Republican strategist Karl Rove said on “Fox News Sunday” the only way to stop gun-related violence, like the Wednesday massacre at Emmanuel African Methodist Church in Charleston S.C., was to repeal American citizens’ Second Amendment rights.rWhat do you think?
When Chris Wallace asked Rove how we can, “stop the violence,” the long-time gun-rights advocate stated that we have made great strides as a nation in empathizing with the victims of these types of shootings, but the only way to guarantee they will stop is to “remove guns from society.”r1
WALLACE: How do we stop the violence?rWhat do you think?
ROVE: I wish I had an easy answer for that, but I don’t think there’s an easy answerrWhat do you think?
We saw an act of evil. Racist, bigoted evil, and to me the amazing thing is that it was met with grief and love. Think about how far we’ve come since 1963. The whole weight of the government throughout the South was to impede finding and holding and bringing to justice the men who perpetrated the [Birmingham] bombing.rWhat do you think?
And here, we saw an entire state, an entire community, an entire nation come together, grieving as one and united in the belief that this was an evil act, so we’ve come a long way.rWhat do you think?
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.

No, this is the way to see real violence and the rush to a violent civil war with millions dead.
Karl Rove is the worst thing to happen to Republicans. A charlatan who wormed his way in with no actual success other than blind luck.
Ignore this fool.
Bull Shit
His response is telling liberals that nothing will change.
He is not saying that he is in favor of or will try to get rid of the second amendment. He is saying there is no magic solution to nuts with guns.
Rove is also pointing out that things are better and we don’t need a race war like liberals are calling for.
If I was most all of the politicians in the US, this would be the first thing I would support also. As they keep the US on a trajectory to the bottom, they know what happens when it gets there.
Agreed. Once they get rid of the Second Amendment, there would be nothing left to stop the Traitors and would be dictators from taking away the rest of our Constitutional Freedoms.
The Second Amendment in a way guarentees the rest of the Bill of Rights. That is the underlying reason for the elites wanting to get rid of the Second Amendment in my opinion - so they can then strip us of our remaining Constitutional rights without fear of assination or armed rebellion/civil war.
I believe Lowland Ape is the preferred designation and that's what got me in trouble before. Oh well.
>With pleasure, he would most likely enlighten you with the main commonality that mass shootings have is that they take place where guns are banned and that this has happened in Europe and Canada as well as the United States.<
Most assuredly, guns are not banned in Charleston, SC. That said, Karl Rove needs to be met with his most recent statement from now on, until he slinks off the political stage in disgrace.
is it true that Rove’s PACS are going to support Walker? If that’s true, and I’m Walker, I hate to hear this.
Rove is another example that “all lives are precious” is a myth.
Want to stop most of the violence? Let me be charge of the punishment...eye for an eye and then more. Our problem is that we are to sympathetic to the criminal. Make them fear the punishment if they are caught. Pain and agony at least matching that of the victim.
He is in my book too!!
That’s a great quote. I wish that he had actually said it.
As they say, had the Jews been armed Soros wouldn’t be calling his time spent with the Nazis taking Jews property, the happiest time of his life.
I was just thinking along those lines. With the appropriate software, a laptop, a 3D printer and a milling machine, one could fabricate any firearm one could desire irregardless of ‘laws’.
I never trusted Rove. The latest riots by out of control criminals proved that more than ever guns are essential for our protection. It is just common sense.
Where is the actual quote? Is this another knee jerk hyped assumption? Propaganda piece?
For the moment I don't see how he can reconcile “Repeal the Second Amendment”? How can can he or any government repeal that which was never granted by government. There is that pesky Constitution that gets in the way. I realize that is a rhetorical question and those with the guns and money make the rules
Watch the back peddling that is going to happen on this one!
Rove is now poison to any candidate!
if repealing the rule will stop the violence, why hasn’t making murder illegal stopped murders?
yep, the header is misleading a bit....he said something close to that, but he was far from advocating it.
