but we collectively haven t, but i do believe that now we do. everyone loves uvalde, and our hearts go out to those children and those parents and the stories are just absolutely heart rending and it s time. it s palpable. texans are saying, you know, our politics are controlled by zealots and the majority point of view does not make its way through the legislature, which is the lieutenant governor s fault, and texans of all parties are saying, enough is enough. it s too much. again, my last question to you, i guess, you are a you are a gun owner, sir, correct? and you are a supporter of the second amendment, correct? yeah. yes. absolutely. i was raised in a hunting culture. yeah. and a at the same time, a big supporter of background checks that work and red flag laws. i really want to focus on one thing i saw you say on this network yesterday. you pointed out that the following things. you said, in texas, you can t buy a beer at 18. you can t buy cigarettes at 18. but
to bring mental health services here now after the fact. the question is where were they before this? texas is not doing its job when it comes to mental health and greg abbott have said no to doing right by texans. you mentioned you represent the views of texans when it comes to the second amendment. what do you say to folks who own weapons here, who are law abiding, that feel that any measure, any of the things you mentioned like background checks or raising the age to buy an assault weapon, they argue that s an infringement on rights that are enshrined in the constitution. it is a hard-line argument, but at the core of folks who don t want any changes to gun legislation. what would you say to them? listen, i ve lived in texas for a long time. i was raised in a hunting culture. i own a gun. they re dangerous. we respect the danger. we re for gun safety. no, it is not an infringement on
but then the risk comes with it. maybe state laws can be passed that up the age of purchase for instance on such types of weapons. but we also know that we have a hunting culture in the united states. just like we saw in oxford, michigan, we have parents who bought their trounced a gun, who is 15 years old. and they bought it for christmas present. and when you, don t as a parent, appreciate. and your kid is smoking on the stories he is telling, you and you don t appreciate that you can trust your kids, but don t put a gun in his hands, a lot of guns, as many as a third of the guns in the united states, are unsecured. that is intolerable. it is just intolerable. it is ridiculous. so you get a young kids, they are going to be more susceptible online. your second question, i don t remember your second question was because i was talking. the second question was, why
sean: kyle rittenhouse was absolutely right. none of what the media said about him was true. not the facts of the case, not his believes and certainly not who he was as a person. you see, kyle came from a working class background. something foreign to liberal elites who sit and judge him from their ivy towers. they don t understand working and middle class america. they don t understand why a kid would carry a gun let alone have access to one. because they have never had to guard their gated community. they don t understand hunting culture and they don t want to. they don t understand why someone would want to protect their city because they have never had to defend their businesses from destruction. they re repulsed by a mom who would legally grab a beer with her son, instead saying it will perpetuate the rittenhouse cycle of failure. joining me now to react sohrab ahmari, american conservative and mollie hemingway senior editor at the federalist. thank you for joining me. i appre
his presidency from the day he walked out of that escalator at trump tower. and republicans are okay with that? well, this is what is so disgraceful about it, which is the effectiveness of the dem gogary that republicans have essentially capitulated to a cultive personality figure who is eliciting a kind of a social a party mania or ideological mania that has no basis in reality, the suggestion that there is an invasion taking place at our southern border. nothing could be further from the truth. ron, you have been covering these shootings, unfortunately, for years. how can we have a healthy second amendment? many people think gun culture is part of american culture. but can you have healthy, american gun culture and at the same time sensible gun legislation? of course you can. i m talking to you from michigan. i spent the weekend like i do every weekend in northern michigan, the heart of hunting
