Bill O'Reilly takes stunning stance on guns after Orlando massacre
Business Insider ^ | 06/14/2016 | Allan Smith

Bill O’Reilly stunned many viewers Tuesday night when he called for some measures of gun control to be implemented after the terrorist attack in Orlando, Florida, that claimed the lives at least 49 people — the deadliest mass shooting in US history. […]

“There is too much gun crime in the USA, and high-powered weaponry is too easy to get,” he said. “That’s the fact. So let’s deal with it. We all have the right to bear arms, but we don’t have the right to buy and maintain mortars. Even if you feel threatened by gangsters or a New World Order. No bazookas, no Sherman tanks, no hand grenades.”

“That’s because the Second Amendment clearly states the government has a right to regulate militias, made up of individuals,” he continued. “They have that right in the name of public safety. Therefore, Congress should debate what kind of weapons should be available for public sale. And the states, the individual states, should decide what kind of carry laws are good for their own people.” …

The bloviator himself got "orders from headquarters."

Make no mistake.. they don't pay O'Reilly all that money without having SOME control over what he says in terms of influencing the public.

By the way... we DON'T need MORE LEGISLATION. WE simply need existing legislation ENFORCED.

A pretentious schmuck who writes, so called, “history”.
Reflect on his ‘Killing Jesus’ a moment.
Which has a greater insight into Christ???
* the Apostles, who walked w/Him and wrote the Gospels or
* Bill O’Bullshit, Fox’s leading windbag.

O’Reilly and Gretchen Carlson pimping gun control. Sounds like the Marxists are in the saddle at Faux News.

Regulated as to the militia meant well trained, integrated and co-ordinated. Essentially an effective fighting force.

I heard that Bill O’Reilly once called for an end to the sale of bazookas on the Internet in the aftermath of a “mass” shooting.

Where on the Internet can you purchase bazookas?

That was right after Newtown if memory serves. He was lamenting the ability of anyone to purchase "heavy weapons" like RPGs at gun shows.

Ever since then I've been wanting to go to NY to check out the really cool stuff at their gun shows. Unfortunately they don't have CC reciprocity with AZ. :(

Mr. O’Reilly, you attack Americans after islam attacks Americans.

You are an opportunist, and you are with the enemy.

To Hell with you.

Bill likes to abuse women. He was sued by at least one. He does not want women to have guns because he might be shot!

Bill O’Reilly and Barak Obama share the same initials: BO.

Same testicles, too, it appears.

“5. Have you accessed terrorism promoting website webpages on more than five occasions in the past year?”

Turn in your firearms.

You have accessed Free Republic and as such are considered a terrorist according to DHS.

The safest places to be are at an NRA convention or a gun show. More guns more safe.

More lives are snuffed out by abortions than guns in the hands of lawful licensed gun owners.

I am not speaking here of the daily minority carnage in liberal run places with tough gun laws like Chicago.

More gun laws in Chicago didn’t slow murders. Sick People, lawless people kill people.

Liberal policies Kill people.

This is not stunning. Ted Baxter has voiced this view several times over the past few years. He’s a NY moderate posing as a conservative. My guess is in 2008 he voted for Obama.

He clearly does not understand the word “regulated” as used in the second amendment.

He must figure it makes women like him.

He talked of ‘powerful’ and ‘heavy’ weapons. To describe the gun used? Phooot!! True ignorance on parade. Pajama Bill.
