Frequent Fox News guest Mark Steyn reacted to a heated segment on Thursday’s broadcast of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” the same way most of America probably did.

Just prior to Steyn’s segment, Carlson — a founder of The Daily Caller — debated Democratic Florida state Sen. Gary Farmer over gun control, and Carlson ended the hit by cutting off his guest after he couldn’t produce a real answer.

“You will not concede that and instead turn the blame back on blameless American citizens,” Carlson told Florida state Sen. Gary Farmer. “Giving people like you power is frightening. That’s the bottom line. I’m out, because I can’t get a straight answer from you.”

Carlson turned to Steyn without skipping a breath and started the new segment.

“By the way we had a gun registry up in Canada, Tucker that was a complete fiasco,” Steyn stated in support. “It got completely infected with inaccurate information… It became just another pointless, inaccurate boondoggle.
