....the OBriens and Rosie ODonnells all have armed guards - it’s us, the little people who are supposed to be barenaked and helpless.

Yeah, little people like all those first-graders.

Soledad, how come you and Rosie and Oprah and Diane Sawyer and Katie and Gayle soak up all the armed-bodyguard talent and leave those poor kids to fend for themselves, and their principals and teachers to go up against the madman alone and defenseless?

[lentulusgracchus]

Soledad O’Brien is as dumb as a bag of dog crap. The proverbial box of rocks has some nominal value .....

So I guess the bag of hammers is priced out of the mix, too.

Pretty much the way it is but I would up your 15% to 25% and these idiots do show up to vote! And we pay for their indolent lifestyle...Not all of them but at least half

....she just sputters, “how does that possibly make sense to you?” Instead of presenting the legitimate arguments in favor of some forms of gun control, and fact-based criticisms of Lott’s thesis, O’Brien is too busy telling him she’s “boggled.”

It doesn't take much to boggle O'Brien. The shootings in Newtown seem to have driven CNN personalities 'round the bend. See this Morgan fit here:

Piers Morgan

I would be delighted to see a serious IQ test done on Soledad....and I would like to see the results published.

She has to be the ‘affirmative action Hispanic hire’ at her network. There are drug addled (street drugs) kids in East Los Angeles who are brighter than she is.

[ridesthemiles]

IIRC, there are a total of 7 CCW permits in San Francisco. Diane Feinstein, her husband and their bodyguards have at least 3—possible 4 of those permits.

A freat example of the elite VS the little people.

[ridesthemiles]

We have thousands of military people coming back from the Middle East.

They face poor employment prospects right now.

Perhaps this is an employment opportunity for them? They are already trained.

[ridesthemiles]

Morgan was raised in England, where no one is allowed to have guns.

I think he came here just before the huge influx of Muslims, and has no idea how much his homeland has changed.

He is entitled to his own opinion.

He is NOT entitled to his own facts.

Soledad belongs in a bondage outfit, hooked up to a car battery.

News to me. And news, I think, to many thousands of Southern hunters who've gone for whitetails with .223-cal. Mini-14's and CAR-15's for the last 30 years.

It's considered a medium powered cartridge, not a high powered one like say a .30-06 or 7.62 mm NATO.

What states can you use a 223 for deer?

Some state by state answers, it's not comprehensive.

[neverdem]

Morgan is a twitt.

[Impy]

I’ve thinking a vat of oil and she should have to wrestle Sarah Silverman and Katey Sagal.

[GOPsterinMA]

I can go for that.

They call it an AR 15 not 16 because it is almost, but not quite, an assault rifle.
