My 62 year old mother tells me every single time there is a school shooting that she and several other teachers, assistants, and staff have discussed how they will not hesitate to use their own bodies as shields to protect the children. The school is close enough to my house that I will be able to hear the shots being fired in the event of a school shooting. Earlier this year she told a student to stop hitting the little girl sitting next to him and he looked my mother in the eye and told her he was going to bring his daddy's gun to school so he can kill her. This is the country we live in. Yes guns are fun to shoot, but I'm not trying to see my mother or my nephews lying in caskets along with all the other victims of the next school shooting.
Only one answer then. Vote blue because they are the only party seriously looking at this issue.
Why not just buy some body armour and a gun instead of being a human shield?
@@Robertsmith001 because some people don't want to carry a firearm into a school. They've never used one and don't want to. What a society we've created. Everyone has to wear body armour including 62 year old grandmas in a school. Why not all just drive around in tanks and carry grenades and RPG launchers.
@@Robertsmith001 right, I’m convinced some people just don’t understand that you may be called to defend yourself or others. I guess all folks aren’t built for that. If you’re not built for that I think you should stay out of this debate. Your mother would better serve those kids by training with a firearm and returning fire on the monster instead of throwing herself in front of the kids, that’s not going to stop any thing. It’s honorable and all but not effective in stopping a active shooter. No offense meant towards you or your mother, I just think we need to look at these things in reality & approach it properly.
@Robert smith perfect example here, you don't need to carry a gun into the Capitol. All you have to do is take one away from boebert, greene,gosar or any other one of those numbnuts who think that a gun makes them safer.
"They look menacing..."
If an adult says that, imagine how a 9 yr old sees it.
Or a mental trans person
@@seanyan692 funny thing, you could almost argue 100% of mass shooters have mental health problems. So really, youre just singling out the trans person.
Least we know what kinda person you are.
luckily almost no shootings use ar 15s. so children don't have to worry
@@seanyan692 🥱
We saw how menacing they appeared to Uvalde police, despite an overwhelming numbers advantage, carrying comparable firepower, years of training, with snipers, canines, drones, body armor, armored vehicles, shields…
"I own TONS of them because my weiner is SOOO tiny. When I arm myself with an AR it feels like it grows 6 inches!"
You can't do a mass shooting with a brick.
Sure you can one guy with a gun another with a brick but you do realize there are things much more dangerous
@Syrious_ Kash well most repeat jokes and yes I do find it funny and yes china makes guns lots of them they just keep them from there own population and same for Russia and they still have crime so Russia police only gets six rounds of ammo counted each shift and turned in
“They look menacing. They look authoritative.”
So he fears authority and tricks himself into false masculinity by projecting his fear onto us with his AR.
Rather, he hopes that by owning that type of weapon he'll seem menacing and authoritative. All these people are scared and insecure about themselves. They are quite pathetic.
Owning a means of defense could be called a resort of fear,I guess, but not wanting to have a way of defending yourself is also a resort of stupidity, especially if you have a family to defend.
I’ve always found it peculiar how liberals, self proclaimed champions of women’s rights, just completely avoid this topic since guns are an equalizer
@@drivenbullet260 Trying to sound dominant?
@@drivenbullet260 How is it possible you've never been to a Trump rally?
@@drivenbullet260 you can defend it all you want, AR 15 are for killing people. It's a weapon of war. Are you fighting a war, or is this just a fashion statement for you?
What they all really say is: "I am a 10-year old boy who wants to be a man, but I never grew up."
That is precisely the problem.
E-X-A-C-T-L-Y
I'm in Texas and it's part of the culture. My husband owes an AR-15 and MANY MORE. (Please call it an ArmaLite because they will call you stupid and walk away from any conversation.) Make no mistake he bought it because it wanted it. I've questioned him and others SO MANY times why they need it that I'm exhausted. There IS NO reason. They want it because it's cool, fun, it's intimidating and to "assault" wild pigs and deer. They say it's for protection but they know it's an excuse. When mass shootings happen they will send thoughts and prayers, they'll give ANY explanation on how to solve them problem except GIVING UP the AR. The real truth is they don't care. Yeah they can sympathize but it won't matter really until it hits home personally. I've tried, begged and tried to play on their emotions but nothing works. I get the standard "tree hugging libtard". They would rather watch the world go down in a cloud of gunfire than give up their favorite TOY. Maybe next time at target practice I could give them all a taste of the brick. LOL
Facts!
You're saying it's a bad thing they don't care. Every year at least 30 kids drowned in swimming pools by continuing to support the swimming pool industry you're saying you don't care about those 30 kids see saying you don't care if isn't necessarily A Bad Thing
@@robertstone9988 is that sarcasm or serious?
@@robertstone9988 Let's ban lakes and rivers too because they cause more drowning deaths each year. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@robertstone9988 Absolutely idiotic. Were pools designed and manufactured specifically and solely for the purpose of making living things dead? No, they weren't. Guns are. Shove the excuses and rationalizations someplace really uncomfortable. Fact: your hobby is more important to you than the lives of children (well, as long as they're somebody else's kids anyway).
'IGNORANT AND ARMED' SHOULD NOT BE AMERICAS MOTTO!!!
But it is.
People who desperately want a gun should not have one at all.
What if Republicans plan to kill them and the Democrats DON'T CARE IF THEY DYE?
Carried an M-16 in Vietnam 56 years ago and never had the desire to ever hold one again let alone own one.
Welcome home.
I’m in the Army, been in over 20 years. I don’t have personal weapons. I shouldn’t have to have a personal weapon in a free society. My opinion. Also, I don’t think a lot of people should have personal weapons and I have no problem with this. That whole defend against tyranny bit is garbage IMO. You’re not gonna win against our Army.

They buy them because they are afraid. That's all. Afraid.
Yeah, afraid of higher potential resale value than anything else. I pay 550 each and they regularly sell for 975-1200. Even a pawn shop will give me 650, that's 100-650 dollars profit just for buying it. You can't beat capitalism.

AR 15 for hunting? who taught you how to shoot? Elmer Fudd?

Its the same gun as any hunting rifle 😂😂😂
@@firstsonofthesea7938
No it’s not 😂😂you must not go hunting like ever lol !
@@firstsonofthesea7938
No it is not the same as any other hunting rifle . The caliber is too small & made to tumble so it would destroy your meat . You have no idea what you’re talking about .
@@CaptainGrnThmbs AR15’s come in a multitude of calibers. Including ones specifically designed for hunting. So it is you that has no idea what they are talking about. The ar15 can be used for anything from squirrels to grizzly bears.
The problem is not the AR15, the problem is gun nuts saying no to everything and refusing any and all attempts to regulate guns more effectively than we currently do.
I cannot sufficiently describe how unsympathetic a person is when they say that they think guns are fun. I don’t give a sh-t about you having fun, your having fun does not matter more than people’s lives.
The problem is people who decide what I should think for me and will not acknowledge my rights. Regulations? Sure. Safety education? Yes. Periodic Inspection, control and evaluations? I support it. Taking my firearms because you don't think I should think it is fun, no way. I own and use them legally, as do millions of other firearm owners.
But the firearms are the problems. Look at other countries. When everyone will be armed we all going to need Semi automatic Grenade lunchers to defend ourselves??? How does it feels to send your kids to schools. Its ok, there's already someone that witnessed a second school shootings luckily she survived but i guess its ok because people like Marg Taylor Green will save you all.

The most effective gun for home defense is a shotgun.
Yup. And the best part is if you miss the shot will not travel through the walls endangering others.

@@DescartesStrollsIntoAPub incorrect
I I have owned many firearms, I have never believed that I need a military firearm to protect myself, if I can't defend myself without a firearm then I would be ashamed
Like Killer Mike and Ice-T said: if they put them down I will too.
Thank you, great response.
I'm a 5'3 120 pound woman, I'm a single mother of 3 children and I have never needed a gun to protect my home or my children, I have successfully protected them with a bat.
In the City of Cincinnati in a not too good neighborhood I saw and spoke to a guy mowing his lawn with a 45 cal desert eagle holstered on his belt. He was of the same ethnicity as the rest of the neighborhood and I always thought he was telegraphing to...anyone...what sort of welcome they might expect entering his home unexpectedly. He felt he needed to do that, and who am I to question otherwise? I do not think that man should be ashamed for doing what he thinks he needs to do.
@fps 079 sure, when I lived in Tucson it was not unusual to be in the check out line at Safeway behind a guy wearing a sidearm but I didn't feel any safer
Translation for that first guy, "I'm insecure , so my AR makes ME feel menacing and authoritative."

Those videos are proof that intelligent design is a failure.
It is not up to anyone BUT ME to decide whether I need an AR-15. I have several. I like them. They are excellent tools to be used in a variety of circumstances. When people claim "you don't need an AR-15 to defend yourself," they suggest great ignorance of firearms. They are the kinds of people who think it is easy to simply shoot a person in the leg, which is commonly seen in Hollywood films. In the heat of the moment, hitting a target becomes exceptionally difficult. An AR-15 makes it easier. They are also a lot of fun. This year I began buying an AR-15 each and every time I have heard a major politician claim that I do not need one. I have quite a collection, and have just added to it a few days ago.

I love TYT but as a Black Man living inside America, I’m keeping all of my guns and my AR 15 ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

I think you guys should've left the old black dude out of this conversation. If anyone has a good reason to want an AR it's a black man who lived through Jim Crowe and found out how many white supremacists own them😢
while still using the same white supremacist gun totting language that he supposedly should distance himself from?
My first instinct was that every single one of them was going to say "micro penis".
Bwhahahahaha!!! Indeed!
If guns make us safer why isn't the united states the safest place in the world....
They dont make you safe its a tool to use for your survival and safety whatever happens when bullets fly happens in any situation
I own 2 handguns, but I have no reason of wanting to own a AR-15. I have no plans of going to war.
Hanguns kill far more innocent lives than AR15s. More mass shootings are carried out with handguns. The blood of the innocent children slain is on your hands.
Good thing the military doesn't use ARs, or else your point would have made sense.
When seconds count help is minutes away. I will never disarm.
If you need an AR-15 to hit a target, you should NOT be shooting a gun.
It’s much easier to hit a target with an AR15, therefore making it less likely to hit a target that one is not aiming for by accident.
@@liberalsinmyscope9751 If I understand correctly, that’s pretty much my point.
@@crawdaddy2004 exactly, take out the bad guy without endangering innocent civilians. Glad that we agree.
@@liberalsinmyscope9751 Nope, we definitely do NOT agree.
@@crawdaddy2004 if there’s a bad guy shooting innocent people with a weapon then the counter to that is a trained, good guy with a gun. Plain and simple. You think this could’ve happened of there were armed guards standing in front of the school?
Years ago I worked with "Young Offenders" In a quiet conversation during counselling sessions they all explained, owning a gun, makes me feel powerful. I also found, the smaller the imate the more likely they were to be hiding a weapon in their cell.
Ever wonder what happens to the smaller kid? They get beaten up and sometimes raped by the bigger kids.
Basically what your saying is weaker,smaller people find comfort in being able to provide protection for themselves.... being able to provide self protection for yourself and family seems to be important to many people, they feel one shot is not enough protection against criminals who who don't abide by laws now. Murder is illegal,no matter what the weapon. It could be a knife,a fire, a powder,a virus, a car...... weapons of all sorts indeed. My premises are protected by deadly non combusting natural gases...but our constitution wanted the people to be as strong as the government to combat tyranny if needed. The only way any new world order could overtake the world is to de-weaponize Americans. The best way they can do that is to get us to hand them over happily. After every shooting,I see people turn in weapons to police who have collection corners in and around metropolitan areas across this country. It scares me that we are doing this and limiting speech.... America is not free anymore

Here we have the US gun problem in a nutshell. A bunch of weak men who feel they need a weapon to not be vulnerable in their own home. 😜
"I'm not doing it".
Allow me to offer an example of why that makes little difference. Everyone can come up with an example they see in their lives. Here's mine...
I'm a truck driver. There are a very large number of truck drivers who constantly complain about federal HOS(Hours Of Service) laws we must follow. They seem to think because they feel that they can handle their schedules responsibly, without restrictions, those restrictions shouldn't exist. That thinking is just ignorance. The laws exist because there are drivers who would be more dangerous on the roads without those laws and because there are members of management in trucking companies who would push drivers beyond their comfort levels if those laws didn't exist to curb this. I know no one really needs that example, but there it is anyway. Decisions like this aren't made to restrict the large percentage of people who can be trusted. The decisions are made to protect others from the small percentage who can't be trusted.
1 in 20 Americans own an AR-15? And 1 out of 3 own a gun? That’s depressing. I didn’t know it was that bad.
That's something to be proud of, it's why the Germans, Japanese, Soviets and PRC never invaded.
Former Republican U.S. President and California Gov. Ronald Reagan once said, "There is absolutely no reason why out on the street today a civilian should be carrying a loaded weapon." Reagan said these words on May 2, 1967.
That is likely the only statement he ever made that I can agree with.
He was afraid of the Black Panther Party they were picking up steam in the 60’s.
Regan was wrong on gun control. 100%
Dude that was in the 60's lmao. The cash app inventor was just stabbed to death in San Francisco. And me being from Chicago makes your thought process so insane. My childhood friend was shot to death driving Uber by two unknown gunmen as he picked up a passenger. Shits wild out here. I usually Carry one and I own Assault weapons for anyone or any gang who thinks I'm joking. Being from Chicago l grew up around 4-5 different Gangs. GD's, 4CH, Black P stone, Bloods from Belize who were extremely violent and Jamaican Gangs who are worse and more violent. I couldn't even begin to understand Gun control.

We need to ban all guns!
I live in a civilised country. What do you want a gun for? If you're 3 hrs from the nearest Police station in an isolated area; or live on a farm; I can understand the need; but not for military style assault rifles. Letting civilians have them is insanity.
I had some idiots threatening me at my business. When they came at me I pulled a pistol out of my pocket and told them to back off. They then called the police, because they at that point thought I had broken the law by showing them the gun. (All was recorder on cctv). But long story short it took the police more than 45 minutes to get there and “save them”. That’s in The Miami Fla. I couldn’t believe it. I kept asking them if they told 911 that I had pulled a gun on them. In tge end the police were shown the cctv footage and trespassed them from my property. But 45 minutes it took for them to get there on a firearm call in the city.
Assault rifles should never be in the hands of everyday people.
Why not?
When my spouse was deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan had an assault rifle everywhere he went. And these guns are not meant for civilians. Shooting this gun in a house can easily go through the wall and kill a family member even though the person wanted it for security for the family.
@@spaceballs44 thank you! Agree!
The self defense point is ALWAY BULLSHIT. Self defense is better done with pistols or shotguns, other short range, more compact weapons. An AR is for people who wanna start the fight. But they will never accept that

Ahh, to protect yourself from other people with guns
The older brother is right. After Trump got elected I went from 0 to 25 gun. My family consists of black, Asian, white, Indian, and Polynesian people. Trump made it ok for the racists to be and act upon their racist thoughts. Therefore I trained every member of my family in safety, maintenance, tactics, accuracy, situational awareness, and more importantly self awareness. Because no one is a criminal until they commit a crime. And the difference between a good guy with a gun and a bad guy with a gun is one too many bad days. We all have the propensity for evil. It just takes someone to push to right button at the wrong time. Don’t kid yourselves. Knowing how to calm yourself, is the most valuable skill in gun ownership.
How do YOU know...what I NEED? The answer is you DON'T!
If you need an assault rifle to hunt, you’re a terrible shot and shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun.
Again, home defence, really? A handgun does the same job.
You know nothing. Thousands/ tens of thousands yearly hunt deer, hogs, coyotes, wolves, etc with AR15's or AR 10's. Handguns fire weak cartridges compared to mediocre rifle cartridges, you don't know much, typical of most lefties.

Sadly, David Chappelle is probably correct! I Visualize a gun store about to open and 30 black people standing outside. The store door opens and the employee steps outside and asks” what are you guys all doing here”? The 30 black people reply “We’re here to buy AR 15s”!
There are 30 white people standing outside of a gun store, waiting to get inside to buy A.R. 15s.
Do you think there would be the same reaction from both groups?
That is priceless & so true!!! 👌

I had an AR-15. It's really fun to shoot. But I stopped going to the range and it was just laying there under my bed and so I sold it. It's overkill for home defense. Those 223 rounds can go through walls and it's dangerous for home defense. My handguns are fine for home defense.
Same here. I had multiple pistols, shotguns and rifles. Sold them all. Now I have one 9mm pistol. It's fine for carry and enough for home defense.
A shotgun or handgun is quite sufficient for home defense. Although modern handguns require intensive training. An assault rifle like the AR-15 is acquired because a permanent threat is already assumed in the mind. This is called paranoia. Nevertheless, I would advise any minority to arm themselves adequately according to their needs in these times. In the last 5 years, unfortunately, I had to fundamentally change my opinion about weapons. I still do not like them and hate them so much. But unfortunately I am left with no choice but to deal with it.
It's called subsonic hollow points my dude.
I'm a combat veteran, with almost nine years of active duty service. Firing guns is not 'fun.' If it's 'fun' for you to rehearse sending hot projectiles toward potential targets -- targets that will be damaged by receiving that projectile -- then you need to get laid, get a hobby, get something. Rehearsing to hurt something is not fun.
Firing guns is fun(sorry, not sorry), shaming people for lawfully using their rights for fun is not wrong or illegal or immoral.
Just a bunch of punks. Big talking punks
Tell that to millions of people 😂
Target shooting is not an actual sport?
Not God's people.
There are no words for the bitter rage I feel after watching this. Those aren't lovely people. Those are adult children who treat deadly weapons like toys. Beyond revolting.
Exactly and people like Anna always making excuses for them is the problem. Trump voters and conservatives are horrible evil people and there ai nothing redeeming about them
So now you understand how people feel about the gender ideologues.

what about the windows?

ARs aren’t really that great for hunting or home defense. There are better guns for both.
The AR platform is like All Purpose flour. Useful for both, but not specialized. As a bread enthusiast, i think all purpose flour is heresy.
Any gun is great for home defense if the user is proficient with it
What ever you think is the best firearm for home defense there is a conversion upper that fits your need. Same with hunting. There is all kinds of hunting caliber uppers for an ar15.
Such as?

The amount of guns in America is the reason I wouldn't visit.
That's not a reasonable statement.
If you have an irrational fear of gun owners, you should talk to a therapist.
It's not unreasonable, I live in Australia, and there are no gun s or very few. We only had 1 mass shooting in our history.
@@Zer0FuXGiv3n An American gun owner is a different breed. You have a 30% chance to encounter one with one or more severe mental illnesses. Drug abuse, lead in the drinking water, red hatters, evangelicals, proud boys, Fox News, .... A thousand and one reasons not to trust an American gun owner.

They Love The Violence Pure And Simple They Have Proven That They Don't Value Life At All They Need To Stop Claiming They're Pro Life And We Need To Call Them Out On That Hypocracy!
cenk had said about 11 years ago that if nothing was done after sandy hook, nothing would be done period. it wasn't the most groundbreaking statement, but i still think of it everytime this happens. Only now repubs have dropped the façade of pretending to care about little kids dying, and saying "well adults died too! what about them!"
“I’m insecure and scared, so I need an intimidating looking firearm.”
Bull Shit !!! You need less people with guns. That is the Problem, not your Insecurities.
I think the one thing they have in common is a little bitty winky.
Dude, you had me at “my puppy dog”😂😂😂😂😂. Big truck, big gun, little d..k
Bro as soon as he said "my puppy dog" I thought: ok he really needs that gun tho 😅🤣
Seriously the rest are stupid reasons. But if you're that worried about your dog, maybe just get a shotgun instead. It's the best for home invaders.
(shotguns are actually more deadly than AR-15s)
So it's a mix of guys overcompensating and people who are scared of their own shadows.
Yup...to make up for their flaccid body parts
So true
I am saving up for a howitzer.
A massive rifle buy back…around $10k per working rifle would take most of them off the streets.
40%
I like AR-15s because my pappy left me with a small pee pee! This way when I hold my rifle I feel like a man!
Americans are constantly living in a state of ptsd
Most mass shooings are done with hand guns and not AR-15s.
That's why we need to ban all hand guns too, not just these large guns.
I use to own guns, including two AR-15's. I sold them all back in the pandemic to pay for college. I had meant to get back into the hobby but became more interested in more affordable hobbies, I had like 14k invested in 8 different guns. Having the time without them made me realize how useless they really were, in many ways I feel much safer without them in my house. I am more so against them in light of the current situations we see arise today.
Defend themselves from whom ? An assault rifle for Christmas !
from leftists
@@martthesling There are no leftist in the USA , only right and far right.
I would suggest that cenk see some of security cameras video of three or more people breaking into people houses committing home invasion
"I liked how they looked. They look menacing." Well do you have to have a gun to feel powerful as an adult...something cringey and wrong. Get therapy and try for confidence without a gun.
That guy just told on himself about his small mental/emotional stature (among other things). He wants an AR b/c it makes him feel powerful. Pathetic......
I bought my Ruger 556 when some dude from Texas running for POTUS said he was gonna take them 😶
That one guy is extremely misunderstanding it. Yes, if someone wants to cause harm, they will. BUT, you can't hurt as many people with a brick or a single shot as you can with an AR-15.
I'd love to ask that one guy, what would've happened at Uvalde if you substituted the shooters AR-15 for a brick, or knife, or even a handgun. Would 400 militarized cops be too scared to do their job if the shooter had a Brick?!
All that I know is children lives are worth more than their moment of fun.
Thanks again for keeping us updated, and informed on the latest news, in real time.🌸
Right....fun to shoot. What about firearms being "tools" for self defense? Essentially viewed as a toy. Tool? Toy? which one is it? This is a serious problem. The specious notion that we relate to our firearms as tools for self defense when we really relate to them as toys for entertainment.
Not surprisingly these people are like children themselves who like to play with their guns because they are "fun". These are the same bright people who are influencing policy through who they support politically. It really is frightening.
Exactly 😬
I always think of them as pacifiers for mentally unstable people.
@@braidena1633 if we could only get them to suck on the barrel of their AR-15,'s
What a friggin sick society
I have one AR-15, I bought it around 2012 when I was 25 and stupid. I have no use for it, I bought it because it was cool. Now it sits in my safe collecting dust next to rifles and shotguns that actually get used for hunting. I would rather it rust in my safe than worry about who might end up with it.
P.S. I identify as an Independent Liberal that votes Democrat.
You can send it to me if you're not going to do anything with it! Let me know if you want my FFL's address! 😁
@@charliehammer8780 trade you for a Winchester SX4. Lol
I am a liberal democrat. I have an AR because I am afraid of crazed right wingers with AR's.
Extreme right wingers keep hinting at and threatening political violence... also there is a multi perp surge in group attacks.... I just don't want to be the only guy in the fight without an AR. I am a Vietnam vet with three Purple Hearts... followed by twelve years as a military contractor. Lots of gun fights. Name the semi auto military rifle and I have provably used it at one time or another. I am an experienced gun fighter.
Several times I have gone up against a military rifle with just a handgun... its a hard row to hoe. I survived by sheer luck, usually by just escaping.
I think that high capacity semi auto rifles should have never been allowed in the hands of the civilian public. However, I don't see a way of stuffing that genie back into the bottle.
I think a possible first step is to make the open carry of rifles illegal. Every time I see some 2A nut carrying a rifle openly I want to pull on them.... but I don't.
I like you.
No wrong reason, enjoy your weapon fellow American.
I love my AR’s but if I gotta give ‘em up I wouldn’t die
OMG we found an adult with empathy that owns a gun. (runs to the press)
@@jakep9643 lol I sense a little sarcasm but I’ll take it 🤣🤣🤣

Protect from what? Well from other people with guns….. so take the f-ing guns away

For republicans that is just too simple. Living without a gun, they can't imagine that.
I do not own a gun and in my country nobody owns guns or have specific guns for sporting or hunting and these are under very heavy regulation. Nobody carries except the police. So nobody is a threat to anyone. Now when I come to the states I am still not a threat, suddenly I am considered a potential threat to everybody because I could be carrying in the eyes of everyone. That scares me
"Fun to go to the range" "Fun to shoot". Bricks don't blow children apart.

It's so funny that guns are prohibited at Trump rallies. Why????

"They seem like lovely people" NO THEY DONT

The first guy has some insecurity issues if he needs an AR-15 to make him look tough. He's the type that shouldn't own one.
The title of this video is grammatically incorrect. "American's" is a singular possessive, not a plural.
AR-15s are much needed for home defense, and my handgun is for conceal carry, you will not infringe.

Hears my take on AR - 15 owners . I’ll use a neighbor a couple of houses down from me , he’s a 47 year old boy , he’s 5’01” , he shaves his head , he is covered with tattoos , he wears sleeveless shirts, oh and he drives a 4 wheel drive pickup , big tires, raised soo high I don’t know how he gets in it . That pickup has never been on a dirt road much less a river . The other one is pretty much the same except this one has an 90’s something Corvette parked in his driveway that hasn’t moved in over 2 years , ( yes 2 years ) . He washes and waxes it monthly, but never drives it . Another person told me that the engine was blown 3 months after he bought it. The Corvette owner has 2 AR- 15’s . I think they both have mental issues AND I watch them closely.
America needs therapy
why is there an apostrophe in "American's" in the video title? Please, TYT, you guys are too smart to have typos and grammatical errors out there like that.
I've got a friend in London, Ontario who's a gun enthusiast. He has an armory. He has a section of his home that's basically a vault full of guns. Everything from old flintlock pistols to the MCX-Spear. He loved guns. But he's also a RESPONSIBLE gun owner. Every gun is safety secured, with all ammo locked up in a different room. He does keep a handgun next to his bed for security (in a finger print locked safe). He's got hundreds of guns. And he's fully in support of Canada's gun laws. He's said that if the government said he needed to turn in some of them, he'd have no issue doing so. Because collecting guns is something he enjoys. Shooting guns is something he enjoys (safely at the range). But guns are a tool to kill people. Period. That's what they exist for. Yes, some people can use some for hunting, but those aren't the ones mass shooters buy. Guns won't stop a tyrannical government, because they have the military and will kill you before you even know they're coming. A handgun CAN be used in defense of your home, if you're well trained in it's use (a large number of home deaths involve someone shooting themselves or a loved one with a gun they bought for defense). But the idea that everyone should be armed to the teeth is idiotic.
You want guns, you should be able to prove you can be trusted with them. You should go through thorough background and mental checks, get trained and licensed, and have the gun registered. If you follow the laws, you get your gun. The second you BREAK the laws, you should lose them.
The argument is always "well gun laws just hurt law abiding gun owners." No, they don't. If you're law abiding, the laws don't affect you. If you're a CRIMINAL that wouldn't pass a background check... THEN they affect you.
this.
They dont? Theyre trying to ban ar's specifically on cosmetics. A supressor that protects hearing cost around 500 and takes a year to get. You normally have to apply to your local sheriff for a handgun permit and they can refuse it for any reason. Which usually means race. The feds can ban you from owning firearms because you went to therapy. Or ban a cosmetic on a firearm just because. Or declare because you put a handle on a rifle it is now a banned firearm e en if you take it off..etc etc
And lets face it..the real goal of gun control is to make firearms illegal except in tge hands of upperclass whites and the police
Your friend is a responsible, sane gun owner; unlike 98% of gun owners today.
There are 20,000 state and local laws and 300 federal laws for guns. Gun control doesn't work.
People tried to use the argument that gun regulation wouldn't stop bad guys in Australia when they introduced legislation in 1996, guess what? It did largely stop bad guys because it turns out most criminals obtain guns through residential theft, it's very hard to steal a gun and the ammunition when they are locked in separate gun safes bolted to a concrete slab.
