14. If she somehow gets to be our next president and tries this stupid idea

She'll never get elected to a second term.

"Buyback" is a nice way of disguising the true intent - confiscation of all privately owned firearms. She's going to lose a lot of Democrats over this issue. Not me, she lost me a long time ago. But it will bite her in the ass.

The one good thing about it is, I don't think she really has any intention of actually doing this. It's just more Clinton bullshit to get her past the nomination. Once she is the nominee all this feel good crap about gun buybacks will disappear because she'll never get elected if she keeps talking like that.

It's one more example of why she can't be trusted.
