On August 3rd, 2016, the Libertarian candidate for vice president, William Weld, was interviewed on REVOLT TV.
REVOLT TV Chief Political Correspondent Amrit Singh asked candidate Weld about legislation and his views on guns. A short video clip of the relevant section has been posted on Youtube by occupy the media. The gun segment starts right away in the clip.
William Weld:
"The five shot rifle, that is a standard military rifle, the problem is if you attach a clip to it that holds more shells and if you remove the pin so that it becomes an automatic weapon, and those are independent criminal offences. That is when they become, essentially, a weapon of mass destruction. The problem with handguns probably is even worse than the problem of the AR15."
Amrit Singh:
"What can you do to help control this flow of guns, if anything?"
William Weld:
"You shouldn't have anybody who is on the terrorist watch list buy any gun at all."
Weld: Having said "I have a license to carry, you do not mind if I reach for it, do you?"As an attorney, he seems to have little care for the rule of law, due process, and the idea of "innocent until proven guilty".
A rifle is a “weapons of mass destruction” only in the hands of a trained marksman who is properly equipped for the task.
“Alex, I will take “How do I make my ticket non-viable for the entire Libertarian Party voting block, for $100, please””
Trump surrogates need to spread this to make sure these clowns only cannibalize HRC votes. I wouldn’t want Trump himself giving any attention to them because it’ll raise their profile.
William Weld: "You shouldn't have anybody who is on the terrorist watch list buy any gun at all."
If liberals have their way, the ONLY people on 'terrorist watch lists' will be conservative Americans.
More disinformation from an ignorant fool. First, there is no military organization in the world that has a 5 shot magazine for its standard issue battle rifle. Secondly, the notion that conversion of semi-auto to fully automatic by simply removing some “magic” pin, is complete nonsense. Gun grabbers live by spreading bullshit.
This man is woefully uninformed as well as being just plain stupid. After incorrectly citing a 5-shot rifle as the standard military rifle (maybe for WWI) and then saying handguns are an even bigger threat, he brags about his own personal carry situation even offering to brandish his for the interviewer. How big of a dumbass could one Libertarian be? BTW, I'd like to know where that "pin" in my AR-15 that I could just remove to make it full auto. Frigging putz.
>>Libertarian VP William Weld calls rifles “weapons of mass destruction”

It’s a tool, Silly Willy, it’s a tool, and like other tools, it can be used for “good” or for “bad”.
Honestly, I wonder how civilization survive with this level of intellect (or lack thereof)...smh.
Weld is a Mass hole retard.
Ping.
What the heck is going on with the Libertarian Party?
Are they for freedom or not?????
I’m glad you have that screen name. You might have important work this election. We need to drive a wedge in that party or Hillary’s judges will wreck everything libertarians stand for.
So much for libertarians - at one time they stood for freedom, but now they’re just plain insane.
There are rifles that can work like machine guns if a pin is pulled. It’s stupid to do it, however. Better to aim each shot most of the time and also better suppression fire to cook them off at a slower pace.
Weld, like many from Massachusetts, appears to be just another know-nothing, elitist jackass.
What rifles. You can’t do that with an AR-15 by simply ‘removing a pin’ to my knowledge.
They’ve gone completely crazy, Arthur, and it’s a sad thing to witness.
Back in the day, many of their leaders were brilliant ideologues but now, sadly, they are just plain stupid.
The only other possibility is that they have been infiltrated in the same manner as the GOP has been, with Globalists acting their assigned roles.
And if you really want to scare off someone? Burn some ammo in a can. Pretty sure it’s illegal in the US, but if you are in a life-and-death struggle in wartime, it’s effective enough to hold back an entire platoon if they don’t know what you’re doing.
Just be sure to have a fuse with a long enough delay for you to reach safety.
THERE is the true face of the Libertarian Party in 2016, you #NeverTrump morons! It is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Demonrat Party, meant to suck away votes from the Republican and install Hillary.
