Year Before Sandy Hook Massacre, Hillary Approved $120 Mill Sales for Corps that Made Killer's Guns

Secretary Clinton Approved a $4 Million Sale for Sandy Hook Gun Maker Remington (Video)

By Jeanette Jing -

April 22, 2016


In the year before the Sandy Hook massacre, Secretary Clinton approved $120 million in sales for the companies that made the murder weapons Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and 6 adults, including a $4 million sale for gun maker Remington. Clinton used her office to facilitate the very corporate greed she claims to oppose while enriching and empowering the gun lobby she claims to fight.

On 14 April 2016, a judge ruled that the Sandy Hook families’ lawsuit against gunmaker Remington Arms can move forward. Hillary Clinton is using the massacre for political gain in the presidential campaign. At the Univision debate in March, Clinton said, “you want to talk about corporate greed? The gun manufacturers sell guns to make as much money as they can make.” But a newly identified Pentagon document shows that Clinton herself aided ‘corporate greed’ of Remington. (A summary table of Clinton-approved 2012 gun and ammunition sales is included at the bottom of this blog page.)

Was in the military action. This is a big difference, guess some still want to politicize this tragedy.

Statement and then a statement of Hillary authorizing military weapons for military action. It is a problem, civilians improperly using military weapons.

You're twisting "evidence" to make it fit with your belief. Very rightwing.

What now our military is supposed to be unarmed or use Chinese weapons or Hillary Clinton gets blamed for supporting arms dealers?
