Karl Rove: Only Way To Stop The Violence Is To Repeal Second Amendment
dailycaller.com ^ | 6/21/15 | Christian Datoc

Posted on 06/21/2015 7:37:03 AM PDT by cotton1706

Republican strategist Karl Rove said on “Fox News Sunday” the only way to stop gun-related violence, like the Wednesday massacre at Emmanuel African Methodist Church in Charleston S.C., was to repeal American citizens’ Second Amendment rights.rWhat do you think?

When Chris Wallace asked Rove how we can, “stop the violence,” the long-time gun-rights advocate stated that we have made great strides as a nation in empathizing with the victims of these types of shootings, but the only way to guarantee they will stop is to “remove guns from society.”r1

WALLACE: How do we stop the violence?rWhat do you think?

ROVE: I wish I had an easy answer for that, but I don’t think there’s an easy answerrWhat do you think?

We saw an act of evil. Racist, bigoted evil, and to me the amazing thing is that it was met with grief and love. Think about how far we’ve come since 1963. The whole weight of the government throughout the South was to impede finding and holding and bringing to justice the men who perpetrated the [Birmingham] bombing.rWhat do you think?

And here, we saw an entire state, an entire community, an entire nation come together, grieving as one and united in the belief that this was an evil act, so we’ve come a long way.rWhat do you think?

Now maybe there’s some magic law that will keep us from having more of these. I mean basically the only way to guarantee that we will dramatically reduce acts of violence involving guns is to basically remove guns from society, and until somebody gets enough “oomph” to repeal the Second Amendment, that’s not going to happen.

The GOP doing what it does best.

SSDD.
Helping Obama’s Tyranny and lies
on ObamaCARE, ObamaCARE, helping arm al Qaeda,
and —of course— gutting the US Constitution.

They REALLY do value their second-tier comforted power more than their nation. I’d have not thought this but we are at a point in this country now where our mistaken icons of the past are nothing more than appeasing traitors. All for the sake of potential power, money and control. It is truly disheartening to realize at this point in my life.

Only way to create a nation/culture of victims is to repeal the 2nd Amendment. But, of course, that is the real goal.

Notice they never talk about taking the guns from the gangs, drug dealers etc.

Does Mexico have a Second Amendment? What’s the level of violence there?

If they want their ranks thinned out, this is a good step.

I always knew there was something I didn’t like about this guy. Now I know what it is. Typical elitist, progressive, communist tyrant at heart. If in fact he said that, I will use the remote on him just like I do on all the Bolshevik communist trash.

“Notice they never talk about taking the guns from the gangs, drug dealers etc.”

And you know why. Because if they ever approached them to do so, they would be shot dead!

I was speaking with one of my liberal friends over the weekend. He said assault rifles are designed to kill as many people as possible and they should be banned.

I asked him, "How come the police have assault rifles?"

Deer in the headlight look.

The monumental ignorance of political hacks. Rove like his fellow parasites studiously avoids reading and understanding the decisive research of John Lott indicating the salutary effect on public safety of widespread provisions for carriage of firearms.
