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.

Didn’t know the otherwise lovely Mrs. Carlson was all for destroying the 2nd Amendment.

Sad.

A guy I go to church with was recently showing off his AR-15 to me. Because I'm not a gun nut, it really didn't leave a big impression on me. It never occurred to me that the only reason someone would have an AR-15 is to carry out terrorist attacks with great efficiency. I need to call the sheriff and report this guy.

I wish, just once, a gun grabber would articulate exactly what it is about an AR-15 that differentiates it as ‘easier to kill people with’, when compared to a common semi-auto pistol, or a hunting rifle ordered out of a Sears catalog 100 years ago.

They're not for hunting or killing deer. They're for stopping criminals and tyrants.

Unfortunately, Gretchen has now joined the ranks of those who persuade us to completely ignore Fox News; excepting, that is for the 5.

Juan Williams completely embarrasses himself in every episode.

My semi auto rifles are not to kill deer. They are to kill attacker in my home. I don’t give a crap about killing deer but I care deeply about my life and my families life particularly with this obvious religious war going on !!

Actually they serve to enable Americans to resist terrorist attacks with greater effectiveness.

Conservatives had better get active on Twitter and Facebook fighting this stuff. It’s where they’re winning their battles.

Obama had over 100,000,000 firearm sales registered through the FBI background check system. I think this dingbat wants to start a civil war.

What’s she going to say when a terrorist in a car mows down 20 people walking down the street?
