Rosie Announces She Gives Up on Gun Control
Gun control advocate and "View" co-host Rosie O’Donnell announced on the April 17 edition of her show that she basically gives up on gun control. According to Rosie, there will "never be gun control in America" and fighting for it was a "futile attempt." Co-host Joy Behar asked if Rosie "throw(s) up" her "hand." Rosie replied poignantly "I sort of do." The transcript of the exchange is below.
ROSIE O’DONNELL: Well, and you know, since 1999, Columbine, what happened? All the mothers got together in America, we formed the "Million Mom March." We marched on Washington, estimates of almost two million mothers there. We protested. We picketed against the NRA, and for the government to make sensible gun legislation. And what has happened since then? Nothing. Nothing. I'm shocked that I'm numb about it. I'm shocked that, you know, Columbine, which took me out at the knees, literally where I thought I would never recover and went on anti-depressants, I thought– I don’t know how— I had a child like you do, I was your age with a baby, and the concept of sending them away to school from the nest of the dangers that lurk out there. But somehow this one, I'm almost numb to it. I think well, here we go again.
JOY BEHAR: Do you feel that it's worthless, it’s useless to protest or to make, raise your voice against gun control, for gun control?
O’DONNELL: I think there will never be gun control in America. And I think having tried to fight it for five years of my life it was a futile attempt.
BEHAR: You throw up your hands hun?
O’DONNELL: I sort of do.
Hehe, cut and run.
There's already too much "gun legislation" leaving too many innocent people at risk.
Columbine, which took me out at the knees, literally where I thought I would never recover and went on anti-depressants
Some people shouldn’t even own a television, much less be on it.
“gun control” = ban all guns according to Rosie.
There already is stringent gun control in America. Far more than necessary. Far more than allowed by the US Constitution. Most of it completely ineffective in “controlling” criminals, which is the stated goal.
Meanwhile she probably runs around with “armed” bodyguards.
All the mothers got together in America, we formed the “Million Mom March.”
False, Rosie......you masquerade as a mother (or is it father?, we’re not really sure)......when you’re really only an angry queer heifer.
Good, then please STFU.
F’n Rosie O’Donuts.
Now, if she give up on bladder and bowel control, I do not want to know about it!
Um, no we didn't, Rosie O'Gungrabber.
If guns kill people then spoons make Rosie O’Donnel fat.
She went on anti-depressants because of the Columbine shootings?
Rosie, Columbine was terrible, but people have been killing each other since the dawn of history. Were you blissfully unaware of this until the Columbine shootings?
Everyone knows SHE has a Bodyguard that has a GUN to protect her and her kids!!! typical Hypocrite!
I had to read that three times… the “cut” really, REALLY looked like it had an “n” in it. Must’ve just been me, given the subject.
Va Tech was a gun free zone and look what happened.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Ah, you've been reading about that little polar bear too much lately. BTW, it's spelled KNUT.
