Tucker Carlson debated a New York City councilman and lieutenant governor candidate over the Democrats' proposed new assault weapons ban in the wake of the Florida school shooting.
Jumaane Williams, a Democrat who represents Flatbush and Canarsie in Brooklyn, said some 30,000 Americans are killed by guns every year, including suicides.
Carlson agreed that gun violence must be curbed, but asked Williams if another iteration of an assault weapons ban is a wise move.
He said the Justice Deparment previously ruled that the prior ban "saved no lives."
"The real question is, do you believe that we should have unfettered access to guns in this country," Williams asked.
Carlson said Williams' question was irrelevant, pointing to the actual text of the new bill.
Carlson pointed out the legislation calls for guns featuring barrel shrouds, pistol grips and bayonet appendages to be outlawed.
"I'm responding to an actual piece of proposed legislation - proposed by your allies in the Democratic Party," Carlson said.
He continued to press Williams on the legislation itself.
"I deal in facts, and you deal in mindless generalizations that do nothing but get you votes," Carlson said.

And the remaining 1/3 are Chicago shootings.
Yes he seems to have a regular cast of characters. That chick with the crazy eyes is downright scary. I can’t imagine living with somebody as perpetually angry as she is.
'Cause a barrel shroud and pistol grip make any firearm more deadly, and then there's those bayonet attacks... < /sarc >
“Tucker Carlson debated an unarmed man ,LOL”
A common occurrence on that show. I’d add they are often insane as well as unarmed.
Perpetual PMS, writ large.
“I can’t imagine living with somebody as perpetually angry as she is.”
What really drives the crazy home is the constant half-smile, lol.

I don't either, but liberal social policies since the 1960s have driven us to this point.
They use generalizations because they are easier to twist page one in hand book.
Trash the Constitution, and hope that the Socialists don't kill everyone on a whim...
Or, deny any and all democrats the privileges of citizenship, and reduce them to second or third class status. We'll try to keep them fed, but there ARE priorities...
Middle ground is shrinking, fast.
“There’s something wrong with that guy. He was jerking around during the entire interview.”
Yeah, we was. But the most jitterbug guest he’s had on his show is a diminutive, bald-headed little twit with a Greek name. The guy is an uber-lib who bounces around like a jumping bean.
Tucker nailed it - they speak in platitudes because they have no rational, fact-based answers to reality...
Thanks.
GUN CONTROL VIOLENCE
The correct term
is NOT Gun Violence,
but is Gun CONTROL Violence.
Disarming heroes & victims is violent.
So it's more like 10,000 deaths from gun-related murders. 20,000 from suicides. Using the latest US population figure of 325,000,000 and 30,000 total gun deaths per year, that's only a .00009 % rate overall. Just using 10,000 murders by gun out of 325,000,000 people, drops the rate to .00003 %, a very small slice of the population.
The majority of those murders would be with a handgun, not an AR-15. The "mass" murders maybe not. If you just used a number, say 20% of the 10,000 are gun murders using AR-15s (the other 80% are the murders with handguns) that's only 2000 murders with AR-15s. That is .000006 % of the total population murdered with AR-15s, an even smaller rate.
If you wanted to do your own self in with a gun, people would use a handgun. They sure as heck wouldn't do it with an AR-15. So getting rid of AR-15s wouldn't affect the suicides committed by gun or other weapons.
The democRATS trying to control AR-15s because of this very small number of deaths, where it was the weapon of choice, is a hand-wringing, over-wrought solution without a significant problem to solve.
But then again, tell us something we don't already know....
