Fox News’ Gretchen Carlson Doubles Down On AR-15 Ban
Breitbart.com ^ | 6-15-2016 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 06/15/2016 10:18:27 AM PDT by servo1969

Gretchen Carlson is renewing her push for an AR-15 ban, firing off a series of tweets further criticizing AR-15s and pointed to her daughter’s work with a Newtown charity. Breitbart News reported that Carlson said that AR-15s are not needed “to hunt or kill deer” and suggested they only serve to enable terrorists to carry out their attacks with greater efficiency. She quoted a December 2015 poll showing majority support for an “assault weapons” ban and said, “I’m with the majority today, taking a stand.”

When confronted by Second Amendment supporters on Twitter, Carlson doubled down on her pro-ban stance, sometimes conflating an AR-15 with the 30-round magazines that can be used in such a firearm.

I have a 12 gauge shotgun for hunting deer. (Southern zone/half of NY using rifles for deer hunting not allowed) I also use it for home defense.

I have a Russian SKS with fixed bayonet (so called assault weapon). I have this gun for target practice and if I ever need to take my country back.

"...How does she explain the scarcity of mass shootings in that era..."


Wasn't life here in the United States so beautiful when Muslims were still an ocean away?
That is far and away the biggest source of terror concerns.
Dealing and managing to criminal threats was pretty easy 30+ years ago because typical street-crime did not have the random component of radicalized Islamic jihadist attack behavior.

I just can’t understand the lack of logic that leftist gun grabbers have. Why can’t they see that gun laws only make it harder for LAW ABIDING citizens to get guns. What do gun law violation laws mean to murderers?

“I was going to commit a large scale mass murder at a gay club, but I just found out there is a law against me possessing guns. I guess I better not commit that large scale mass murder.”

Idiotic I know. Yet, there you go Gretchen.

If it comes to it, I will surrender my ammunition, one round at a time. When the ammunition is all gone, I will then surrender my weapon, if there is anyone left to surrender it to.

Gretchen Carlson, and everyone else calling for gun bans in the face of muslim terror are genocidal maniacs.

Americans don't care what they think or say. They have chosen to side with the sub-human savages.

The ‘700 rounds’ part is a quote from the liberal idiot Alan Grayson. Folks around here have been poking fun at him the last couple of days since he made the idiotic utterance.

“Yes its ergonomics make it more effective...but is it orders of magnitude more effective?”

You asked what makes it more effective than a rifle available 100 years ago, so that’s what I answered. Is it orders of magnitude more effective than commonly available rifles 100 years ago? It might very well be based almost entirely on magazine capacity and reliability. I believe that consititutional intent was for civilian arms to mirror the advances in military arms available for use by the typical infantryman. It makes no sense for it to mean otherwise based on it’s purpose. The SC court essentially said that in the US v Miller decision.

Somebody tell the bimbo that the Second Amendment is about preserving the ability of citizens to hunt and kill agents of a government turned tyrannical. It ain’t about Bambi. Somebody get her to a remedial history class.

So they want a ban on scary looking guns, even though there are semiautomatic shotguns, and every handgun is semiautomatic except single shot derringers.

The image of the cheap commie hooker Gretchen Carlson busting down my door to take away my rifle conflicts me:

Do I sell her off to jihadist animals or dump her in Michael Moore’s lap?
