The pro gun people will never understand and you'll never change their minds.
-
How about NOT risk people being shot by 5 year olds and give them to more trained policemen?

Edited by Ryuki: 11/20/2015 2:33:10 PMI think that its funny that NED LUKE, voice actor for a GTA V character with a VIOLENT backstory is the one selling the guns He's Michael if you didn't recognize the face.. and the voice..

Sounds a lot like the guy who voiced Michael in GTA lol.

When I went to walmart, and was interested in buying rat poison, I learned about a 2 year old who killed himself with it. I also learned about a 19 YO mother who poisoned her husband with it. Then I wanted drain-o, and heard the dark history about drain-o deaths. Then I wanted some dishwasher tablets.... When I left walmart, it really opened my eyes. Killing rats, and having shiny dishes just isn't worth it. It really came out of left field for me. I know it's my right to buy that stuff, but I think it's better for everyone if we opt out.

Any object can be a weapon. No exceptions.
-
I stopped taking you seriously when you were more focused on someone's name than their argument.
-
I stopped when it showed the statistic for increasing homicide and suicide. Homicide or self defense? When you kill someone it's considered murder automatically. Most statistics are wrong anyway.

Yeah, because it was the gun. Think about why it really happens. If it's intentional, it's because the person is very mentally sick. If it's accidental it's because the gun owner was irresponsible. I've lived my entire life in the house with several guns. Believe it or not, when I was a child I never opened up the safe and shot my family because they were responsible about keeping those guns away from me. When I grew up I did not grab the keys to the safe and go on a shooting rampage. Pretty crazy because guns are [i]soooo[/i] allegedly dangerous. Get the liberal gun "control" propaganda out. And the people who support it, to. Preferably to some remote island.

That whole shop was fake, and none of the guns in that shop are real because most would be illegal in the place it's in (NYC). It's a fake ploy and is a cheap way to push a agenda. Not to mention, everyone in that room buyers included are actors. Also Tyson is using suicide and gang violence to back up his numbers. Both are two different demons when it comes to gun deaths. He's also wrong with the Americans died in wars, because 600,000 Americans (Confederates included) died in the Civil War, and 400,000 in WWII alone. Comparing war deaths to gun violence is just wrong, ESPECIALLY when you get your numbers wrong.

I think I saw that on the end of Russell Howard's good news
-
We should spread the wealth of news if you don't agree with the video your entitled to feel that way not entitled to make others feel like shit over your option
-
I've seen this video before and it's a stupid, pointless video. All they aim to do is appeal to people's emotions. It offers no value to the debate about firearms
-
Fake store, fake guns and fake customers. Nothing to see here. - Der

Edited by OurWildebeest: 11/19/2015 1:50:52 AMA little history. Until 1969, gun sales were largely unregulated. It was common to buy guns at hardware stores. There was no background check and no waiting period. The murder rate in 1969 was 7.3. It had been trending up, coincidental with the hippie movement, greater drug use and the postwar population boom. In 1969, the Gun Control Act established the FFL system and federal background checks. 1970 murder rate - 7.9. 1971 - 8.6 1972 - 9.0 1973 - 9.4 1974 - 9.8 So what is the lesson we took from this? The same as always ... "We need more gun control!!" If we sold guns like we sell hammers, no background check or paperwork, real-world evidence tells us it will not raise (and may possibly lower) the murder rate. But reducing the murder rate isn't the true purpose of gun control, so it doesn't really matter. People who don't bother learning much will continue assuming "more guns more murders," and hardcore activists will continue to parse and spin data. Meanwhile, the real purpose (greater government power) continues rolling along.

I store mine in a safe that's locked up an hidden from any youngsters. The video focus on the gun, not on the people who owned them. If you're not responsible enough to keep you're guns in a secure area, then you shouldn't have one to begin with. Video blames the guns for humans problems, humans always want to blame anything other then themselves. I think you should have to be trained how to safely store and use a firearm, you should have to have a mental health examination and a extensive background check. (There's already background checks, but they need to be more thorough.

Edited by Onion Beetle Fan: 11/18/2015 12:23:33 AMWhen buying stuff you are unilaterally aware of the risk associate with it. So, I don't know what to tell ya.
-
Who cares. I'd still buy
-
I hate this video, it is so one side. The guy behind the counter has never had a class about firearm safety. The way he handles most of those is irresponsible.
-
"Little known fact that this gun has never been fired" Not [i]every[/i] gun has a history.
-
Ignorant video. It places the blame of gun violence on the gun, not the shooter. Not to mention the issues with the stories he tells.
-
Edited by Nashtalia: 11/19/2015 1:06:01 AMguy selling guns sounds familiar.
-
What's even funnier is its the guy who plays Michael from GTA V selling. It's amazing, like wtf had the idea to hire him as the guy selling guns in the video? Sooooo -blam!-ing retarded! But sooooo funny
-
Is this even legal shouldn't those guns be in some police vault for evidence or something?
