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 funded in part by you...the American taxpayer.

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!
