Whoopi Goldberg tells NRA that AR-15s have ‘got to go’

I’ll just keep an AR-10, then - that’s five less than an AR-15, so it should be safer. :)

Gawd, don't get me started. How many times have I had "discussions" with acquaintances on FB who argue that the AR15 is an especially powerful rifle that shouldn't be in civilian hands. Even after linking to articles about what an "intermediate cartridge" is, they still think that the AR15 is some sort of miniaturized howitzer.

So yes, if the AR15 is too powerful, then I'll settle for the less powerful .308 AR10.

Ok. All ARs now identify simply as a rifle.

If I did own AR’s they would have fallen in the Tn River

You aren’t getting any of my yeehaw guns

No one at the NRA convo even watches her so who is she talking to. Hyperbole for the audience.

I would tell the authorities that my AR-15 identifies itself as a bread maker. End of story.

[Rappini]

I used mine for hunting Deer, she’s on something.

The Uvalde shooter very closely fits the pattern (sex, age, personal issues we know about at the present time) identified in the Violence Project (https://www.theviolenceproject.org/mass-shooter-database-3/key-findings/) for mass SCHOOL shootings except for his weapons which are identified as “assault rifles” (so called assault rifles are used in somewhere between 20 and 30 percent of mass shootings. The vast majority are perpetrated with handguns).

Did that racist, fake Jew-named actress say "yeehaw guns"?

...AR15 is an especially powerful rifle that shouldn’t be in civilian hands...

But a Springfield 1903 or an M1 is ok then.

I read a story on what the USMC was able to do with 1903’s in France in WW1. 1,000 yard shots. Germans never knew what hit them.

"You’ve got to give that gun up."

That's not going to happen. She smoked too much dope and believes herself to be omnipotent.

There are over 20 million modern sporting rifles (AR-15 and variants) in common use by now.

America has 20 million AR-15 style rifles in circulation, and more guns than people in the country

NSSF RELEASES MOST RECENT FIREARM PRODUCTION FIGURES

The U.S.A. has far lower murder rates than third world holes without human rights like those affirmed with our Second Amendment. Very few of the murders in the U.S.A. are committed with semi-automatic rifles. There are more than 332 million people in the United States.

Nearly 108,000 people died of drug overdoses in 2021. Get off the drugs, and leave our Second Amendment rights alone.

When are these politicos going to get it through their head that an AR-15 is a "style"...and just another rifle.

Or am I wrong??

[dfwgator]

"You’ve got to give that gun up."

Of course black people won't. They have to defend themselves against those evil white supremacists, so they can keep their guns.

[VideoPaul]

Dumb actors who never even finished high school have got to go, in my opinion.

Perhaps she would like to see the video of my then 14 year old daughter demonstrating range safety and shooting accuracy with my genuine Colt AR-15?

“You can have your other yeehaw guns, whatever you want.”

We can all thank notable Constitutional scholar Professor Goldberg for reminding us of the “yeehaw gun” clause of the 2nd Amendment.

[mass55th]

She thinks the NRA makes AR-15’s?

[backwoods-engineer]

“Got to go”? Well, come and get them then! We take all comers. She’ll hate all those .224” diameter holes she receives, though. Leaky.

[real saxophonist]

It's funny that Whoopi Goldberg still thinks the NRA is relevent.

And I say that as a Life Member.
