"So that's the ad? 'F' the NRA? kind of moronic, no?" Tucker asked Davis.
"It started a whole other conversation about guns and I'm grateful for that," Davis replied.
"But ... doesn't it degrade you? You used the 'F-word' in an ad!?" Carson incredulously wondered.
"Being polite has not made our schools any safer ... it hasn't protected police officers like I used to be," Davis said, in reference to the fact that many officers are trained to fear that any suspect they approach might be armed.
"If a curse word on TV offends you more than pictures of dead children in Parkland or Newtown ... then your priorities are all wrong," Davis concludes.
The interview promptly disintegrated.

We will never talk sense into "conservatives." We can only hope to put them back into their place.

but you see enough clips elsewhere to know them.
Carlson will continue to rant about the F word and will make points with his viewers with it. He will ignore the actual point.
