Tucker questions the reported effectiveness of red flag laws when two recent mass shootings reported happened in states with red flag laws, and profiles the perpetrator of the latest. Highlights include:
“Amazingly, it was just over a week ago that Joe Biden singlehandedly ended gun violence in the United States. How’d you miss that? Well, you were probably distracted by all the other amazing things Joe Biden is doing, like making air travel more efficient and winning the war in Ukraine.”
“So you probably weren’t paying attention on June 25 when a law called the ‘Bipartisan Safer Communities Act’ was signed. And it, true to its name, was in fact bipartisan.”
“So the question is, will it live up to the second half? Will it make communities safer? Emphatically yes, said Joe Biden, ‘It’s going to save a lot of lives.’”
“What they never mentioned was, it was not only ridiculous and false, it was provably false, because, actually, gun control does not stop bad people from using guns. It’s not a talking point, it’s a fact.”
“Here’s how you know. On the day that 18-year-old Peyton Gendron murdered 10 people in Buffalo, the state of New York already had a red flag law, and Gendron was exactly the sort of person they told us that red flag laws would stop from committing mass murder.”
“Ask anyone who knows anything about violence and who isn’t getting paid to lie to you about it and you will learn the truth, which is it’s almost impossible to stop someone who’s dead set on harming other people.”
“Prison guards get killed regularly. There are no guns in prison, there are plenty of psychopaths. Psychopaths are the problem.”
“In case you need still more evidence, just yesterday on the 4th of July, there was yet another mass shooting in the state of Illinois. Illinois is a state with red flag laws, assault weapons bans, every other form of gun control that authoritarians can dream up in a country that still has a 2nd Amendment.”
“But the shooting happened anyway … and once again the shooter was exactly the person they’d claimed red flag laws would stop before they hurt others.”
