Tucker Carlson: Gun control doesn't stop bad people from using guns
Fox News
Fox News host Tucker Carlson reflects on the Highland Park 4th of July shooting and discusses the correlation between prescription drugs and mass shootings.
And that makes a kind of sense because now that we're going to have red flag laws in all 50 states, laws that allow the government to disarm you by force without charging you with a crime, without bothering with due process. Once we do that, and we are doing it, mass shootings like the one we saw in Buffalo this spring will never happen again. That's what they promised us and the media assured us it was true – every word of it. 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 Payton 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. Gendron had bragged in school, remember, that he wanted to murder large groups of people. That was a red flag, speaking of. He'd already been caught by his mother killing a cat with his hands. Gendron was so obviously crazy and threatening that at one point New York State Police came over and investigated him, but in the end, nothing happened. It had no effect, these laws, and that's not surprising. Ask anyone who knows anything about violence and wasn'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.
