Sharpton: “Outlaw Semi-Automatic Weapons”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/12/2017 6:46:35 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

One of the obstacles to rational discussion of guns in America is the profound ignorance about guns on the part of many pushing for tighter controls.

Take Al Sharpton on his MSNBC show this morning. Debating the subject with Liberty University Professor Daniel Howell in the context of the Sutherland Springs church massacre, Sharpton decried the availability of automatic and “semi-automatic weapons.” A bit later, Sharpton suggested that “we should outlaw automatic weapons, semi-automatic weapons.”

Sharpton wants to “outlaw” semi-automatic weapons.

Does he have any clue what a semi-automatic is?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Has he ever paid his back taxes or his lawsuit for the false accusations?

It’s not ignorance, though Sharpton is profoundly ignorant.

It’s purposeful.

Liberalism is not just gullibility but it swims in the sea of stupidity.

Lincoln wasn’t shot with a semi-auto weapon.

So Al. Think before you speak.

The man shouldn’t be allowed to be on the air. Somebody might hear him and,in their own ignorance,think he was speaking the truth.

Tell it to the families of the 89 killed at the Eagles of Death Metal concert in Paris, France back on November 13, 2015, Sharpy. Real effective “semi-automatic weapons” ban there.

“Sharpton: “Outlaw Semi-Automatic Weapons” “

In other words, outlaw modern firearms; first.

Then get the rest.

Not to mention, the rented Home Depot truck that was used to kill people on that bike path in NYC most likely had an automatic transmission. Semi-automatic shifters (e.g. VW “AutoStick”) pretty much went away in the 1970s. So that was a fully automatic weapon.

When Sharpton went through his weight loss program the first thing to go was his brain.
