Did Hillary Clinton disagree with the Supreme Court on 2nd Amendment rights for Americans?
The issue of the 2nd Amendment was raised at the outset of Wednesday’s debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Trump assailed Clinton as a candidate who would hurt the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans. Moreover, moderator Chris Wallace noted Clinton’s past statements in opposition to a 2008 Supreme Court ruling.
“I disagree with the way the court applied the 2nd Amendment in that case,” Clinton said Wednesday, adding that she supports the 2nd Amendment but also wants to see more restrictions on firearms, such as universal background checks.
