so 10 people dead that seemed like a
good pretext to get something you've
been calling for for a long time if
you're a washington democrat and of
course they wasted no time in using the
murders yesterday to begin their latest
attempt at disarming you
you didn't commit a crime but they want
you to suffer for what happened
yesterday in boulder watch
it's a sad reminder covet is not the
only epidemic in our country
we have to confront the devastating
unrelenting
epidemic of gun violence that steals
thousands of innocent lives across this
country
i've already committed to bringing
universal background checks legislation
to the floor of the senate
for years democrats have pushed for
action to stop this killing with common
sense reform
that will save lives now we can act
and we will this hearing i hope will
open a conversation
about constitutional common sense ways
to reduce gun violence in america
inaction has made this horror
completely predictable inaction by this
congress
makes us complicit
yeah people surrounded by
armed soldiers are telling you you don't
have a right to have a gun
because some lunatic in another state
committed a senseless crime
right common sense gun reform they're
never more specific
right now the only clear legislative
path democrats have to change gun laws
in this country would be by eliminating
the filibuster and making this
officially a one-party state
that would change the country forever
for the next two years democrats could
pass any law they wanted and as you know
they absolutely would so far they have
not been able to get rid of the
filibuster but democrats are already
using yesterday's shooting to propose
doing just that the question is
in washington actually were or do we
need to get rid of that filibuster i
actually think this is going to be
another indictment
of the filibuster and this is one more
example of why
in the least we need significant
filibuster reform
the problem is in the senate even with a
majority a slim majority
because of the filibuster it's going to
be very very difficult to get anything
done
you know the filibuster to many of us is
a
tool and instrument for government
gridlock we need to do away with the
filibuster
yeah so maybe this was why i remember
those two kind of lame
senate candidates running for the kind
of lame
party in washington and georgia in
january
this is why it was worth electing them
but of course we didn't
anyway democrats in congress are not
alone in their push for gun control the
women of the view agree television talk
show host
sonny hostin who doubtless has bodyguard
she lives in a 10 bedroom 10 bath
mansion once you know that owning a gun
makes her feel like she's being held
hostage
that is not freedom because i
feel like a hostage right now i feel
like a hostage to the selfish people
that insist
on owning these types of weapons that is
not freedom
in this country you are not a patriot
because you think you have the right
to own these types of weapons you are
not a patriot
you should be taking care of your fellow
americans
okay mansion lady if you're so concerned
about it why don't you
disarm your bodyguards the ones at your
house
the ones at work and tell us how you
like living
in this country with thanks to your
ideas as becoming increasingly chaotic
and dangerous
without any firearm around to protect
you
oh you don't want to do that you want to
lecture the rest of us as selfish gun
owners holding you hostage
it's all pretty amusing colin noir is
the second amendment advocate he
joins us now to assess what is happening
to
our second amendment rights colleen i
appreciate your coming on tonight so
this is as predictable um as you can
imagine some lunatic commits a
horrifying crime
therefore the rest of us aren't allowed
to defend ourselves
does this have any chance of happening
do you think
now yeah largely because of the way
things look in congress um and as you
pointed out earlier in your talking
points
um that's why that georgia election was
so incredibly important
and i know i made a series of videos
talking about that
a lot of people didn't really heed that
warning because they wanted just to vote
along party lines which again the lack
of independent thought is becoming
increasingly increasingly more dangerous
so i gotta wonder like why if somebody
does something horrible
in boulder does that mean you need to
strip from people the single most
popular sporting rifle in america the
one that commits relatively
few crimes i mean more people are killed
by a factor of five
by knives than by rifles in this country
why are they so intent on taking this
one firearm away
because honestly if you really look at
it a lot of people like to
undervalue what the second amendment was
actually written for and it was designed
to be a check against the government a
lot of people don't like to talk about
that aspect of course it was also there
to allow to defend ourselves but if you
think about it
the ar-15 symbolically and literally is
the
best defense against a tyrannical
government and then not only that it
serves as a
excellent precursor for them to then
inevitably get to the point where they
really want to get to which is
essentially the handguns
see they can sell the whole idea of the
ar-15 needing to be banned because it's
evil and it's only meant for killing as
they like to say which is not true
and so once they get that and then as
you pointed out it represents such a
minor aspect of gun violence in this
country then we have another shooting
that happens
which it will and then they'll go ahead
and use that to justify
further restricting our rights again and
so they'll take a little bit at a time
wait for another tragedy
and take a little bit more after that
and so that's why i implore people when
they when they elect these officials
there are consequences for this because
they are supposed to be our
representatives
and so as long as we continue to elect
them without any recourse whenever they
do things like
vote for gun control we're going to
continue to see this over
and over and over again and before you
know it we won't have a second amendment
yeah that's right and by the way
democrats aren't even enforcing
existing gun laws in washington new york
chicago they ignore them
kim fox in chicago ignores the gun laws
but then they wanted to because it was
never
didn't vote for them i'm sorry
oh no i mean look the commerce the the
the conversation about firearms in this
country is so disingenuous it's
unbelievable
this has nothing to do with saving lives
if you look at hr 8 and the other
uh bill that's in the house that just
passed the house that's now going to go
to the senate
none of those things would have stopped
any of the most recent shootings that
we've had
none of them yeah so why are we pushing
policy
that's not going to do anything other
than grant more power
to the government that's the overarching
goal there and i think a lot of people
really
have to start understanding that and
take it for what it is
i don't think i i think this could be
pushing the country too far i hope they
don't try
to do that colleen norris great i agree
with you
absolutely thanks for having me tucker
