Howard Stern slams gun-control push: ‘Imagine if the Jews’ had AR-15s

Howard Stern went off on pro-gun control politicians Wednesday, saying they wish to strip Americans of their guns and turn them into sitting ducks.
“I’m so upset about Orlando and what went down, but I can’t believe these people who come out afterwards and their answer to Orlando is to take away guns from the public,”
Mr. Stern said on his Sirius XM show, The Daily Caller
reported. “It’s [expletive] mind-blowing to me.”
He argued that many Americans are like sheep and don’t know how to defend themselves.
“We basically think everything’s OK,” he said. “Except the wolves — the bad guys, ISIS, or terrorists, homegrown or otherwise — they’re wolves.
“Now what if I went up to the sheep and I said, ‘You wanna have a shot at the wolves?’”
Mr. Stern continued. “I’m going to give you a pistol. You can actually even the playing field with these wolves whose fangs are out — you can shoot them.’ There’s not a sheepdog for every citizen.
“The most gun-free zone on the planet is a plane,” he said. “What did the wolves do [on 9/11]? They said, ‘This is great. We’ll just kill the sheep with box cutters.’ They went on the plane with box cutters and all the sheep went, ‘Baaaa.’ … The wolves are always plotting. They’ll use box cutters. They’ll use an airplane [and] fly it right into a building. They don’t need AR-15s.
“Can you imagine if the Jews, at least when the Nazis where banging on the door, if they had a couple of pistols, AR-15s, to fight the Nazis?” he asked. “I don’t like violence — I don’t like any of this stuff — but I consider myself a sheep. Most of your politicians have private security, so they’re OK. Those are sheep that are very well protected. You, on the other hand, are a sitting duck. If you’re a sitting duck, do you want a fighting chance or not?
“I’m just a sheep, I’ll admit it, but I’m not for taking away people’s rights,” he said.
