Juan Williams Clashes with Eric Bolling: ‘We Need America to Be a Gun-Free Zone’
Mediaite ^ | 4/5/2014 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 04/05/2014 2:17:13 PM PDT by markomalley

The tragic Fort Hood shooting this week reignited the debate over shootings in gun-free zones and whether gun-free zones are generally more prone to this kind of horrible violence. On Cashin’ In Saturday morning, Eric Bolling and Juan Williams tussled over mental health and the gun culture, with Williams saying, “I think we need America to be a gun-free zone.”

Jonathan Hoenig and Wayne Rogers agreed the problem is more about “seriously deranged people” as opposed to guns. Williams said, “I’m amused that you guys are so quick to run away from the easy availability of guns as having some responsibility for all of these tragedies.”

Michelle Fields said law-abiding gun owners shouldn’t be punished for what “a few crazy people did,” and Williams cried, “Who is punishing any gun owners?” Bolling brought up Williams’ comment about making America a gun-free zone, to which Williams said it’s never going to happen as long as the NRA keeps sidelining that conversation.

Fields and Williams battled over Fields’ assertion that Democrats “take advantage of these tragedies.” Williams challenged her to name one action Obama’s taken on guns, and Fields insisted “he would if he could!”

“Gun-free zone” merely means “targets of opportunity” for anybody who does not have the moral fortitude to obey the law, even when nobody is looking. Lying and deceit are among the very qualities that make highly effective pirates and thieves, and the traits have served every outlaw, or madman, the world has ever known.

We cannot forever depend upon others to fight our battles for us. When the war comes to one’s own doorstep, it shall be far too late for an application to the central government regarding a permit to keep and bear arms.

Not even to consider the logistics in actually obtaining firearms or ammunition should that situation prevail.

It should be noted that the household of every Swiss citizen has at least one firearm, which is in good order, with adequate ammunition, and Swiss male citizens are all part of the Swiss Army reserve. Non-citizen residents of Switzerland are accorded no such authority.

For a black man he is certainly ignorant of racist law. Gun control was about negro control, still is. He buys the liberal line too easily.

Gun free zones may work in other countries, ...

Like England?

Juan Williams and several others on Fox is why I have stopped watching Fox.

The few times a month I may turn it on I will change channels as soon as he shows up.....

I can’t take the Five due to “Beckel the Jackel”

My list includes:

Karl Rove
Beckel the Jackel
Juan “no truth” Williams
Huckelberry RINO
there are several others that require I turn the station off.

Juan Williams needs to try China.

Yeah, they don't have any guns there!

At least 33 dead and 130 injured after gang of knife-wielding men attack a train station in China

Mass murders with guns are a rarity in England.

We made recreational drugs illegal decades ago. We all know that it is now nearly impossible to get these drugs.

Why shouldn't we expect making guns illegal to have the same overwhelming success?

What I think Waun was trying to say is that his side believes that the people now infesting this country are all a bunch of murdering, bottom-feeding scumbags who cannot be trusted with firearms. Right Waun?

I am amazed by the incongruity of it all. We trust 18 year old soldiers to possess weapons of mass destruction that can incinerate an entire city but we won’t let them carry a handgun on a military base?

“Where we all become sitting ducks for the jihadis, mental cases, and gang lords, right Juan?”

Well that and the cops, SWAT and Federal agents.

Juan Williams needs to shut the hell up, OR he can try preaching his message in the nearest Ghetto. Let’s see if he makes it back to his car in one piece.

People like Juan Williams are too stupid to deserve air to breathe.
