Joe Rogan opposes gun control: ‘Only criminals are gonna have them’
Joe Rogan blasted calls to ban guns in the wake of the Texas elementary school massacre, saying that if the government moved to take away firearms then “only criminals” would have them.
Rogan defended his opposition to gun control after gunman Salvador Ramos 18, shot dead 19 students and two teachers last week at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
“It’s like, how do you stop that? No one knows how to stop that,” he said during an interview with scientist Lex Fridman Thursday on an episode of his Spotify podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“What is the answer? Is the answer to take everyone’s guns? Well, they’re not gonna give their guns up. Only criminals are gonna have guns. It’s not gonna be a good situation.”
Rogan added that he doesn’t think it’s smart “to take all the guns away from people and give all the power to the government.”
“We see how they are with an armed populace, they still have a tendency towards totalitarianism.”
Rogan continued: “And the more increased power and control you have over people, the easier it is for them to do what they do.”
“And it’s a natural inclination, when you’re a person in power, to try to hold more power and acquire more power.”
