empty the damn shelves again.
Thanks, Obama!, Err, Hillary! You just cost me a couple hundred bucks on a rifle, that could have been spent on ammo.
Perhaps this is one of those tricksy Democrat gun control methods they don’t talk about publicly – driving the price of guns up with sales based on their rhetoric, and keeping shelves empty via their openly stated plans.

@Bram, just as they want it to work. And if it happens here by those our government has allowed and facilitated to enter and stay, then it will be an even greater pretext for yet another citizen disarmament tirade. But the ruling class will stay well-armed.

So if there were more people “killed by guns” then it would be OK to ban guns?
What’s your point? That Progressives lie? What’s your point? If they told the truth, would that make their ideology and goals OK? Would you give up your rights to an honest authoritarian with a good grasp of statistics, but not to a lying Progressive? Why would it make any difference one way or the other?
