ABC’s The View led Friday’s show with news about the manhunt for the mass shooting suspect in Maine, but quickly turned to statements that have been made by elected officials. And then co-host Joy Behar turned to the greatest inspiration of some of those elected officials, who publicly disagreed with them — former President Ronald Reagan.
After showing a clip of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stating that mass shootings are a problem of “the human heart” and “not guns,” the audience booed before Behar went back to “Saint Ronald Reagan,” the former Republican president who remains one of the greatest idols for many modern-day Republicans. In a vintage C-Span clip from 1989, Reagan states the following:
I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen to own guns for sporting, for hunting and so forth, or for home defense. But I do believe that an AK-47 or a machine gun is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense of a home.
To which Behar replied: “They [Republicans] revere him. Why don’t they follow him?

These two Bishes revere abortion, why don’t they abort themselves retroactively.
Besides, if you listen to the clip, he says he doesn’t believe an AK-47 is a sporting weapon.. he did NOT say it’s not a self-defense weapon.
Machine guns are banned. Next question?
An AR15 ain’t an AK47!
No siree! ! Not at all!
Joy was almost 40.
Joy turned 81 just a few weeks ago.
I had no idea Joy was that old, but I never watch the show, I just see sound bite clips on the Fox News Evening shows.
Neither the AK nor the AR are the weapons that faced off against each other in Vietnam. The AK has gotten a lot more accurate with development and it tends to be more reliable with no care, which was kind of the point.
Remember, the AK wasn’t originally developed as a main service rifle. It was originally designed as a replacement for the PPSh and similar *submachine guns*.
It's when the term "Fudd" originated. Military-style firearms were much more of niche product back then.
Come and take em you demonic Marxists crones!
whites and blacks both spent an entire generation glorifying “gun violence”.....makin it seem so “cool” to grab ya AK or ya Glock. Then they get all upset when one of em goes “gangsta”. These rifles have been around for over 60 years, ...these school shootings etc just soared after 1995...theres a “culture” problem in America, not a “gun” problem.
i remember when the “Left” tried to make Glock pistols enemy number 1 when they first came out and got popular fast. ‘OH MY GOD, THEY ARE MADE OF PLASTIC, YOU CAN HIJACK PLANES NOWS”...blah blah blah. Just come out and say what they really want..which is to disarm every single person in this country...thats their ultimate wet dream...
My original statement still stands. The Second Amendment wasn’t written to allow “sporting” firearms. It was meant as a defense against a tyrannical government.
The View are, and always have been, massively retarded individuals.
The retarded ones are the ones who watch.
At least the broads on the show are making a lot of money from it.
Indeed. When I purchased my first firearm from a colleague in the 1980s (FFL licenses were much easier to obtain) I asked about an AR15 and he told me, "You NEVER want the police to find one of those in your house! They will think you are nuts!"
Colt still held the patents so they were more expensive (relatively) than they are now. (A gallon of gas was $1.15, a dozen eggs $0.79 cents and AR15s were $550.00.)
So it didn’t take long for the gun-grabbers to crawl out from under their post-Gaza rock
Correction they are EVIL Joy bwhar would gladly see you taking up space in a open mass gravealong with anyone who disagrees with their WOrld view!
Agree.
This is similar to the idiots this morning on WEEI Sports radio station in Boston calling the Maine shooters weapon an ASSAULT RIFLE.
They really do not know the difference.
This is because they were all born and raised in the Blue city environments.
It is a lack of knowledge. They think every AK rifle or AR rifle is a fully automatic machine gun. They do not even realize that a rifle like that is illegal for 99.9% of the public to own.
everyone has a right to be wrong... and reagan was wrong about that...
so is the view.
