From USA today..
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to have workers' wages garnished if they refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed during a television interview, she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people's wages, automatic enrollment."

What kind of Democracy is this?
Just don't even like the mention of something like this???
How many others would like to be TOLD this?
I am self imployed and pay for my own health care...

HW...

So, from an totally unrelated item, healthcare, you come to the conclusion that you won't be able to have a gun.

Can you provide a link to the above comment?

Conspiracy theory anyone?

Default Re: "obtw there goes your firearms...."

Thanks to your votes and grassroots efforts, efforts, pro-Second Amendment majorities in Congress have ripped out most of Bill Clinton`s anti-gun legacy. Now, however, anti-gun forces are working to take over control of the Senate and House in November.

There`s no better way to figure out where you need to go than to look at where you`ve been. As the 2006 elections approach, it`s worth looking back at where the Second Amendment stood just a few years ago. The year was 1998. Bill and Hillary Clinton were in the White House. Al Gore was vice president. Janet Reno was attorney general. Consequently, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms was under unrelenting attack. From NRA website..

Do not want to see: Hillary and Bill in the White House...

I want to tell you a personal story.
Watch the video




About twelve years ago, there was a guy from Arkansas...who set out to blame our NRA for what ailed this country.

Different version of universal health care are on the platforms of all the Democratic candidates, as is their support for gun control. It's not that unreasonable to connect the two issues.

They've gone off the deep end! Anyone thinking of voting for either Obama or Clinton had better stop and put their thinking caps on first.

Naked Dancing, cool, where? Macarena anyone.

Are you doing better under the Bush administration than you did under the Clinton administration? Just look at the national debt. It is the economy, as Bush I said.

Its rather simple. While ever increasing socialistic taxes may not cause the people to stand up and do something, taking away guns will. Let them take them away and as soon as they do, there will be war. Don't believe, just go ahead and try it. Better be ready for it.

Many people are willing to take your life to defend their right to own and protect themselves with firearms. Are you willing to take their life to deny them that right?

Has anyone proposed anything that remotely resembles that which you so clearly fear?

All the gun conspiracists out there had better watch out for Romney. He would have signed the Brady Bill extension and supports banning any weapons of "unusual lethality."

Gov Romney supports an assault weapons ban and a ban on "weapons of unusual lethality." - Forumplex
