Fox News Suggests Gun Owners Should Kill Cops
Part of the right-wing argument against gun sanity hinges on the idea that gun owners will be justified in killing cops if gun laws change.
JUAN WILLIAMS (CO-HOST): He said it, right there — “You know what? If you have a gun that’s made for the battlefield, you shouldn’t have it in your home,” and he explained his position. I think that’s — not only you saw the response from the audience, Dana, the other people on stage all said Beto, you did a great job.
JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): So, you think that people going door to door, taking legally purchased weapons is a good idea?
WILLIAMS: No, no, no. I think — look, that’s fear mongering, talking about “Oh, you gotta go door to door” —
WATTERS: — Because that’s actually going to cause more violence.
…
WATTERS: This is going to cost more lives than mass shootings would cost.
WILLIAMS: No, come on —
WATTERS: You’re kidding me? You are going to go to people and say, “Hey, hand it over, give it the hell to me?”
So…Gun sanity will result in dead cops, so we must keep the laws as they are. While Chris Coons doesn’t like ruffling the feathers of gun radical snowflakes, Beto did a great job getting these bloodthirsty motherfuckers on the record.
The sentiment I’ve heard , since the push to ban “assault weapons”, is that cops would be reluctant in the idea of physically removing firearms from previously law abiding citizens.
Whoever would want this would probably have to form some sort of task force of the willing to accomplish the deed. I think this could cause some issues that actually would destabilize “the peace”.
I think Beto was just pandering and grandstanding in this last debate when he said..”Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47″. I believe he would moderate his position if he were to become the nominee. Only last year he said…“If you own a gun, keep that gun. Nobody wants to take it away from you — at least I don’t want to do that.”
The sentiment you’ve heard is the babbling of paranoid morons. Know how I know they’re paranoid morons? They have guns.
I agree that there are some gun nuts, and yes, they may be paranoid.
Of course they are. Why have a gun if you aren’t worried you might need it?
Worrying about how conservatives will react to things is a very common affliction. Take an aspirin and get some rest.
Let’s start with a ban on the sale and manufacture of assault weapons.
