Chelsea: Mom Wants More on Gun Control

Oops. I think we now know why they don't let Chelsea talk to reporters. Much. This is what happens when they do:

Chelsea Clinton told supporters in Billings that the country needs to do more with gun control laws, during the final visit on her two day tour campaigning on her mother's behalf in the Magic City.During a question and answer session before seniors and other supporters at the Yellowstone County Council on Aging Office Friday morning, Chelsea said, "We also need to do more with gun control. And my mom supports- naturally what she supported in New York. Which is: we have different gun control laws in New York City than we do in upstate New York."

Hillary has gone to great lengths to show that she is no threat on gun control, as have many Democrats as a whole. It's just such a deal killer in crucial states like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, I could go on, but you get the picture.

Hillary 2000:

Hillary Rodham Clinton offered her support for a legislative proposal to license hand guns. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer, would require anyone who wants to purchase a gun to obtain a state-issued photo gun license. "I stand in support of this common sense legislation to license everyone who wishes to purchase a gun," Clinton said. "I also believe that every new handgun sale or transfer should be registered in a national registry, such as Chuck is proposing."

...

If you own a gun... make sure it's locked up and stored without the ammunition. In fact, make it stored where the ammunition is stored separately. We've made some progress in the last several years with the Brady Bill and some of the bans on assault weapons, but we have a lot of work to do.

Hillary Clinton 2008:

Hillary Rodham Clinton, locked in a fierce battle for Texas, said Monday that as president, she would not try to impose New York-like gun restrictions at the national level.

Mrs. Clinton said in an interview with The Dallas Morning News that she would like to see bans on assault weapons and the end of loopholes that allow weapons to be sold at gun shows without required background checks.

It's close, but there are some subtle but distinct differences. For one, it appears that the national registry idea is gone with the wind. As it should be, if she is serious about being president. But best get Chelsea with the program... don't talk about gun control, especially in Montana!
