He hates America
He reminds me of a sleeper Russian agent from the cold war.
Republicans need to go into these interviews with full expectation that they will, at some point, have to say, “Your incivility is poisoning this discussion. It’s people in the media like you that make rational discussion impossible.”
That’s okay. Nobody saw it............
I heard somewhere that O’Donnell’s show has already been cancelled.
By law Larry, you blithering idiot, Loughner should never have had a gun, much less a magazine. The premise stinks from the get go.
Yes, it would have been better if Loughner’s magazine only held 10 rpunds. And it would have been even better if Loughner’s magazine only held 4 rounds. Or as the Congressman pointed out, if Loughner did not have a firearm at all. Where do these hypotheticals contrary to actual facts take us?
The 94 Assault Weapons Ban banned the new manufature and import of magazines over 10 rounds. It did not ban possession of hi-cap mags already in the marketplace or any that were made prior to 94.
The 94 AWB would have done nothing to stop Loughner from getting a hi-cap mag.
I can think of no laws that would stop a criminal or lunatic. Gun control laws are primarily directed at law abaiding citizens.
Representative Franks had the right answer. What a stupid dumb ass question. I’ll tell you I am so freakin sick of these people.
His hypothetical is ridiculous on its face. So it is more acceptable if only 10 people were shot? 6 out of 10 dead. What an ass.
What is the matter with these people?
Just ask O’Donnell if he would be calling for an end to “large capacity aircraft” if Loughner had flown a jet aircraft into a high rise and killed thousands.
So... it's OK if he fires 10 bullets into a crowd, but not 31?
If these kooks would follow the law, then maybe we should have a law against shooting people?
Oh, wait...
Demanding that one answer a hypothetical is not logical, in the classical sense of the word. If you go into “what if” land in this case, then you must allow that more people could be packing, Loughner would have known that, and wouldn’t have been inclined to do the crime in the first place. That’s a very simple example for a rebuttal — but I say again that the whole exchange would be just two guys pretending his guess is the better one.
Why do Republicans bother going on that channel? Honestly; the Dims wouldn’t let Fox host a debate. Republicans should stay away from the lunacy of MSLSD.
Larry, Larry -- you need to read about the "Law of Unintended Consequences"!
The AWB limit on over 10-round newly-manufactured magazines (there were literally tons of pre-ban high capacity magazines around) directly lead to the resurgence of interest in larger caliber autoloaders, like the .45 ACP and lead to today's popularity of the .357 Sig and .40 S&W.
Would Congresswoman Giffords be better off today if she had suffered a head wound from a .45 ACP or .357 Sig round? I think the answer should be obvious, Larry.
I had a liberal ask me the exact same ‘hypothetical question’ the other day. He said it would have been better if he only had 9 bullets instead of 31. I responded, ‘that’s not a big comfort for the first 9 people who get shot’. My point being that it was a liberally-inspired PC environment that refused to deal with a man that had a clearly defined record of mental instability who should have never even gotten to that rally in the first place. I said, ‘go ahead, reduce the magazine capacity, then the next time we have a mentally unstable man shoot up a group of people with a gun fitted with a ‘diminished-capacity federally sanctioned magazine’, we’ll be right back here again arguing.
I don’t have time to go into it, but I watched the whole thing. You should really watch the video - you’ll see lib logic at its best. OD really does it when he press O’Malley on the 31 shot clip vs. a 10 round clip...so many hypotheticals...when OM comes back with his hypothetical, OD goes nuts. Really. Listen to this guy and learn what you’re up against.
As I understand it, the first shot went into Giffords’ head. 10 shot clip, 30 shot clip or NO clip (one in the chamber), it wouldn't have helped her one bit.
