CNN Reporter: Banning Guns Would Impress Euros

On the October 13 CNN "Newsroom" program, European political editor Robin Oakley pontificated to Sens. McCain and Obama on how the U.S. can be more liked by people in Europe:

"While we're on the symbolism, let me remind you how many Europeans see U.S. voters -- as a trigger-happy bunch with a Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other.... Does either of you senators have any serious plans to reduce the number of guns available in the U.S. or even dare to suggest it? That really would impress the Europeans, that you stand for change."

Too bad Europeans are a bunch of cocky assholes who descended from criminals and retarded monkeys...jk

I seriously don't give a shit what the liberals in Europe think about us though. Gun control and Global warming is total bullshit.

Europe sucks ass!

[hydrosailor]

What was the point of this? Newsflash genius, europeans will always think they are superior to us. I think of all europeans as once great academics, doctors and warriors thousands of years ago, but are now a former shadow of themselves. They traded it all in for the illusion of safety and socialism. They do not have a right to comment on anything anymore other than soccer.

yeah unlike other places we dont give a dookie about what the EU thinks not our problem suck it. we dont even have joined borders with any of them so who cares. They are all a bunch of whinny liberal girls that love to be told what to do by their government because they have a slave mentality from the time they where the kings servents. they just dont understand that they serve a new king now the politicians

Hey Europe...FUCK YOU! How impressive is that?

@mattyabsley Quite a few solely for marksmanship but far more serve more than one purpose. I used to hunt upland birds with the same shotgun I used for clays.

I did maintain your comment about "a failed state" was an assumption but our new President is making that position unsure. Same with "defend against your own country." Not long ago I would have laughed but things seem to be changing rapidly. Be aware: Tulsa is not Boston nor is Houston like San Francisco and none are Europe.
