BILL O’REILLY SUPPORTS GUN CONFISCATION DURING WEATHER EMERGENCIES?

That’s funny.
O’Reilly calls the opposing position “extreme,” but such gun confiscation is illegal under federal statute, and as a matter of constitutional law; in fact, the city of New Orleans lost a lawsuit over gun confiscation during Katrina.
But then, O’Reilly’s no libertarian, to put things mildly.
And he’s consistently weak on the law, also to put things mildly.
Still, he should have been better briefed for this show, as he came across looking like a fool, and making his “extreme” guest look sober and well-informed by comparison.

UPDATE:
How radically anti-gun is Bill O’Reilly here?
Even Barack Obama voted the other way. (Thanks to reader John Stober for the link).
