Mark Levin: 'The NRA Doesn't Kill People. That's Planned Parenthood!'

Dana Mathewson

Just by reading the title above, you know this is going to be good! Mark Levin is normally quiet and laid-back -- you can tell this if you see him on television. But when he gets aroused, look out!

On his radio show yesterday, conservative talker Mark Levin crushed the Democratic candidates for president who want to take away Americans' guns. He first played audio of Beto O'Rourke, Joe Biden, and Elizabeth Warren, who can be heard saying that guns pose a major threat to America's safety. And then? Well, then Mark Levin did what Mark Levin does best: destroyed them all.

First up is Beto O'Rourke, the Irish-Texan with the inexplicably Hispanic sounding name. O'Rourke can be heard saying that he wants to take away Americans' semi-automatic firearms. If elected president, "that's exactly what we're going to do," he added, after which he goes on the need to protect Americans from mass shootings in churches, synagogues, and malls.

"No amount of logic and facts will change an emotional appeal like this," Levin responded. The vast majority of people who are murdered in this country are murdered with pistols, not AR15s and not AK47s. They're murdered with pistols. Pistols."

Additionally, Levin added, study after study finds that the push for lighter cars has made its inhabitants extremely unsafe. Far more people die because their cars are lighter now than a few decades ago than from guns. Strangely, however, there is "never any talk about that. Ever."

"And this guy [O'Rourke], he has no constitutional basis for this, but he's hoping to get a few courts, Obama judges, cobble together five justices on the Supreme Court. Not that hard, really. You've got the four hardliners on the left, and you can probably pick off a Roberts or even Kavanaugh quite frankly."

"I want to be really clear," Levin said, "This is a man I bet who has never read the Constitution from beginning to the end. It doesn't matter."

And then Levin has a great time going after Joe Biden (who is admittedly a pretty soft target) and then he tears into Sen. Gray Bea... excuse me, Sen. Elizabeth Warren. I really wish I'd been able to hear the show.
