Once again I was the focal point on two different discussion topics, maybe three, at CNN yesterday. We got the evidence. It\u2019s all coming up. It\u2019s great to have you here. I am Rush Limbaugh. No matter how low a profile I try to keep I still end up dominating here at the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. Telephone number, if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882. E-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things they went into a tizzy about over at CNN is that Biden yesterday said we\u2019re gonna be looking at everything on this gun problem. We\u2019re gonna be looking at executive orders. We\u2019re gonna be looking at legislation. We\u2019re gonna be looking at all kinds of things. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=13555\">And I said<\/a>, &#8220;Okay, if you\u2019ve got two avowed leftists like Obama and Biden talking about guns and executive orders, what in the world are you talking about? Confiscation.&#8221; And I said, &#8220;Who knew that executive orders trumped the Second Amendment.&#8221; That sent them into a tizzy. They went out and got experts and said the executive order doesn\u2019t trump the Second Amendment. It was a rhetorical question, for crying out loud.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_71365\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/BidenExecutiveOrderOnGunsPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>You know what the biggest mistake I make in the course of hosting this program is? And not with you, not with callers, don\u2019t misunderstand. The biggest mistake I make is assuming that people elsewhere in the media are relatively intelligent, relatively aware, relatively informed. And every time I do that, I make a mistake. They are not. It really is stunning, the degree to which the narrative, whatever it is every day in the media, dominates everything. And it is amazing the groupthink. We\u2019ve chronicled it here, but it still blows my mind.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>The first time we did this was when Bush chose Cheney to be his vice presidential running mate and the media, we had about 35 different media people using the word &#8220;gravitas.&#8221; I mean, every media person in the world used gravitas to describe the pick. We\u2019ve used it because it was entirely illustrative of the groupthink and how one single take, one single reaction, one single opinion, point of view, becomes the only and dominant point of view. So there is no growth in the mind. There\u2019s no curiosity. There is just a smug-arrogant-know-it-all attitude when they don\u2019t know much. I constantly overestimate the knowledge and, yes, the root intelligence of other people in the media.<\/p>\n<p>I also should never forget this, and you shouldn\u2019t, either. They don\u2019t have a sense of humor on the left. I mean, not on their issues. On very little else. I mean, even their comedians, their comedy is nothing but rage and anger.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, we get to the CNN sound bites on guns. The CNN people, folks, literally cannot believe, and they even go out and find a conservative guy named Will Cain to agree. They cannot believe that anybody would actually think that Obama would try an executive order to trump the Constitution, not even after he\u2019s done it. He has done it on immigration. I forget the other instance. And even after Obama has done it, we have people who\u2019ve witnessed him do it say he would never do it. It\u2019s not possible. And they get into a long, drawn-out, &#8220;How can anybody think this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All I did was raise the question. Okay, you got Biden, an avowed leftist, talking about using executive orders when we know what they want to do is get guns out of people\u2019s hands. What else are they talking about? What else are they thinking? It might have something to do with ammo. I\u2019m gonna have to find a way to stop this. I am gonna have to find a way to &#8212; I have concluded &#8212; and not that I care. I think it\u2019s just fascinating. You know, I get into all these controversies with these people, and it\u2019s literally because A, they don\u2019t listen to the program. They get it second party, third party, from Media Matters or whatever. But even if they did listen, I don\u2019t think they would get it. They are not up to speed. Either they\u2019re not informed to the degree that you and I are. They\u2019re certainly not as intelligent.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really surprising to me. I have to be honest about it. Which is more real, the Republicans\u2019 War on Women or the Democrats\u2019 war on gun owners? And, by the way, many of the country\u2019s gun owners are women. Here\u2019s Obama and his regime, and they don\u2019t have one woman in the cabinet. By the way, the media is finally starting to notice that. They\u2019re getting a little nervous about it, but still cutting Obama slack on it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as though he must have a reason that we, us, must not be bright enough to see. There must be a reason why all of Obama\u2019s close advisers are white guys with an occasional minority thrown in there and no women. It must be \u2019cause Obama\u2019s smarter than they are that they can\u2019t figure it out. What\u2019s that old saying, &#8220;Guns don\u2019t kill people, abortions do&#8221;? Hee-hee-hee. Wait \u2019til they hear that one!<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>You know, HR just reminded me of something: My New Year\u2019s resolution. I didn\u2019t tell anybody about it. What\u2019s the point? You don\u2019t announce marketing plans; you just execute \u2019em. But HR pointed out something that\u2019s really true. Everybody needs support, particularly in New Year\u2019s resolutions.<\/p>\n<p>When you have major life changes, you need support.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_71421\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushNewYears2013Mont2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Here I am hanging out there all alone. If Oprah announced, again, that she\u2019s gonna go on a diet, would the media send her a truckload of ice cream? No. They\u2019d send her a truckload of tofu if they sent her anything. Now, I didn\u2019t announce it, so I can\u2019t really blame CNN. .<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>So I had this New Year\u2019s resolution. I wanted to go low profile, or lower profile, less noticed. Just stay out of everybody\u2019s way. You know, just come in here every day, it will be you and me, in three hours it\u2019s over, go home, come back, do it the next day. And I\u2019m not getting any support. Not getting assistance here. Two days in a row now that I\u2019ve been the focal point over at CNN.<\/p>\n<p>This is last night on the Situation Room. This is Wolf Blitzer\u2019s show. I don\u2019t know if Wolf was there, some guest host, or what have you. I want you to listen to what they do here and how they package this. Now, all of this results from an observation <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=13555\">that I made yesterday<\/a>. It was on Drudge. The vice president, Joe Biden, went out and told the press that he and Barack are looking at everything to fix the gun problem. Now, there\u2019s some things that we know going in. We know that Biden and Obama are Democrats. We know that they are avowed leftists. We know, as a result of that, that they resent the Second Amendment. We know that if they could, they would do away with the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>This is not supposition. It\u2019s not guesswork. We have listened to them over the course of many years. Now, in recent days or months they have not said specifically, &#8220;We want to get rid of the Second Amendment.&#8221; They used to say that and they would say it a number of varied ways. The Second Amendment\u2019s outlived its usefulness. The Founding Fathers never intended the Second Amendment to encompass what it encompasses. The Founding Fathers never envisioned millions of Americans having guns. The Founding Fathers knew that people wanted to hunt.<\/p>\n<p>The Second Amendment is there specifically to make sure the people of this country have the firepower they need to defend themselves; and not just against burglars and muggers and purse snatchers and rapists, but government as well. It\u2019s why it\u2019s there. It\u2019s the Second Amendment. It comes right after the First. It\u2019s not an add-on. It\u2019s not a casual throw it in just to put it there. It\u2019s not, well, we need ten for the Bill of Rights, let\u2019s add that. It was well thought out, and we just have to have the courage to admit it. In the course of my lifetime the Democrat Party doesn\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Democrats and the Constitution are a funny study. Because to them the Constitution is whatever they want it to say. And they\u2019ve come up with theories. They dislike the whole the Constitution, anyway, folks, because the Constitution limits government, and they are Democrats, they\u2019re big government people. They resent. FDR was one of the first to propose a second Bill of Rights that would specify what government got to do, not what government can\u2019t do. Obama and his acolytes in the Democrat legal community really resent the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They call it a charter of negative liberties.<\/p>\n<p>But remember, now, they come from the perspective of loving government. So when they say it\u2019s a charter of negative liberties, you might scratch your head, &#8220;Wait a minute, all it does is guarantee our freedom. What\u2019s negative about that?&#8221; From their standpoint, their focus is government power. They don\u2019t want government power to be limited. They want it increased, enhanced, growing. So the Constitution\u2019s a threat to them. And I\u2019m just telling you what they have said. And you know as well as I do, if given the chance, they\u2019d take your gun away from you, despite what their protestations to the contrary are today.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, how many of you have run into liberals, in the course of living your lives you\u2019ve gotten into gun control debates, you know full well that\u2019s what they would do if they could. Make you give up your gun. It\u2019s not a mystery. It\u2019s not a supposition. It\u2019s not a wild theory. We just listen to what they say and react to it. So in the midst of the federal government having meetings on what to do as a result of Sandy Hook, Biden says, &#8220;Well, we\u2019re looking at a number of things: executive orders, legislation.&#8221; Executive orders for what? Taking guns. Limiting guns. Making them harder to get, maybe confiscating them, who knows.<\/p>\n<p>But this is not arguable. All it takes is a little courage to admit it and a modicum of intelligence to know it. And this is my problem, as I stated cogently and clearly in the first hour. The reason I get into tit tats with these people is I assume that they know more than they do. I assume they\u2019re smarter than they are, and I assume that they are aware of more than they are. And they aren\u2019t. And therefore that\u2019s why they don\u2019t get me. Dawn, why are you rolling your eyes in there? Oh. I thought you were rolling your eyes \u2019cause you were mad at me for bragging. I\u2019m not bragging. I\u2019m trying to spell it out here.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t care what the controversy involving me is with the mainstream media. If you dig deep in it, you don\u2019t have to go to too deep, even, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s rooted in they just don\u2019t understand what happens here, partly because they don\u2019t listen. They get third party reports about what happens here, out-of-context sound bites, and so forth. So given that, Biden says we\u2019re looking at executive orders, we\u2019re looking at legislation. To do what, I said? Take guns away. That just threw \u2019em for a loop at CNN. How could anybody think that? Really, you\u2019ll hear it. How can anybody think that\u2019s what Obama wants to do?<\/p>\n<p>How can anybody think it? He does it. How about forcing the Catholic to give away abortifacients, violating the First Amendment religious liberty, forcing them to give away contraceptives as part of their health care. He spits on the Constitution with that. He has issued executive orders involving immigration that fly in the face of federal law. Now, another thing you\u2019ll hear them go absolutely batty over is the fact, you know, I raised the question, who knew that an executive order trumps the Constitution? And they react like, &#8220;Wll, no, that\u2019s the stupidest thing I ever heard. An executive order doesn\u2019t trump &#8211;&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right, it doesn\u2019t. You guys don\u2019t get it, we got a guy who tries it. You are covering a president who tries to trump the Constitution. But you don\u2019t see it, you don\u2019t want to see it. I don\u2019t know. But it is their problem, as you will hear. So, in their quest to paint me as Cyanide Barrenheart, as some Dick Dastardly kind of guy, this sound bite that you\u2019re gonna hear, they quote me saying what I said yesterday, which is a recap of what I just said to you, and listen to how they juxtapose it.<\/p>\n<p>KEILAR: Word the White House will go it alone on some measures was met with suspicion on the right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: So when Biden, himself a liberal Democrat, says that himself and the President and the cabinet, the Attorney General, all a bunch of leftist Democrats, are talking about using executive orders, when you say, &#8220;For what?&#8221; It can only be to take guns away from people. And who knew that an executive order could trump a constitutional amendment?<\/p>\n<p>Unidentified Man #1: My daughter was killed in Aurora, Jessica Ghawi.<\/p>\n<p>Unidentified Woman #1: My 16-year-old son, Blair Holt, was killed in Chicago, May 10th, 2007.<\/p>\n<p>GODDARD: My name is Colin Goddard. I\u2019m a survivor of the shooting at Virginia Tech in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>KEILAR: Victims of gun violence and their family members who met with Biden were heartened by the news the White House will take executive action.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So they play me, a sound bite of me talking about what Biden and Obama really want to do. They back it up with sob stories from victims, which, of course, is designed to make me look like a cold, heartless, cruel Cyanide Barrenheart, Dick Dastardly kind of guy. And then they go, &#8220;Victims of gun violence and their family members were heartened by the news the White House will take executive action.&#8221; What are they heartened by? What does everybody think is going on? What can it be other than federal executive action to do something with guns that would be a big &#8212; what else is there but coming up with a way to make \u2019em harder to get, take them away from people, limit them somehow.<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t that what everybody knows what\u2019s going on? And yet I somehow am the wacko extremist. We don\u2019t know the details of how they\u2019re gonna do it, but we all know what they\u2019re aiming for, and yet I somehow am the mean SOB for pointing it out. So that\u2019s one. Then Carol Costello clawed her way back into the Limbaugh beat. She did a segment on me and guns this morning on her show on CNN.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_71422\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CNN2Costello.jpg\"\/><BR\/>COSTELLO: Rush Limbaugh and others saying the Second Amendment now in jeopardy, even though no one is talking about overturning the Second Amendment or confiscating guns in America. So what impact could an executive order really have? Doesn\u2019t it just inflame things?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You see? This is a great illustration of exactly what I\u2019m talking about. Here is a woman &#8212; she\u2019s an anchorette, she\u2019s an infobabe at a major cable news outlet &#8212; who is clueless. &#8220;What could an executive order do? Nobody\u2019s talking about overturning the Second Amendment.&#8221; Carol, I\u2019m 62. My whole life they have been dreaming of &#8220;overturning the Second Amendment,&#8221; and for many of these years they have said so!<\/p>\n<p>And everybody knows this.<\/p>\n<p>Where have you been?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No one\u2019s talking about overturning the Second Amendment. Nobody\u2019s confiscating guns.&#8221; Why are gun sales at an all-time high? Why are people running out and buying guns at a record pace? The NRA has gained more than 100,000 new members in the last 18 days. Why is that? The media has done nothing but try to destroy the NRA the last 18 days. The last 18 days they have tried to humiliate, destroy, obliterate Wayne LaPierre, the NRA, and anybody else associated with it.<\/p>\n<p>People are buying gun at a record clip, joining the NRA at a record clip. What do these people think? I\u2019ll tell you what they think. They\u2019re ticked off! They think that they are destroying the NRA. They think people ought to be quitting the NRA. They think people ought to be resigning at a hundred thousand a day. They think, because of the way they\u2019ve been covering the NRA, that people ought to be volunteering to give up their guns.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re mad that you\u2019re buying guns. They\u2019re mad that you\u2019re joining the NRA! After all they\u2019ve done to destroy the NRA and you\u2019re joining them? The point is, what are they doing? What are they afraid of? They know who Obama is. They know what Obama and Biden are talking about when they start throwing around executive orders as they talk about &#8220;the gun problem.&#8221; To a liberal, what is &#8220;the gun problem&#8221;? That they exist! That is the problem, to a leftist, to a Democrat. The problem is the guns exist.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, what is their solution?<\/p>\n<p>If the problem is the existence of guns, the solution is, get rid of \u2019em. That\u2019s like 1 + 1 = 2. They don\u2019t get it, and somebody who points this out is obviously an extremist, wacko, Dick Dastardly kind of guy. That\u2019s me. Now, what\u2019s going on? &#8220;Nobody\u2019s talking about overturning Second Amendment or confiscating guns!&#8221; So she asked that question, &#8220;What impact could an executive order really have?&#8221; She asked it of Roland Martin, another Wizard of Smart who populates the airwaves at CNN, and this was what he said in response to her insightful question&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>MARTIN: Anytime we talk about dealing with this issue, uh, folks, what do they do? They run to the far extreme by saying (mocking), &#8220;Ohhhh, they\u2019re trying to take our guns.&#8221; This is why we can never move forward, because they want to go automatically to (whining), &#8220;They\u2019re taking our guns! They\u2019re taking our guns!&#8221; Calm down. Stop it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right, what do you want to do?<\/p>\n<p>What is gun control?<\/p>\n<p>What is making modifications to Second Amendment, Roland? How ignorant do you think we are? People are reacting quite rationally here to what they\u2019re hearing and seeing in the media when they\u2019re going out and joining the NRA and buying guns. They know what they\u2019re up against. They\u2019ve heard Democrats all their lives. They know what you guys really want. Your problem is the existence of guns.<\/p>\n<p>Now you got your president and vice president contemplating executive action. To do what? Make them cheaper? Make \u2019em safer? Regulate bullets? Then they went to their &#8220;conservative,&#8221; the house conservative at CNN, a guy named Will Cain. Carol Costello said, &#8220;Doesn\u2019t it sound like a threat, Will, that Obama and Biden say they\u2019ll use executive action to control guns? It\u2019s not exactly a great negotiating point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_71425\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CNN3.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CAIN: Rush Limbaugh\u2019s wrong. He\u2019s not going to be able to trump the Second Amendment. President Obama is not going to be able to trump the Second Amendment with an executive order.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, um, that doesn\u2019t mean he won\u2019t try.<\/p>\n<p>You know, Obama will try anything and has &#8212; and nobody stops him, by the way. He has trumped the Constitution\u2019s First Amendment on religious liberty. He has trumped the Constitution on immigration. He essentially granted amnesty to a million kids without benefit of legislation. He\u2019ll do anything that nobody tries to stop him from doing. Of course an executive order doesn\u2019t legally trump the Constitution!<\/p>\n<p>But if he issues an executive order to try to confiscate guns or something along those lines, and nobody stops him, does he not get away with it? So he has trumped it, then. Again, I have to tell you: It just is amazing to me how&#8230; I don\u2019t even know how to say it right, \u2019cause I don\u2019t want to be insulting. I\u2019m really not trying to be insulting. I am stunned at how&#8230; I guess the kindest word is &#8220;ignorant&#8221; people are about, you know, what we\u2019re dealing with here. It\u2019s stunning.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This ought to be the theme song for the new show on the Oxygen network\u2019s All My Babies\u2019 Mamas. It\u2019s Love Rollercoaster, the Ohio Players.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. I have two more sound bites and next segment we\u2019ll go to your phone calls. So I said yesterday &#8212; in humor, sarcasm, irony &#8212; &#8220;Who knew an executive order could trump the Constitution?&#8221; It can\u2019t! The point was that Obama and Biden are trying to do just that. Who&#8230;? These people actually think that I was saying that I thought an executive order trumps the Constitution, and they had to make a point that I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. And it\u2019s they with no humor ability at all. They don\u2019t get subtlety or irony.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_71424\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CNN4Banfield.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Here, first off, Ashleigh Banfield&#8230;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BANFIELD: No. No. Sorry! No, Rush. You are very entertaining and I\u2019m sure a lovely man, but you are wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I will say this. What Rush Limbaugh is saying is something that is being echoed across this country. People are panicking. They hear, &#8220;Oh, rule by fiat! Our guns are going.&#8221; An executive order is very powerful but it cannot supersede the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Exactly. That\u2019s exactly the point. And yet we\u2019re governed by people who will try it. Duh! And here is Jeffrey Toobin. The legal beagle at CNN weighs in.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_71423\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CNN5Toobin.jpg\"\/><BR\/>TOOBIN: Nor can it supersede a law that Congress has passed, for example.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No kidding!<\/p>\n<p>TOOBIN: There was an Assault Weapons Ban from 1994 to 2004. President Obama &#8212; on his own, by executive order &#8212; cannot impose an assault weapons ban, because Congress has to do that. Only Congress can pass a law.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Stop the tape! Stop it. Where are you people? Are you paying attention to what this president is doing? He\u2019s using executive orders, or wants to, in violation of the very things you\u2019re describing, and you don\u2019t see it? You think I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about when I\u2019m subtly making the point? I literally, folks&#8230; I\u2019m stunned at this.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>Look, just a couple more things on this and I\u2019m gonna get back to the phones.<\/p>\n<p>You people at CNN, with all due respect, you need to be telling Joe Biden and Obama what you\u2019re telling me. &#8216;Cause I already know it. I know an executive order doesn\u2019t trump the Constitution. You don\u2019t need to tell me. You need to be telling Obama and Biden. They\u2019re the ones contemplating using one. I\u2019m not. I got it. If you don\u2019t understand, let me put it in terms that maybe you all at CNN would understand. If George Bush and Dick Cheney (throw him in there) and Alberto Gonzalez&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s throw all three of those guys: The attorney general, the vice president, and Bush. If they got together and decided too many people were dying because of abortion in this country and said that they were looking at ways to curb abortion, and that one of the things that they were thinking of doing was using executive orders on abortion, what do you think your reaction would be? I\u2019m telling you, outraged panic would set in. If the vice president, Dick Cheney, had gone on television like Biden did and said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, yeah, this abortion, it\u2019s killing too many kids. Look at numbers! Over a million kids are dead every year because of abortion, and we\u2019ve got to stop this, and we\u2019re looking at any number of ways to stop it, and one of the things we\u2019re looking at is an executive order,&#8221; can you imagine what you guys at CNN would be doing? My gosh, you\u2019d be having cows. And you\u2019d be out there shouting, &#8220;You can\u2019t do that! You can\u2019t do that! You can\u2019t do that! Abortion\u2019s protected by the Constitution. You can\u2019t do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, we\u2019re just looking at an executive order.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Bush, Cheney, and Alberto Gonzales talked about issuing an executive order on abortion, would they be laughing at CNN? Would Carol Costello be laughing at anybody who thought it might put abortion at risk? &#8220;Come on, they\u2019re nothing! Come on, don\u2019t get so panicked. An executive order doesn\u2019t trump the Constitution. They can\u2019t ban abortion with executive order. Don\u2019t worry about it, Carol!&#8221; Yeah, right. &#8220;Don\u2019t worry about it, Ashley! Don\u2019t worry about it, Roland. Don\u2019t worry about it, Jeffrey. An executive order can\u2019t trump abortion in the Constitution. Roe v. Wade. It\u2019s right there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>New York Times: &#8220;Cuomo to Press for Wider Curbs on Gun Access.&#8221; By the way, we have the sound bites from Governor Cuomo, <a target=\"_blank\" view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=13538\">Andrew the Pious<\/a>, and I\u2019m telling you: He\u2019s fit to be tied. So you got New York Times: &#8220;Cuomo to Press for Wider Curbs on Gun Access.&#8221; What does that mean? What are these people trying to do when it comes to guns? Limit them. Take them away. Confiscate them. Who knows? But we all know what Democrats want, and we all know what Democrats think about the Second Amendment. I\u2019ve run into Republicans &#8212; moderate, Northeasterner Republicans &#8212; who\u2019ve harangued me over guns. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Well, folks, my New Year\u2019s resolution to adopt a lower profile is now totally blown.
