Clinton will confiscate firearms

Regarding Darlene LaFollette’s May 24 letter: She asks “What other extra-presidential actions does our commander-in-chief plan for the next eight months?”

If I might be allowed to make a little prediction. Before Barack Obama leaves office, he will impose registration of all privately owned firearms. That will come after Hillary Clinton is elected president. Yes, she will get in. Once she is sworn in, the bomb will be dropped. She will order the confiscation of all firearms. It has been stated she is the most anti-gun presidential candidate we’ve ever had. (This was on the news).

Perhaps many do not understand the repercussions of all this. A disarmed nation is a defenseless nation. I’m sure it’s safe to say had the Jews been armed, there wouldn’t have been a Holocaust. Yes, it certainly can happen again. Far-fetched you say; just grab a chair, sit down and observe.
