Bill O'Reilly: 'High-Powered Weaponry Is Too Easy to Get' in US

Image: Bill O'Reilly: 'High-Powered Weaponry Is Too Easy to Get' in US Bill O'Reilly (Getty Images)

By Joe Crowe | Wednesday, 15 Jun 2016 03:31 PM

Host Bill O'Reilly addressed gun crime during an episode of his Fox News show "The O'Reilly Factor."

During the "Talking Points Memo" segment, he said, "There is too much gun crime in the USA and high-powered weaponry is too easy to get. That's the fact. So let's deal with it."

O'Reilly said he believes the Second Amendment does not cover high-powered weapons.

"We all have the right to bear arms, but we don't have the right to buy and maintain mortars even if you feel threatened by gangsters or a new world order," he said, adding, "No bazookas, no Sherman tanks, no hand grenades."

The Fox News host noted that the Second Amendment says the government's role is to regulate militias "in the name of public safety" and laid out his idea for how federal and state governments should handle gun laws.

"Therefore, Congress should debate what kind of weapons should be available for public sale and the states should decide what kind of carry laws are good for their people," O'Reilly said. The FBI and other federal agencies need to have the authority to keep weapons out of the hands of "evil-doers like Mateen," referring to Omar Mateen, the killer in the Orlando gay nightclub massacre.

O'Reilly said he believes that gun dealers should be required to report to the FBI when they sell "heavy weapons." Congress' job would be to outline what is considered to be a heavy weapon, but handguns would not be included.

Such laws and rules "would make it a lot tougher for the Omar Mateens of the world to kill," but he pointed out that ending gun crime is impossible, especially in the U.S. in which "hundreds of millions" of guns are already circulating.

Only one 50 caliber rifle out of 500,000 was ever used in a crime. And that was an armored car robbery. We need weapons to defend ourselves against nearly 2 million Gang Bangers. The Mexican Cartels were sold guns by Obama that they used to kill a lot of Mexicans and quite a few Americans. We also need to protect ourselves from gold, silver and food confiscation. DHS through the Fusion Center in Nashville went door to door taking a survey of how much food everyone had in their house.

Bill Is'Raeli has been a shill (right gate keeper) ever since he left Texas after his reporting of CIA involvement in the Kennedy Assassination.

While FOX NEWS devotees will claim CNN is the Communist News Network the truth is they are simply gate keepers for the left. The overall desire of news networks and other propaganda outlets is to keep the mullets believing in a system that has definitely been broken and truth-free for a hundred years just like FOX.

And this fool passes for educatid?

NONE of the weapons he mentioned are covered by the Second Amendment,except for possibly hand grenades,and even that is a stretch.

The people who wrote the Second Amendment CLEARLY stated the purpose was to "insure that the common citizen had ready access to the same weapons as the common infantry soldier so that if he ever has to rise up and fight an oppressive government backed up by a professional army,he will have the tools he needs".

Such things as belt-fed automatic weapons,Tanks,and mortars are CREW-SERVED weapons,and they were to be kept by local towns as a sort of pre-National Guard Armory so the locals could gather there and take control of the cannons and gun powder.

Even though grenades are commonly carried by the typical infantryman these days,back in Colonial Times grenadiers were not infantrymen,and infantry men did not carry grenades.

So,if you REALLY want to stick to the Second Amendment,it is the magazine-fed machine guns today's infantryman carries that is SPECIFICALLY recognized as the type of weapons Americans own as a right that CAN NOT BE INFRINGED.

NOo,it didn't. Cannons were "community property". No infantry soldier ever carried a cannon.

Individuals COULD legally possess and own cannons if they wanted,but they needed a permit. That's how pirates were legally allowed to arm their ships with cannons so they could fight against the war ships of Spain and England. The Captains were given a "Letter of Marquis" to make them legal.

CIA involvement in the Kennedy Assassination.

IIRC, JFK wanted to scatter the CIA to the four winds. This was reason enough for them to make a "hit" on the President.

I also recall there was a shooter on the grassy knoll who put a round right behind Kennedy's right temple.

But, there is also this older gentleman out here who had a book that says JFK was shot by accident by the Secret Service. He told me the book said they called Bobby and told him, "Bobby, there has been a terrible accident." But don't ever expect the family to ever admit it, since they want JFK to be a martyr.

Grist for the mill. ;)

Don't forget that it was this reason that the British marched on Lexington and Concord, to seize the powder and shot kept at the armories. Without these things, the rifles kept by the commoner were useless. ;)

So what you are trying to tell me is that it takes a village to own a cannon?

Lol.

No, the right of a well regulated milita to keep and bare arms included cannons. What forbade the common man from cannon ownership was expense.... everything about them was expensive , the barrels, the shot, the powder it took to fire a single time... one could buy load of guns and powder for the same amount of money ...but no private individual was ever brought to court over illigal cannon ownership in the 1700s to late 1800s in fact the majority of the fucked up laws on arms were made after the 1880s

Yup,which only goes to highlight the foolishness of some people who have proposed we do like England,and keep our registered guns in gun clubs so we can sign them and the ammunition out when we want to shoot them.

Although to be fair I haven't heard that one mentioned since the days when the gun control freaks were seriously asking "So,why did he shoot that armed robber/rapist/attempted murderer in the head or heart to kill him when he could have just shot the gun out of his hand?"

That was back in the cowboy movie days,where the good guy always wore a white hat,and the badguys always wore a black hat,and the goodguys always shot the guns out of the badguys hands instead of killing them.

Yup,but the real reason for this was economic and local security,not any form of gun control. Cannons,cannon balls, and powder by the keg were very expensive and almost no one had or could justify spending the money to buy and maintain his own personal cannon and powder and shot house.

In order to make sure locals in all states had the ability to fight off state and federal militias and attempt to secure that power remained at the local level,the Founding Father's put in place a system where every free man was armed with his own individual weapons,and in time of emergency could form up on the village square to be issued powder and shot,and to be form gun crews to man the cannons.

The power-seekers later on formed the National Guard and federalized them in order to take over control of what HAD been the local militias as well as their armories.

Then,thanks to the "Creatures from Jekyll Island" the Feral Reserve Band was created,and our feral government sold themselves AND us into slavery by borrowing the money from private bankers to buy control over local politicians via spending bills passed in Congress.

I think those days are long gone. The Brits have been forced to give up their weapons since they have already signed and accepted the U.N. Small Arms Treaty. Under this agreement, all firearms are to be turned in and destroyed.

What do you think about that? Disarm us and leave us as prey to the criminals who will NEVER give up their guns. INSANITY!

Don't allow yourself to be backed into the "Hit bees de Jews!" corner. They are no more Israeli banks and their owners are no more Jewish than they are Martians.

What they all are,is Corporate Internationalists. They don't believe in nations because nations tax them and tell them what they can and can't do. They are One World Government people,and believe in a Corporate Board controlling the world.

Deep down and only whispered to themselves in the darkness you can bet your bippy each and every one of them believe that THEY as individuals should be the world leader,but they have no choice but to play the corporate game because each and every one of them understands that any individual that tries to take over will be killed.

As for "Jews","Americans",etc,etc,etc,such titles are only legal and political conveniences and used as tools at this time. The instant they take over those titles will be meaningless. After all,THEY are too important to be limited to such small titles. Titles like "Director of the Northern European Economic Zone",or "Director of the North American Economic Zone" will be how they will be identified.

I did say isreal as opposed to jews. But thats the truth of it. The federal reserve chairman is only run by one class of people. It is an unspoken requirement that one must be loyal to isreal to be federal reserve chairman. And how many congressman have dual citizenship with isreal? Go ahead and google it. Its over half.

Over half of congress is dual citizens with isreal.

This is an infiltration. Its tacticly ingenious. No need to war when you can abuse the political process to take control of your targets government.

Why does isreal get the majority of its gdp from our forign aid?

And even less are aware of the crowns involvement in it all. Nobody ever pays attention to the queens copyright at the bottom of our tax returns.

One nation prints the money and another nation collects the money and we are left ignorant and exploited.

In almost all cases the Colonists were better armed than the British because the British were reduced to having to use the issue Brown Bess musket,and almost all of the Colonists had rifled muskets that were much more accurate,lighter,and quicker and easier to reload.

The one exception was Major Ferguson. He was carrying an actual breech-loading rifle of his own design,and it could be reloaded 5 or 6 times quicker than the muzzle-loading muskets the British Army issued,and was said to be accurate up to 250 yards versus the 50 yards of the Brown Bess.

He made about 100 of them and issued them to a special unit he commanded,but he was seriously wounded in a battle in Pa,and by the time he recovered his unit had been disbanded,and the rifles disappeared. He was later killed at the battle of Kings Mountain in NC by one of those wascally rebs shooting from behind a tree or log instead of standing up in plain view so he could be shot first.

The rebel that shot him was most likely shooting an actual rifle instead of a musket because the unit the Brits were fighting was a local militia unit that reported to duty carrying their hunting rifles.

In other words,the CIVILIANS that showed up to fight the PROFESSIONAL British Army during the American Revolution were BETTER ARMED THAN THE PROFESSIONAL MILITARY.

So much for the nanny-state freaks claims that civilians should have no access to military weapons because they are deadlier than civilian weapons.

And how many congressman have dual citizenship with isreal? Go ahead and google it. Its over half.

I am opposed to dual-citizenships regardless of what country the other citizenship is in. If you can't bring yourself to give up citizenship in that country,renounce your American citizenship and take your ass to where your heart resides.

No,rifling barrels to increase accuracy was invented in Germany in the early 1500's. They had already been rifling the tubes on crossbows to increase accuracy,so rifling the barrels of firearms was no great leap.

While it is true that I am a geezer,I ain't quite THAT old,so I will just have to guess.

The British Army back then had at least one thing in common with the modern armies of today. They buy their crap from the "connected" bidder that puts in the lowest bid. And of course,"adjustments" are made after the contract is signed and before the goods are delivered.

They had a TON of the Brown Bess muskets,and they only fought armies with similar arms and supply systems,or they fought natives armed with spears and swords. Their "march in a straight line shoulder to shoulder" tactic worked good back in a time when there were no accurate weapons and ranges were short.

It wasn't until they started fighting the American colonists that were armed with their own private weapons and who,unlike the British or any any foe they fought,were VERY good shots because it wasn't illegal for them to own weapons or hunt game. The only people in European armies back then who had any shooting experience before donning a uniform were the nobility. The typical solider just pointed the open end of his rifle in the general direction of the enemy,and pulled the trigger. Hell,they didn't even have sights. You don't need sights when your weapon is wildly inaccurate at any distance beyond 50 yards,and you only shoot it at other solders lined up shoulder to shoulder and marching towards you. Ferguson would have probably been able to sell his breech-loading rifles to the Crown if he hadn't been killed,but he was the rare arms merchant. He was one of them,and had contacts in the high command. That's how he got his own experimental unit of 100 soldiers armed with his rifle. It was to test this new theory and equipment. Unfortunately for the British he was severely wounded in the first battle (those 72 caliber dead soft musket balls caused horrendous wounds when they hit),and by the time he was back on duty the unit had been disbanded and all the rifles had disappeared.
