Bill 'The Second Amendment Is BS' Maher: 'I Ain’t Giving Up My Gun'

Bill Maher on Friday once again exposed himself as a total hypocrite.

Minutes after telling his HBO Real Time panel "the Second Amendment is bulls--t," he admitted having two firearms in his house - "one upstairs and one down" - claiming, "As long as we live in the gun country, I ain’t giving up my gun" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

MAHER: I say all the time on this show, as long as we live in the gun country, I ain’t giving up my gun.

S.E. CUPP: There you go.

MAHER: There have been twelve home invasions in my neighborhood in the last year.

CUPP: Of course you want one.

SORKIN: You have a gun?

S.E. CUPP: Of course he has a gun.

MAHER: I have two guns.

ZACH GALIFANAKIS: He's carrying one now.

MAHER: One upstairs and one down.

MOORE: How often do you go to a shooting range to practice?

MAHER: Few times a year.

They’ll happily consign you to prey status, but heaven help anyone who dares to hold them to their own standards.

Laws are for the serfs, not the masters.

If the current IRS scandals coupled with EPA, DOJ, DHS abuses are not enough to demonstrate to everyone that this is EXACTLY the reason for the 2nd Amendment, then I don’t know if it would ever be possible to enlighten them.

We are living under a rogue regime with no limits on their power other than what Thomas Jefferson knew would happen, told us about, and gave us the solution.

Outlawing guns will get rid of guns the same way outlawing drugs got rid of drugs, Bill.

If you take away guns from law-abiding citizens, Bill, we will still be a "gun country," it's just that law-abiding citizens will no longer have them.

Are you, or are you not, a law-abiding citizen, Bill?

Laws, like taxes, are for “the little people”.

Bill Maher is b******t. If he had any brains he would realize that this is a gun planet. You can’t un-invent the idea of combining a tube and propellant with a projectile.

What does 'gun country' have to do with Maher's home invasions? How many of these invasions actually involved an intruder with a gun? Does Maher throw his gun out the window if he finds out his home intruder is armed with a knife?

If not, why does he think any other American should not be able to protect himself or herself? It's not like home invasions only happen to smarmy Hollywood hooker-magnets.

Libs only talk about how everyone else should live-it never applies to them.
