12:23 “They shot paint” Hmm, if only there was some sort of semi automatic gun with the capability of shooting paint, maybe even in spherical form, directly instead of shooting a can of paint onto the ground.
The best part about the TV sledgehammer thing is that the TV wasn't even plugged in, the stuff on the screen was added in post. So it amounts to some big guy with a sledgehammer looking pleased at himself for just breaking a random TV he owns that wasn't even showing any objectionable content at the time.
That's all I can ever think when I see that clip. Watching that bag swing around at knee length, thinking: "WTF, did he never have to adjust a backpack in his life?"
@@spuriouslathos2518 it might have been that in the movie they had it at that length and we’re trying to be closer to the movie than actually being intelligent about robbing a bank
@@spuriouslathos2518 it appears he’s forgotten his entire time in the military. One of the first things you need to learn is how to carry a bag without it tripping you.

Paintball guns are liberal pussy shit invented by the democrats to make kids think real guns are lame and parents think theyre too dangerous. Its the soy milk of guns. (Or something, i dont know if righties still bitch about soy like they used to)
Physically unchanged for a hundred million years because it's the perfect killing machine: a half ton of coldblooded fury with the bite force of twenty-thousand newtons and a stomach acid so strong it can dissolve bones and hooves. You really should be armed in that state, it's only fair
its the lies that the media tells you(now i dont think they are ''lies'' like the nra tells you, i just think its the media not understanding terms like ''machine gun'' or ''assault rifle'' and just not knowing laws about guns and buying them
I'm not having a go at you guys, but rather at the conservative establishment: I have to wonder if these guys have any fucking clue what Socialism is. Or Communism, for that matter! Maybe they believe that Socialism produces Gluten and that's why it's The Enemy!!

I had to pause this a few times so I could laugh without missing anything. And I am a handgun owner. I am also a former card-carrying NRA member. While I do still own my gun, I tore up my NRA card about a year after receiving it (roughly 1988). Let me tell you that only when you become a member can you experience the full impact of how incredibly over-the-top this organization is. The literature I got from them in the mail would have been highly entertaining were it not for the unintended consequences brought about by NRA members who took everything they had to say as absolute gospel. To paraphrase: "Make sure that your children are armed when going to the theater, as they will be the only defense against any terrorist threat." And, "Turn shooting into a family outing." Or, "How to remain armed while travelling abroad." Anyway, this is possibly the funniest episode yet. From discovering that the NRA actually has their own version of HSN to that ominous narrator intoning: "...and her name is...Mary Jane." I have never even heard of NRA TV, but I may have to start watching it for laughs because John Oliver cannot produce content fast enough.
I once went through my dad’s NRA magazine with a pen. I pointed out incorrect information, fear mongering, and just general fuckery. Needless to say, my dad was annoyed
ALSO-RAN ! I definitely think the education system and mental health services need dire attention, as both a student and a person who has needed mental help before. I also think shooters names and faces, especially those with agendas such as the El Paso Shooter, names should not be on the news. I agree with you on those points. However, the NRA magazines are full of fear mongering, with statements such as people are coming for your guns, or you need guns to protect from immigrants coming across the border and things like that. I will admit that the left does fear monger about guns. But, like my dad always said, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” but that doesn’t mean that everyone should have access to a gun. There needs to be reform so it’s difficult for people to get ahold of dangerous weapons no matter what their intended use is. Besides, even if killers had to turn to knives or something, it will take them twice as long meaning they won’t be able to hurt as many people.
@ALSO-RAN ! has it really been "part of your identity" for generations? Or was it just a nescesity back in the day and when that disapeared it was turned into "the countries identity" by institutions like the NRA to keep up sales? People generally do not tie their identity to objects by themselves, especially if it concerns deadly objects, public relations usually does that for them.... By that logic atomic bombs and patriot missiles are also part of "the national identity" for generations now, and should be given to any maniac that wants one.
@@baronvonlimbourgh1716 regardless of your politics or position on the gun lobby and increased regulations, it's necessary for Americans to have access to guns
I used to belong to the NRA back when it focused on gun safety and protecting kids. Eddie Eagle was the clever bird who taught kids to keep their hands off guns. Unfortunately, after the NRA's meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, they changed their focus to marketing guns. Eddie Eagle disappeared. Their revenue came from gun manufacturers rather than subscribers to their magazine. I never renewed my subscription.
Sawyer Northrop I despise the NRA for many reasons, but the biggest was when they held a pro-gun rally in Columbine, Colorado only about 2 weeks after the shooting
Honestly. They did so much character/worldbuilding in that 8 minute short released in 2015 that if they released a full length TV series of Eddie Eagle telling me to not touch guns that appear under suspicious circumstances, I’d watch it unironically. F in the chat for Eddie Eagle.
Don't you just love when the video you made is beautifully dated that the irony hits you in the face, first NRATV goes the way of Quibi, and now the NRA itself has filed for bankruptcy
I have to come back and watch old episodes at times. The ending monologues in certain episodes are hilarious-yet...convey a serious issue with such ferocity and clarity. John Oliver has become a master at his craft at this point. And it’s a powerful thing to see.
@Sma 556 just because it isn't currently on the news doesn't mean it's forgotten. The border detention centers are still being fought at the local level state wide. And calls for policy changes on the detainment conditions are still strong.
Sma 556 just because the vast majority of the stories are negative doesn’t mean it’s fake, if trump is advocating war crimes (like bombing in civilian areas, torturing families of soldiers and terrorists, as well as others), the stories about it will sound pretty negative and that would be truthful
@@TheNinthGeneration1 What we mean is that just because the news isn't talking about certain issues doesnt mean people aren't doing anything about them. Like my example we are fighting the horrible treatment of immigrants who try to escape poverty and corruption. And the media is critical of Trump not because they want to He simply doesn't stop causing massive damage to our institutions and relationships with one another.
NRA TV is gone. In the distance, a distinct laugh that sounds like a bark can be heard...some say the Lake Dog himself caused the NRA's troubles when they didn't give him- his customary treat when one of their directors passed by the lake.
The idea of smashing a TV with a sledgehammer rather than, i dunno say TURNING IT OFF, is not only the most American thing I've ever seen, but ironically the best visual representation for the argument of owning a semi-automatic assault rifle to "defend" yourself
Ignoring for the moment that assault rifles by definition are selective fire rather than simply semi-automatic, I'm not aware of any "off switch" for criminals... with the closest thing being lethal force.
@@Nanofuture87 Lol it was just a joke my man (albeit not a very good one). Sorry I don't know a lot about guns, we don't use them in the UK. My comparison was in the idea of using an assault rifle to defend yourself, as opposed to a pistol, a knife, a bat etc. Now I'm sure you have stats to prove that assault rifles are less deadly than the aforementioned options, in which case, I apologise if I was wrong, it was not at all my intention to misinform or offend you.
@@jkotheprodigy89 just an FYI term you were looking for was "assualt weapon" one would reasonably intuit that an assualt rifle is an audit weapon but they're not
In my opinion, just because they'e a large consumer group. If you get a passionate group of people whose initials are AH and they're disturbingly excited about that, and you can convince a company that they'll get customers if you put them in your magazine, they can incentivize your readers and barter with you by giving you a discount which you will advertise on the "Our initials are AH" magazine. Products don't cost what they cost to make, there's revenue on top of that AND there's a safety net in case they don't sell. If I make 100k items, maybe 80k will sell, in which case 80k products should cost enough to cover the production cost of 100k. If I'm guaranteed that all 100k will sell, I can cut the premium on them. I don't know much about the NRAs, but as a secular Israeli I know that ultraorthodox supermarkets can be much cheaper because they're a captive audience and they have large families so they get discounts on products in bulk. Same principle, different (controversial) group.
Because the NRA is a heavy lobbyist, typically for conservative policies. These large companies like apple and amazon don't want to pay taxes, they also spend millions in lobbying. So they give members a discount to get in good with the NRA who in turn promotes conservatism and the Republican party, who keep them from having to actually pay their taxes, keep the wages low and the requirements for benefits low so that these companies can make more money at the expense of everyone else.
Phil Lewis he was trying to achieve the same symbolism as the Apple Macintosh commercial. Trying to say that media is oppressive. But the message completely falls flat if the only person watching it is currently watching there shitty programming. The message worked for Apple because they had a theater of people watching the screen and the one person set them free with a sledge hammer. If anything this is just telling people to smash there TV if they don't like what there watching. The NRA is chock full of morons so I am not surprised that they don't understand symbolism.
@@brodiekeown4494 Have you ever stopped and considered that if in your society owning a deadly firearm is a must for personal safety, then maybe, just maybe, your society is utterly fucked?
"Death is evil, they believe, and so the purveyor of evil must also be evil." So the purveyor of death, right? We call those people murderers. And murderers are considered evil, so yeah.

‘Because Death is an undeniable fuel of life.’ Sounds like a villain from a Poundland Fantasy Novel. It’s that ‘look at me, I’m profound’ language that anyone who has read an art student’s first novella will be used to.
+Nick Ruocco Your wish is my command. This is the story the man wanted to tell (I think.) Lake Dog is a dog that lives in a lake. One day, a patriotic American labrador named 'Murry Mc.Kah, was eating a cheeseburger with extra beef, when a bunch of vets came running in. "That dog is obese!", they screamed. "He looks like he's been fed American cheeseburgers and has been drinking Coca Cola! And he's laying around loaded guns in his doggy bed. He needs help!" But the last thing that 'Murry needed was a large healthcare-bill, so he barked loudly, grabbed his guns, unleashed himself ánd his anger upon the vets and then fleed the crime scéne. They weren't going to take his tempature ór his guns. Stupid vets. He went over to a beach, where he gathered sticks. (as he'd always done, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his-) When there were enough sticks, he build a raft, got on it and decided he'd flee from the corrupt government, untill the NRA had taken over the White House. He prepared himself for a ruff time, but over the course of a couple of days, he found that many people came over to give him food. He'd use the weapons to paddle around the beaches and soon, he became so used to his new life, that whenever people tried petting him, he'd bark and aim a gun, afraid they'd take this new lifestyle away from him. Ofcourse it got lonely as well, at times. But then, Murry would lay down on his back (play 'dead' like the vets were still doing) and play a game he called 'Shooting stars." One day, a large wave brought him into a creek, and that water went into a lake. But Murry didn't mind. It was a silent lake...só silent that he could hear his own whispering breath, echo around right before he fell asleep at night. But that's how he liked it. Nobody around, nobody hostile. No vets and no people. Just some old raft and the occassional sound of his own gunfire. Although after a while, the silence and darkness got to him. The sound of the echo's of the gunfire gave him chills. It kept up the temporary illusion that there was anóther gun around. Sometimes, when the water made a wave or a fish moved underneath the raft, the dog would jump up and empty an entire automatic magazine, just to calm himself down again. Some legends say, the lake dog is still there, drifting around at night, checking évery stone, évery tree. Sniffing for even the lightest scent of another human or animal. And if he finds them, he does't stop untill the body isn't recognizable anymore. Only then, Lake Dog can bring himself to calm down again.
Well, GTA5 is a game that parodies much of what America does, so the exaggeration maybe worrisome... but peanuts compared to the gun-fetishizing and fear inducing NRATV does.
It would be really helpful for that Love at First Shot painting segment if there already existed a non-lethal gun that fires small ball-like things that create multi-colored paint splotches when the plastic casing breaks open...
Don't worry. No one is ever killed by a gun, they mere use the "light puff of happiness" to guide them to that "happy place in the sky". See? Gun Deaths send everyone to THE MOST WONDERFUL DREAM!
yeah i can see the satisfaction one can get from building/shooting guns as a hobby, it's just that when she said "puff of happiness" i got the shivers. since i can just picture the same thing she said, coming out of a serial killer or murder's mouth and it would fit like a glove.
“Because death is an undeniable fuel of life” sounds like something you’d hear from a Batman villain. I can hear the Joker voiced by Mark Hamill saying that.
It is a fact of life: Anything you eat.. vegetables and fruits included , is either dead or dying while you eat it . Simple reality . It seems like you liberals have an hard time confronting reality.
"dead stars" wtf? when were stars alive? and don't tell me that old lady with her house full of dead gazelles and other animals decorating the walls did all that to eat or fuel life. Don't mix hobbies with nature, only humans have hobbies, animals never kill for fun. And yes hunting is an ancient human instinct for survival but again our ancestors hunted solely for food and clothes and other shit, real necessities. This is a multibillion business endangered by logic and common sense, that is also simple reality that some people struggle so much to accept.
The denotative and connotative definitions of Death, Fuel and Life are over complicating things. What I understood from that statement, because shooters seemingly want to become infamous, was "Death makes you feel alive". The tone doesn't help either. Simply written it makes sense. Except to vegans I guess.
Zetsubou Risuikun When were stars alive.. haha when the sun rises tomorrow look up and see one not yet dead. As for whatever point you believe that you’re making. There’s plenty of places in the United States where people still rely on hunting as their primary source of food.
"How stupid do you think we are?" Stupid, to a degree that can not be expressed by qualitative or quantitative measures, and one that can't properly be researched due to a government funding shortage caused by diverting funds to the military.
Tsjiha23 pssst.... This is the exact point they were making. The majority of the world is dependent on death to grow. The fact that you think that is weird shows how disconnected from nature you are.
Darcy Robbs lets close all hospital then. Just fuck it, we are gonna die anyway, the world needs it right? The Police? No more, bitches. Firefighters? Who cares. It's purge day everyday
Just because some death is unavoidable doesn't mean we have to cause further death for our own amusement or convenience. That's the point. Nobody said any different.
Darcy robbs But do we need to hunt down wild animals tho? There's already farms that industrialized death for us to be able to eat and grow. We are already doing enough damage to the biodiversity by destroying natural habitats and poluting. Why would we also need to go kill creatures that are part of an already damaged ecosystem? Don't get on your high horse and pretend you hunt for the sake of "fueling life". You do it because you like to kill stuff. You do it for your selfish little enjoyment. Nothing more. Don't pretend otherwise.
I like the guy who wants to make fun of the "socialist tears" but is so upset and offended by the first amendment he has to destroy things just to feel like a man again.
Basically people who think their right wing commenting on places Facebook, RUclips, and the DailyWire's comment section. I also wonder if Kyle Kulinski or David Pakman were to speak at a conservative university if the students will protest them or try and get them barred from speaking...
Hey, next you are going to have a problem with Elivis, who was one of the first to bring the gun AND TV together. And is it weird? As apposed to random violence of groups like Antifa, who are admitted socialists, breaking whatever is near their protests that turns into a riot? I suggest I would prefer people break their own things vs. someone else things, and breaking the TV is kinda his first amendment statement, you could even call that art. Personally, I would prefer to give him a smaller TV I own and let him kill that while I take his..... But hell, if he enjoys it, I am sure some TV company will be happy to keep selling him TVs to destroy.
Giveme TheDaily BLM! ANTIFA! THE DEMOCRATS! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MASS SHOOTINGS AND NRA! WE HAVE OUR SCAPEGOATS! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE NAZIS RUNNING PEOPLE OVER IN CARS LIKE ISIS! LALALALALA
KingOfMadCows Because not even the NRA is so stupid to actually believe that violence in movies makes anyone do violent stuff. They are just hypocrits and are using it as a scapegoat when they are under pressure.
no one else noticed that the NRA man in the commercial didn't even use a gun to destroy that TV? I thought they loved using guns for everything lol. it's not the national sledgehammer association
yes but if you really think about it, interviews, speaches and news stories where on tv so he would have shot at images of actual people. imagine the legal clusterfuck of filming yourself shooting at a black politician or a journalist for example. too much trouble and the message was loud and clear using the hammer.
Seeing the whole gun accessories section made me yell "LOOK, I GET IT! YOU HAVE A GUN! DON'T MAKE IT MORE APPARENT THAN IT ALREADY IS!" Also, watching those NRA TV clips reminds me of Ammu-nation commercials from GTA
"Come to AmmuNation on MILITIA MONDAYS and exercise your 2nd amendment rights with a 10% discount on all ARMOUR PIERCING BULLETS. We're the only store that let's you try before you buy it. Need anti tank missiles? We got 'em!" I don't remember more :D But militia mondays always cracked me up.

@@josephschultz3301 If you use marijuana and own guns it's best to not talk about one or the other since even a responsible infrequent user is not technically supposed to own a firearm.

And what about THOSE guns? How can we ensure that the guns' guns would be safe from the guns? Or that the guns wouldn't just use their guns against other guns? #StopGunonGunViolence
Cody Miller but isn't irresponsibility the main issue here? The government is irresponsible with the gun laws and types of guns allowed to be sold, the state/stores are irresponsible for not requiring mental health exams prior to getting a gun and not having a mandatory waiting period before obtaining a gun, and the parents are irresponsible for not locking up the gun and/or teaching about gun safety to kids or other adults. Or getting their kids/adults getting themselves the mental health care they need, because the government is irresponsible with health care.

I've seen and heard more terrible things to be sure, but usually it's a terrible act of violence proceeded by long winded speech, either live or posted online. There was something uniquely shocking about that one line.
Steve Gracy I live in the real world just fine, thank you. Me finding this disturbing has absolutely no impact on my ability to be a functioning member of society.
Yeah. I think it's lost on people that these weapons have been used to intentionally murder other humans. Framing it like that (puff of happiness) loses respect for the kind of danger a firearm can bring into any given situation. It's like telling a kid driving a car is like puttering around in little go kart, it's not, it's a one ton hunk of speeding metal capable of incapacitating any small bit of biological flesh that makes contact with it.
AceTriggerz Exactly, I have no problem with gun hobbyist or hunters, etc, but you should have respect for the literal killing machine you have in your hands, the thing specifically designed to be dangerous. "Puff of happiness" should be reserved for things like rabbits and baby owls.
"Armed and fabulous"? Isn't that the sequel to the first Miss congeniality movie?? ' She's beauty and she's grace, she'll stick a gun a gun in your face'
I really, REALLY like guns. I'm a big gun fella. But that "light puff of happiness" scene severely nauseates me. That's some seriously pathological shit. Not good. Not ok.
Jordan Ross: it's not about how shooting at a range is fun and can make people happy, i'm somewhat gun-averse(it's mostly sensory, i hate sharp noises like that) and can see the fun in a shooting range! it's about how underplayed the possible dangers of the guns are. calling a gunshot a 'light poof of happiness' is like calling a tank a 'big fun go-kart'. it just seems so.. disconcerting. that thing can very easily kill people, man. don't refer to it like that. it's weird.
Becca Olson you used the worst example, tanks are awesome and i will now refer to them as "big fun go-karts". Oh so what, guns can kill people but they're still sweet. Just because something can do a lot of damage doesnt mean its evil or that we should be scared of it.
listen... i get what you're saying but i think you're not quite catching my drift. guns and tanks are cool! but speaking of them in such lighthearted, harmless terms is. Nicht Gut. it's not that we should be terrified of them, it's just that maybe we should speak of them in terms that acknowledge that huh! this thing can just about instantly kill a person! speaking about a gun, or anything dangerous, like... that... just gives off a sense of a complete disregard for the power the thing has. fuck, i got another one: imagine if everyone at a nuclear plant and the city surrounding it began to refer to an atom bomb as a 'party popper'. pretty fucking unnerving considering that if there was an accident most if not all of the people in that town could die. if language like that is used a lot, it could possibly lead to carelessness around guns, which could make possibly deadly accidents more frequent. words are powerful, dude. especially with exposure over time.
+Slash Sorry, maybe I'm confusing something here...must be because I'm Dutch... Are you suggesting they're teaching safety-with-guns? The NRA? Which is why they try to re-en-act "cool" movieshots? For safety? I'd say that life without guns is more safe. I live in the Netherlands, I haven't seen the refugee-rape-palooza's that people in America suggested. Or the no-go-zones or the politicians set on fire. I'm just sitting here, with my window open, eating my sprinkles-sammich. No one has a gun, so I don't have to worry about being shot. You should visit.
Widdekuu91 the NRA does in fact teach and advocate for gun safety. The reenactments show, I'm not sure if it shows him actually taking any shots or even if the gun is loaded. I would assume it wouldn't be. If it is, he's being stupid. I just find it odd that for all the things to nitpick the NRA about here, and there are quite a few, there's people choosing to try to mock them for... actually being safe and responsible with their gun use in that situation. As for visiting a different country, can't really afford it. And if I could, I'd instead save that money for moving to a different state than the one I live in, one that's a better environment for me. I don't really have much disposable income.
I've not heard one DEMOCRAT say anything about taking your guns away. They're wanting better background checks,raising the age limit and extending the waiting period. What the hell is wrong with that???
Exactly, personally I would LOVE if guns weren't allowed, though it's not exactly easy to get that passed. I'm not a democrat. I guess if you gave me only two options, I align more with the democratic party than the republican party, but politics are much more nuanced than that. Democrats aren't like the woke socialist vegan hippie I am, much less those that are actually politicians.

it truly is.
I had to pause this a few times so I could laugh without missing anything. And I am a handgun owner. I am also a former card-carrying NRA member. While I do still own my gun, I tore up my NRA card about a year after receiving it (roughly 1988). Let me tell you that only when you become a member can you experience the full impact of how incredibly over-the-top this organization is. The literature I got from them in the mail would have been highly entertaining were it not for the unintended consequences brought about by NRA members who took everything they had to say as absolute gospel. To paraphrase: "Make sure that your children are armed when going to the theater, as they will be the only defense against any terrorist threat." And, "Turn shooting into a family outing." Or, "How to remain armed while travelling abroad."
Anyway, this is possibly the funniest episode yet. From discovering that the NRA actually has their own version of HSN to that ominous narrator intoning: "...and her name is...Mary Jane." I have never even heard of NRA TV, but I may have to start watching it for laughs because John Oliver cannot produce content fast enough.
Seems it stopped broadcasing a while back.
I once went through my dad’s NRA magazine with a pen. I pointed out incorrect information, fear mongering, and just general fuckery. Needless to say, my dad was annoyed
ALSO-RAN ! I definitely think the education system and mental health services need dire attention, as both a student and a person who has needed mental help before. I also think shooters names and faces, especially those with agendas such as the El Paso Shooter, names should not be on the news. I agree with you on those points.
However, the NRA magazines are full of fear mongering, with statements such as people are coming for your guns, or you need guns to protect from immigrants coming across the border and things like that. I will admit that the left does fear monger about guns. But, like my dad always said, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” but that doesn’t mean that everyone should have access to a gun. There needs to be reform so it’s difficult for people to get ahold of dangerous weapons no matter what their intended use is. Besides, even if killers had to turn to knives or something, it will take them twice as long meaning they won’t be able to hurt as many people.
@ALSO-RAN ! has it really been "part of your identity" for generations?
Or was it just a nescesity back in the day and when that disapeared it was turned into "the countries identity" by institutions like the NRA to keep up sales?
People generally do not tie their identity to objects by themselves, especially if it concerns deadly objects, public relations usually does that for them....
By that logic atomic bombs and patriot missiles are also part of "the national identity" for generations now, and should be given to any maniac that wants one.
@@baronvonlimbourgh1716 regardless of your politics or position on the gun lobby and increased regulations, it's necessary for Americans to have access to guns
I used to belong to the NRA back when it focused on gun safety and protecting kids. Eddie Eagle was the clever bird who taught kids to keep their hands off guns. Unfortunately, after the NRA's meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, they changed their focus to marketing guns. Eddie Eagle disappeared. Their revenue came from gun manufacturers rather than subscribers to their magazine. I never renewed my subscription.
If you're a responsible gun owner you should also despise the NRA
Sawyer Northrop I despise the NRA for many reasons, but the biggest was when they held a pro-gun rally in Columbine, Colorado only about 2 weeks after the shooting
@@RyanKhieu yup they did that
@@alezarde211 holy fucking shit! Did they not think that would be a bit tone deaf?!
Honestly. They did so much character/worldbuilding in that 8 minute short released in 2015 that if they released a full length TV series of Eddie Eagle telling me to not touch guns that appear under suspicious circumstances, I’d watch it unironically. F in the chat for Eddie Eagle.
“Love at first shot” is the name of a documentary on serial killers who are also into necrophilia.
If that is true, then that is thrice as disturbing as the show of the same name.
I thought the name of that documentary was "Bowling for Columbine".
Issei Sagawa's favorite documentary I guess
I would definately watch that.
Or, conversely, a reality show about heroin addicts trying to find true love.
Don't you just love when the video you made is beautifully dated that the irony hits you in the face, first NRATV goes the way of Quibi, and now the NRA itself has filed for bankruptcy

The idea of smashing a TV with a sledgehammer rather than, i dunno say TURNING IT OFF, is not only the most American thing I've ever seen, but ironically the best visual representation for the argument of owning a semi-automatic assault rifle to "defend" yourself
Ignoring for the moment that assault rifles by definition are selective fire rather than simply semi-automatic, I'm not aware of any "off switch" for criminals... with the closest thing being lethal force.
@@Nanofuture87 Lol it was just a joke my man (albeit not a very good one). Sorry I don't know a lot about guns, we don't use them in the UK. My comparison was in the idea of using an assault rifle to defend yourself, as opposed to a pistol, a knife, a bat etc. Now I'm sure you have stats to prove that assault rifles are less deadly than the aforementioned options, in which case, I apologise if I was wrong, it was not at all my intention to misinform or offend you.

why do NRA members get any discounts on anything other than guns and gun accessories?
I’m Hank Hill, and I sell gun and gun accessories. Eyup.
Propane and propane accessories as well.
In my opinion, just because they'e a large consumer group. If you get a passionate group of people whose initials are AH and they're disturbingly excited about that, and you can convince a company that they'll get customers if you put them in your magazine, they can incentivize your readers and barter with you by giving you a discount which you will advertise on the "Our initials are AH" magazine.
Products don't cost what they cost to make, there's revenue on top of that AND there's a safety net in case they don't sell. If I make 100k items, maybe 80k will sell, in which case 80k products should cost enough to cover the production cost of 100k. If I'm guaranteed that all 100k will sell, I can cut the premium on them.
I don't know much about the NRAs, but as a secular Israeli I know that ultraorthodox supermarkets can be much cheaper because they're a captive audience and they have large families so they get discounts on products in bulk. Same principle, different (controversial) group.
Because those business want to attract the dollars of NRA members.
Because the NRA is a heavy lobbyist, typically for conservative policies. These large companies like apple and amazon don't want to pay taxes, they also spend millions in lobbying. So they give members a discount to get in good with the NRA who in turn promotes conservatism and the Republican party, who keep them from having to actually pay their taxes, keep the wages low and the requirements for benefits low so that these companies can make more money at the expense of everyone else.
"The world is scary and dangerous. Therefore the idea of people selling bags meant to hide guns in them makes me happy and excited."

Phil Lewis Not enough budget
Perhaps they are bringing a new arms platform to market. The Glock 85 Sledge Hammer. With internal safeties.
Phil Lewis he was trying to achieve the same symbolism as the Apple Macintosh commercial. Trying to say that media is oppressive. But the message completely falls flat if the only person watching it is currently watching there shitty programming. The message worked for Apple because they had a theater of people watching the screen and the one person set them free with a sledge hammer. If anything this is just telling people to smash there TV if they don't like what there watching. The NRA is chock full of morons so I am not surprised that they don't understand symbolism.
"Girl, you don't even need a gun, because people are going to die when they see that bag!"

I need to know lake dog’s backstory.
+Nick Ruocco
Your wish is my command. This is the story the man wanted to tell (I think.)
Lake Dog is a dog that lives in a lake.
One day, a patriotic American labrador named 'Murry Mc.Kah, was eating a cheeseburger with extra beef, when a bunch of vets came running in.
"That dog is obese!", they screamed. "He looks like he's been fed American cheeseburgers and has been drinking Coca Cola! And he's laying around loaded guns in his doggy bed. He needs help!"
But the last thing that 'Murry needed was a large healthcare-bill, so he barked loudly, grabbed his guns, unleashed himself ánd his anger upon the vets and then fleed the crime scéne. They weren't going to take his tempature ór his guns. Stupid vets.
He went over to a beach, where he gathered sticks. (as he'd always done, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his-)
When there were enough sticks, he build a raft, got on it and decided he'd flee from the corrupt government, untill the NRA had taken over the White House.
He prepared himself for a ruff time, but over the course of a couple of days, he found that many people came over to give him food. He'd use the weapons to paddle around the beaches and soon, he became so used to his new life, that whenever people tried petting him, he'd bark and aim a gun, afraid they'd take this new lifestyle away from him.
Ofcourse it got lonely as well, at times. But then, Murry would lay down on his back (play 'dead' like the vets were still doing) and play a game he called 'Shooting stars."
One day, a large wave brought him into a creek, and that water went into a lake. But Murry didn't mind. It was a silent lake...só silent that he could hear his own whispering breath, echo around right before he fell asleep at night.
But that's how he liked it. Nobody around, nobody hostile. No vets and no people. Just some old raft and the occassional sound of his own gunfire.
Although after a while, the silence and darkness got to him.
The sound of the echo's of the gunfire gave him chills. It kept up the temporary illusion that there was anóther gun around.
Sometimes, when the water made a wave or a fish moved underneath the raft, the dog would jump up and empty an entire automatic magazine, just to calm himself down again.
Some legends say, the lake dog is still there, drifting around at night, checking évery stone, évery tree. Sniffing for even the lightest scent of another human or animal. And if he finds them, he does't stop untill the body isn't recognizable anymore. Only then, Lake Dog can bring himself to calm down again.
No you don't

“Because death is an undeniable fuel of life” sounds like something you’d hear from a Batman villain. I can hear the Joker voiced by Mark Hamill saying that.
It is a fact of life:
Anything you eat.. vegetables and fruits included , is either dead or dying while you eat it .
Simple reality .
It seems like you liberals have an hard time confronting reality.

"dead stars" wtf? when were stars alive? and don't tell me that old lady with her house full of dead gazelles and other animals decorating the walls did all that to eat or fuel life. Don't mix hobbies with nature, only humans have hobbies, animals never kill for fun. And yes hunting is an ancient human instinct for survival but again our ancestors hunted solely for food and clothes and other shit, real necessities. This is a multibillion business endangered by logic and common sense, that is also simple reality that some people struggle so much to accept.
The denotative and connotative definitions of Death, Fuel and Life are over complicating things. What I understood from that statement, because shooters seemingly want to become infamous, was "Death makes you feel alive". The tone doesn't help either. Simply written it makes sense. Except to vegans I guess.
Zetsubou Risuikun When were stars alive.. haha when the sun rises tomorrow look up and see one not yet dead. As for whatever point you believe that you’re making. There’s plenty of places in the United States where people still rely on hunting as their primary source of food.

Darcy robbs But do we need to hunt down wild animals tho? There's already farms that industrialized death for us to be able to eat and grow. We are already doing enough damage to the biodiversity by destroying natural habitats and poluting. Why would we also need to go kill creatures that are part of an already damaged ecosystem?
Don't get on your high horse and pretend you hunt for the sake of "fueling life". You do it because you like to kill stuff. You do it for your selfish little enjoyment. Nothing more. Don't pretend otherwise.

That painting segment is too cringeworthy. I'm sitting here alone in my room with no one to see this but I'm still dying of embarrassment.
aww but its so cute, their spawn will see a blood stain that we shot on a canvas! lmao
I mean could they not get a shot gun? If you're going to paint with guns you need to get that splatter bot this prissy little dribble!
I'm sitting here wondering why they didn't just use paint ball guns.
It’s also a terrible waste of ammunition.
That painting was so ugly, it would make Picasso blush.

3:04 John Oliver doing a southern accent is fucking hilarious
Seeing the whole gun accessories section made me yell "LOOK, I GET IT! YOU HAVE A GUN! DON'T MAKE IT MORE APPARENT THAN IT ALREADY IS!"
Also, watching those NRA TV clips reminds me of Ammu-nation commercials from GTA
"Come to AmmuNation on MILITIA MONDAYS and exercise your 2nd amendment rights with a 10% discount on all ARMOUR PIERCING BULLETS. We're the only store that let's you try before you buy it. Need anti tank missiles? We got 'em!" I don't remember more :D But militia mondays always cracked me up.
But the question is, have you been whooping Liberal pinkos since 1978?
Did you literally shake?
Sometimes I wonder if real life is the video game and GTA is reality
The reaction John had to it too was funny. Like a small girl getting excited about her favourite barbies or to go shopping.
Never seen it. Its wild that people fall for their fear mongering

NRA "We only have enough money in the budget to smash a 32" TV. Make it count."
The editors deciding to end the episode with the sledgehammer scene was excellent
NRATV is how I imagined American Television looks like, when I was a kid.
E Marci it’s like how American tv would be in, in like tropic thunder and you’d laugh
It's not too far off.
NRATV has better trigger and muzzle control than the rest of American TV.
NRATV actually reminds me of the in-game radio when playing GTA..
See? Caricatures CAN sometimes be real!
My jaw was actually wide open almost the entire time. Holy shit, I can't believe that was real
Bob Builder Not too hard to believe
Only in America. And I thank God that my country doesn't have anything even remotely like the NRA. But then again my culture isn't obsessed with guns.
I find it ironic really.
I when I argue against guns, I always go with the James Bond analogy (why he is always dealing with so many Shadow Organizations)
But in our case, our Shadow Organization in america has no JB to keep it in check, and is out in the fucking Opening with its dick flapping in the wind.
And I am just supposed to pretend like I don't see it.
Some people require propaganda that's direct. Nuance goes over their heads.
Same. Holy shit. Glad I'm not an American.
NRATV- “our greatest weapon is truth....unless you say something that we don’t like or hurts our feelings, then we will smash our own property to teach you a lesson!”.
I only know one political group that would do that - The leftists.
David H That's because you're too stubborn to get to know the Alt-Right.
ZonalJump I have been a leftists just 2 years ago. Not only do i know the Alt-Right i would consider myself a supporter.
David H
Time to get a job, kid!
David H it’s almost as if both sides have retarted people in it🤔
Anyone else outside of the US feeling like they're watching something coming from an alien civilization?!
For sure.
Those of us inside the U.S do to I assure you
John's face every time he says "HOLY SHIT!" XD
I'd greatly appreciate it if some John Oliver fans who like late 70s soft rock/groove would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire and HEART TO HEART by Kenny Loggins & Michael McDonald on my channel in tribute to the masters. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and keep on grooving.
"And her name is marijuana. "
NRA TV, reminding every pothead watching to hit the bong again. 😂
Hit the bong like I hit my wife 😎😎😎
I think they're legitimately unaware that a lot of gun enthusiasts are potheads. It's breathtaking in how absolutely oblivious it is.
@@josephschultz3301 If you use marijuana and own guns it's best to not talk about one or the other since even a responsible infrequent user is not technically supposed to own a firearm. I don't see the NRA fighting to change that though. In fact they eswentially said Philando Castille deserved to be shot because he was in possession of marijuana with the pistol he he had the proper authorization to carry.
Bong Hits For The NRA
@@CIARUNSITE That's neither here nor there. There's plenty of people out there that support groups and policies that still hold them, the supporters, in contempt in one sort of way or another.
Regardless, it's irrelevant. Plenty of potheads are NRA supporters. They smoke pot, sure, but they love their guns. It's not a hard concept to wrap your head around.
There is so much gold here. SNL should do an entire segment just satirising NRA TV.
aBoogivogi I second that
aBoogivogi / Kenneth Heim:; I THIRD IT, MOTION CARRIES now one of us needs to contact SNL.
aBoogivogi
Yeah, but I doubt they could do it nearly as well.
It would be hard to top the origional! Somewhat like our current Commander and Chief! ;) Sometimes absurdity can be taken too far!
SNL is super cringy, lets just leave it at this
This is obscene. To a European, those commercials look like an episode of black mirror.

Don't give them ideas
And what about THOSE guns? How can we ensure that the guns' guns would be safe from the guns? Or that the guns wouldn't just use their guns against other guns? #StopGunonGunViolence
#ToolLivesMatter
I don't feel like painting a gun and making it look like a colorful toy is a good idea...
Mommy, I found this in the basement! Is it a--
*BANG*
Cody Miller I would say that making the gun such a bright color would add to the irresponsibility no?
Cody Miller but isn't irresponsibility the main issue here? The government is irresponsible with the gun laws and types of guns allowed to be sold, the state/stores are irresponsible for not requiring mental health exams prior to getting a gun and not having a mandatory waiting period before obtaining a gun, and the parents are irresponsible for not locking up the gun and/or teaching about gun safety to kids or other adults. Or getting their kids/adults getting themselves the mental health care they need, because the government is irresponsible with health care.
No shit Sherlock.

Colourful pills and potions and washing-detergents have been changed to duller colours as well, so that children don't eat them and die.
Pills used to be all kinds of colours, now they are just clearly marked on the bottle/strip and primarily white, grey and blue.

Trump's motto for fighting pandemic: "Death is an unavoidable fuel for life"
"If you get the worman, you get the family"...followed by "nice light poof of happiness" - someone has definitely slipped some LSD into my coffee tonight...
I think someone slipped them LSD
"puff of happiness" actually disturbed me to my core. I haven't been this disturbed by a single quote since I first discovered the NRA.
I've seen and heard more terrible things to be sure, but usually it's a terrible act of violence proceeded by long winded speech, either live or posted online. There was something uniquely shocking about that one line.
Steve Gracy I live in the real world just fine, thank you. Me finding this disturbing has absolutely no impact on my ability to be a functioning member of society.
Steve Gracy Touche, the irony isn't lost on me. However, you prompted this conversation, which takes very little time out of our days.
Yeah. I think it's lost on people that these weapons have been used to intentionally murder other humans. Framing it like that (puff of happiness) loses respect for the kind of danger a firearm can bring into any given situation. It's like telling a kid driving a car is like puttering around in little go kart, it's not, it's a one ton hunk of speeding metal capable of incapacitating any small bit of biological flesh that makes contact with it.
AceTriggerz Exactly, I have no problem with gun hobbyist or hunters, etc, but you should have respect for the literal killing machine you have in your hands, the thing specifically designed to be dangerous. "Puff of happiness" should be reserved for things like rabbits and baby owls.
Thanks for spending the time to create and share this content
"Armed and fabulous"? Isn't that the sequel to the first Miss congeniality movie?? ' She's beauty and she's grace, she'll stick a gun a gun in your face'
I really, REALLY like guns. I'm a big gun fella. But that "light puff of happiness" scene severely nauseates me. That's some seriously pathological shit. Not good. Not ok.
Sgt Baker i disagree, shooting at the range truely makes me happy
Jordan Ross: it's not about how shooting at a range is fun and can make people happy, i'm somewhat gun-averse(it's mostly sensory, i hate sharp noises like that) and can see the fun in a shooting range! it's about how underplayed the possible dangers of the guns are. calling a gunshot a 'light poof of happiness' is like calling a tank a 'big fun go-kart'. it just seems so.. disconcerting. that thing can very easily kill people, man. don't refer to it like that. it's weird.
Becca Olson you used the worst example, tanks are awesome and i will now refer to them as "big fun go-karts". Oh so what, guns can kill people but they're still sweet. Just because something can do a lot of damage doesnt mean its evil or that we should be scared of it.
listen... i get what you're saying but i think you're not quite catching my drift. guns and tanks are cool! but speaking of them in such lighthearted, harmless terms is. Nicht Gut. it's not that we should be terrified of them, it's just that maybe we should speak of them in terms that acknowledge that huh! this thing can just about instantly kill a person!
speaking about a gun, or anything dangerous, like... that... just gives off a sense of a complete disregard for the power the thing has.
fuck, i got another one: imagine if everyone at a nuclear plant and the city surrounding it began to refer to an atom bomb as a 'party popper'. pretty fucking unnerving considering that if there was an accident most if not all of the people in that town could die.
if language like that is used a lot, it could possibly lead to carelessness around guns, which could make possibly deadly accidents more frequent.
words are powerful, dude. especially with exposure over time.
Becca Olson Exactly, lol. Imagine if we started referring to poisonous gas as "happy smoke" I'd be a bit unnerved too.
11:47 - why can't the pregnant Natalie go out to the gun range? Are guns dangerous, or something?
They couldn't figure out a way to get earplugs in that wasn't sexual harassment.
Tfw you take the piss out on someone for using the kind of safety their organisation teaches
+Slash
Sorry, maybe I'm confusing something here...must be because I'm Dutch...
Are you suggesting they're teaching safety-with-guns? The NRA?
Which is why they try to re-en-act "cool" movieshots? For safety?
I'd say that life without guns is more safe. I live in the Netherlands, I haven't seen the refugee-rape-palooza's that people in America suggested. Or the no-go-zones or the politicians set on fire.
I'm just sitting here, with my window open, eating my sprinkles-sammich. No one has a gun, so I don't have to worry about being shot.
You should visit.
That. Was a beautiful statement you just made.
Widdekuu91 the NRA does in fact teach and advocate for gun safety. The reenactments show, I'm not sure if it shows him actually taking any shots or even if the gun is loaded. I would assume it wouldn't be. If it is, he's being stupid. I just find it odd that for all the things to nitpick the NRA about here, and there are quite a few, there's people choosing to try to mock them for... actually being safe and responsible with their gun use in that situation.
As for visiting a different country, can't really afford it. And if I could, I'd instead save that money for moving to a different state than the one I live in, one that's a better environment for me. I don't really have much disposable income.
I've not heard one DEMOCRAT say anything about taking your guns away. They're wanting better background checks,raising the age limit and extending the waiting period. What the hell is wrong with that???
Exactly, personally I would LOVE if guns weren't allowed, though it's not exactly easy to get that passed. I'm not a democrat. I guess if you gave me only two options, I align more with the democratic party than the republican party, but politics are much more nuanced than that. Democrats aren't like the woke socialist vegan hippie I am, much less those that are actually politicians.
@@lightningqueen1145I know it would probably be better if guns weren’t around, but you should know that is never ever going to happen in America. Sorry to break it to you
Whats funny
Trump IS the only one who explicitly said gun should be confiscated until proven innocent
@@lightningqueen1145 My democratic dad has a shotgun,he mainly uses it for hunting duck with my uncle when we visit. The only time I ever saw or heard him use it was to scare away some wild dogs that were terrorizing out kittens and ripping up our patio,it wasn't even loaded just a blank.
Technically they aren't lying. Democrats gun laws will take away the guns of every mentality unstable person. Many mentally unstable people just happen to be right wingers.
John Oliver, even with his English accent, seems to me like a hell of a lot more of an American than ANY of those people on NRATV.
3:04 You haven't met Florida Man, in other words. He'll leave you so puzzled, you'll feel like just quitting and be done with it.
