By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one\u2019s claiming they watch ABC\u2019s “The View” for factual Second Amendment news. But the gaggle of progressive television hosts got plenty wrong during a\u00a0conversation<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0about Second Amendment rights and recent criminal shootings perpetrated by people breaking the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hosts are known for their extreme gun restriction beliefs. This particular discussion included Joy Behar bloviating<\/a><\/strong> about how the U.S. Supreme Court was \u201cpoised to pass a bill\u201d that would force New York to \u201cbe an open carry state, and an open carry city,\u201d among other nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show\u2019s conservative guest host, former Director of Strategic Communications for The White House for President Donald Trump Alyssa Farah, took the bait when it was suggested<\/a><\/strong> that no American needs<\/em> an AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hosts could use a Civics 101 lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rights, Not Needs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The View pushed partisan politics and gun control before the facts were known after a disturbed criminal<\/strong><\/a> attacked New York City subway commuters and injured at least 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group decried Republicans for exposing soft-on-crime prosecutors as part of the problem. Behar blamed Republican governors for making it \u201ceasier\u201d to get a firearm. She meant Republican governors in Alabama<\/a>, Indiana<\/a><\/strong> and Georgia<\/a><\/strong> who all signed legislation enacting permitless carry, or Constitutional Carry. The laws in those states don\u2019t \u201cmake it easier\u201d to get guns. The laws mean only that if a law-abiding American passes a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) verification, they can legally carry a firearm without having to pay for a state permit to exercise their fundamental right to bear arms. There are 25 states in this group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Host Sunny Hostin questioned Farah. \u201cWould you agree and concede that no one needs an AR-15 or, uh, an assault-style weapon\u2026.because hunters, if you\u2019re a good hunter I don\u2019t think you need to use that to shoot a deer,\u201d she asked<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, yes,\u201d Farah answered. She added that people often misunderstand firearms because of what they look like, not how they function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer should have been \u201cNo!\u201d Full stop. Not because of anything having to do with hunting. Not because they are supposedly \u201cassault-style weapons,\u201d \u2013 they aren\u2019t. Not because Hostin thinks firearm ownership is about a \u201cneed.\u201d The answer is \u201cNo\u201d because it is a fundamental right of law-abiding Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first 10 amendments to the Constitution were deemed the Bill of Rights. Not the Bill of Needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s Rifle<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The AR-15, or Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR), is the most popular-selling semiautomatic centerfire rifle in America. The AR stands for ArmaLite Rifle, the name of the company that developed the design back in the 1950s, not \u201cassault rifle\u201d as gun control groups or talking heads like Hostin falsely repeat. These rifles use the same one-trigger-pull, one-fire technology that was developed in the late-nineteenth century<\/strong><\/a> and is still commonly utilized in handguns and shotguns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Sporting Rifles have been\u00a0commercially sold<\/strong><\/a> since the early 1960s and are available to law-abiding citizens who pass a NICS check. They only bear a similar appearance to the military\u2019s M-16 or M-4 automatic rifles. Automatic rifles have been severely restricted from civilian ownership since 1934 and haven\u2019t been commercially made since 1986.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, firearm sales in America reached record highs with NSSF industry retailer data showing more than\u00a021 million background checks for a<\/strong>\u00a0firearm sale in 2020<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and more than\u00a018.5 million in 2021<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0That includes more than 14 million first-time firearm buyers between\u00a02020<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a02021<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0Self-defense was one of the top reasons given when first-time purchasers were asked about why they bought a firearm. Given its versatility, affordability, accuracy and reliability, the MSR has always been a favorite choice for that category of buyer. Since 1990, estimates are there are well over\u00a020 million<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0MSRs in circulation today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News examined<\/a><\/strong> why so many Americans purchased MSRs throughout the pandemic and 26-year-old mom Megan Hill explained her decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe looked at the AR-15, and it was all in one package,\u201d Hill said. \u201cYou can target-shoot with it, protect yourself with it, hunt with it. Luckily we haven\u2019t had to use it in self-defense, but it\u2019s a comfort knowing that it\u2019s there to protect my children and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empowering Right<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hostin is no stranger to absurd statements about firearms. She\u2019s bemoaned<\/a><\/strong> Americans like Megan Hill and millions more who own MSRs, saying she feels like \u201ca hostage.\u201d She loathed<\/a><\/strong> that her friends and family were buying firearms. She even sat and listened as previous guest host Sherri Shephard explained why she decided to purchase a firearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI felt very empowered when I bought this gun. I took lessons. I took the test. I go to the range with my girlfriends like every other week, and it just makes me feel like at least if something happens, I can protect my child,\u201d Shephard said<\/a>.<\/strong> \u201cI don\u2019t know why you\u2019re laughing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women accounted for more than\u00a040 percent<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0of all firearm purchases over the past two years and\u00a0African-American women<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0have been the fastest-growing demographic segment of all. The number one reason has been for the protection of their families and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans aren\u2019t taking their advice from television talk show hosts. They\u2019re standing on the Constitution when it comes to their rights, including their right to own MSRs. Support for gun control is\u00a0tanking<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0as gun ownership is rising. They\u2019re keeping it up today, not because of a need, but because it\u2019s their right to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry Keane\u00a0<\/strong>is Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs and General Counsel for the\u00a0National Shooting Sports Foundation<\/a>, the firearms industry trade association.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
