Who does she think she is talking to?

She also reiterated a challenge initiated last week to promote an alternative to the National Rifle Association, calling on gun owners to "form another organization and take back the second amendment from these extremists."

What?

The NRA is not more extreme than its membership, this is one of the largest political organizations in the world and for every voluntary dues paying member there are two or three who agree but are too cheap to join.

Hillary probably thinks that the guys that wrote the Second amendment were terrible extremists, she might have found King George III agreeing with her a lot.

King George thought it good for civil order to confiscate a lot of the privately held guns , fifty years later Antonio López de Santa Anna thought that peace and good order would be served by confiscating weapons in Texas.

History does not really repeat itself , but it rhymes a lot.

So true.  I mean, look at these overt and yes, extreme rhetoric trying to characterize the NRA as literally a terrorist organization.  That'd be akin to claiming the ACLU a terrorist organization.  And you have more and more encouragement, (due to the precedent this President has now set) that Obama (& now Clinton as well) sign executive orders to supersede the the legislative process.  Constitution simply just keeps getting in the way

It is nothing but a simple hobbyist organization.  That makes millions off the paranoia of delusional morons, some of whom are dangerous, and most of whom are just useless gun nuts who got tired of complaining about the tyranny of efficient light bulbs.

Hillary is right: it will take a majority opposition organization to take down the NRA.

I am all for that.

Ok.

But there is a reason that there is no such thing so far, Hillary on this issue represents a minority, and a badly motivated minority.

There have been alternatives to the NRA for a long time , but most of these are for people who think the NRA too timid.

Here is a new alternative to the NRA, perhaps better for Democrats.

"I generally like the NRA, but I think that too often sometimes they get involved in partisanship [and think] it's more important to endorse a Republican candidate over someone who might be an even stronger supporter of the Second Amendment," says Petersen.
