Interesting that Carlson did not reference one of her gods, Ronnie Reagan, who also came out quite strong against assault weapons. Of course to mention that connection would be pure blasphemy to Fox viewers so she couched it as a just agreeing with Obama.

I really think that until a mass shooting happens at one of the conservative cathedrals, there will be no change.
The irony of gun control is that, most often, itâs the conservatives who are armed. So when they get pissed, they go kill lots of unarmed liberals.
Whereas pissed off liberals seem to be more in tune with smoking a joint.
Thatâs why nothing ever happens. If it was NRA children lying in a bloodbath, you better believe weâd have gun control in a second.

To get some actual legislative change, sensible gun owners need to be peeled away from the corporate funded NRA. Once upon a time, the NRA was synonymous with gun safety and education, not Ted Nugent and his pack of libertarian, fear mongering bigots.
We need an organization that takes up that mantle of education, teaches safety classes, lobbies for appropriate gun legislation, such as banning these murder machines, provides an alternative ideological home for those who enjoy the shooting sports, and gives political cover to the right wing quislings who refuse to vote to protect their constituents from mass casualties by gunfire.
There are some issues that should never be negotiable for Democrats, such as reducing Social Security or restricting womenâs reproductive rights. I donât believe that even a significant minority of Democrats believe that all guns should be banned. (I havenât seen any polling data on it, so I could be wrong, but thatâs my impression.)
This is an area where we need to reach out and expand the tent.

To her credit, she never seemed fully bought in or on message with the FOX/NRA/Dead-Enders. She, rightfully, cried on air during Sandy Hook. Sheâs a fucking ideological idiot most of the time. but at least she seems to have a heart.

Roger Ailes and Bill Shine are the decision-makers in these matters, not Murdoch. He is awful, but the other two much more so, editorially.

That is why I am disappointed at the Obama administration, convention chair Paul Ryan and also Wayne Lapierre and the NRA leadership. They are not allowing conservatives to open carry at the Republican convention. This decision to ban weapons at the Republican National Convention is the alarming first step on the way to destroying the Second Amendment.
I am sure that Donald Tramp, who is a strong supporter of Amendment Two, would allow open carry at the convention.
Gretchen Carlson:
Yes, Iâm in favor of people being able to carry. I think some of these mass shootings would have been less deadly if that were the case.
If only those six year olds in Newtown had been armed, it all could have been prevented.
