I remember when I held a knife to myself, and I had to go get an ax to defend myself against the me with a knife. He is so brave. We all can learn from him and be better prepared for the moment when we have guns to our own heads.
I had a similar situation happen to me. After my right hand got an axe to defend itself against my left hand's knife, my left hand got a pistol to defend itself against the axe. My right hand then got a shotgun and it's only escalated from there. Currently my hands are locked in a cold war
His pose is deeply unsettling to my brain. The way he completely ignores the gun to his head makes my head think that the hand was edited in, even though it wasn't. The man is an enigma.
I relate to this. One time, I was holding a pistol to my head, so I went and got a rifle to defend myself. I pointed it at myself, and demanded that I drop the pistol. It worked, but then I realized I had been betrayed by myself and now I was pointing a rifle at me! So, thinking quickly, I grabbed a revolver and pointed it at myself, ordering myself to drop my rifle. It worked, but then I realized that I had agin been betrayed by myself, and was now pointing a revolver at my own head! So, to defend myself, I grabbed a shotgun and pointed it at my head, ordering myself to drop the revolver. It worked, but unfortunately I was betrayed by myself again, and am now currently being held at gunpoint. I ran out of guns to threaten myself with, please send help.

Oh, i get it. It's playing on the whole " you're more likely to shoot yourself " well. Sort of but no. Gun suicides : around 20k per year Gun murders: around 14k per year Lawful reported civilian defensive use : over 500k per year. ( deaths by civilians defensive : around 1000. )
I think it's less of "you're more likely to shoot yourself" and more of "the threats gun owners like to point at when justifying their ownership of a firearm are ones they've made up". Hence why he's defending against violence from himself.
@@rosmarinstimme3646 yes, and 500k times a year sounds justified next to 14k murders. Guns are used legally substantially more than illegally. Between competition, collectors, hunters people shoot millions of rounds a year and never hurt anyone. Having a gun doesn't make you more prone to violence or suicide etc.
I wish the government would come to its senses and make gun ownership mandatory. I think people should be required to carry a sufficient amount of guns so as to make using them impossible. If a person is covered with heavy guns, they certainly won’t be able to fire any of them with any accuracy. Support mandatory maximum gun carrying- if you care at all about this country’s future.
“To protect myself from my own gun, I shot myself in the head. It wasn’t easy, but it had to be done. I don’t think I could have lived [with myself] if I hadn’t done that.”
It sounds like that because your government has a funnel shoved down your throat and is constantly just pumping waste into your body from a tanker truck with a news media sticker on the side of it. Homicides committed with legally owned firearms are nothing compared to homicides committed with illegally owned firearms despite what your blackface wearing leader and his equally hypocritical minions try to tell you.

( deaths by civilians defensive : around 1000. )
dont ever overthink an Onion video
@@Killbayne I know it's humor but humor is used as propaganda too.
I think it's less of "you're more likely to shoot yourself" and more of "the threats gun owners like to point at when justifying their ownership of a firearm are ones they've made up". Hence why he's defending against violence from himself.
@@rosmarinstimme3646 yes, and 500k times a year sounds justified next to 14k murders. Guns are used legally substantially more than illegally. Between competition, collectors, hunters people shoot millions of rounds a year and never hurt anyone. Having a gun doesn't make you more prone to violence or suicide etc.
I wish the government would come to its senses and make gun ownership mandatory. I think people should be required to carry a sufficient amount of guns so as to make using them impossible. If a person is covered with heavy guns, they certainly won’t be able to fire any of them with any accuracy. Support mandatory maximum gun carrying- if you care at all about this country’s future.
Someone call the smiling friends
Guns don't kill people! Uh uuh!
People kill people!
With guns! 🤣🤣🤣
All it takes is a gun guy with a gun to defend himself from a gun guy with a gun.
He brought a rifle in case he's far away from himself. What a genius
It's not cool to put a gun to your head like that. Not even to make a point.
“To protect myself from my own gun, I shot myself in the head. It wasn’t easy, but it had to be done. I don’t think I could have lived [with myself] if I hadn’t done that.”
This is some good satire
The video has so many layers I finally understand why it's called "onion"
Only took me a little over a decade...
This gives old The Onion vibes. Love it
In this capitalist society the hand you never see pointing a gun at your head is the invisible hand. This is why america needs socialism.
As a Canadian, this is what the US gun debate sounds like to me.
I live in the USA and it sounds like this to me too. We need to do something about all our guns and gun nuts...but we never will.
@@DavidLS1 In a decade people will watch this video think how timely it is and then notice the posting date and realize it is an old video. 😒
It sounds like that because your government has a funnel shoved down your throat and is constantly just pumping waste into your body from a tanker truck with a news media sticker on the side of it. Homicides committed with legally owned firearms are nothing compared to homicides committed with illegally owned firearms despite what your blackface wearing leader and his equally hypocritical minions try to tell you.
@@ryuuguu01 You never know, peoples thoughts evolve.
I used to strongly advocate for free state healthcare, till I saw how Canada weaponized it to deny medication to the families of protesters. Some stuff is so wild you can never predict it
meanwhile yall got fuckin justie boy over here who took your guns and can't be voted out
Republicans taking notes to turn this satire into reality
You have not exprienced Damocles until you hear it in the original parabellum.
Like my mother said, there's no problem that can't be solved by buying more guns.
That gun would be much safer in the hands of the government, who would never ever use it against the people they're supposed to represent.
Totally they wouldnt.
Law enforcement and the military are the only ones who need guns. As for your police state...keep your tinfoil hat on at all times and watch out for the lizard people.
I already know RUclips demonetized that thumbnail
Very poor trigger finger discipline😂
just like the average US gun owner
hmm is it just me or is onion getting less funny nowadays. im just not that amused by their new contents, while their old videos can still have me rolling
Agendas come first.
Politicial jokes are easy, hard hitting, but discount everyone else who holds different politics.
New onion sucks
The gun owning leftist in me wants to dislike it,but yall still nailed it
Trust nobody, not even yourself.
Only in America..
This man needs a visit from the Smiling Friends.
Disturbing. This is why guns should only be in the hands of the police state which will never be used to undermine our civil liberties.
Law enforcement and the military are the only ones who need guns. As for your 'police state'...keep your tinfoil hat on at all times and watch out for the lizard people.
This would be funny if it weren’t a terrible representation of the rights arguments on guns. The satire isn’t lost on me but it just further shows how neither side truly understands the other.
The rifle buy. 😂
Omg this is too funny!!! How did this actor keep from laughing his a$$ off?
this had to be the like 300000th take
You can see them breaking character in some of the ONN skits from 2009-2012 or so. Not very much, but enough.
I don’t know any gun owners with just one gun 🤣
I bet his right hand got the idea from watching violent films like "Blazing Saddles."
