Ann Coulter last night on Fox News‘ “Hannity” suggested America doesn’t have a gun problem, but a problem with Blacks and Muslims. Coulter has joined the GOP extremists, like Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who refuse to place blame on the fact that America has 300 million guns in circulation for the 30,000+ gun deaths each year.
“If you compare white populations, we have the same murder rate as Belgium,” Coulter , who says concealed carry laws reduce gun deaths, told Hannity. “So perhaps it’s not a gun problem, it is a demographic problem, which liberals are the ones pushing, pushing, pushing.”
“Let’s get more Colin Fergusons and whoever the guy was who shot up Fort Hood. Why are they coming in to begin with?”
“Ferguson, who immigrated to the States from Jamaica, and Nidal Malik Hasan, an American and army major serving as a psychiatrist at Fort Hood, killed multiple people in mass shootings,” The Huffington Post, which characterized Coulter’s comments as “jawdropping,” reported:
Coulter added that banning gun magazines would not stop public shootings, claiming that Ferguson had time to reload his gun. He had actually used two fifteen-round magazines during the shooting, and was pinned down and stopped when he was reloading his third magazine.
Ferguson’s attack, which killed six people, was in 1993. Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, was born in Virginia, and murdered 13 in 2009.
On Sunday, Congresswoman Blackburn said guns were not the problem, but hammers, hatchets, cars, “psychiatric and psychotropic drugs,†and the video game, “Call of Duty.”
Of all the major mass shootings in America, the majority of the shooters have been young white males.
Engraved on the base of the Statue of Liberty, an American icon that exists to welcome immigrants, is a well-known poem, by Emma Lazarus, that reads, in part:
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Apparently Coulter would like that to read:
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your white, America-born huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Curiously as well, Rupert Murdoch, the founder, Chairman and CEO of Fox News’ parent, News Corp., has publicly stated automatic weapons should be banned.
