It's very important, I'm told, to find things in common with the people you're asking to vote for you and to emphasize those similarities. Thus we now have Clinton reinventing herself as a pro-gun churchgoer. The article is kind of short, but it would be interesting for some intrepid reporter to ask her when she had last been to a range, or a hunting lodge, and when the last time was that she was in church. It'd be even better if she could discuss some hunts she's been on, her favorite calibers and firearms, and maybe give us a couple of favorite hymns or parts of a service.
I was always a bit partial to the nunc dimittis and the Apostles' Creed, myself, and think that it's hard to beat an HK rifle in .308, a Glock pistol in 9mm, and a Remington shotgun in 12 gauge.
But then, I'm not running for federal office. Hillary's watered down views on gun control - you
know, the thing that lost her husband control of Congress, are on display here, but those are the
typical tepid remarks made by someone seeking office, not views she might actually have. Those are better reflected when she's in front of an audience she's comfortable with. Compare the specificity of "...renew the ban on assault weapons and repeal the Tiahrt amendment, which restricts federal authorities from sharing gun-trace information with local law enforcement" with the bland banalities described previously.
