Kimmel slams Trump and Pence for supporting Second Amendment after Texas school shooting
thehill.com ^ | 5/19/17 | Jacqueline Thomsen

ABC talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel called for Americans to vote out politicians who don’t take action on gun laws after the deadly mass shooting at a Texas school on Friday.

“President Trump said that he is with the people of Santa Fe in this tragic moment and that he will be with them forever, except when it’s time to do something and then he will not be with them,” Kimmel said on his show Friday.

“Neither will any of the congresspeople or governors that won’t ever do anything because they fear it will hurt them politically,” he continued.

The late-night host said lawmakers are “too cowardly” to take action because “they care more about the support of the [National Rifle Association] than they do about children.”

”Gun Control” is not about guns. It is about CONTROL.

Jimmy Kimmel is a pillow bitter.

When people guarded by people with guns and live in gated communities that have walls and armed security give that up then I will take them seriously.

Kimmel is a wannabee political activist and political fruitcake currently. They all play “pretend” and need to stay on entertainment not politics. They use to be funny.

Kimmel, who has ARMED GUARDS protecting his previous TV studio, is one to talk about the 2nd Amendment..how about this, let’s ban ALL abortions first..I mean after all, the king of all baby killers is Planned Parenthood

[[he will be with them forever, except when it’s time to do something and then he will not be with them,”]]

Actually Trump is with the people- He’s standing up for their second amendment rights- which is needed now more than ever since we’re facing an increasingly hostile and dangerous young society- Arm teachers- get armed guards- put in metal detectors etc- these are all things Trump is trying to do to RATIONALLY address the problem- but of course kimmel doesn’t mean trump isn’t doing anything- no- he means trump isn’t willing to violate our second amendment rights- and that is unacceptable to people like kimmel who no doubt have the luxury of being protected by armed guards- Kimmel certainly isn’t arguing for his space, his home, the studio etc to be a ‘gun free zones’- oh heck no- so why does he think it’s appropriate for schools to be gun free zones? Does he hate children or something?

Kimmel and people like him are NOT interested in protecting kids- because they ignore any sensible solutions to the problem- they are only interested in disarming law abiding citizens and violating our inalienable right to self defense

Our rights aren't just there for when it is convenient, on a sunny afternoon. They are there and protect us even for the dark times. In fact, I believe the reason the protections of (note, protection of not granting of) our rights are so explicitly spelled out in the Bill of Rights is expressly for these kinds of times - when evil, power-hungry people or even well-meaning but short-sighted people would try to infringe upon them.

Kimmel wants to be relevant, wants to be noticed, and is worried about his ratings. He seems all those people who are making stupid statements getting media attention, and so he jumps on the bandwagon.

I don’t know by whom, or how, or where, but these “school shootings” are being orchestrated. You will have a hard time convincing me otherwise. There’s just been too damn many of them recently when for years you never heard of such things. And their timing has been suspicious, beginning as I believe they have, shortly after the first Obama election.

Yo, Jimmy, you still going around asking girls to feel your crotch and asking them to guess what you have in your pants?
