Karl Rove: Only Way To Stop The Violence Is To Repeal Second Amendment
No, Mr. Rove, you don't understand. Areas in the US that have restrictions on the second amendment right to keep and bear arms are typically HIGHER in crime and violence than those that do not.

Thanks for your contributions Rove, but please, go quietly into the night, as W did.

The only way to keep from having a prison population is to no longer have prisons.
Rove seems to have forgotten that the purpose of fire arms is to maintain the peace. Remove firearms from the people and we would have had ground invasion after Pearl Harbor which would have likely cost us the war as the safe and protected places of industry would not have been able to build so much dealing with war on our home front.
Peace and freedom only come to those with the ability to be violent should they find the need. On rare occasions that violence will come when it is not needed and without that you can never have freedom or a free people.
It is as necessary to freedom as airplanes are to flight.
Government doesn't have the power to grant anything. Only citizens can do that.
What I've seen is the high crime areas are typically in locations where voters have granted that right to the State or local governments.
Ninth has to come first. Tenth next, All protected by the Second.
Cherry picking will get you every time or the devils in the details.
DC vs Halller very carefully skirted the need to address the Rights Not Granted issue and with equal care put most of the ball back in the State and local governments court. they really don't want to be forced into addressing the issue head on. I wouldn't doubt the court would refuse a case if they thought that would happen.
Rove though is dead wrong. repealing the Second removes it's protection of the 9th and 10th. Just as stupid an idea as turning Senators into Representatives at large. Bye Bye checks and balances.
What he actually said is "The only way to end gun violence is to repeal the second A and he further stated that no politician has the guts to even try that". He never advocated such garbage and he never would. Get your facts and quotes straight before attempting to open a meaningful discussion here.
