In the video below, Fox News host Tucker Carlson takes on Richard Painter. After the Las Vegas spree killing, the left-leaning Minnesota University law professor — who, for a law professor, is surprisingly inept at debating — posted the Tweet above — and several (shown in the video) which the academic has subsequently deep-sixed. Mr. Carlson is having none of it . . .

Carlson stays right on top of Professor Painter’s prevarications, demanding specificity, blasting holes in Painter’s “arguments,” and defending Americans’ civil liberties.
This is not the first time Mr. Carlson has confronted members of the civilian disarmament industrial complex.
Apologies to Carly Simon, but nobody does it better. Nobody holds the antis’ feet to the fire quite like the failed Dancing with the Stars contestant. Chris Wallace is an excellent interviewer, but Carlson is in a class of his own.
For asking the questions we want asked and for standing-up (sitting down?) for the Second Amendment, we award Mr. Carlson TTAG’s Gun Hero of the Day honor.
We need more people like Tucker who can shoot with their mouths at the anti-gunners.
if I put myself in that guys shoes: while I was being fired on I hope I would draw and return fire at the threat. Even with a bump fire stock and drum mags it would have taken two dumps of 100rd mags: plenty of time to draw and return fire through the door. The reality is that I would have been ducking for cover and scrambling for safety. With knowledge of what was happening I sure like to think I would have done Something! But what would I do: I have no idea- I know I would have come up with something! In ten minutes of shooting! (200rds through a door or walk sure leave lots of holes to peak through to see what was going on after bullets stop flying and are obviously going in the other direction
I can only imagine what the next 16 or so minutes were like for that guy. Assuming he was stranded in the hallway we have to assume he was shot in a major bone and unable to walk.
He’s laying there with no idea what is going on: can’t see outside and I have to assume he was not wearing a radio.
Either way that dude was not a cop, no duty to act once his life was no longer in immediate danger (though you could argue it still was) and acting was a liability and life risk: in sure he wasn’t paid THAT well.
His job should have been maximum to evacuate nearby rooms, and at minimum pull a fire alarm or get in a nearby room and phone it in. I would hope that even a wounded me could accomplish that!
Huh, I’ve lost more than 42 in tragic canoeing accidents…
You tried to put more than 42 gun in a canoe? What did you think would happen?
Tucker is a HUUUUGE improvement over Bill Oh Really!! Pretty much the only one worth watching on Fox.
That tragedy certainly could not strike my trusty canoe! 😀
I wish Hannity would stop saying clip.
We studied this in world history in the 8 th grade I think, my how times have changed. Do they teach history anymore?
Tucker even warns the dood.
“Don’t embarrass yourself”…
Oops too late.
Painter invoked the Pulse nightclub shooter in his call for LE to check on people buying too many guns.
That shooter had TWO guns.
Somewhere in NYC, an unshaven Jon Stewart is yelling at a computer…..
Doesn’t the cop have plausible deniability here? Biker posed a credible threat of grievous bodily injury to himself. By upsetting his motorcycle’s balance point so dramatically on a public road, the chance that he would lose control of the bicycle, he was at serious risk of harm coming to him, etc.
That doesn’t mean that it’s smart to distract someone who’s in the process of engaging in such precarious behavior (I’ve never ridden a motorcycle and I never will, so I’m not 100% clear on how difficult it actually is to maintain a wheelie at highway speeds), but it could very well be lawful?
“Doesn’t the cop have plausible deniability here? Biker posed a credible threat of grievous bodily injury to himself”
Plausible deniability is definitely not the right term here, he’s on video pointing his gat at a biker.
And he posed a threat of grievous bodily injury to himself? First, who gives a fuck if he wrecks and leaves a flesh skid mark a quarter mile long? Second, the concept of a cop shooting him for ostensibly his own good, give me a break. “He was going to jump off the bridge but I just couldn’t let that happen, so I shot him in the fucking head and he simply fell into the water.”
Man, Tucker Carlson is savage. “I’m going to cut you off, because you’ve got a job, and you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of your students.”
This is why I don’t work armed security. 16.50 an hour ain’t enough to go to war on. Not for a Vegas corporation.
It’s not that Carlson is a master debater, its that his guests are completely helpless, illogical hypocrites. You know; college professors, elected liberals, and fake news mongers.
You guys notice she’s a US senator, not a CA rep. And she included all Americans in her statement.
This ain’t just a CA problem.
Wow! She is threatening deadly force against anyone who disagrees with her. And the Progressives wonder why We The People value the 2nd Amendment.
They never have any answer to “and then do what?” I guess they figure it’ll all just magically resolve in some way.
Just let the bike go, pretty soon someone will be picking pieces of him off the road. Happens all the time around here, one hit a car at high speed was launched over an overpass. Problem was the chain link fence on it , made quite a strainer ….
Tucker is ‘Da Man!!! Massive improvement on blowhard O’Reilly. Yeah I too couldn’t believe how inept this “perfesser” was. My favorite is all the black SJW types who come on to get their azzes kicked. Greg Guttfeld is a close 2nd????
“Side focus”
Somebody get Jeremy S in here 😀
I rather suspect that Professor Painter does not teach criminal procedure or Constitutional law. Sure the police can come to your house, any house, and ask all the questions they want. But you don’t have to answer any of them, if you don’t want to, and unless they have probable cause, there’s nothing they can do about it. And this idiot kept on saying “guns plus” (other unspecified evidence) should be enough to allow the police to investigate. Well, in the Vegas case, there was no “plus,” as far as the police and the press have been able to ascertain. No affiliations with terrorists, foreign or domestic. No disabling history of a mental health condition. No criminal history. Nada nothing zilch. And when asked, what laws would you propose, what solutions–this guy had nothing but some unspecified authority of the police to a) know what you have, and b) be able to ask you questions about it when some undelineated threshold is crossed. In other words, nothing but a further intrusion into the right of Americans to be left alone.
Barbie is going to punch me? I would have to pay big money for that at Mabel’s.
What a load of sissy spin. Gun cucks, appeasers and collaborators never get anything significant back for these alleged “genius deals”. After Newtown, Alan Gottlieb of SAF/CCRKBA and others were in full panic mode, tried to “compromise” by preemptively surrendering de facto national gun registration even though it wouldn’t have stopped the massacre since the shooter STOLE the guns. Gottlieb and the other beltway genius sophisticates screamed that we HAD to “compromise” or the gun grabbers would simply *take* everything and write their own ticket without our ‘input’. Loyal independent grassroots and state groups banded together with GOA, stood up like men and said NO. At that point the NRA – which had been testing the water for a betrayal – backed off and left Gottlib hanging. And guess what: NOTHING PASSED, despite the hand wringing hysteria of the sophisticated genius GRPC legal priesthood set.
The NRA is coyly pushing gun control. Just because it’s being done by regulation under existing unconstitutional law doesn’t mean it’s not gun control. The only thing you achieve by pushing gun control is more gun control. It sabotages our own moral position, our own principles.
The one thing we glean from this is that the LVPD is investigating this in the most incompetent manner possible.
Which matches their incompetence at responding to a shooting from a high floor by clearing all the floors BELOW it before responding to the actual shooter.
Morons, at best.
Wellness/welfare check? A call like that means an individual is/has been or may possibly be exhibiting behavior/signs he is a danger to himself&or others,Should have been searched before being escorted anywhere esp. a secure area/building,yet now another Officer has lost his life,all due to shitty SOP….RIP
Other than these people asking to get tossed out (other than those retiring) I’m not seeing this as big news.
If you assume the Democrats in the House vote 100% for this bill (they won’t) they still need to flip a total of like 47 Republicans in that chamber for this bill to pass. Something about snowballs in hell and chances and stuff.
Really, totally justifiable according to most L.E. department’s policies. I agree not the smartest thing to do with all the snowflakes like yourself out there second guessing every cops action and supporting criminals.
Imagine your driving with your wife and kids and a group of bikers surround you and intimidate you. I would slow and pull over, but I’d be ready. Cops don’t have that choice, they have to attempt to take action, it’s their job. You might want to research a law book before opening your pie hole.
I still don’t see why people make such a fuss over a peaceful protest all they do is tell you where they stand and nobody loss any blood. And now you know what to think about them .
Seems pretty simple: biker gets a ticket for careless and imprudent driving; beats it in court. No one physically at risk.
Cop goes to prison for felony assault.
Cases clossed
If this goes through does anyone know how they will go about taking the bump stocks that are already in the possession of people? Is there any legal precedent wherein something like this has occurred in the past?
Go ahead and take your shot bitch, let me know how it works out for you.
So much for the NRA handing this over to the ATF.
I have plans today to call some elected officials and voice my opinion on this matter. I don’t know if this will pass or not. Like Strych9 says, that’s a lot of votes to swing.
If, IF it does pass, we have a lot of problems on the horizon.
Though I love watching TC, he is just as clueless as the rest of his ilk when it comes to the real issues. He tossed out support for a potential bump fire stock ban as if it was nothing. He clearly has no understanding of the nuts and bolts of the issue. Certainly these folks can’t be subject matter experts on every topic, but I really wish they would put more effort into finding the experts and try to better understand the true complexity of at least the issues that are really important.
I agree the NRA was wrong to blame the ATF. The NRA are such turn coats. They should have just kept their mouths shut. What they said is one of the reasons I have stopped supporating them. I now support The Guns Of America group because they are a no compromise organization.
“Once a year hunter” friends had a 20 gauge at our 25th annual west Texas dove hunt, and I was really impressed, yes, it was stiff untiI I cleaned and lubed it for him. I have Beretta, Ruger, Valmet, and Browning O/Us, and these should hold up with them in terms of performance and longevity, especially for the occasional shooter.
Another guy showed up with the .410 version at the 2017 hunt, and it’s actually cute!!!
He went through several boxes, and I shot a box of shells through it myself. If I did my part, every bird fell, even the tough-to-kill West Texas Eurasian doves. Well fed from area dairy troughs, they’re as big as pigeons.
However, a 3″ .410 shell with #6 shot turned this little gun into a killing machine.
Great little gun, and LOTS of fun.
One of the best values on the market today.
Well a vague law that will not accomplish a thing but more future gun bans. I would also challenge any law that makes illegal things that were once legal, especially gun bans.
ex post facto law definition. A law that makes illegal an act that was legal when committed, increases the penalties for an infraction after it has been committed, or changes the rules of evidence to make conviction easier. The Constitution prohibits the making of ex post facto law.
One does not need a bump or slide fire stock.

Other countries success or failure s of gun control have nothing to do with America s RTKBA, There’s a piece of paper, paid for in bloid, that gives me the right to protect myself. The Heros of 1776 gave me that freedom, and if those whom do not like that freedom have the opportunity to leave this country. If they chose not to, continuing to shred the Constitution,and destroy my country, then I can only assume their are traitors and enemies. Yes something needs to be done about the army of unloyal traitors in Senate and Congress.
I don’t personally own any bad gu ns, but my wife inherited 4 weapons from her brother (well, they were gifts by permission of the court) and among them was a S&W Sigma series 9mm. Worst trigger pull I’ve ever felt. Pretty damn ugly to boot. I’d sell it, but her brother still thinks he’s getting his record expunged or something and will someday have his rights restored. Probably be lucky to get a case of beer out of it.
