‘That’s actually not true’: Chris Wallace tears NRA executive director a new one for lying about gun control
08 Oct 2017 at 11:15 ET


Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday took on NRA Executive Director Chris Cox about his organization’s resistance to gun safety laws following the recent mass shooting in Las Vegas.

“You say common decency [means] let’s wait [on discussing gun laws], what’s enough time?” Wallace wondered. “I mean, here were 58 people killed, almost 500 injured. Is it common decency to wait a day, two days, a week, a month. I mean, it is understandable — I know you don’t agree with [Democrats’] solution but what’s wrong with saying we need to address this?”

Cox, however, turned the question into an opportunity to attack House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Hillary Clinton, who he accused of wanting to abolish all gun rights.

“Is that a sensible way to have this conversation, to try to turn it into class warfare,” Wallace shot back, “where if you’re for gun control somehow you’re part of an elite?”

Chris Cox has all the Foxnews, RW talking points down pat. Good for Wallace for bringing some truth to the show.

[Merlot]

1. Who are they to decide what "common decency" is?

They say "now is not the time to talk about guns" and everyone falls for that line, repeating it incredulously and asking "when is the right time?" Instead they should be asking "who are you to decide what we can talk about and when?"

It's like how climate change got turned into "is it man made or not?" instead of "who cares who caused it, let's take steps to solve it."

[Dreamer Tatum]

4. "Now isn't the time" means "talking points still under development" nt

[Merlot]

7. No, it means let's ignore this until it goes away

the talking points around gun safety are always the same anyhow.

[Cary]

9. They have forever forfeited being an arbiter of any decency

Even before inflicting #fakepresident on us.

[mdbl]

2. so Chris Wallace is trying to be a true journalist once in a while

Let me know when good journalism becomes a standard at Fux nooze. Until then, I'll pass.

[Dreamer Tatum]

3. So he takes dead aim at the NRA bullshit on national TV

and you'll pass?

How pure.

[mdbl]

5. if you like

[snowybirdie]

6. Wayne LaPierre

was on CBS and used same talking points, but dissed Diane Fienstein instead

[Cary]

10. He called her "Steinfein."

[Grins]

8. Better response...

"That's a lie...!"

See how easy it is Mr. Wallace?

11. What bullshit, the poor woman

working the late shift in "Chicago" who wants to protect herself is not what we are talking about. Is she carrying a weapon with a 100 magazine capacity? Is she carrying a full or semi-automatic in her purse ? Does she have said weapons in her home for protection ? These types of weapons are for killing mass amounts of people . Except for the few who go into their backyard and blow off a thousand rounds for fun. I say in that case they can CERTAINLY go to a range rent a automatic weapon and go at it. Then leave it there and go home .

12. Say "lie". Say "bribed by gun firms".

"it's actually not true" is far too weak.

"It's a lie'
