Chris Matthews: 'Outlaw' Semi-Automatic Guns
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/18/2012 5:18:18 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

I'm in New England this week, and this afternoon caught Ann Coulter on the Howie Carr show. She spoke of the amazing ignorance of liberals when it comes to firearms. Just a couple of hours later, Chris Matthews provided a perfect case in point.

On this evening's Hardball, speaking with Illinois Dem Senator Dick Durbin, Matthews proposed that Congress "outlaw" semi-automatic weapons. Does he not realize that doing so would render illegal virtually every hunting rifle in production? View the video here.

O Riley is back on it again with Stossel who has trouble with the definition of a semi-automatic.

OR replies,
“the FBI would define”. “How can Connecticut say they have tough gun laws when one can buy an AR-15 “.

“They are selling more of these guns than ever. I do not feel I need a n AR-15. If the govt takes over, your AR will not do you any good, they will just take it from you!””

hard to watch. I lived in Killeen Texas for four years. I have an ex that still does. She says her uncle was the cop that finally engaged Hennard... after he murdered 23 people and wounded another 20. You know what they say, When seconds matter, the police are only a few minutes away.

“...and Krauthammer agreed.”

That surprised and disappointed me.

It’s kind of hard to argue with irrational lunatics. Particularly ones who are just looking for the first excuse to rant about guns.

Bill doesn’t have a need for anything. He is part of the protected class. Bill O’Reilly is bullshit 101.

I can assure Mr. O’Reilly that there are plenty of AR-15 type rifles in the hands of criminals and felons, and that they are not going to register them with the FBI.

Now you can understand how the idiocy of Prohibition got started...with washerwomen like Chris Matthews.

I wish he would take a course in statistics and learn that it is more dangerous for a child to have a home with a swimming pool than with a gun. Should we ban pools? Why does someone need a pool? You can certainly live without it. Take a damn shower instead and let the children live.

The odds are still better of getting struck by lightning then be shot at school. They don’t understand statistics - they are completely at the mercy of their childlike emotions. Yet they want to change the Constitution and take away rights - and still not guarantee safety.

I scoffed out loud when I heard Oreally say the AR-15 was a heavy weapon. Even my wife knows more than that and she doesn’t know anything about weapons of any kind.

Does he not realize that doing so would render illegal virtually every hunting rifle in production?

1. He doesn't know because he has $#!^ for brains.

2. He doesn't care because he's an America and Constitution hating Commie F#%k.

3. It's not about hunting, it's not even about resisting a tyrannical Gubbmint (cause I'm not gonna spend close to $1k for a semi-auto look alike when I can blow up a bridge/convoy/train/etc and get a crapload of the real McCoy should the time come).....

It's about the F'n CONSTITUTION!
