Revolt TV interviewed former U.S. Attorney, former Massachusetts governor and current Libertarian vice presidential candidate William Weld. Chief Political Correspondent Amrit Singh asked Weld about his views on guns. Specifically, whether or not people on the government’s secret, unaccountable Terrorist Watch List should be able to purchase “assault rifles.” […]
“The five shot rifle, that’s a standard military rifle; the problem is if you attach a clip to it so it can fire more shells and if you remove the pin so that it becomes an automatic weapon, and those are independent criminal offenses. That is when they become, essentially a weapon of mass destruction. The problem with handguns probably is even worse than the problem of the AR15.” […]As governor of Massachusetts when the gun control laws mentioned were implemented, Mr. Weld should know that MA doesn’t ban “clips.” It bans ammunition magazines — commonly called “magazines.”
Mr. Weld should know that Massachusetts’ magazine capacity law contains no provision regarding a magazine’s insertion into a rifle. Simple possession is illegal. …

I was messing around with stripper clips...until my wife found out.
Too funny!
RE: “I was messing around with stripper clips...until my wife found out.”
The stupidity of libs is only exceeded by their ignorance.
Johnson/Weld was about the least libertarian ticket the Libertarian Party could have nominated.
Lets compare how many people,dead from guns since 1973 and how many dead from abortion since 1973. Lets compare sacraments.
At least ours didnt have to be invented out of nothing as a constitutional guaranteed protected right.
My God, how have we lasted this long ? !
An anti gun libertarian has got to be the dumbest thing I have heard about in a while.
These clowns are not Libertarians. They also just came out as pro TPP too. Is Sharia Law Libertarian too Weld?
“The problem with handguns is probably even worse ...”
He’s right you know.
Handguns with the flux capacitor option will equal phased plasma weapons up to the 40 watt range in firepower.
I’m guessing he’s never been in the military.
“These clowns are not Libertarians”
That is my point.
you took the words out of my mouth.
This is good news for Trump. In my opinion.
How effective is it in trimming nose hairs at 50 yards, though?
When I take the pin out of my AR-15 it does not become fully automatic, it does not fire. My AR does not have a clip, it has a magazine. This man is an idiot and only parrots phrases he has heard. The phrases are lies.
ps
The last I heard the standard magazine not clip in a military rifle "m4" is 30 rounds and is not a clip,
Weld had a “Vulcan Mind Meld,” unfortunately it was with a liberal idiot.
Don’t forget it “fire(s) more shells” with the “clip” attached. Gotta watch out for those ballistic mollusks.
I told mine it was a magazine, "Scientific America," and all was well.
No, POLITICIANS are weapons of mass destruction (and corruption).
