Fox News host Tucker Carlson opened his popular show Tucker Carlson Tonight by ridiculing National Public Radio (NPR) for their clownish new double standard on the Second Amendment rights of Americans. Apparently, only the LGBTQ alphabet mob is permitted to own firearms, according to U.S. state media outlet. Carlson called them out using sarcastic humor and ridicule in a way only he can pull off.
Setting the stage, Carlson narrated: “[T]he other day, we’re driving through Cambridge in the old hybrid Subaru, adjusting our surgical masks to cover both nose and mouth and listening needless to say to National Public Radio, the voice of menopausal liberalism. And as we're listening we hear this.”
Carlson then cut to an audio clip of a segment that aired on New Hampshire Public Radio:
EYDER PERALTA (NPR HOST): Mass shootings targeting LGBTQ spaces, and a rise in anti-trans rhetoric, have inspired some queer people to take up arms. New Hampshire Public Radio’s Todd Bookman joined a monthly gathering of a gun group that sees firearms as key to their own self-defense. And as you might imagine, this story does include the sound of gunfire.
TODD BOOKMAN: On a recent Sunday morning, the parking lot of Pawtuckaway State Park in southeastern New Hampshire is filling up with hikers. There’s also a different crew packing up warm clothes and weapons.
FIN SMITH: Thank you all for coming to Rainbow Reload.
When that laughably hypocritical segment ended, Carlson returned and laughed at the taxpayer-funded propagandists he just heard suddenly support gun rights after spending decades railing against them.
“Your anti-trans rhetoric makes the trans community carry guns,” Carlson said sarcastically. “Rainbow Reload!! They’re packing heat, they’ll be appendix carrying in more ways than one, watch out.”
For anyone who didn’t grasp the stunning hypocrisy, Carlson pointed it out to them: “Wait a second, we thought. This is NPR? National Public Radio? Suddenly telling you that actually guns are good, they’re valuable tools of self-defense, really against you. So, there are times when guns are good, says NPR.”
“We've been listening to NPR since, well, Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers. And we remember very clearly their position on guns,” Carlson added.
Referencing a hilarious segment (which we highlighted at NewsBusters last year), Carlson remarked: “This is the same NPR that in between updates on the latest trans dinosaur emojis, we've been following those very carefully, routinely run segments calling for more gun control, and not subtle ones like the segment entitled ‘many gun owners support gun control. So why don't they speak out?’”
Despite previously attacking law-abiding gun owners, the very “same National Public Radio, state radio, state media, controlled by the Biden administration, [is] encouraging people to go to the gun store immediately.”
There’s a catch though, NPR doesn’t support gun rights for all Americans, “just trans people,” Carlson noted. “Guns are bad except in the hands of trans people.”
The left only wants their people armed while disarming anyone who might want to rebel against them. As Carlson noted, this is how all tyrants operate.
This ridiculous NPR segment highlighted by Tucker Carlson was made possible NPR is funded in part by you...the American taxpayer.

TUCKER CARLSON: So you can imagine our surprise, the other day we’re driving through Cambridge in the old hybrid Subaru, adjusting our surgical masks to cover both nose and mouth and listening needless to say to National Public Radio, the voice of menopausal liberalism. And as we're listening we hear this. We’re going to play it for you. See if you can understand our total shock.

CARLSON: Your anti-trans rhetoric makes the trans community carry guns. Rainbow Reload!! They’re packing heat, they’ll be appendix carrying in more ways than one, watch out. Wait a second, we thought. This is NPR? National Public Radio? Suddenly telling you that actually guns are good, they’re valuable tools of self-defense, really against you. So, there are times when guns are good, says NPR.
And we thought, wait a second! We've been listening to NPR since, well, Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers. And we remember very clearly their position on guns. For example, quote, ‘the U.S. has more guns than any other country in the world.’ This is the same NPR that in between updates on the latest trans dinosaur emojis, we've been following those very carefully, routinely run segments calling for more gun control, and not subtle ones like the segment entitled ‘many gun owners support gun control. So why don't they speak out?’
Oh yeah! A lot of gun owners support gun control, of course, they do. And yet here’s that same National Public Radio, state radio, state media, controlled by the Biden administration, encouraging people to go to the gun store immediately. But not all people. Just trans people. Guns are bad except in the hands of trans people. Wow!
Okay, one more try posting FoxNews’ article:

I watched that. He did say that. Interesting.
National Public Radio?
aka “Public Radio International” in a smug French accent.
NPR is not loyal to the U.S. Constitution or the USA, they are Globalist Leftist Idiots.
All they know and are capable of doing is telling others what theuy “MUST DO”.
They can put that Leftist Totalitarian Crap where the sun don’t shine.
And Yes, we will keep our fire arms.
Tucker is still hiding the J6 evidence.
His reports are censored by RINO, Inc.
Yet, the 'trans community chooses to believe they're in danger from MAGA. Idiots - we are NOT interested in their lives or fashion statements or anything.
MAGA parents want adults to keep their sexuality to themselves when around children - stop being bullies and forcing your kink on the rest of us.
NPR should also.oppose it? Only is in the wrong place.
I thought there was a push to not allow mentally ill people access to weapons.?
They probably shouldn’t own any guns considering their high suicide rates
Wait a minute! No it's not...it's totally predictable.
His reports are censored by RINO, Inc.
How about Kevin McCarthy? He can see that the murdochs are sitting on Tucker.
Why doesn't he release the videos to the internet, and let us all see.
Too much transparency can make us all transgummint.
Pretty sure he was quoting Andy Ngo about that. Much more believable than NPR’S assertion trans people are being mass murdered by straight people.
So, guns really are symbollic penises? 🤣
Or maybe that would be a good thing.
“Mentally ill” maybe includes NPR...??
GerBiLs more often KILL EACH OTHER than being victimized by normals, by a longshot.
Andy Ngo said most transgender murders are black men. Not Tucker.
The issue Tucker was trying to point out is the hypocrisy of the “progressives” who promote their ilk to own guns for self protection (rainbow reload -NH) while saying guns don’t protect.
“progressives” who promote their ilk to own guns for self protection (rainbow reload -NH) while saying guns don’t protect.
Well what i say to that is come down to my home and try something evil to me or my family. I think you will surprised at how well GUNS protect.
The second amendment applies to queers and their tranny subset the same as to the rest of us.
Anyone who can’t be trusted to be armed should not be running around loose.
That is a mystery. Is McCarthy protecting the Swamp on his own, or does he have a boss telling him to kill the story?
