Bill Maher, Round 2!

An update to last week's post on Bill Maher!

This week on Real Time the discussion once more turned to firearms and the right to keep and bear arms.  How could it not?  All of a sudden, it was as if Bill had read my previous post - we knew Bill was a self-professed gun owner and he once again acknowledged this, noting that he had two guns - one upstairs and one down and practiced twice per year - and was not going to be giving them up since there had been numerous home invasions in his neighborhood.

When Michael Moore (anti-gun, big surprise - I am sure when he moves, or lumbers, around Flint he has armed personal security) told Bill that he was not likely to be able to defend himself adequately because he did not practice enough and would be startled awake and unprepared, Bill noted that the alternative, getting "mowed down", was not an option. [BTW, twice a year at the range is probably not unheard of among law enforcement officers.]

So Bill - if the government, any government, tells you to turn those guns in, will you?  It matters not whether you are keeping and bearing arms to protect against real or imagined tyranny or, like most of us, to protect yourself from home invasion and other crime.  It matters only that it provides you an effective and constitutionally-guaranteed means to defend yourself.

BTW - I have always cringed at S.E. Cupp, but she deserves props for her defense of the 2A.
