re: Leaked Hillary Audio: "The SCOTUS is wrong on the 2nd Amendment"

quote:

---

When Stephanopoulos first asked her if the right to bear arms is constitutional,

I think that for most of our history there was a nuanced reading of the Second Amendment, until the decision by the late Justice [Antonin] Scalia. And there was no argument until then that localities, and states, and the federal government had a right–as we do with every amendment–to impose reasonable regulations.

Stephanopoulos followed up, pressing her to give a direct answer as to whether the right to bear arms is constitutional. Clinton said, “If it is a constitutional right, then it–like every constitutional right–is subject to reasonable regulation.”
