[George from New England]

Of course — all criminals want us sheeple disarmed.

[hinckley buzzard]

What reasoning led these media turds to think asking Hinckley about gun control was a good idea. What clowns.

[Little Ray]

And his opinion matters, why?

[T.B. Yoits]

If they’re that mentally ill, they shouldn’t have access to gasoline, automobiles, knives, medications, etc. - they shouldn’t be running around without supervision at all.

[T-Bird45]

"And yet, Ronald Reagan opposed gun control."

Mulford Act

[reg45]

Hinkley says: I can’t impress Jodie Foster by shooting Reagan because Reagan is dead. If I want to impress her today, I’ll just have to shoot Trump. All the girls in Hollywood will love me.

[fightin kentuckian]

WOW, the irony just drips.

[butlerweave]

He’s just sucking up to the stupid Democrats

[Theophilus]

I support drawing and quartering treasonous presidential assassins wannabes. No satisfaction from our justice system.

[ConservativeInPA]

I always look towards attempted assassins for unconstitutional advice.

[Maceman]

Where is a firing squad when it is so needed?

[Boomer]

The Babylon Bee is going to have a field day with this one.

[Allegra]

Probably because Jodie Foster supports gun control measures.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

I heard he said this looking up from chewing on a corn cob.

What excellent investigative journalist broke this story wide open?

[TigersEye]

Why is a major news network putting an attempted assassin on the air to discuss gun control????

Birds of a feather flock together.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember that day well! Frank Reynolds on ABC was practically in hysterics! At one moment it was mentioned that the handgun had been bought in Dallas TX.
Reynolds threw his hands in the air and yelled...”A-G-G-H! DALLAS!”

Meanwhile the next day on Good Morning America, actress Lee Grant was poking holes in the air and yelled...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”

Four years later they came for the rifles.

[piasa]

Of course he does, in a mental case’s view he isn’t responsible for anything, the gun made him do it.

[jmcenanly]

Is he still trying t impress her? Doesn’t he know by now that she prefers women?

[Houserino]

He should’ve been executed in the 80s, like squeaky fromme should have been in the 70s.

This would be like if bin laden were alive today and freed saying ‘there’s too many planes’.

[JimRed]

The mentally ill should not have access to society, but there are not enough nuthouses for all the queers, Democrats and other nutjobs.
