Joe Rogan on Gun Control

Hello freak bitches. You know one of the things we were talking about that I think is kind of important like when you're talking about Immigration and like bad apples and stuff like that. I look at immigration the same way I look at gun control Like most people that have guns are law-abiding citizens, and it's not gonna be a problem They're vast vast majority, and I think that's the same case with Immigration and the same case of people coming to America even illegally they want to do better. That's why they're coming here They're not always they want to start crime sure they most of them are coming here because they want opportunities with guns I totally agree. I want a shotgun so bad I'm gonna need a double-barreled like I want a shotgun yeah, and I've shot a lot of guns especially for the Daily Show I've done shot guns for the Daily Show got it so like mandatory I've some you guys gonna be telling jokes gonna have to learn how to fucking clear a room learn how to defend yourself, okay? All right follow me now. This is a Thompson machine gun Trigger discipline no very important for the daily shot 50 caliber sniper busters 50 calibers are ridiculous. Yeah, dude. I I'll show you a video after this actually Maybe this hasn't really even aired because it was part of a pilot that I did that did I did a pilot for Comedy Central When I left the Daily Show was an anti-travel show called this place sucks I Didn't go dude. I'll send it to you a great idea just a concept dude. It's the fucking funny. You know what they said well mean Everybody said it was too mean. It's fucking hilarious. I go we stood in Kansas City. I go hey everybody My name is Al Madrigal. I'm in Kansas City. I'm gonna tell you why this place sucks Shit all over it. I need to just do that online. Oh yeah, I should just put them out So I do that is a great idea for all things comedy Why don't you just like buy our main idea? I totally should you own the idea my idea? Yeah? Oh my god That's a great idea that idea like as soon as you set it up Yeah Someone says an idea and a light bulb goes off like that's a real idea and I do it in San Francisco And I do it in San Francisco is fucking filthy It is one of the dirtiest cities I've ever been to my entire life and also it's like filled with the rich douchebags now Because of the you know internet boom and all this tech boom and then poor people are getting moved out There's so much stuff to make fun of so anyway I'm paid fun of I went to this place omb guns and I shot Machine guns handgun like I shot everything and then for the Daily Show I went and I saw I drove a tank I Got to drive tanks I was doing these chieftain tanks that I was driving I got to run over to Saturn's in a tank really yes fucking Oh, how do you drive a tank like what do you what do you yes? Yeah, it's levers, and there's a so Yeah, you can watch and there was this hot chick That they had that was working there that was on it with me and at the same place I got to fire machine guns, but I feel like when it comes to automatic weapons and the 50 caliber sniper buster and all that shit I Understand why you need to own that I liked shooting it. I'll go shoot that stuff again I really enjoyed it you can see me shoot that 50 caliber thing right like there was a shockwave Yeah, like your your head flies you can watch my arms and the the skin on my arms ripple after I fucking I wore a sleeveless shirt to shoot in And I enjoyed it I like shooting that shit I want the shotgun to defend my house when everything goes to Zombie apocalypse zombie apocalypse I need a shotgun. I want just somebody to hear Right get the fuck away from the door. You know I have by my bed right now hammers Hammer I have a hammer like bill this makes fun I feel like he thinks it's the craziest thing like you keep it by your bed I keep a hammer under my bed like I'm gonna fucking get up and close and contact like hammer somebody whoa death yeah Seems like you thought it through like really Really like on the surface. Well. I have a magnum flashlight and I cut flat magnum flashlight Yeah, that always kills me that people think they're gonna club somebody with a flashlight. No no I want to One hand so blind them and then fucking run in hammer hammer Why not a real weapon I want a real well I got knives I have all close contact. How come you never got a gun on my wife second one of them yep hmm Well, I'll get one I'm working on her. She's good. She gets it. Yeah She knows what you got to do is a false flag in the house hire some friends to break in oh, yeah That's a good idea False flag really the dick Cheney of households oh Yeah, I want the gun badly, but I feel like within a K-47 and maybe you know people can write like Only bad things have happened as people per you know Sure, there's responsible gun owners, but you look at Dylan roof And you look at you know calm, but you look at all these you know people getting shot up everywhere and seeing the hook Like I don't want that to happen. I don't want my kids I was walking away have a safe you put your guns in a safe Why do you need an AK-47 you don't you don't need an AK-47? I'm saying have all the handguns, but the thing is like who should be able to decide who gets what that's where it gets weird Yeah, and what about? Silencers too well here's the thing in in Europe silencers are thought of as a polite thing Because we're over in America worried about shooting people they're worrying about noise So like if you have a what they call suppressor they call suppressor yeah like if you're hunting you would hunt with a suppressor on Because you don't want to blow your fucking ears out, man I'll put the links out to these two pieces that I did daily show spots I'll do the one if you go to my thing that Twitter I'll I'll put down I'll send them to you Then when I drove the tank and fired all those guns and then I did a silencer piece as well And the guy was saying he wanted to protect kids ears With the silencers and that's what Donald Trump can you're saying kids? And I'm worried the reality is though and this is true I know a lot of friends that are hunters that shot guns as kids and they're fucked up now their ears are a mess What it shouldn't they wear the they should but they didn't when they were younger because they didn't know any better see 20 years ago People didn't know that you were gonna do permanent damage to your ear They didn't you didn't need never heard about it like these people just shot guns, but I think also the Unfortunate reality now is that you could have somebody walking around undetected shooting fucking shooting people in a college you could You know why I did I was on KCRW and walking around the Santa Monica Campus and I really did think I'm like, okay Who's the shooter? Right Coast water and then it shouldn't be a thought then. Oh No, it shouldn't. Yeah. I mean it's a mental health issue I mean cuz like the only person that's capable of doing that is a person who's sick Yeah, you know and that's the other thing that doesn't come up when you're talking about mass shootings is Whenever you hear about it the news nobody makes the correlation the inescapable correlation between psychoactive drugs and mass shootings because there's a lot of fucking mass shooters like almost all of them that are either on pharmaceutical drugs like SSR eyes Dissociative drugs or they're getting off of them antipsychotic drugs there's what can be done is you're like there is no common ground you start having people make we live in this country where you should be able to Do whatever you want and have whatever you want But then who gets to decide who gets good question what guns well? Texas is sort of taking the idea that just everybody has a gun Will arm society is a polite society. Well, I run white all of a sudden and then teachers should have Guns in the classroom and bulletproof helmets full vests Jesus aka 47 is right there right there put down the chalk I don't know man. It sucks. Yeah, it's not you think about there's no easy solution. Yeah. Well it just every time one of those things happens everybody buckles down and wants to take away guns and try to figure out legislation and I Just feel like the root of the problem is not the tools that people are using It's the fact that someone's willing to use those tools The fact that someone is willing to do that the fact that those guns are more accessible is a jet Genuine issue, but I think we can all agree that no one came for the guns Obama everything Obama's coming for the guns. Well, do you know why he knows the NRA? Because the NRA is too strong the lobbies too strong They've spent a shitload of money and continue to spend a shitload of money to make sure they protect the Second Amendment Right. Yeah, but so you're saying if they what if not for the NRA Dad hundred percent. I'm gonna take in all the guns They would have definitely done something similar to what Australia did Australia essentially made gun ownership very very very difficult They took away guns They they enacted very strict laws and they had like one mass shooting a long time ago They had a big mass shooting a long time ago. That's the thing that they don't have is like these big mass shooting Yeah, you know when you see but Australia has the same amount of people as California and it's a size of the United States Mm-hmm. Yeah, they just just saw a thing. There's a map comparisons. Yeah, your mind's like the exact same size Yeah, it's crazy and people are spread up, you know way spread out and it's the same amount of people as Los Angeles And it's in this giant-ass fucking country So when you think about being able to take people's guns in Australia make it's different the culture is different the in the idea of independence is different over there. We have a different attitude over here Yeah, I just don't want to Yeah, when you have little kids again, yeah Course changes, you know Which is like I don't ever want to worry about them growing up in a society where a teacher does have to think about wearing A fucking helmet course, of course. I mean nobody wants to think that I don't know what the solution is But the solution look getting the guns away from the people there's more guns than there are human beings in America And they're not they're not gonna stop making guns. No, it's a good business. Yeah, I don't think the guns are the problem I really don't I mean I support gun ownership. I really do I just I don't think that's the issue I think the issue is like the we saw in France and nice that some crazy fucking take a car and kill a hundred people By plowing over people and just start stabbing people to get out of car and just fucking start stabbing folks There's there's ways that people lose their fucking minds and do horrible things to people and the ways are not things you have to take Away, you have to figure out a way and I don't take away all hammers. No, right? Yeah, I don't know what the solution is, but I don't think anybody does I think what you're getting at with the mental health stuff is there I'm not opposed to there being a screening process and seeing if You have a history of violence And if you are show up on a terrorist watch list and that's where I think the NRA goes overboard It's like if you're on a fucking terrorist watch lists who doesn't agree with that Well, the only problem with that is who gets to decide who's on that terrorist watch list because there was people that were From the Green Party that were put on terrorist watch lists after 9-11 because there were anti-war Protesters and they were put on no-fly lists there was a lot of weird shit that happened where people were put on lists because they pissed off the wrong people and You know in 2001 it was way easier to do something like that than it is to do it then you go to buy a gun and then they say I'm sorry you can't purchase this weapon because you're on the Rightist and then you go to a gun show that's part of the problem Yeah, go to a gun show and you can buy a gun far easier in Kansas City I'm trying to tighten that down though Kansas Kansas you can go and People correct me if I'm wrong is it did that show called this place sucks. What am I and so you go to Kansas and Then you can get a gun With no, you don't even just an ID Kansas ID and Get it in maybe like five minutes zero train. It's nothing just you get it right away You don't have to have a background check nothing. So true. Yes. Was that true? Like when you did in 2014? I did this piece. Yeah, but you can look at can we check gun laws? No background check no background check. I'm pretty certain so but wouldn't you have this guy in Kansas this guy does with his grandma he walks into this place and he goes I Can't even guys says I can't buy the gun but she can Like that he buys these four guns or something and he kills a bunch of people so Federal law requires federally licensed firearms dealers But not private sellers to initiate a background check on the purchase Purchaser prior to sale of firearm as a result concealed weapons license holders in Kansas are exempt from the federal background check requirement It's crazy. No training. No background check. Hold on a second concealed white weapons license holders Like you have to have a concealed weapons license, which is difficult to acquire It's not easy to get a concealed weapons license unless if they have a different law there background checks in Kansas That's concealed but I think but concealed weapons is like the hardest thing to get is a concealed carry federal law provides states with the options of serving a state Kansas has no law requiring firearms dealers to initiate background checks prior Transferring a firearm as a result in Kansas firearms dealers must initiate the background check required by federal law by contacting the FBI directly Kansas is not a point of contact state Huh? So they have to contact the FBI federal law does not require dealers to conduct a background check of a firearm Purchaser presents a state permit to purchase or possess firearms that meet certain certain conditions So it seems like there's definitely some wiggle room. Yeah Yeah for sure and then you know That's what I was talking about these gun shows where you can just go gobble up a bunch of firearms And they can bring them into that's what they just transport them across state lines And it's one of those things like many human issues where there's not a whole lot of like Clear paths. It's like there's so many guns You're never gonna take them all away from people and should you take them all away from them? Like if a guy like you has a gun I don't feel like no danger or threat unless you get in one of your goddamn tirades Maybe I'm not the best example. I shoot a hack Did you hear that bit like not a bit the video Carlos Mancilla was on Joey Diaz's show Saying they thought about bringing a gun around and going to the comic store and shooting people and he was carrying a gun in his Car like no way. I'm crazy Well there maybe you shouldn't have gone. Yeah
