When guest host Tara Setmayer argued that potential shooters would just use handguns \u2013 like the ones used in the Virginia Tech shooting \u2013 Goldberg appeared to suggest that would still be an improvement because handguns don\u2019t \u201cturn people to dust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wherein Whoopi first asserts that an AR-15 can &#8220;turn people to dust&#8221; and then suggests that owning one should land you in jail. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DoeHJRhtWF\">pic.twitter.com\/DoeHJRhtWF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Virginia Kruta (@VAKruta) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VAKruta\/status\/1532069766583959553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 1, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the first thing you got to do is keep the guns out of \u2013\u201d Goldberg began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, I understand that but it\u2019s not as easy when you have a country that has more guns than people,\u201d Setmayer pushed back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt actually is easy,\u201d Goldberg insisted, noting that everyone on the show had met someone whose life had been changed by gun violence. She then pivoted to suggest that anyone who didn\u2019t \u201csee the need\u201d to get rid of the AR-15 would also \u201cnever see the need\u201d to help people solve mental health issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd you can say, well, I wish they had more mental health check-ins, but people who don\u2019t see the need to remove one gun, one gun, the people who don\u2019t see a need to remove that will never see the need to make sure that people get the help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if you remove the AR-15, they can use handguns,\u201d Setmayer replied. \u201cVirginia Tech, the guy used handguns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me tell you, a handgun does not turn people to dust,\u201d Goldberg said, prompting applause from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation turned to whether or not a ban on \u201cassault weapons\u201d would have any impact on the number of mass shootings that occurred, and multiple co-hosts argued that a ban would work to bring the numbers down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the guns, it\u2019s the guns, it\u2019s the guns,\u201d Joy Behar repeated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou still had people shooting in the inner cities. It\u2019s different than this,\u201d Setmayer added. \u201cIt\u2019s a complicated issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one gun. We\u2019re saying take one gun out of the plethora of guns that are out there,\u201d Goldberg continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo then what happens to the black market then?\u201d Setmayer asked. \u201cSo we say we ban the AR-15. There are more AR-15s are the most popular weapon in this country \u2013 I\u2019m just saying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll tell you what happens. The same thing that happens that is being threatened to women who decide maybe I need to go talk to somebody about an abortion, where they say, \u2018Report them and we\u2019ll put them in jail.\u2019 That\u2019s what,\u201d Goldberg concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whoopi Goldberg let loose on AR-15 owners for the second day in a row, saying during Wednesday\u2019s broadcast of \u201cThe View\u201d that it was time to outlaw the AR-15 and report anyone who owned one.
