He must be vacillating because I know I heard him say that the looting in NO during Katrina made him completely change his mind about the right to bear arms. How soon he forgets.
I didn’t even have to read the article - I’m sure that Bill O’statist wants to disarm people during a state of emergency. Well, guess what - I will be very well armed and I will defend myself, my neighbors, and my property against all comers.
What if the government decided to take away our 1st amendment rights during an ‘Emergency’?
Does BORe realize that those confiscations were deemed unconstitutional later on?
So it it BORe’s contention that Adhering to the Constitution is a “pretty extreme position.” ?
Who makes the decision on what constitutes an emergency, could Economic Chaos be considered an emergency?
IMHO he vacillates from idiot blowhard to mindless narcissist in the blink of an eye.
I watched that interview. BOR did not do his homework and was anticipating an interview with a raving tinfoil militia type. He simply was not prepared for a valid debate. His guest was calm, cool, armed with completely valid points, and Bill looked foolish.
How many libs, who advocate gun control have admitted of been caught with either weapons or armed private security? I would bet that Bill would fall into that group.
BOR probably thinks the word ‘inalienable’ has something to do with extra-terrestrials.
My father was actually deputized, along with other civilians, during some trouble in Texas many, many years ago. That was a time when our local officials actually trusted average citizens. Now we have the elitists, both in the media & in our local civil offices, who don’t trust us, who think we need to be managed & taken care of. What a change in this country within about 80 years!
This is not the first time Bill O’Reilly has been dead wrong, i remember being pissed off at him during Katrina for saying it was a federal government screw up, when the United States federal government has no legal roll in a Natural Disaster.
The show is and always has been run by the State and local government. The Feds are forbidden to interfere for good reason, to prevent centralized dictatorship!
You know the same kind of dictatorship that leaves no other free States to go and restore the republic, in the dictatorial State and thus making the assuming of such power an insane move by any state or local leader that might try it?
Yea thats not true if the president who has control over all the conservancy and responsible party’s does it.
Thats why you don’t let the president or the federal government in general have anything approaching that kind of authority and power... and THAT is why the Feds have no roll in the emergency management of Natural Disaster.
Insolently the Louisiana State Constitution PROHIBITS the government from disarming its citizenships under ANY circumstance!
Section 11:
Ҥ11. Right to Keep and Bear Arms
Section 11. The right of each citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged, but this provision shall not prevent the passage of laws to prohibit the carrying of weapons concealed on the person.

New Mexico has exactly the same wording in its Constitution.
This is not a 2nd Amendment issue, as the 2nd amendment does not apply to the States, this is a State Constitutional issues. In-following unlawful orders the law-enforcement officers were BREAKING THE LAW, and violating their oaths!
Those officers should be disciplined, if not fired, this is a very serous issue! It is simply not acceptable to do and ask for forgiveness particularly in a time of emergency.
The people NEEDED their guns to defend themselves, and if the worse had indeed happed the people who declared marshal law never gave up that emergency powers, they would need them guns even more! Particularly if those people were the Federal leaders and thus there were no other free states to help your State restore its republican from of government.
I’m sorry but there is just no way this ends good, and a Natural Disaster is the absolute WORSE time to disarm the people! Particularly in regard to the maintenance of a free state.
I guess they can then suspend other rights too, you moron O’Reilly, like the one about quartering troops in your home, or the one about illegal search and seizure?
O’Reilly has been an anti ever since I can remember. On this point, he is very consistent. I stopped watching his show in the 1990s because of it.
