>> YESTERDAY WE HAD A SHOOTING AT UCLA.
WE DO THIS SHOW OUT OF
LOS ANGELES AND IT IS FAIRLY CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE, IN FACT I
HEARD SIRENS ALL MORNING.
AMBULANCES, COPS, BOMB SQUADS,
THEY FLOODED THE AREA.
TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED INCLUDING THE
GUNMAN.
IT TURNS OUT HE ALSO KILLED SOMEONE ELSE IN
MINNESOTA.
OBVIOUSLY HE HAD MENTAL ISSUES, AND FIRST WENT
AFTER -- ACTUALLY BE THOUGHT HE FIRST WENT AFTER WILLIAM KLUG,
THE PROFESSOR HE SHOT AND KILLED AT UCLA, BUT EARLIER HE WENT
AFTER A WOMAN WE BELIEVE HE WAS LINKED WITH.
HIS NAME IS MAINAK
SARKAR, AND HE KILLED A WOMAN ON HIS QUOTE UNQUOTE TO LIST IN
MINNESOTA.
I WILL TELL YOU HOW HE GOT HIS GUNS IN A SECOND, AND
HOW HE DID THAT.
BUT LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT.
THREE PEOPLE ARE DEAD OVERALL INCLUDING THE GUNMAN, HE ALSO
HAD ANOTHER PROFESSOR ON HIS KILT LIST, LUCKILY THAT
PROFESSOR WAS NOT ON CAMPUS THAT DAY AND SURVIVED.
BUT SPEAKING
OF CAMPUS, LET ME GIVE YOU THIS STUNNING FACT --
>> ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
SANDY HOOK WAS NOT THAT LONG AGO.
YOU
ALL REMEMBER IT, RIGHT?
ALL THOSE POOR KIDS MURDERED THERE.
THERE HAVE BEEN 186 SHOOTINGS -- NOT LIKE 186 SHOOTINGS IN THE
WHOLE COUNTRY, 186 SHOOTINGS ON A SCHOOL CAMPUS SINCE SANDY
HOOK.
THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS THE WILD, WILD WEST, THE WHOLE
COUNTRY IS THE SHOOTOUT AT THE OK CORRAL.
WE HAVE GUNS
EVERYWHERE, AND CONSERVATIVES MAKE INSANE ARGUMENTS LIKE, UCLA
IS A GUN FREE ZONE, WHAT HAPPENED NOW?
THERE IS NO
INVISIBLE FORCE FIELD AROUND THE SCHOOL, AROUND A GUN FREE
ZONE, THAT AUTOMATICALLY KEEPS GUNS OUT.
THE GUN FREE ZONE IS
IF WE CATCH YOU WITH A GUN INSIDE THE ZONE, THERE WILL BE
HEAVIER PUNISHMENT.
BECAUSE YOU MIGHT USE IT LIKE THIS GUY DID
AND KILL PEOPLE ON CAMPUS, THAT IS WHY WE HAVEN'T.
IT IS NOT
BORN OF A BELIEF THAT PEOPLE WILL CHECK THEIR GUN AT THE
ZONE, NO, WE WILL BE PUNISHING YOU MORE IF WE CATCH YOU.
IN
THIS CASE WE DIDN'T CATCH THE GUY.
AND IT IS NOT LIKE THE GUN
FREE ZONE IS ON AN ISLAND BY ITSELF, IT IS SURROUNDED BY GUNS
ALL ACROSS.
WHERE DID THIS GUY GET THE GUN?
WE GO TO NATIONAL
REVIEW, WHICH IS IN FAVOR OF GUNS FOR EVERYBODY, AND HE
DOESN'T BELIEVE IN GUN CONTROL, ALMOST ANY GUN CONTROL, BUT THEY
ARE ACCURATE HERE IN EXPANDING WORKING FROM.
THEY SAY --
>> THE VAN, NATIONAL REVIEW, TAKES THAT AND GOES THAT'S IT,
SINCE HE GOT IT LEGALLY, THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
CONGRATULATIONS.
FIRST OF ALL, YES, THERE ARE REGULATIONS THAT
COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HELPED THE SITUATION.
CONSERVATIVES PUSHED
FOR TIME LIMITS IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE AN ABORTION.
WHAT I MEAN
BY THAT IS, YOU HAVE TO PAUSE FOR 24 HOURS OR 48 HOURS BEFORE
YOU HAVE THE ABORTION.
IN A LOT OF PLACES, ABORTIONS ARE DONE IN
REMOTE PLACES SO THAT IS A HUGE BURDEN ON THE WOMAN TO DRIVE
BACK AND FORTH.
WHEN YOU SAY IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUY A GUN WITH
WHICH YOU MIGHT EITHER MURDER SOMEONE OR ACTUALLY OFTENTIMES
COMMIT SUICIDE, WHY DON'T WE WAIT 24 HOURS?
IF YOU WAIT 24
HOURS BEFORE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A WEAPON, THE NUMBER OF SUICIDES
GO DOWN DRAMATICALLY.
YOU WOULD SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIVES IF YOU
HAD A 24-HOUR WAITING PERIOD.
IN THIS CASE THIS WAS A MURDER AND
A SUICIDE, BUT NOPE, HE HAD AN INSTANT BACKGROUND CHECK, HE
PASSED IT.
GIVE THEM THE GUNS, GIVE THEM THE GUNS, WE HAVE TO
MAKE MONEY.
MANUFACTURERS HAVE TO MAKE MONEY.
THERE IS THAT
LEGISLATION.
THEN THEY WILL TURN AROUND, THEY ASK OBAMA ON SOCIAL
MEDIA, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, BAN GUNS?
THEY THINK THAT IS
THEIR WINNING ARGUMENT, THAT IS THEM DROPPING THE MIC.
EVEN YOU
LIBERALS WON'T WANT TO BAN GUNS,? WRONG.
YOU WANT TO GO
NUTS BUT I WOULD BAN GUNS.
YEAH.
SO MANY OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE
BANNED THE GUNS.
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS?
THEY SAVE THOUSANDS
UPON THOUSANDS OF LIVES.
WE LEAD THE WORLD IN GUN DEATHS PER
CAPITA, BECAUSE WE LEAD THE WORLD IN GUNS PER CAPITA.
IT
DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE IT OUT.
BUT NO, I SEE
NO EVIL AND HEAR NO EVIL, I SEE NO GUN AND HEAR NO GUN.
ALMOST
ALL THESE MURDERS ARE DONE WITH GUNS, A TINY FRACTION ARE DONE
WITH ROPE AND KNIVES -- THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY ARE WITH
GUNS, AND SUICIDES BY THE WAY UNFORTUNATELY ARE ALSO WITH
GUNS.
I DON'T SEE THE GUNS, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE JUST AS
EASILY WITHOUT A GUN.
NO IT COULDN'T HAVE.
I TOLD YOU, IT IS
COMING TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 186 SCHOOL SHOOTINGS SINCE SANDY
HOOK.
EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS NEAR YOU, PEOPLE GO, I DIDN'T THINK
IT WOULD HAPPEN HERE.
IT WILL HAPPEN THERE, WHEREVER YOU ARE.
THERE WILL BE A SHOOTING AND IT WILL SHOCK YOU, IT SHOULDN'T.
WE
ARE IN AN OCEAN OF WEAPONRY.
YOU THINK THERE IS NOT A CERTAIN
PERCENTAGE OF THE COUNTRY THAT IS NOT CRAZY, POLITICALLY
MOTIVATED, RELIGIOUSLY MOTIVATED?
THEY ARE ALL CRAZY,
BUT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, THAT WON'T PICK UP A GUN THAT IS
SO READILY AVAILABLE, THAT YOU CAN GET INSTANTLY, AND USE IT?
YES, THEY ARE GOING TO, CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE COUNTRY WILL
DO THAT.
WHEN I SAY THAT NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO HAVE GUNS?
NO, BUT
I DO HAVE A VERY STRINGENT POLICY THAT I WOULD PASS.
AGAIN,
CONSERVATIVES, GET READY FOR YOUR HEAD TO EXPLODE, I KNOW YOU
THINK YOUR GUNS ARE THE MOST PRECIOUS THING, OTHERWISE HOW
COULD YOU PROVE YOUR MANLINESS?
YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THAT.
BUT I
WOULD SAY, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE A GUN, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED
TO HAVE IT ON YOU, THAT IS WHAT I MEAN BY BANNING GUNS.
YOUR GUN
CAN BE KEPT IN A LOCKER SOMEWHERE.
YOU WANT TO GO
HUNTING WAS BUT I GET IT, GO GET IT FROM A LOCKER THAT IS GUARDED
BY THE GOVERNMENT, AND THEN YOU CAN GO HUNTING.
THE GOVERNMENT
IS GOING TO OPPRESS ME -- THE GOVERNMENT IS OPPRESSING YOU
NOW, ARE YOU GOING TO SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD?
ARE YOU GOING TO BE
LIKE THE BUNDY GUYS?
THEY HAVE DONE HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT
ABUSES, YOU USUALLY BOW YOUR HEAD AND SAY I WILL LET THE
GOVERNMENT SPY ON ME, TAKE AWAY MY RIGHTS, BUT ONE DAY I MIGHT
SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD.
THAT IS A BRILLIANT PLAN, THAT IS GREAT.
REALLY SMART.
WHEN YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU WILL USE
IT TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT, LET'S MAKE CLEAR
WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, YOU ARE SAYING AT SOME POINT YOU ARE
READY TO MURDER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
USE THE GUN TO DO?
PET OR HUG THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS?
YOU
ARE GOING TO USE IT TO KILL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ONE DAY,
THAT IS THE RIGHT-WING IDEOLOGY.
I BELIEVE IT GOVERNMENT, AND ON
THE SHOW WE TALK ALL THE TIME ABOUT FIGHTING THE GOVERNMENT,
THROUGH POLITICAL AND DEMOCRATIC MEANS.
BY THE WAY, THROUGH CIVIL
DISOBEDIENCE.
YOU DON'T DO IT QUIETLY, YOU DO IT LOUDLY, BUT
YOU DON'T DO IT WITH A GUN AND YOU DON'T DO IT WITH VIOLENCE.
YOU CAN HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR WEAPONS, YES I WOULD LOCK THEM
AWAY, AND YES THAT WOULD SAVE MORE LIVES THAN ALMOST ANY
LEGISLATION WE CAN PASS.
BUT I KNOW, A LOT OF YOU WILL DISAGREE
AND YOU WILL SAY NO, I'M HAPPY TO HAVE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS
OF DEATHS AS I WANT MY FREEDOM.
YOU ARE NOT PART OF A
WELL-REGULATED MILITIA.
READ THE WHOLE SECOND AMENDMENT.
I KNOW
SOME OF YOU HAVE TROUBLE READING, READ THE WHOLE SECOND
AMENDMENT.
THERE IS A WHOLE CLAUSE SAYING THAT IT IS IF YOU
ARE PART OF A WELL REGULATED MILITIA, WHICH YOU MOST
CERTAINLY ARE NOT.
I KNOW, THE SUPREME COURT THOUGHT, BUT I
LIKE MY GUNS, I DON'T WANT TO READ THE WHOLE SECOND AMENDMENT,
THAT WOULD BE STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST.
OOPS, THAT IS
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ARGUING FOR ALL THIS TIME.
YES, THERE ARE
THINGS YOU CAN DO TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT CONSTANTLY MURDERED
IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS.
FINALLY, YES, THIS IS MY
NEIGHBORHOOD.
DOES THIS UPSET ME MORE?
I GUESS IN A SENSE, I WAS
PRETTY MAD YESTERDAY, BUT IF YOU WATCH THIS SHOW I'M PRETTY MAD
AFTER EVERY SHOOTING.
AFTER EVERY MESS SHOOTING.
AND
UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVE BECOME SO COMMON WE HAVE STOPPED
REPORTING ON AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THEM.
IT IS NOT JUST
BECAUSE IT HAPPENED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I AM MAD WHEN IT
HAPPENS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I'M TRYING TO PROTECT YOU SO
DOESN'T HAPPEN IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
A LOT OF YOU WON'T
ACCEPT THAT AND YOU THINK, I NEED TO GET MY OWN GUN.
AND I
ASKED ON TWITTER YESTERDAY, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
I DROP MY
KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL AND IT IS RIGHT BY HERE, SO TODAY THEY
MISSED ME BY ABOUT AN HOUR.
I WAS DROPPING THE KIDS OFF AROUND
8 O'CLOCK, THE SHOOTING HAPPENED AT AROUND 10 O'CLOCK.
I WASN'T
IN THAT EXACT PLACE BUT I EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN.
VERY CLOSE TO
WHERE I LIVE.
SO I ASKED, RHETORICALLY, WHAT DO YOU WANT
ME TO DO, LOCK AND LOAD BEFORE I DROP OFF MY KIDS TO ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL AND PRESCHOOL EVERYDAY?
AND OF COURSE, THE ANSWER WAS BY
A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLINE, YEAH, MAN.
WHAT KIND OF RESPONSIBLE
PARENT DOESN'T HAVE A LOADED GUN NEXT TO THEIR KID?
>>[FACEPALM]
>>I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOUR KIDS.
YOU HAVE A LOADED GUN NEXT YEAR
KID -- YOU EVER DROP OFF TWO KIDS FOR SCHOOL?
YOU DROP THE
LUNCH, WHERE ARE YOU GOING, THE OTHER ONE IS GOING OVER HERE --
AND OH NO, I DROPPED MY GUN.
OOPS.
DON'T DO IT, DON'T HAVE
LOADED GUNS NEAR YOUR KIDS.
THAT IS A BIGGER DANGER THAN
TERRORISTS BY 1000 MILES, IT IS A BIGGER DANGER THAN EVEN THESE
MASS SHOOTERS, IS THE GUN RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR KID'S HEAD.
I DON'T
WANT TO LIVE IN A SOCIETY WHERE I HAVE TO HAVE LOADED WEAPONS
NEAR MY THREE-YEAR-OLD AND FIVE-YEAR-OLD BECAUSE WE ALL
HAVE TO ACCEPT -- THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO, WHAT ARE
YOU GOING TO DO?
BAN GUNS?
WE HAVE 300 MILLION GUNS, THERE IS
NOTHING WE CAN DO.
I ALWAYS BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU
CAN DO AND I WON'T ACCEPT THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE OUR
KIDS SHOT ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES DAY AFTER DAY, I DON'T ACCEPT IT.
SO
THERE IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD DO ABOUT IT, THERE IS A LOT WE
SHOULD DO ABOUT IT.
AND UNTIL YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, AND
UNTIL WE CHANGE THE WAY POLITICS ARE FINANCED IN THIS COUNTRY,
GUN MANUFACTURERS WILL KEEP BUYING THOSE POLITICIANS AND YOU
WILL HAVE SHOOTINGS NEXT TO YOU.
DON'T BE SURPRISED.
EITHER YOU
FIGHT BACK POLITICALLY OR YOU BOW YOUR HEAD AND SAY, WELL, ME
OR MY FAMILY COULD BE SHOT AT ANY MOMENT.
AND IF YOU DON'T
REALIZE THAT IS THE BIGGEST DANGER THERE IS TO YOUR FAMILY,
NOT THEORETICAL TERRORISM OR FIGHTS IN LIBYA OR SYRIA OR
ANYTHING ELSE, THE FIGHT IS IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS.
THAT IS
THE REAL DANGER.
SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND
YOU THINK THAT YOU BEING ABLE TO HAVE A GUN SO YOU FEEL BETTER IS
MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE SAFETY OF YOUR KIDS AND YOUR FAMILY,
THAT IS UP TO YOU.
AND I KNOW, YOU WILL HATE ME FOR IT, YOU
WILL HATE THE MESSENGER, OR PEOPLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.
BUT
I'M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT.
YOU WANT TO
TAKE MY GUN AWAY, I AM A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN.
WHAT DID YOU
WANT THE PROFESSOR TO DO?
CARRY AROUND A GUN AT ALL TIMES?
THAT
IS THE WORLD YOU WANT TO LIVE IN?
AND THE ANSWER FOR SOME OF
YOU IS, YES.
YOU WANT TO LIVE PERMANENTLY AT THE OK CORRAL,
WHERE EVERYONE HAS WEAPONS AND THEY ARE READY TO DRAW THEM.
THAT WORLD LEADS TO DEATH AFTER DEATH, THAT IS WHAT WE SAW
YESTERDAY, AND BY THE WAY, WHAT YOU WILL SEE TOMORROW.
