Ed Schultz’s Anti-Gun Argument: People Who Wrote the Second Amendment ‘Owned Slaves, Oppressed Women & Were Short on Tolerance’

Dec. 14, 2012 11:21pm Jason Howerton

MSNBCs Ed Schultz Makes Gun Control Pitch After Conn. Elementary School Shooting

Ed Schultz (AP Photo/Dave Samson, File)

Despite the fact that the Connecticut school shooter reportedly used guns legally owned by his mother, MSNBC host Ed Schulz said the shooting is proof that we must “come to grips with a changing society” and stop “hiding behind the Second Amendment.”

In other words, Schultz wants lawmakers to start getting serious about gun control. He justified his position by saying that the people who wrote the Second Amendment “owned slaves, oppressed women and were short on tolerance.”

Surprisingly, Schultz admitted that he has been a gun owner for 40 years.

“Tonight is… a time we as a people come to grips with a changing society,” Schultz said. “We need to be the Founding Fathers on how we deal with the sickness in our country called ‘gun violence.’ Hiding behind the Second Amendment doesn’t cut it anymore.”

He continued: “Hiding behind the Second Amendment can no longer be the shield for access. The people who wrote that document owned slaves, oppressed women, and were short on tolerance.”

The MSNBC host went on to say that lawmakers in Washington need to stop doing the bidding of the gun lobby.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

  Ben Franklin and the Pennsylvania delegation owned slaves? John Adams and the delegation from Massachusetts Bay Colony owned slaves too? All the Northern delegations to Congress owned slaves? What a lie that is. The British Empire allowed slavery and Southern Colonies had invested $billions in slaves to operate their semi-tropical plantations just as the Spanish and French did.
  
  Troubled minds lead to troubled times.

  And the fact that gun rights are the 2nd freedom addressed makes me think that our founding fathers knew that this was an extremely important freedom. I’m glad that they had the foresight to include this especially since they experienced Tyranny from overseas.

  It’s been ten years since a low-life, Nigerian foreign student invaded the Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, VA, and killed three people before being subdued by three fellow students, TWO OF THEM ARMED!
  
  When the shooting started, the two gun-owning students ran to their vehicles and retrieved their weapons.
  
  Funny thing about most folks who mentally snap and resolve to commit mass murder. They’ve never been in a gun fight. When faced with armed resistance, they usually fold or bite the barrel of their weapon.
  
  We will always have our Second Amendment rights because most folks reading this post will die to preserve those rights.

  We don’t need gun control and we don’t need people lying about the Founding Fathers. We need much better care for the mentally impaired and disturbed, starting with Ed Shultz. He is a pathological liar and a sick person. His anger could explode and he could end up killing Conservatives. The Hollywood types need to be controlled, they all suffer from nacissism, a mental disorder, thinking because they can act they are intelligent enough to actually comment on something meaningful. Every shooter is mentally ill. If they didn’t shoot, they would find another way. We need guns to protect ourselves from those who wish to do us harm. Those advocating gun control just want control. Look at Harry Belafonte saying Obama should jail anyone who disagrees with him. Who is nuts here?????

  This really started with the parents of the 50′s and a domino effect from there. Every parent wants their kids to have it easier than they did. So they let up on the strict upbringing and the next generation does the same thing only with even less discipline and so on and so forth. The problem is every generation gets worse and worse and not better. We now live in a time that is almost opposite from the 50′s
  
  Well we need abortion control, how many unborn babies die or have died due to the irresponsibility of so called grown ups? The progressives have caused this problem with their liberal unaccountable, collective, social, you all get a trophy, non consequential upbringing and your all exactly the same as the next person policies and thinking.
  
  Then there’s the family break down that started in the 60′s with free love, living together, non-committing relationships and the governments “Great Society” policies that made welfare and free handouts easier than trying on your own and excusing fathers from honoring their financial responsibility. Divorce rates in the following decades increased as irreparability and unaccountability took hold.
  
  By not being allowed to fail we don’t learn how to handle mixed or ill emotions nor do we learn how to rise above adversity.

  The progressives have ok’d and grown this violent culture of the youth through mind altering drugs, violence in the movies, TV, certain types of music and mind wasting video games like blk ops that are causing the male population to live secluded at home into their late 20′s and mentally it is stunting their growth not to mention lack of social contact.
  
  Look at the age of most these killers, most are under 30 and closer to 20, only two generations from the 60′s free love and social beliefs of the “hippie” crowd. It is going to get worse because everyone is looking at the wrong problem. We need to review history as to what got us here and if your under 40 you won’t understand what I am saying because it was a had to be there moment.

  How can anyone take Ed Schultz seriously? He literally foams at the mouth with anger and resentment.
  If Ed wants to talk about history, why doesnt he talk about the history of gun control? The KKK began as a pro gun-control organization. I guess that makes anyone who supports gun-control a racist, right?
  Anyone who would use this tragedy to push their own political agenda is disgusting! That includes the president and his crocodile tears yesterday

  Liberals (like Ed Schultz) think like children, and have no grasp of reality. Yes it would be wonderful to live in a fantasy world where everyone was kind and loved one another, but in reality, there is an enormous amount of evil in this world. Without the 2nd Amendment, the only people with guns would be those who are evil … like in third world countries ruled by dictators.
  
  Why are so many 20 year old young men suffering from mental disabilities? Why do they feel a need to shoot up massive numbers of people, even small children? This is a societal problem, not a 2nd Amendment problem. It’s indicative of the moral and spiritual decay in our country, which people like Ed Schultz seem to ignore. (Perhaps it’s because he broke his mirror and can’t see how he’s instrumental in causing the decay.)

  “He justified his position by saying that the people who wrote the Second Amendment “owned slaves, oppressed women and were short on tolerance.”
  
  They also wrote the constitution and presided over a change that brought millions of people to these shores who appreciated a chance to lead their lives free from oppression and dictatorial control, and didn’t cry about not getting enough freebies.
  
  This leftist geek is one of the greatest purveyors of hate in the media today. The others, of course, are his co-horts on MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC and, especially, NBC, plus almost the entire press corps and the entire entertainment industry.
  
  If they were given what they want they would cause this country to look something like Brazillian society where the middle class lives in gated communities, guarded by armed security, while the rabble rule the streets at night.
  
  I’m telling you, people. If you live in the suburbs or, God forbid, the cities, you had better form civil defense groups for your own protection, because this situation looks like every other one right before all hell breaks loose.
  
  These activists all despise traditional Americans and their culture, and are determined to destroy them.
  
  The problem is that they have so effectively disunited us they can issue statements like this at their whim without any fear of repercussions, right along with the anti-white racists in the black community, like those uttered by the likes of Foxx, et al.

  Let me see if I understand this. Schultz doesn’t want us to “hide behind” the 2nd amendment because it was written by slave holders and people without tolerance. These same founding fathers wrote the FIRST AMENDMENT, allowing for freedom of the press that allows idiot Schultz his microphone.
  
  Liberals always talk compromise. How about this compromise? We abandon the 2nd amendment, and at the same time the first amendment and Ed no longer has a right to have a program?

  @V15,
  
  Spot on – well said (both accounts – especially regarding the duplicitous thoughts w/ respect to abortion).
  
  I’ll vote to abolish the 2nd amendment when: all the nations (that includes S. America, Mr. Chavez) of the world disarm & destroy ALL weapons & the President agrees to send his/her children to a public school w/out a SS detail & he/she him/herself agrees to walk about in public w/out an armed SS detail. That will obviously never happen – at least not before the 2nd coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ (Micah 4)
  
  As long as men rule over men, when countries disarm their citizenry only the criminals, tyrants, & despots remain armed.

  If they cant stop illegal drugs from coming into this country, How are they going to stop illegal guns once they are banned? If the liberals successfully ban guns in this country, It will create a illegal gun trade bigger than the drug trade. 10 Y/O kids will be going to school with .25 caliber pocket pistols shooting each other in class.
  
  Kids of all ages have access to all kinds of drugs. Make guns illegal @ the same thing will happen with guns.

  The British Empire allowed slavery and Southern Colonies had invested $billions in slaves to operate their semi-tropical plantations just as the Spanish and French did.

  New York City was (and still is by all accounts) the place where mass graves were constructed to bury slaves in:
  
  ————-
  Disturbing the dead
  
  Slavery in America has traditionally been viewed as a peculiarly Southern phenomenon, brought to an end by the victorious Northern states after the Civil War. In 1991, in downtown Manhattan, an 18th century burial ground containing the remains of hundreds of African slaves was uncovered during excavations for a new office block. The first body turned up in June 1991. Others surfaced in September. The count totaled 13 by early October, as excavation for a 34 storey federal office building in New York’s lower Manhattan inadvertently unearthed the remains more than twenty feet below ground level. Forensic examination identified five of the 13 as the remains of men, one as those of a woman, four as those of adults of undetermined gender, two as those of children, and one as those of an infant.

  This shooting is yet another tragic example of the failed, grotesque insistence on helpless victim zones where any crazed gunman can be assured of a large number of disarmed, undefended, helpless victims, all crammed into one place, where he can kill many children before an armed defender arrives from elsewhere. It is disturbing and sick that the federal government so hates the right of the American people to bear arms, and so hates their natural right to self defense, that the government insists on making them helpless, disarmed victims for anyone who cares to kill them. And in this case, all of the teachers and staff were willfully disarmed by the Federal Government, by force of law and threat of prison, to ensure that they would be disarmed and incapable of saving the lives of the children entrusted to their care.
  That makes the Federal Government complicit in the deaths of these children, and in fact an accessory to their mass murder, by forcibly disarming (with the very real threat of prison) all the teachers, all the staff, and any parent who may have been on school property. That stupid law guaranteed the shooters would meet no immediate armed resistance, which is exactly what is needed to stop such an attack.
  In such a shooting (as in every criminal attack), seconds count, and the people best positioned to stop the attack are the people on the scene – the intended victims and/or their care-takers. In this case, that would mean the teachers and staff of the

  Big mouth Ed is right about one thing..The “sickness in our country”. It is the SICK PEOPLE that are the problem.

  Words alone cannot begin to dull the pain & anger that is dominating the families emotions over this kind of evil. It seems that this kind of tragedy visits our society on a regular schedule like someone or something is causing it. I can’t begin to understand what kind of monster would plan to do this or if some evil ideological group planed it & found some mentally deficient person to carry out the heinous act for them. But either way we have some real evil among us. This kind of evil either comes from the devil or another planet. I really only know one thing for sure. It takes a monster or monster creator to do something like this.
  I have also noticed that the atrocities are getting worse as if the last one was not bad enough to accomplish the planned objective like confiscating our guns so their needs to be another that is worse until the evil is so revolting that we will give up all our freedoms to assuage the evil among us. With that in mind I have only sadness in my heart for the families, the country and all the insanity that has come to visit us today.

  The Second Amendment is not about hunting and not even really about self-defense. It is about defense against tyranny. And this stupid argument that militia meant some state run/organized military is wrong! The Founding Fathers were very clear as to what the term meant. Sam Adams: “I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Gun control is not only not the right answer, it is not Constitutional.

  “What? thats some backwards logic! Why do you think he needs these things? because of guns in this nation! you want him to stop protecting himself before you would solve the problem in the first place?”
  
  First of all he doesn’t NEED “these things.” He knows that without gun control his brand of totalitarianism could never come about.
  
  Secondly, he’s got immature, childish views that have a proven track record of failure throughout history. Controlled societies will never work for very long and controlled, multicultural societies are assured of failure. It’s as if this fat little dork is completely ignorant about history and human nature.
  
  He’s some pathological little clown who has been inculcated with Marxist doctrine by his elders all his life, assuring him that a multicultural workers’ paradise will guarantee there will be no more Holocausts.
  
  It’s his dumb, feeble way of pursuing what he inanely believes to be a rainbow utopia, but, in reality, is a rainbow nightmare which we are witnessing to a great extent right now.
  
  All indications are that we are headed for break up, which will involve armed, civil conflict, then secession into variopus ethnic, political enclaves, so if you’re thinking the feds can prevent that, better know that tey’ll break along lines of politics and ethnicity just like the general population

  Keaton-
  the problem is you and your ilk. Democrats are criminals. They murder 300,000+ babies every year (without using guns). You can’t un-invent the gun and you can’t keep them out of the hands of bad people. Every country has gun crime, even those who have banned them. Outlawing drugs did not stop them from being brought in and used, in fact drug use went up. But, liberals do not have the mental capacity to deal with reality and are so dumb they would leave themselves defenseless and easy targets to bad people. I hope you get what you deserve at the hands of a fellow liberal criminal.

The problem isn’t gun control, Mr. Ed. In both of the recent senseless rampages (Portland and Newtown), the guns used were not owned by the assailants. The guns were stolen or borrowed from acquaintances. People like these two who are bent on mass murder will find a way, and gun control isn’t going to stop them.

  By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone.
  
  Who wants to hear the rest of the story? Shut up ED you ignoramus!

  Ed Schults and progressives
  Little respect for woman ,want to enslave anyone not just like them
  and have no tolerance for free thought.Gee I wonder what the death toll would be if he were
  using home made Molotov cocktails or
  pipe bombs.
  With whats going on in the world ,wars,Murder,Gangs,both street and some
  of those elected ,
  Gov sending guns to Mexico,and leaving their own out to dry.
  We now have a Congress and Senate that have gave up most of their power.
  The greatest military in the world about to be cut.
  Well the feces is about to hit the fan
  When we were a God fearing nation we were unbeatable .
  When we turned from God and turned towards the UN
  we were stopped from winning wars
  Korea-draw and lost the rest . Walked out on S.Vietnam.Iraq almost back to
  where it was.And the brotherhood taking the rest of mid east
  Well i’m getting old and starting to ramble so I will pour another cup of coffee
  and find something stupid on TV to numb my mind.

  Hey Weaver,
  
  Check out my post above.
  
  Folks forget (it’s been ten years) since the shootings at the Appalachian School of Law when a crazed gunman shot and killed three victims.
  
  The gunman was subdued after two students ran to their vehicles and retrieved their weapons.
  
  “Remember Benghazi and ALL the Traitors!”

  According to janet Napolitano, DHS and Obamma the wannabe dictator they were. the left is trying to change hstory and villify George Washington. Didn’t NBC have a show last month on Presodent Washington? That he was a deranged man, an adulterer?
  
  The left’s plan or the communists I should say, is to, as their favorite community organizer said once upon a time, ‘ fundamentally change america’ …..AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN SKIP!

  The founders knew the importance of a citizen’s militia. Without weapons, we would have been a British colony for much longer. The British transported slaves to America. The Puritans left English for religious freedom. Armed citizens may have preserved the US Constitution and the Republic many times. Few dictators or kings would attempt to enslave an armed citizenry.

  According to Ed… YES. Hey Ed, one day the First Amendment won’t cut it anymore. He already is dictated to think and say what the Barry regime tells him, so I guess he’s be fine without the First Amendment. Lose the 2nd Amendment and the First Amendment will follow. Smelly, leftist commie trash.

“Surprisingly, Schultz admitted that he has been a gun owner for 40 years.”
Here is the problem with gun control. The mentally disturbed are not allowed to own a firearm, which, by definition, precludes Schultz from legally owning one.

Ole Ed hates the constitution, he wants govt to control everything, obama to be King….These libs must not have it figured out yet that if you ban guns, guess who gets them? Criminals! Always have, you will have gun runners everywhere, govt will never control it. More people need to get concealed carry permits asap, Obama will grandstand this to the hilt now so everyone forgets about Bengahzi, Fast and Furious, and all the policies he is sneaking in right now…….

Wow, Schultz.

Do you realise the Idea of the Right to Bear Arms existed long before Guns even existed in the original Great Charter of 1215 better know by it’s Latin name Magna Carte. The Principle then was exactly the same as it was when the Founders proposed the second amendment as it is now.
It’s a bit unfair when nut jobs who cares not for the law are better armed than law abiding citizens who would struggle to defend themselves against these criminals should you pass the Gun controls your no doubt pushing for.

This is as clear as day it’self and I’m British.

People like Ed Schultz want to enslave the citizenry to the government, oppress others that disagree with him. Is this the behavior of a tolerant person.

Just like his namesake on Hogan’s Heroes, he “knows nothing!”
