Just when you thought CES couldn’t get any randomer than Qualcomm’s “Generation Mobile” atrocity, guess who showed up? Bill Clinton, who stopped by to speak in the middle of Samsung president Stephen Woo’s presentation. Not only that, but according to CNET’s liveblog, in the midst of his remarks he digressed and started talking about gun control.

The man used to be the leader of the free world; you really thought he’d get on stage at a trade show and stick to the subject? Child, please.

Mr. Clinton’s appearance seemed a little random, but his philanthropic work involves attempts to close the technology gap between richer and poor countries, and he’s specifically partnered with Samsung to work on the issue. Also, as much money as they’ve got flowing around that conference, why not hire a former president to speak?

And yes, he did start out on the topic of technology: ”On the day I took the oath of office, a grand total of 50 sites on the entire Internet,” he opened, before tacking toward the reason for his presence in Las Vegas, reminding everyone that poor countries need tech for things other than Evernote-integrated fridges.

That’s when he started to drift. CNET says Mr. Clinton started talking about bad things that’ve happened all over the world, but like a record hitting a scratch, he got hung up on ”unjustifiable neglect of gun safety”:

Clinton talking about gun control and the death rate in the U.S. compared to other countries. “I grew up in this hunting culture, but this is nuts,” Clinton says. “Why does anybody need a 30-round clip for a gun?” Half of all deaths have occurred since the assault weapons ban expired, Clinton offers...

Did he later head to the Bunny Ranch?

Here's a chance for a republican ex-president to publically respond.

How about it George? A word or two in defense of the Constitution?

Back when this clown was Prez there was a shooting in Washington State in which two or three people were killed at a boatyard.
Billy immediately went on an anti-gun tirade calling for more gun control.

At the same time there were two people kidnapped near here in Arkansas, taken into Missouri and had their throats cut.

There was no outcry from billy Boy.

The FBI took evidence, had a suspect, and the FBI lab screwed up the case so bad they had to let the suspect go.

“I grew up in this hunting culture, but this is nuts,” Clinton says. “Why does anybody need a 30-round clip for a gun?”

Because homicidal Marxist nuts like you run the feral government, Willie.

Governments have murdered 262 million of their own citizens in the past 113 years, and the overwhelming majority of those murders were perpetrated by Socialist/Communist/Marxist governments just like the one you and your fellow travelers are creating.

You're right Bill we need at least 60 rd magazines. 30 round magazines are not enough. ARs are good for hunting tyrants which is the essence of the 2nd Amendment, and half your brain has died since the first AWB was created 20 years ago.

Q. Why does anybody need a 30-round clip for a gun?

A. To hunt thirty redcoats

I’m sure all of the mothers and children who perished at Waco are tinkled pink about this.
