Sorry for the vanity. Just O'Reilly going off again.

[Tarantulas]

Isn't he supposed to be a conservative?

[demsux]

He's a blow hard...

"I believe in the Second Amendment"

If the dork believed in what the 2nd Amendment stood for, He would now exactly why the people who founded this country put in the USC

[1066AD]

the big guns, you're out on the fringe
CMT had a program that showed a clip of a party at Hank Williams Jr's place, they were firing a Civil War era cannon LOL

[demlosers]

Not gonna happen Billy boy because there is no political will to reinstate the AWB. The Rats still remember what happened to them in 1994. HAHA...

Say hello to the sunset -- Bill.

[Morgan's Raider]

The segment was a rerun from a month or so back. Larry Pratt missed a good opportunity to educate BO that the "assault weapons" in question are not assault weapons at all, but semi-automatic civilian knock-offs of military type weapons which were banned simply because of their looks.

Larry might have also pointed out that, at the time the Second Amendment was ratified, private citizens owned cannon and, indeed, warships, the most powerful weapons of their day.

[jonascord]

It's OK. I would still like to hear his explanation of just what constitutes an "assault weapon". A Henry rifle would qualify, no doubt. 13 rounds, ex-military issue...

[PattonReincarnated]

I wish the media, O'Reilly included, would stop abusing the American language with vague, politically correct terms like "assult rifle". As if a pre-ban AR-15 is really any more dangerous than a post-ban AR-15. Personally, I'll choose my unplugged 11-87 anyday than a so-called assult rifle. My 11-87 is great for close-in work, and you can keep pulling the trigger until the wall board is blown away so you don't have to clean up the blood.

"...when you get into the assault weapons, the big guns, you're out on the fringe."

BIG guns? My one-shot 300 WinMag is bigger than the .223 the DC snipers were using. Does that mean I'm on the fringe, and they are mainstream?

[Stew Padasso]

Stopped listening to this clown long ago. He and all the other gun grabbing liars can GTH.

[kcar]

I saw that too and gagged - immediately went to the Bang list to check for posts. What a Federalist windbag he is! He also made a comment about nobody voting on gun issues. Tell that to the Gore-2000 team who worked in TN or WV.

[Aarchaeus]

This looks odd. I always thought he had common sense.

[bethelgrad]

I'm not much of a gun enthusiast and have only been to one machine gun show in Louisville, KY. I never felt safer than around thousands of gun owners who new what they were doing.

These guys who want the big guns have to register them and prove they are law abiding. They also have to be able to present them whenever the feds want to see them. Doesn't seem like a fair trade off to me, but these guys just love there guns. And I've never heard of one instance where they were misused in any way.

Now I've heard of plenty of cases where criminals who weren't even legally allowed to own guns (mostly smaller calibur)using them criminally. Seems like Oreilly wants to continue punishing law abiding citizens.

FoxFan ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

I think that the founders wanted citizens to be able to arm themselves to the same degree that a government could arm itself with weapons that could be used against you, the citizen. (Note: That would not include nuclear missles.)

[Lancey Howard]

O'Reilly: "I believe in the Second Amendment, that includes rifles and handguns, so that people can protect their families..."

"Protecting their families" was not the reason for the second amendment. The second amendment is there so that citizens can overthrow a government that gets out of control and tyrannical. That is why the second amendment is there. Anybody can look it up.

O'Reilly is clueless.

[Saundra Duffy]

I'm not going to bother getting all excited about the O'Reilly Factor anymore. He's boring. And I'm sure as heck not going to listen to his radio program anymore. Sheeeeeeesh! He's on some kind of an ego trip. He's against capital punishment, too. Doesn't make any sense.

[Mr. Mojo]

O'Reilly probably thinks the AWB is all about banning fully-automatic rifles -- machine guns. I've spoken to many people about this ban, and even the politically knowledgable ones believe that this is in fact what the AWB is all about.....by a large majority.

[Lazamataz]

I hate Bill O'WrongAboutMostEverything.
