Greta Van Susteren Comes Out Fot Bullet Control
American Thinker ^ | October 16, 1948 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 10/16/2015 5:56:02 AM PDT by raptor22

It is not a novel idea -- the notion that the route to gun control is not by attacking the right to bear arms which the U.S. Supreme Court has declared to be both an individual and a national right, but to use that old standby, regulation, to dry up the supply of bullets. It was that idea that was endorsed by Fox News host Greta Van Susteren when she appeared on ABC’s “This Week”...

-- Bullet control could lead to requirements that knives not have sharp edges or points. --

That's next.

Brain injury or stroke? Reduction in cognitive skills is obvious.

Wow...so few recognize sarcasm nowadays.

I find her hard to look at look at, not just because of her dead eyes, but also because I know that behind those dead eyes, she is nothing more than another stinking liberal that thinks she is ordained by God to tell us poor minions how we should live our lives.

The obama administration are mass murderers. From Mexico to the USA to the Mid-East. They need to be controlled (jailed) and not bullets.

Just when 22LR and some 22MRF were coming back online.

I doubt the opinion of one airhead is going to impact things much...

Pretty face? Have you seen her.
The thing we need to address is rampant mental illness brought on by millions of people taking mind altering medications whose side effects include “may cause suicidal or homicidal thoughts”

You nailed it on all levels, almost. Her voice is as difficult to listen to as her face is to look at. Her monotone, un-modulated, medium/high pitch utterances are like nails on a chalkboard. I have zero idea how she got a broadcast job. That and she wears the dullest clothes I’ve ever seen on TV. She belongs on the BBC or behind the scenes as a content guru for the talking heads.

And I suspect her true nature is starting to bleed through, as they have with Schmegman Kelly. Perhaps she’s trying to make herself more marketable to the other lib networks.

I’d hope so, but it isn’t beyond the realm of possibility that a few “scared” people influenced by her comments spread that virus throughout those who want a readily available supply. 22LR has NEVER gotten back to the level of availability it was before Obama’s crap.

It is easier than that.

Note that she talks through her teeth.

Never ever have anything to do with a woman who talks through her teeth.

Don’t you recognize sarcasm when it stares at your pretty face?

The Ninth Circuit has already ruled that ammunition is covered by the Second Amendment. They (the most liberal Circuit) say that it is obvious and clear.

“The Second Amendment protects “arms,” “weapons,” and “firearms”; it does not explicitly protect ammunition. Nevertheless, without bullets, the right to bear arms would be meaningless. A regulation eliminating a person’s ability to obtain or use ammunition could thereby make it impossible to use firearms for their core purpose.” Cf. Heller, 554 U.S. at 630, 128 S.Ct. 2783 (holding that “the District’s requirement (as applied to respondent’s handgun) that firearms in the home be rendered and kept inoperable at all times ... makes it impossible for citizens to use them for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional”). Thus “the right to possess firearms for protection implies a corresponding right” to obtain the bullets necessary to use them.

I’m not so sure. She took some bad advice and got plastic surgery that made her eyes look funny.

I just use my .22 for plinking off pesky critters. Beau likes the Stingers for raccoon hunting.

I shoot the Aguila 22 primer-only 22LRs for plinking here in the basement in my S&W 617. The 617 is exact look and feel of the 357 Mag 686 I have.... makes good rainy day practice.

I couldn’t tell you all that Beau has, but I’ll tell ya one thing - I’m SAFE whenever he’s around, LOL!

And I can’t wait to learn to shoot each one. Except for his ‘hand cannon’ whatever THAT thing is. It’s a hand gun that he shoots bear with. I can’t hardly LIFT the thing; I guess I could bonk a bad guy on the head with it! ;)

Ha ha.... a good “hand cannon” is a S&W 500 or my favorite, a S&W 460 XVR!

That’s like suggesting a bow is a weapon without arrows.

Without bullets, a gun is a club.

“Arms” is the entire system.
