Bill O'Reilly takes stunning stance on guns after Orlando massacre
Business Insider ^ | 06/14/2016 | Allan Smith

Bill O’Reilly stunned many viewers Tuesday night when he called for some measures of gun control to be implemented after the terrorist attack in Orlando, Florida, that claimed the lives at least 49 people — the deadliest mass shooting in US history. […]

“There is too much gun crime in the USA, and high-powered weaponry is too easy to get,” he said. “That’s the fact. So let’s deal with it. We all have the right to bear arms, but we don’t have the right to buy and maintain mortars. Even if you feel threatened by gangsters or a New World Order. No bazookas, no Sherman tanks, no hand grenades.”

“That’s because the Second Amendment clearly states the government has a right to regulate militias, made up of individuals,” he continued. “They have that right in the name of public safety. Therefore, Congress should debate what kind of weapons should be available for public sale. And the states, the individual states, should decide what kind of carry laws are good for their own people.” …

No, the Second Amendment does not say that, Baxter.

Bill O'Reilly and Barak Obama share the same initials: BO.

Coincidence?

Stunning? Not even. He’s always been an assclown. Not as pithy as he seems to think.

It’s not a stunning position for O’Reilly to take. He’s a control-freak.

You can tell when a leftist moron knows nothing about guns when he starts talking about hand grenades, Sherman tanks, A-bombs, etc. I’ve heard it plenty of times.

From what I’ve read, no mortars, bazookas, Sherman tanks, or hand grenades were used in the Orlando murders.

Also, from what I’ve read, the perp was not on any watch list—In fact, it appears he was known to, and had the blessing of, the Obama Administration.

Further, from what I’ve read, no gun control laws currently on the books, or under contemplation, would have stopped the Muzzie Democrat from getting a gun if he really wanted one.

O’Reilly, as usual, is full of shit.

He does mention later on that he knows nothing about guns. I concur.

No one can hold a Sherman tank in their arms.

Dear Ted: Jay Leno owns dozens of high-end cars that he doesn’t necessarily need.
Difference between them and arms?
Leno doesn’t have a right by natural law or a constitutional right to keep and drive them around.
Another mask drops, though this is one no real surprise.

Fox and Ted Baxter are a total joke.

I haven’t watched Fox news for years but is there anyone there, besides Hannity, that’s not a 2 time Obunghole voter?

But time out. I reject the media narrative as this takes Ted out of context. His complete set of Talking Points was addressing the notion that the Orlando massacre was about nothing but gun control. His response was, “hey, a debate on some level about the types of arms we want to allow is legitimate. Debate all day. At some point there are some weapons that aren’t allowed. Still, this is about way more than the usual gun control debate. We have a bigger problem.”

Shame on Ted for not realizing he would be used as a poster boy.

So according to him the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution is regulated by the government to keep the people in line.

Im pretty sure it is the other way around.

We have a barbaric moslem problem, not a gun problem.
