Living in the DC area, Chris Matthews has surely been stuck in traffic more than once behind someone sporting the classic NRA bumper sticker: "If Guns Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Have Guns." Was Chris was listening too intently to NPR to consider the the truth of that pithy aphorism? You might think so, considering his anti-gun rant that seemed to assume that criminals, rather than law-abiding citizens, will obey restrictions on gun ownership.

On this evening's Hardball, riffing off Mitt Romney's Second Amendment defense during last night's GOP debate, Chris took aim at National Review's Deroy Murdock, a Giuliani backer.

Matthews: “I want people disarmed” ping to Today show list.

I don’t have to read it, I’ve heard the idiotic rants from the left to many times. The bastards are delusional.

“MATTHEWS: You know what I think? In big cities they ought to check people on sidewalks like getting on airplanes. And why an airplane should be safer than an American sidewalk is crazy to me. Why you can walk down the sidewalk of an American city carrying a concealed weapon without a license is wacky.”

This is actually how many leftists think, the government must be involved in EVERYTHING.

I think this country is clearly heading towards civil war.

Come and take it Chrissy. I dare you.

[Graybeard58]

He’s a liberal faggot, what do you expect?

[B Knotts]

Chris Matthews is a fascist.

[chaos_5]

Matthews, come and get my guns. I dare you! =P

[rsflynn]

Wow, that sucks, he may actually sway the opinions of the three people that watch his show.

“I want people disarmed”

Now isn't that just special?

I have fixed the channel selector on my TV to skip MSNBC when I'm surfing. The sight and sound of any of the left wing whacko personalities which are usually featured turn my stomach and often enrage me.

Why a law abiding citizen is required to have a license is the wacky part to me.

Matthews Machine-Guns 2nd Amendment: 'I Want People Disarmed'

[Bahbah]

They’re just dumb. They don’t think. They feel.

A law abiding citizen with a gun (and some regular practice at the range) versus a criminal with a gun. I am so okay with that.

In the post-debate discussion and interviews last night Matthews was screaming out his questions and had the spittle flying at Mitt over his 2nd Amend answer to Huck.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Great idea. “The Department Of Homeland Security recommends that, due to increased security, you should arrive 2 to 3 hours before you are scheduled to use your sidewalk.”

[Ramius]

Ironic, since he accuses Bush of some phantom list of rights that have been “lost”... And here he wants checkpoints on streetcorners.

[Waco]

Victims have no rights, just ask Chris.

What I don't understand is, why someone hasn't pummeled the shit out of this bellicose sack of gas before now. He must hide inside the studio all day, and take rear exits out of the building. As repugnant as he is, all he'd have to do on the street is push the button of one Joe Six-Pack with his left-wing belligerence, and a crowd would be on him like ants on a crippled moth. He's the only person in American politics and/or media that I can think of that could inspire an insurrectionist mob mentality simply by virtue of their presence. Arrogant thug.
