Hillary Clinton's nuanced, subtle approach to guns and gun control

Cornel
The typical "mommy" Democrat thinks guns are icky and scary. These are the kind of Democrats who lose national elections - big time. Barack Obama is that kind of Democrat.

Hillary Clinton supports a wide variety of reasonable laws concerning guns - up to and including requiring that guns be locked and stored separately from ammunition, which, in my opinion, goes too far (since one of the traditional legitimate uses for guns is self defense - and this pretty much negates that).

But what Hillary Clinton does NOT do is demonize guns and gun owners. She doesn't talk about gun owners as if they suffered from some kind mental illness or came from another planet. She doesn't talk about gun owners as THEM.

There is neither inconsistency nor pandering involved in Clinton's position on guns. It is just common sense and good politics. Reasonable gun control laws do not interfere with reasonable gun ownership - any more than requiring people to have drivers licenses and to register their cars interferes with people owning and driving cars.

"Mommy" Democrats really do think that "gun-owner" = "gun-nut". Look at the crap that people are posting here in this tribe. Any Democrat who thinks like that will probably never be elected president. Hillary Clinton doesn't think that and doesn't talk that way, although she has a strong and consistent record in favor of gun-control.
