Hillary Clinton (Photo: CS Monitor<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Yes, the headline of this article is to entice you to guess who it is I\u2019m referring to. Who, of all the candidates running for president in 2016 inspires the most confidence in voters that he or she (hint, hint, hint) will do whatever it takes to curtail the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners?<\/p>\n

If you guessed Trump \u2014 well, you\u2019d be wrong. If you guessed Bernie Sanders \u2014 well, you\u2019d also be wrong. Because the candidate that won on gun control, according to exit polling in South Carolina, was none other than Hillary Clinton!<\/p>\n

Surprise! Surprise!<\/p>\n

Clinton dominated South Carolina in the Democratic Primary, crushing Sanders by a near 48-point margin, beating the self-described \u201cdemocratic socialist\u201d with 73.5 percent of the vote compared to his 26 percent.<\/p>\n

On gun control, which figured to be an important issue for some following the mass killing in Charleston last year, voters who favored reducing gun violence over protecting gun rights (81 percent of Democratic voters felt this way) chose Hillary by a 50 percent margin.<\/p>\n

One of the voters, Graham Holson from Edgefield, S.C., claimed to have \u201ctons of guns \u2013 handguns, rifles, you name it,\u201d in an interview with C.S. Monitor.<\/a> Holson, who also said he had a concealed carry, permit spoke about the gun problem in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a country we\u2019re becoming a cultural no-man\u2019s-land where every house is a militia, and that\u2019s not good,\u201d said Holson, a Sanders supporter. \u201cAlso, I don\u2019t understand these banana clips that are this long \u2013 I have no need to kill 20 people in 20 seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holson was described as a \u201ctwenty-something\u201d with a \u201cjacked-up white pickup truck with a goofy pit bull riding shotgun.\u201d I know what you\u2019re thinking, does this guy even exist? Was he made up by this publication to pepper up their article with anti-gun rhetoric? \u00a0Is he a government shill?<\/p>\n

Assuming that he isn\u2019t a fictitious character but is, in fact, a real human being, all I can say is this young man is a bit ignorant on gun culture. Starting with the obvious, the use of the word \u201cclips\u201d in describing standard-capacity magazines is a telltale sign that he doesn\u2019t get it, especially for a dude with \u201ctons of guns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, there is the implication that the size of the magazine determines the speed and the accuracy in which one shoots. Another myth. I\u2019d much rather have a reliable shooter by my side with a limited-capacity firearm, e.g. Jerry Miculek with a six-shot revolver, than an inexperienced shooter with an AR-15 and a 30-round magazine. Sure capacity is important, but it isn\u2019t the end-all-be-all when it comes to speed and accuracy. Experience matters.<\/p>\n

Finally, the young man\u2019s complaint that \u201cevery house is a militia\u201d is disturbing. If he knew the text of the Second Amendment and had a proper understanding of the history of the U.S., chances are he wouldn\u2019t lament the fact that more and more households are becoming well-armed. He would embrace it. He would encourage it. He would recognize that what protects us from the biggest existential threat to our existence \u2014 government tyranny \u2014 is our 2A rights.<\/p>\n

Alas! He doesn\u2019t. He just doesn\u2019t get it. And, sadly, I bet he\u2019s not the only confused voter out there. There are probably millions of gun owners who feel that Hillary or Bernie\u2019s \u201creasonable\u201d and \u201ccommon-sense\u201d stance on guns is what this country needs. I\u2019ll I can say at this point, and I guess I can\u2019t be emphatic enough about it, be careful what you wish for guys and gals, be careful what you wish for!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
