Bill O'Reilly Offers Characteristic Unique Perspective On Las Vegas Shooting
2017-10-03
[Red State] In a blog post on his website, former Fox News host, Bill O’Reilly, shared his thoughts on last night’s tragedy in Las Vegas at the hands of a shooter.

"Once again, the big downside of American freedom is on gruesome display. A psychotic gunman in Las Vegas has committed the worst mass murder in U. S. history," O’Reilly wrote.

He’s not wrong. With the rights bestowed on American’s in the 2nd Amendment comes a certain risk and responsibility.

We have yet to learn full details, but the automatic gunfire coming from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel last night indicates that the shooter almost assuredly gained his weapons illegally or modified them illegally.

In that regard, O’Reilly states that those intent on killing "will find a way."

"This is the price of freedom. Violent nuts are allowed to roam free until they do damage, no matter how threatening they are."

He also gave little hope to the idea that much will change or advocates on both the anti-gun and pro-2A sides will become any less divided.

#2  With the rights bestowed on American’s in the 2nd Amendment comes a certain risk and responsibility.

According to Webster's "to bestow on" means "to convey as a gift."

However the 2nd Amendment doesn't purport to create or give a right. It merely enjoins the US Govermenment from infringing the people's RKBA.

#1  those intent on killing "will find a way."

"If a man has decided that he is going to bite off your nose no matter what happens to him in the process, the chances are he will succeed in doing it. He may be severely beaten up, too, but that will not stop him from carrying out his objective. That is the real fighter."
