THIS JUST IN: Franco's still dead.

Appearing on The O'Reilly Factor last night, Florida Senator Marco Rubio said President Obama "doesn't have the guts" to admit that he doesn't believe in the Second Amendment and that his new push for gun control is something he's been wanting to do for his entire political career.
“I actually believe the president doesn’t have the guts to admit he doesn’t believe in the Second Amendment although he states that he is. The Second Amendment is in the Constitution. I didn’t write the Constitution, neither did you, neither did he. If he doesn’t want the Second Amendment to be in the Constitution or if he wants to reform the Second Amendment then have the guts to admit that.”
Marco Rubio:The President Doesn't Have the Guts To Admit He Doesn't Believe in 2nd Amendment
Over to you, Jake Tapper.
This is not the first incident of horrific gun violence of your four years, where have you been?"
Jake Tapper to Obama: This isn't your first gun massacre "Where've you been?"
Not one bit of it.
However, his recent comments on immigration and a ‘path to citizenship’ for those illegals having proved they didn’t commit any serious laws pretty much means to me that he’s not what we all thought he was. I don’t really need him to tell me what Obama’s thought on the Second Amendment are.
Pretty cheap shot on a mistyped word IMO....”when there’s no substance, stand on triviality”.....
Has any other congressman actually came out and said Obama doesn’t believe in the Second Amendment? I think it is a good start. Judge Napolitano said Obama also doesn’t believe in Amendment 22.
Don’t give up. There is a petition to Congress calling for an investigation of Obama’s fraudulent use of someone else’s social security number, and forgery of draft card and birth certificate at www.OrlyTaitzEsq.com. SCOTUS has an upcoming conference on Feb. 15 to decide whether to hear Noonan v. Bowen on the same issues.
Sue me, it’s people like you that we lost the election. It’s people like you that we didn’t get the Senate back, even though we had an excellent chance to do so. And it’s people like you that will make sure the rats are taking the House back in 2014, which is exactly what that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave wants
I see liberal Fox News is doing everything possible to push Amnesty Liberal La Raza Rubio as some conservative leader
And we will have the usual PhonyCon Liberals whine whenever anyone brings up the facts about Tivo
There are much better conservative leaders who are stronger on 2d Amendment issues than Rubio. Someone as Open Borders as Rubio cannot be trusted on this issue....especially when one of Rubio’s biggest benefactors of Amnesty, Mexico, wants Americans disarmed.
Rubio is pushing Aztlan and Reconquista for Mexico...he is not someone to trust on 2d Amendment
It’s people like you that will elect someone who will end up appeasing, helping the Democrats, to legalize the 12 million illegal aliens (more like 50 million) here because you want a ‘republican’ of any flavor in office. If Marco gets his way, there won’t be any Republicans in the WH, ever.
Why didn’t your boy Marco say this before he got elected?
My concern isn’t that Obama and the Democrats have never liked the Second Amendment. It is the ENTIRE Constitution they have nothing but contempt for, including the 10th Amendment, which would prohibit most of their domestic policies and agenda. And they completely twist the part about religion. All the Founders intended with respect to religion, is that the FEDERAL government not establish an official religion. PERIOD. If a state such as Maryland or Virginia or any other state wanted to establish a state religion within the confines of their state, that is not prohibited. The Dems, in their twisted ways, have interpreted the Constitution in such a manner which creates a secular state, bans all public prayers or mention of God, bans any mention of God in our currency, our pledge of alliegence, any public display of religious objects (unless Muslim) and so on......The Liberals are truly twisted when it comes to not only the Second Amendment but the ENTIRE meaning and intent of the Constitution. They want nothing more than to rip it to shreds and completely ignore it. The libs have as much use for the Constitution as they do the Bible. They want no restraint at all, nothing to stop them from doing whatever they please.
WTF!!!!
Really, Senator Rubio, you think that it is OK for a list of all Jews gunowners to be compiled by the government...because its past actions have proven it to be so trustworthy that the mere thought of it do anything nefarious with that information is unrealistic? REALLY?
I hope that someone on his staff who reads this, or someone who can get in contact with his staff quickly, brings this to Rubio's attention ASAP. I happen to think that BOR was just talking quickly and that Rubio glossed over it, so he should issue a "clarification" of his remarks.
We need to take NO steps backwards on our 2nd Amendment rights - NO registration, NO new restrictions on the types of weapons we are "allowed" to own, NO magazine restrictions, NO registration of each ammo purchase, etc. Oh, and NO violation of our doctor-patient confidentiality, much less a compilation of such private information in a (hackable) federal database. This stuff is UNACCEPTABLE, and leaders like Rubio need to make that clear.
Unless, of course, he feels otherwise.
Sorry, but this guy does not impress me one bit. He's already been infected with “Establishmentitis” He caught that from Mitch McConnell.
Hey Marco, want to impress me: quit offering Amnesty to ILLEGALS!
Are of less than zero interest to me on THIS thread.
I don’t really need him to tell me what Obama’s thought on the Second Amendment are.
Bully for you. Guess what, Sparky? I don't need it either. But there are a whole lot of low information voters out there staring at their TV, drooling on their bibs who absolutely need somebody to tell them.
Marco Rubio did the telling, and good on him for it.
I believe Marco Rubio is getting his doctorate at Howdy Doody University.
Marco and Bill also fail to recognize the threat of gun registration, as they both enthusiastically endorsed it.

Gun Registration - The “common sense” law that occurs about 1 nanosecond prior to gun confiscation.
THIS JUST IN: Franco's still dead.
Snagged, saved, and distributed.
When did he say/do/write something like that? That's a heavy charge.
That is absurd. The kind of futile, 'no one is ever conservative enough' attitude that is a political dead-end. I suspect it is in response to the steady stream of RINOs the party has been shoving down our throat for decades. I agree, the GOP is near useless when it comes to nominating and electing conservatives. I still miss Sarah Palin. However, dismissing the very few possible winning candidates the GOP has on the basis that they don't hold the exact same views on immigration as an FR poster is simple not rational.
No politician will ever placate every conservative - including this one - on every issue. If conservative perfection is the criteria, we may as well give up now because such perfection exists only in the minds of the implacable. Marco Rubio is smart, ambitious, articulate and photogenic. He holds conservative views and is a staunch opponent of Obama. He may or may not be the next GOP presidential candidate and he still has a lot to prove but seeing him vilified on FR over a reasonable plan for immigration that starts with securing the Mexico-U.S. border seems self-defeating.
This is why we lose elections. We treat our own worse than the liberals treat them.

“Let’s be honest. Mr. Keyes does not believe in common gun control measures like the assault weapons bill. Mr. Keyes does not believe in any limits from what I can tell with respect to the possession of guns, including assault weapons that have only one purpose, to kill people. I think it is a scandal that this president did not authorize a renewal of the assault weapons ban.”

Q: Is the D.C. law prohibiting ownership of handguns consistent with an individual’s right to bear arms?
A: “As a general principle, I believe that the Constitution confers an individual right to bear arms. But just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can’t constrain the exercise of that right, in the same way that we have a right to private property but local governments can establish zoning ordinances that determine how you can use it.”
Q: But do you still favor the registration & licensing of guns?
A: “I think we can provide common-sense approaches to the issue of illegal guns that are ending up on the streets. We can make sure that criminals don’t have guns in their hands. We can make certain that those who are mentally deranged are not getting a hold of handguns. We can trace guns that have been used in crimes to unscrupulous gun dealers that may be selling to straw purchasers and dumping them on the streets.”

Q. Do you support state legislation to:
a. ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns? Yes.
b. ban assault weapons? Yes.
c. mandatory waiting periods and background checks? Yes.

“I think we have two conflicting traditions in this country. I think it’s important for us to recognize that we’ve got a tradition of handgun ownership and gun ownership generally. And a lot of law-abiding citizens use it for hunting, for sportsmanship, and for protecting their families. We also have a violence on the streets that is the result of illegal handgun usage. And so I think there is nothing wrong with a community saying we are going to take those illegal handguns off the streets. And cracking down on the various loopholes that exist in terms of background checks for children, the mentally ill. We can have reasonable, thoughtful gun control measure that I think respect the Second Amendment and people’s traditions.”

If obama doesn’t believe in the Constitution, why would be believe in the 2nd amendment?
