Soledad O’Brien is the very epitome of a “progressive” airhead.

That was not a report, it was an opinion of the reporter with no information on her side and facts directly opposite to her feelings.

Simply pitiful.

Spread this video far and wide 0 it’ll scare the bejeebers out of the lib s and the politicians who don’t realize it.

These numbers are just for the hunters who’ve applied for hunters licences! Imagine how many more gun owners are out there! (Warms the cockles of me heart.)

This may be why the regime has been timid to take on gun owners directly, especially before the election - ahahah How ya gonn take that many guna away from a free poople?

At the very end she states “I just completely do not understand it”...that about sums up Soledud nO’Brain on pretty much any issue.

it is actually not “high powered,” it’s too weak to safely kill a deer.

Oh! Stop it!...Does anyone know the theory of why .223 M-16 replaced 7.62 (long round) M-14 in Viet Nam??

Harvard has a 98% graduation rate.

At the rates they charge there is no compelling reason to flunk anyone!

Lott needs to argue that if the teachers or staff was allowed to be armed, the killer could have been stop. Current laws do not allow teachers or staff to have guns on gun free zone schools.
Arguing that an AR-15 is no different from a hunting rifle (technically correct) is a PR disaster because the uninformed do not know that. Lott should point out that the US cannot ban semi autos because it is the best gun to have in self defense (bad economy and fear of crime would understand that). Second he should point out that guns are used 160,000 times annually to thwart off crime which can potentially resulted in rape, death or serious injuries to an unarmed victim. Crazy people, criminals and terrorists will get the semi auto no matter what the laws are. Banning these guns from law abiding armed citizens will endanger their ability to defend themselves against better armed attackers. There is no perfect law to prevent that crazies from getting guns absolutely. Current laws stop most of the unlawful buying of guns, but a few will get thru. When that happens how will liberals deal with that. Gun bans will make it worst for the law abiding citizen, but allowing law abiding citizens to be armed makes better sense. In summary, these types of killers in the first place want to commit suicide and take out as many people in the process to get headlines. Notice they never try this at bars frequent by bikers or off duty cops.
Finally the problem is not institutionalizing mentally violent people who are incapable of taking meds on time. They wander the streets causing violence on the rest of society until they snap and commit murder/mayhem. The US does not need more gun control, they need mental people control.

I’ll raise you your “airhead” and call her a liberal dip-$hit. She’s amazing to listen to, there’s nothing that will change her opinion and she’s happy to let everyone know how righteous she is. CNN’s got a real bimbo on their hands. Simply remarkable. There, that’s my opinion.

I really don’t want to give anyone any ideas, BUT, it sure is surprising that MSDNC, CNN etal do not have a trespass order against the likes of someone such as John Lott.

He is not one of these airheads that all of a sudden ‘pops up’ to be a ‘specialist’ on the issue de jour but is well, read, schooled, knows what he is talking about, and knows how to express himself and hold the idiots at bay etc etc.

How they can put their ‘featherweights’ up against him is really surprising....

Shows just how smart those idiots are....

OK, Soledad. Sure. Let's have a discussion about guns...

Yeah, Lanza had roughly 660 seconds from the time he entered the school to when he killed himself. It’s difficult to imagine any gun made in the past 100 years that wouldn’t have allowed him to kill 28 defenseless people in all that time.

Man, that is painful to watch. O'Brien contorts her face into bizarre grimaces as she desperately tries to not understand what Lott says. She cuts him off, won't let him get a word in, ignores his points, and reveals her own deep ignorance about guns and gun control. She appears unaware that she is doing any of that.

Of course, she is convinced that she is Lott's moral superior and that his profound expertise should be ignored.

All together now, let's sing the liberals' theme song:

FEELINGS...
GUSHING FORTH WITH FEELINGS...

I’ll second that. She is just an amazing woman. And I mean that, of course, in a very negative way.

I would not have been so kind. I would have told her that obviously her mind is boggled since she wants to disarm even more American citizens and make them helpless before violent criminals.
