Chris Matthews: 'Outlaw' Semi-Automatic Guns
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/18/2012 5:18:18 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

I'm in New England this week, and this afternoon caught Ann Coulter on the Howie Carr show. She spoke of the amazing ignorance of liberals when it comes to firearms. Just a couple of hours later, Chris Matthews provided a perfect case in point.

On this evening's Hardball, speaking with Illinois Dem Senator Dick Durbin, Matthews proposed that Congress "outlaw" semi-automatic weapons. Does he not realize that doing so would render illegal virtually every hunting rifle in production? View the video here.

O Riley is on now stating that he thinks every “AR 15 type” weapon should be registered with the FBI.

I wonder if we will ever learn of the number of people who refuse to watch these clowns anymore? What are their “numbers”?

Meanwhile BOR is busy telling us how dangerous the “heavy weapons” like the AR-15 are.

If you suggested that weapons like the 30mm should be OK he’d probably agree because it doesn’t have those scary letters in front of it.

Gun bans. The Liberal’s wet dream for the last 60 years.

“We don’t want to take away your guns, we ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles and shotguns will not be affected!”-T J Dodd & Emanuel Cellar 1962.

Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time. So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice.

Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”

-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview

Now they also want the rifles and shotguns!

Wake up O”Riley, are you really dumb enough to think that criminals are going to register guns? You sound like Jesse Jackson.

The Republicans still control the House of Representatives and they had better stop this bill dead in it’s tracks. this one isn’t going to slide. there will be political consequences in 2014 for allowing this bill to pass in 2013.
