The phrase "...in the pocket of..." carries connotations of graft and corruption where money is exchanged in a Quid Pro Quo agreement, similar to allegations that Secretary Clinton is "in the Pocket of" various corporations and agenda based organizations that have paid stupendous speaking fees to her and her husband.

CNN's Dan Mercia or his editor has made an assertion in the headline that is not supported in the body of the article. If Secretary Clinton made the assertion that is not reflected in the article.

My interpretation of CNN's play is: The readers are too lazy to read the article, or are not astute enough to recognize that CNN is just BSing while attempting to pass political bias as actual journalism. Dan Mercia should look up the difference between journalism and editorial opinion.

I've never read or heard a more internally redundant sentence in my life. LOL

He is pro 2nd amendment, she is in favor of restricting the rights afforded by the 2nd amendment. Is there a contradiction that I am missing? If she doesn't stfu, the gun manufacturers will have to add a shift to keep up with customer demand.

Besides, the requirements to change the Constitution is quite onerous and I seriously doubt that it would ever happen. Presidents do not have the unilateral power to modify the Constitution.

MCPO Roger Collins - True. However, we have seen the current president decide to make laws on his own because the process and the Constitution did not suit his goals.

Look at California-- they have banned almost every firearm, and are now on to registering ammunition and requiring background checks in order to purchase ammo. I guess "Shall Not Be Infringed" doesn't count in the Demokratik Peoples Republik of Kalifornia.

PO2 Robert Aitchison - HRC may not come straight out and say she would ban firearms but she has said plenty that implies the general public should not have a firearm for self-protection, just sporting purposes like target practice and hunting. When she advocates for an Australian style gun buyback what she is saying is she believes in gun confiscation because the Australian buy-back was not a voluntary program it was a mandate by the government that their citizens had to give up their personal property, firearms, unless certain conditions were met. Many did not oblige to the government's demands but that does not mean that it was not a demand and something completely different than what most Americans think of when they see buy back programs in cities around the U.S.

This one's easy. Which would you rather have your President beholding to: The NRA or a group of oil sheikhs? Well, it's easy for me...

And, to be fair, I don't see anyone exerting much restraint over Trump, do you?
