Filmmaker Michael Moore continues calls for the Second Amendment to be repealed: 'You don't need a gun'
Fox News ^ | June 10, 2022 | Brian Flood

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore is calling for the Second Amendment to be repealed and sharing his theory for how to successfully remove "nearly every gun from civilian ownership."

"We need to start a movement to repeal the Second Amendment and replace it with something that says it’s not about the right of somebody to own a gun, it’s the right of all of us to be protected from gun violence," Moore said Friday on his podcast.

"We have a right to live," he said. "If you’re afraid of somebody breaking in, get a dog… you don't need a gun."

Moore began the latest installment of his "Rumble" podcast by reminding listeners that he appeared on MSNBC and urged the media to call for an end to the Second Amendment the night of the mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. He said he stayed away from speaking out after mass shootings for a decade because his 2002 documentary "Bowling for Columbine" made him everyone’s go-to voice to speak out after school shootings, and he didn’t want such appearances to become the new normal.

He decided to join MSNBC following the Uvalde massacre because "making a film that I thought would end this didn’t work" and staying off TV wasn’t forcing change, either.

"I thought, I have to be completely honest with people, and so I said it, I said something that I know the Democratic Party leaders and others don’t want, they don’t want this said, but I believe a majority of Americans are thinking it, a lot of people are afraid to say it. I’m going to say it," Moore said. "I said it that night, live on television."

There is a process to add and repeal amendments to the Constitution. To repeal the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights would not only be unprecedented, but have about as much chance as an ice cube in hell of passing the amendment process. Given the special nature of the Bill of Rights I would question whether it could be amended. Imagine trying to repeal or modify the First Amendment.

“Filmmaker” and Michael Moore should never be used in the same sentence.
He has the same standing to lecture about depriving us of a Constitutionally Enumerated right as the local corner crack addict.
And just as much credibility!

Next time Fat Mikey is up here in vacation land, I’ll try to sidle up to his massive body and see what his security shows me.

Anyone have a bodycam they can lend me? The ol’ GoPro on the helmet look is so 90s!

Michael, I need another gun to fondle. Much as you would fondle a case of Hostess Twinkes before slowly unwrapping and consuming each one ….

Not possible. They don't have guns either.

“… you don’t need a gun.”


I, for one, find it tiresome that people who don’t know me presume to tell me what I ‘need’. It’s not their place.

amend = a[to] + mend

It doesn’t simply mean change.

I suspect I’ll need a mortar or ‘smart’ shell howitzer.

I’ll make a revolver similar to the original Colt, if necessary, plus a few extra, each week.

A Deringer type gun can be useful too.

And a simplified straight barrel blunderbuss is also possible to make.

That police response in Uvalde says Mr. Moore has too much faith in the police.

I visited Los Angeles in 1987 and was amazed by the number of private armed response signs.

Luckily, it takes 67% of the Senate and House and 38 states to make that work. Then it would be left to each state as to how to handle the issue in that state.

Moore has never been anything but a blowhard.
