If Hillary is elected will she impose more gun laws?

Do you feel that government involvement in any laws that create any type of censorship go against the first amendment? Also do you feel that the government should err on the side of caution by making laws trying to protect people, or is it the governments job to err on the side of caution by allowing the maximum amount of freedom on the subject?

Did you get a gun because of this stalker, or had you owned one for a while before this? Also, how do you deal with anti-gun people when they say that guns should be taken away from people.

Why then, does the ACLU not try to combat any of the laws that limit our rights under the Second Amendment? We can have both security and our rights with firearms. We do not have to choose between security and freedoms. We can have both. The problem with NYCs gun ban, 922r, as well as the National Firearms Act and all its additions, is that they have a negative impact on our rights. They do not make us more secure from criminals who already have, and use guns in crimes (which is more illegal), yet have HUGE negative impacts on our rights. For example, when the NFA closed the machine gun registry in the 1980s, no one is allowed to register any new machine guns, even though, correct me if I'm wrong, that from 1932 until present only one NFA item has ever been used in a crime. Ever. 922r puts arbitrary limitations on how many imported parts can be used to build a weapon. The banning of barreled parts kits is another issue. There are so many laws that if they limited someone's first amendment rights, the ACLU, and the American people would be livid. But because it's the second amendment and you don't politically agree with it, you will let it violate the same legal document that protects your first amendment? We should allow every single law abiding citizen the right to bear arms, as explicitly laid out in the second amendment. No matter how controversial a particular weapon is. Every argument that anyone uses to defend the first amendment, should be used to defend the second.
