(72 posts)as sec of state had no problem selling 150+ billion dollars in arms to foreign countries during her tenure -- killing is killing I say, never mind the Foundation angle.
Really?

(13,889 posts)I think saying that some people's deaths shouldn't be discussed in public policy matters is exactly what organizations like the NRA want to see. They want to keep labeling it a 'tragedy' as if it were a natural disaster or something that could not have been avoided by policy changes.

(38,437 posts)Your criticizing them for criticizing you for criticizing them?
By virtue of your statement you have, at the very least, agreed that your candidate using the murder of children for political gain is wrong.

(52,162 posts)those children are dead because of terrible political decisions we have made. We made the decision to let anyone buy any gun at any time for any reason or no reason at all and then we are shocked, shocked I tell you that deranged nuts do what this deranged nut did. We also decided, that alone among industries, the gun industry can't be sued for their conduct no matter how much bad faith their actions show.

(39,451 posts)I wish we could get rid of all guns, but I also understand they are legal.
dsc
(52,162 posts)they sold more guns than could ever be bought by Virginians to gun stores in VA who turned around and sold them to people who any one would know was being used as a straw purchaser and then lo and behold 2/3 of guns used in crimes up and down the east coast come from Virginia gun shops. They did the same thing with Indiana gun stores and Chicago. When they started being sued for this behavior they ran to Congress and got Congress to pass a law banning the suits.

(3,226 posts)The bill that Hillary keeps shitting on Bernie for voting for which protected gun manufactures from being sued also out outlawed the very type of gun that killed those children which was part of the reason Bernie voted for it.
dsc
(52,162 posts)the Senate version had that but not the house version and he voted for the house version.

(55,981 posts)matter how much bad faith their actions show." Sorry, but having trouble making out what that sentence means. Seems you are saying that the industry can't be sued for bad faith actions. Have I got that correct?
This issue is being totally distorted. The gun industry isn't immune to being sued just like any other industry. The law made it not possible to single out the gun industry for liabilities that don't apply to any other industry.
Under what circumstances do you think the gun industry should be sued?
By the way, I am strongly pro-gun control.
dsc
(52,162 posts)that refused to control the sale of guns, such as VA, and then sit back and watch as 2/3 of the guns involved in crimes in cities up and down the east coast (such as Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston to name four) come from those very gun stores they should be sued. I think they also should be sued when they fund a group which spends vast funds to stop VA from passing a law that reduces sales to one gun per month as they did.

(72 posts)you know what it feels like to sells arms to foreign countries to the tune of 150+ Billion Dollars, peddling the the big stuff (stuff that kills people) to the very people your Foundation and your hubby hit up or will hit up for contributions.
To vote for Hillary is to be okay with this shit.
So, say it out loud right now, if you're voting for Hillary, say it "I'm okay with this apparent conflict of interest, involving selling 150 Billion Dollars in arms, putting that many more "guns" in the world, and I'm okay with the Clinton Foundation garnering millions in donations as an apparent attachment to the deals."
It's not complicated.
