CNN host S.E. Cupp made an emotional plea for gun control legislation in the open to her show Saturday, saying “we must do something about guns.”

“For years I’ve made the case for the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms, I’ve defended the NRA and its members, law abiding gun owners like me who have nothing to do with gun shootings. I’m a gun owner and a gun rights advocate. I believed it was true. I’m no longer an NRA member,” Cupp said.

“Being right no longer feels righteous because in the wake of more mass shootings, agents of senseless violence that send innocent people running for their lives, leaving children orphaned and loved ones dead on the ground. We must do something about guns. We have a problem in this country and that problem is hate,” she continued.....

....

“What happiness are we protecting if our kids are scared to go to school? What liberty are we protecting if we’re scared to walk down the street? What are we protecting if we arm a white supremacist so he can shoot up a Walmart?” Cupp continued.

Now we must do something. But nobody does anything while blacks are currently slaughtering each other in major metropolitan cities.

I don't understand why our side doesn't point this out. Someone in the Trump administration or GOP need to start cutting videos about how the Bloods and Crips and other gangsters are using banned automatic weapons to mow each other and innocents down. People need to start talking about this utter and gross hypocrisy here, when there's a mass shooting, we have to move Heaven and earth to push an agenda that is really nothing more than baby steps towards an ultimate end-goal at disarming law-abiding, mostly white Americans, so that globalists can move in for the kill and claim their Holy Grail by finally destroying the United States.

Until someone brings up this juxtaposition, then there's no debate here. My position on guns is non-negotiable, and I will refuse to surrender my arms regardless of whatever legislation is passed, treaty is ratified, or order is decreed from whoever seizes power.

We can’t punish all Moslems when a Moslem murders innocent people, but must punish all gun-owners when a gun-owner murders innocent people.

How else are we going to be able to disarm the peasants so we can start shoving them into the cattle cars?

“we must do something about guns.”

Repeal the 1986 "Hughes Amendment".

Repeal the 1968 "Gun Control Act".

Repeal the 1934 "National Firearms Act".

Tar and feather ANYONE who proposes to ban or restrict citizens' ability to keep and bear guns, gun accessories, gun parts, ammunition, or ammunition components.

The Dems need a scapegoat for their own failed criminal justice policies.

We MUST do something even if it doesn’t do anything so we can say we tried. Pretty sure the ‘cupp’ runeth over with extreme stoopidness. “Dear assclowns. Please articulate (that means ‘splain) to us how any further infringements will stop people, no, not the guns, from committing violent acts. Sincerely, people with a brain.” Dumbassery on display. Again.

That we must do something about guns to stop mass shootings, is an emotional position, but mass murder would continue, even if all guns were banned.

A man the other day got a knife and killed 4 people , and inured 2 should we now have knife laws since this was a mass stabbing? No laws will stop someone who is intent on killing others.
Democrats are using the deaths to further their shameful ant-gun agenda

obama said he was going to fundamentally transform this country... and he tried.

Respect has been replaced with hate.
Maxine said to get in their faces...
the language from the left is without control
They find nothing wrong with taking action against anyone they disagree with.
Life has been devalued.. abortions turned into murder at birth.
And hollywood was set to release a movie where the good people are hunted down and killed.
And this woman wants something done... take the guns.. she thinks that will fix this?

For me, a man and his wife became the President and First Lady... both were anti America. Both spread it.. It was here before them, but they put a rush on what we see today. They set the races apart more than ever.. anger out in society was lit.. waiting to explode and it seemed to do just that... he gave his permission to carry it out.

Like someone else said if there’s a sealed record for
certain violent juvenile behavior that should still keep
someone from personally getting a gun legally.

Still won’t completely stop someone from getting one though

I’m no longer an NRA member,” Cupp said.

Or apparently, a thinking, reasoning individual either.

Basically took away guns in Australia and home invasions went up, folks unable to defend themselves - and - if the home invader was hurt/injured/killed then the home owner to blame. Looks like libs want the same thing here.

Yes, we need Constitutional Carry because there is no way to prevent the existence of bad people.
