Bill-O should stick to topics he knows something about ... like abusing his wife and sex harassment!

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.” …

These people are so predictable...
The crowd says we can’t control and handle 18 million ILLEGALS, CRIME BREAKERS ALL but collecting 400 or so million guns is a walk in the park.
OF COURSE, if they are not the ones actually knocking on doors, it is easy.
And each door knocker that assumes room temp just solidifies their argument...
Shades of Ayn Rand....make enough laws and we can make EVERYONE a criminal
At 76 I have NEVER randomly shot anyone, sexually assaulted anyone etc...
SO when you propose taking MY GUN away from me will cut down on mass shootings or shootings in general,
Wouldn’t the natural line of thought be if you cut off my ‘tallywhacker’ there would be no more rapes?
Sure is cornfusing
Billy O is showing his age.
The few Sherman tanks not shredded for junk or rusted away are museum pieces.
And the Sherman wasn’t that great during WWII.
The guys who crewed them called them Purple Heart boxes.
The Germans called them Tommy cookers because they tended to explode and burn rather easily.
The only things good about them was they could be turned out in great quantities very easily and they were easy to repair.
But if someone wants to own an operable tank,and they can afford it, let’em go for it.
Same goes for an operable mg,mortar or other means of defending oneself.
Who the devil is Bill O to decide who can own what?

A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves, and render regular troops in a great measure unnecessary. …Now Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15 (the so-called Militia Clause) gives Congress (not the President, as the 1792 Militia Act did) the power “to provide for the calling forth of the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions”—opposed by the Anti-Federalists due to the threats to states’ rights. But that is independent of the injunction to never infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms, of course.
We can’t have hand grenades? Who knew? /s
I guess word has come down from the Saudi’s and the Murdoch’s. BOR and Gretchen are just following their marching orders.
Can’t wrap his little pea-brain around the “shall not be infringed” part or that every other of the Bill of Rights was about individual rights and restricting governmental power. No deep thinker, he.
The CDC says there are 32,000 deaths per year from guns. In that number, about 60% are suicides, 3% accidental, 4% justified homicide, 33% criminal homicide. Of the criminal homicide, 80% are gang-related. You are left with a total of 1712 deaths in a total population of 312 million people in the US. If you don’t hang in the hood, commit a crime, or plan on committing suicide, your chance of death by firearm = 0.000008564102564%
That just doesn’t sound like the US has a problem with guns. As ever, since Cain slew Abel with a rock, the problem is the wetware, not the hardware.

“He’s a control-freak.”
Biggest jerk on cable...still cannot understand why anybody would watch him.
Bring it on, gun-banners. I was hoping that the Revolution would be bloodless this time, but if you want the other kind, due to your Tyrannical impulses, we will indulge you.
Vote Trump!
Of course the security detail surrounding him and Fox News head quarters 24-7 shall be exempt.
Gee, I was hoping to get a Sherman tank for Father’s Day.
Whatever you say, Mr. O’Reilly.
As O’Reilly is a Vietnam War draft dodger, his comments about guns, bazookas, mortars, and tanks are typical of such people.
The problem that I have with Orieilly is that many patriots still seem to be fooled by him.
BOR is big government type who actually thinks government is supposed to look our for individuals.
It isn’t
If the government was trying to keep him from talking because his audience was “like a bazooka, or a bomb” he’d be yelling bloody murder.
The Bill of Rights was intended to keep the government out of the individual’s way and THAT is the BOR to pay attention to.
KYPD
Uhm, no.
The IRA built improvised mortar guns out of steel pipes, which fired propane cylinders modified to contain nitrate explosives.
Oh, did we mention the BITTER LITTLE WEENIE in the White House?
no surprise.... he has been leaning leftwards for years.
