“They’re not buying it to go out and hunt deer. You don’t need an AK-47 or an AR-15 to hunt deer. They’re buying it do bad things and we need to recognize that and address it.”
Democratic New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said certain types of firearms like the AR-15 are the kind of guns that should be banned. She added that people trying to purchase the weapon — which is popular among American gun owners — are “buying it do bad things.”
“Well, I think people need to have their voices heard, and what I’ve heard from people in New Hampshire is they think there’s reasonable legislation that we can pass including things like looking at the types of weapons that so easy for people to get,” the New Hampshire Democrat said on Mitchell in the Morning on Monday.
“The fact is, the AR-15, the gun that (Omar) Mateen used, that’s a weapon of war; it’s advertised as being able do technologically advances in killing people that previous weapons have been unable to do and somebody who is buying that kind of a weapon isn’t buying it for target shooting,” she said. “They’re not buying it to go out and hunt deer. You don’t need an AK-47 or an AR-15 to hunt deer. They’re buying it to do bad things and we need to recognize that and address it.”
The National Shooting Sports Foundation says there are anywhere between 5 million to 10 million AR-15 rifles in the United States, according to CNBC. The gun used in the Olrando shooting was not an AR-15, but a Sig Sauer MCX rifle, a similar appearing rifle.
Here’s the full interview

“Hey MF, a mom with at least one kid should have the same firepower as the scum coming at her and her child.”
God made man, but Sam Colt made them equal.
It would seem to be that equality that offends her so.
“...Are these people on the left really THAT stupid or are they just following party lines????...”
Once I thought about my question I figured I’d answer it myself...
Yes they ARE that stupid....Otherwise they would not be liberal socialists....
Yea, smooth bore muskets were. The British infantry were mostly armed with them.
Our frontiersmen, farmers etc., were mostly armed with rifles. The assault rifles of the day.
And the Brits came to confiscate them.
They lost.
“That’s only so they can finance their musical careers as aspiring rappers...have some compassion”
No one possessed of compassion would commit rap.
THAT is a lie....there are 5-10 million ARs in the Ozark Mountains ;)
There is no Bill of Needs, or Wants.
With 10 to 30 million AR, AK, and M14 civilian rifles out there, this country would be a bullet pocked wasteland if what this nitwit said was even vaguely true.
If I was going to buy an AR-47 or an AK-15
it would only be to do good with it, like kill
communists or traitors to the Constitution.
Ok, maybe smarmy grifters if they were really deserving.
Always has been.
Lol.
Who are the police, local SWAT, and the federal LEOs at war with then, Jeanne?
Just in case we need to overthrown a corrupt National government who tramples on the Constitution and preys on the citizens of this once great Country.
Who are the police at war with?
I was referring to mrsmith having compassion, not the aforementioned aspiring rappers, with compassion in this case being defined as all head or heart lung group hits, thus saving society from both mayhem and horrible rhymes.
“in all states that I know of you need a .25 caliber or larger”.
Not true. I’ve killed dozens of deer legally with .22 rifle rounds. They have to be center Fire, not rim fire rounds.
22-250 Savage 99 is one of my favorites, but my first year Ruger mini-14 was what I took my first deer with. It shoots .223/5.56mm.
People become Democrat Senators to do bad things.
No, they’re buying them because THIS IS THE GOVERNMENT ABOUT WHICH THE FOUNDERS WARNED US AND IT’S PERFECTLY WILLING TO DO BAD THINGS TO US ONCE WE’RE DISARMED!
WHICH IS PRECISELY WHY WE NEVER WILL ALLOW IT!
Back in the early 80s, I attended a speech by the late Arkady Shevchenko, then the highest-ranking Soviet official to defect to the West. He had been their top guy at the UN.
He spoke, interestingly, at KENNESAW COLLEGE — and we all know what Kennesaw is famous for! I’m proud to have played a small role in helping Mayor Darvin Purdy get that legislation through the Kennesaw City Council.
Shevchenko’s talk dealt with the clear intent of the leadership of the old Soviet Union to somehow take America. He mentioned their ICBMs and the nuclear blackmail threat they posed.
Then he broke from his prepared remarks and offered the audience this wisdom:
“The leaders of my country are as AFRAID OF YOUR 200 MILLION PRIVATE FIREARMS as they are of your ICBMs. NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS.”
Frankly — and, while he had to be careful as he was under FBI protection at the time, Shevchenko alluded to this in his remarks — I’m as concerned about some domestic tyrant (say, a Hillary, Nancy Pelosi, Barack HUSSEIN Obama or Chuck Schumer) as I am about some foreign enemy.
And it is THAT threat about which the Founding Fathers were concerned that prompted them to leave us the Second Amendment.
The BIG question is: WILL WE KEEP IT?
