Re: Hillary Clinton's supporters and the Second Amendment

Bill Clinton's Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 94 contained the sunset clause retiring the legislation in 2004. Obama and Hillary both want to reinstitute that ban with an additional dose of poison---they want to make the ban permanent---no sunset clause.

The 94 ban did not take away anybody's guns---it simply prohibited manufacturers from making a particular class of guns. Existing guns were grandfathered in. If I am wrong about that I am certainly happy for other members to correct my understanding of it.

This election could have a HUGE impact on the Second Amendment---and those future Supreme Court Judges (nominated by Hillary if she wins) who will interpret the constitutionality of any anti-gun legislation. If Hillary does manage to win then we must hope that Republicans maintain control of Congress to stifle any hostile second amendment legislation she has been campaigning for.
