TUCKER CARLSON: Well, I think it's just dumb. I mean, there is no social scientist or criminologist in the world who would say this is going to reduce gun violence. It's a tax against all gun buyers and gun retailers when anyone who studies it knows a very small number of people is responsible for the overwhelming majority of gun violence in the country. But even from an epidemiological point of view, it doesn't make sense. Consider car accidents, which kill about three times more people than gun murders do. Would it make sense to increase the tax on car sales or require a background check to buy one or ban private sales of vehicles or to limit the number of gallons of gasoline you could put in the car? Of course not. You look at the populations that are most likely to cause car accidents. Look at drunk driving. You look at young drivers. I mean, this is not actually an answer to gun violence. It's a way of disarming law-abiding citizens, obviously. And they are not even pretending otherwise. They can't explain how this is going to make Seattle safer. It won't and they know it.
