'The View': Whoopi Goldberg Tells NRA They Have To 'Give Up' AR-15 Guns, Says 'You Can Have Your Other Yeehaw Guns'

On The View, Goldberg took on the gun lobby.

In the wake of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, Goldberg gave a passionate plea to end gun violence in a recent panel on the long-running ABC daytime talks show The View.

Goldberg declared that the AR-15s had to go.

The EGOT winner then mentioned another mass shooting that took place days before the one in Uvalde, in which 10 Black people were murdered by a white supremacist with an AR-15 style rifle at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York

She said that she didn't care, and that she had to give up the gun. You can have any yeehaw guns you want. The gun is not a hunting gun. It isn't a gun where you're going to shoot your dinner.

Goldberg pointed out how the AR-15 is designed to kill people and how it has hurt children.

“This gun is meant to kill people. That’s what it’s for,” she continued. “And you can’t have it anymore. And I’m not even going to tell you how pissed I am that so many folks are saying, ‘Well, you can’t have what you need for your body. Forget my body. You can’t have this gun because it kills people and children, and I’m sick of it.”

Goldberg urged those watching to vote for the right people in order to find a solution.

I don't know what it will take. Maybe it will take us to vote for the right people. I'm sick of seeing kids die because people don't pay attention.
