In "one of the safest" countries in Europe where guns are ILLEGAL, the police don't even carry firearms: My car was broken into with radio and phone stollen. I had gotten jumped. My brother in law was shot to death in broad daylight. A shoot out happened between "SWAT" and a drunk man. Since being in the USA, I haven't had any issues...so far.
Stolen* And in that shootout, one "SWAT" officer was killed(shot through the front door)and so was the shooter. It would have happened to the police, but they don't carry firearms. My brother in law was stalked overnight, followed to a store the next morning, while shopping his tire was slashed and he was shot while changing his tire on the side of the road. A witness picked him up and drove him 5 minutes to the nearest help where he died on scene. The shooter drove to a public park 45 minutes away and then shot himself. He illegally acquired the firearm by purchasing it from a farmer in a country where EVERYTHING down to slingshots are illegal. Stabbings, on the other hand, are about a weekly occurrence there. If someone REALLY wants to hurt you, they will.
People think other countries are way safer... the reality.. freedom of the press means usa reports everything... but also US is the size of Europe! So if anyone wanted to count numvers... it better be ALL OF EUROPE against the 3rd largest country (population wise) in the world
Very sorry to hear about your loss. Horrible. I'm glad you've found freedom in my home country (and that you surely dont seem to be a parasite liberal - vote for those who destroy your country/state and then flee to Conservative areas and do the same.) I'm a patriot American that unfortunately currently lives in England. For a bit longer. It is illegal to carry anything on you for the purpose of self-defense. Pepper spray is even totally illegal. People have been arrested for defending themselves in their home by using a replica gun to subdue a criminal until police arrived. Or a mother alone and home with her kids at night showed a knife inside her own home to a group of men trying to break in to scare them away. She was arrested. Some magistrates have suggested every knife have the point rounded off and at least one "Conservative" MP has said every knife should have a GPS tracker. But, that's what you get when a couple thousand people are arrested each year due to online "hate speech" (aka having opinions which different from the radical Left).
My wife was talking to the Vietnamese man that does her nails and feet. He's been here for 40 years, pro gun and pro liberty. He said that in Vietnam the government has total control over the citizens. They have no problem coming in your home and making you get out, and if you refuse they'll kill you or put you in prison. He told her that we should never give up our guns because if we do we are just subjects.
So many people here are ignorant of the rest of the world. Homeless US citizens have better living conditions than many folks around the world. I mean, we literally bathe in drinkable water.
that might just be why he escaped communism in Vietnam. oh wait we're not supposed to talk bad about the worst form of government in human history.,...opps i said it, Marxism sucks.
This argument doesn't work anymore though. Of course I believe in the 2A but law enforcement force their way into homes all the time without probable cause and if you defend yourself. You are done for legally or with your life. So right now, us having guns as protection against the government is not the protection that is needed. We need protection from government protection corporations and profits over the rights and needs of the people.
Actually, you are responsible for your own safety. SCOTUS has already ruled the government is only responsible for the safety of those persons "in their custody."
Gun free zones should provide armed security plain and simple. Making a area a soft target protects nobody. Recently ted Cruz offered a bill providing police officers in all schools something that may have helped but alas the anti gun demonrat objected.
Absolutely. Especially with regards to schools because parents are essentially compelled by law to send their kids there. If citizens are ordered to relinquish their children into the care of the state for 6 or 7 hours per day, the state should be liable whenever they fail to protect them.
Absolutely correct, my goodness I pray for the day that US good American people FINALLY come together and END the lying sold out tyrannical oath breaker criminal TRAITOR politicians and govt thug employees.. let's give them the punishment these traitors deserve..
John, I used to push my daughters into thinking rather than feeling. When we discussed things, whatever the subject, whenever they would say “I feel” in response to my question, I would throw up my hand and tell them I wanted to know what they thought and not what they felt. It has served them well. Darlington, South Carolina
Right, signs that say 'no guns allowed' at that. We used to take our guns to school, had a gun rack in the rear window, had hunter safety courses and general firearms safety as a class and school shootings weren't even a thing. It's strange how the propensity for violence only rears its ugly head once the firearms are removed. This brings forth the truthfulness to the saying 'an armed society is a polite society'. Stay safe and stay armed. ✌🏻
U know though same signs exist in the white house,capital, any gov. Facility, and yet all are protected by words NO! Wait not words what is the word I'm looking for 😮😮😮yha GUNS!!! F.U.B.A.R!! And yet a kid brings in his Hopalong Cassidy cap pistols to kindergarten & the teacher freaks out! Imagine that!
Exactly...which is why you hypocritical zealots will always blame others for every problem because YOU are too cowardly to accept responsibility for anything.
@BradanKlauer-xh3hm I think some certainly do.....but I think it's more likely that they just haven't thought through their position. Like most leftists, they read up on the emotions around a topic but rarely read the facts. So their foundation in any topic is very shaky because it's not built on solid ground. Doing vids like this may help some people break through their ignorance and realize that there is, in fact, a logical (not emotional) reason behind the 2A.
In America. Lets clarify that. In America. Look overseas at the stats from countries with gun control or a lack of. America fails to learn from other countries and continue to push their ideologies on every other country.
@Cyb3rFck America keeping guns is because we learned from others mistakes. Deaths by gun per capita in America is nowhere near the highest of countries in the world, in fact we are only middle in the world and many countries that have banned guns have much higher per capita gun deaths. Also, we can't find any country that had banned guns where it helped them. They claim it lowered they're suicide by guns but the stats show suicide did not go down but instead change the method. Same with violent crimes and murder... To be fair we should compare violent crimes per capita not just gun crime per capita and then America is one of the safest in the world. In fact the areas of America that's proven to be the most dangerous are the areas that restrict guns to a level makes them useless for normal people. Many countries with higher rape per capita or higher armed crimes per capita or higher murder per capita claim they are better off because the crimes were not with guns.
@@mlgusman979correct, we call them resource officers. If school is in session, they are on duty. It only makes sense being that our children are the most important resource we have. Without them all is for nothing. Stay safe and stay armed. ✌🏻
Except that what you people don't realize yet is that putting cops in schools doesn't help the children to be safer. In Florida, the resource officer ran away and hid while the children were being murdered. In Texas the cops would go in to save the kids and now you think the guy stationed there will be who, John Rambo? Lol No. Putting cops in schools only means putting your children in the criminal justice system early. They have been doing this elsewhere in the country for at least 20 years. Now instead of a detention, tommy gets a court date. Instead of ISS, Suzie is forced into unpaid, state sponsored child labor, picking up all manner of refuse on the side of the highway. Now instead of a letter to the parents, the parents get a court date. Instead of a parent teacher conference, you're talking to the DA. Instead of missing a morning of work you're being fined and threatened with jail time, and so are your children.
@@Lightning613 At least the sign doesn't slam kids into walls or break their arms or force them into unpaid labor or toss them in juvie hall. At least signs aren't fining parents or threatening to throw them in jail. At least you don't expect the sign to try to save your child, but instead it runs out of the building and hides for 45 minutes while your children are being mercilessly gunned down like the resource officer did in Lakeland FL
That's been the goal of our schools for years. Kill the ability for people to use critical thinking and encourage them to just do whatever they are told.
Dear Mr. Lovell, I just want to thank you for always being a positive voice and helping me keep my nose out of trouble as a gun owner at age 18, then carrier when I turned 21 with no father figure in the household. I’m 30 now and lord knows I was one absolutely bone headed kid but I’m really thankful for you and your message. Not sure where I’d be today if not for that. Thanks, - Justin
John, You’re a deadly warrior and seemingly very intelligent. You conducted these interviews very professionally and gave everyone the opportunity to validate their opinion. I love your channel and content. I’m a retired cop in the communist state of New Jersey. If we don’t defend our right to own firearms we stand to be suppressed by a dictatorship.
It has already started. We have seen these socialist slowly erode freedoms and liberties, and then speech. They have demonized anyone who does not accept "THEIR" view in spite of any evidence or facts that the other side might present. All while claiming they are the most accepting group. This is not a spontaneous revelation that happened across the globe. It is a clear and persistent push from a group of very powerful individuals to separate and alienate the groups against each other. To create the an inseparable divide. And as we have seen the left wish harm and death to the opposite faction. Does that not sound like the prelude to a civil war? And what do you think the US will look like afterwards if the left/socialist win. (pssst.... take a look at China)
I had a non military friend who, well let's say he was a fun guy to hang out with but he failed to understand the purpose of a civilian owning guns. So one day we were hanging out having a couple beers with the boys and I remembered I had an airsoft pistol in my truck. So I challenged him. He had a stick that we'd pretend was a knife or a baton or some sort of nonlethal weapon. The challenge was that he had to touch me before I could shoot him. And not surprisingly the pistol won every time. We got him his first pistol that weekend and now his collection rivals my grandad's and that's saying something.😂
Whatever happened to fighting with your hands and taking an azz whooping to fight another day. Bringing a gun to a knife battle is cowardly act. If that's the only way you can win then just walk away and swallow your pride.
@svenjorgensenn8418 There is no "rule". It is estimated the Tueller Principle. Get better information on a subject before you try to challenge someone.
@@John-uo1qf The first two minutes told me all I need to know, and I must say that I certainly don't trust my government (especially given their track record in the past 23-ish years)
Look at it this way, while the society is still armed they work for you. Give up your rights, and then you work for them. Whether you like it or not. And once rights are gone, you won’t get a do over. They are gone for good.
@sexyandiknowit45 ACTUALLY, I have a sign on my front door that shows a hand pointing a pistol and it says "Forget about the dog, Beware of the owner" so the logic is there, MOST, but not all, gun owners do not have any issues with people KNOWING that there are firearms in thier homes and ready to be used to defend themselves and their property, BUT I have never met, and probably never will find even as many as 1 single anti-gunner who is proud enough to post a sign somewhere on his/her property, any sort of sign that lets everyone know that there are no firearms on the property or in the residence, DO YOU know why they will never do that? because I do, by putting up such a sign lets any criminal element know that your place is a good spot to commit a crime, and why would any sane person do that? but then again, why would any sane person blame guns for gun deaths from bullet wounds? I am still trying to figure that one out, it is sort of like blaming a chain saw for cutting down trees or blaming a baseball bat for hitting a home run, it just does not make any sense to me, everyone knows that guns do not kill people, in the past 1,000 years, (which is about how long guns have existed,) not 1 time has a gun ever shot or killed anyone or anything. And you do not "ERECT" signs you just hang them or post them either on a tree, or a post, or a door.
@sexyandiknowit45Yes someone pointed out to challenge anti-gunners to put up weapons free signs in their yard, and we all know that they will not do it, but then someone said how about gun owners put up signs in their yard displaying that they do have guns, and he/she claimed that gun owners will not do that, but the truth is, not only myself, but MANY MANY gun owners DO in fact put up such signs, some of them are pretty funny, some of them are flat and just put the fact out there, I was just pointing out that he/she is wrong, gun owners do not have any problems posting a sign or two, or a hundred that they are armed. Thats all.
The 2nd amendment grants nothing but denies Government from infringing on a natural Right every human is born with. Something that the Founders had such insight in being human. ALL laws that infringe on inalienable Rights are null and void.
That's why you either build your guns or buy them through private sales...the firearms estimates are for known weapons...I'm not an outlaw unless they make me one...I simply believe that it's not the business of our government what you have...that's like sending a list of your armaments before you fight...and that, my friend, is why I never buy firearms through "legal" means...the constitution says that laws controlling our rights are repugnant and should not be obeyed...be safe, remain vigilant, and carry a weapon...peace...
Absolutely, I will never comply with any gun restrictions… magazine bans, bump stock bans…. Not one of them SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is self explanatory and leaves no room for interpretation. Every gun law needs to be wiped off the books. Yes even for felons…. The constitution does not say unless we think you are a bad guy…

Anthony 24 Fed. 829 (1873) "The term resident and citizen of the United States is distinguished from a Citizen of one of the several states, in that the former is a special class of citizen created by Congress." Though the judge fails to fully admit the circumstance, US citizenship was created as an excuse for the government to claim ownership of all the slaves supposedly freed by the Civil War as chattel backing Union war debts. To this day, black Americans have only Civil Rights.
Also there are more instances of people using guns to defend themselves or others in the U.S. on a yearly basis (500k to 1.6 million), then actual gun violence deaths

What all of them miss is the restrictive effect of having so many people owning guns has on government. They think in terms of fighting the government and winning but just like society as a whole the more people who own guns the less likely the government is to overreach.

"You want all privately held guns turned over to the Trump administration?" was the question I asked a couple of years ago. My liberal family members were like...ya...you have a point. I am happy you took my argument and ran with it more widely. The deeper point is that the National Guard is directly controlled by the President due to a Defense Authorization law from the 1980s which eliminated all state militias in direct contravention of the US Constitution. The states are supposed to have an independent military as a check and balance against too much Federal military power. See Federalist Papers.
The founders were adamantly against standing federal armies. You'd think the leftists against endless war would be in favor of this model where the individual was in control of whether the threat is great enough to leave family and hearth to fight. It all went sideways straight out of the gate with Washington and the Whiskey Rebellion.
Those who wish to use violence against others can only be held in check with the threat - or use - of violence. This is why the Second Amendment is not and will never become obsolete. Until human nature fundamentally changes, which history proves unlikely if not impossible, violence will always be necessary to defend freedom.
ALL of history tells us that people will ALWAYS try to take things from other people if they feel they can do so without consequences. Human nature will NEVER fundamentally change. That's just crazy talk.
@@ronjones-6977 I agree. Short of humans evolving a 24th pair of chromosomes, we are still trapped in being what we are. And we are fundamentally flawed.

@@fjb4932 remember. The Civil War WAS fought to give slaves the right to own firearms. It was fought to give those slaves the same rights as every other american. Thats why democrats do everything they can, to deny black Americans the second amendment. They can't use their old tactics or racism. So they've adjusted to say no one can have firearms.
I have a theory most people who want to ban and confiscate guns think this for one of three reasons: 1. They believe the State should wield absolute and unchallenged power, and armed individuals are a threat to this end. 2. They fear what they do not understand and cannot accept not all violence is inherently evil. 3. They struggle with their own violent urges, or are terrified they are capable of uncontrolled violence, and assume everyone else in society must have this same internal struggle.
When I hear someone say that people don't need certain weapons or firearms, I am them "what gives you or anyone else the right or authority to decide how or to what degree I can protect my family?". When I hear someone ask why do you need certain weapons or firearms, I tell them "it's not about what I need right now, it's about what I might need tomorrow".

My new coworker from Cuba has been in the US three months. He's 40 and when training him we had a lot of time to talk about Cuba. He described the power and control of the government. We talked about why the masses don't fight back against so many. The very very few of the government so easily control the 10-to-1 people have guns against the helpless rock throwing citizens. It's not just the threat of prison. Any one person with a gun can easily hold back and control so many people
"The very very few of the government so easily control the 10-to-1 people have guns against the helpless rock throwing citizens. It's not just the threat of prison.

That being said, this was a great video.
I'd agree execpt for the assumption that "all" want better for the country. A significant amount of people want to keep the name "America" but change every law and societal norm. They may believe their changes are for the better but they're wrong. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
A part of me believes that the main reason that the interviewees were so calm emotionally was because the verbal tone of the interviewer was ALSO calm, non-triggering and non-gaslighting! THAT makes a BIG difference in having a real and thoughtful conversation.
I think that when you asked the people if they trusted the government, you made them think and look at there initial response and continue the conversation with you. Well done!
Another Line of Questions to ask: Do Criminals Follow current gun laws or Ignore them? If we create New Gun Laws will the criminals Start Following those? If law abiding citizens already follow the laws, then why do they need MORE laws about guns?
@@even1313there's no denying the fact that having a firearm makes it much easier to commit violent crimes with, it's been that way since firearms we're invented. However, criminals need to be punished severely for committing violent crimes regardless of the tools they use. If all guns were banned then violent crimes with guns would drop, but violent crimes would still happen. We have an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and the tools we use to protect those rights are enshrined in the bill of rights, meaning that they're basically untouchable. Our government is rogue, constantly infringing on our rights, yet we stand by and let them do it. What did Benjamin Franklin say about security over liberty?
@@Brett235 UK has tight gun laws. violent crime is on the increase. sweden has strict gun laws, violent crime is on the increase. crime is proportionaly higher in places with strict gun laws. remove the ability to defend yourself legaly, you become less risky to criminals and crime will increase. gun deaths probobly wont drop but crime will decrease. and with decrease of crime the drop in gun deaths will follow.
When you mention sharing your car with the state it brings to mind the fact that the second you sign up for a driver's license or registration on your personal vehicle that you have fully paid for then you are giving partial ownership of your vehicle to the state
True that but the state violates contract laws of full disclosure committing fraud on the people. No one would willingly give ownership to the state by registration with full disclosure.

@@Blue-cq2hlIt's more simple than that. They know the musket fires slowly so they want people to have that instead of binary AR's that might be used to shred their kids. It's a mix of hopium, misinformation and concern about the future. They're more focused on what might be unsafe for their kids instead of civics and rights because the 2A really doesn't impact them (as non gun owners) except as a perceived public threat. You end up with people too disinterested and militant to learn about 2A or appreciate it, and the politicians and the evening news only make the narrative they know more entrenched.
I'm smiling because "Do you trust the government?" is always my prime, go-to question when conversationally people challenge and condemn US legal gun ownership.
Because it's the logical question to place. If one trusts the government and come from a place where the governement is representing the people and nation appropriately. When there is distrust, it creates a need to defend oneself.... next would be a second logical question, would you be more in support of gun control if the government was actually chasing and removing those in possession of illegal , ie stolen or fully automatic firearms..however the government comes for lawful owners, not addressing the criminal element in possession.
The majority always fail to realize they are the defenders of their lives and so the majority of them stay as sheep among wolves. This makes people easily controlled by both criminals and government. Then what happens is both the Government and criminals are not in favor of the law abiding citizenry. It’s always one-sided. It always has been this way.
Yes and no the government has ways of making you seem like a traitor. John Locke has stated that if a government isn't doing right we have the right to overthrow them.

A thought on the pepper spray. I have been a correctional officer for 15 years and have been in the "spicy air" on countless occasions.

I have had countless conversations with people who I know (and ones I don't know) that are on the left regarding various topics. And I always love to pull this card out of the pocket with them. Something to the effect of "It seems through hearing what you have to say that you don't trust the Government." And they will tell you some form of "Hell no!" So you hit them with "Well, then why do you vote to put more Government control of your life in their hands?" The look of epiphany washing over their faces is satisfying every single time.

@@JB-uk7mn semantics. Gun Control History In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century: 56 million. Now you understand why, in the words of Justice Joseph Story (appointed to the Supreme Court by James Madison), "The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."
@@JB-uk7mn Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
@bwhitleyjr he means the elites hire people to kill the sheep and they dgaf because they didn't do it themselves. So they think they can still go to heaven
You can even do it when there is no fire. The problem arises when a reasonable person would believe it and can cause a panic. Even the arguments about hate speech fall into this. That kind of speech can be limited based on the harm it directly causes. Making racist comments is about different from inciting or advocating for racist violence. We can see it in a liberal direction with that school protest against the female swimmer. The college's dean even praised the students for their peaceful protest. Meanwhile, they filmed themselves chasing and beating this woman through the halls, and then the police had to sequester her in an adjacent room for three hours because the crowd wouldn't let her leave. These people viewed their physical violence as free speech since they consider it the consequences of the young woman's hate speech. Which goes back to the point of who decides what's hate speech. The dean decided the group's actions weren't hate speech, and she faced backlash for condoning a mob.
Speech should never be limited. Consensus does not always equal correct. Just look at when just one man believed the world was round vs everyone else; just one man believed the earth revolved around the sun, and he was correct.
On the "mass shootings" question, I ask people, "So, would war count as the biggest mass shootings ever?" "Can a government that went to Vietnam and Iraq, be counted as the biggest mass-shooting perpetrator?" "Have you heard of Waco? Are the government agencies and officials who did that, the people who should be given the moral authority over mass shootings?"
Well said, and freaking scary true.. these nasty lying sold out crooked TRAITOR politicians and gobt thug employees absolutely have no business telling ANY of US good American people what we should or should not be doing...
Wow. Very good point. Do you know, more people die from falling down than they do from gun violence. The tv is there best manipulate tore. They keep showing guns,guns,guns. There are probably no more shootings then there was 3-4 years ago.
Awesome video and topic. One point I try to drive home with my friends and family is reminding them that the “state” or “government” is not some man behind the current. It’s literally our community members who run for these positions. We need to hold them accountable and vote them out when they dont produce good results. Vs allowing them to become career politicians who just become more corrupt over time.
What you’re doing is wonderful, educating and training the public about gun and self-defense. I went from anti-gun to not anti-gun when I started to understand the value and the cost of freedom. I was naive to think that the government is always protecting its citizens in a civilized democratic peaceful western world. Not so anymore. Now I totally understand why civilians should have the right to bear arms if they choose to do so. We should respect our Constitution. I’m just afraid to use one or have one at home. It’d take tremendous of self-control, especially when emotion runs wild. Besides, that’s one more item in the house with potential lethal accident to worry about. We did have a home robbery at gun point, but that didn’t prompt us to get a gun or training. We just beefed up our security system and be more aware of our surroundings. I agree education and training should be more accessible. But then again, if I see so many training places popping up, I’d think we are preparing for a war, like in Israel where even women are carrying guns. My anxiety would go up even more I’m afraid. Anyway, I’m all for freedom of choice.
Spot on. An additional question that I've found useful is, "If you were in an area where violence is being mercilessly committed against innocent people, what would you do?" The response universally invloves calling the police. The follow-up point is to help them realize that they actually want good guys with guns to be on the scene to end the violence... but they just want them there *after* people have already been injured or killed.
It's like there's this sheepish naive trust that a government hired goon with a gun is somehow more trustworthy than any other person. I don't care how many background checks and such a person goes through, a person is still a being influenced by emotions and the potential for their own gain. Give said person power and authority and the potential for abuse is even higher than the average person.
These videos are edited. Also it’s a knowledgeable person talking to an unknowledgeable person on a specific topic. Then asking what their opinions are. Then hitting them with gotchas so we can sit back and enforce our confirmation bias. Guns in this country are complicated. If they weren’t, then it wouldn’t be such a hot button topic. Failing to recognize the other sides point of view or the problems we face, is what makes us further divided.
My family hardly ever owned guns at all ( my grandpa owned one rifle and one shotgun for hunting) until 1999 when a family member of mine my uncle was attacked and murdered. Then my grandpa and my dad started buying guns and teaching the family to use them responsibly. Everybody who owns a firearm should learn how to use it but everyone should have one and learn.
I like this video. Its cool to see that you met people in a less inflamatory situation and setuo the questions in a way that people felt comfortable enough to have an actual conversation and not just start screaming or calling names.
When these people say "the government should limit who gets these guns and provide/make sure they have the proper training to use them". . . please then ask them if they are in favor of the NRA, an organization created by Congress to teach people in this country the proper use of firearms. I can't wait for the responses.
An organization founded by retired military officers that saw how unprepared most union soldiers to handle a rifle. They wanted to improve marksmanship. Hopefully to solve the problem.
Wow, most college profs. Try to convince all their students that we are a democracy, and that the government should support us all. What a breath of fresh air🤗
We are not a democracy, it’s not a breath of fresh air that they are trying to press that idea on their student. We are a constitutional republic. There is a major differences between the 2.
@@apollo3679 I believe that you may have missed the point here. Rich H was stating that it is a breath of fresh air because THIS professor isn't one of those Left leaning indoctrination clowns. This professor has good common sense.
I only hope that the professor doesn't get cancelled because of his views. The institutions of higher learning seem to be socialist/communist indoctrination centers these days. A show of hands, who wants to earn a degree in gender studies??? 🤡💩
I used to say felons with a history of violence shouldn’t be able to have a gun but that’s more a reflection of my distrust of the prison system’s inability to properly or effectively rehabilitate people. So we should probably fix that and our justice system.
I love this conversation about logic and emotion. It’s a fatal flaw (or intent?) in the fundamental teachings in schools today. If children are not taught to be logical, they grow up to become sheep following liberal emotional doctrine.
What’s stupid … is to think that the constitution can’t be changed … Dogmatism is dangerous. If you can’t asses something and determine if it’s a good idea or a bad idea and change it … your on a bad road Oh by the way which God are you thanking?
British Guy Living In the U.S. here Just bought my first gun, God Bless America! Edit to explain why: To say that we shouldn't have the right to carry a gun, when criminals simply ignore the laws and do so anyway, is absurd and would lead to a position in which only the bad guys have guns, and the good guys have no recompense or ability to defend themselves against violent armed criminals. So (much to the dismay of my fellow Brits, I'm sure), I love guns, I love the right to bear arms, and I love the values America was founded on.
Yeah, you must be British. You are aware that there is no country named America. Not one country in the world. Zero, zip, nada. America is the name of a continent. Yes, one continent and not two with an imaginary subcontinent called Central America. And this continent was named that in 1507, hundreds of years before this country became a country. There are 35 countries in America and they are all part of America and everyone who is native of any of those countries are Americans. The wonderful thing is that more and more Americans in many countries are waking up and reclaiming their rightful title of Americans and America for their continent.
Are you not American then? You have an opinion, with some facts thrown in, not in all sense true in that notion. Why would you want to tear another person down for their beliefs?Or something that was, to you, "not" factual. Who cares! He is grateful to be here. And he wasn't incorrect! Are you? Shut up. Who cares about what you think? Its not incorrect to say "America". Yes, it is United States...but of AMERICA. Big freaking deal. A lot of people not from "America", call it America. Even U.S. citizens call it America. It IS in the country's title. "United States OF AMERICA". Go bully someone else.

Great comments on the difference between civilian skills and military life. As an old SDM nothing prepared me for CCW. As for the best place to carry for a big guy, after 40 years of CCW for personal reasons IMHO with my GP100 or 9mm Commander it's 1:00, appendix carry. I carried for years at 3 & 4, I was always concerned with the weapon being out of my peripheral vision or the access to it and I felt in a T shirt it always printed. I have carried at the 1:00 now for 10 years and anything I carry, either a full size 1911 or my 4" 629 just disappear. I will admit it's not for the novice or someone that doesn't practice but it's secure and very fast.
Such a great point on how bills are convoluted with anything and everything and they’re not topical so you can’t hold Congressmen accountable. Excellent point.
![Chris Langan - The Interview THEY Didn't Want You To See - CTMU [Full Version; Timestamps]](/img/1.gif)
In "one of the safest" countries in Europe where guns are ILLEGAL, the police don't even carry firearms:
My car was broken into with radio and phone stollen.
I had gotten jumped.
My brother in law was shot to death in broad daylight.
A shoot out happened between "SWAT" and a drunk man.
Since being in the USA, I haven't had any issues...so far.
Stolen*
And in that shootout, one "SWAT" officer was killed(shot through the front door)and so was the shooter. It would have happened to the police, but they don't carry firearms.
My brother in law was stalked overnight, followed to a store the next morning, while shopping his tire was slashed and he was shot while changing his tire on the side of the road. A witness picked him up and drove him 5 minutes to the nearest help where he died on scene. The shooter drove to a public park 45 minutes away and then shot himself. He illegally acquired the firearm by purchasing it from a farmer in a country where EVERYTHING down to slingshots are illegal.
Stabbings, on the other hand, are about a weekly occurrence there.
If someone REALLY wants to hurt you, they will.
People think other countries are way safer... the reality.. freedom of the press means usa reports everything... but also US is the size of Europe! So if anyone wanted to count numvers... it better be ALL OF EUROPE against the 3rd largest country (population wise) in the world

Very sorry to hear about your loss. Horrible. I'm glad you've found freedom in my home country (and that you surely dont seem to be a parasite liberal - vote for those who destroy your country/state and then flee to Conservative areas and do the same.)
I'm a patriot American that unfortunately currently lives in England. For a bit longer.
It is illegal to carry anything on you for the purpose of self-defense.
Pepper spray is even totally illegal.
People have been arrested for defending themselves in their home by using a replica gun to subdue a criminal until police arrived. Or a mother alone and home with her kids at night showed a knife inside her own home to a group of men trying to break in to scare them away. She was arrested.
Some magistrates have suggested every knife have the point rounded off and at least one "Conservative" MP has said every knife should have a GPS tracker.
But, that's what you get when a couple thousand people are arrested each year due to online "hate speech" (aka having opinions which different from the radical Left).
My wife was talking to the Vietnamese man that does her nails and feet. He's been here for 40 years, pro gun and pro liberty. He said that in Vietnam the government has total control over the citizens. They have no problem coming in your home and making you get out, and if you refuse they'll kill you or put you in prison. He told her that we should never give up our guns because if we do we are just subjects.
OR give up your guns and then only own crappy stuff so nobody else ever wants to take it!
So many people here are ignorant of the rest of the world. Homeless US citizens have better living conditions than many folks around the world. I mean, we literally bathe in drinkable water.

@@nexxterra sounds like a good plan, you go first
This argument doesn't work anymore though. Of course I believe in the 2A but law enforcement force their way into homes all the time without probable cause and if you defend yourself. You are done for legally or with your life. So right now, us having guns as protection against the government is not the protection that is needed. We need protection from government protection corporations and profits over the rights and needs of the people.
This needs to become law. If you declare somewhere a gun free zone. You should then be legally liable for everyone's safety in the zone.
💯
Actually, you are responsible for your own safety. SCOTUS has already ruled the government is only responsible for the safety of those persons "in their custody."
Yes! If you are going to prevent someone from protecting themselves then you are responsible for their protection.
Gun free zones should provide armed security plain and simple. Making a area a soft target protects nobody. Recently ted Cruz offered a bill providing police officers in all schools something that may have helped but alas the anti gun demonrat objected.
Absolutely. Especially with regards to schools because parents are essentially compelled by law to send their kids there. If citizens are ordered to relinquish their children into the care of the state for 6 or 7 hours per day, the state should be liable whenever they fail to protect them.
Anti-gunners: how many children have to die before you put down your guns?
Me: how many children have to die before you pick one up?

@crashalexander7232they’re different sure but what’s not different is people don’t care about what you think nor what you feel.
"Politicians are protected by guns and our kids are protected by signs." 💯
Our kids are not protected
Right, signs that say 'no guns allowed' at that. We used to take our guns to school, had a gun rack in the rear window, had hunter safety courses and general firearms safety as a class and school shootings weren't even a thing. It's strange how the propensity for violence only rears its ugly head once the firearms are removed. This brings forth the truthfulness to the saying 'an armed society is a polite society'. Stay safe and stay armed. ✌🏻
U know though same signs exist in the white house,capital, any gov. Facility, and yet all are protected by words NO! Wait not words what is the word I'm looking for 😮😮😮yha GUNS!!! F.U.B.A.R!! And yet a kid brings in his Hopalong Cassidy cap pistols to kindergarten & the teacher freaks out! Imagine that!
Our kids are made into targets by signs.
Even if it isn’t true the sign should at least say they are strapped and ready to fire at criminals

@BradanKlauer-xh3hm I think some certainly do.....but I think it's more likely that they just haven't thought through their position. Like most leftists, they read up on the emotions around a topic but rarely read the facts. So their foundation in any topic is very shaky because it's not built on solid ground. Doing vids like this may help some people break through their ignorance and realize that there is, in fact, a logical (not emotional) reason behind the 2A.
In America. Lets clarify that. In America.
Look overseas at the stats from countries with gun control or a lack of.
America fails to learn from other countries and continue to push their ideologies on every other country.
@Cyb3rFck America keeping guns is because we learned from others mistakes. Deaths by gun per capita in America is nowhere near the highest of countries in the world, in fact we are only middle in the world and many countries that have banned guns have much higher per capita gun deaths. Also, we can't find any country that had banned guns where it helped them. They claim it lowered they're suicide by guns but the stats show suicide did not go down but instead change the method. Same with violent crimes and murder... To be fair we should compare violent crimes per capita not just gun crime per capita and then America is one of the safest in the world. In fact the areas of America that's proven to be the most dangerous are the areas that restrict guns to a level makes them useless for normal people. Many countries with higher rape per capita or higher armed crimes per capita or higher murder per capita claim they are better off because the crimes were not with guns.
TEXAS!! .... just passed along HB3 to REQUIRE school campuses to have armed security! Very proud of my state. Wish this would spread to others.

@@mlgusman979correct, we call them resource officers. If school is in session, they are on duty. It only makes sense being that our children are the most important resource we have. Without them all is for nothing. Stay safe and stay armed. ✌🏻
Except that what you people don't realize yet is that putting cops in schools doesn't help the children to be safer.
In Florida, the resource officer ran away and hid while the children were being murdered.
In Texas the cops would go in to save the kids and now you think the guy stationed there will be who, John Rambo? Lol
No. Putting cops in schools only means putting your children in the criminal justice system early.
They have been doing this elsewhere in the country for at least 20 years. Now instead of a detention, tommy gets a court date.
Instead of ISS, Suzie is forced into unpaid, state sponsored child labor, picking up all manner of refuse on the side of the highway.
Now instead of a letter to the parents, the parents get a court date.
Instead of a parent teacher conference, you're talking to the DA.
Instead of missing a morning of work you're being fined and threatened with jail time, and so are your children.
@@Lightning613
At least the sign doesn't slam kids into walls or break their arms or force them into unpaid labor or toss them in juvie hall. At least signs aren't fining parents or threatening to throw them in jail.
At least you don't expect the sign to try to save your child, but instead it runs out of the building and hides for 45 minutes while your children are being mercilessly gunned down like the resource officer did in Lakeland FL

You’re a deadly warrior and seemingly very intelligent. You conducted these interviews very professionally and gave everyone the opportunity to validate their opinion. I love your channel and content. I’m a retired cop in the communist state of New Jersey. If we don’t defend our right to own firearms we stand to be suppressed by a dictatorship.
Yeah for sure, and I believe it to be a whole lot closer then anyone thinks it could be.. unfortunately
It has already started. We have seen these socialist slowly erode freedoms and liberties, and then speech. They have demonized anyone who does not accept "THEIR" view in spite of any evidence or facts that the other side might present. All while claiming they are the most accepting group. This is not a spontaneous revelation that happened across the globe. It is a clear and persistent push from a group of very powerful individuals to separate and alienate the groups against each other. To create the an inseparable divide. And as we have seen the left wish harm and death to the opposite faction. Does that not sound like the prelude to a civil war? And what do you think the US will look like afterwards if the left/socialist win. (pssst.... take a look at China)
I had a non military friend who, well let's say he was a fun guy to hang out with but he failed to understand the purpose of a civilian owning guns. So one day we were hanging out having a couple beers with the boys and I remembered I had an airsoft pistol in my truck. So I challenged him. He had a stick that we'd pretend was a knife or a baton or some sort of nonlethal weapon. The challenge was that he had to touch me before I could shoot him. And not surprisingly the pistol won every time. We got him his first pistol that weekend and now his collection rivals my grandad's and that's saying something.😂
Converting an anti gunner to an enthusiast is is such a great feeling
My question would be, How much training has accompanied the accumulation?

Look at it this way, while the society is still armed they work for you. Give up your rights, and then you work for them. Whether you like it or not. And once rights are gone, you won’t get a do over. They are gone for good.
Always ask Anti-Weapons voters to please put a sign in their yard or on their home that reads , 'Weapon Free Home.'
They won't do it.
@sexyandiknowit45no, they definitely put up signs, I've seen them. Some of them are funny and Parody "ADT" signs for example.
@sexyandiknowit45 ACTUALLY, I have a sign on my front door that shows a hand pointing a pistol and it says "Forget about the dog, Beware of the owner" so the logic is there, MOST, but not all, gun owners do not have any issues with people KNOWING that there are firearms in thier homes and ready to be used to defend themselves and their property, BUT I have never met, and probably never will find even as many as 1 single anti-gunner who is proud enough to post a sign somewhere on his/her property, any sort of sign that lets everyone know that there are no firearms on the property or in the residence, DO YOU know why they will never do that? because I do, by putting up such a sign lets any criminal element know that your place is a good spot to commit a crime, and why would any sane person do that? but then again, why would any sane person blame guns for gun deaths from bullet wounds? I am still trying to figure that one out, it is sort of like blaming a chain saw for cutting down trees or blaming a baseball bat for hitting a home run, it just does not make any sense to me, everyone knows that guns do not kill people, in the past 1,000 years, (which is about how long guns have existed,) not 1 time has a gun ever shot or killed anyone or anything. And you do not "ERECT" signs you just hang them or post them either on a tree, or a post, or a door.
@sexyandiknowit45Yes someone pointed out to challenge anti-gunners to put up weapons free signs in their yard, and we all know that they will not do it, but then someone said how about gun owners put up signs in their yard displaying that they do have guns, and he/she claimed that gun owners will not do that, but the truth is, not only myself, but MANY MANY gun owners DO in fact put up such signs, some of them are pretty funny, some of them are flat and just put the fact out there, I was just pointing out that he/she is wrong, gun owners do not have any problems posting a sign or two, or a hundred that they are armed. Thats all.

The 2nd amendment grants nothing but denies Government from infringing on a natural Right every human is born with. Something that the Founders had such insight in being human. ALL laws that infringe on inalienable Rights are null and void.

@@j.l.8000 Too many people don't even understand the difference between inalienable rights and privileges.
That's why you either build your guns or buy them through private sales...the firearms estimates are for known weapons...I'm not an outlaw unless they make me one...I simply believe that it's not the business of our government what you have...that's like sending a list of your armaments before you fight...and that, my friend, is why I never buy firearms through "legal" means...the constitution says that laws controlling our rights are repugnant and should not be obeyed...be safe, remain vigilant, and carry a weapon...peace...
To further this comment, the Constitution does not apply to We the People. It is actually a list of restrictions on the government
Absolutely, I will never comply with any gun restrictions… magazine bans, bump stock bans…. Not one of them SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is self explanatory and leaves no room for interpretation. Every gun law needs to be wiped off the books. Yes even for felons…. The constitution does not say unless we think you are a bad guy…
The government passes infringements on its citizens. It should be the other way around.
Isn’t that supposed to how it’s done? The bill of rights are all infringements and limitations of government. It’s how they are written.
There is no such thing as an infringement placed upon the government, only restrictions. The government doesn't have Rights, only US Citizens.

More guns DOES NOT MEAN more deaths.
Haha yeah it's another statistic that you're not allowed to talk about that really influences those numbers.
Not mention how many more people, 220 million in 1980, 330 million in 2020.... a 50% increase in population yet firearm homicides dropped by ~9%?
Also there are more instances of people using guns to defend themselves or others in the U.S. on a yearly basis (500k to 1.6 million), then actual gun violence deaths
The criminals are afraid of going to high gun areas..

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IS KEY! Always be aware of your surroundings!
At some point, we "law abiding citizens" need to stop abiding by unconstitutional laws.....
About time you all joined the party. I've been doing it all along. The people who believe blind obedience means you're a good person(like German citizens in the 30's and 40's) aren't slinging all the ad-hominens at me they once were. I refuse to "go along to get along" like German citizens did in WW2. I read books instead of watching football and titties all day. Turns out, it payed off!
The badge to many people proudly wear called “Law abiding taxpayer” is just a proud house slave
That is the ultimate reality. We also need to stop creating laws according to how we want the world to be as opposed to how the world actually is.
Any law contrary to the Constitution is NULL AND VOID!
cute thought but no one has the balls to do so. if the founding fathers telleported here from the past, within a week they would be planning to overthrow the current government and fix it to how it used to be. but they would be cald radicals and domestic terrorists and you so-called "patriots" wouldent even help them because you dont want to be arrested or loose your lives going up against the governemnt
Props to your interviews. You kept it real, let people speak and didn’t ridicule. Excellent.
I live in Canada, where the law abiding citizens are forbidden to protect themselves from the criminals, who, of course, are all armed.

Student she does not have any real world experience yet. As time goes by your thinking starts to reflect your life experiences. Young people would be crazy to vote Republican. People over 50 would be crazy to vote democrat. Time and real world changes perspective🤔🤔
What all of them miss is the restrictive effect of having so many people owning guns has on government. They think in terms of fighting the government and winning but just like society as a whole the more people who own guns the less likely the government is to overreach.

"You want all privately held guns turned over to the Trump administration?" was the question I asked a couple of years ago. My liberal family members were like...ya...you have a point. I am happy you took my argument and ran with it more widely. The deeper point is that the National Guard is directly controlled by the President due to a Defense Authorization law from the 1980s which eliminated all state militias in direct contravention of the US Constitution. The states are supposed to have an independent military as a check and balance against too much Federal military power. See Federalist Papers.
The founders were adamantly against standing federal armies. You'd think the leftists against endless war would be in favor of this model where the individual was in control of whether the threat is great enough to leave family and hearth to fight.
It all went sideways straight out of the gate with Washington and the Whiskey Rebellion.
Those who wish to use violence against others can only be held in check with the threat - or use - of violence. This is why the Second Amendment is not and will never become obsolete. Until human nature fundamentally changes, which history proves unlikely if not impossible, violence will always be necessary to defend freedom.
ALL of history tells us that people will ALWAYS try to take things from other people if they feel they can do so without consequences. Human nature will NEVER fundamentally change. That's just crazy talk.

@@fjb4932 remember. The Civil War WAS fought to give slaves the right to own firearms. It was fought to give those slaves the same rights as every other american. Thats why democrats do everything they can, to deny black Americans the second amendment. They can't use their old tactics or racism. So they've adjusted to say no one can have firearms.
I have a theory most people who want to ban and confiscate guns think this for one of three reasons:
1. They believe the State should wield absolute and unchallenged power, and armed individuals are a threat to this end.
2. They fear what they do not understand and cannot accept not all violence is inherently evil.
3. They struggle with their own violent urges, or are terrified they are capable of uncontrolled violence, and assume everyone else in society must have this same internal struggle.
When I hear someone say that people don't need certain weapons or firearms, I am them "what gives you or anyone else the right or authority to decide how or to what degree I can protect my family?".
When I hear someone ask why do you need certain weapons or firearms, I tell them "it's not about what I need right now, it's about what I might need tomorrow".

That being said, this was a great video.
I'd agree execpt for the assumption that "all" want better for the country. A significant amount of people want to keep the name "America" but change every law and societal norm. They may believe their changes are for the better but they're wrong. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
A part of me believes that the main reason that the interviewees were so calm emotionally was because the verbal tone of the interviewer was ALSO calm, non-triggering and non-gaslighting! THAT makes a BIG difference in having a real and thoughtful conversation.

Another Line of Questions to ask:
Do Criminals Follow current gun laws or Ignore them?
If we create New Gun Laws will the criminals Start Following those?
If law abiding citizens already follow the laws, then why do they need MORE laws about guns?
I feel like all that needs to be pointed out is that murder is already illegal. What matters the tools used to do it?
Genius
Ding ding ding
@@even1313there's no denying the fact that having a firearm makes it much easier to commit violent crimes with, it's been that way since firearms we're invented. However, criminals need to be punished severely for committing violent crimes regardless of the tools they use. If all guns were banned then violent crimes with guns would drop, but violent crimes would still happen. We have an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and the tools we use to protect those rights are enshrined in the bill of rights, meaning that they're basically untouchable. Our government is rogue, constantly infringing on our rights, yet we stand by and let them do it. What did Benjamin Franklin say about security over liberty?
@@Brett235 UK has tight gun laws. violent crime is on the increase. sweden has strict gun laws, violent crime is on the increase. crime is proportionaly higher in places with strict gun laws. remove the ability to defend yourself legaly, you become less risky to criminals and crime will increase. gun deaths probobly wont drop but crime will decrease. and with decrease of crime the drop in gun deaths will follow.
When you mention sharing your car with the state it brings to mind the fact that the second you sign up for a driver's license or registration on your personal vehicle that you have fully paid for then you are giving partial ownership of your vehicle to the state
True that but the state violates contract laws of full disclosure committing fraud on the people. No one would willingly give ownership to the state by registration with full disclosure.
I love how people throw out “nuance” as an escape tactic when they see the logic trapping them into a corner.

It's a mix of hopium, misinformation and concern about the future.

You end up with people too disinterested and militant to learn about 2A or appreciate it, and the politicians and the evening news only make the narrative they know more entrenched.
YUP!
I'm smiling because "Do you trust the government?" is always my prime, go-to question when conversationally people challenge and condemn US legal gun ownership.
Because it's the logical question to place. If one trusts the government and come from a place where the governement is representing the people and nation appropriately. When there is distrust, it creates a need to defend oneself.... next would be a second logical question, would you be more in support of gun control if the government was actually chasing and removing those in possession of illegal , ie stolen or fully automatic firearms..however the government comes for lawful owners, not addressing the criminal element in possession.
The majority always fail to realize they are the defenders of their lives and so the majority of them stay as sheep among wolves.
This makes people easily controlled by both criminals and government. Then what happens is both the Government and criminals are not in favor of the law abiding citizenry. It’s always one-sided. It always has been this way.

Gun Control History
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century: 56 million. Now you understand why, in the words of Justice Joseph Story (appointed to the Supreme Court by James Madison), "The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."

You can even do it when there is no fire. The problem arises when a reasonable person would believe it and can cause a panic.
Even the arguments about hate speech fall into this. That kind of speech can be limited based on the harm it directly causes. Making racist comments is about different from inciting or advocating for racist violence. We can see it in a liberal direction with that school protest against the female swimmer. The college's dean even praised the students for their peaceful protest. Meanwhile, they filmed themselves chasing and beating this woman through the halls, and then the police had to sequester her in an adjacent room for three hours because the crowd wouldn't let her leave. These people viewed their physical violence as free speech since they consider it the consequences of the young woman's hate speech. Which goes back to the point of who decides what's hate speech. The dean decided the group's actions weren't hate speech, and she faced backlash for condoning a mob.
Speech should never be limited.
Consensus does not always equal correct.
Just look at when just one man believed the world was round vs everyone else; just one man believed the earth revolved around the sun, and he was correct.

Awesome video and topic. One point I try to drive home with my friends and family is reminding them that the “state” or “government” is not some man behind the current. It’s literally our community members who run for these positions. We need to hold them accountable and vote them out when they dont produce good results. Vs allowing them to become career politicians who just become more corrupt over time.
What you’re doing is wonderful, educating and training the public about gun and self-defense. I went from anti-gun to not anti-gun when I started to understand the value and the cost of freedom. I was naive to think that the government is always protecting its citizens in a civilized democratic peaceful western world. Not so anymore. Now I totally understand why civilians should have the right to bear arms if they choose to do so. We should respect our Constitution.
I’m just afraid to use one or have one at home. It’d take tremendous of self-control, especially when emotion runs wild. Besides, that’s one more item in the house with potential lethal accident to worry about. We did have a home robbery at gun point, but that didn’t prompt us to get a gun or training. We just beefed up our security system and be more aware of our surroundings.
I agree education and training should be more accessible. But then again, if I see so many training places popping up, I’d think we are preparing for a war, like in Israel where even women are carrying guns. My anxiety would go up even more I’m afraid.
Anyway, I’m all for freedom of choice.
Spot on. An additional question that I've found useful is, "If you were in an area where violence is being mercilessly committed against innocent people, what would you do?" The response universally invloves calling the police. The follow-up point is to help them realize that they actually want good guys with guns to be on the scene to end the violence... but they just want them there *after* people have already been injured or killed.
It's like there's this sheepish naive trust that a government hired goon with a gun is somehow more trustworthy than any other person. I don't care how many background checks and such a person goes through, a person is still a being influenced by emotions and the potential for their own gain. Give said person power and authority and the potential for abuse is even higher than the average person.
The follow-up question to "call the police" is "what if they ARE the police?"

These videos are edited. Also it’s a knowledgeable person talking to an unknowledgeable person on a specific topic. Then asking what their opinions are. Then hitting them with gotchas so we can sit back and enforce our confirmation bias. Guns in this country are complicated. If they weren’t, then it wouldn’t be such a hot button topic. Failing to recognize the other sides point of view or the problems we face, is what makes us further divided.
I like this guy he even pushes people who agree with him to explain themselves as well
My family hardly ever owned guns at all ( my grandpa owned one rifle and one shotgun for hunting) until 1999 when a family member of mine my uncle was attacked and murdered. Then my grandpa and my dad started buying guns and teaching the family to use them responsibly. Everybody who owns a firearm should learn how to use it but everyone should have one and learn.
A soft answer turns away anger. Great job bro!
Great job Ranger! Shall not be infringed.
In four words, I can sum up the reason that the people, not the government, should control the firearms: Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler
They think it can't happen here in America, but look at how fast the left woke lunatics are taking over. They would snuff us all out if they could.
perfect
Biden doesn't even deserve to be added to that list.....
Add Trump. The most insane mentality incompetent hate filled human to live today.
You forgot Pot, Amin and Castro.
The people should always be the ones with the power.
I love when John does these videos I hope he keeps em up
I like this video. Its cool to see that you met people in a less inflamatory situation and setuo the questions in a way that people felt comfortable enough to have an actual conversation and not just start screaming or calling names.
When these people say "the government should limit who gets these guns and provide/make sure they have the proper training to use them". . . please then ask them if they are in favor of the NRA, an organization created by Congress to teach people in this country the proper use of firearms. I can't wait for the responses.
An organization founded by retired military officers that saw how unprepared most union soldiers to handle a rifle. They wanted to improve marksmanship. Hopefully to solve the problem.
I was in favor of the NRA a few tears a go but I think they’ve been bought off
Still not as bad as the ATF.
If the NRA would get back to focusing on that, instead of being focused on generating money for rich backers then it would really help.
Of the people for the people by the people. Always and forever
Wow, most college profs. Try to convince all their students that we are a democracy, and that the government should support us all. What a breath of fresh air🤗
We are not a democracy, it’s not a breath of fresh air that they are trying to press that idea on their student. We are a constitutional republic. There is a major differences between the 2.
@@apollo3679 I believe that you may have missed the point here. Rich H was stating that it is a breath of fresh air because THIS professor isn't one of those Left leaning indoctrination clowns. This professor has good common sense.
I only hope that the professor doesn't get cancelled because of his views. The institutions of higher learning seem to be socialist/communist indoctrination centers these days. A show of hands, who wants to earn a degree in gender studies??? 🤡💩
" most college profs. Try to convince all their students that we are a democracy" - So does FOX News
I used to say felons with a history of violence shouldn’t be able to have a gun but that’s more a reflection of my distrust of the prison system’s inability to properly or effectively rehabilitate people. So we should probably fix that and our justice system.
I love this conversation about logic and emotion. It’s a fatal flaw (or intent?) in the fundamental teachings in schools today. If children are not taught to be logical, they grow up to become sheep following liberal emotional doctrine.
Indeed, or sheep that follow the equally fanatical religious doctrine often found on the right.
And this is why we Homeschool
Big pleasure hearing you again . Thanks regards , bye .
Thanks for all you do for the issue of the second amendment.
Thank GOD people are starting to see how STUPID it is to give up our freedoms. Especially the second amendment
What’s stupid … is to think that the constitution can’t be changed …
Dogmatism is dangerous.
If you can’t asses something and determine if it’s a good idea or a bad idea and change it … your on a bad road
Oh by the way which God are you thanking?
Unfortunately, people are still voting democrat.
@@YT-User1013 Are they really? Or do the "numbers" just say that they are.
I don't think of it as so much of a freedom but a responsibility.
@@YT-User1013****** liberals
I love your stuff you're so full of good energy and even let people talk that have different opinions. All about spreading good since evil is terrible
He is a Christian conservative at peace and so it shines. Compare him with the angry, woke left.
I’m glad you pointed out that your approach greatly influenced the tone of the conversation.
Philosophical talks are your strong suit, John. Please more of that
British Guy Living In the U.S. here
Just bought my first gun, God Bless America!
Edit to explain why: To say that we shouldn't have the right to carry a gun, when criminals simply ignore the laws and do so anyway, is absurd and would lead to a position in which only the bad guys have guns, and the good guys have no recompense or ability to defend themselves against violent armed criminals.
So (much to the dismay of my fellow Brits, I'm sure), I love guns, I love the right to bear arms, and I love the values America was founded on.
If a colonist didn't have guns we would still be kissing the king's ring.
Welcome. Help keep America free
Yeah, you must be British. You are aware that there is no country named America. Not one country in the world. Zero, zip, nada.
America is the name of a continent. Yes, one continent and not two with an imaginary subcontinent called Central America. And this continent was named that in 1507, hundreds of years before this country became a country. There are 35 countries in America and they are all part of America and everyone who is native of any of those countries are Americans.
The wonderful thing is that more and more Americans in many countries are waking up and reclaiming their rightful title of Americans and America for their continent.
Are you not American then? You have an opinion, with some facts thrown in, not in all sense true in that notion. Why would you want to tear another person down for their beliefs?Or something that was, to you, "not" factual. Who cares! He is grateful to be here. And he wasn't incorrect! Are you? Shut up. Who cares about what you think? Its not incorrect to say "America". Yes, it is United States...but of AMERICA. Big freaking deal. A lot of people not from "America", call it America. Even U.S. citizens call it America. It IS in the country's title. "United States OF AMERICA". Go bully someone else.
Thank you for your thoughts! We appreciate that you want to live here for the freedoms we have! I agree with the below statement..help keep it free! You moved here for a reason, ignore the hypocrites and nay sayers... keep up with your good thoughts and actions!
Crazy number of people who want free speech ie first amendment limited or controlled. Ten years ago I would never have seen that coming.
NONE of them are able to see that _their_ speech could be curtailed. It's always other viewpoints and ideas they disagree with, not their own.
@@YouveBeenMiddled you know the old saying about the pendulum swings one way …. Swings back the other way. If there is any justice in this world ….. they will eventually see their free speech curtailed.
@@robertkeime4907 If there's any justice in this world they won't get their way to begin with so there's no reason for the pendulum to swing back. Vengeance isn't always justice
It really is crazy. They're Marxist scum whether they know it or not.
@@robertkeime4907hopefully not and we come out of this with nobody having their speech curtailed. Even the soy latte urbanites w some reaaalll bad takes.
Great comments on the difference between civilian skills and military life. As an old SDM nothing prepared me for CCW. As for the best place to carry for a big guy, after 40 years of CCW for personal reasons IMHO with my GP100 or 9mm Commander it's 1:00, appendix carry. I carried for years at 3 & 4, I was always concerned with the weapon being out of my peripheral vision or the access to it and I felt in a T shirt it always printed. I have carried at the 1:00 now for 10 years and anything I carry, either a full size 1911 or my 4" 629 just disappear. I will admit it's not for the novice or someone that doesn't practice but it's secure and very fast.
This is the generation that was taught what to think not how to think in school. That’s how we arrived at “I emote there for I am”
Give women leadership and this is what happens. Everytime. Our ancestors had this figured out a long time ago.
The disconnect of logic explains why so many people vote for promise and not for performance.
The only thing that stops an evil man with a gun with evil intent is a good guy with a gun with good aim!
Such a great point on how bills are convoluted with anything and everything and they’re not topical so you can’t hold Congressmen accountable. Excellent point.
