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.

He forgets that the 2A was to protect us from people like him and his one world cronies. But We The People have not forgotten why the 2A is there.

Yes, the bangers would use their guns before turning them in. Just what makes morons like Rove think 40 million of us WON’T?

Karl Rove must be going senile because he admitted how he really feels about citizens having guns and being armed.

Karl wasn’t supposed to say this until AFTER Jeb is elected.

“All the elites have to do is pay them to turn in their guns, and they’ll do it.”

All they do is turn in the guns they’ve committed crimes with. They keep their backups.

> 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?

are you kidding? Liberals don't think beyond knee-jerk reactions.

"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."

-- George Washington

Man. Tough call. Karl Rove or George Washington?

Would The United States even exist if Karl Rove was our first President instead of George Washington?

Where are the D-Bags who keep saying we have to elect the liberal-repubs or the liberal-dems will win?

Your “lesser of two evils” is still liberal!

On this thread here

“What gun law would have prevented Dylann Roof from murdering 9 people?” 6/18/15 | Self Posted on June 18, 2015 at 6:09:57 PM PDT by Blood of Tyrants http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3301785/posts

the same question was posed.

Many people responded the same way. The only way to prevent all the shootings is to take away all guns. But we know on this board this would be completely unacceptable. The 2nd amendment is a God given right to self defense and corporate defense. This can never be taken away. Therefore, there is no way to prevent “this” type of tragedy.

See the thread above for good discussion on this topic.
