Rep. Keith Ellison: I Wish Democrats Would Come Out Against the Second Amendment

“ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING! Intrepid investigative journalist Katie Pavlich rips the lid off Team Obama’s murderous corruption and anti-Second Amendment zealotry" says Michelle Malkin.

"Katie Pavlich draws back the curtain on a radical administration that put Mexican and American lives at risk for no discernible reason other than to advance an ideological agenda." - David Limbaugh

She's paid her dues in writing a book on 'Fast and Furious' and whenever I see her byline It's on a subject that is right at the core of what's interesting in Conservative / Libertarian concerns.

During an appearance over the weekend on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison said he wishes Democrats would come out in opposition to the Second Amendment. Before the admission, Ellison listed off a number of "common sense" ways we can reduce "gun violence," which is typical of anti-gun advocates. He also stated, "I don't think you have to got eliminate ownership of all guns in order to get some common sense gun rules," and made a cringe worthy comment about a 30-round "clip" when he should have said "magazine."

Maher responded and pointed out his solutions wouldn't get anywhere, called common sense gun safety bulls*it and asked why Democrats won't simply come out against the Second Amendment. Ellison responded by saying, "I wish they would," right after claiming we don't have to "eliminate ownership of all guns in order to get some common sense gun rules."

Here is the exchange starting around the three minute mark, courtesy of RCP:
MAHER: Why doesn't your party come out against the Second Amendment? It's the problem.

ELLISON: I sure wish they would. I sure wish they would.

MAHER: Really? Because I never hear anybody in the Democratic party say that. But they say, 'I am also a strong supporter.'

ELLISON: You have got to check out the progressive caucus. We have come out very strong for common-sense gun safety rules.



Notice again how Ellison goes from promoting "common sense" to wanting Democrats to come out against the Second Amendment and then back to "very strong common-sense gun safety rules." Progressives promote these ideas through deceit and by using words that sound good instead of being honest about their true intentions: an all out assault on the Second Amendment as Ellison revealed. Think progressive gun control starts and ends at "common-sense"? Think again.

I wish those that feel this way truly would, instead of talking out of both sides of their mouths.

I agree, completely. I'll put aside my immovable hatred towards all things democrat for a minute to say: I too wish they'd clearly and unequivocally state what they want, in precise terms. If they are so against the second ammendment, they should campaign on repealing it. There is a provision/procedure in the constitution to do it. Anything less than that is the usurpation of our rights and the penalties for trying to "legislate" amendments to the constitution should be punishable by death, IMO. The fact that everyday there are politicians and law enforcement that break their oaths is repulsive. Don't take it unless you understand it and are willing to abide by it. The penalties for not are tantamount to treason (literally). Until we prosecute and punish, without remorse, these oath breakers, they will continue to infringe on all of our rights, not just the second.

Ellison again proves he is clueless, and his agenda irrelevant to much of Minnesota and most of this country.
Many outstate Minn, and southern US democrats have no issue with the Constitution, as it exists.

I think his proper title is "Kieth Ellison, Congressman for Life"

I wish Keith would leave public service to open a road side trinket stand on the road between Mecca and Medina.... so when the pilgrims do the HAJ he could be there to wash their feet and sell them relics at inflated prices....

I wonder if he has armed security like Calypso Louie does. Next we will see him surrounded by those militant muslims with the bow ties and hats with a pissed off look on their faces.
