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.

Disarming the population has historically resulted in very bad things...

    Karl Rove? Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton? Why do people keep thinking he is a Conservative? Having Rove advice conservatives is akin to having lucifer teach your Sunday School Class.

    IMO, Rove means well, but he needs to go away. Remember his whiteboards with all the 2008 and 2012 Presidential election predictions? He was wrong on almost everything.

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

    You know the only way to end air travel accidents is to no longer fly.

    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.

    Well the public got what it voted for. What's the problem? Once again and modified to include the latest Haller ruling. Three Amendments involved. Second, ninth and tenth. It starts with the ninth and tenth. Government doesn't have the right to restrict firearms ownership at the federal level. It's a not right given to government. Voters have granted it to the state level. The Second Amendment until recently one unit but not uncoupled which makes no difference was set up to protect the States and the ninth and tenth amendments from the federal government.

    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.

    Here in the Gulch it should be illegal to take the spoken words either out of context or re-quote them completely wrong! That is a liberal media and democrat thing to pick words apart.
    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.

    I seem to recall the good Mr. Rove as being himself arrested for carrying a gun, which he claimed he was entitled to carry because he was an ex-FBI agent. Rove is a typical conservative (or liberal) member of the Big Government Party in allhe does or says: Do as I say, not as I do. The anointed all think the same way.
