Wednesday in Iowa, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton compared the staunch Second Amendment advocacy of the National Rifle Association (NRA) to “the Iranians and Communists.”

Clinton said “I also have said that I would take certain executive actions to close these loopholes. And it may be, because you know the White House has time ahead — it maybe be that the White House will want to do that. And I would be fully supportive of that, whatever we can do to send a message. Now the real answer to this is for gun owners to form a different organization that supports the Second Amendment, supports their rights to own guns, use guns, go hunting, goes target shooting, but stands against the absolutism of the NRA.”

She added, “You know, the NRA’s position reminds me of negotiating with the Iranians or the Communists. You know there is no possible discussion and it’s for political purposes.”
