Guns don’t kill people, the Constitution kills people, at least according to Karl Rove, Republican strategist and architect of George W. Bush’s election and reelection as president. Rove, speaking on Fox News Sunday, and in the wake of the South Carolina church massacre, embraced the liberal mantra that there are too many guns on the street and went a step further and a step too far, saying the way to avoid more such tragedies is to repeal the Second Amendment and its guarantee of our right to keep and bear arms:
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.

That's a very tough choice, but I'm going to have to go with......Second Amendment!
Video of Rove saying it on Fox News.
It isn't about the guns!
>> let’s not distort what he said <<
Oh, c’mon. Don’t be trying to take away our fun!
Amazing isn’t it how some people are willing to ignore what Rove said!
Wow, somebody who actually read what he said and understood it.
I’m very impressed!
Stating that A is necessary for B to happen is not necessarily saying that you are in favor of A.
If I note that the only way to largely eliminate gun violence is to get rid of guns, I’m stating a fact.
Do you disagree? Or do you have a magical method by which we can have guns widely available yet prevent bad people from misusing them?
BTW, I’m not a fan of Rove, and I think what he said was poorly worded. But he’s simply not calling for repeal of the 2nd Amendment.
BTW, campaigning for amendment of the Constitution is a perfectly American thing to do. The Founders provided for it.
What is unAmerican is to ignore or reinterpret out of existence the plain meaning of the Constitution.
Bush’s brain!
Bush was sort of like Grant, in that he seemed to surround himself with less than stellar personnel.
Rove, thank you for revealing your true colors: domestic enemy of the constitution.
I don’t recall Rove stating that “crime would cease”. I think his point was that without a constitutional Ammendment a gun grab would be illegal. And, his inference was (he should have stated) was thereby it ain’t gonna happen.
