Lawrence O’Donnell Gets in Angry Debate With GOP Rep. Over Gun Control

Lawrence O’Donnell, the self-described communist socialist, invited GOP Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) on his show to comment on a Democratic proposal to ban gun clips that hold over 10 rounds. O’Donnell focused his interview around one question: “Congressman, don‘t you wish Jared Loughner had a smaller capacity ammunition clip when he went to Gabby Giffords’ event in Tuscon?” Franks, however, refused to answer the question directly. And that infuriated O’Donnell.

O‘Donnell’s question, though, wasn’t as much an attempt at honest dialogue as it was an inquiry aimed at a gotcha moment. That’s because the question was a catch 22: If Franks says he does wish Loughner had a smaller clip, he’d be blasted for supporting gun control; if he says he doesn’t, he’d be labeled an angry Tea Partier who wanted the congresswoman dead. Franks didn‘t take O’Donnell’s bait, despite the tantrum-like insistence of the MSNBC host.

O’Donnell, however, didn’t leave any doubt about how he felt when he yelled, “I blame the individual for the first 10 bullets! I blame the law for the next 21 bullets that he fired!” The full segment, along with O‘Donnell’s introduction, is below:

As a final note, O’Donnell goes out of his way to quote a previous statement by Franks saying that if there was one more gun at the scene of the Tucson shooting in the hands of a responsible person. When O‘Donnel’s attempts to corner Franks on that statement fail, he claims a majority of police officer bullets miss their target. Unfortunately, he dos not offer anything to back that up nor does he discuss the context of any officer-involved shooting. Do those errant bullets usually hit bystanders? Do a majority of those shootings take place in rural or urban areas? Do they take place in a house or outside? We will never know.

As O’Donnell says condescendingly at the end of the interview, “don’t be silly.”

      Yessir, you have made the best point yet on this thread. IF the crazies knew anything about Exterior Balistics/Guns/Ammo, we’d all be in a world of hurt more often than not. The handgun is never of any real utility in anything other than DEFENSE. They fail miserably when used in the Assault. The Shotgun or Rifle are far superior depending on the particulars. This guy would have done alot more damage with an 8 shot, 20″ barreled 12Ga. Pump, with #1 Buck for that short of range. OR, he could have chosen a full power center fire rifle from some distance, and taken out two or three individuals per shot, as closely as the targets were packed. OR he could have just Hi Jacked the Cab he came in and driven it through the crowd at 60 or so. Good thing he used a wimpy 9MM Glock, otherwise it might have been really bad.

    I‘m truly amazing by comments from communists following Loughner’s rampage. Their logic is so twisted and un-American. Alcohol kills hundreds of thousands more people that extended clips. Why aren’t they trying to ban alcohol? If saving a few lives is all the reasoning you need to do something, then ban alcohol. It kills A LOT more people than extended mags………..or else just accept that random things happen in a free society and it‘s not the government’s responsibility to make a new law every time something bad happens.

      But the whole point is that guns don’t kill, high capacity magazines don’t kill, alcohol doesn’t kill, motor vehicles don’t kill, swimming pools don’t kill. Living beings kill, especially PEOPLE! Everyone is not a victim. I don’t care how nuts the shooter in AZ was, he was not a victim. He chose to shoot. I don‘t care what the LA teen’s reasoning was in handling the gun in his backpack, he was not a victim. He chose to take a handgun to school and mess with it.

    I know this has been said a million times before, but Liberals are morons. So, let me get this straight… according to this dufus interviewing Representative Franks, having a policeman at Giffords’ event would have been a waste of time, because there’s a chance that when the officer fired on the gunman he would have missed. Let me say this again, Liberals are morons.

    Clip size has no bearing! Reduce capacity and they just bring TWO guns!

    The assault weapon bann did not mean you CANT get those clips it only meant they can no longer manufacture them! I purchased NUMEROUS high capacity mags during the ban. The ban had NOTHING to do with getting them. It STOPPED the manufature of new ones!

    Most gun fights are in real close quarters .Odonnel forgot one thing and the most important .the gunman was on the offensive until it was dealt with with the chain of force which happened to be retraint if the chain of use of force was elevate to the defense mode right after he drew his gun meaning if there was more than one armed persons there this would have gave the the victims and a chance to disperse for cover because the perp would have to go for cover or get killed. And for the reasoning of 10 rounds per clip if that was law . this would have gave him incentive to bring more guns to the fight.Take the caroline mc carthey case I dont know where they were situated in that train but if her husband or son were armed they could have drawn the weapons and maybe returned fire, they already had the coverage in the train.

      30 round clips are silly looking and cumbersome, but used by some who convert their pistols to full auto (yes, some do, and yes, it’s silly).

      The moment you give them an inch they go for the full monty. Suggest that 30 rounds magazines are inappropriate here and they’ll have them banned for semi-auto rifles just as fast as the ink can dry.

      O’Donnell is a punk isnt he another failed tool of Hollywood? Wasnt he an actor or something and sucked at that so now he is in politics. I keep remembering how he treated, Katy Abrams of townhall fame telling Spector “waking the sleeping giant”. She was speaking on fact and O’D lied on air to make her look bad that she was uninformed over BHO saying his goal was single payer.. O’D said BHO never said that when we all have seen the vid of him talking to SEIU about it.

      Hey Comcast now that NBC is yours why dont you set precedent and can this tool of the left!?

      Let me get this straight. O’Donnell argues that Police officers, unless they were “very well trained NYPD officers”, would have just drawn and closed their eyes firing wildly into the crowd? Maybe he believes in the “Barny Fife” rule, that each officer should ONLY have one bullet, and THAT one kept safely in his shirt pocket. IF that is his arguement, then that just strengthens ours, that the more CITIZENS who are as well trained as the NYPD AND are carrying, this guy would have had MAYBE 2-3 rounds of his 30 downrange before he was dropped like a rock BY WELL TRAINED AND ARMED CITIZENS, and not a single by-stander touched.

      Thank you!

      I’m a farm boy from Ohio, born to a Vietnam era jet pilot father and small town model mother, who used to wear a chain wallet, helped raise horses (Shires), had a mullet, chewed on grass in the summer time, spent lots of time fantasizing about Katherine Bach and Dawn Wells as a teen, and have countless memories of fishing, hunting and shooting. One of my most vivid memories was when I was 5 and I went to a professional football game with my father and his friends, who were presenting colors at the game (Marine Corp). After the game, they were offered a ride back to their cars in a van with the cheerleaders from the home team. They spent no small amount of time passing me around and holding me on their laps, cooing and telling me I was a cutey petootie and as a result I’m permanently enamored with scantily clad cheerleaders. :)

      I have two degrees, one in a liberal arts discipline and one in a hard science, and have a handful of published articles in commercial magazines. I write screenplays and short stories (though my novel skills are sorely lacking), and have been studying philosophy in an amateur sense since at least, gosh, 1988. My writings on this site however, I must confess, go largely un-proofed and are often of shoddy quality. I figure, eh, what the heck, it’s the internet, no biggie.

      A gun is nothing more than a tool.

      Furthermore, do they really think for a second that if they banned guns that I will just turn mine in??

      The gun debate is illogical.

      Besides, do these leftist idiots really think that if they ban guns the criminals who use them to commit crimes will just turn them in? not to mention do these leftist idiots really think for a second that criminals will stop to think about the “strict penalties of possessing an illegal gun” right before they walk into the gas station to rob it and kill the clerk in the process???

      The round capacity of the magazines don’t matter. A good shot is a good shot. Loughner walked up to point blank range and shot people. It was personal to him for some reason.

      “Congressman, don‘t you wish Jared Loughner had a smaller capacity ammunition clip when he went to Gabby Giffords’ event in Tuscon?”

      Forcefully repeating the question doesn’t change the question, nor the answer. If there was something specific in the answer that Lawrence O’Donnell took issue with, then he should say that – but repeating the question isn’t helpful. Nor does the force by which one asks a question lend it more (or less) legitimacy.

      Also, the Second Amendment was written to protect the citizens from tyrannical government, so clip-size/gun-type are not the issue.

      With regard to bullets missing their target, a culture of open-carry would actually promote precision, so that’s not an issue. And Trent Franks was right when he said that if it’s true that the majority of police miss their target a lot, then we should take guns out of the hands of police, since they’re so dangerous – but he didn’t say this because he believed it, but because he’s a Socialist, and he wants to take away the power of the people to resist tyrannical government.

      Odonnald was wrong on his basic premis. I wish the senator had known. Large capacity magazines were not outlawed. many citizens like me owned and still own “high cap mags”. What was outlawed was the MANUFACTURE AND RETAIL SALE of high cap mags in conjunction with the “ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN”. So if you owned them, you still had them. and as a private citizen, you could buy or sell them. They were very expensive, but could be bought. In addition, check out ISPCA or IDPA to see how fast a practiced person can change magizines. If the insane person would have practiced just a little, he would not have been stopped as Odonnald claims.

      Franks had a valid question. If the gun clip was smaller people still would have been killed. So what is O‘Donnell’s point? Would the lives that were lost with a 10 round clip be of lesser value? A person like Jared Loughner will kill no matter what. If guns were banned he might have made a bomb (which would have to potential to kill even more people) or he might have used a knife. I fail to see what the point is that O’Donnell was trying to make.

      Make no mistake, “The Constitution reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day.” It is a “charter of negative liberties.” Essentially it limits what those entrusted with federal government office can and can not do, with the remainder being left up to the states. Let me be clear, personally I don’t care for it much. In fact, by any honest measurement, one would have to admit that neither do progressive socialist democrats such as former House Speaker Pelosi, Reid, and many power drunk republicans remaining in Congress.

      As your de-facto president I don’t get to pick and choose which parts I like well enough to obey or to ignore what I dislike. Honoring the Constitution requires one to obey it as a whole, at all times. To do otherwise by diminishing even just one part, such as Article 2, Section 1, diminishes the whole. However being a British citizen by birth, fortunately it really doesn’t apply to me now does it?

      As you can tell by my actions, while I rather like a monarchy, to fulfill the ‘Dreams of My Father’ as espoused in the book Bill Ayers wrote for me at Michelle’s request, I much prefer a communist totalitarian dictatorship. To that end, I hope the change wrought by my economic sabotage will cause citizens to unwisely sacrifice freedom for security. When enough voters are reduced to government dependency, surely they will welcome my plans for redistributive social justice based on my mentor’s dictum: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

      The Founders, in their day, owned MORE sophisticated weapons than the standard British Infantryman. Rifled, long barreled weapons were infinitely more accurate than the shotgun-esque standard British issue, and could strike at a much farther range, allowing Patriots to fire unseen into British formations. The British, like you, were outraged that they used such weapons.

      @WALKWITHME,

      Don’t loose any sleep over your concerns. Take it from a charter member of the “Gun Culture”, one of your Communist Heros, Slick Willy Clinton, attempted to Ban all manner of Evil Gun Stuff. He only succeeded in causing more guns, magazines and ammo being sold than ever in our history. His attempt also had another “Unintended Consequence” or two.

      1. THOUSANDS of REGULAR GUN OWNERS that had never owned more than a couple of hunting rifles and a pistol maybe, with never more than 100 rounds of ammo for them all, WOKE UP to the real threat to our safety. These same folks now own dozens of every imaginable firearm there is, and buy and stock ammunition and components in the tens of thousands of rounds. In 2009 after OBONGO and the Communists took over, we bought more guns and ammunition than it would take to arm both the Red Chinese and the Indian Armies combined. 13 Million guns or so in 12 months, and 1.6 Billion rounds of Ammunition a month for a year went into civilian hands in this country.

      2. Lots of what you would call Hard Core Gun Nuts, moved beyond just tinkering with what ever new piece they bought, and set up to manufacture their own “Home Grown” Guns and Magazines etc. There are literally thousands of guns and tens of thousands of Evil High Capacity Magazines in existence today that DON’T EXIST at all. Since the Clintonista Regime was in power, more guns and ammo have been BURIED than the Feds could find and dig up in a 100 years.

      So by all means BAN whatever you want. The ONE thing a new BAN will most certainly make widely available will be the $200.00 Basement Built Sub Machinegun.

      This point was already stated but the killer was well aware of what he wanted to do where he wanted to do it and how he wanted to do it. Loughner could have easily purchased a fully automatic weapon with over 50 rounds per clip which is standard on some weapons. He could have brought several guns with him fully loaded to transition to after each weapon was spent. Basically, the liberal sickness is not aware that being a crazed lunatic assassin in no way means that you aren’t intelligent. Criminals are known for having immense creativity and the ability to see and plan accordingly. Liberals see the weapon as the issue whereas the rest of civilized humanity see the man behind the gun who was committed for violence. Let‘s all stop thinking that being crazy and violent means you aren’t capable of planning out every last detail.

      O’Donnel had the same look in his eyes as the shooter in Arizona. If looks could kill, Rep. Franks would have been a goner. O’ Reilly would call this guy a loon. TRUE.

      With some of the things this loon has said in the past, I have absolutely no interest in what he says or does. I pretend he doesn’t exist along with Olberman, Matthews, Maddow and all their ilk. They are all hateful, mean spirited people who couldn’t make it in the real world so they have to work for MSNBC, CNN and ABC and NBC——all bad people. Tune them out and off.

      I would agree with you there Robert.I tried real hard to listen to O Donnel and his crap in this interview but then I had to turn it off, I wanted to reach through the screen and slap the dumb ass upside his head. What a useless waist of oxygen. His reciculous claims that an over whelming majority of bullets fired by trained police officers miss their target.What kind of stupid idiotic dum and outright ignorant crock of crap.and the sad part is this dumb ass believes his own bull crap.

      Not a single bullet….

      The Happy Land fire was an arson fire which killed 87 people trapped in a social club called “Happy Land” in New York, in 1990. Julio González, whose former girlfriend was employed at the club, was arrested shortly after and ultimately convicted of arson and murder.

      Julio threw a gallon of gas on his girlfriend, but everyone inside died. Had Julio had a gun there would have only been 1 dead. Wierd huh? I‘m just sayin’, gasoline doesn’t kill people, people kill people.

      Studies from the FBI and other law enforcement agencies do reveal when a police officer gets into a gun battle with an armed suspect it ususlly results in anywhere from 7-10 shots being fired by the officers. These types of gun battles more times than not occur with 7 feet of the cop and bad guy. Studies further reveal a very low pecentage of “friendly fire” injuries. It does happen but not as often as the Left would have you believe. Most incidents I have seen on Dash Cams show innocent civillians getting on the ground or behind cover while the shooting is going on. I would have loved to been in the crowd at that supermarket with my weapon. I am confident I could have taken him out before he emptied that first clip. Ya never know but thats why I carry mine concealed to almost everywhere I go…..just in case I have to defend myself, family or innocent citizens from being victims.

      Hey what do you know, the censors at The Blaze finally cleared our ultra radical right wing postings of the 2nd amendment, several hours after the fact. Happy days, sort of…

      Funny how there is no outrage from the Socialist news when our border patrol agents and border ranchers get shot and killed by criminal foreign invaders. These people have no credibility and I don’t care about one word they say. They can yell at a wall all day for all I care, these people are the Scum of society

      So this socialist blames the law for the next 21 bullets HE fired.Yep and I bet the law maker never reads any proposed legislation before he votes on it too.Probably too busy reading the Worker –or maybe a collection of Obamas’ speeches? I am just not nuanced enough I guess to appreciate the logic. The socialist blames the shooter for the first ten bullets only but admits the shooter fired all thirty one.Note to this elected Idiot — the Law didn’t fire any of those bullets did it? This clown and Shirley Jackson Lee, and Barbara boxer, and Barney Frank ,and Harry Reid are some of the examples of WHY I cannot return to the Democratic Party.

      It’s a stupid argument. Sure you can limit the size of clips, but someone can buy multiple clips, takes all of a second to change one out. Again, all you are doing is regulating those who OBEY the law, you are not doing anything to dissuade a nut job bent on killing people. If he couldn’t get a gun, maybe he would have used a bomb instead, and that would have killed and maimed even MORE innocent bystanders.

      On the other hand, as others have noted, if there had been one or two law abiding citizens in the crowd carrying, they might have had a chance to take the idiot down before he got off all those shots.

      Continue to pray for Mrs. Giffords and her family, and for our nation.

      Would Lawrence feel better if he would have just bought a 30 round clip out of the trunk of a car? (Though I am confident that if the crazed killer knew there was a law against a high capacity clip he would have refrained from using it.)

      How about not responding to these idiots at all, then they would only be talking and watching themselves. As soon as we stop defending ourselves they will move on, if they dont owell, they can listen to each other.
      We spend more time talking about whatthey said even though we know they dont make sense.
      Just stop the talking with liberal media and problem solved.

      What I understand about abortion issues is that most Libs do not agree in the moral standing of such an act however they feel Big Government should not be in control of such decisions. It is not that they are for an abortion, they do not like the fact of the Government being in control. 98% of all abortions are young black women between the ages of 11 and 19 years of age. Our issues of concern begin long before the actual abortion. Just like gun control, our issues begin long before the mass killings. For all you fellas and gals out there who like to own your guns, I would guess you are mostly concern about loosing your right to own one or two or three. I truly believe you will never have to ever worry about that happening. No one on the left would ever ask for that. However, though most gun owners show much responsibility in having them, how would you respond to handling this situation? If you could take a personal vote today, would you vote on regulation or would you vote on no limits? Thanks for your time, have a super day :)
