Tucker Carlson debated a New York City councilman who supports an assault
weapons ban in the wake of the Florida school shooting.
Carlson said two of the problems with an assault weapons ban are that
there is little consensus on what "assault weapon" means and that millions
of similar weapons are already lawfully in the hands of American citizens.
Jumaane Williams, a Democrat from the Flatbush section of Brooklyn who is
running for lieutenant governor of New York, said the ban is not about
turning weapons in to the government.
Williams said it is easy in political debate to mention "the point that
would cause the most consternation."
"[The ban] is not about getting guns from people in their home, [it is] to
prevent sales from moving forward," Williams said.
Carlson reiterated that even with halt in sales, millions of guns would
still be out in the public.
"I want specifics, because I'm an American citizen," he said. "Are you
going to answer the question?"
Carlson added that he opposes such a move to begin with because "guns are
inanimate objects that don't shoot people on their own."
