As for use restrictions, that was just because more people complained. I remember flying when they let you smoke inside planes, and that was no fun at all.<br /><br />Bitter ScribeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857840826894504436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-20686386348729836082016-08-11T12:25:31.510-05:002016-08-11T12:25:31.510-05:00Politicians have almost stomped out smoking by rai...Politicians have almost stomped out smoking by raising costs sky high & restricting where you can use a legal product.

I just got over a migraine from yesterday, and have no intention of getting another. But if you visit and post anything of his that can pass for a cognitive thought, I'll consider you the best commenter of the day, good luck with that.<br />Now the NRA has an official website, where they deplore the gun violence, and have suggestions for reducing it. In addition to the questionable policy of harsher penalties for violent gun crimes, they advocate for the federal background check program already in place called <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/nics" rel="nofollow">NICS</a>. They explain how it works, telling members how to comply not evade the rules, and have suggestions for making it more effective. Perhaps if Hillary were to say she would like to work with the NRA and gun lobby in making improvements to the NICS program, it would go a long way toward alleviating gun owner's fears.Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157600812959885192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-54901326349752083622016-08-11T09:21:16.820-05:002016-08-11T09:21:16.820-05:00For gun nuts, any restriction of any kind of guns,...For gun nuts, any restriction of any kind of guns, their sale or use, equals "repealing the Second Amendment."

As noted in her position or speeches, there is no mention of abolishing or modifying the Second Amendment, in any way shape or form. In the web page there is a disturbing bullet point as follows:<br /><i>"Take on the gun lobby by removing the industry's sweeping legal protection for illegal and irresponsible actions (which makes it almost impossible for people to hold them accountable), and revoking licenses from dealers who break the law."</i><br />It seems Hillary would place civil liability for any crime committed with a gun, upon the manufacturer of the criminal's weapon of choice. For example, the manufacture(s) of the weapons used by Omar Mateen would be liable to the victims for whatever millions of dollars a jury cares to calculate. After a few years of lawsuits, voilà! no more gun manufactures. If this is not Hillary's intention her web page should be modified for clarity.

Rush Limbaugh and his gang push this thought too about the guns taken away paranoia. I wonder if assault weapons are what the Founding Fathers had in mind when that was written. Yes, it's all about money from the gun lobby and their stockpiling, brainwashed followers who buy more than they should. Or they assume or spread the thought that the centrists or left are completely against gun ownership. As for Donald Dum's jokes regarding that matter...it's not funny. When has the Secret Service ever had to tell a major candidate to mind their words?

The left won't try their confiscation antics ONLY when they know it will cost them elections. And the only reason the bans were stopped was a very close 5-4 court case. Rest assured she'll stack the Supreme Court with anti-gun Communist. Off the record if Hillary could get away with it politically she'd take every gun in this country but she knows it will cost her the election so we get this B.S. about loopholes and "assault weapons".<br /><br />These rights are precious to Americans, up there with voting and a free press and breathing and free assembly and the right to protest and privacy.
