Hillary Tells NRA Member: I Used to Be a Duck Hunter
"Posted on 06/02/2002 8:25:53 PM PDT by Paul Atreides
In a surprise revelation during a Memorial Day campaign swing through upstate New York, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton announced that she used to be a duck hunter.
The bizarre claim went unreported till Sunday, when Long Island's Newsday detailed a Clinton reception in the tiny village of Fort Ann, N.Y.
Resident Holden Clous, a National Rifle Association member, asked what the paper described as "a rather hostile question" about why Mrs. Clinton favored tightening laws governing gun show sales.
"He wasn't satisfied when she said it was a logical safety measure to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, but he seemed surprised when she said she had once hunted," the paper said.
Newsday then added, "It was ducks and a long time ago, she amplified later."
Clinton apparently declined to give further details on her days as a game fowl hunter, including who she hunted with, what kind of rifle she used and how many ducks she killed. "
While I'd agree she's appears consistent in her gun control position, it's not without an air of hypocrisy.
