Gun-control groups are gearing up for a Hillary Clinton campaign for president, saying the White House hopeful could prove a gigantic boon for their own policy devices.
“As Hillary runs for president, she has a tremendous opportunity to educate the American public about how effective background checks are and the need to finish the job,” said Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, to the Hill.
Clinton has been a staunch supporter of more gun control, telling a CNN town event crowd in mid-2014 the government needs to take more steps to expand background checks and ban assault weapons.
“We cannot let a minority of people, and that’s what it is, a minority of people, hold a view point that terrorizes the majority of people,” she said then.
Clinton also campaigned heavily for a national gun registry in 2000 during her run for the Senate.
Now gun control advocates are enthusiastic about the idea of her carrying that rhetoric onto the campaign trail.

As long as the people who steal their guns and grind off the serial numbers are first to undergo "background checks", I will volunteer to be first in line right after all of them.
