It's been nearly a week since the deadly shootings in Colorado and the choruses of gun control are more catchy and widespread than ever. Even so-called lovers of the Second Amendment are demanding crack downs.

Bill O'Reilly, to use his words, is a pinhead. Literally every point he made in this interview (re: interrogation) of Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz was dead wrong.
The gunman didn't purchase 60,000 rounds of ammunition, he had 6,000. But, the number doesn't really matter. He could have had 6,000,000 rounds of ammunition and that won't change the laws of physics and gravity that restrict how much of that ammo he can carry. In the Army, we have billions of rounds of ammunition but we generally only carry approximately 210 rounds (a basic load) on us because that's all we have room for.
I'd like Mr. O'Reallyignorant to cite even one example of who is purchasing mortars and "howitzers." In case you have no idea what a Howitzer is, this is what The Factor's host is saying that people can purchase basically willy-nilly:
I don't know about you, but these are a staple in every Texas driveway. Of course, maybe I'm being too overly dramatic and O'Reilly was really talking about THESE Howitzers.
Yeah, that's more like it. At least these you could tow with your Dodge Ram pickup truck (with HEMI!).
Dumbo then goes on to ramble and bully the Congressman with his extreme wit(lessness) about automatic and semi-automatic guns. He even deigns to ask the Chaffetz if he's ever been to a gun show where these things can be purchased on the open market without any paperwork what-so-ever. I don't know where Bill goes to gunshows, but when I purchase guns at gun shows (my favorite place to get the best deals), I ALWAYS have to fill out the FBI background form that includes the weapon I'm purchasing and the serial number. And NO ONE sells automatic weapons there. You can't get them at gun shows.
I'm not going to piecemeal every ignorant comment by O'ReallyStupid. Each time he opened his mouth he spouts idiocy in this clip.
Bill would fit in well with the conspiracy nuts, though. I've read everything from stories about James Holmes being a puppet of the CIA to an Obama lapdog using a false flag operation to further gun control agendas. Then there's this little gem of a video.

The user that uploaded the video uses cleverly edited video in an attempt to deceive the audience into thinking that the entire length of the footage is dedicated to the Colorado shooting. Notice at the :40 second mark that the footage is edited so that the viewer can't see the footer of the interview that identifies the station and individual being interviewed.

Bret Baier’s show is the best news on TV bar none.
That is the only program I miss.
Still, I can find news analysis online.
FR for one.
I am certain that many of the heavy weights use FR, and other conservative sites, as a source for their programs.
Both left and right.
Oh yeah, and Red Eye. Then again if I am up at 3am I usually listen to Red Eye Radio with Eric Harley and Garry McNamara
It’s hard to decide which loofa man knows less about; the Constitution, economics, or history. It is a sad commentary on our society that anyone takes him seriously.
O’Reilley’s ignorance on guns is even more blatant than his ignorance in every other area. He doesn’t even realize how sutpid he looks when he starts yelling about “howitzers” and “bazookas”. I seriously doubt he even knows what either one is.
There’s a reason why the joke about taking the “blacks and the chinese,” “but NO Irish! “ worked in Blazing Saddles.
It’s Irish like BOR who make that joke work.
