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 the best way is to stop Obama and Soros from stagin these events and having the MSM oversensationalize it when its a black victim but say nothing at all upif the same happens to a white victim.
Yeah! At least Jeb will let us borrow guns for hunting, as long as we return them back to the state when we're done! With Hillary, we can't even do that!
Do you right-wing purists really want Hillary to win?
This needs to be on top of the Breaking News sidebar.
Clever sarcasm, almost fell for it. :)
Agreed. Karl is now showing himself for who he really is (like we did not know about that already). BTW Karl, why don’t you try to have a discussion about this issue with John Lott? 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.
Does it not occur to these a$$holes that the perpetrator of this horrible event is probably smiling and feeling legitimized because all of this gesture talk and soundbytes gave him what he was looking for for doing this?
As we all know, you cannot “remove guns from society”. You can remove guns from the law-abiding segment of society, but those who have no regard or respect for the law (criminals & the deranged and the despotic) will always find a way to obtain them and use them against the unarmed populace.
Obama has done us all a favor - he has so abused his authority, given the finger to the Constitution and abused the rule of law, that people who otherwise thought “this couldn’t happen to us in America” are now knowing “oh yes it can” and have been & continue to arm themselves for the day of reckoning between the 2nd Amendment/freedom and the gun grabbers who are attempting to deprive us of all freedoms and impose a totalitarian, dictatorship of a government that is sure to follow if they succeed.
Karl you ignorant slut. 2A merely explicitly recognizes the intrinsic right to bear arms every citizen has. A government that attempts to remove this recognition is just admitting they are a tyranny; the right to bear arms can no more be removed than can the right to free speech.
We know where you stand, Karl. Noted.
I’m glad we no longer have to endure those ridiculous, “Karl you magnificent bastard!” posts.
No the best way is to stop Obama and Soros from staging these false flag events and having the MSM oversensationalize it when its a black victim but say nothing at all if the same happens to a white victim.
Better late than never.
Please, you must be aware that all of the guns in Mexico come from the USA, so if we are disarmed it will consequently eliminate all the gun violence in Mexico too! And pigs fly, islam is a religion of peace, bathhouse barry is a heterosexual, ........I was going to make a reference to moochelle, but that would just get the post pulled.
Rove is not supporting or opposing the Second Amendment here, just saying it will stand or fall based on public opinion.
Rove thinks if the political circumstances are right, the 2A will go down.
No principles involved which is Rove’s MO in the end.
This tells us a lot about the Bushes and the GOPe.
Actually, that's incorrect. The gangbangers and felons are easier to control than law-abiding whites. Notice the gun buyback programs in the inner-cities. All the elites have to do is pay them to turn in their guns, and they'll do it.
A few years ago in Brooklyn New York, a black man burned alive an elderly black woman in an elevator with a homemade flamethrower. Needless to say she died. This is what happens when thugs can’t get guns.

Would Rove prefer flamethrowers, machetes, bombs, cars, knives, to guns? The point being is it is ridiculous to think murder will suddenly cease if guns are banned.
Repealing the Second Amendment means Obummer’s Gestapo is coming.
I was dumb enough to listen to them in the past but no more. I am fed up with both parties. They are the same with a few exceptions
