Joe Rogan Warns About Taking Away Guns And ‘Leaving All The Power To The Government’ Following Texas School Shooting
By Katie Jerkovich
Podcaster Joe Rogan warned about taking guns away and “leaving all the power to the government” following the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and said “only criminals are gonna have guns” and not “law-abiding citizens.”
During “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast on Thursday, the host spoke with his guest, artificial intelligence researcher/podcaster Lex Fridman, about the tragedy that left 19 students and two teachers dead.
Rogan said what happened at Robb Elementary School, which is only an hour and a half away from his studio, was a “completely f***ed up situation where a sick person got a hold of a bunch of guns and decided to go kill kids.” He said it “happens in this country every now and then” and “no one knows how to stop that.”
“What is the answer?” the host asked. “Is the answer to take everyone’s guns? Well, they’re not gonna give their guns up. So, you’re gonna have, only criminals are gonna have guns. It’s not gonna be a good situation.”
“And is the answer to make schools these armored compounds, where you have armed guards outside of every school dressed like it’s a military?” he added. “Boy, that’s not something we want either. But what do you do to protect the children? And how many dollars is that going to cost?”
