Hillary Clinton has long been a rabid anti-gun fanatic. Stemming back from her years in her husband’s abysmal administration where she helped promote the passage of the infamous freedom-crushing Brady Bill to her 2016 presidential campaign, Clinton has made the elimination of self-defense, gun rights, buttress against unwarranted government encroachment, and the Second Amendment a hallmark of her stance.
For instance, as NY Senator in 2004, Clinton Voted NO on S.1805,[1] the “Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act,” a bill that would have prohibited lawsuits against gun manufacturers for gun violence.[2]
In 2005, Clinton voted NO[3] on the “Protection of Lawful Commerce Act,” a similar bill that was eventually passed into law.[4]
In 2006, Clinton voted against the Vitter Amendment, an amendment to the Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006, which sought to “prohibit the confiscation of a firearm during an emergency or major disaster if the possession of such firearm is not prohibited under Federal or State law.” The amendment passed into law despite Clinton’s best efforts.[5]
But while she was not faced with the gun issue for much of her tenure as NY Senator, her public statements are very clear.
