This is utterly mind-boggling. Sacha Baron Cohen of Ali G and Borat, has a new show called Who Is America - where he interviews people in disguise and they say some truly shocking stuff. He gets Republican lawmakers to advocate for arming toddlers as young and 3 and 4 years of age.

Watch the whole clip but the most shocking stuff is towards the end.

"Larry Pratt, executive director emeritus of Gun Owners of America said "toddlers are pure, uncorrupted by fake news or homosexuality. They don't care if it's politically correct to shoot a mentally deranged gunman. They'll just do it."

"Former Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois, who is now a conservative radio host, said the "kinder-guardian" program "introduces specially selected children, from 12 to four years old, to pistols, rifles, semi-automatics, and a rudimentary knowledge of mortars."

What sort of lunatics do they have in charge over there?

sweet mother of god.

I'm so glad that we dont have that mentality here.

.. Having said that.. technically.. No type of firearm is illegal here.

there's such a thing as a licence for a prohibited weapon
(you'll just have to convince a judge that the patriot missile, flame thrower, uzi and Barrett rifel you want is for the control of vermon )

nothing better than a Barrett M82 for shooting mice a mile away.

@3.36 the camera mans shirt (or belly) ripples from the air pressure from the gun

Thought who would fall for a Baron Cohen skit in 2018.

Oh republicans.

Muahahaha

The full show is on Channel 4 at 10pm tonight. Cohen has always been superb about getting dangerous people to tell him what they really think so it should be an interesting watch.

In fairness, its rudimentary training. Probably just the basics. I wouldn't worry

Come on, show of hands... is anyone even remotely surprised by those quotes in the op? Even a tiny, little bit?

Only started watching British tv again. Every show is either trying to make fun of america or clearly trying to emulate American tv. Embarrassing.

And a conservative radio host is not in charge of anything.

Nothing like a mortar barrage scare away a home intruder.

It's cultural differences.

They get offended by the word c unt.

We get offended by the massacre of innocent children.

Tomato tomato.

He was born and raised in England, you might as well be asking why Roman Catholic Katie Taylor is bothering with that whole boxing malarkey when the Italian football team is currently in a mess.

"Children under five also have elevated levels of the pheromone Blink-182, produced by the part of the liver known as the Rita Ora," Pratt adds. "This allows nerve reflexes to travel along the Cardi B neural pathway to the Wiz Khalifa 40% faster."
