RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

WATTERS: "Hundreds of thousands of Americans die each year because of heart disease and diabetes. Are you going to ban fast food? A million people die from alcohol. Very going to ban booze? Once a month get stabbed, do you blame the knife. When someone hit someone with her car, do blame that car or the person. Why when you shoot someone to blame the gun. I researched the segments. Got some great stats. Two-thirds of gun deaths in the United States are suicides. Let that sink in. One in five were young men aged 15 to 34. Gang-related, usually illegal guns. Most mass shootings are an infinitesimal percentage of the gun deaths and most homicides are committed with a handgun, not an ar-15. You guys were arguing in the break. When people get shot in Chicago on the weekend, dozens. The left says nothing. But when the same amount of people are killed by one shooter, they go after the guns. What’s the difference? What’s the difference?"
