SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Everybody wants honest law enforcement, period, end of sentence. We need good police officers that are well trained that have the equipment and also the ability to maintain and restore order when disruptions happen. Period. And you gotta do that for grandma, grandpa, moms and dads and innocent kids that have no means to defend themselves, none whatsoever. And by the way, how does anybody defend themselves against an angry mob? It becomes next to impossible.
AMI HOROWITZ (GUEST): Well, that's why when you don't do that, what you end up happening is that horrific shooting we saw in Wisconsin. When there's an absence of police protection, or perceived police protection, there's absence of security, you see private citizens, a group of people who really shouldn't be running around with guns, but they do and that's when things escalate because they're not trained professionals. I know their hearts are in the right place for the most part but they're not trained professionals and they go out with guns and they escalate the situation.
HANNITY: People now are out there, we saw this in the Michigan statehouse, we saw this in the CHAZ CHOP zone in Atlanta after the Rayshard Brooks case, we've now seen this again in Wisconsin, in Kenosha, is that is when people start coming out in large groups with their firearms, it's usually not going to end well. And as the biggest defender of the Second Amendment in this country, it's problematic. Now, the problem is is those people that are talking about defunding the police which they're doing in cities, at some point people have no other option. If the police won't defend you, what do honest law abiding people then do? They're now creating a situation.
