Fox News’ Gretchen Carlson Doubles Down On AR-15 Ban
Breitbart.com ^ | 6-15-2016 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 06/15/2016 10:18:27 AM PDT by servo1969

Gretchen Carlson is renewing her push for an AR-15 ban, firing off a series of tweets further criticizing AR-15s and pointed to her daughter’s work with a Newtown charity. Breitbart News reported that Carlson said that AR-15s are not needed “to hunt or kill deer” and suggested they only serve to enable terrorists to carry out their attacks with greater efficiency. She quoted a December 2015 poll showing majority support for an “assault weapons” ban and said, “I’m with the majority today, taking a stand.”

When confronted by Second Amendment supporters on Twitter, Carlson doubled down on her pro-ban stance, sometimes conflating an AR-15 with the 30-round magazines that can be used in such a firearm.

"Breitbart News reported that Carlson said that AR-15s are not needed “to hunt or kill deer”

LOL. This shows how ignorant Carlson is about firearms. The reason AR-15s are not generally used to hunt or kill deer is that they are not powerful enough to do so humanely. The rifles used to "hunt or kill deer" by millions of hunters are MUCH more powerful and deadly than an AR-15. Usually either a .30 caliber rifle or a .12 gauge shotgun loaded with slugs - I'd rather be shot at by an AR-15 than either of those.

Didn’t know the otherwise lovely Mrs. Carlson was all for destroying the 2nd Amendment.


Showing her ancestral socialist control background....

Once again, let me say the recent article on virtue signaling was excellent and a must read for all FReepers.

The key is recognize it for what it is and then promptly made to pay for it and laughed at for trying to do it. Gretchen needs to be humiliated as a comic target for our humor and then lose her “journalism” job as no one can see her face without laughing for her pathetic attempt at virtue signaling.

Dear Gretchen,

I really thank you for the further support of my appraisal of ‘newspeople’.

What do I mean, Gretchen?

It is the air of fake celebrity.

It is the air that what you read to us from teleprompters, or evoke from those less-used inner recesses of that grey slime inside your cranium, is of vast importance to those that view your antics on the boob-tube.

I must remind you of one small fact.

Every television, ever made, has one button that you hate.

It is called the ‘off’ button.

My semi auto rifles are not to kill deer

At 700 rounds per minute you would shred them!

What a shame.

Feeling instead of thinking.

Using her logic, we’d have to outlaw homosexual clubs, too.

Think the homosexuals would go for that, Gretchen?

What do you expect from a blond from MN? She is trying to get attention because of her lack of ratings at FOX.

I always hear this one, and I always respond the same:

"Incorrect. Suppose there are a LOT of deer? Suppose they are all in lightly-armored vehicles?"

Spoken like a true sportsman. I commend you for your insight, as that’s what those of us who respect our quarry feel.

Exactly right.

The tired language of the gun banners assumes that we live in a pre-9/11 world.

Well, the metal detector deterred all the good guys with guns. All the bad guy had to do was shoot the metal detector operator and he was in.

Fox is in the tank for gun control.

They can feel their GOPe buddies getting a little bit closer to the lampposts each day.

She’s always been a ditz in my opinion. I can’t believe how many people assume that just because a person gets their mug on FOX News that they’re automatically a conservative. Most of these hair sprayed airheads are just as braindead liberal as their cohorts on MSNBC.
