Bill Maher and Lawrence O’Donnell got in a shouting match with the conservative panelists back in May of 2013.
Maher called out whole premise of the “tyranny” argument by declaring that the second amendment is not going to protect anyone’s personal liberties. He brought up the fact that the government had the clear weapons and ammo advantage at Waco, arguing that the government is too well-equipped for anyone to seriously oppose it. That led to a big shouting match
“Can we get, first of all, to how ridiculous it is for people to think that the Second Amendment protects them from tyranny. Didn’t Waco solve that? We just had the anniversary a couple of weeks ago. Remember Waco? You know what they had in Waco? They had like 1.9 million rounds of ammunition; they had .50 cal machine guns; they had grenades. What did the government have? Everything else! The winner and still champion – the United States government.”
