Bill Maher: 'I Ain't Giving Up My Gun' [Video]
http://www.inquisitr.com/667178/bill-maher-i-aint-giving-up-my-gun-video/

Gun control supporter Bill Maher admitted he owns guns for personal
protection even though he thinks the Second Amendment is "bullsh*t." On the
HBO Real Time episode on Friday (see embed below), Maher criticized the
failed Manchin-Toomey expanded background checks bill because it prohibited
a national gun registry. " . Of course we need a gun registry," Maher said.
"The Second Amendment is bullsh*t."
Much of the opposition to the Senate bill centered on concerns, despite
denials from Manchin-Toomey supporters, that a federal gun registry would be
the next step.

Later in the show, Maher offered this interesting revelation: "As long as we
live in the gun country, I ain't giving up my gun . there have been 12 home
invasions in my neighborhood in the last year . I have two guns, one
upstairs and one down." Maher presumably lives in an upscale Beverly Hills
enclave.

Law Professor and gun law expert David Kopel has previously asserted that
the national gun registry ban in Manchin-Toomey only applied to the Attorney
General and not to other government agencies, however. Separately, "Morning
Joe" Scarborough, who claimed that the GOP would become extinct for opposing
the Machin-Toomey bill, apparently has had a change of heart because of the
IRS scandal. As he explained on MSNBC, "My argument has been, don't worry,
background checks aren't going to lead to a national registry. The
government is never going to create a national registry. Right? And there is
even something there that says its a felony. I don't even have to complete
my sentence, do I? My argument is less persuasive today because of these
scandals. Because people will say, hey, if they do that with the IRS asking
people what books you read then how can I trust them with information about
my Second Amendment rights? This is devastating. This IRS scandal is
devastating. All across the board as Chuck said. Immigration reform,
background checks, you name it, it's a devastating scandal."

CNN's Piers Morgan who also jumped on the gun control bandwagon after the
shooting rampage at Sandy Hook (Hoax) Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.,
similarly admitted the other night on his show that gun rights supporters
and "pro-gun lobbyists" who oppose additional firearms regulations may have
a point given the "vaguely tyrannical behavior" by the federal government in
the IRS and AP scandals.

Watch Bill Maher talk about how he personally owns guns despite slamming the
Second Amendment:
