Bill Clinton Cautions Gun Grabbers
United States –-(Ammoland.com)- In a recent meeting with top Democrat donors, Bill Clinton tried to send a message to all those politicians who seek to disarm the civilian population and while doing so he let the mask slip just a bit.
In the meeting Clinton is trying to send the message to gun grabbers that they probably shouldn’t get too aggressive on this one. Stating:
“Do not patronize the passionate supporters of your opponents by looking down your nose at them,”
“Do not be self-congratulatory about how brave you for being for this” gun control push, he said. “The only brave people are the people who are going to lose their jobs if they vote with you.”
Its also very telling because he showed that politicians, no matter how dogmatic they are about civilian disarmament, will always first and foremost care more about their own careers. He cautions lawmakers that this issue can and will end careers. He points out that it cost Gore precious electoral votes when a gun control civilian disarmament referendum was on the presidential ballot, and that it cost a bunch of lawmakers their jobs in 1994.
But, but, but… its about saving lives. Right? Why would any of these liberals care about the self preservation of their careers over the cost of the lives of innocent children!?! To quote President Obama, “If it can save but one life…”
“I’ve had many sleepless nights in the many years since,” Clinton said. One reason? “I never had any sessions with the House members who were vulnerable,” he explained — saying that he had assumed they already knew how to explain their vote for the ban to their constituents.
Did you catch that? Clinton had “many sleepless nights“… not because his “Assault Weapons Ban” did not go far enough or because he didn’t confiscate every gun in the nation to turn us into the gun-free utopia that all the gun grabbers tell us that we can be. He lost sleep because he didn’t explain the talking points well enough to those politicians who stripped people of their rights and were up for re-election. He lost sleep, not because his “assault weapons ban” did nothing to stop the slaughter that happened at Columbine High School in 1999, but because he didn’t teach the gun grabbers how to effectively lie their way to another term. He didn’t lose sleep because his gun control civilian disarmament law caused crime to go up, but because it ended up being a political victory for the opposition. He lost sleep because he cares more about the political game than the lives that he tells us gun control civilian disarmament will save and the utopian wonderland that it will create for us.
Shameful, but very telling.

As despicable as Slick WIlly can be he's not totally stupid. When he gets his pp whacked he knows how to change his tune and not get whacked again. He exhibited this when he was governor and as prez….after the 94 election. Willy is a professional politician, BHO is just a thug from a notoriously corrupt political organization.
They need to redefined assault weapons and register people as assault weapons. In the next two years I'm voting for pro-gun law makers.
Every time some nut case kills innocent people, the libs' start drooling. They don't care about the innocents, they're dying to disarm us, so they can eventually control us. With a controlled populace, and controlled liberal houses in congress, they can pass any law they want without fear of any retaliation. They're filling their pockets and the pockets on a population of people that won't get up off their butts and fend for themselves. This distribution of wealth by the libs' is starting to get out of hand. We'll be at their mercy.
They don't care about us. Neither party. They only care about re-election and that's pretty much what Clinton said here! That being said, if they push this gun control nonsense, it will destroy the democratic party. I guess some republicans would like that. However, the republican party is only marginally better and only on some things, meanwhile they too clamor for the government to control our private lives just in different ways. It was G.W. Bush who wiped his arse with the Constitution too. That whole first, fourth and fifth amendment that he had absolutely no regard for. 'We the… Read more »
I wish that our politicians were even broaching the subject of the care and control of the mentally ill. While the ACLU defends the "right" of this segment of society to NOT take their prescribed medications and these individuals' families have little to no ability to actually assist their mentally ill loved ones should the need arise (to both protect the individual as well as the rest of society), our taxes fund a government more concerned with controlling law abiding citizens that own guns as this segment of society poses a direct threat to themselves and their political careers.

The only purpose of the 2nd amendment is to prohibit the Gov't from regulating our weapons.
“The only brave people are the people who are going to lose their jobs if they vote with you.”—Not so Slick Willey. The only brave people will be those that stand on the 2nd Amendment. Period. Elections can/are cooked. The powers that be can find a "slot" somewhere for those that fall on their sword. What the politicians need to fear is an angered citizenry that senses their govt is in the final stages of the planned disarming of them.
Obama wants to be a dictator, and an armed civilian population will prevent that. He has already crapped all over the Constitution, his crimes in fast/Furious and Benghazi covered up and ignored by the media… He attempts to massively grow the voting illegal population to assure future victories… he is a treasonous cancer.
bill clinton is a POS just like all people that want to control you and yours…there can be no middle ground with these types for as you feel like you have reached an understanding…they continue to want that control..only you are the fool…this time WILL be different..Never give up your weapons..Never….
Bill still thinks we're all stupid because we don't buy into the lefty lib indoctrination plan. He wasn't telling the gun grabbers to respect us, he never has. The liberals are all about exploiting every situation to further their goals. Don't believe for an instant that Bill Clinton is a friend of individual liberty. He was just suggesting that they find other angles of attack.
I think a lot of the most vocal politicians are either oblivious or unwilling to admit that a lot of Democrats own guns, too. Most of the Democrats I know who aren't filthy rich (and I know w bunch of them) work in factories, the trades and all kinds of other jobs, including finance & law. They hunt, shoot for recreation and some also collect. One lawyer said he has every model of Glock, although he also has several others by many manufacturers. If they try to take his guns, he won't just hand them over, I guarantee it. None… Read more »
Hell ya +1
Bill Klinton and his hag Hilary the Hut are scumbags of the lowest order.
