Mitchell Gives the Game Away: 'If the Guns Did Not Exist...'
newsbusters.org ^ | 2/27/2018 | Bill D'Agostino

On Tuesday’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, two Florida politicians, a Republican and a Democrat, made back-to-back appearances to discuss gun control. Host Andrea Mitchell took a radically different tone with each interviewee – both of whom are seeking statewide elected office in 2018 – thus epitomizing MSNBC’s inescapable liberal bias.

While speaking with Republican Florida State Representative Jay Fant, Mitchell assumed an adversarial role, grilling him on his recent vote against a measure to ban assault rifles. Throughout the brief interview, she argued that the Second Amendment was not absolute, citing the late Justice Scalia’s decision in the frequently-referenced District of Columbia v. Heller case. In a particularly telling lapse of judgment, she suggested that perhaps guns ought not to exist at all:

If the guns did not exist, you would not have had the terror, the massacre that you had. You can talk about mental health and other restrictions, and everything is part of this mosaic, but guns are the differentiator here.

Fant was adamant that a ban on weapons like the AR-15 constituted a violation of Americans’ Second Amendment rights, and he pointed out that events like the Columbine massacre had occurred during a federal assault weapons ban.

Well, if liberals didn’t exist, we wouldn’t have to listen to these stupid arguments anymore!

Imagine a world without Guns!

The Government can intimidate and batter the Citizen.
The younger and stronger can intimidate and batter the older and weaker.
The mob can intimidate and batter the single person.

Imagine the horror

When I see her carp comes to mind.

Amazing that Greenspan hasn't thrown himself off a high rise.

Lol, this tone change between guests reminded me of an old SNL skit where Donahue had Raisa Gorbachev and Nancy Reagan on.

“If the guns did not exist...”

That’s a fantasy land. We have to live in reality. In reality, they exist. I guess it’s too much to ask them to focus on reality.

When a drunk driver mows down people we blame the driver, not the car. If some idiot detonates a pressure cooker bomb, we blame the terrorist, not the the chemicals and nails stc. tomake lots of shrapnel. If some lunatic knifes some one to death....you get the point. Why then do we blame the gun when some crazed lunatic uses it to kill? Could there be another agenda at work here??? HMMMMM?

Almost like he’s peering out of a storm drain. Only thing missing——the nose and clown wig.

Post #16 - Mitchell pic.

Was always difficult for me to watch her because of her "acne scarred hamburger face."

Her face could be used for a sexual abstinence poster.

If leftists did not exist few hundred million people would not have been killed in the 20th century.

If we are going to save lives by the process of elimination, does it not make sense to start at the greatest dangers? It seems that was what World War two was all about, stopping leftists from “eliminating problems”.

Sure you want to go this way you leftist twits?

If nukes didn’t exist, we wouldn’t be worried about Fat Boy.

Or hammers, or axes, or fists, or knives, or baseball bats, or cars, or...
