Trump Distorts Clinton’s Gun Stance [View all]
Donald Trump distorts the facts when he says Hillary Clinton wants to take your guns away and abolish the Second Amendment. Clintons gun violence prevention proposal would impose restrictions, including a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons, but it does not call for banning all guns.
Trump made his remarks at a rally in Lynden, Washington, eliciting boos from his audience. As we have written before, Trump made a similar remark in a TV interview on Jan. 6, when he claimed Clinton wants to take everyones gun away.
Trump, May 7: Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to abolish it. Hillary Clinton wants to take your guns away and she wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to take the bullets away. She wants to take it.
Clinton has a gun violence prevention proposal on her website, which would deny gun owners from buying certain guns and block or delay the ability of some to purchase guns. But it does not call for taking any guns away.
