Mmm... I have a tough time saying that violence in various media of games, movies or just ingesting horrific violence in online videos of executions etc have ZERO effects on crime rates. Similarly I have a hard time saying showing sex and sexuality in a very frivolous manner doesn't helps contribute to higher unwanted births, STDs etc. We're impressionable creatures and we have sex and violence deeply ingrained in us all by nature. By constantly feeding our minds on these things we begin to shape our thought process and eventually our hearts so that when a situation arises, we're more likely to lean into a regretful sexual encounter or violence as a first reaction. Violent media isn't all to blame, the parenting sucks, too many hours are required for parents to be at work away from their kids to make a living and that makes it soooooooo much easier to be raised by media of overtly violent and sexual natures.

@hamschh 4 жыл бұрын

video games are one of the many moving parts that causes people's minds to want to murder. If talking about percentage, it's probably like 1% of the problem. The mind is complicated and we do not fully understand it yet. But i am sure media, movies, video games all play a role in the development of a mass murderer. Should we censor it? No. Tons of people play video games and do not kill people.

He uses very effective tactics, but that's all they are, debate tactics. It's not winning an argument, it's executing a strategy to present yourself as superior. It's all based in talking points and anecdotes with no true foundational principle. It's just annoying.

***** You do realize that comparing crime in Europe to America is kind of ridiculous. These countries don't have nearly the gang problem we have, serious drug problem, the amount of guns on the streets, overall violence, high crime, ect. To the best of my knowledge these countries in Europe didn't have nearly as high of gun crime before the ban and they didn't have the overall crime we have. To cut down on gun crime/go after serious criminals/crack down on violent people with mental illness would you support stop and frisk, allowing government officals to look at anyone's medical records, and allow cops to search personal property without a warrant or probable cause?

***** The European countries with strict gun laws that you're talking about don't make it "a little harder" for someone to own a gun they make it almost impossible for legal gun owners to get a gun.

@neondeion12 10 жыл бұрын

***** These European countries make it extremely hard for legal gun owners to own a gun and you have to have a great reason to own one. The vast majority of these mass shooters don't steal their guns from their parents the majority get their guns legally by pass a background check. I'm guessing when you bring up "assault weapons" you mean guns like the semi-automatic AR-15's instead of the actual meaning? Semi-automatic long rifles have always been pretty available yet they are rarely used in crime and are responsible for less than 300 deaths a year ( which includes all hunting rifles and all long rifles). So I'm guessing you don't support stop and frisk and allowing cops to search personal property without a warrant? The gang shootings and urban crime are a much bigger problem than these mass shootings. The countries gun laws you are citing don't make getting a gun a "slightly inconvenience" they make sure very few own guns and the people who do own guns are usually the ones living out in the middle of no where/farmers.

It is quite a stretch to think that the founders did not intend for individuals to own firearms outside of a military application, especially considering that they relied on it when they rebelled against the British.

If the founding Fathers could have conceived of the idea of a tank, they would have spent all day drinking whiskey and driving around the forest shooting at each other. A high school friend had this great idea to buy old beater cars and drive them around town randomly, when you see yer fren POW!!

One of my favorite O&A moments was when Patrice O'neal was on talking about home invasions and said how funny it would be if someone broke in and killed Anthony in his sleep. I have been hunting since I was 12 and used to spend entire summers murdering squirrels at my grandparent's walnut ranch and I will always prefer pump action shotguns and bolt-action rifles over any semi-automatic weapon. AR-15s are fun to shoot at the range, but to use them to hunt is a douche move.

@James Barker lol... no, it's a reaction to your willful misinterpretation. The point I'm making is that the design of a product matters in the laws that pertain to it's use. The extremity of a weapon should be regulated by law accordingly. The design of a car is not, and should not be regulated as a weapon.

i lived in a all black area one of the only few white people. helped a black woman, her boyfriend was beating the crap out of her and stole her legal gun. talked to detectives put him away. the police warned me of his violent background. i had seen 4 home invasions on my street in 10 years. 30 rounds isnt enough. i bought a ar15 and walked around with 2 9mm. always. put warning signs all over my yard. my house turned into a fortress just to sleep at night. you absolutely need 30 rounds. and you never know when a gun is going to jam. i had a 38 revolver for just that reason. i was spending so much money on guns and ammo i moved eventually. but if i didnt sit on my porch with a ar 15 next to me flaunting 2 guns hanging off my chest you best believe black people would of preyed on me. ive listened to their conversations outside my house on my security camera microphones

@bennmurray25 10 жыл бұрын

Yeah but that's because Anthony isn't educated on the subject. Do you think America has the largest middle class by accident? Or is the wealth retention correlated with our ability to defend our property with weapons that resemble the arms of law enforcement? (Think about it. Look at every other country on the planet compared to ours.)

Bennmurray25 - You think America having the largest middle class is somehow connected to gun ownership? That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

@bennmurray25 10 жыл бұрын

Josh R I said gun ownership helps us retain our wealth. Owning guns does not produce wealth if that's what you mean. Silly.

@joshr920 10 жыл бұрын

Well it doesn't, gun ownership has nothing to do with wealth what so ever. The reason the US has the largest middle class is because you're the largest 1st world country by far, you have over double the population of Japan which is the second highest.

@bennmurray25 10 жыл бұрын

Josh R I never said firearms generate wealth. They help a man or woman defend their wealth and property. A high rate of wealth retention creates a large middle class. If an entity steals my wealth and property, I'm no longer in the middle class. You're a complete moron if you cannot understand why people choose to own firearms.
