This quote was as usual misquoted so as to prove the wingnut zealot point of view. What Clinton was saying is that the NRA has turned it's back on common since. The NRA believes EVERYONE has a right to own a gun even those seeking to do harm to others. Do we want Street Gangs so well armed they could be considered paramilitary groups? The NRA says HELL YEA. Clinton said HELL NO. Remember Gun Nuts there would not be any gun laws had a Nutcase not tried to assassinate your God Ronald Reagan.
