O'Reilly on Oregon Shooting: "People Around The World Must Wonder What Is Really Going On"
RCP Video ^ | 10-2-2015 | RCP transcript

Posted on 10/02/2015 7:40:24 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

BILL O'REILLY: Now this is another black mark for all Americans, as people around the world must wonder what is really going on in the land of the free.

And it is our freedom that allows insane individuals to kill so many people.

Guns are legal in America under the Second Amendment.

Tonight President Obama delivered impassioned anti-gun remarks, which we will discuss later.

But the mass murder today could not have been prevented by any legislation in my opinion.

(snip)

The country itself takes a massive hit whenever this kind of thing happens.

Thirty-two people killed at Virginia Tech, 27 slain at Sandy Hook, 13 murdered at Fort Hood, 13 dead in Binghamton, New York, 12 murdered in Aurora, Colorado ... the same number at the Navy Yard in Washington.

Charleston, South Carolina just last June, nine shot dead in a church.

There is no rational explanation for all the carnage, none. And no public policy will stop it.

We are living in a dangerous time where deranged human beings feel murder is an entitlement.

But the situation has now reached the crisis stage, as America desperately searches for some kind of solution.

When you pit groups of people against other groups of people sooner rather than later nut cases will arise in the different groups that will try to make names for themselves.

Excellent observation. And as you noted, it's all on Obama.

Common denominators of mass shootings since 2008:

Anti-gun Communist president in office
George Soros funding anti-gun groups
MSM oversensationalism of all shootings
NWO establishment occuring in real-time

Let me get this straight - a bunch of Christians in a “gun-free zone” are murdered by a killer raised on a diet of anti-Christian bigotry by the schools and media... and the response is to call for disarmament of Christians in the rest of the country? Because that’s effectively what they want. Why not just openly call for genocide against Christians because, you know, they deserve it for not being “enlightened”?

When the Chechnian terrorists took over the school in Russia the Russians ended up storming the school and killing every terrorist. Then they went after their family and friend ring of supporters to kill them. That makes the next terrorist wannabee think twice. On the other hand, the Tsarniev family was treated like victims as we paid for them to fly to the US for the trial etc. Total garbage.

How many mass shootings go on in Israel even though they are surrounded by Islamo-Nazi psychopaths? I can barely think of any

Yep. And I demand that someone post one of pictures of Israeli women at the beach carrying assault rifles. Because those were mighty fine, err, rifles.

He’s bothered because he is partly responsible and knows it.

We are in a vile feedback loop of death-attention-death.

To break the loop, all we can do is not give the attention.

That has proven to be exceedingly difficult.

We can also remove the urge to kill, but that is even more difficult.

See Syria, Honduras, Mexico, Chicago, New York. All of these foreign places have mass shootings.

The first question I would have would be if the killer obtained his guns legally. And assuming the answer is "no" then the second question would be what good would more laws do if he'd only break them as well?

If there is a failure in this, and there likely is, then it's in the way we identify people like this and direct them to treatment. And not on how we obtain guns.

Agreed, there can never be any guarantees. Obama is making this ulta political knowing full well nothing can ever 'PREVENT" THIS SORT OF THING. It's like saying we want to prevent auto accidents, can't be done. We can however reduce these shootings on campuses by allowing armed officers on the campus and even armed employees as well as armed licensed students. We also MUST address our nation's culture in dealing with the mentally ill and how to better help them.

The government is out of control and guns are in the hands of citizens also for when government has jumped the shark.

I think as government gets bigger these home incidents get more frequent, especially under our President who was raised a Muslim.

Obama, and the Democratic Party. They actually started the fracturing of Americans into different groups, so they could play to their fears and or wants, before Obama was even a name on the radar.

Thanks. Beyond the obvious eye candy, there is a lesson to be learned from that picture. That is surely one safe beach.
