Bill Maher on Terror Attacks: Wouldn't Being Armed at Least Give Citizens a Chance?

nov 21 2015During the November 20 airing of Real Time with Bill Maher, California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) pro-gun control comments were countered by Maher’s observation that being armed during a Paris-style attack would at least give citizens a fighting chance to survive.
According to MRC/Newsbusters, Maher stepped in to defend the option of being armed for self-defense after Newsom dismissed the idea of a good guy with a gun having any real success against bad guys with guns.

Surprised by Newsom’s willingness to accept the paradigm of citizens remaining unarmed in such a setting, Maher responded, “Really? So if you were in a restaurant and a crazy gunman came in, you wouldn’t want to have a gun? You’d rather just be shot?”

Newsom responded by suggesting that citizens without proper training might just start shooting in response and make things worse. They might get nervous and “start pointing the trigger or pointing a gun and shooting.”

Maher is usually on the side of the gun grabbers, except when it involves Islamic terrorists. He's Jewish, so he makes an exception in that case.

Maybe but maher is NOT a knee-jerk liberal. This is not the first time he supported a conservative point of view.

Mahr is an honest person. He's not too brainwashed to consider other views.

He's all over the place politically. He's like South Park only not half as funny.

 

[depotoo]

His views run with the tides.

Just read an article at breitbart exposing that the taxpayers give newsom millions of dollars worth of armed bodyguards. All these rich liberal politicians are like that. Guns for me but not thee.
