Rand Paul Absolutely Humiliates Whoopi On The View Leaving Her Speechless Rand Paul made a guest appearance on The View, where he got into some intense discussions with Whoopi on the topic of gun control. Of course, Whoopi came out firing with her opinion to get rid of all automatic weapons. Automatic weapons, theyre not for hunting. They do nothing. Theyre only there to kill. And youll notice that a lot of things that have happened, have happened with automatic weapons, Goldberg said. What we have is not automatic weapons, Paul said. Its semi-automatic. So they fire in a fairly fast sequence, but you cant pull the trigger and they come like a machine gun. Those are no longer out there. But the other problem is, if we take ownership away of specific types of guns, you really have to modify. Something that big has to be either legislation or possibly a Constitutional amendment.
