In the wake of the Parkland school shooting, Florida liberals pushed a gun control bill they claimed was specifically to ban AR-15s and other military-looking weapons. The legislation was lauded by the liberal media, and when the Republican-controlled legislature voted not to have a debate on the bill, they went gaga over images of crying teens. But the panel on HLN’s S.E. Cupp Unfiltered read through the bill, and on Monday, they announced that it was designed to ban even hunting weapons.

“They pitched this as an assault weapons ban. It was really targeted. And, in fact, there is like eight pages of guns that are banned in this bill, including some hunting rifles, including some shotguns, including some pistols,” Cupp, who was also an NRA member, exposed, after noting how “the left and the media” were “putting guns in their crosshairs 24/7.”

Cupp was talking to conservative radio host Ben Ferguson, who was greatly concerned about how broad the ban would have been. “The scariest part about that bill was the shotgun part, and I wrote it down because it was amazing to me. ‘All the following shotguns, copies, duplicates or altered,’” he read. According to him, the ban would be so complete that his fowl hunting shotgun could possibly be included.

“But why should we ever believe any lawmaker who says ‘we're not coming for all your guns,’” Cupp asked Senior Producer Andy Levy. “Oh. You absolutely shouldn't. But what I always love about this they say it is common sense regulation, you know,” he responded. “What that's going to do is turn a whole bunch of people into felons because, as you said, there are legitimate hunting reasons for having their rifles.”

Levy expertly pointed out that “basically regulat[ing] semi-automatic rifles out of existence” was “generally the only acceptable position in the media.”

“There are multiple guns on that list that are now, they say, I should not be able to own or should not be able to buy,” Ferguson explained further. “[If] I’m just a normal gun owner who is a hunter, I read that and I’m immediately going to go to my corner because you lied to me, you told me you were not going to take my guns.”

“And stuff like this proves them right,” Cupp exclaimed while holding up a copy of the failed Florida bill.

After Ferguson declared the Florida legislation a “bait and switch lie. And you can show it and prove it every time.” Cupp unleashed on the media for spreading lies about the bill’s intentions due to their profound ignorance about guns:

Totally. And the media isn't savvy enough because I saw a lot of people in the media when this bill was being discussed. The media isn’t gun savvy enough to know that. I talked to some reporter and anchors who hadn't read it and still went on the air and insisted this is just going after military-style assault weapons.”

“That is not true. That is not true. That was a lie. That was a lie,” Cupp repeated, possibly talking to her parent network CNN who pompously declares “facts first” at every opportunity.
