Keith Olbermann: ‘Holy’ Second Amendment ‘does NOT’ authorize gun ownership

Keith Olbermann owned himself on Twitter.

The left-wing former ESPN and MSNBC commentator unveiled a novel argument for the constitutionality of gun control — that the Second Amendment doesn’t use the word “own.”

~~SNIP~~

“Consider again the holy Second Amendment to the Constitution and ask yourself this question. Why doesn’t the 2nd Amendment have the word ‘own’ in it? Why does it not say the right to own guns or a synonym for own?” he asked sarcastically before reciting the existing amendment.

It says “‘keep and bear’ … not ‘own.’ ‘Keep’ doesn’t mean ‘own’; ‘bear’ doesn’t mean ‘own,’” he said to his close-up camera.

In his tweet promoting the video he declared that “the 2nd Amendment does NOT authorize gun OWNERSHIP!”

How are you suppose to keep and bear them other than ownership? Does he suggest the government purchase and assign everyone a gun?

Forget it, Keith.

There are more firearms in the 50 states than there are human beings.

Your Fake News corporate masters want a civil war. Don’t help them achieve it.

It's hilarious to watch these pathetic retreads and their attempts to stay relevant.

Go away Keith, nobody even knows who you are anymore.

Gee Keith, maybe because the gun rental industry was all the rage in 18th century America.

What a maroon!

He has long reminded me of an obnoxious bar fly, who when he gets a few drinks down turns into a hate filled blathering pest.

How does he think people obtain firearms — by renting them from Hertz or checking them out from the library?

Is this chump naturally stupid, or does he have to work at it?

Apparently we can’t own books, printing presses, or houses, either.

Well, of course not.
It prevents the government from infringing on your right to own weapons.

Psychotic schmuck. He’s the last person who needs to be ‘owning’ a gun. He’d probably injure himself with a cap pistol. (Hmmmmmm........*strokes chin whiskers*)

Put Keith, the two Brians, O’Donnell, and Madcow in a room together, and you might achieve a 100 IQ total.
