She appeared on HBO&#8217;s Real Time with Bill Maher this past Friday evening. Along with Ms. Wagner were former NY Gov. David Patterson, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), comedian Bill Engvall, and Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Maher posed the question what would you change in the Constitution. Wagner&#8217;s answer?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>&#8220;Well, I&#8217;m going to be pilloried for this. I think get rid of the second Amendment, the right to bear arms. I just think in the grand scheme of the rights that we have; the right of assembly, free speech, I mean, owning a gun does not, it does not tally on the same level as those other Constitutional rights. And being more discreet about who gets to have a firearm and right to kill with a firearm, I think is something that would be in our national interest to revisit that.&#8221; <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can watch a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2011\/11\/06\/msnbc_and_huffington_posts_wagner_get_rid_of_second_amendment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video excerpt of it here on RealClearPolitics<\/a>. I love the look on Darrell Issa&#8217;s face when she says it. Then when Maher asks Bill Engvall what he thinks about it, Issa quips &#8220;she has a right to be wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Engvall has lost me as a fan when he says he doesn&#8217;t see any reason for a person like himself to own an AK-47. This was just after he said he should be able to protect his family and that he is a avid hunter and fisherman. Fudds like Engvall need to realize that the gun prohibitionists see his deer rifle with a scope as &#8220;high-powered sniper rifle&#8221; and they will be coming after that as well. Jeez!<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Issa gets serious and says the reason for the Second Amendment is for self-protection from the criminal element and from a tyrannical government. He says the Second Amendment is why we don&#8217;t have dictators like Col. Gaddafi and never will.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Wagner is a political analyst on MSNBC, contributor to the Huffington Post, and is reputed to be getting&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":3,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4080,4081,19],"class_list":["post-3790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-alex-wagner","tag-bill-maher","tag-second-amendment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3790"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7382,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3790\/revisions\/7382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
