I consider Hillary to be a far more bloody-handed politician.

I would like him to "evolve" on gun control and support efforts to repeal laws meant to shield gun manufacturers and retailers from being sued out of existence.

In the year of the Sandy Hook massacre, Secretary Clinton approved $120 million in sales for the companies that made the murder weapons Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and 6 adults, including a $4 million sale for gun maker Remington. Clinton used her office to facilitate the very corporate greed she claims to oppose while enriching and empowering the gun lobby she claims to fight.


SNIP

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.

The document shows 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. Remington also made one of the assault rifles used by the San Bernardino killers, a DPMS Panther Arms A15.


https://medium.com/@JeanetteJing/secretary-clinton-approved-millions-in-global-sales-for-the-sandy-hook-gun-maker-9e8b0e78c58d#.ktpcahi34

No. It's not an M$M source, but they're paid to miss stories that connect the dots.

However, the document is real. The sale was real and the weapon Lanza used was really a Remington. She basically supported the companies that manufactured the guns these killers used. She, at one time, was the world's largest arms dealer. If she was so opposed, why didn't she do something about it when she was SoS?

Under Clinton's leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, nearly double the value of American arms sales during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

You should be tombstoned IMO...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1772364

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"You should be tombstoned" - Do I really need to explain why a threat like this should be marked as abusive?

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Apr 18, 2016, 08:27 PM, and the Jury voted 7-0 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No, there is no explanation necessary. It's just abusive.

Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Wow. Saying someone should die is beyond the pale and should never be permitted.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Advocating for someone to be killed is not cool.

If you think the demonstrated results of Clinton's policy goals and activities are somehow more honorable than simply pointing them out that's really your problem.

I'd suggest dropping the moral puffery and making a clear eyed evaluation of those results as they are in the real world.

And it came to the HRC group and just posted (nonsense) and provided a link spouting hysterical hypocrisy, guns, sandy hook, sales of weapons overseas...

I had to agree;

Actually it points out a perfect hypocrisy.

Sanders votes to allow gun manufactures unfettered gun sales anywhere in the US. The State Department has to approve weapons sales outside of the US.

The correct formula would have the State Department approving the kind of weapons that can be sold in the US as well.

Sanders wants any killing machine and their manufacturers to be free from any accountability, so yes, you pointed out a perfect hypocrisy.

Opps.
