The media ask whether it's time to repeal the Second Amendment. Democrats say the NRA is responsible

0:04.4

for the Florida school shooting, and Republicans shoot down a bunch of immigration proposals.

0:09.0

We'll talk about all of it. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

0:16.4

Obviously, the tragedy of the Parkland school shooting is still on everyone's mind.

0:21.3

And every time there's a massive shooting like this, whether it's Las Vegas or whether it is Sandy Hook,

0:26.5

we now go into a predictable cycle of outrage where folks say things that are ridiculous.

0:31.9

They impute motives to other people that are ridiculous.

0:35.0

And then those people fire back, and it becomes highly irritating.

0:37.7

Well, we're going to talk a little bit about some of those arguments today. Jimmy Kimmel, of course, jumped into the phrase, so we'll have to deconstruct what he says. I'll stop deconstructing Jimmy Kimmel on politics when he stops talking about politics on a late-night show. We are also going to be jumping into a column that was written by Brett Stevens a year ago, but is now being passed around the internet again about repealing the Second Amendment.

0:56.1

We'll get to all of that.

0:56.9

But first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Quip. So when it comes to health, brushing your teeth is one of the most important parts of your day. Actually, they've connected gum health to heart health, believe it or not. And that is why it's imperative that you brush right, right? When you have a manual toothbrush, those things just don't work as well as a nice

electric toothbrush, but those electric toothbrushes take forever to charge, and then it's hard to travel with them because you have to bring the charger with you. Well, that's where Quip comes in. It's the new electric toothbrush that packs just the right amount of vibrations into a slimmer design at a fraction of the cost to bulkier traditional electric brushes. And Guiding Pulse's alert you want to switch sides

1:30.3

so you make sure that you're brushing the right amount of time and that makes it effortless. Quip also comes to the mount that suction right to your mirror unsticks to use as a cover for hygienic travel anywhere, whether it's going to be in your gym bag or on your carry-on. And right now, best of all, they have a subscription plan that refreshes your brush

1:44.3

on a dentist recommended schedule, delivering new brushheads every three months for just five bucks, including free shipping worldwide. So you never have to worry about when you're going to replace the brush heads. You've been using yours for seven months. It's disgusting already, but you forgot about it, and you can't remember when you last put on a brush head. Well, now quip ships them to you every month so these are being replaced on a regular basis

2:01.6

quip is backed by a network of over 10,000 dental professionals. We use it in the Shapiro household, and it starts at just 25 bucks. So if you go to get quip.com slash Shapiro, you get your first refill pack free with a quip electric toothbrush. That's your first refill pack free at get quip.com slash Shapiro. Again, that's G-E-T-Q-U-I-P-com

slash Appiro. Get get quip.com slash Shapiro. Again, that's G-E-T-Q-U-I-P-com slash Shapiro.

2:20.2

2:24.1

Well worth the time and money.

2:25.8

Okay, so the fallout from the shooting a couple of days ago continues as well it should.

2:31.3

And again, it's the circular argument that has become highly irritating to everybody

2:35.0

involved in which people on the left scream do something. People on the right say, well, what would you have us do?

2:39.8

And then people on the left say, well, if you're even asking that question, it means you don't want to do something.
