these are not serious arguments. we have children who are still being buried. we know there s going to be another mass shooting coming up. we know that because we ve had, what, 240 mass shootings so far this year and we re not even half way through the year. and they re talking about ferrell pigs and prairie dogs? it s disgraceful. as i said before f we took a step back and just said, how does this look? to people that disconnected from the political system. how is this going to look 10, 15, 20 years from now that we had members of the united states senate that allowed little children to continue to be gunned down with military weapons because they wanted to protect their constituent s rights to shoot prairie dogs and varmints. yeah. you can shoot a prairie dog with a shotgun. you don t need an ar-15 to
over again, these mass shootings. high profile mass shootings. they use the same weapon of choice. and they re saying yeah, well, we have a constitutional right to have these guns to kill varmints and ferrell pigs. who could be against raising the age for a kid getting a weapon of war from 18 to 21 when we don t let americans rent cars from avis or hertz or national until they re 25. we don t let them get a beer. they can t get a pbr in texas until they re 21.
pieces with a gun that is so violent, that is so lethal, that a lot of those little children couldn t be recognized. we heard the same thing in sandy hook. parents had trouble recognizing their first graders when they went in at the bloody scene because it was a war zone. and you have a senator going, well, people in my state, they like to shoot ferrell pigs with an ar-15, so just because somebody guns down 19 people, kills 19 little kids basically what he s saying, why shouldn t my constituents still be able to use that gun to shoot a pig or varmints, i guess, varmints, prairie dogs give me a break. prairie dog would disintegrate. and raccoons in colorado. these are not serious people.
these proposed gun laws we have been discussing this morning. yeah. i was listening to the footage you were showing of republican senators talking about the sacred right to kill varmint and ferrell pigs and matthew mcconaughey telling the stories of those beautiful children whose photos we were just looking at. it occurred to me children are varmint for much of the political right. icht to say that very clearly, children are varmint for a lot of extreme right. what i mean by that is if children are still in the womb, they enjoy the full faith and protection of the extreme right in this country. anything should be done to protect them. but once children leave that womb, they are on their own in america in 2022. if it will not be school, school shooting that gets them, it will be a lack of covid protection
john thune says need to be used on prairie dogs. please look at the pictures. ferrell pigs. they could only be identified by their dna because they were unrecognizable. let them go to uvalde. let them look at the pictures. let them look at the hell they have rot by filibuster any meaningful gun safety legislation. you know what the hell of it is, joe, they go down and meet with the families. they might look at some of those photographs as horrific as they are. and then they would hear a whisper in their ear from some of their voters, whisper in the ear people who give them money for their campaign and turn and say, but we need them for prairie dogs. but we need them for prairie pigs. we need to focus on hunter biden the arguments we heard yesterday. that s how sick the culture is
