Gun control doesn’t work

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.

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.”

Tucker: Where’s the Christian concern?

I’m only suggesting that one factor that Christians use to assess the behavior of their government and other governments ought to be the treatment of Christians. It ought to be, why is it not?

Published

Tucker questions why American churches seem to have little concern for or knowledge of what’s happening to their fellow Christians around the world. Highlights include:

“Christians can absolutely get it wrong, and do. They can follow the wrong path, they can be mistaken, they can be silly and profane, they can commit the worst sins imaginable, but the one thing they cannot do is be afraid, period. And so, boldness… is not just this added extra, it’s a baseline requirement for following the gospel, and if you’re not doing that, you’re not doing it right. So, that’s the first thing, don’t be afraid. The second thing I notice in reading Paul’s letters is his deep concern for his fellow Christians.”

“I’m only suggesting that one factor that Christians use to assess the behavior of their government and other governments ought to be the treatment of Christians. It ought to be, why is it not?”

“We’re funding the Islamists who are killing the Christians – did anyone know that? No, of course not, churches never talk about it, that’s true. Are we for that? I’m not for that… Why doesn’t somebody stand up and say, ‘Wait a second, we’re funding the killing of Christians? No, I’m a Christian, I’m against that.”

“The conflict between Russia and Ukraine? Super complicated. I don’t think there’s an easy answer, I don’t think there’s a ‘good guy’ and a ‘bad guy’… and the more I learn about it, the more I’m confused. I’m certainly not endorsing Russia… But, one of the guides that we as Christians should use to assess that situation is, how do Christians fare in those countries? It’s totally legitimate to ask that question. Is it easier to be a Christian in Russia or Ukraine?”

“One of those countries just arrested a bunch of priests and shut down churches with political police and the army. It wasn’t Russia. I raised that question at a Christian gathering, people scowled at me. Really? They’re arresting priests? I don’t need to know more.”

Tucker: Viktor Orbán on Ukraine, Russia and Hungary

If any western country would send any boots on the ground, that would mean a direct war between the west and Russia.

Published

Tucker and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán talk about the war in Ukraine, how Americans are being lied to about it, and about Hungary’s success as a nation. Highlights include:

“As the war in Ukraine completely reshuffles the world order and threatens to destroy human civilization, it’s striking just how little information Americans are receiving about what happens there. The nation of Hungary shares a border with Ukraine. Its leader, Viktor Orbán, the nation’s longest serving Prime Minister, has been dealing with the Russians all of his life. He grew up under Russian occupation. As a young man, he was arrested and thrown in to jail by Russian-backed police for his efforts to liberate the country. In his Prime Ministry, he’s dealt regularly with Vladimir Putin, whose nation supplies Hungary with most of its energy. Viktor Orbán understands Russian and Ukraine. So, two years after we last spoke to him, we returned to Hungry to sit down with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and ask him, what exactly is happening in Ukraine right now?

“When you speak on politics in Russian … the number one issue, how to keep together the country… Freedom is just another issue, second, third, whatever. First, keep the country together, and that’s generated a different kind of culture and understanding of politics. That’s creating a kind of military approach, like they have.”

Trending on PolitiCrossing.com: Tucker: Where’s the Christian concern?

“They will not kill their leader, they will never give it up, they will keep together the country [sic] and they will defend it. We finance more, they will invest more. If we send more technical equipment, they will produce more. So, don’t misunderstand the Russians.

“Now, Putin is in power for long, long years [sic]. We forgot about how dangerous when there is no strong leadership or interregnum in Russian. The interregnum is the worst case possible… If this is the goal, it’s a mistake. It’s more than dangerous.

“If any western country would send any boots on the ground, that would mean a direct war between the west and Russia, and we are in a third world war immediately, so it’s a very dangerous moment now.

“Ideology is a very difficult thing, because it has an exclusivity. So, when the liberal says that this is the interpretation of society, it means that this is the only way to interpret a society. If you do differently, you cannot be a good man. So, we have another interpretation, we have a Christian and national, more traditional interpretation of human being and society, but they can’t accept it because it’s different.

“If you ask anybody on the street that any Hungarian leader who is elected freely can be a puppet of Putin or the Russians, they say it’s a joke, it’s impossible, because we are a sovereign country, and even to the Russians we deliver many times that we are sovereign.”
