Typical Lib "I for the life of me cant understand your point" or "It boggles the mind your idea" or something absurd like that is what libs use to argue their point when they have no facts - which is normally the case.

Mr. Lott should have countered with something like -"I stated the facts plainly and you refuse to accept them or have some sort of comprehension problem. Its as plain as the smug on your face."

But O’Brien, in a telling way, is literally incapable of putting forth these arguments. The media’s ignorance about guns and inability to comprehend that gun control may be ineffective has been on vivid display in recent days; it wasn’t long until O’Brien joined the fray.

Unfortunately, this doesn't matter. The uninformed 15% swing voter watching DWS and American Idol will OK anything that Obamaclaus does because they like him.

They aren't paying attention to anything that remotely affects them except for Honey Boo Boo's crass show and the Kardasian/Jenner divorce.

She is right to a degree -

A 5.56 semi auto rifle with a large magazine is nearly ideal for such a massacre because it is more likely to hit more targets with a single magazine. Automatic weapons would waste much more ammo to hit the same number of targets and require more ammo and more frequent magazine changes.

Its better than a pistol for that purpose as it would be more accurate, and also because of greater magazine capacity.

And a 5.56 rifle with light recoil will permit faster aimed fire than a more powerful rifle, as well as having higher capacity magazines, and lower overall weight and bulk.

On the other hand, the same qualities make it an excellent individual guerrilla weapon and nearly ideal with respect to the true political purpose of the Second Amendment, which is to facilitate a revolt.

Hey SoO’Dumb,

I think there’s a reason it’s called the “Bill of Rights” and not the “Bill of Want/Needs”

Kinda ironic since our government funds ‘rebels’ in far away islamic countries with the same weapons (and some even scarier) than the ones they’re trying to take from legal owners here. And don’t get me started on Holder and “Fast & Furious” gun-running to mexican drug gangs. How many kids has that killed? (not to mention 2 of our Border Patrol agents)
Are we going to ban the feds from evil black rifles?

Why does anyone need a 4th Amendment or right to privacy? IF you’re not doing anything wrong, why should anyone have a problem with the feds reading all your emails and listening to your cell calls?

How about we limit letters or call to Congress? or letters to the editor? Why do you NEED to call ,write, or post here? It could offend someone or drive a crazy person ‘over the edge’ .

A few ‘reasonable’ restrictions may be in order on the 1st Amendment. I think one quill pen per person is plenty.

O’Brien’s emotional outburst revealed something: her line of reasoning only makes sense if she wants a full ban. Confiscation, “buy back”, with severe penalties for non-compliance. Like Australia did.

Even Obama doesn’t go that far. He knows that would lead to an open revolt; he just wants to use this as an opportunity to make incremental “progress”, with hopes that in 20 years, semiautomatic rifles will be as rare then as automatics are now.

I prefer O’Brien’s timeline. I’m still young enough to participate in the fight if we decide to have it now. In twenty years, probably not so much.

the AR-15 actually uses smaller bullets and is less powerful than single-shot hunting rifles, because it is based off an automatic military rifle that fires smaller rounds in order to reduce recoil

Military rifles are designed to wound - a wounded soldier will normally be aided by one or more compatriots, taking at least two enemies out of action rather than just one.

That is the original point of the smaller caliber, the lower power, and the steel jacket on the round.

Soledad O’Brien is as dumb as a bag of dog crap.

The proverbial box of rocks has some nominal value as aggregate in concrete, or as weapons.

There is zero use for dog crap. It doesn’t even make good fertilizer.

[Article] The “assault weapon” used in Newtown, however, as in Colorado, was actually not a legal deer rifle because it is actually not “high powered,” it’s too weak to safely kill a deer.

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.

....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:

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