I really believe that one of the concentrations of Hillary's administration as POTUS will be gun-control. She'll get blood on her hands and hatred from the GOP, but it would be epic moment for her. A moment that would shape or define her tenure. Healthcare would normally be that key issue, but since Obama passed the ACA, she will just build on that now after fighting that battle for decades.
I'm here for her going for the double whammy, gun-control and an increase in sales tax for firearms. She once supported a legislation that was geared towards that. Profits from that could go towards some of her promising programs she has proposals for.

Hillary Rodham Clinton told Congress yesterday that, "speaking personally," she would support a tax on guns and ammunition to raise money for health care reform and to highlight the link between violence and health costs.
"I'm all for it," she declared in a response to a suggestion by Sen. Bill Bradley (D-N.J.) that the Congress should impose a 25 percent sales tax on handguns to "tax directly the purveyors of violence."
"I just don't know what else we're going to do to get a handle on violence. We will look at your proposal," she said, although White House officials said later there is no plan to include it as a way to finance health reform.
Bradley said a 25 percent tax on handguns and raising the gun dealer license fee to $2,500, from its current $30 to $70, would raise $600 million, according to figures from the Joint Committee on Taxation.

I know, I'm getting ahead of myself. But what do you see a stance she'll take and get pushed through that will define her legacy?
What a reverse warholian experience.
