In addition to Petraeus, former CIA director Michael Hayden and retired Admiral Thad Allen have pledged to push for more gun laws with Mark Kelly.
And to think we had experts on this site pushing for a Petraeus presidency or as a VP...
Sure glad that could never happen again.
I am voting for where they are now, not where they were.
And we know where Hillary is now.
Nothing changes over time, it was just yesterday that Douglas MacArthur led Soldiers against Veterans, during the Great Depression, who were protesting peacefully in Washington D.C., asking for early payment for WWI Veterans Bonus.
Ya think it won't ever happen again - you could not be more wrong.
Some Officers in our Military would have no problem issuing the order to fire on Civilians. Doug MacArthur had no problem rousting Veterans.
Buy more bullets, is all I can tell you.
( Yep, there is Video of Smedley Butler pleading with the Veterans to go home and leave the shanty towns, prior to Doug MacAurthur leading U. S. Army Soldiers to roust the Veterans )
slade takes a position on no man until after he sees something he doesn't like. And he does it over and over and over again. He's the poster boy for the term, "Monday Morning Quarterback."
"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
There is nothing great, or daring greatly, or high achievemtn, nor striving greatly, about anything having to do with gun control, from either Hillary, or any Military Officer.
Gun control is totally defeatist, in regards to our Constitution.
Slade takes a position on no man UNTIL he's fallen.
That was my point.
Maybe if you did a little vetting and research before opening your alligator mouth ahead of your chickity arse you would be believable.
And for the record liar, I correctly predicted when each of these candidates were toast, long before they dropped, much to your disparaging diatribes.
1. Walker 2. Perry 3. Carson 4. Paul 5. Rubio 6. Carly 7. Cruz 8. Bush and the rest were a given.
NEXT...
You said not a word about any of them until after they were gone.
And to this day, despite multiple challenges from multiple people here, you still have yet to say ONE WORD about why you worship a buffoon named Donald Trump.
Next you will be quoting your other favorite democrat Dingy Harry.
Be prepared. Jay

Petraeus: Self-Censor to Avoid Offending Muslims
Petraeus doesn’t offer any alternative suggestion as to how jihad terrorists can be prevented from entering the United States. He just doesn’t like Trump’s former proposal, and what he terms “hate speech against Muslims” in general, because he says it will enrage Muslims and make more of them join the jihad against America. So the upshot of Petraeus’ argument is that we must not say things to which Muslims might object, because this will just make more of them become jihadis.
His prescription for minimizing the jihad against the West is for the West to practice self-censorship in order to avoid offending Muslims.
Dear Friend of the Second Amendment:
Anti-gun activist David Petraeus is under consideration for the position of Secretary of State in the Trump administration.
Although Petraeus seldom speaks publicly on domestic issues, he hates guns so much that he teamed up with anti-gun leader Mark Kelly and his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, to co-found the Veterans Coalition for Common Sense, an anti-gun organization devoted to "do[ing] more to prevent gun tragedies" by "urging lawmakers to toughen gun laws."
Not surprisingly, the Leftist media is elated that a gun-hater like Petraeus might be awarded the top Cabinet post by Trump.This is true even though Petraeus, in November 2012, resigned as CIA Director and pleaded guilty to leaking classified information to a biographer with whom he was having an extramarital affair.
But Petraeus' "Clinton-like" disregard for American security is the least of his problems.
As Secretary of State, Petraeus would play a key role in deciding whether to remove the U.S. from the UN Arms Trade Treaty (UN ATT). This agreement would mandate gun registration, and would authorize comprehensive gun bans -- all goals supported by Petraeus' colleagues Kelly and Giffords.
Petraeus would effectively decide whether to push for ratification of the anti-gun UN Small Arms Treaty.
Finally, Petraeus would have jurisdiction over the international trade (ITAR) regulations. Under Clinton/Kerry "guidance," these regulations have been expanded to outlaw gunsmithing. In addition, a gun technician who communicates "how-to" information about guns on the Internet (without purchasing a $2,250 State Department license) could be prosecuted and imprisoned.
You can read GOA's comments against these anti-gun State Department regulations here.
If anti-gun Paeraeus is nominated and confirmed, we can expect these policies to be continued and expanded.
Donald Trump was elected with the broad support of members of the Second Amendment community. We believe it would be a huge mistake to begin his transition by putting an anti-gun activist in a position whether he could regulate and ban guns.
Sincerely,
Tim Macy Chairman
That would be a direct violation of the Constitution, aka, the Supreme Law of the Land.
Did you send an e-mail to your King for me? Your word would carry lots of weight I'm guessing....
Not unless they want to keep their jobs...
His top picks are General David Petraeus, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and anti-gun Senator Joe Manchin -- Obama's chief gun control architect who sponsored the “Toomey-Manchin” Gun Registration Scheme.
