During last night’s presidential debate, Hillary Clinton said she was against the Supreme Court’s ruling in DC vs. Heller which protects 2nd Amendment rights in federal enclaves. Clinton claimed the intent of the attempted DC gun ban was to protect “toddlers.”
Even though Heller was all about eliminating the 2nd Amendment rights in Washington, D.C., Politifact found some truth in Clinton’s “toddlers” claim:

This is one of the most untrue things ever said by a politician in a debate & @PolitiFact gave it a "half true." https://t.co/bSuEJWERvT

Saying Heller was about something other than individual gun rights is like saying Roe v Wade is about something other than abortion.

And if Hillary made that claim, they’d find a way to make it at least “half true.”

Note the @NRA citing Clinton's on-tape statement about Australian-style gun confiscation was rated "mostly false" https://t.co/CTAi2BJZN5

Politifact also said she was not for open borders when she clearly is as stated in #PodestaEmails13
