Secretary Clinton approved millions in gun sales for Sandy Hook gun maker Remington

As a judge rules that the Sandy Hook families’ lawsuit against Remington can move forward, Hillary Clinton is using the massacre for political gain the presidential campaign. At the Univision debate in March, Clinton said “you want to talk about corporate greed? The gun manufacturers sell guns to make as much money as they can make.” But a recently identified Pentagon document shows that Clinton is very close to the ‘corporate greed’ of Remington herself.
Investigative journalist Lee Fang of The Intercept recently tweeted a link to a Pentagon document showing the arms sold by U.S. companies around the world in 2012.

These weapons sales needed approval from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The sales include over $100 million dollars ($100,737,273.66 by my count) of gun sales in 2012 alone. A sizeable fraction of these are handheld guns manufactured by household name gun makers Colt, Beretta and Remington. These approvals represented lucrative deals for gun manufacturers that fund the National Rifle Association - Lee Fang also found bankruptcy documents that prove Colt Defense was funding the NRA.

In that year, the document shows Clinton approved sales of over 4 million dollars ($4,195,110.40 by my count) for the Remington Arms Company of New York. This is particularly notable because Remington is the same gun maker that made the AR-15 used by Adam Lanza in the Sandy Hook massacre in December of 2012 and is now the subject of the families’ lawsuit.

1. How about Colt? They made the rifle I used in Vietnam

[Hoyt]

2. At least those arms were going to governments. Sanders has assisted domestic use of guns in non-war

zones. Should stop both, but why assist domestic gun profiteers.

[astrophuss42]

4. Interesting argument

Errr hypocrisy?

[demosincebirth]

11. He's totally innocent of any thing in your eyes. he's done nothing shady, right?

[wendylaroux]

3. Someone needs to sue Hillary. Sweet,caring Hillary.

[arcane1]

5. Remember when she said Sanders cared more about the guns than the dead children?

Will that horrible woman apply the same nonsense to her own ghoulish self?

Will the supporters who defended her shameless comment show consistency by applying the comment to her as well?

Or were they just exploiting those kids to score points?

[Octafish]

12. Did she ever apologize?

Has she apologized for the Johnathan Capehart photo smear?

How about...

[arcane1]

14. How could she apologize when she's never wrong?

[Octafish]

15. Like Nixon.

"When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal."

[amborin]

13. whatever it takes to get votes

and money

6. K&R

In that year, the document shows Clinton approved sales of over 4 million dollars ($4,195,110.40 by my count) for the Remington Arms Company of New York.

7. Hey, their money's as good as anybody else's. n/t

[northernsouthern]

8. That show hypochrasy

The problem is many of the staunch HRC crew will not care since they consider foreign arms deals ok. They only have an issue if it is Americans or maybe american looking countries where the shooting happens. It could be something to sway voters since it is a dark truth, but if they were fine with Annie Oakley...

[SoapBox]

10. Oh I so remember that.

[Jefferson23]

9. Very interesting, thanks. n/t

[Hekate]

16. How does a Secretary of State approve gun sales?

Seriously
