Hillary and the gun deals she signed off on....

[Luminous Animal]

Let's start with a quote from Hillary from the Univision debate:

“you want to talk about corporate greed? The gun manufacturers sell guns to make as much money as they can make.”

A Pentagon document, linked to by Lee Fang of The Intercept shows that "Clinton approved a sale of over 4 million dollars ($4,195,110.40 by my count) by the Remington Arms Company of New York in 2012. This is particularly notable because Remington is the same gun maker that made the AR-15-type semiautomatic rifle (a Bushmaster XM15-E2S) used by Adam Lanza in the Sandy Hook massacre in December of 2012. Remington Arms is now the subject of the families’ lawsuit.

Furthermore;

The Pentagon document also shows Clinton that year approved over $100 million dollars ($116,160,367.19 by my count) in ammunition sales by Alliant Techsystems, the parent company of Savage Arms, which makes the MK II-F bolt action rifle Lanza used to kill his mother.

This revenue for gun and ammunition makers helped the NRA in its political efforts. In 2014, Bill Clinton campaigned for Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas. Pryor’s opponent Tom Cotton was supported by NRA money contributing to Pryor’s defeat. Clinton thus approved gun sale revenue that would have flowed through Remington, Colt and others to the NRA onwards to the Clintons’ declared political opponents. NRA spending on lobbying and elections outpaced such spending by the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence by 73 to 1 in 2012.

Many of the Clinton-approved sales were to client nations who receive military aid from the U.S. (Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel) and thus from taxpayers. So the NRA is funded by your taxes this way:

you → federal government → client nation → gunmaker → NRA

1. This is just one of many such instances from the war industry...

Even Obama ran an ad against her for taking money from Textron Systems, which was making the cluster bombs that the Saudis have been dropping on civillians in Yemen. I can't believe she has the chutzpah to bring up guns and the NRA, when her record on arms control and arms sales is so awful. But, hey, they are only killing brown people who can't vote, so I guess it doesn't matter <deep angry sarcasm>.

4. Don't forget the $20 Million she got for Colt, manufacturer who 1st brought the AR-15 to market.

Who continues to market it 50 years later.

5. Sanders voted against the Brady Bill, For Commodities act and For Minuteman legislation...

Almost a year and Sanders camp still thinks Sanders can chunk that rock in his hand
