I was kind of speechless when I read that second quote. Not just anti 2nd Amendment but anti American.
It looks like Jay Leno's audience wasn't quite sure how they should respond to Bill Maher's comments about the Arizona shootings this past weekend. When he appeared on 'The Tonight Show' (Weeknights, 11:35PM on NBC), Leno asked him for is take on the situation.
Maher immediately launched into a verbal attack on the NRA and gun proponents who stand behind the 2nd Amendment and the Constitution. "If you love guns, just admit it like it's a vice," he said. "It's like alcohol or drugs or sex addiction or gambling."
At one point, he renamed the NRA (National Rifle Association) the Assassins Lobby, because according to Maher, that's what they are. When there was a tepid applause from the crowd, he said, "You can applaud that."
We're not sure if it was nervousness about taking a strong stance on once side or another of the issue that had them so quiet and sounding uncomfortable, or just the fact that the issue was being talked about so vehemently and passionately on 'The Tonight Show.' Let's face it, it's not exactly a venue known for taking hard political stands on any issues.
