Talking with Channel 4 London’s Krishnan Guru-Murthy just hours after the news of the shooting began to surface, the legendary rapper shot down claims that the Aurora tragedy should be linked to gun rights. “I’d give up my gun when everybody else does,” Ice-T said. ”The right to bear arms is because that’s the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It’s to protect yourself from the police.” “And do you see any link between that and these sort of incidents?” Guru-Murthy asked. “No. Not really,” the rapper added. “If somebody wants to kill people, you know, they don’t need a gun to do it.”

He’s an avowed multiple felon (though never caught and convicted for the crimes he claims to have committed). I like what he’s saying NOW, and I’ll give thanks to God if the man has truly reformed, but I’m hesitant to admire the man due to his past.

He’s not Ice-T, he’s Ice-Tea-Party!!!

For a man with a wild past he is very wise. I watch the reality of him and his wife. This guy got a very high IQ. Very rational thinker.
Sandra
“reality show” I mean.

Don’t believe this article says. Pay attention to the video and you’ll detect that he says the 2nd amendment is so people can protect themselves from the POLICE, not tyrannical gummint, in other words, so they can shoot cops–not remove oppressive gummint. At the end of the video, he makes some comment about country being stolen land. In reality, it appears he’s like all the other Hollyweird socialists. Damm people, wake up and listen. Are you so desparate that you jump on everything that SOUNDS supportive of the constitution when it isn’t.

I won’t give up my gun when everyone else does. You’ll have to take it from me. And GOOD LUCK!!!
"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich.

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E. Cupp, MSNBC Host and The Blaze Contributor
