Libertarian VP Candidate William Weld: AR-15s Can Be “Weapons of Mass Destruction” and Handguns Are “Even Worse”

By Melissa Dykes

Even the Libertarian ticket is sold out to suck up Republican votes in an attempt to swing things Hillary’s way.

Take Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson’s vice presidential running mate William Weld.

The man was not just a signatory but a main chairman on the Council on Foreign Relations’ North American Union document, and he has personally described Hillary as an “old friend” he used to share an office with when they were investigating Watergate together where they formed a “lifelong bond” (see video below).

Now he’s also talking like Hillary when it comes to “scary” guns.

Via Red Alert Politics:

“The five-shot rifle, that’s a standard military rifle; the problem is if you attach a clip to it so it can fire more shells and if you remove the pin so that it becomes an automatic weapon, and those are independent criminal offenses,” Weld said. “That is when they become, essentially a weapon of mass destruction. The problem with handguns probably is even worse than the problem of the AR15.”

Weld also said he believed no one on a terrorist watch list should be allowed to purchase guns, even though, as the Huffington Post pointed out, it isn’t too hard for an innocent person to end up on the list.

Not exactly a very pro-freedom position from the Libertarian Party.

Indeed.

As Bearing Arms put it:

So according to Weld, I can take an old military rifle like a Mosin Nagant… attach clips to it… pull a pin… and then it will turn into a chemical, biological or radioactive weapon capable of causing widespread death and destruction.

Yep. Sounds like Weld wants to pander fear liberal left-style and destroy the 2nd Amendment just as much as his lifelong pal Hillary does.
