Woah!
Right?! Even Poppa Bear is saying this is ludicrous.
I'm having trouble processing this information. ::squints::
What?!… No way..
Yeah, he said as much on Colbert too. (amongst his other ideas)
Did he? I dont have over the air so I only ever catch (sadly) Colbert clips online and not the full shows anymore .
"My solution to the gun problem is this," O'Reilly said. "No. 1: Congress debates which guns are allowed … It's perfectly legitimate for Congress then to say, 'What kind of rifles should people be able to buy?'" Colbert clarified that a President O'Reilly would be fine with banning assault weapons (he would), then tried to get back to ISIS. "One more point on the guns, because your crew out here is applauding stuff they shouldn't be applauding," O'Reilly said. "What we need to do here is, every crime — every single crime committed with a gun in this country, whether it's Orlando terrorism or whether it's Chicago and the inner-city drug gangs — every crime is then a federal crime," with tough mandatory minimum sentences.
I'd probably go further but I'm pro any step in the right direction. If you read between the lines that also implies that national record keeping of crimes committed with firearms (I mean why don't we have that for everything anyway?!) – which implies we'd be able to study the data. I don't know that just saying "mandatory minimum" means much to people who commit mass shootings but I'll put it in the win column regardless.
