I grew up in San Bruno. It has changed so much since i lived there though. I wasnt even aware YT HQ was there to be honest. Was a great place in the 80's as a kid though.

Kool aid?
It's the media's fault why I have a problem with gun violence? And insecure, ignorant, idiots? And morons with hard-ons for guns? And low intellect fu*ks with guns thinking that particular condition is a match made in heaven?

It's not possible for me to have these opinions otherwise? Interesting...

Huh. You must be right. All better now. Thanks man!

High powered guns and 2A purists are dumb as shit. In what ever ways they hold on to continuing to draw breath (I will afford that that takes a bit of brain power) it is immediately erased by their need for phallic symbols to represent their lack of self awareness and self confidence. Poor little gun toting imbeciles. That they have to strap confidence and worth on outside of their bodies and minds is pathetic and weasely.

Whup would ya look at that, I guess it didn't take. This kool aid tastes grrrreat! Which is surprising because have you tasted that shit recently? I have because it was the wild card ingredient in a cook off my friends and I did for a themed dinner party one night. Shit's nearly impossible to make taste good but somehow, some way this No Stupid Guns For The Stupids Who Want 'Em Kool Aid Flavor is my jam.

...DAMMIT! I shoulda made a jam with the Kool Aid!

Any way, thanks for weighing in with useless, meaningless words outcho "mouth". Gave me another opportunity to call gun nuts and 2A fu*kwads stupid! I love jumping on every opportunity to do so. Good times!

Question: do you think my passion is as BIG as their passion for their disembodied penises?


All assumptions based on your own ignorance and stereotyping.. I think you just read titles of articles instead of actually reading anything and feel you're educated. While everyone else is SO STUPID!

It is a human RIGHT in this country like your freedom of speech that you use to spout off emo high school BS. It would be a shame if you lost your 1st and 4th as well? There are countries when you become 18 its mandatory you serve in the military. In other countries you would probably get arrested for the shit you have said on here but everyone is so stupid compared to you...

You might just want to put yourself in a history class then start looking at other countries that don't have all the basic human rights you have here..

The right to bear arms is a civil right. Not a human right. There's a huge distinction between the two.

Human rights are those granted just by existing as a human being; civil rights are those granted to you beyond those human rights through legal documents like the Constitution. Guns are not a basic, natural part of human existence; a country like Canada is not violating human rights by treating guns as purely optional.

It's kind of hilarious, actually... you got all sanctimonious (and childish at the same time, no less) while making it patently obvious that you don't have a grasp of what rights are. Before you admonish someone to go to history class, you might want to take a high school civics class first.

I answered your question in the other thread. If you don't like it, that's your problem.

Yours is 100, 100 percent of gun deaths is acceptable.
No you actually didn't say what % was acceptable. Here are your two responses neither of which said what your number is.

0% intentional would be the optimal goal.

Of course accidents happen, so 0% altogether is unrealistic.

So reading the entire thread is definitely daunting, ill state this again, I dont want to see more firearm regulations. Guns dont fire themselves, so people are the variable wrt gun violence. I haven't advocated anywhere to restrict what available guns there are.

I'd rather approach the responsibility from the people angle, as it's our personal and societal responsibility to look at the problem from the perspective of what can be corrected or changed to reduce gun violence.
What's acceptable to me is a reduction of events like we're seeing in the last 20 years, where scores of people are gunned down by people with obvious mental health issues, where those people obtained weapons under current law without issue. And a country that addresses the variable in the gun violence equation like adults.

And you threw in a lie for good measure. I can assure you I don't believe all gun deaths are acceptable. I have proposed what I think could be done to help reduce it and what would still be constitutional.

EDIT:fixed typo

See, this stupid little game this country plays now every time someone gets their 15 minutes on TV... What side are they on! Usually no one speaks until that is known though...

The narrative that seems to matter here is that, still, any fucking nut job can get their hands on a gun...

No the narrative is that responsible gun owners don't shoot people...until they are irresponsible. /eye roll

Sorry lack of sleep since my toddler is waking me up.. I'll go deeper with what I meant. Human rights protected by Constitution..

ROFLMAO!! An animal rights activist goes on an attempted murder spree. Did she not realize that humans are animals?

Seriously though, she was suffering from what I spoke of on other threads. Youtube is actively trying to shut down alternative views. She was pissed because youtube was demonetizing her.

I suspect a decade in the future the only content on youtube will be corporate swill.

That's still incorrect.

The right to bear arms is strictly a civil right. It never was and never will be a human right. If you want actual human rights, the UN has a handy list of them. There's some overlap in the Constitution, but the document is not strictly about human rights (otherwise, you wouldn't have things like the since-repealed prohibition amendment).

Yet another crazy non conservative shooter, but we'll blame conservatives anyway.

I blame the vast number of guns and ease of access to said guns in this country. Political nuttery of the shooter doesn't matter. But there is one political persuasion (hint: not liberal) that overwhelmingly appears to oppose any attempts to address the issue of access to guns.

So I guess we can still blame conservatives.

Funny that that is always the argument when demonstrating “responsibility” is not a requirement to own a gun.

Care to summarize the linked video? Or are you just here to spam?

It's not even five minutes, surely you can watch it?

Summary: Gun grabbers have woken the conservatives. Mid term election polling has shifted more Republican. Going after guns is a losing issue. Arguing with teenagers is a losing issue.

I think you're wrong. I always had the right to self-defense with available tools to achieve that. The constitution didn't grant me that right. The 2A says that the government can't infringe on that right I already had. The BOR puts restrictions on the government not grant rights.

Of course, it's a lie because you say it is. #wortheverydeath fits.

I respond the way I see as reasonable. You get stuck on a number, I get stuck on effective change in a positive direction. Positive being reduced number of intentional gun deaths.

Summary: Parkland movement and calls for gun control = energized conservative voters and momentum for Republicans going into the mid-terms. The longer anti-2A sentiment stays in the media, the better the chances for Republicans to retain or win seats in the House. I think there could be some truth to that, except I would say 80-90% of Democrats do not want any repeal of the 2A (it's a poll question--will have to verify.)

No I get stuck on people answering direct questions put to them if they want to have a discussion. There was nothing to stop you (or anyone) from answering the question and then elaborating if you wanted. I guarantee you that I know myself better than you do. It was a lie.

Prove me wrong.

What's your plan to reduce it?

Not sure how gun control is related to this shooting incident, I don't think an assault rifle, AR-15, etc was used? I'm pretty sure that it is reported she used a handgun, which she then turned on herself at the end. Now, if people are advocating for no guns in the USA, that would be the most retarded suggestion ever. Because it would lead to civil war, which would cause a shit ton more deaths than allowing people to have guns.
