On his radio show today he admitted that there should no longer be a debate regarding the right to have arms. He said after what went on in New Orleans that only the people with guns had any chance of defending their property. He went on to say that he has never previously owned a gun but will now purchase 1. Don't know if he will bring it up on the t.v show tonight but that's 1 more for the good guys IMO! ;)
 
But I bet you a buck that he'll still be against "assault weapons". He wasn't really "anti-gun" but he was (is still?) anti-"Assault Weapons" big time.

I'm glad he's seeing the light, but dadgum! It should not have taken Katrina and New Orleans to shine the light in his eyes!
 
Now this is a surprise, but its not uncommon for talking heads and politicos to believe one thing about their own privilages and another about the rights of the unwashed masses. I've heard stories that the Kennedy mansion has an indoor pistol range and Diane Feinstein carries CCW. Even heard Martin Sheen's boy once on the Johnny Carson show talking about shooting those eeevvviiillllll Uzis.
 
It's actually worse with Feinstein than simply having a CCW. When I lived in California, my undestanding was that she basically got herself federal marshall status, so she does not have to pay any attention to the reciprocity laws across the 50 states like the rest of us, and can carry anywhere in the nation.
 
After the disaster in N.O., I talked my dad into buying a firearm so that he can protect his family. Very important, don't rely on the government to protect you. As witnessed in N.O. they clearly can't and anti-gunners don't have any argument now after what happened. Heck, the police couldn't even keep the city under control because all the criminals were better armed than they were. I feel comfortable knowing that I can provide some form of security and protection for my family.
 
C'mon, we all know that the anits are gonna try to use NO as a reason to ban all guns. Not as a good reason to have them. They see one crimianl with a gun and want to ban them all not carring that criminals are people who violate laws-that is what they do-so violating one that bans guns is no big deal to them.
 
And the Anti's are going to make bigger fools out of themselves in the process.
I hope they do what they usually do. You'll be able to hear the laughter on a quiet night, standing in your front yard.
 
True, the die-hards will sink with the ship if they have too, they are that dedicated (that should be a lesson to all of us).

But, with what I've been hearing, people scambeling(sp) to purchase guns and ammo when they never thought they would need them is something (when you see fellow American's Waking-Up).

They will use this as spin, and I can't wait for ol' Sarah (or the head dude, forgot his name, don't really care to remember it) to say that the people had "sniper rifles" (as they are being referred to even on Fox and calling the criminals snipers) and then get the chance to remind everyone, she bought her son the same type of rifle.

Anything to advance their agenda.

And I bet that San Fran. gets that ban across. In their minds, if all guns are banned in the city then if (when) the big one hits, no one will have guns and there will be no looting, murders, or rapes.

They believe that everyone will join hands and sing kum-by-ya down the street.

And yes, I really believe that this is what they believe will happen.

Honestly, I can't wait for O'Reilly to even try to buy a gun, he's in NYC. Wonder if he'll do a talking points memo on that one :rolleyes: .

Well, if the almighty ego says so then it must be. Let's see if you will like him when he states that folks shooting at the police had "assault weapons" and they should be banned from private use. I try to listen to that guy. He is smart and well spoken, but I can only take him in small doses.
 
Any citations that specifically have O'Reilly supporting the AWB? I haven't kept up with him in a few years. Back when I first started watching him in 2000 (was his show brand new then, or was I late in arriving?) I took an immediate liking to him, because he does not let people get away with being full of crap. He calls them on it! And I could swear I remember him having some anti-gun idiot on the show and skewering the so-called logic that was thrown up at him like so much smoke and bullcrap.

Well, at any rate, I'm glad he has seen for himself, and decided to articulate to the masses, the utility of arms in private ownership.

Forgive me if I hold off on slapping him on the back for a few years.
I've seen this happen too many times in the past.
Give it a few years for his new-found passion to cool off some, and if he's still on the side of common sense.....
 
He's been going this way on the radio show for a little while. It came up when Florida changed their self defense laws earlier in the year.

On the Tuesday show he did say that our founding fathers "got it right' with the 2nd Amendment and that citizens need to be able to defend themselves because the government cant. Is he 100% on board? No. But it's something.

I take all these guys with a large dose of salt.
