Being new to YouTube I am relieved to find someone who has a command of the English language and can express ones thoughts without using profanity or saying hey man or dude. Refreshing!!!
There's a problem with having a gun and felling safe... And that's the other guy has one too so back to square one again... But that aside i'm not anti gun and couldn't imagine the USA without them! It's like us british not having tea and yellow teeth XD great vids btw :)
But you say the "lucky" people are the ones that live their life without needing them. "luck" implies a minority - and the vast vast majority of people live their life without the need for guns.
How many people die as a result of a gun? How often does that happen?
99.9/100 cases you having a gun would panic the criminal, causing a bigger risk to yourself/the others around you. This just doesn't make any sense to me.
@bruceleefan123 only outlaws would have guns if guns were illegal, drug dealers obviously don't care about the law because their selling drugs which is illegal. Why stop someone who follows the law from defending thrmselves?
Im for Australia, we carnt carry a gun or a knife, i think it sweet how you can carry a Knife and a Gun around, but all my friends agree, that some people need to carry a gun is because of the crime, is that right in American
i believe and do enjoy shooting in England but the rules laws and paper work is far more stricter due to the fact that there isnt a real need for carrying one which you cant at any time you make own one but it mush would has to be used for enjoyment at a shooting range even then there is a lot more paper work and background checks weapon handling tests in order to make sure you can use the weapon in a controlled and safe way that what i believe the US should introduce
people kill people why arm them if you took guns out of out of your country less people would die fact but i believe that special forms of the police should carry guns and obs the army plus the huge gang problem in your country would lessen if the bad guys don't have guns the world becomes a better place all the reports on the news about a mad gun on the run take the gun out of the equation he becomes less dangers
@bruceleefan123 ok. lets say you do outlaw guns. average joe doesnt have one. but, have you learned about alcohol prohabition? do you know whats happening with marijuana prohabition? when those things are/were illegal, crime went UP! these are facts that you can look up. and i believe as do many professionals that if guns are prohibited crime will increase. and if you outlaw guns, who does? the criminals. the outlaws. citizens cant defend themselves police cant defend them selves. outlaws win.
@OgrAdaY well if you look at other country's in Europe gun related crime is way lower then the US by far and if u read all of the two comments i posted it does say that if people like the army and special teams of POLICE which would be allowed to carry guns if something does happen such as gang crime then they would be able to use them if needed to if u need any evidence of not having guns look at Bowling for Columbine
@bruceleefan123 thats a great point thanks for bringing it up. at schools guns are banned. so again the regular good citizen doesnt have a weapon. do you think the kids who were criminals and planned on massacring people that day care if they can have a gun? no because they plan on breaking the law anyway. if their was an armed citizen there he potentially could have stopped the 2 kids when they had killed 3 people but i took the police so long because of the nature of the drive could kill more.
@OgrAdaY are you really saying everyone is a good person ? "the regular good citizen doesnt have a weapon" how is that ? when for every 9 guns10 people could own one in the US FACT that includes children as small as 1 owning a gun do u think its right that a child should own a gun which reminds me what about that little small girl that was killed by her class mate who was how old ? 6 years old and answering your question if they dident have a guns less people would have died FACT
@bruceleefan123 first off, what i said was if you take away the 2nd amendment, then the REGULAR citizen who is GOOD, doesnt break the law and CCW. again you seem to be ignoring my points. understand this. people who legally own guns and legally conceal them arnt the people who are shooting people in cold blood. its the gang bangers. the people who buy a gun for $50 off the street and carry illegally, so you shouldnt be worried about the people legally carrying.
@bruceleefan123 secondly, no children as small as s1 cannot own a gun. i dont know where u got that info. you have to be 18 to own a firearm. next point, the kid who was killed by a classmate wasnt educated about guns and didnt know how to use them so she was probably tring to play with it and got hurt. yes, magically if you could recall every gun in the world, there would be less crime. but thats impossible. making them illegal does not solve the problem it will increase it due to gang bangers
Continue exercising your constitutional rights! Until the Gov. says otherwise, we as law abiding citizens should be allowed to exercise those rights. Damn California laws won't let us CCW or even open carry.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry, the facts are even more horrific:
"For every gun that is used for self-defense, there are 11 guns in homes used for completed or attempted suicides, 7 used in criminal assaults and homicides, and 4 used in unintentional shooting deaths or injuries (Kellermann, 1998, p. 263). In other words, a gun in the home is 22 times more likely to be used to harm someone in the household than to protect them."
@Edekje here is a fact thousands die each year from drunken driving accidents, so ban alcohol or cars, until then let me have the right to own a gun and do whatever I want with it
@cutlerylover Wow that's a nice comparison. in other news, living in new hampshire so i just got my conceal license and my dad got me a 9mm kel-tec pf9. Looking forward to testing it out at the range.
@cutlerylover Though I usually enjoy both your comments and videos, this is a downright stupid comment. Banning cars would severely damage economies around the world, and we're not doing so well as it is. Banning alcohol, wich may seem like a good idea, would lead to heavy protest, riots and let's face it - people would still find a way to get it. Alcohol has been around for thousands of years, mankind will not give up its favorite poison so easily. Feel free to like guns, but they ARE dangerous
People have been killed with bats, knives, swords, axes, hammers, cars, ropes, frying pans, and probably tinker toys.
Let's ban everything and live in a sweet, sweet, joyous commune singing Kumbaya around the campfire toasting s'mores. Let's let government protect us. Ridiculous.
@Edekje No one really keeps records of stabbing deaths, BUT in Illinois in the county i live in (near Chicago), MORE people, i mean TWICE the number of people are killed with knives then firearms. In fact, 76,000 people die from automobile related HOMICIDES (IE DUI, wife runs down cheating husband so on and so on) each year. Suddenly, your 31,000 looks kinda..... small. Guns dont kill people, guns are just a tool. Take them away and humans adapt. So what now, ban all cars and ride bikes to work?
@Edekje Millions of lives are saved a year, documented, for guns pulled in self defense. No shots even needed. I've kept a gun in my house for years, loaded, and wow, that 22 times thing seems like propaganda out the wazoo. :)
The "push shove" example is a bit trickier that you make it out to be. A few states have "stand your ground" laws meaning you're not required to run away from confrontation. The idea being don't start something unless you want to maybe get shot.
Then there is the "my life was in danger" argument. If you're a 120 pound dude and a 300 pound guy starts punching you...it's clearly not a fair fight (unless you're ex marine) and you have reasonable belief that he can kill you so you can draw.
i think of guns as a art form of mechanisms, but anyway I go by the saying "better to have and not need than to need and not have" I would rather rely on myself than someone even 2 minutes away.
i live in jersey right near Atlantic city and i don't carry a gun nor do anyone i know but the cops that i know carry a gun my sister does carry mace tho
i just wanted this out there lawls i rememeber once when i was in the 5th grade i was in my friends house and he jumped a bit and i was sensitive to a lot of things not feelings but sensitive as in how well i feel certain movements(not sexual) and it was funny cause when he jumped i ran down and yelled EARTHQUAKE!!!! :3
I don't think being concerned about the people who carry legally is a jsutifiable position to take. It's the people who carry illegally you should be worried about. Knowing that I am basically surrounded by people who carry legally doesn't make me feel less safe.What makes me feel unsafe is how easily illegal firearms can be obtained by criminals.
In my state (as of the year 2000) 1 in every 23 adults over the age of 21 has a concealed carry permit. I was absolutely floored when I discovered this because I had no idea so many people carry. I have never seen someone carrying concealed, and while they are admittedly concealed I would have expected to at least notice a few since I am looking. of course the crime rate here is on the low side of the national average and I don't think it's a conincidence that there are also so many gun owners.
By the way my house in Philly was broken into, back door jimmied open, when my car was not there one day and they thought the house was unoccupied. They took off when they heard someone upstairs because it was just a crackhead looking to steal something, not a murderer. Regardless, the 911 call took 2 1/2 HOURS for police to come by. If you think I'm exaggerating, try living in Philly! I'm damn happy I have I gun! Police will not protect you!
I live in PA too and you're mostly right...EXCEPT for Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the exception, more like Jersey. Technically, the laws are the same as the rest of the state, but defacto, a liberal DA is going to try to get you if you defend yourself with a gun. Meanwhile, the DA's office is a revolving door for the real bad guys. They have about a 10% conviction rate for people who commit violent felonies.
You say you're not paranoid. I can buy that—I wouldn't call you paranoid just because you carry a gun. However, your cited reason for carrying a gun (or a knife) is self-defense. You've also talked about worries about people who break into houses. You've talked about "balancing the odds" against such people. Questions:
Do you prepare for other uncommon (or even rare) contingencies?
Are you comfortable with having the power to kill another in exchange for self-preservation?
@keysignify yes I store food and water in case of a nationwide/worlwide event, such as terrorist attack onj our power/natural disaster/ government collapse, ect...we all prepare some simply keep a spare tire in the car other peopel carry a gun some build a bunker, just depends on how much you prepare....and yes I gave this a lot of thought over a year...I have no prbloem what so ever with killing someone, or multiple people if I feel my life or my loved ones lives are in danger
@cutlerylover Notice I asked about uncommon or rare contingencies. There are other contingencies that we might prepare for, but we do not. Which situations ought we prepare for, and which should we handle with cunning?
The scenario where a person threatens me or my loved ones, I'm not sure that's so easily solved by owning a gun. What about the danger of a gun fight? What about the malfunctioning weapons? What about the psychological aftermath (for your family and yourself)? What about virtue?
@keysignify evetry question you may have about what to do if you had a gun can be countered with what would you do without a gun...Im willing to bet every single person who has been involved in a public shooting not only wishes they had a gun at the time to defend themselves they also think that was never going to happen to them...I can own and carry a gun so why not...
@cutlerylover Ok, then let's approach that head on. What would I do without a gun? I would duck, run, talk my way out of the situation, or get the hell out of there. I have been involved in a shooting. (A few gangstas on my block shot a guy behind the gas station in a public area.) What I did is what everyone should do (even people with guns): I ducked, and I hid. I'm sure this sounds cowardly, but it's pretty effective. I've been in many dangerous situations, and I've lived to tell the tale.
@keysignify yeah lots of people feel the same way, and when a shooting occurs some dont get to be so lucky, they cant run as fast as the bullets flying at them, some get away some dont, do you wish to chance that? Perhaps you get away butr your family member doesn't...then what? suppose a crazy person pulls the gun out 2 feet from you and theres no were to hide, there not looking to rob you there is no talking they went there to die and now your involved...a gun gives you options is the point
@cutlerylover Listen to the chain of thought though: "what if there's no way to run, hide, talk, and you're trapped?" We could continue, "What if I can't get to my gun fast enough?"—or "What if I miss and he shoots me?" We can think of dire situations until we're old and gray. The answer I can give you is: "I'd be screwed."
The point: these "what-ifs" smack of paranoia. I could not live my life in such fear, and I wouldn't want that fear on my hip all day. :(
@keysignify if you dont have a gun you have less options on how tro react to a possible dangerous situation, period, having the gun gives you an advantage, period, no matter what scenarios you come up with, thats a fact not my opinion, if your not interested in more options other than pissing your pants and dragging you scared family under a table and praying to whatever god you beelive in then that doesn't bother me one bit I like options
@cutlerylover First—what are you taking as a fact? Are you saying that "There is no conceivable condition where a gun would be a disadvantage?" Second—Where are you getting these facts? Was there a study done on gun owners and violent scenarios? I do not believe that guns always shift the advantage in the owner's favor: in fact, being a hero with a gun can certainly get you killed. Remember, I'm not claiming that a gun *will* get you killed, but that it *can* get you killed.
@keysignify take opinion out of the equation for a second...if someone has a gun and intends you harm, ebign unarmed gives you a disadvantage, having a gun yourself gives you an advantage without a gun you have little very little options, run away or run at the person hoping your faster than a bullet...or try to talk them out of it (probably not going to work) if you have a gun you have the same options AND the option to defend yourself efficiently...thats fact!
@cutlerylover So…you're saying guns are another option. Again: I'm saying that the option to kill/harm should never be the option. The moment you say, "It's okay for me to kill/harm," you make it okay for a person to kill/harm you. This is a contradiction, as I have said earlier. Also, to advocate (or relish) the gun option seems to indicate a disrespect for life—for human life. In other words, it seems like a flaw of character in certain ways (as I have also said earlier).
@keysignify some people can kill or harm others to save themselves other people cant you just cant you would rather die than hurt someone else, thats fine...I would rather kill than be killed, we are animals survival of the fittest my kind will stick around while your people will die off, if anyone has a flaw it you for being a weak person in deciding to die rather than fight...your not considering situational behavior either, Anyone on the planet even Gandi could be enraged and hurt others
@cutlerylover If Gandhi were enraged and hurt others, he would be wrong none the less. As soon as you say it's okay to harm, you're also saying it's okay for a person to do the same. "Survival of the fittest," just describes what happens when life forms live: they either adapt or die. This doesn't mean that people should kill to survive. You'd have to give me another reason to show that's true (or even relevant)…but you haven't so far.
@keysignify your taking the situation out of context IM not advocating going around shooting people for no reason, ok ok pout it this way...Most US states BY LAW say you have the right to shoot and kill someone if they intend you mortal harm...thats LAW...not opinion, not here say, LAW, how can you argue that?
@cutlerylover I'm not taking anything out of context. I'll grant that you're not advocating going around shooting people (—even though you said, "if I could legally walk into crack houses and gang territory and shoot at will I would"). Even if the law says it's the right thing to do, we still need decide which laws are moral—and we must justify our decisions. I don't need to remind you that there have been many unjust laws on the books, and many laws are still being evaluated for their morality.
@keysignify thats where you go wrong lawe and morality dont go hand and hand at all, laws keep people going it has nothjgin to do with morality as law is not suppose to be based on religion, separation of church and state, whats moral to a ahtiest is not moral to a christian
@keysignify if I smacked you across the face for no reason what would you do? walk away and tell someone? or smack me back...its no different with guns
@cutlerylover In response to the response you gave to keysignify.. I disagree, It is different with guns because if someone slaps you in the face, it'll hurt, sure, but you could just walk away. I would hit back, but you could walk away. HOWEVER, with a gun, BANG your dead. or BANG he's dead. It's a improper comparison.
@TheJoshy1992 its relevant, you fight fire with fire you dont slap the guy with the gun, the idea is you only use your gun in defense, period, no exceptions and no false threats if my gun comes out and points at someone I intend to kill them to save my own life
@keysignify god forbid your ever in a situation like that you'll be hoping a guy like me was there to help, on a side note do you feel cops should not have guns too? what makes them any different? they tokl can just run away from a bad situation? they to can try to talk themselves out of a bad situation they too cna miss and shoot inoocent peopel or not draw their guns fast enough, its happen time and time again they too are peopel and not perfect, I ask you whats the difference?
@cutlerylover God forbid is right. If I were in that situation, and you saved my life, I would be grateful. I would also worry about our mental health (PTSD and Anxiety Disorder are problems—to say the least) and conscience.
The police? That's a good question. I wanted to believe that police are better trained than we are (and better able to make these decisions), but I cannot believe that (—especially after Mehserle shot Oscar Grant in the back). Either way, the answers aren't easy.
@keysignify your suggesting anyone who carries a gun might have an issue with their mental health? you do realize that there are hundreds of thousands of gun toting citizen who walk around you at all times no matter where you go right? Im guessing you didnt know that until now, when I went to go get my concealed carry permit I found out there were 70 applications approved a MONTH for my county alone!!!!!! thats only the legal good people nevermind the criminals guns, more reason to carry my own
@cutlerylover No. I not suggesting that. Be careful how you read me. I am suggesting that if you use your gun in the ways you're preparing for, there are lots of consequences (including detriments to mental health). There are also potential consequences that come with pulling out a gun in the first place.
I also suggest that carrying a gun is indicative of—and reminiscent of—fear, and this fear is indicative of a worse societal condition in the U.S.
@keysignify do you think someone who is in a public shooting seeing people die around them doesn't have mental issues afterwards? I dont see a difference having gun makes...not everyone can kill without remorse, I can its justifiable if I shoot a man trying to kill me, or even a women, I cant kill innocent people and rest easy at night though because Im a normal emotional human being, but a threat is a piece of meat, not a person to me
@cutlerylover Yes, I think there is an anxiety that comes after any dangerous situation.
I simply do not think it's ever permissible to kill another person. Even if you do it out of necessity, I would hope you'd feel some remorse. Your statement, "A threat is a piece of meat, not a person" is strange. You believe that persons cease to be persons once they pose a threat to you (or your loved ones)?
I'm not being (or trying to be) confrontational with the question, I mean it seriously.
@keysignify yes if my life or the life of my loved ones are in danger I cna and will kill another human being or several, whatever it takes, I know they too have families they might be a son or a father, ect, but Im not concerned with their story at that moment, I will kill them and have no remorse for it, knowing it was justified, them or me it will be them everytime, even after the fact when their family is in court looking at me Ill try to explain to them he gave me no choice
@cutlerylover Hm. A grieving family might not accept your reasoning. If you believe it's wrong to kill human beings, and you believe it's alright to kill someone if they have the intent to kill you (or anyone else), what makes you any better than the guy with murderous intent? Your intent would be the same. More over, what makes your life more valuable? Do you think we can forfeit our rights by murdering others? Would be exempt if you did the same in self-defense? This is a very old problem.
@keysignify Im really not concerned with the grieving family to be honest their family members makes their own decisions, it comes down to survival of the fittest, with your logic you can stand and watch your child or parents be killed in front of you without any chance if you stopping the killer because you value every human life? come one, there is no right answer besides I feel my life is worth more than anyone else, everyone thinks thats if you would rather die and not defend yourself, ok
@cutlerylover The conversation does not need to go there—"If you'd rather die and not defend yourself." That's not the case. However: if you think it's okay to kill a person who is trying to kill you, you deserve to die just as much as he does. I suppose the best we can say is, "It is wrong to kill, but I don't want to die either."
(I'm trying to get you to see that the problem here; I'm not trying to convince you not to carry. I understand that most people don't argue this way.)
@keysignify this is a dog eat dog world, I see it as its ok to kill people who serve no purpose on this planet other than to harm people, if I could legal walk into crack houses and gang territory and shoot as my wil I would, but I cant so from a legal standpoint Ill shoot anyone who allows me to do so legally, not good people, no good human being will ever give me a reasons to kill them, from your comments I assume you dont own or carry a gun, can I ask why you rely soley on police to help you?
@cutlerylover Wow. That's pretty extreme. You're okay with the mass slaughter of gangsters, drug dealers, and and drug users? That's more than callous… that's downright cruel. If we desire to gun down our fellow man, how can we consider ourselves good people? I rely on police by default. Their uniform scares most people, and that keeps a lot of trouble at bay. However, I don't trust them: they make too many mistakes, and there is corruption in the average PD. —but what are you asking, really?
@keysignify what Im saying is when seconds count cops are minutes away to rely solely on law enforcement to save you is pretty trusting, I would rather have options, if someone broke into your home and wanted to rape your family you would probably grab a kitchen knife and try to stop them right? so why not event the odds with a gun? why make it harder on yourself to defend against a gun with a lesser capable weapon, and yes I see criminals and drug attics as a waste of life
@cutlerylover I've never had anyone try to do such things to me or anyone I love. I know literally dozens of women who have been raped. It's usually their stepfathers, uncles, family friends, or (supposedly close) male friends who end up raping them. Random abduction is not as common. Why take such heavy precautions against something fairly unlikely? Why not lock your doors and windows? Why not just learn self-defense and escape? Why be prepared (…or even eager) to *kill*?
@keysignify you do carry a spare tire in your car right>? Why its rare to have a flat tire if your careful driving, but we all carry a spare just in case, I can legally carry a gun just in case to so why not? It hasn't hurt anything to do so, you will continue to say needed your gun is rare, why prepare for a rare occasion...why not? it happens to people every single day what makes you immune?
@cutlerylover Right, so why not prepare for other unlikely scenarios? You could, for example, live in Los Angeles and carry around several types of snake venom antidotes just in case rattlers attack you or your loved ones. Never mind the chances of getting bitten by a rattle snake are extremely low in Los Angeles, it's still possible. The point here is that you make an executive decision to prepare for one unlikely scenario over another. Why?
@keysignify if you watch my videos, and the video of people like me you will know we prep, we prepare for MANY unlikey occasions, we stock up on food and water and supplies in case society breaks down or has a period of panic and we cant shop for essentials...I also carry around a bail out bag (in car) with various gear to be prepared for various occasions, I have fire sources, garbage bags, flashlights, food, water, rope, tape, tools, etc...you rely on society which is fine thats your choice
@cutlerylover The problem is: many of those are useful items for likely scenarios. Similarly I carry a bag with the following junk: a food bar, a cleaning cloth, tissues, wet naps, several pens, a water bottle, a mini maglite (I need to upgrade…not the best light), a small first aid kit, binder clips and paper clips. I also carry a mini-Griptilian. I do not, however, carry an ounce of plastic explosive for the off chance I get trapped in cave. Why prepare for *that* scenario beside a phobia?
@keysignify whats interesting here is your making it sound as if Im part of the minority...a paranoid person with a fear of a violent situation in my future...reality will show there are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people who do what I do every single day and there are literally hundreds of armed citizens walking around you every day with guns you dont even know about...
@cutlerylover No…I'm not making it seem like you're a minority. Honestly, I couldn't care less about how common the activity is, and I know it's even more common than you are saying. (Yes, I know there are lots of concealed carry license holders. I know lots of them. I am not one of them.) If you think I'm saying "It's bad that so many people carry guns," you're missing the point.
@keysignify then what is your point other that its not ok to defend yourself? and that the person threatening your life is allowed to because you in return can threaten their life? I would hope you ask this to all the people you personaly know who carry guns because they feel the same way I do
@cutlerylover I really enjoy your videos and I am a huge fan of yours, as well as a subscriber. However, I do think you are part of a minority, hundreds of thousands is barely a fraction of the whole, and I personally don't believe in the use of a gun to kill except in VERY limited circumstances. EX. If your life is being threatened, yes, shoot them, but if someone breaks into your house to steal your tv, or steals your car, I don't think its right for a person to be allowed to shoot them.
@TheJoshy1992 My house was broken in by a 20 year old man when i was 10 years old, he assaulted my mom 12 year old brother and me. If anyone breaks into my house again with an intent to steal or hurt my family I WILL kill them with no remorse for the criminal.
@cutlerylover "people like me you will know we prep, we prepare for MANY unlikey occasions". Forgive me for saying so but you did claim that you weren't paranoid,yes? These actions,of yours say differently. FYI people who are enraged are simply very mad it doesn't mean they will absolutely harm anyone. Speaking about situational behaviors there is no guarantee that those with guns will outlive those who can adapt to any environment. Your weapons will run out of ammunition in time sadly. :)
@cutlerylover What does it say about our character if we are so willing to kill?—if we wish we could go kill all of the people we feel don't belong here? Who gets to decide who lives or dies?—you? Suppose that I am down on my luck and I start selling drugs to provide my family. If there were no law against it, you would judge it appropriate to murder me? I find it hard to see the moral difference between you and the "criminals." Who should I be afraid of: them or you? This clearly infuriates me.
@keysignify dont forget the old west and even before it most of our civilization lived that way it has only been recently that we stopped people, from killing each other by law, its a brand new concept for people as a whole whos to say thats even right?, we are all animals, is it ok for a lion to kill a gazelle, yes it needs it to live, we are animals too some kill others to stay alive as well, whats the difference?
@keysignify I carry a gun because cops are too heavy...my overall reply to you is why not want the option of havign a gun if you need it? I mean guns are not for everyone, if your scared of them dont have one but its stupid to ask people why they do, criminals have guns, so I want one to again to even the odds you fight fire with fire, Im not looking forward to shooting anyone either but ikf I have to I will without thinking about it
@cutlerylover I don't carry a gun because: (1) no one has ever wanted to shoot me, nor do I have any indication that anyone ever will. (2) I also don't carry one because I don't feel it would improve the situation if someone were to pull a gun on me. Who am I?—Quickdraw McGraw? I'll likely get myself (or others) killed, even with training. (3) Speaking of training, I don't want to spend my life preparing for a rare occasion I heard about on the news (or, perhaps, something I saw in movies). :/
@keysignify IM sure everyone involved in the arizona shooting felt the very same way, and Im willing to bet a large amount of money mopst of those people,. the ones who survived anyway wish they too had a gun to stop that nut, no one ever thinsk it will or cna happen to them until it does...
@keysignify I would like to add the law tells me (and society) its ok to kill instead of being killed...so if the majority of society and other people feel the same way as I do, that would make your way of thinking the minority and whether your right or wrong doesn't matter at all...as bad as it sounds there are people on this world that deserve to die, they serve no purpose other than making others suffer, with your thought process we dont need a military or police, at all for ANY reason...
@cutlerylover Majority rule does not dictate correct moral action. The woman's suffrage, black civil rights, and Indian anti-occupation movements were fought against majority rule. Be careful here.
Also, I don't claim to have any answers to the question of what's permissible in war and defense. I only claim that the practice of gun carrying is questionable. (The use of non-lethal weaponry—like the new Taser 12gauge rounds—might present a viable alternative in the future.)
@cutlerylover Have you ever killed someone? I can't believe your premise that you'd kill without remorse.
Lets leave how it would happen out of the equation please. You look like a nice Catholic boy full of guilt trying to be an adult and say adult things. I'm not trying to be mean but I believe there are truly a very few seriously mentally ill individuals who have killed without remorse. I don't believe you're one of those folks else you'd be in a institution already.
@cigarbabe2 its called justification, if and when I need to kill someone its not out of sport or as a hobby or because I was born without emotion, its purely due to necessity, and for that I dont see that person as a person at all but rather an animal...and please dont bring religion into it, millions of very religious people kill in the name of their god without remorse since the beginning of our species
@keysignify lets take this most recent Arizona shooting into consideration do you know why it lasted so long and why so many got hurt, because no one else had a gun to fight fire with fire they had to wait for him to reload so they could tackle him...how can you fight a gun with fists? a gun is no more dangerous than a car, its how the user handles it, more people die from car accidents than gunshots, thats a fact
I disagree with much of what you said. I'm not really against guns but I personally don't think it's necessary for the majority of people to carry a gun. Now where I'm from you can't carry a gun, at all. However I have spent a lot of time in places where most people carry guns, so I'm not completely ignorant of the situation where you are. I think that the majority of the time any situation where you could argue a gun is needed I could argue that not getting involved would be just as useful. If
So not getting involved when someone threatens your life with a weapon works well, does it? I'd also not sit around and watch my wife get raped or my son get kidnapped.
@illogicalmethod No, but most of the time if someone threatens your life they want something, E.G. robbery, in that case just give them what they want and chances are they'll leave you alone. No one WANTS to kill someone people who shoot people during a robbery/home invasion most of the time are just scared they will be caught. Not getting involved would work the majority of the time, and I never said anything about rape or kidnapping, those are b=obviously extreme cases.
Yes, when someone threatens your life, they want something, usually. In some cases, you can even give them what they want and they'll leave. Sometimes not, however. You see, you say "No one" wants to kill someone.... but when you stick a gun in someone's face, it is a hell of a way of showing that you don't want to kill someone. As per your example, they're scared they'll be caught, so they, uh... shoot? So, knowing that someone will shoot because they are scared they'll get...
@cavan132 ...caught isn't reason enough, with you, to use force, or be prepared to use it? Your use of logic is absolutely astounding. As far as rape/kidnapping. Those are extreme cases, however, one happens enough to constitute specific consideration for preparing to use and carrying a tool which allows for one more option of deadly force, should it be needed, besides the other various scenarios where that option would be/should be required.
Hey man, great video. When you were talking about how many permits your county had that month it reminded me of when I went to take my CHL class. I was thinking it would be me and maybe one or two other awkward people. There were at least 30 people in my one class that one weekend at one gun range. I was SHOCKED. People all over the social spectrum too. Granted, I'm in Harris County (Houston, TX) but still, it's pretty cool to know that many people, potentially, could be packing.
i think bein perpared is one of the best things to be and i like ur reason on carrying a gun. also some of the storys u said are pretty scary and would make me wanna carry a gun and even more
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
only pussies carry registered guns, leave em home use your fucking fists for once , then i get a reply " o what if he has a knife....." dont be a bitch and take whats coming........
@kingbigdawg9 what if he has a gun, will your fists stop bullets? or will you run like a pussy, or just die like an unprepared liberal? if someone wants to fight you walk away if they try to hit you hit them back then get away if they have a weapon pull your weapon IF you cant get away, if a gun is what it takes, HOPE YOU HAVE GUN
@cutlerylover I agree 100% most of my family disagree with me for carring a weapon aka (pistol) and ask me why I keep a gun with me if I still think im in iraq and they think cause i carry im just waiting for someone to kill but hopefully them or me never have to come in contact with guy that wishes to do them harm and hopefully if they do i hope they have a gun or a good person there steps up
@kingbigdawg9 lol your dumb ass fuck kid. 100 bucks says you have never been in a fight or had someone straight in your face. It never works out how you plan buddy.
but yeah, 1st of all if the dude has a knife and he is coming at me, there is no way i wouldnt shoot his fuckin knee caps.
and 2ndly, would it make me less of a pussy if the gun wasnt registered?
@kingbigdawg9 only pussies dont carry a gun, think, if you get jumped
3 people. 1 with a 6" blade, another with 2 knuckle dusters and a baton, and the last one with a bat. Your standing there with a puny 3.5" knife against three guys, and have funtrying to use your fists.
@kingbigdawg9 Get stabbed pussy? is that what you're saying? ''Take what's coming...'' I'm not in favor of gun carrying but your comment is ridiculous.
@kingbigdawg9 here in Texas im only 14 but depending were you are it can be necessary to carry one my friend always has a glock on his waist at school cus thugs always holdin people up at the bus stop and sometimes i put a 9mm on my back waist if me and my girlfriend are goin for a walk now even though this guy is doing it legally and since im only 14 im carrying it illegally we are doing it for the same reason, cuz we aint lookin for fights but if someone try to kill me ill bust a slug in them
@ColdrideGaming You should not be responding to anything about Concealed Carrying of a handgun. You carry illegal and therefore are a felon. You are one of the people we as law abiding permit holding citizens protect ourselves against. Saying if someone wants to fight you'll "bust a slug in them" shows you are way too immature to have access to a firearm. Fighting is one thing, an imminent threat on my wellbeing or life is a different ballgame. Hopefully I never need to use my guns in defense.
well how about you do your fist thing and sooner or later when you get shot i might as well visit your grave and start laughing my ass off over how you said i was a pussy regarding that u were the one that got fucked!!
there is a destinct difference between manhood and courage of which both are very familiar to me and stupidity, which seems to be rather familiar to u.
@kingbigdawg9 u dip shit faggot motherfucker go to anger management i think thats how u spell it ur fucked up dude hees putting the point out there he carries his gun for the right purpose
Gun ownership is a constitutional right. So many of our rights have been taken away or diminished to the point of disappearing. Like it or not, criminals will always find a way to get guns legal or not. The only people that are affected by the gun laws are the law abiding citizens that are looking for a way to protect themselves and their family. Police do all they can, but they cant be everywhere at once. Responsible gun ownership is our right and should be protected.

@h1wayman You sound like a idiot, plain and simple. "Like to play cop"? "A walking time bomb"? How do i like to "play cop"? Because i want to protect myself and my family from criminals when there is no law enforcement around?
How am i a "walking time bomb"? Do i have anger issues? NO! Am i trigger happy? NO? Do i even want to use my gun? NO! I'm not on a "power-trip" if i carry gun. Its called being "aware" you dummy. Your the type of person who is going to end up regretting not having a gun..
@h1wayman You're an idiot. Guess what? People have the right to carry guns, they can carry guns. Doesn't matter what their reason is, they can do it because they can.
one thing is having a gun for defence, and other thing is to have tons of guns and use them like if they were toys. We need to always remember something: guns are made specifically for one thing, killing. and if killing will save your family life and yours, sorry but it has to be done. I hope you understand my point.
Excellent, intelligent and direct to the point.

How many people die as a result of a gun? How often does that happen?
99.9/100 cases you having a gun would panic the criminal, causing a bigger risk to yourself/the others around you. This just doesn't make any sense to me.

@bruceleefan123 thats a great point thanks for bringing it up. at schools guns are banned. so again the regular good citizen doesnt have a weapon. do you think the kids who were criminals and planned on massacring people that day care if they can have a gun? no because they plan on breaking the law anyway. if their was an armed citizen there he potentially could have stopped the 2 kids when they had killed 3 people but i took the police so long because of the nature of the drive could kill more.

@OgrAdaY are you really saying everyone is a good person ? "the regular good citizen doesnt have a weapon" how is that ? when for every 9 guns10 people could own one in the US FACT that includes children as small as 1 owning a gun do u think its right that a child should own a gun which reminds me what about that little small girl that was killed by her class mate who was how old ? 6 years old and answering your question if they dident have a guns less people would have died FACT
bruceleefan123 5 months ago
@bruceleefan123 first off, what i said was if you take away the 2nd amendment, then the REGULAR citizen who is GOOD, doesnt break the law and CCW. again you seem to be ignoring my points. understand this. people who legally own guns and legally conceal them arnt the people who are shooting people in cold blood. its the gang bangers. the people who buy a gun for $50 off the street and carry illegally, so you shouldnt be worried about the people legally carrying.
OgrAdaY 5 months ago
@bruceleefan123 secondly, no children as small as s1 cannot own a gun. i dont know where u got that info. you have to be 18 to own a firearm. next point, the kid who was killed by a classmate wasnt educated about guns and didnt know how to use them so she was probably tring to play with it and got hurt. yes, magically if you could recall every gun in the world, there would be less crime. but thats impossible. making them illegal does not solve the problem it will increase it due to gang bangers

Sorry, the facts are even more horrific:
"For every gun that is used for self-defense, there are 11 guns in homes used for completed or attempted suicides, 7 used in criminal assaults and homicides, and 4 used in unintentional shooting deaths or injuries (Kellermann, 1998, p. 263). In other words, a gun in the home is 22 times more likely to be used to harm someone in the household than to protect them."

1% of all firearm deaths are self defence, 40 percent is murder, 55% is suicide 3% are accidents and 1% is by the police.
80% of all gun deaths of the top 23 most wealthy countries are in the US
Since 1963 over 1 million Americans have died because of firearms. That's more than all foreign wars of the 20th century combined.
Every Year 31000 people die in the US because of firearms
And the moment there's a gun in your house there is a 22 times higher chance of someone dying because of gunfire.
Edekje 7 months ago
@Edekje No one really keeps records of stabbing deaths, BUT in Illinois in the county i live in (near Chicago), MORE people, i mean TWICE the number of people are killed with knives then firearms. In fact, 76,000 people die from automobile related HOMICIDES (IE DUI, wife runs down cheating husband so on and so on) each year. Suddenly, your 31,000 looks kinda..... small. Guns dont kill people, guns are just a tool. Take them away and humans adapt. So what now, ban all cars and ride bikes to work?

The "push shove" example is a bit trickier that you make it out to be. A few states have "stand your ground" laws meaning you're not required to run away from confrontation. The idea being don't start something unless you want to maybe get shot.
Then there is the "my life was in danger" argument. If you're a 120 pound dude and a 300 pound guy starts punching you...it's clearly not a fair fight (unless you're ex marine) and you have reasonable belief that he can kill you so you can draw.

I don't think being concerned about the people who carry legally is a jsutifiable position to take. It's the people who carry illegally you should be worried about. Knowing that I am basically surrounded by people who carry legally doesn't make me feel less safe.What makes me feel unsafe is how easily illegal firearms can be obtained by criminals.

In my state (as of the year 2000) 1 in every 23 adults over the age of 21 has a concealed carry permit. I was absolutely floored when I discovered this because I had no idea so many people carry. I have never seen someone carrying concealed, and while they are admittedly concealed I would have expected to at least notice a few since I am looking. of course the crime rate here is on the low side of the national average and I don't think it's a conincidence that there are also so many gun owners.

They took off when they heard someone upstairs because it was just a crackhead looking to steal something, not a murderer. Regardless, the 911 call took 2 1/2 HOURS for police to come by.

Technically, the laws are the same as the rest of the state, but defacto, a liberal DA is going to try to get you if you defend yourself with a gun. Meanwhile, the DA's office is a revolving door for the real bad guys. They have about a 10% conviction rate for people who commit violent felonies.

You say you're not paranoid. I can buy that—I wouldn't call you paranoid just because you carry a gun. However, your cited reason for carrying a gun (or a knife) is self-defense. You've also talked about worries about people who break into houses. You've talked about "balancing the odds" against such people. Questions:
Do you prepare for other uncommon (or even rare) contingencies?
Are you comfortable with having the power to kill another in exchange for self-preservation?

@cutlerylover Notice I asked about uncommon or rare contingencies. There are other contingencies that we might prepare for, but we do not. Which situations ought we prepare for, and which should we handle with cunning?
The scenario where a person threatens me or my loved ones, I'm not sure that's so easily solved by owning a gun. What about the danger of a gun fight? What about the malfunctioning weapons? What about the psychological aftermath (for your family and yourself)? What about virtue?

@keysignify evetry question you may have about what to do if you had a gun can be countered with what would you do without a gun...Im willing to bet every single person who has been involved in a public shooting not only wishes they had a gun at the time to defend themselves they also think that was never going to happen to them...I can own and carry a gun so why not...
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover Ok, then let's approach that head on. What would I do without a gun? I would duck, run, talk my way out of the situation, or get the hell out of there. I have been involved in a shooting. (A few gangstas on my block shot a guy behind the gas station in a public area.) What I did is what everyone should do (even people with guns): I ducked, and I hid. I'm sure this sounds cowardly, but it's pretty effective. I've been in many dangerous situations, and I've lived to tell the tale.
keysignify 11 months ago
@keysignify yeah lots of people feel the same way, and when a shooting occurs some dont get to be so lucky, they cant run as fast as the bullets flying at them, some get away some dont, do you wish to chance that? Perhaps you get away butr your family member doesn't...then what? suppose a crazy person pulls the gun out 2 feet from you and theres no were to hide, there not looking to rob you there is no talking they went there to die and now your involved...a gun gives you options is the point
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover Listen to the chain of thought though: "what if there's no way to run, hide, talk, and you're trapped?" We could continue, "What if I can't get to my gun fast enough?"—or "What if I miss and he shoots me?" We can think of dire situations until we're old and gray. The answer I can give you is: "I'd be screwed."
The point: these "what-ifs" smack of paranoia. I could not live my life in such fear, and I wouldn't want that fear on my hip all day. :(

@keysignify if you dont have a gun you have less options on how tro react to a possible dangerous situation, period, having the gun gives you an advantage, period, no matter what scenarios you come up with, thats a fact not my opinion, if your not interested in more options other than pissing your pants and dragging you scared family under a table and praying to whatever god you beelive in then that doesn't bother me one bit I like options
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover First—what are you taking as a fact? Are you saying that "There is no conceivable condition where a gun would be a disadvantage?" Second—Where are you getting these facts? Was there a study done on gun owners and violent scenarios? I do not believe that guns always shift the advantage in the owner's favor: in fact, being a hero with a gun can certainly get you killed. Remember, I'm not claiming that a gun *will* get you killed, but that it *can* get you killed.
keysignify 10 months ago
@keysignify take opinion out of the equation for a second...if someone has a gun and intends you harm, ebign unarmed gives you a disadvantage, having a gun yourself gives you an advantage without a gun you have little very little options, run away or run at the person hoping your faster than a bullet...or try to talk them out of it (probably not going to work) if you have a gun you have the same options AND the option to defend yourself efficiently...thats fact!
cutlerylover 10 months ago
@cutlerylover So…you're saying guns are another option. Again: I'm saying that the option to kill/harm should never be the option. The moment you say, "It's okay for me to kill/harm," you make it okay for a person to kill/harm you. This is a contradiction, as I have said earlier. Also, to advocate (or relish) the gun option seems to indicate a disrespect for life—for human life. In other words, it seems like a flaw of character in certain ways (as I have also said earlier).

@cutlerylover I'm not taking anything out of context. I'll grant that you're not advocating going around shooting people (—even though you said, "if I could legally walk into crack houses and gang territory and shoot at will I would"). Even if the law says it's the right thing to do, we still need decide which laws are moral—and we must justify our decisions. I don't need to remind you that there have been many unjust laws on the books, and many laws are still being evaluated for their morality.

@cutlerylover In response to the response you gave to keysignify.. I disagree, It is different with guns because if someone slaps you in the face, it'll hurt, sure, but you could just walk away. I would hit back, but you could walk away. HOWEVER, with a gun, BANG your dead. or BANG he's dead. It's a improper comparison.
TheJoshy1992 10 months ago
@TheJoshy1992 its relevant, you fight fire with fire you dont slap the guy with the gun, the idea is you only use your gun in defense, period, no exceptions and no false threats if my gun comes out and points at someone I intend to kill them to save my own life

@keysignify Poeple liek yourself rely on police to protect them, when seconds count the help is minutes away, why NOT give yourself more options?
cutlerylover 10 months ago
@keysignify god forbid your ever in a situation like that you'll be hoping a guy like me was there to help, on a side note do you feel cops should not have guns too? what makes them any different? they tokl can just run away from a bad situation? they to can try to talk themselves out of a bad situation they too cna miss and shoot inoocent peopel or not draw their guns fast enough, its happen time and time again they too are peopel and not perfect, I ask you whats the difference?
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover God forbid is right. If I were in that situation, and you saved my life, I would be grateful. I would also worry about our mental health (PTSD and Anxiety Disorder are problems—to say the least) and conscience.
The police? That's a good question. I wanted to believe that police are better trained than we are (and better able to make these decisions), but I cannot believe that (—especially after Mehserle shot Oscar Grant in the back). Either way, the answers aren't easy.

@keysignify your suggesting anyone who carries a gun might have an issue with their mental health? you do realize that there are hundreds of thousands of gun toting citizen who walk around you at all times no matter where you go right? Im guessing you didnt know that until now, when I went to go get my concealed carry permit I found out there were 70 applications approved a MONTH for my county alone!!!!!! thats only the legal good people nevermind the criminals guns, more reason to carry my own
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover No. I not suggesting that. Be careful how you read me. I am suggesting that if you use your gun in the ways you're preparing for, there are lots of consequences (including detriments to mental health). There are also potential consequences that come with pulling out a gun in the first place.
I also suggest that carrying a gun is indicative of—and reminiscent of—fear, and this fear is indicative of a worse societal condition in the U.S.

@keysignify do you think someone who is in a public shooting seeing people die around them doesn't have mental issues afterwards? I dont see a difference having gun makes...not everyone can kill without remorse, I can its justifiable if I shoot a man trying to kill me, or even a women, I cant kill innocent people and rest easy at night though because Im a normal emotional human being, but a threat is a piece of meat, not a person to me
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover Yes, I think there is an anxiety that comes after any dangerous situation.
I simply do not think it's ever permissible to kill another person. Even if you do it out of necessity, I would hope you'd feel some remorse. Your statement, "A threat is a piece of meat, not a person" is strange. You believe that persons cease to be persons once they pose a threat to you (or your loved ones)?
I'm not being (or trying to be) confrontational with the question, I mean it seriously.
keysignify 11 months ago
@keysignify yes if my life or the life of my loved ones are in danger I cna and will kill another human being or several, whatever it takes, I know they too have families they might be a son or a father, ect, but Im not concerned with their story at that moment, I will kill them and have no remorse for it, knowing it was justified, them or me it will be them everytime, even after the fact when their family is in court looking at me Ill try to explain to them he gave me no choice
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover Hm. A grieving family might not accept your reasoning. If you believe it's wrong to kill human beings, and you believe it's alright to kill someone if they have the intent to kill you (or anyone else), what makes you any better than the guy with murderous intent? Your intent would be the same. More over, what makes your life more valuable? Do you think we can forfeit our rights by murdering others? Would be exempt if you did the same in self-defense? This is a very old problem.
keysignify 11 months ago
@keysignify Im really not concerned with the grieving family to be honest their family members makes their own decisions, it comes down to survival of the fittest, with your logic you can stand and watch your child or parents be killed in front of you without any chance if you stopping the killer because you value every human life? come one, there is no right answer besides I feel my life is worth more than anyone else, everyone thinks thats if you would rather die and not defend yourself, ok
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover The conversation does not need to go there—"If you'd rather die and not defend yourself." That's not the case. However: if you think it's okay to kill a person who is trying to kill you, you deserve to die just as much as he does. I suppose the best we can say is, "It is wrong to kill, but I don't want to die either."
(I'm trying to get you to see that the problem here; I'm not trying to convince you not to carry. I understand that most people don't argue this way.)
keysignify 11 months ago
@keysignify this is a dog eat dog world, I see it as its ok to kill people who serve no purpose on this planet other than to harm people, if I could legal walk into crack houses and gang territory and shoot as my wil I would, but I cant so from a legal standpoint Ill shoot anyone who allows me to do so legally, not good people, no good human being will ever give me a reasons to kill them, from your comments I assume you dont own or carry a gun, can I ask why you rely soley on police to help you?
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover Wow. That's pretty extreme. You're okay with the mass slaughter of gangsters, drug dealers, and and drug users? That's more than callous… that's downright cruel. If we desire to gun down our fellow man, how can we consider ourselves good people? I rely on police by default. Their uniform scares most people, and that keeps a lot of trouble at bay. However, I don't trust them: they make too many mistakes, and there is corruption in the average PD. —but what are you asking, really?
keysignify 11 months ago
@keysignify what Im saying is when seconds count cops are minutes away to rely solely on law enforcement to save you is pretty trusting, I would rather have options, if someone broke into your home and wanted to rape your family you would probably grab a kitchen knife and try to stop them right? so why not event the odds with a gun? why make it harder on yourself to defend against a gun with a lesser capable weapon, and yes I see criminals and drug attics as a waste of life
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover I've never had anyone try to do such things to me or anyone I love. I know literally dozens of women who have been raped. It's usually their stepfathers, uncles, family friends, or (supposedly close) male friends who end up raping them. Random abduction is not as common. Why take such heavy precautions against something fairly unlikely? Why not lock your doors and windows? Why not just learn self-defense and escape? Why be prepared (…or even eager) to *kill*?

@keysignify you do carry a spare tire in your car right>? Why its rare to have a flat tire if your careful driving, but we all carry a spare just in case, I can legally carry a gun just in case to so why not? It hasn't hurt anything to do so, you will continue to say needed your gun is rare, why prepare for a rare occasion...why not? it happens to people every single day what makes you immune?
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover Right, so why not prepare for other unlikely scenarios? You could, for example, live in Los Angeles and carry around several types of snake venom antidotes just in case rattlers attack you or your loved ones. Never mind the chances of getting bitten by a rattle snake are extremely low in Los Angeles, it's still possible. The point here is that you make an executive decision to prepare for one unlikely scenario over another. Why?
keysignify 10 months ago
@keysignify if you watch my videos, and the video of people like me you will know we prep, we prepare for MANY unlikey occasions, we stock up on food and water and supplies in case society breaks down or has a period of panic and we cant shop for essentials...I also carry around a bail out bag (in car) with various gear to be prepared for various occasions, I have fire sources, garbage bags, flashlights, food, water, rope, tape, tools, etc...you rely on society which is fine thats your choice
cutlerylover 10 months ago
@cutlerylover The problem is: many of those are useful items for likely scenarios. Similarly I carry a bag with the following junk: a food bar, a cleaning cloth, tissues, wet naps, several pens, a water bottle, a mini maglite (I need to upgrade…not the best light), a small first aid kit, binder clips and paper clips. I also carry a mini-Griptilian. I do not, however, carry an ounce of plastic explosive for the off chance I get trapped in cave. Why prepare for *that* scenario beside a phobia?

@keysignify whats interesting here is your making it sound as if Im part of the minority...a paranoid person with a fear of a violent situation in my future...reality will show there are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people who do what I do every single day and there are literally hundreds of armed citizens walking around you every day with guns you dont even know about...
cutlerylover 10 months ago
@cutlerylover No…I'm not making it seem like you're a minority. Honestly, I couldn't care less about how common the activity is, and I know it's even more common than you are saying. (Yes, I know there are lots of concealed carry license holders. I know lots of them. I am not one of them.) If you think I'm saying "It's bad that so many people carry guns," you're missing the point.
keysignify 10 months ago
@keysignify then what is your point other that its not ok to defend yourself? and that the person threatening your life is allowed to because you in return can threaten their life? I would hope you ask this to all the people you personaly know who carry guns because they feel the same way I do
cutlerylover 10 months ago
@cutlerylover I really enjoy your videos and I am a huge fan of yours, as well as a subscriber. However, I do think you are part of a minority, hundreds of thousands is barely a fraction of the whole, and I personally don't believe in the use of a gun to kill except in VERY limited circumstances. EX. If your life is being threatened, yes, shoot them, but if someone breaks into your house to steal your tv, or steals your car, I don't think its right for a person to be allowed to shoot them.

@cutlerylover "people like me you will know we prep, we prepare for MANY unlikey occasions". Forgive me for saying so but you did claim that you weren't paranoid,yes? These actions,of yours say differently. FYI people who are enraged are simply very mad it doesn't mean they will absolutely harm anyone. Speaking about situational behaviors there is no guarantee that those with guns will outlive those who can adapt to any environment. Your weapons will run out of ammunition in time sadly. :)

@cutlerylover What does it say about our character if we are so willing to kill?—if we wish we could go kill all of the people we feel don't belong here? Who gets to decide who lives or dies?—you? Suppose that I am down on my luck and I start selling drugs to provide my family. If there were no law against it, you would judge it appropriate to murder me? I find it hard to see the moral difference between you and the "criminals." Who should I be afraid of: them or you? This clearly infuriates me.

@keysignify I carry a gun because cops are too heavy...my overall reply to you is why not want the option of havign a gun if you need it? I mean guns are not for everyone, if your scared of them dont have one but its stupid to ask people why they do, criminals have guns, so I want one to again to even the odds you fight fire with fire, Im not looking forward to shooting anyone either but ikf I have to I will without thinking about it
cutlerylover 11 months ago
@cutlerylover I don't carry a gun because: (1) no one has ever wanted to shoot me, nor do I have any indication that anyone ever will. (2) I also don't carry one because I don't feel it would improve the situation if someone were to pull a gun on me. Who am I?—Quickdraw McGraw? I'll likely get myself (or others) killed, even with training. (3) Speaking of training, I don't want to spend my life preparing for a rare occasion I heard about on the news (or, perhaps, something I saw in movies). :/

cutlerylover 11 months ago
@keysignify I would like to add the law tells me (and society) its ok to kill instead of being killed...so if the majority of society and other people feel the same way as I do, that would make your way of thinking the minority and whether your right or wrong doesn't matter at all...as bad as it sounds there are people on this world that deserve to die, they serve no purpose other than making others suffer, with your thought process we dont need a military or police, at all for ANY reason...

@cutlerylover Majority rule does not dictate correct moral action. The woman's suffrage, black civil rights, and Indian anti-occupation movements were fought against majority rule. Be careful here.
Also, I don't claim to have any answers to the question of what's permissible in war and defense. I only claim that the practice of gun carrying is questionable. (The use of non-lethal weaponry—like the new Taser 12gauge rounds—might present a viable alternative in the future.)

@cutlerylover Have you ever killed someone? I can't believe your premise that you'd kill without remorse.
Lets leave how it would happen out of the equation please. You look like a nice Catholic boy full of guilt trying to be an adult and say adult things. I'm not trying to be mean but I believe there are truly a very few seriously mentally ill individuals who have killed without remorse. I don't believe you're one of those folks else you'd be in a institution already.

@cigarbabe2 its called justification, if and when I need to kill someone its not out of sport or as a hobby or because I was born without emotion, its purely due to necessity, and for that I dont see that person as a person at all but rather an animal...and please dont bring religion into it, millions of very religious people kill in the name of their god without remorse since the beginning of our species

@keysignify lets take this most recent Arizona shooting into consideration do you know why it lasted so long and why so many got hurt, because no one else had a gun to fight fire with fire they had to wait for him to reload so they could tackle him...how can you fight a gun with fists? a gun is no more dangerous than a car, its how the user handles it, more people die from car accidents than gunshots, thats a fact

So not getting involved when someone threatens your life with a weapon works well, does it? I'd also not sit around and watch my wife get raped or my son get kidnapped.
illogicalmethod 1 year ago
@illogicalmethod No, but most of the time if someone threatens your life they want something, E.G. robbery, in that case just give them what they want and chances are they'll leave you alone. No one WANTS to kill someone people who shoot people during a robbery/home invasion most of the time are just scared they will be caught. Not getting involved would work the majority of the time, and I never said anything about rape or kidnapping, those are b=obviously extreme cases.
cavan132 1 year ago
@cavan132
Yes, when someone threatens your life, they want something, usually. In some cases, you can even give them what they want and they'll leave. Sometimes not, however. You see, you say "No one" wants to kill someone.... but when you stick a gun in someone's face, it is a hell of a way of showing that you don't want to kill someone. As per your example, they're scared they'll be caught, so they, uh... shoot? So, knowing that someone will shoot because they are scared they'll get...
illogicalmethod 1 year ago
@cavan132 ...caught isn't reason enough, with you, to use force, or be prepared to use it? Your use of logic is absolutely astounding. As far as rape/kidnapping. Those are extreme cases, however, one happens enough to constitute specific consideration for preparing to use and carrying a tool which allows for one more option of deadly force, should it be needed, besides the other various scenarios where that option would be/should be required.

Hey man, great video. When you were talking about how many permits your county had that month it reminded me of when I went to take my CHL class. I was thinking it would be me and maybe one or two other awkward people. There were at least 30 people in my one class that one weekend at one gun range. I was SHOCKED. People all over the social spectrum too. Granted, I'm in Harris County (Houston, TX) but still, it's pretty cool to know that many people, potentially, could be packing.

@ColdrideGaming You should not be responding to anything about Concealed Carrying of a handgun. You carry illegal and therefore are a felon. You are one of the people we as law abiding permit holding citizens protect ourselves against. Saying if someone wants to fight you'll "bust a slug in them" shows you are way too immature to have access to a firearm. Fighting is one thing, an imminent threat on my wellbeing or life is a different ballgame. Hopefully I never need to use my guns in defense.

Gun ownership is a constitutional right. So many of our rights have been taken away or diminished to the point of disappearing. Like it or not, criminals will always find a way to get guns legal or not. The only people that are affected by the gun laws are the law abiding citizens that are looking for a way to protect themselves and their family. Police do all they can, but they cant be everywhere at once. Responsible gun ownership is our right and should be protected.
