Marco Rubio FOR Gun Registration?

[Cordite]

From the O'REilly Factor last night. Skip ahead to around 4:20 if you want to avoid the pain of O'Reilly's rino rant supporting registration:

Guns and the federal government | Fox News Video


I would be interested to see Rubio's response to whether he agrees with gun registration. I can't tell from the video whether he was trying to get past O'Reilly's nonsense to make his point about Obama, or whether he actually agrees that registration is OK under the Second Amendment.

If any of our Florida members can get some clarification this, that would be great. Especially since it apepars Rubio has already tossed his hat into the 2016 Presidential ring.

As for O'Reilly, I ceased watching his show two years ago once I saw his lefward shift in an attempt to attrack more viewers.

O'Reilly is no conservative. He believes rights are subject to compromise?

O'Reilly is trotting out the old liberal sleight of hand trying to blur the distinction between rights and privileges. A right is endowed by our creator, and is preserved as such in the Constitution. A privilege is a grant of authority by the state, and as the granting authority, the state has the power to impose reasonable regulations on the exercise of the privilege. Another way to put it, is that a state CAN infringe on a privilege, but cannot do so with a right.


With "conservatives" like O'Reilly, It is a wonder that New York's new gun law was not more restrictive than it is.

They glossed over it so fast if you blinked you'd miss it. Having a CCW permit in FL and registration are 2 different things. Here, they confuse them as the same thing, they are not! Way to go no spinning. O'Reilly for all his bluster is such a sloppy reporter on the gun issue.

O'Reilly never claimed to be a conservative.

I don't know what to say. I think he is swinging. This is the letter I received from him when I wrote about the 2nd Ammendment:

"Thank you for writing to me regarding the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. I share your concern for the victims of this tragedy.

My heart breaks for the victims and families impacted by this senseless act of violence. In a world that can at times be defined by its darkness, children are a reminder of what is good, cheerful and beautiful about life. An act of violence against these defenseless young people, as well as the faculty and staff who dedicate themselves daily to educating and caring for them, is a deed of unconscionable evil. I pray that God holds Newtown close as the community continues to heal from this tragedy.

In the aftermath of this unspeakable tragedy, like millions of Americans, I am looking for public policy changes that might prevent such a horrible event from happening again. I continue to be a strong supporter of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which guarantees citizens the right to safely and responsibly bear arms. At the same time, I have always been open to measures that would keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. In light of this horrible tragedy, I am open to new ideas to prevent mass tragedies like this from happening again.

It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your United States Senator. I appreciate your concern regarding this situation. If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Marco Rubio
United States Senator

Rubio also said he believes that President Obama DOES NOT BELIEVE in the Second Amendment

at all, and hasn't his whole career, and that he should come out and say so.
