CNN Reporter: Banning Guns Would Impress Euros
Newsbusted ^ | 10-13-08 | CNN

Posted on 10/14/2008 5:26:10 PM PDT by Bertram3

On the October 13 CNN "Newsroom" program, European political editor Robin Oakley pontificated to Sens. McCain and Obama on how the U.S. can be more liked by people in Europe:

"While we're on the symbolism, let me remind you how many Europeans see U.S. voters -- as a trigger-happy bunch with a Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other.... Does either of you senators have any serious plans to reduce the number of guns available in the U.S. or even dare to suggest it? That really would impress the Europeans, that you stand for change."

Banning Guns Would Impress Euros>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Having more Euros travel to Nevada for shooting courses and range experience would impress them even more. They come to Nevada in droves to do it, as it is now!Near Vegas.

The ultimate shooters vacation, here in America.WHAT FUN!!!

A similar thing happened in 1992-3 and there was a backlash in 1994. This time around, sadly, I think the backlash will be too little, too late—which will embolden the Leftists even more.

You're presuming that we'll even be allowed to have a backlash in 2010.

Regarding the Europeons: if they don't like our guns, they are invited to stay home. And if this idjit reporter thinks that imposing gun control will impress the latte-lovers in Paris, wait until they see what a bunch of armed, freedom-loving Americans will do to a tyrannical government.

considering most europeans just don’t understand the vastness of our country, the wilderness, the wild animals, have any of them even seen a bear? a rattle snake? Do they understand that some people live so far from a police station that to self defend is necessary to their survival!

Until they make even the smallest effort to research this country and its needs they can SIT DOWN AND STFU!!!

Where do they find these human vacum tubes?
Does she not know about our Constitution?
Most Europeans don’t know about it, but she is (I think) American.

Bite me Europe. And my guns.

You know what makes them madder than anything? Us uncivilized folk don’t give a rats behind about what they think. That irritates them more than anything at all.

I would have to say it would be time to get it on against the government if that is what gets pulled. Take the offensive and take their life if they want to take our liberty....and take their guns.

I would imagine there would be blood in the street if guns were going to be confiscated.

Hey Robin, kiss my ever loving -—. I am so glad my parents brought me to this country where I did not have to grow up to be an effete (effeminate) snob like you. BTW, just how well is GB doing as a third rate nation?? Oh yeah, not so swell. Keep your nose in your own trough you elitist schmuck. OK, now I feel much better, thanks all for letting my spout.

Banning guns would impress Hitler and Himmler.

I agree with you there is the potential for the backlash, however, I disagree with you on it being too little too late. We homeschool our children and two of them are in college now dealing with liberal professors daily and giving it right back to them. My two oldest are girls whoare avid personal responsibility, right-to-life, gun rights advocates and are carrying the torch of conservatism including reducing the size and intrusion of government in our lives. There are four more following behind them.
Remember, after Carter came Reagan. I believe we’re on the verge of the same awakening...unfortunately, it may be as a result of an Obama presidency, Dem controlled Congress and a stacked Supreme Court.
