Karl Rove: Only Way To Stop The Violence Is To Repeal Second Amendment
dailycaller.com ^ | 6/21/15 | Christian Datoc

Posted on 06/21/2015 7:37:03 AM PDT by cotton1706

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.

Rove is as looney as the rest of his RINO pals. They all want to forget that strict parenting is the key. But since they want to protect kids from their parents more than the problem kids...so goes the problem.

Traitors will not stop with the 2nd Amendment but will get rid of the rest of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution while they are at it.

I believe Norway leads the world in rampage violence. We are fourth after, I think, Denmark and Israel.

After they repeal the 2nd Amendment, there will still be problems. Then, to stop Internet and talk radio “hate,” they will need to repeal the 1st Amendment.

I say, repeal the “Republican Party.”

I have never cared for this white tote board toting Republicrat! No Jebs, no Santorums, no Christies.

As far as the rest of the field is concerned, I’ve been a Walker supporter, but the more I think about it Trump may trump everyone.

He’s not saying getting rid of guns...by getting rid of the second amendment. He’s saying you’d have to rewrite the amendment. I can imagine some fake foundation group standing there and saying that six-round pistols and hunting rifles would be acceptable...but nothing automatic. A month into this new phase....some guy would shoot down forty people with a six-round pistol, and then we’d have to suggest a one-round pistol as being the only acceptable thing...except some idiot could have forty pistols lined up and shoot another forty people the next month....just to prove a point.

Even with all the rules that exist in Germany....about every eighteen months....there’s a mass shooting of some type. With massive rules....people still find a way to get around rules or laws.

The point being is it is ridiculous to think murder will suddenly cease if guns are banned.

Stopping murder is not his/their goal. Never was, never will be. Murder is their favorite wedge issue.

How well can free men discourage and protect themselves from tyranny with machetes and knives? Now ask the same question about guns.

During this morning’s Sunday School sermon; my pastor said that ‘people here have never trusted Democrats, but nowadays, they shouldn’t trust Republicans, either’.

“No the best way is to stop Obama and Soros from staging these false flag events”

Interesting. So do you think that the people killed were actors?

It seems to be a lot more logical that a crazy kid killed those people than Obama was behind it. There is no doubt that the MSM “oversensationalize” it.

I see guns in the same category of padlocks.

My dad used to tell me that padlocks won’t stop thieves, only keep honest people honest.

Guns are mostly good for keeping honest people alive.....and governments honest.

Is the constitution a living document or a dying document?

” 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?”

I think that there will be a last minute change with who will get the Communist Party nomination. It’s going to be Julian Castro, the current mayor of San Antonio.

And, yes, the GOP Establishment won’t mind one little bit. They currently enjoy all of the trappings, perks and benefits that their positions offer and have NO accountability or responsibility at all. Karl Rove will make his millions even when Jeb is trashed in the polls.

Our 19 April, 1775 moment is rapidly approaching. Be prepared.

The neighborhood I work in, is so dangerous after dark that the cops won't come in at night except they arrive with three or more officers. Heck one day a mob threw rocks at firefighters because they wanted to watch it burn.

When Karl lives in an area like that for two years then come tell me about the 2nd A....

Rove has just become a permanent, incorrigible ass in my book. His name shall never be deleted from it.
