>>FOX NEWS DESPERATELY WANTS NO ACTION WHATSOEVER ON GUN CONTROL
IN THE WAKE OF THE MOST RECENT SCHOOL SHOOTING, BUT AT THE SAME
TIME THEY ALSO WANT TO LOOK LIKE THEY ARE AT LEAST SORT OF TAKING
SERIOUSLY THIS CONSTANT RITUALIZED MASS MURDER OF OUR
CHILDREN.
SO THEY NEED TO FIND SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT AND
BLAME, SO THEY'VE DECIDED TO GO BACK TO I BELIEVE THE '90S,
MAYBE THE EARLY 2000S,TH MAYBE THE EARLY 2004
SOMETHING ELSE TO PUT THE BLAME ON.
>>HOW ABOUT VIDEOGAMES?
WOULD YOU SUPPORT REGULATING VIDEO
GAMES?
THERE ARE VIDEOGAMES OUT THERE THAT ARE VERY REALISTIC,
YOU CAN SHOOT TO DEATH EVERY VIDEO CHARACTER ON THE SCREEN
AND LEAVE THEM LYING IN A POOL OF BLOOD.
>>I THINK THAT'S A MUCH MORE CHALLENGING ISSUE BECAUSE THAT
GETS INTO PARENTING, AND GREATER SOCIAL ISSUES.
BECAUSE HOW DO
YOU REGULATE VIDEOGAMES?
WEARS A HANDGUN, YOU CAN CONTROL THE
FLOW OF THEM.
GERMANY DID IT SUCCESSFULLY AFTER A SERIES OF
SCHOOL SHOOTINGS IN GERMANY.
>>HOW MANY GUNS --
>>THEY HAVE A PSYCHOLOGICAL BACKGROUND CHECK BEFORE YOU GET
YOUR PERMIT.
>>HOW MANY GUNS WERE ALREADY IN SOCIETY AND GERMANY?
>>THEY HAVE A VERY HIGH GUN OWNERSHIP RATE.
FINLAND IS
ANOTHER ONE THAT PUT IN THE SAME SYSTEM.
SWITZERLAND HAS A VERY
HIGH GUN OWNERSHIP RATE.
AGAIN, THE SOCIETY HAS ALLOWED THE
GOVERNMENT TO BE MORE INTRUSIVE IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A DEADLY
WEAPON IN YOUR HANDS.
THE KEY IS TO MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO
RAPIDLY KILL A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF
TIME.
I CALL FOR BANNING BUMP STOPS IMMEDIATELY, LET'S REMOVE
HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES IMMEDIATELY.
I'VE FIRED AR-15S,
I'VE GONE SKEET SHOOTING, I'VE GONE HUNTING, I KNOW WHAT IT'S
LIKE TO USE FIREARMS.
THERE IS A RATIONAL BASIS TO LIMIT WHAT IS
AVAILABLE.
>>THAT'S RADIO HOST ETHAN BEERMAN, HE'S A FORMER ARMY
RESERVIST.
YOU CAN'T SAY HE DOESN'T KNOW ANY THING ABOUT
WEAPONS.
AND WHAT HE'S ASKING FOR IS NOT THAT MUCH.
HE'S LIKE,
BUMP STOCKS ALLOW YOU TO TURN THOSE WEAPONS INTO AUTOMATIC
WEAPONS, WHY?
HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES, IF YOU ARE A HUNTER
OR NEED TO PROTECT YOUR HOUSE, WHY?
IS THERE A MARAUDING ARMY
OF HUNS WHO ARE GOING TO COME INTO YOUR HOUSE AND YOU HAVE TO
FIRE AT THAT KIND OF PACE?
IS THERE AN AFGHANI WARLORD COMING
TO YOUR SUBURBS TO DO HARM TO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY?
NO, THERE'S
NO REASON TO HAVE THOSE OTHER THAN TO DO KILLINGS.
NOW TO THE
INCREDIBLY MISINFORMED IDEA THAT JOHN SCOTT, THE FOX NEWS HOST,
PUT OUT ABOUT VIDEOGAMES, I WANT TO QUOTE THE NEW YORK TIMES FROM
A STORY FROM YESTERDAY THAT LOOKED AT DIFFERENT STUDIES OF
WHAT CAUSES GUN RELATED DEATHS AND MASS SHOOTINGS.
THEY SAY
WHETHER A POPULATION PLAYS MORE OR FEWER VIDEOGAMES ALSO APPEARS
TO HAVE NO IMPACT.
AMERICANS ARE NO MORE LIKELY TO PLAY VIDEO
GAMES THAN PEOPLE IN ANY OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY.
FOR EXAMPLE,
IN JAPAN THEY PLAY A LOT OF VIDEO GAMES.
LET ME SHOW YOU THE
STATS ON JAPAN, GUN RELATED DEATHS, JAPAN VERSUS THE U.S. IN
2013, WE HAD 21,000 SUICIDES, 11,000 HOMICIDES, 500 PEOPLE
DIED FROM ACCIDENTS WITH GUNS.
IN JAPAN THERE WERE 13 GUN
RELATED DEATHS.
>>THEY DON'T PLAY VIDEO GAMES THERE, RIGHT?
>>LET'S BE FAIR, WE ARE THREE TIMES AS LARGE AS JAPAN'S LET'S
CALL THAT 39.
JUST ON ACCIDENTS ALONG WE OVERWHELM THEM.
YOU
KNOW WHY?
YOU CAN'T EXCELLENTLY KILL YOURSELF WITH THE GUN IF
YOU DON'T HAVE ONE.
>>I THINK THAT'S THE POINT, I KNOW JOHN SCOTT AND I THINK HE'S
A GOOD JOURNALIST BUT HE'S WRONG ON THIS POINT.
YOU CAN PLAY
VIDEO GAMES UNTIL YOU ARE BLUE IN THE FACE, IF YOU CAN'T GET
ACCESS TO AN AR-15 IT DOESN'T MATTER.
AND I'LL BRING UP THE
PREVIOUS POINT I MADE EARLIER IN THIS SEGMENT, THE HUFFINGTON
POST RIGHT AFTER THE PULSE NIGHTCLUB SHOOTING WENT TO
ORLANDO AND HAD ONE OF THEIR JOURNALISTS TRY TO PURCHASE AN
AR-15, IT TOOK IN 38 MINUTES.
A MILITARY GRADE WEAPON.
BASICALLY
AS MUCH TIME AS IT WOULD TAKE YOU TO BUY A ROTISSERIE CHICKEN
AT YOUR WHOLE FOODS, YOU CAN BUY AN AR-15 IN FLORIDA.
THEY SHOULD
RENAME IT THE GUNSHINE STATE, IT'S SO EASY TO GET A GUN.
THERE
ARE NO STOPGAPS.
IN FLORIDA MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS CAN'T EVEN
ASK YOU IF YOU OWN A GUN IF YOU ARE DERANGED, THEY COULD LOSE
THEIR LICENSE.
AND IT GOES BACK TO THE FACT THAT THE NRA -- IT
INFURIATES ME HOW MUCH POWER THIS ONE RANDOM BUILDING IN
FAIRFAX HAS OVER THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
THEY LITERALLY HAVE
AMERICA BY THE THROAT.
AND IT'S NOT EVEN AMERICA, LET ME BE
CLEAR.
THEY HAVE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS BY THE THROAT, THEY
ARE SO AFRAID OF BEING SCORED BY THE 33% OF NRA ACTIVISTS ON WHAT
THEY ARE WILLING TO DO THAT THEY WON'T STAND UP FOR THE SAFETY OF
OUR CHILDREN.
WHAT THAT SAYS TO ME, WE ARE A COUPLE MONTHS AWAY
FROM AN ELECTION, IF YOU HAVE A KID IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS YOU NEED
TO VOTE FOR YOUR KID'S SAFETY WHETHER YOU ARE DEMOCRAT,
REPUBLICAN, INDEPENDENT.
LOOK FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND VOTE THESE
BOZOS OUT OF OFFICE BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID OF A BUILDING IN
FAIRFAX, AND THEIR FEAR IS CAUSING OUR KIDS TO DIE.
PERIOD.
>>THE ONLY PART I DISAGREE WITH OF COURSE IS THAT IT'S NOT
RANDOM, THEY BRIBED THESE POLITICIANS.
>>YES, THEY PAY THEM.
>>DONALD TRUMP GOT $30 MILLION FROM THE NRA IN THE LAST RACE,
AND MARCO RUBIO HAS GOTTEN $3.3 MILLION OVER THE COURSE OF HIS
CAREER FROM THE NRA.
SO WHEN HE SAYS ALL HE HAS HIS THOUGHTS AND
PRAYERS, THAT'S BECAUSE HE GOT PAID TO SAY THAT.
