Bill Bennett on "Face the Nation" saying we need to get rid of "assault weapons"

Posted on 12/16/2012 8:31:12 AM PST by Red in Blue PA

Cannot believe what I am hearing? What happened to the Conservative person I used to know. Absoluley disgusting.

You don’t stop the amoral by disarming the moral.

How many “assault weapons” did this guy use? Let’s not count the rifle in the car that never made it into the school.

I can't find a definitive source regarding the Bushmaster. There seem to be several people in the webisphere who swear they watched video of police taking the rifle out of the trunk of the car, but I can't seem to locate said video.

If it exists then it needs to be downloaded and disseminated because they are also saying that the kids were shot with .223 and if that's the case the someone has some 'splaining to do.

How did Lanza shoot his victims, then himself, and then return the gun to the trunk of his car?

I don’t think guns are his primary issue; in his mind there are more important problems that have to be dealt with.

He pretty much agreed with Dianne Feinstein who was sitting next to him.

He is a degenerate gambler. He is also a big government control freak. He has no credibility with me.

Yup..yup..yup....he has his own vested interests...He is absolutely out of touch on a lot and often very apologetic for the Libs.

Why is it so hard to believe him saying this? He was the drug Czar back in the Bush I administration and was the driving force behind the executive order which banned importation of ‘assault weapons’.

This is not a leopard changing his spots or anything.

Bennett along with Jack Kemp and Jeb Bush was out here in California railing against and rebuking California Republican, et al. for passing Prop 187 (to deny all but the most essential taxpayer-paid health services to ILLEGAL aliens).

Republicans had to be more sensitive.. OK they became ersatz Democrats and since then (~ 15 years) they've won I think three statewide elections including two by SchwarzenKennedy.

BTW.. at the time of passing Prop 187 (1994) a Republican was elected governor and Republicans elected a majority in the Assembly for the first time in decades.

Well then, I stand corrected. So much for giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I thought that Bennett was an historian? I thought he was brighter than this.

I guess this means the squishy moderate RINOs will all be running for the tall grass now.

“Secretary of Education and Drug Czar”

Shouldn’t both of those positions be a red flag for true “Conservatives”? Did he try to close down both of those when he was in charge? Or did they grow under his direction? Or are those positions O.K. when we are in control of them???

I am starting to think that “Conservatives” are just Liberals with different issues they want to control and push down Individual’s throats.

How about a party that would do everything in it’s power to protect me from “Experts” and “Know It Alls” and just let me live my life and LEAVE ME THE F*** ALONE!!!

This guy is a known Republican whore from way back.

I keep his self-serving book on my shelf, upside down, just as a way of quietly saying FU to him from the privacy of my home.

What’s so surprising about that???

He’s just another Progressive(R) masquerading as a Conservative.

The media bobbleheads don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. A while back I saw one on FOX knowingly announce that semi automatic weapons can’t be used for hunting.

Bill Bennett, former Education Secretary, is still trying to remain relevant in the world of so-called conservatism.

He used to have a morning coffee Klatch that was about as irrelevant to conservatism, RINOism or anything Republican as a wart on my arse. They took that off the mainstream air here in Atlanta; and, I suspect ‘they’ did this in a whole lot of markets around the country.

It is not up to him, his momma, Connecticut, the Democrat Party, OR the Republican Party to give away my right to bear arms (no mention of arms type, e.g., assault rifle is given in the 2nd Amendment, nor is there a specific purpose needed, i.e., hunting).

If they want to take them away, then get Three Quarters of the States in this increasingly irrelevant Union and enact an Amendment to repeal the 2nd Amendment. Otherwise, be prepared for a shitstorm if you try to take them without it.

“Too many folks are being led by their emotions, not their intellects.”

That’s what the polidiots count on. Feelings, not facts. And of course, with our culture becoming nothing more than an extended adolescence, it works. Show them the sizzle and they’ll buy the steak.
