\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: So in the midst of all of this, you know what just happened? Were you happening to watch TV? (interruption) You were screening calls; you didn\u2019t see it. The secretary of defense is out there — our illustrious secretary of defense, Ash Carter — during that last commercial break was out doing an announcement. And do you know what he announced? He announced that — wait for it — women will now be allowed to participate in most, if not all, combat roles in the US military. Take that, ISIS! Take that. In the midst of all of this. That\u2019s as absurd as Obama going out and talking about gun control. <\/p>\n

You want to know how tone deaf the Democrats are? <\/line><\/p>\n

You want to know how tone deaf the Washington establishment is? <\/p>\n

You couldn\u2019t pick a worse time to start talking about gun control, gun confiscation. You couldn\u2019t pick a worse time, from a political standpoint. You\u2019re the Democrat, you want new gun control laws, you want to be able to convince people to give up their guns because they\u2019ll be safer, and you do that today? You do that last night? Everybody\u2019s worried about domestic terrorism. Everybody\u2019s worried about this influx of illegal immigrants from everywhere. We now have Islamic refugees pouring into the country at the direction of the administration, the president. We\u2019ve got rioters. We\u2019ve got things going crazy on college campuses. We got potentially violent protests happening all over the country. Obama is letting felons out of jail. And they now want to talk about disarming us? How stupid are they really?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right, a man, a legend, a way of life. Let me declare something here, folks, in terms of gun control. Don\u2019t doubt me. There isn\u2019t a gun control law or any proposed gun control law that would have prevented what happened yesterday in San Bernardino from happening. All the gun control laws that the left has proposed, even confiscating guns, would not have stopped what happened. If you want to get caught up in this gun control business, be very, very careful, because you can go all the way.<\/p>\n

You could support… In a theoretical, hypothetical exercise, you could say, “I support getting rid of every gun.” You could be confiscating every gun. Go to every house, get everybody\u2019s gun — if you could even do that, which you won\u2019t be able to do. But if you could, you would not have stopped what happened last night. And that\u2019s the bottom line. You know why? Because those people would not have been deterred. They wouldn\u2019t have given up their guns. They would have opened fire first, or found someplace to hide them. They\u2019re criminals! They\u2019re jihadists! They don\u2019t obey the law.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what\u2019s wrong with this entire gun control movement. <\/line><\/p>\n

What illustrates it for us is something that\u2019s true: It is not about controlling guns. It\u2019s about controlling us. The left — in this insane desire of theirs to get guns out of everybody\u2019s hands — is not about getting guns out of everybody\u2019s hands. It\u2019s about controlling you. It\u2019s about further enriching the empowerment of government. It\u2019s nothing to do with gun safety or anything. It\u2019s like every other leftist issue: It\u2019s always a camouflage for what they really are trying to achieve. But you could go find your most radical gun control proposal made by your most radical leftist Democrat in any state or in the United States Congress.<\/p>\n

You will not find a gun control law, either one that he exists or one that\u2019s been proposed, that would have stopped what happened in San Bernardino. It\u2019s the truth. It\u2019s just the way it is. Now, you can reject it if you want. You can say I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about or that I\u2019m trying to Svengali you or convince you of things that are untrue. But there\u2019s nothing in it for me to convince you of things that aren\u2019t by lying you. There\u2019s no long-term good in that. There\u2019s no reason to want to lie to you. You\u2019re already being lied to. <\/p>\n

Way too many people are lying to you all too often, but it doesn\u2019t happen here. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mike in Holly Hills, Florida. Mike I\u2019m glad you waited, to the program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. Dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, two things to say before I get to my point. Rush, thank you, because you let my wife know that she was conservative. (chuckles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well!<\/p>\n

CALLER: And that was a wonderful thing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Happy to help.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It was great.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s big. It\u2019s really big.<\/p>\n

CALLER: For years I\u2019d have you on the radio in the house, and she\u2019d gripe about you, gripe about you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s great.<\/p>\n

CALLER: She\u2019s a mail carrier, and then she was out on the mail route, and she couldn\u2019t get any station except you and she started listening to it. What a job you did, my man.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Happy to help you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, very much.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Better get to your point because time is short.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, the point is this. Your point about the people arming up is exactly true. I\u2019m a firearms instructor. I\u2019ve been inactive for about a year. <\/line>Since this attack yesterday, I\u2019ve got three different groups of people call me to ask for firearms instruction licenses, people that are going to arm up. So the president\u2019s call for taking our guns is exactly the opposite of what\u2019s really happening. Anecdotally, people are arming up, not disarming, and they\u2019re not gonna be disarmed by this president, I don\u2019t believe.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, no, they won\u2019t put up with it. In fact, every time the president talks about it, gun sales reach new records. He has to know that, by the way. Every time he alludes to the need for more gun control laws, what happens? People flock to gun shows and gun stores, and they start stocking up. They call people like you. They want lessons; they want to get permits — in some cases, concealed carry permits. They\u2019re tough to do, but some people want them. And it\u2019s a natural reaction here. The sound bite I had was the sheriff, the police department, the police chief listing all the weapons they found in the house in San Bernardino, which I had mentioned earlier. It\u2019s an incredibly long list, but there just isn\u2019t time. I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
