Assault Weapon Ban?

Okay this subject has the NRA a bit twitchy….and the Right is slobbering all over themselves…..and damn the talking points!

Many have been calling for this ban for some time…..I for one….I own guns and if someone needs a 30 round assault weapon for protection then may I suggest you buy a shotgun because you are a terrible shot…..

Sorry I digress….meanwhile back to the assault weapon ban thingy……(at least for now and we know how quickly minds change in DC)…….

A most unlikely person has come out on the side of the ban…..

You know the issue of gun control has hit peak outrage when even the denizens of disaster over at Fox News are calling for stricter measures.

Bill O’Reilly joined his colleague Gretchen Carlson in speaking out against the easy availability of assault weapons in the wake of the Orlando massacre.

That’s right Irene….you heard it on FOX News…..

Now I sit back and wait to see what Conserv has the balls to call out O’Reilly……

Will there be a person of principle?  Or will this one one of those times where he gets a pass because he will eventually come to his senses and recant?

True to my word…this will be my final post on the incident in Orlando…..unless something really horrendous happens…….hear that?  That is me moving on!

Thoughts?

  1. I agree. I’ve always said – If you need an automatic assault weapon to hit something, you are not peeing in my bathroom!!
    They are military grade weaponry and should remain as such.

    1. If someone feels the need to shoot such a weapon then I suggest that they enlist…the military will allow them to shoot them all they want….

      5. No……he was not….he had mental health issues…the North is a lot poorer than the South….has been for years…no government has addressed the problem …a lot of Labour voters are voting Out….they are not following the party line..Corbyn used to be a eurosceptic…wot changed?

      6. Seems that he had some ties from what I have just read….though nothing seems confirmed….unusual that it happened at all in this country…very…press are having a field day…

  4. I don’t want to ban all guns but I’d like to make it even harder to register to get them AND I agree with you; why does a private individual need an automatic assault weapon, as you said chuq…you need to shoot one of those..join the military. ~~dru~~
