Maher: Lots of Liberals Talking About Guns ‘Don’t Know Sh*t About Guns’

Bill Maher went off tonight on liberals who talk about guns when they “don’t know shit about guns.” He said it’s like “when the Pope talks about vaginas.”

Conservatives have taken serious issue with how the gun debate is being framed in the media, especially by people who know nothing about guns and are distorting facts.

Maher pushed back against some of those distorted facts and said that there are plenty of guns just as deadly as the AR-15 that no one is talking about banning.

The Daily Beast’s Betsy Woodruff pointed out that AR-15s are used to commit just a “teensy tiny fraction” of mass shootings.

Maher even went so far as to say “this is a little bit elitist and a little bit racist,” given the focus on “when shootings happen to white people in nice places.”
