Conan O’Brien: No One Should Be ‘Allowed’ To Own A Semiautomatic Rifle
Breitbart ^ | June 14, 2016 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 06/14/2016 1:47:03 PM PDT by Trump20162020

During the June 13 monologue on Conan, host Conan O’Brien referenced the Orlando terror attack and said no one should be able to own “a semiautomatic rifle.”

He described semiautomatic rifles as “weapons of war” that “have no place in civilian life.”

Conan and Fallon have no idea what a semi-automatic weapon is or what an AR-15 is. Their knowledge of firearms is zilch.

The rifle used by the Islamist terrorist in Orlando was not an AR-15.

Despite attempts by politicians and the media to claim that the common, kid-friendly AR-15 is a “weapon of war,” or “military-style,” actual military rifles have been banned from manufacture for civilian purchase for exactly 30 years.

The most common rifles, handguns, and shotguns are semi-automatic, or “self-loading” firearms. They fire one shot per trigger pull, and absolutely cannot be fired as machine guns.

Let me add; this isn’t going to just be an EO this is going to be an all out push for a new AWB out of Congress and we’re going to see a bunch of Jello-spined RINOs go along with it. 0douchebag and Hildebeast are going to try to get it done before the election IMO.

No, that is a revolver. A semi auto uses the force of the gunpowder to reload itself

This IS a semi auto:

Wife's brother got on this same "nobody needs one of those and nobody needs a gun that has 30 bullets."

Then I asked him, "You are in a house where if you made a 9-1-1 it would take police 20 minutes at least to get here. There are 5 people outside your front door who want to kill you and your wife. What weapon would you like to have at your disposal and how many rounds of ammo do you think you might need?"

Nobody should be allowed to broadcast images of a masturbating bear. I keep a firearm handy in case one breaks into my cabin.

Meanwhile, I bet this little talentless p*ick has plenty of armed security.

The AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle, is intended for the civilian market, Conan the moron.
