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 dont think theres 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 weve 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 weve come a long way.rWhat do you think?
Now maybe theres 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, thats not going to happen.

Dear God.
No, Karl, the only way to stop violence is to repeal people.
People are violent.
Guns aren’t anything.
“Im glad we no longer have to endure those ridiculous, Karl you magnificent bastard! posts.”
Rove is a myth. He barely won an election in 2000 and if it wasn’t for the Swift Boaters in 2004, he would have lost one.
His recent wholesale failures regarding his PAC illustrate this further.
There....fixed it.
GOP-E = Democrats in drag!
Um no. If you needed any more proof about the globalist intentions of the uniparty, this should suffice.
I remember reading that gun sales have quadrupled since Obama took office. Some of us know enough history to recognize that disarming the people, as they did in Germany, leads to tyranny. Our founding fathers were pretty smart and we’d better wise up and stay that way.
GO AWAY Karl
The worst school killing in American history was the Bath Michigan school bombing back in the 1920s and it wasn’t done with a gun.
Andrew Kehoe killed 38 elementary school children and six adults and injured at least 58 other people.
Sick of hearing about this. Tragedy yes by all means. Was the kid a mental nutcase , yes he was.
To use this for gun control and to take down a battle flag which had nothing to do with it makes me sick and how many blacks died this weekend in Chicago and other cities? What no outcry from the media there, how about the 9 people being shot in Detroit this weekend with a baby being hurt in it.
Not a frigging peep from the media or the left.
No, Rove would have sold us to the Brits and laughed all the way to the bank.
“But we still have to vote for the lesser evil! The robots on FR tell me so.”
Exactly. That’s the recipe for having such fine “stalwarts” as Boehner, McConnell, Cornyn, Ryan, McCain, Romney and so on.
Just say that you believe that Jeb Bush is a loser and see how fast the Establishment supporting pukes try to tear you a new one.
I have had it with these morons.
I would find it so very refreshing to hear somebody say that GOD, CONSTITUTION and AMERICANS are their top priorities, rather than Party considerations.
I owe NO ALLEGIANCE to ANY Politician or Political Party.
"We live in a rural area where law enforcement is no always close. Why do you persist in denying us the right to protect ourselves and our home?"
Repealing doesn’t remove the right, it just makes the federal government of that time illegitimate.
Cain used an Uzi?
You can deposit that into the bank and draw interest on that.
Funny how another article about Rove’s appearance doesn’t mention anything about the second amendment.

Agreed! Vote for Jebbie & you get Rove.
Of course, Rove’s not stupid. He knows repealing an amendment requires passing another amendment, and anyway the 2nd is in the Bill of Rights which is impregnable to any repeal, so.....just what in the H*** was Rove thinking? Not even Diane Feinstein calls for repealing the 2nd even though she said “Mr. & Mrs. America, turn them all in!!”
Here’s a thought worth savoring: let us hope that Ted Cruz has Rove’s remarks on his radar & either challenges Rove to a debate, or else gives a ringing declaration of support for the 2nd Amendment backed up by the full force of his Constitutional knowledge.
CRUZ or lose in 2016!
I don’t trust Rove but the headline is misleading.
Karl Rove: speaker for all demonRATS and RINOS...because he doesn’t have enough sense to keep his mouth shut.....
