Bill Maher Tears Into Liberals For Not Standing Up On Guns: Too Afraid To Say ‘2nd Amendment Is BS’
Mediaite ^ | 10:58 pm, April 12th, 2013 | Josh Feldman

Bill Maher opened up the panel discussion on his show tonight talking about recent developments on gun control in the Senate.

He lamented how liberals have basically conceded the gun argument to the center-right, saying that liberals to a certain degree also indulge in the “fetishization” of guns, and declaring that someone on the left needs to stand up and say that the “Second Amendment is b—s—.” …

… Former Reagan budget director David Stockman found it amusing that anyone would think having an “18th century citizen militia” armed with muskets somehow has “anything to do with liberty.” He said that the “real shield for liberty” is the first amendment, not the second. …

Owning one(so called assault rifle) has become a political statement. I want one for political reasons.

Looks like this Bill Maher fellow is saying the Constitution is BS. Lets see how he would like to get rid of Number 1, and the others. Lets see if he likes no Free Speech.

If you really want to get rid of the 2nd amendment..there is a legal method.
Pass an amendment and get all the states to ratify it. I dare you.

The 2nd Amendment makes all the others possible.

Hey, if somebody wants to get rid of the 2nd, I say let’s ditch the whole Bill of Rights and all the Amendments.

Let us just see how well that goes over. I’m with Mark Levin, if those idjits in DC want to get rid of the 2nd, they can put it to a vote of the states. Anything else is illegal and those richardheads know it.

Bill Maher also whined that even Gabby Giffords still says that she supports the second amendment.

Is he just pissed off that people like Giffords, Obama, Biden, Schumer and the rest of the statists still pay lip service to the second amendment to sucker the idiots while they blatantly violate the very amendment they claim to support?

He just wants them to come clean and state, outright, that the serfs need to be disarmed?

I have one in .223.....now I want one in .308, the original AR caliber. Eugene Stoner developed the AR to be used with .308 but the Army downsized the gun in the 50’s.

With stories like these, do people still wonder why there is a shortage of guns and ammo?

email,
air travel,
motor travel,
moving homes,
internet,
video tape,

all that is covered by the constitution despite not being around in 1783...

buuuuuuuuuuttttttt the second is only allowed to be about muskets?

marh is just a medium for the echo chamber of the far left.

The second amendment is the message and the medium. We the people means we the people, not the 911 operator chewing gum at the other end of the telephone.
