I'm proudly in the 8-9% who don't want any background checks and I sure wouldn't count on the NRA to protect my rights

If gun control is needed anywhere it's with Hillary's government

No, they speak mostly for paranoid right-wingers.

The vast majority of Americans favor universal background checks.

Rather than banning guns, they ought to just ban professionally manufactured bullets. If people want bullets, let them make them themselves. What Will I Need To Make My Own Ammo? | Off The Grid News

I think the same people that elected Pres Obama (Obama first presidential candidate since Eisenhower to top 51% twice | MSNBC) would have something to say about that. I highly doubt that they're in the gun-toting rightwingnut category. So don't be so sure of yourself and your dare.

Didnt this pretty much doomed Gore in 2000? Its stupid for Hillary to even tout this , the far left will vote for you anyway even if you said nothing about gun control. One of the reasons the GOP has lost the last to elections is due to a depressed vote (people staying at home). If the left runs in 2016 on a Blacklives/take all your guns message then I assure you the next pres will not a be a Dem.

Collectivize the blame. Much easier to force a government solution on everyone.

funny about Americans - their attention span is about 3 days - mostly directed by the media.....two weeks ago the Syrian refugees were our biggest concern - now not a word about them.....it's almost like there's a major crisis every week that redirects everyone's attention - this shooting is one of them....forgotten in a few days until the next one.....

Once again a "gun free zone" is the target you would think we would be smarter to figure out that you create a death trap for people.
