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.

I thought BOR was a history teacher? I guess he didn't read about the part where the colonists sometimes had better weapons than the British??

It was the colonists that invented "rifling" to increase the accuracy of the shot. I like the image. Do you think they can take the hint? Don't forget that scumbags like Dick Cheney came up with things such as "continuity of government" to keep everyone in the patriot community off balance. ;)
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.
