Hatch made the comment during an interview with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, who asked, "Do you think, if he had his druthers, President Obama would repeal the Second Amendment?" according to the Huffington Post.

"I don't think there's any question about it. Most liberal Democrats would," Hatch responded. "I don't know of any liberal Republicans that would, but most liberal Democrats would. They'll mouth that they wouldn't, but look, what are they doing? They want more and more controls."
