RUSH: Marco Rubio, in the United States Senate, said the president “doesn\u2019t have the guts” to admit that he doesn\u2019t believe in the Second Amendment. Marco Rubio says that this dog and pony show (my words, not his) is not about ending gun violence. It\u2019s exactly what our caller<\/a> from North Carolina said that Bob Schieffer was doing when he goes out and compares the NRA to Hitler and says (summarized), “My gosh, if this country defeated Hitler, certainly we can defeat the NRA.” What really is going on is a battle to defeat the Constitution, in this case, the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rubio says the president “doesn\u2019t have the guts” to admit that he doesn\u2019t believe in the Second Amendment. By the way, there\u2019s something to this. One of the things that we never get from the left… This is very important, folks. I want you to hear this and believe it. In all this talk about bipartisanship and getting along, the one thing you never get with the left is an honest debate. Because they will never tell us what their real objective is. They always mask it or camouflage it or hide behind it with children, in the case of yesterday and many other times.<\/p>\n

But you can\u2019t have an honest debate with them.<\/p>\n

They will not tell you that they want to eliminate the Second Amendment. They will not tell you that, if they could, they\u2019d find a way to confiscate guns. They won\u2019t be honest about that. So when you accuse them of that, when you say that that\u2019s what their real objective is, then they go nuts accusing whoever says it (like me) of being extreme and dangerous and reckless because of what people are going to think after hearing it.<\/p>\n

When, in fact, I\u2019m not the one being dishonest. It\u2019s the left that will never honestly state its objectives. They will never honestly state their position. When they do, on those rare times they do, such as in this school in Wisconsin, people rise up against it. That\u2019s why they stay subtle and camouflaged. Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites with Senator Rubio. He was on The O\u2019Reilly Factor last night. O\u2019Reilly said, “Where\u2019s the president going wrong, Senator, on all of this?”<\/p>\n

RUBIO: Let\u2019s remember what the impetus for all this was. It was this horrible tragedy in Connecticut, which, by the way, all of us were outraged by, all of us are sad about, and all of us would want to see never happen again. And by the own admission of the White House what they proposed today would do nothing to have prevented what happened in Connecticut, or Colorado before that, or any of these other places where this has occurred. The issue America faces is not guns; it\u2019s violence. I think the fundamental question is, “What is happening in our culture and in our society that\u2019s leading to people committing these atrocities, whether it\u2019s mental illness or some other violent propensities that have come into our culture and into our society?”<\/p>\n
