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.”

“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!”

Imagine Keith on Point when he and Xiden’s Jack Booted Defenders of Democracy come to break down your front door.

“Keith Olbermann the Less Nessman of news.”

If Les Nessman,Ted Baxter,and Ron Burgundy were leftist.

We naturally have the right to keep and bear arms. The Constitution is at best only a guarantee that the Government will not infringe on that right. Olbermann is an idiot.

And the fact is the government has infringed on that right and in a number of laws one of the recent ones still in force was signed by Reagan.
