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.

Please tell that nonsense to the countries that have done exactly that. What did they get in return, higher crime rates. Criminals will get guns regardless, it the height of arrogance and hypocrisy of people like Rove and the those on the Left to think they can take away anyone’s right to bear arms and think that all crime will magically go away.

As if that would stop someone from blowing Rove’s brains out for being such a douchebag.

Such attempts or efforts by people to repeal the Second Amendment should be regarded and dealt with as giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

I just want to point out that Obamacare was brought to you nothing but Democrats.
Not a single Republican vote was cast for that mess.
And I know there are some liberal Republicans in the batch.

In other words the party that Karl Rove supports is not for Obamacare or gun control and he knows it,Now even if he is 100% for gun control you will not hear him call for a change in the second amendment because he know such an effort would fail.People forget as a pundit he is now paid to say things....so he has to say something

I would like him to clarify further but I see nothing in his statement that tells me he is advocating anything.

What Norm really wanted to say was that FR has been infiltrated by conservatives and conservatives make libertarians and Anti’s look kookie.

No, what Norm really wanted to say would get him banned. So Norm toned it down considerably.

Far from me to want to defend Rove, but in watching the program, he ended that awkward statement with a disclaimer to defer the desire to repeal to those liberals that emphatically want to repeal the 2nd Amendment.

FNC along with all other news, has done the bend over backwards, pandering, to tell the world they are not sympathetic to anything race or gun. Their contention is that this insane kid (who should have never been given or sold a gun) overshadows and nullifies the reality of black crime and riots in McKinney, Ferguson and Baltimore.

But we still have to vote for the lesser evil!

More important, we are simply not that willing to go all 1776 on the greater evil. That may be our downfall.

Drudge just picked this up and has the link on the right column near the top.

Wait for Tokyo Rove to clarify his anti Second Amendment remarks. If he doesn’t, he will have effectively killed his career as a GOP political consultant. He will be too toxic to have around (at least publicly), even for the RINO presidential candidates.

.... and repealed by NONE of them.

It is not enough to not vote for an evil thing. One must fight evil things.

I would like him to clarify further but I see nothing in his statement that tells me he is advocating anything.

Then age has dimmed your vision.

Here, I will reprint the clear conclusion any man or woman must come to. I will do so in a larger font, perhaps you will see it this time.

He said, and I quote: "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."

He's SUPPORTING the liberal argument that to reduce gun violence, you have to remove guns from society.

He's LEAVING OUT that there are many other forms of violence that do not involve guns. He's LEAVING OUT that more times than not guns are PROTECTING lives. He's LEAVING OUT that other countries with absolute gun bans still have mass shootings.

He's gone ALL IN on the liberal argument.
Let me know if you need me to make it bigger still.

He's signalling that Obama can simply issue an Executive Order, ordering confiscation...

And Obama would be dead or under arrest within 48 hours. If not, then we do not deserve freedom.

Keep in mind Freepers... THIS IS THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT/GLOBALIST that are LEADING the Republican party in Washington DC.

The Establishment Republicans are DE-CLOAKING, to use a Star Trek analogy..., and showing their TRUE COLORS.

Rats like Karl ROVE... Thinks RIGHTS come from Government and not our Creator... God.

That’s how confident the Establishment/Globalist have become. They no longer fear or hid in the dark.

One thing for sure. All these Establishment/Globalist Candidates need to be pointed out this election. We may need to define what is a Establishment/Globalist candidate for all those that are not really sure. How to quickly recognize them. Ditto the Establishment media.

This are the positions of Establishment/Globalist (made up of both Democrats and Republicans)

1) They are for open Borders and unlimited immigration

2) They are for Carbon Taxes (aka Global Warming/Climate Change)

3) They are for taking all the guns.

4) They say they are for Rights unless it’s gets in their way. Hence, 2nd Amendment , 4th Amendment, 5th Amendment, 1st Amendment and 10th Amendment.

5) They are for so called, “Free Trade” where the United States STILL PAYS TARIFFS while at the very same time the other countries in the trade deal FREE LOAD AND PAY NO TARIFFS. How is that for fair?
