<p>Podcaster Joe Rogan warned about taking guns away and &#8220;leaving all the power to the government&#8221; following the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and said &#8220;only criminals are gonna have guns&#8221; and not &#8220;law-abiding citizens.&#8221;</p>
<p>During &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7f7MM2aHEoRHie7i7MI7A2?si=F38E2uxBQsymHrF-wFL_2g">podcast</a> on Thursday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-lights-up-lori-lightfoots-call-to-arms-what-the-f-are-you-saying-youre-in-the-most-violent-city-in-this-country">host</a> spoke with his guest, artificial intelligence researcher/podcaster Lex Fridman, about the tragedy that left 19 students and two teachers dead.</p>
<p>Rogan said what happened at Robb <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/little-girl-trapped-with-shooter-repeatedly-called-9-1-1-as-police-waited-outside-officials">Elementary School,</a> which is only an hour and a half away from his studio, was a &#8220;completely f***ed up situation where a sick person got a hold of a bunch of guns and decided to go kill kids.&#8221; He said it &#8220;happens in this country every now and then&#8221; and &#8220;no one knows how to stop that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What is the answer?&#8221; the host asked. &#8220;Is the answer to take everyone&#8217;s guns? Well, they&#8217;re not gonna give their guns up. So, you&#8217;re gonna have, only criminals are gonna have guns. It&#8217;s not gonna be a good situation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And is the answer to make schools these armored compounds, where you have armed guards outside of every school dressed like it&#8217;s a military?&#8221; he added. &#8220;Boy, that’s not something we want either. But what do you do to protect the children? And how many dollars is that going to cost?&#8221;</p>
<p>Later, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/makes-people-lose-faith-in-law-enforcement-rogan-slams-la-da-not-filing-felony-charges-against-suspect-in-dave-chappelle-attack">podcast host</a> recalled something he once tweeted, &#8220;this country has a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem. And that&#8217;s what it is.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s wise to take all the guns away from people and leave all the power to the government,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;We see how they are even with an armed populace, they still have a tendency towards totalitarianism. And the more increased power and control you have over people, the easier it is for them to do what they do.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Freedoms lost are rarely regained,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The situation is, should you be able to own a gun to defend yourself if you&#8217;re a law-abiding citizen and you know the police are horribly understaffed and you know that crime and violence are real things? &#8230; What should we do? Should you leave these people unarmed and to be at the mercy of a criminal?&#8221;</p>
<p>His guest, Fridman, agreed and said it is &#8220;much more a mental health problem &#8230; This is a tragedy, but there&#8217;s also an element to this that it&#8217;s a tragedy the way a hurricane is a tragedy — that there are cruel things happen[ing] in this world … and it&#8217;s dangerous to generalize from those problems into something like what I hear about there&#8217;s a race war or there&#8217;s a gun control problem.&#8221;</p>
