"The Second Amendment is clear that Americans have a right to arm themselves for protection. Even the loons."
Bill O'Reilly weighed in on the mass shooting in Las Vegas and the topic of gun control in a message posted to his official site Monday, calling the deadly attack "the price of freedom."
In the note, O'Reilly said that government regulations "will not stop psychopaths from harming people."
He added, "Public safety demands logical gun laws but the issue is so polarizing and emotional that little will be accomplished as there is no common ground."
The No Spin News host called the mass murder the "downside to American freedom," citing the Second Amendment and Americans' right to bear arms. "Violent nuts are allowed to roam free until they do damage, no matter how threatening they are," he wrote.

Try saying that to a relative of one of the dead. Just try, o brave one.

(49,045 posts)being allowed to "roam free" -- as if there are always clear warning signs. There obviously weren't here.
And if threatening, violent nuts should be locked up, that would definitely include O'Reilly, who violently attacked his ex-wife when she caught him having phone sex in their bedroom:

McPhilmy claims OReilly flew into a fit of rage after she walked in on him, slammed her into a wall and dragged her down a hallway.
She also claimed in the affidavit, according to Jezebel, that OReilly, who was still naked below the waist, dragged her down a flight of stairs into the kitchen, at which point a security guard saw the attack.
Lock him up!
