"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.
For example, a Twitter user named Greg tweeted to remind Carlson that our Founding Fathers did not write the Second Amendment so we could hunt. Greg wrote: “2nd amendment was not written to protect deer hunting Gretchen.”
Carlson responded: “It also wasn’t written to blow away people with 30 rounds.”

“Fox News’ Gretchen Carlson Doubles Down On AR-15 Ban”
Yeah, I can’t say I’m unhappy she’s gone. I didn’t like her stance on AR’s after Orlando. The DirecTV guide still shows her show with her name on it, but she’s been replaced with “The Boob Monster” (aka Kimberly Guilfoyle).
This is all too suspicious to me.
She knew her contract was expiring and negotiations were NOT taking place.
So, she spouts off about gun control and files a sexual harassment suit...
I think she’s vying for a CNN position.
