“I’m for gun control but I don’t think you have got to eliminate ownership of all guns in order to get some common sense gun rules. I mean, 27 children were mowed down. Isn’t that enough for us? I mean one of our own colleagues Gabby Gifford got shot in the face…” Ellison started before being interrupted by Maher.

“Then why doesn’t your party come out against the Second Amendment?” Maher asked.

“Bill, I sure wish they would,” Ellison chuckled. “I sure wish we would.”

They're still clinging to the emotional argument I see.

let's see if the media labels all DEMs anti-gun like they labeled all GOPers anti-woman after Akin-gate

Good. His opposition should play this early and often.

I don't understand who he means by "they" and "we". He's a member of Congress, so he's in a position to introduce a repeal of the 2nd Amendment. You can't blame the system when you are the system.

I saw that the other day, and could do nothing but shake my head.

He is from Opelousas, by the way.

It's a political loser.

This is just red meat for his district.

I saw that episode...he kept going on about "common sense" gun laws, etc. In sum he didn't want to make individual gun ownership illegal he claimed he only wanted to remove assault rifles and the mags over 10. I don't see how that fits with the "against the Second Amendment", but I didn't read him as a ban all guns guy. Still he's an idiot. Interestingly his family is from Louisiana.

and we know criminals would never get guns illegally....so massive gun control is obviously the only answer
