Sarah Palin's Safari Club Speech Addresses Second Amendment Rights, Tucson Tragedy

First Posted: 01/30/11 10:12 PM Updated: 01/30/11 10:20 PM



Sarah Palin spoke about Second Amendment rights while addressing members of the Safari Club, an international hunting organization, on Saturday night in Reno, Nev., the Reno Gazette Journal reports.

The former Alaska governor's remarks on the contentious issue came in a 40-minute speech delivered to roughly 2,000 guests dressed in formal attire, according to the local outlet. Tickets for the event reportedly cost $100.

"My heart of course aches for the families of those who lost their lives at the hands of a deranged evil criminal, OK," she said, the Daily Beast reports. "And like you I'm praying for the victims, for their full recovery, watching in amazement reports of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, pulling for her, so thankful that her life was spared."

Palin went on to share what appeared to be a take-away point for her following the incident. She said, "We must not allow this tragedy to stifle our constitutionally protected rights," adding, "including our Second Amendment rights. Beware of what's coming."

1. Saps.

Total saps.

Another political speech by this douchebag this time under the guise of being a hunter's/outdoorsman event.

Keep writin' those big checks, saps. Bigger donations increase the chance of some cleavage.

Sarah loves you.

[burrfoot]

16. She's a loon, no doubt...

but I would totally donate in order to see more cleavage.....

2. You may not like the messenger, but the message bears repeating

"We must not allow this tragedy to stifle our constitutionally protected rights," adding, "including our Second Amendment rights. Beware of what's coming."

[sharesunited]

4. That's kind of a bastardization of the term "rights" though.

Your real constitutional rights are under constant threat when anyone with a gun can cut you down.

[spin]

12. Without RKBA our Constitution would have ended up in the garbage bin years ago ...

because of RKBA, we have the longest lasting written constitution in the world.

Our Constitution is quite possibly the most progressive and liberal document ever written to establish a government.

The United States of America was the first country to be founded on the liberal ideas of John Locke and other philosophers of the Enlightenment, with no monarchy, no hereditary aristocracy, and no established religion. The American Bill of Rights guarantees every citizen the freedoms advocated by the liberal philosophers: freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to gather in peaceful assembly, the right to petition the government for redress of grievances, and the right to bear arms, among other freedoms and rights. In this sense, virtually all Americans are liberals. However, questions arose, both before and after the country was founded. In the Dred Scott decision of 1856-57, the Supreme Court ruled that these rights only applied to White men, and that Blacks had no rights what-so-ever that any White man was obliged to respect. Therefore the constitution was amended several times to extend these rights to ever larger classes of citizens, to all citizens in 1868, then specifically to Blacks in 1870, to women in 1919, and to people unable to afford a poll tax in 1964.

The fact that American citizens are armed and enjoy freedom of the press and freedom of speech has served as a deterrent to our government gaining too much power and turning into a tyranny.

19. You're claiming the right to go to war with your government.

That was settled to the contrary in 1865.

And we never want to go anywhere near that internal conflict again.

Among other reasons, it is wholly undemocratic.

18. I call bs

Your real constitutional rights are under constant threat when someone like you tries to take them away.

[Lint Head]

5. No one is stifling anyone's gun rights.

That is the big lie. Name one "influential "person wanting to totally take away your guns. People that think the 2nd Amendment is about shooting burglars and car jackers do not understand the meaning of the 2nd Amendment. I have had guns for 50 years and I have heard this same old propaganda over and over. Be afraid! Be very afraid there coming for your guns! The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. People that are afraid end up killing innocent human beings. That almost happened in Tucson.

[shadowrider]

6. Since I could name them, but you've framed the question so YOU

determine whether or not they're influential, no thanks.

[friendly_iconoclast]

9. Ahh, the "empathy" card is played....

Let me guess: You're all for reasonable and common-sense gun control.

[Glassunion]

14. Janet Reno, Bill Clinton, Howard Metzanbaum, Prof. Dean Morris...

Shall I go on?

I find it ironic that your avatar is Robert Johnson. Mayor Bloomberg wants to specifically bar him from purchasing firearms.

[MicaelS]

15. False.....here is a list right here....

Or do US Senators, Congressman, and the US Attorney General not count as influential?

[benEzra]

20. Nobody is trying to ban *all* guns, just the most popular ones.

The "if a right isn't infringed to the most extreme degree possible, then it's not infringed at all" argument is bogus. The Bush Administration didn't want to imprison all Americans without trial, just the ones they accused of being a threat to "homeland security". The Religious Right doesn't want to outlaw all abortions, just elective ones; they don't want to ban all books and films, just the ones they disapprove of; and they don't want to ban all religions, just the ones they feel threatened by.

I can cite one bill in Congress right now, H.R.308 (McCarthy et al) that would outlaw and ultimately confiscate perhaps a quarter billion standard factory magazines owned by ~40 million people, and the burden of proof would be on the current owners to show that those particular mags were owned by the cutoff date. So that Winchester 1873 in the attic that belonged to your great-great-great grandfather, or the spare magazine in the bottom of your old range bag, could get you 10 years in Federal prison, for mere possession of items so mundane that half of gun-owning households possess them.

7. I dont like the messanger, but do you? nm

[shadowrider]

8. The messenger has nothing to do with the message. This isn't a political board

it's the Gun Forum. I keep to the subject at hand.

[rhett o rick]

10. They cant be separated. If gun "enthusiast" support Palin, it is a political issue. nm

[shadowrider]

11. You couldn't be more wrong

I support the MESSAGE, not the messenger

Based on that logic, I should be in love with Bloomberg and the Brady Campaign. Again, you wouldn't be more wrong.

[safeinOhio]

3. Nonpartisan NRA spokesperson

and Board of Directors member Ted Nugent also speaks out on Tucson.


I say conservatives should turn up the rhetoric. When honestly identified, the hues and cries from the right are good for America, calls to get America back on track. Only those opposed to such an upgrade would find fault with such rhetoric.
If liberals truly wanted to tone down the rhetoric, they couldprove it by stopping the lying. But that won't happen. Mr. Krugman and other liberals know that if it weren't for a steady drumbeat of lies and deceit, the Democratic Party would cease to exist.
Don't fall for it. It is yet another liberal ruse to deflect, obfuscate, blame and deny. That's the liberal modus operandi.

How about that nonpartisan group?

13. $200k in one sitting...that's more than Brady raises in a year..
