Hillary Clinton Shows The Guts Trump Lacks By Taking On The NRA After Las Vegas Massacre

As our nation grieves yet another mass shooting, this one the worst mass shooting in our history with at least 50 dead and 400 more injured during the Las Vegas Strip shooting, longtime NRA fighter Hillary Clinton pointed out, “The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.”

Clinton made this connection because Republicans were set to vote this week to loosen restrictions on gun silencers.

Hillary Clinton took on the powerful corporate interests during her career including Citizens United and the NRA. She also took on Russia, Republicans, and the media.

On this issue, Clinton has a long record of being both brave and lonely, as very few politicians have the courage to stand up to the NRA, because they spend so much money on dark smear campaigns against anyone who does. Hillary Clinton never let that stop her from speaking out, and even though she is technically not our president, she is acting more like a president than Donald Trump.

People say she should just go away. But why? She is the smartest person in the room with the most experience and she has more political courage than most politicians.

We need all of the leaders for the people we can get.
