Gun Control: Examining the Second Amendment Debate

so given that it's not an absolute right that there are certain weapons you can't have why not add assault weapons and semi-automatic guns?

the right to bear arms is an absolute right it's the only constitutional amendment that has literally stated in it shall not be infringed

it is absolutely an absolute right

absolutely an absolute right

no one's saying ban your gun we're saying regulate them like background checks on every single gun

now how would you enforce that?

okay if we're gonna suggest a solution like background checks on every single gun. Now, how would you enforce that? Okay.

If we're gonna suggest a solution, at least have something that's enforceable. It's not like the inner city in like Chicago is so different from like the inner city in like Louisiana. Right. It's the same shit, the same problems.

So if we understand that, and they're happening in these very specific areas, why the fuck are we still talking about gun control? We've got to stop giving this power to the government to basically treat a constitutional right like it's a privilege. We don't do this with any other constitutional right except for the second amendment. And ironically, second amendment is the only constitutional right that gives the most power to the people.

If there are fewer guns out there, people attempt to as much, but they don't succeed as often because it's absolutely not true. That's yes. No, that is absolutely true. You see the changes in gun ownership.

If there was a direct correlation between the number of guns that were available and we would be leading the world. Research that just came out that demonstrated that armed legal gun owners actually do a better job at stopping active shooters than uniformed police officers. They're inherently attributing a negative character to firearms.

Outright, right?

Yes, because lots of people die at their- at firearms. That's why I do that.

The same could be said of cars, right? But you're not advocating banning cars or limiting people's access to vehicles.

You can't take- I mean-

And if you're not gonna address the real issue, shut the fuck up about guns. There you go. real issue. Shut the fuck up about guns, because you don't care. You have a totally different motivation for why you're pushing it. It has nothing to do with actually

saving lives. I don't want me protecting my life to be a competition. I want it to be as lopsided as possible. Because I'm not the one threatening someone's life. I'm going about

my life and someone's trying to interfere with that. And so I want to be in the best position possible to guard against that. Should you be able to buy a tank? You can't own a tank in

America.

So you should you think the public should have tanks?

You can own tanks in America.

So that's okay to have tanks.

I don't have a problem with it.

Do you think it's a good idea to give anybody the right to have a

tank and blow up cities? base of gun owners is basically a laundry list for all the criminals to go out and find the people who have guns that they can go and steal. So the criminals want the list so they can go and take the guns and the government wants the list so that they can go at some point and take the guns as well.

You scream fire in a crowded movie theater that's not protected speech.

Those same limitations apply to the Second Amendment. From the Second Amendment standpoint I can't murder anybody with my gun. Same way you can't yell fire in a movie theater. If you do, you go to jail. If I use a firearm to kill someone, I go to jail. And they're ready to die for these students, so why not put them in a position to fight for them?

Because they're teachers.

You're absolutely right, but the moment somebody walks into that classroom with You're absolutely right, but the moment somebody walks into that classroom with the gun and starts shooting at kids, they don't have an option.
