Things got heated during a segment about background checks and gun control legislation during a panel discussion on This Week when Nightline anchor Terry Moran told Karl Rove that he was “scaring people” with talk about gun confiscation and black helicopters.Rove told fellow panelist Jim Messina that the laws President Obama is proposing would not have prevented the Newtown massacre. “Those guns were legally purchased with a background check, this would not have stopped something like that. Let’s be very careful about quickly trampling on the rights of people,” he said.“Look, you want to get something done then stop scaring people. Don’t say we’re gonna keep a registry of all these guns,” he said.Moran interrupted Rove.“You’re scaring people with this Orewellian sense that black helicopters and the government, if we register guns, are going to confiscate American’s guns. That kind of paranoia” Moran said before being interrupted by Rove.
