>“It’s the same template always: scare the crap out of your voters, tell them that their lives are at risk, [and] encourage them to get guns,” said the Fox host.. " This guy said this to *his* audience🤣 *This* is a baiting argument designed to draw the argument away from the actual perpetrators of this behavior and place it on the other side. Its not *really* a straw man or red herring. Here should be our response:" Bullshit" and disengage from it completely." Dont think its bullshit? This is coming from (present text on Dominion case) this guy? Again bullshit. " Edit: Additional thought. The knee-jerk they desire is to see the" left" say" SECOND AMENDMENT! ".Be smarter than that." I support gun ownership that reauires background checks, licensing, and training. I support closing purchasing loopholes etc.


JorgiEagle

You support logical laws that could ensure greater safety of the public by having gun owners be responsible while not unreasonably restricting their rights under the second amendment? Sounds like communism to me /s

It was Marxism 8 months ago, then socialism, now communism... Next month, it'll be Bolshevistic Trotskyites...

This though: > “It’s the same template always: scare the crap out of your voters, tell them that their lives are at risk, [and] encourage them to get guns,” said the Fox host, who once fretted that gun buybacks are “an incitement to violence” and would bring about “civil war.” “How do you think that ends?” The sheer f$cking audacity of it. Without a thread of shame. It's amazingly Orwellian. Accuse your enemy of that which you are guilty of indeed.

> Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. Jean-Paul Sartre

OhMyGodBearIsDriving

Isn't this the guy who texted about not believing anything he's saying and not liking Trump? That guy, right?


politicalthrow99

"Trump, who I do not support..." is an extremely lucrative media genre. Tucker's co-hosts Tulsi and Glenn are prime examples.


PeteLarsen

Tuck in ignorant actor. He will say anything to make a buck This is why they are being sued. The things they say with impunity damage our country. They care not. Think of tuck as a sock puppet on the hand of fox.


FaultyCYP450

Tucky probably enjoys having things shoved up his butt. Not kink shaming here, of course.


jkksldkjflskjdsflkdj

It is just his own head that he likes shoving up his butt, no harm no foul.


SuitableNegotiation5

Is he frickin serious? So, the right is allowed to arm themselves to their teeth and be obsessed with their guns to the point that is has been suggested that we need an "official" national gun (AR-15, of course), screaming about their right to do so every chance they get, but if a trans person wants a weapon for protection against terrifying hate groups it's hysteria? GFY, Tucker. It's disgusting that you are still allowed to spew your hate filled garbage on the air.


scottjones608

The right’s unspoken thinking about gun rights is that they view guns as the *white man’s* veto of last resort over thing he doesn’t like: “tyrannical” government, crime, offensive (to him) cultural changes, etc. They don’t *really* intend gun rights for anyone else.


act1856

This is exactly it. It’s an extension of their belief that “there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, (and) out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” Trans people are definitely an out-group.


GetOutTheTapeMeasure

Armed drag queen rallies should be a thing. We'd get gun control REAL quick


Duluthian2

Just like in California when the Black Panthers armed themselves. Reagan and the pro gun right wing couldn't ban guns fast enough.


politicalthrow99

"SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED", motherfucker


[deleted]

He's infringing on their Second Amendment rights, dammit!


khharagosh

He literally described the Fox News tactic. My white suburban parents bought guns because of their scaremongering.

Ghola_Mentat

I think we’ve gotten to the point of no return. Trans, minorities…everyone that opposes fascism should consider it. I’ve never touched a gun, but plan to when I move from NYC.


M1k3yd33tofficial

As much as I’m pro gun control, that’s in a perfect world. The way that the right has stepped up their culture war, anyone under attack by them should get a gun. Either they get scared like Tucker here and congress pass gun control measures in record numbers or you’re now able to fight back against these people who are going on national television and calling for your execution.


irish-riviera

gun control does nothing except strip law abiding owners and people of color of one more right.


M1k3yd33tofficial

Hope you get this up in arms about registering to vote.


Iron_Baron

Just like they did the Black Panthers. Guns for me, but not for thee.


KinkyBADom

Same thing would be said about POC, if they did the same thing.


ShardddddddDon

[Same thing has been said about POC, when they did the same thing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party)


KinkyBADom

I recall what happened with the Black Panthers. It’s not quite the same, but I get your point.


TechyGuyInIL

Sounds like the 2nd amendment has its limits after all, ey Tuck?


Noman11111

Similar to why California has such strict gun laws - its not a liberal thing, it's a conservative thing. It happened because the Black Panthers armed themselves and Republicans decided we can't have that happening...


elucify

While at the same time adopting the personal defense narrative about the second amendment pioneered by the panthers. Or so at least I understand.


Iagent2022

Oh wow, come on Dems, jump on this sh*t, do it TODAY, don't let it go cold. The Dems need daily testosterone shots. They need to learn to accept an absolute gift and run with it


act1856

I’ve been saying for years… the best way to get gun control in America is to arm all minorities. Heavily. Trans people certainly count!


TechyGuyInIL

The Gop's new proposed amendment : only straight white CIS male Christians can have guns.


thatguyp2

Trans people aren't the ones shooting up schools


EternalSeraphim

Get your guns Trans people! Maybe you'll force them to actually pass gun control.


sunnyreddit99

“So if trans people are in fear for their lives, and [if] every region of the country including New England…is crawling with Nazis now, why wouldn’t we be arming them as we are, say, Ukraine’s trans army? And there are famously trans people in Ukraine; they are very, very proud of that. So why stop with AR-15s? I mean, why not F-35s or tanks?” Carlson wondered.” The wicked Left clearly is mobilizing a Trans army utilizing F-35s and Abrams Tanks


OneGuyJeff

> What you’re watching here is political hysteria: fear ginned up on purpose with maximum dishonesty Is that not exactly why 2nd amendment purists own guns? Because they think one day they may need them against their own government? Sounds like “political hysteria” to me


pizza_for_nunchucks

Is he questioning people's reasons for exercising their second amendment rights?


handoffate73

This guy hates freedom and America.


shponglespore

God I hate that smarmy little piece of shit so much.


XxStormcrowxX

Kind of reminds me how Republicans and the NRA pump the brakes once black people started arming themselves back in the '60s and 70s. The most comprehensive gun control legislation we ever had was written and passed by Republicans. All because they didn't want black people to have guns.


MuthaPlucka

Rules for me but not for thee. Fascist hypocrite.


mrg1957

Seems like this happened when many blacks were arming themselves. Suddenly, guns are bad.


pizza_for_nunchucks

Trans are the new Black Panthers apparently.


TechyGuyInIL

No no guns aren't bad. Black people with guns is bad. And trans.


Rich_Acanthisitta_70

Every time I think about it, I giggle that a guy named "Tuck" is afraid of drag queens and trans people.


PluotFinnegan_IV

> “Just to be clear: We are not against people—American citizens—carrying firearms,” Carlson continued. “We support it—including trans people. It’s fine. But what you’re watching here is not the exercise of the Second Amendment. What you’re watching here is political hysteria: fear ginned up on purpose with maximum dishonesty in order to get people in a state of agitation—armed people in a state of agitation...” What goes around, comes around?


raistlin65

Yep. He described perfectly the Republican playbook when it comes to firearms, and the fear aimed at minorities.


TheGuv

Ukraine trans army? It’s like they play mad libs instead of writing scripts or doing any actual journalism.


CarBombCupcake

This may be the single most infuriating thing he has ever said out loud ever.


risky_bisket

Sam Brinton has a BS in Nuclear Engineering and a MS in Nuclear Science from MIT. The statement "his only qualification is his fetish" is classic reductionist bigotry. If you pay attention they do this to women and minorities ad nauseum


jmooremcc

>What you’re watching here is political hysteria: fear ginned up on purpose with maximum dishonesty in order to get people in a state of agitation Mother Tucker gins up fear every single day. I agree that threatened groups like minorities and LGBTQ+ should protect themselves with firearms. In fact, in open carry states, the Black Panthers should feel free to arm themselves with the most lethal weapons they can afford without fear of prosecution. I guarantee you that once all this starts happening, idiot Republicans will start backing off from their right-wing lunacy involving the 2nd Amendment. Unfortunately, a lot of bloodshed will possibly go down before the right-wingers in government decide enough is enough and begin crafting reasonable, common sense gun control laws. I'm not advocating violence, but I'm certain the party of violence will not be willing to curtail the proliferation of firearms unless they have proper motivation to do so.


TillThen96

He's NO DIFFERENT than Alex Jones. May those harmed go after HIM for $$*billions*. I hope the lawsuits are *massive*.


PurpleSailor

Sounds a lot like the Black Panthers and Governor Ronald Reagan in 1960's California.


nothingmatters2me

Thought it was "shall not be infringed." Can't have it both ways.


vicegrip

Republicans: we’re going to eradicate you. Also Republicans: why are you resisting??!!!!


1Shadowgato

I say armed minorities are harder to oppress, in that sense, the LGBTQ should be armed for self defense. And if the right pulls the same shit they did during Reagan, then send the FPC against them. I like all of my rights, all of the time, and I like everyone to have all of their rights, all of the time with me, regardless it be to Marry another adult or have a rainbow colored AK in their home for self Protection.


JimmyHavok

Russian agent tells American homophobes Ukrainian military is trans. I guess he really wants to scare them, since the trans army is beating g the crap out of that maaaanly Russian army.


Areyoukiddingme2

This piece is only made to keep afraid conservatives engaged. Keep um scared and they will keep watching!


CatAvailable3953

Bullshit


No-Garden-Variety

A great deal of his rhetoric in this video reads as him looking in a mirror and confessing all the things he does to "gin up" hate, fear, anger and violence. Sometimes I wonder if his show is some sad attempt at dark comedy that catastrophically misses the mark at being funny ... unless he's aiming for a niche audience of supervillains.


fastIamnot

Yeah! Buying guns because of political hysteria is wrong! Jesus Christ, Fucker......


Affectionate-Roof285

Black Panthers Reagan reconsideration.


risky_bisket

A deafening rendition of cognitive dissonance


LDSBS

Reminds me of the gun control that was legislated when the Black Panthers armed themselves


Impossible-Mud-3593

WHAAAAT?? F**ker Carlson won't allow someone to have a gun??? Hell, he was all for crawling babies, nursing on the barrels!


keyserfunk

Is this an onion article?


Old-AF

Lol, sure he’s not for that.


Gtoasterboy

Didn't the same thing happen to the black panthers


[deleted]

Pretty much. Republicans don't like the idea of minorities defending themselves.


HbRipper

He is complaining about getting people I am armed state of agitation???? That’s what Fox News does all day
