CBS Co-Host Hints at Gun Control: ‘What Do Lawmakers Need to Do to Finally Turn This Corner?’

Schieffer’s poignant words that many Americans relate to were quickly dispatched as he bemoaned the “powerful weapons of war” and how police in general “are shooting first and asking questions later”:

People are dissatisfied, they are frustrated, and they act out on these things and when you put those who are deranged into the mix, and they have access to these very powerful weapons of war, it just makes the stakes even higher. There's no excuse for some of the police shootings that we have been seeing. Police are shooting first and asking questions later. But on the other hand, you have to remember that the police are scared too of these weapons.

Well, the law makers need to move to Cuba or Venezuela!

We will not tolerate that here!

As long as there is ONE human living within the CONUS, under any creed, skin tone, or other axiom, with the desire, intent, or to devise an action to harm any American, I shall not disarm, for that individual may attempt to harm ME, and I will not let that happen.

Schieffer has a LOT to answer for when he gets on the other side.

Looks like an SKS. Comes with a 10 round non-detachable magazine. At leas the ones I’m seen do.

Ah ha. Tricked you too huh. It's an AR camouflaged to make you think it's an SKS. Bet you couldn't tell that was a 30 rd "clip". 😂

Gun confiscation would be a very bloody proposition in the USA.
It’s a stupid liberal pipe dream.

I see Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams are at the top of that list. Given all the encounters they had with tyranny personally I would say they would be very good reason to want to have the 2nd Amendment.

Well, if they start by getting all of their democrat voters and supporters to turn in their weapons, violent crime would drop 90% overnight. So go ahead and start with that then get back to us.

DemocRats use guns to kill people. Republicans use guns for recreation and to protect themselves against DemocRats.

If it cost $1000 per illegal alien to deport them, it would still be less than a tenth of what they cost the country every year in taxes alone.

We’re on a slippery-slope. Millennials are now embracing socialism. Give it a generation and those left will hand over their guns without a fight. If you have any influence on the next generation, educated them about what the future can be waiting for them if they should fall asleep. Those that want them under their control will not be sleeping...

Millenials’ national anthem: “Royals” by Lorde.

So, high unemployment within a demographic means embracing of socialism? Free stuff that somebody else pays for, that kind of socialism?

There may be civil war within the millenial ranks. Lots of them serve in our military. And don’t get me wrong but I am usually skeptical of the slippery slope argument. It implies inevitability, the unstoppable wave of history, Hegelian dialectic, & ultimately Marxism. The will of the individual is irrelevant and subsumed within the masses.

Video of any rock concert will seem to bear this out.

But it’s hard for me to believe that a majority of the people will simply cease thinking for themselves. And....nobody, regardless of ideology, likes being directed to surrender personal property, especially when told,

“You can’t have those things, citizen. You must give them to the state.”

There’s an automatic gag reflex that kicks in with the normal mind when confronted with such a demand as that.

I’m hopeful. And google that 1918 Bolshevik poster telling the masses to turn in their weapons.

Idiots.

If you are dead set on shooting cops, you will get an illegal weapon.
