  • First does this guy know that the term'teabagger' is used to down grade gays?Also I know this video is a couple of years old,and as far as I know no one was ever shot at a townhall meeting,and the got to be very hot meetings,however I did see a video on youtube of union thugs beating the hell out of a black guy outside of a townhall meeting.Also lets not forget about Madisson,where union teachers were threating the life of Gov.Walker,and others.

  • If everyone has a gun, no one will want to shoot... same thing with nukes it's like the cold war bro. We are all packing heat and no one wants to get burned.

  • andd??? its the freakin american way to show up with guns! ever heard of the declaration of independence???? what did the americans do? show up with guns! ever heard of the 2nd amendment?? oh yeah the right to keep and bear arms?? your an idiot dude.

  • @ 0:10 i wonder if it was Jared Laughner

  • shyyyt maybe if we put a gun to every corrupt political official including the president, maybe something would actually get done. the only good government is a government pressured by the people. the 2nd amendment is there for a reason. not just to have fun and protect us from each other more than it is to protect us from government oppression. which is what's happening, government oppression because no exercises their rights! we all need to march to the white house with guns.

  • why does it surprise anyone that these loons show up with guns. these people (conservatives) like agression, intimidation, threats etc. they cannot engage in normal dialogue so they try to make people afraid of them. and they think that this is "winning"

  • Cenk really is blind. The Screamers" as he calls them are all on the left. Of course, being as this video was made before that fiasco in Madison, WI, I'll cut him a little slack. Cenk is still a nut case giving false information, though, just like the left always does.

  • I would rather be at a gathering of gun owners than a gathering of illegally carrying criminals. One guy with a gun sets of this much of a response, while the guy you passed on the street and didn't even look twice at was a armed, wanted felon. Ignorance is bliss. Its about time people started carrying because they can. If you don't like it, move to New Jersey. Only criminals are allowed to carry there..

  • @rb2112002 Don't forget NYC. Guns are illegal there, too. Doesn't NYC have on of the highest murder rates in the country?

  • @buisyman I dont have the stats in front of me, but I would think so. Some of the scariest cities are the places where honest citizens gun ownership is strictly controlled. Newark? Trenton? Camden? Even armed, I would avoid these places. NY too..

  • Were there any brawls at the town hall events with guns? NO Because no one wanted to give someone else the self defense prerogative. THE EVENTS WERE SAFER.

  • Nothing as dangerous as a dumb ass, self-righteous fuck with a gun!

  • @boomtao A liberal with a right to vote is way more dangerous..

  • i think the "recipe for disaster" is letting you into an all you can eat buffet before everyone else gets to eat. won't be anything left tubby

  • SECOND AMENDMENT!!! byatch gun owners and MOST of them are smart and decent people and i dont think any of em will draw a gun and shoot someone over an arguement then once in a while u have the kinda off set guys .........that make gun owners look bad

  • This guy never gets any better. I hope this junk isn't on TV. :/

  • i love this guy,classic example of genx tard w/too much hair product seeping into his brain...he neglects to offer how safe it could be there cuz no one dare steal/pickpocket or start anything cuz everyone is packing...did anyone shoot? couldn't hear ya?...is it a smart idea for this guy to be on youbube,i'd rather show up at the gun rally, this guy is more dangerous w/his half-educated musings and internet assembled philosophies...has anyone at TeaParty EVER shoot a gun?only a Muslim at Ft.Hood

  • democracy belongs to people who can understand it. These ring wingers clearly don't.

  • You are an idiot!... Shut up.. Shut up... so now YOU scream ..FIRST AMENDMENT!!! ...exactly.. the first amendment allows you to have your little internet video show... but the first amendment is no more important than the 2nd amendment which gives all Americans the right to keep and BEAR arms!

  • Its a good example of someone else who can't understand personal responsability. Thank you so much TYT for proving me right again.

  • soooo weird how Giffords got shot.... 

  • What's wrong with good people bringing guns to public events? Gabrielle Giffords and many others would be safe today if more people were armed in Tucson 8 days ago. The police or that lousy sheriff there didn't take down the leftist Jared Lee Loughner, he was tackled by good citizens. And if one of those good citizens had a gun, Loughner would have been taken down sooner. The carnage wouldn't have been nearly as bad as how gun control freaks like you had it become. You're partially to blame.

  • Today many were killed by a right wing asshole! Bring it on you right winged fucks!

  • @padude64 Actually he was a left wing asshole. One of his favorite reads was the comunist manifesto.

  • @padude64 Why should you care if we carry are guns with us to a town meeting, protest, rally or whatever. Just don't try to mug us or gang up on one of us and you will be fine. As long as your not a violent criminal you have no need to worry about me carrying a gun.

  • When it hits the fan your welcome to hide behind me!

  • Biggest douchebag on all of youtube

  • You don't like guns at town hall meetings? Stay home then. You don't like Americans having the right to posses weapons? Go someplace where citizens are only subjects. I know it's easier said than done but you gotta try. No one should have to go to a place where you have to check your right to defend your life at the door.

  • Who is this guy?  Sounds like a liberal crybaby and a looser.

  • Interesting, Bush had people put in pens , but these guys bring guns.

  • And yet here we are, a year later, with people still bringing guns to these events, and your "something terrible" has never occurred.

  • We understand Cenk you don't ;ike the Constitution. It appears that gun sales have gone up in the pst two years

  • People will continue to legally bring guns. If you don't like it, call your legislators and try to convince them to change the law. Good luck with that.

  • first out of the mouth is family protection ! in reality family is the first concern for a father ! not na gun fight ,but to protect ! then after securing family ,go for defense, or even taking the threat out,, one essential prequisit is PRINCIPLE , when /if it becones necessary to kill, the killer must be resigned to sacrifice his own life in recompence, the sudden heat of an incident makes for mistakes, prethinking killing better qualfies the act !

  • It would be a peaceful exchange if everyone brought a gun. So nobody would dare slip up because everybody would be armed.

  • @n310ea how is that peaceful? everyone ready to shoot the other doesnt sound peaceful, how bout you just dont bring guns to town meetings, keep them in your house.

  • @crackerz99 No. Say, if carrying guns to town hall meetings were to be prohibited by law, that law would only effect law-abiding citizens, not criminals, criminals don't obey the law. Criminals prey on people in gun-free zones, because it guarantees helpless innocent victims.

  • @n310ea yeah, that makes sense, but, people dont need to be carrying their arms with the intention of using it in a situation where something may go awry at a town hall meeting like a fistfight. guns to fight criminals makes sense, guns to defend your political view, doesnt make any sense.

  • @crackerz99 The reason why people should carry guns to town hall meeting is the same reason why they should carry guns to anywhere else, for self-defense. Anything can happen anywhere, you just never know.

  • @crackerz99 I will carry my gun anywhere I please. The only people I'm ready to shoot are violent criminals and that's only if they attack me. Don't try to mug me or gang up on me with several of your friends like a coward because I don't agree with you and you won't be shot.

  • @bigbenusa45 Dude, no one cares if you carry your gun, especially if you live in a violent part of the city, what we want is tighter regulation on gun control, The NRA has lobbied congress so much, that people who are on the terrorist watch list are able to buy guns...and second, I would'nt even walk near you, let alone mug you, simply because you carry a gun, same if you carried a knife, and third, the reason you shouldnt bring guns to protests, is because protests get violent.

  • @crackerz99 Protests mite get violent? That's exactly why I would want to bring my gun. God forbid I get outnumbered by violent leftist nutjobs or any nutjobs or I see a bunch of dickheads beating up an old man I want the option of going for my gun.

  • This guy is an idiot! Secular progressives is a mental disorder.

  • Do you think it's wise to start shit where people are excersizing their second amendmend rights? what do you have to fear, unless you're intending to go there to start trouble?

  • Type out National Security Alert and watch the video on Youtube, wouldn't you start carrying weapons after watching the video?

  • this guy is a idiot. as long as you have a permit, you can carry a gun.

  • @hint0122 He's "a" idiot, huh? Oh, the irony...

  • yes he is.

  • @hint0122 Perhaps you don't understand what I mean...

  • yeah i do you think i am an idiot since i used " a" instead of "an"

  • @hint0122 No. Not at all. I never said you were an idiot. I said it was ironic that you said he's an idiot, yet you got your English wrong.

  • You are an idiot earnhart...if people were allowed to carry guns anywhere 9/11 wouldn't have happened? They took control of the plane without guns, you think they couldn't do it with them? retard.

  • @wickedman6 Why not? Why do we need to suck the president's dick all the time and treat him like a god.

  • he wasnt breaking the law and since when do our rights become void when the president comes near. people legally carrying guns arent the ones you need to watch, and on a side note if our rights werent limited to when and where we can have them like you cant carry you firearm on a plane unless you are a marshal 9/11 wouldnt have happened.

  • Hey Cenk, guess who loves gun control the most? Criminals And guess who loves gun-free zones. Parents? No, Criminals! Who should have all the weapons cenk? The ever so trusty government?? The guys who were going to use "Life ending force" will do so either way, just maybe on a victim who was denied their right to carry a weapon because of people like you. Cenk is usually dead on. But now more than ever, it is not the case. He is getting way too liberal and disrespects the constitution.

  • @AroundSun

    I'm from Sweden and here we are not allowed to carry guns at all... well, except if we're hunting or are cops and such.

    We have a very low crime rate here but you don't. Some people would say that it means gun controll is good but I rather think that since you have such a large crime rate you need your guns more than we do.

    It's too late now, if you did it earlier it might have worked but not as it is now.

  • @Bossentuppen exactly too many people say "britian has no guns and look at that" or "europe has no guns look at that." it is too late for us to control guns, we are either northern "thugs" who have gangs and such and need pistols, or southern "hicks" who love to shoot cans and people. It is too late for our gun control, I personally think it is best everyone has guns but they need a mental evaluation, to atleast know they are trigger happy bastards or nervous wrecks were they will shoot first

  • @Bossentuppen In 1997 england banned handguns. The british government confiscated and destroyed all legaly owned handguns. By 1999 the use of handguns in crime had gone up 40%. England had a lower crime rate then the US but their violent crime rate has been catching up with our since the 97 ban. BTW the swiss can legally carry guns and in half the cantons they don't even need a permit to do so. The swiss have more gun rights then we americans do and a much lower gun violence rate to boot.

  • @Hyvaerinen no.. you fail

    do some research

    the second ammendment was put in there so the people could defend against a tyrannical goverment...

    it has nothing to do with hunting..

  • @librophile BS.... liberal excuses.. the second ammendment stands as it is.. not your twisted arguments.

  • @librophile im sure the founders envisioned futureistic weapons idiot

    stop making up stupid arguments

    the second ammendment shall not be infringed...............

  • @sterfbeejotch "I dont rely on weapons. Im not a pussy"

    im getting sick of this badass image... hardass people

    " i dont need a gun. im not a pussy"

    bullshit..... guns arnt for pussies

    there the great eqaulizer..

    but since i guess guns are for pussies, your calling my militaries of the world pussies...

    so your calling my grandpa a pussy, he fought in WW2, but used a gun... so i guess hes a pussy right... fuck you..

    you would cry like a bitch if you were sent to a warzone..

  • @fireking9934 Wars? Fuck wars. I'm not talking about anything that big a scale and I'm sure you're smart enough to realize that. So shut the hell up and go do something else with your time, and nobody cares if your grandpa fought in WW2 or not, so did mine, but you don't see me starting internet discussions while bragging about that shit. And what makes you think I've never seen war? I could've easily enlisted like most males of my family.

    Anyways.. If you rely on weapons, you suck. The end.

  • @sterfbeejotch well the fact that you said you never use guns and that there for pussies, so basically your calling the whole military pussies, right since they use weapons...........

    and you arn't in the military.............. cause you would of had yo use guns, which you say are for pussies...

    if an 85 year old guy is beign attacked by teenagers.. and he uses a gun would you call him a pussy....

    if you rely on your fists, and fair fighting, your tactics suck

  • @sterfbeejotch What do you rely on? Your dick?

  • @bluescholars i love the second ammendment... bitch...hahahahahahaha

  • @crowdaddy13 yeah cause... the military is automatically going to turn against its people...

    i mean its not like soldiers and some goverment officials would ally with the people.....

    sorry dumbass..... guerilla warfare has worked throughout the years....

    i believe half to 75 percent of the military would aid with the people...

    the soldiers arn't fuckin robots dumbass

  • @Smartassawhip "Guns should not be allowed at these townhall meetings. Somebody is going to get hurt"

    ill respond with 4 words

    SECOND AMMENDMENT ALL DAY....

    i have a right to have guns.....

  • @tray04will you against the second ammendment....

    fuck you...

    my rights to have guns SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.....................­.

    i dont give a flying fuck what people think, if i want to carry a gun, im going to carry a gun..,

  • @audadvnc well-regulated backed then did not mean, regulation

    it meant well -equipped, and well -trained

    and militia was not a goverment orginization....

    THE MILITIA WAS THE PEOPLE...

    you liberals have manipulated the ammendment all these years....

    my rights to have guns

    SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.....................­......... end of story

  • @Justice4all311 "i dont see why anyone needs a gun at a town hall meeting"

    maybe cause he has rights, given to him by the SECOND AMMENDMENT...

  • @wickedman6 "Yup, bring lethal weapons to a heated event.... BRILLANT"

    have you ever heard of something called the "SECOND AMMENDMENT".....

    i dont know that much, but i know it gives individuals rights to have guns....

    so... i guess you can call it brilliant

    for him exercising his fuckin rights....

  • They need to start showing up in all black with full body armor and AK-47's with 65 round banana clips.

  • you know what happens when you show up to a fight with guns the weak die and the strong survive

  • And the young turks are the fithy fascist genociders.

  • look man, you get angry at people everyday, should we now constrain you because we are worried you are going to kill people just because you don't like them?

  • No see this, politics aside is why I think that right down to the second amendment america's treatment of guns is beyond stupid.

    You need to protect your family...then don't take them with you, these events have enough security to deal with the threat.

    It's just a huge goddamn ego trip. And it's ridiculous. Say what you want but gun crime is ridiculous in america.

  • Now tell me who is committing all that gun crime in America. You fucking liberal are so full of shit that you cant even smell whats coming out of your mouths. Like this douche bag said "show up to a fight with a gun and see what happens" he is implying when ever a fight breaks out and guns are around it turns in to a shootout. I would like to see him prove that.

  • you can call conservtives what you may.. if it wasnt for the conservitives this country would be at a point of no return.. yea its our 2nd ammendment right to bear arms, everyone knows that. with all the crime in this great nation you need to carry a weapon, i do, and yet have i shot anyone or caused any disruption at any event. i carry for the protection of me and my family. on the ,matter of pro-life, if someone is trying to harm someone that rule doesnt apply to that individual.

  • it's guys like him that fought for freedom so wimps like you could sit behind a desk and get fat

  • Nice name calling very mature. What about all of the "peaceful" left wing protests? They freak out and start yelling. Look at the left wing potest at the Minute Man talk at a college campus. The "peaceful" liberals started screaming and actually rushed the stage to disrupt the talk.

  • And were any of them brandishing guns, may I ask?

  • No but fitst it's a legal right. It is rare though. SEIU even attacked some guys. They locked out numerous protestors from meetings.

  • Has anyone been shot. No! There hasn't been eany deaths or injuries except for liberals attacking them.

  • @ClassicRockOwns5 So what's the point of bringing live firearms to what is supposed to be a peaceful town hall debate on health care reform?

  • It is their Civil Right. They can do that. You can carry it nearly eanywhere. It is for self defense. After the SEIU thugs attacked one guy they need it. 2nd Ammendment. I would like to point out that this guy is a name caller. He is such a HIPPYQUEER!!!

  • So let me get this straight; in these townhall meetings, where the President is laying out his plans for healthcare reform and in which people are there question him about it in a free and open forum, the only motivation for anyone to bring a live firearm in the presence of the first black president who's citizenship has been questioned and whose policies have been described as socialist by his opponents, is nothing more than exercising their Second Amendment rights, just for the sake of it?

  • Has a person been shot? What about the G20 crap. Throwing rocks through windows and throwing smoke bombs or whatever they throw. Beating in cars and chanting. Yeah thats peaceful and not threatening.

  • Indeed, throwing rocks (which I also don't condone) is analogous to carrying live firearms.

    You're missing the point, man, it doesn't matter if no one's been shot yet; I highly doubt you'd defend anyone who brought a loaded gun to a pep rally with Sarah Palin, why is it defensible when it's Barack Obama?

  • DOn't use as a political tool. No one has been shot and they shouldn't be bringing guns. No I wouldn't like it if it were Sarah Palin, but if no one gets hurt I wouldn't care. More people are hurt at Liberal rallys than Conservative. These "volatile" situations are rare.

  • So if some 8-year old accidentally gets shot by someone who's just a "law-abiding-citizen-exercisin­g-their-Second-Amendment-Right­s", would that bother you, or would you defend that persons "right" to defend themselves in a public setting with a live firearm.

  • If it was in self defense then yes, but if he came and just started shooting then no. It's a matter of why he used it.

  • Its horrible logic you are using.

    8 year olds get accidentily killed everyday by drunk drivers or normal automobile accidents. Should we now outlaw all alcohol or automoble use for all decent people or should we just deal with that small minority that actually commit crimes and willfully put others in danger?

  • @Stink808 Last time I checked, it was still illegal to drive on sidewalks, through buildings, and to run red lights and stop signs, which would kill many more 8-80 year olds than are already killed in automobile accidents and which would be the automotive equivalent of concealed carry.

  • and last time I checked, it was still illegal for people to maliciously assault people with a firearm. You need to go after the criminals and not the object. Why make criminals out of 100 people when there is only one who is actually has a criminal intent to begin wtih?

  • YoungTurk, I am a proud conservative that despises government and loves to shoot weapons competitively in sports. When you talk down to us, you affect no one! By the way, I'm Greek and I DESPISE THE GODDAMN Turks anyway!

  • You're a liar.

  • Statistics that aren't PS:

    absent minority violence, america has a much lower murder rate than Europe!!

    that one shocked me.

  • That might have something to do with the fact that around 90% of people killed by gunshot wounds are shot by family members who thought they were intruders. When that happens it's classed as a tradgic accident not murder

  • My apologies, my keyboard is a bit knackered and the number row only works when it feels like it. However 10000+ Americans are shot and killed (counting for more than half total homicides each year and you ARE more likely to be shot by someone you know. Crimes of violence are about equal per capita but ones that end in death are much lower.

  • Right-wing morons cannot handle weapons as they will shot at anything that do not agree with them.

  • sure, that's right, and the KKK showed up to support GWB.

    We're onto you looney lefties and your Saul ALinsky tactics....

    Rules for radicals is in PDF format on the internet now.

    All the assassins have been lefties...

    Sirhan, Aswold you name it

  • All the more reason to not let them have such easy access to guns! You Americans have a sick, fetishistic relationship with firearms that baffles the rest of the civilized world. A supposedly law-abiding society has no need to arm its' populace.

  • Are you familiar with the philosophy behind the 2nd Amendment? It's sole purpose is to ensure that we have the means to take down the government.

    It's not about "defending" yourself, or hunting, and it's not about taking part in some fetish.

    For some of us, our "fetish" for weapons  stems from our love of machines. Men around the world fix up their cars and race them. Is this not accepted around the world? What about programmers? So why aren't gunsmith (mechanics, engineers) accepted?

  • We fling lead past the curvature of the earth and into very small targets. This makes us "stupid right wingers".

    When a scientist flings a satellite (with lead) into a small target (moon) he's a genius.

  • This type of disrespect is going to continue because America is a spoiled and arrogant country. There is no proper FEAR (RESPECT) for GOV. You cant give a man too much freedom because hes going to test you. Bounderies have to be set. BUT THIS IS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE RIGHT WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE FEEL IS RIGHT!!! This is going to be the reason why this country is going to implode from the inside out. JUST WATCH!!!!!!

  • You can be respected without being feared.

    Look at Switzerland. They are respected, because they make the finest watches.

    Respect through fear is not really respect. In fact, people are likely to laugh behind your back.

  • Proper fear for the government? Are you an idiot? When people fear the government you get tyranny. This nation is based on the idea that WE THE PEOPLE are the ones in control. The government works for THE PEOPLE. Not the other way around. This country is going to implode alright - the PEOPLE are going to reclaim the Republic from those that have usurped it. People are reaching their breaking point, and woe to any cop or soldier that takes the wrong side.

  • FOOL!!! Im not talking about MORBID FEAR, did u see the parethesis i put next to FEAR. Proper respect is what you are required to show as a CREATURE from GOD. Humans are not meant to be a law to themselves. That is the reason why GOVERNMENT was established in the first place. Life without GOV would be chaotic in a human society to which each single human person has his or her own interpretation of whats right or wrong. A society like that will never work and is not suppose to.

  • You better learn the wisdom from above because u and all the people who think like u are up against more than just a human GOV. Yall are fighting against an establishment that was put there by ur CREATOR. But dont take my word for it go ahead and fight. In the eyes of GOD u will be recognized as a REBEL and no better than GODS archenemy SATAN THE DEVIL. YOU SEE ITS NOT FOR A HUMAN TO REFORM GOV ONLY GOD HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO. U better put faith in ur CREATOR or u are going to LOSE!!!

  • Oh man, you are another idiot that somehow thinks a tyrannical government is somehow annointed by God. Your fundamental understanding of God and our relationship with God is so flawed as to not even be worth discussing with you. You are wrong. Period. End of story. This government you worship is going to be removed and our Republic restored to what it is supposed to be. Men are born to be free and independent under a minimal government. God is all about FREEDOM.

  • When the government no longer respects the people that it serves, it will be removed and replaced with one that does.

  • U DONT LISTEN!!! I dont worship the GOV. Thats not what a CHRISTIAN suppose to do. I was saying u must be in subjection to it (RELATIVE). The only time u disobey GOV is when they tell u to PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE, OR DRAFT U TO GO TO WAR. But all the GOV is doing here is trying to give all those less fortunate HEALTHCARE. SO WHAT!! If u have to pay a little more taxes to help other people. Isnt that what a CHRISTIAN NATION suppose to do? Freedom is an unreality for u because u will never be free..

  • Nonsense. The government is not going to end up helping people because this economy is not going to survive. We are already overtaxed (the income tax is unconstitutional and not a law) and taking from others to pay for some is tyranny. Also, this is a nation of a variety of religious views - it is only influenced by Christian values, which are fine. And I am free despite your belief. All people are born free and remain so until they enslave themselves to a tyranny.

  • Mankind GOV is doomed so whatever u try to do ur not hindering anything. Destiny cant be altered BUD!! U are are messing with SUPERNATURAL FORCES no bullet are missile can stop them. BUT HEY go ahead and do what u think u can do. Ill just sit back and watch u guys act like REBELS. BOY U KNOW NOTHING BUT WHAT U SEE UR PLAYING UR ROLE IN THE STREAM OF EVENTS THAT MUST TAKE PLACE. ALL THIS IS A SPIRITUAL MATTER. YOUVE BEEN WARNED GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!

  • There is no such thing as destiny. God gave us Freewill, and despite what you think, that doesn't mean follow God or go to Hell. Freewill means we decide the course of events. You are of course free to believe as you wish, but don't expect the rest of us to hide in the basement waiting for the 2nd coming. Put the Bible down and join your brethren.

    By the way - the world isn't going to end and Jesus isn't going to show up. Time for you to get back to living in the now.

  • COOL!! U know everything ok. Ill be the FOOL.

  • oh, so I suppose that you have had first hand experience with this "creator" then, so tell me what it looks like, what does it wear and whether it thought you were mentally retarded or not because you get all you facts about this "creator" from a fairy tale book named the "Bible" which no sane person reads.

  • THANK YOU!!! for taking the time to look through all this nonsense to respond to me. YOU ARE AN AMERICAN SO YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED THE FREEDOM TO HAVE YOUR OPINION ON THINGS. Im not going to argue with u on the obvious. LET PROPHECY AND TIME DO THE TALKING. YOU GUYS BORE ME WITH YOUR FOOLISHNESS!!!!

  • I am not an American, I am a Canadian. But more to the point, we don't have to deal with this nonsense while you guy have to constantly hear outrageous and moronic statements such as "the gov is gonna take away our freedom" and "Obama is a socialist/communist/Nazi" from the far-right teabaggers.

  • If Adults are going to act like little spoiled brats that they are and act with lack of discretion, then take their little toys away like the selfish arrogant babies they are. This only weakens their cause because of there lack of proper discernment of the event they are attending. Fortunately for them Obama is not unreasonable like they are, hes a reasonable man. If it was me any man who blatantly show disrespect to my family or my office as Pres would have HELL TO PAY!!!

  • That is just people showing their unreasonableness and lack of respect for a civilized debate on important issues. There is no reason for a person to bring a gun to a townhall meeting unless you there to start some controversy. You have adult Americans acting like little children over their right to carry a dangerous weapon around. At the townhall people allow their emotions to get the better of them. So the saying goes "It Doesnt Take Much To Pull The Trigger" BAM!!! Someone innocent is dead.

  • Hey dumbass, it's not illegal to have guns. You want to take guns away from law abiding citizens? Then the only ones that will have them will be the government and the criminals. There is a reason why people have guns. These people that have guns have a "license to carry" issued by the government state police. You have a problem with it because you are a wuss. Where are you from Cenk? You only have a voice because we are a free country as of right now. Union thug falls on the ground ..

  • I think it would be a good idea for them to show up with guns. Then these f*cktards can all shoot and kill each other and there will be fewer whining stupid Xtian fanatics in this country whining and acting stupid!

  • that has to do more with the society as a whole. like drugs, poverty, and capitalism.

  • Isn't that fantastic that we are so free in the USA (at least up to now) that we can carry guns around and even close to an event where the president is. Other more fascist nations, such as Canada, and some in Euorpe, where people aren't allowed to carry guns are moving to eliminate the freedom of speech. and who is going to stop them? not the sheeple.

  • On that note let me give you a little insight since I live in the U.S territory with the more stringent gun laws in existence Puerto Rico and yet one of the highest criminal statistics superseded only by San Fran Sicko. Why because criminals and terrorists could give a horse's ass about gun control since they obtain their weapons clandestinely to begin with.

  • LOL ... more twisted statistics.

    Yeah, and most European countries with a BAN on handguns have a handful of murders per year compared to the U.S.'s over 10,000 per year.

    But why are we talking about that.

    You STILL didn't answer my question.

  • Actually crime is on the rise in Europe and already some countries like France have already higher crime statistics so much for your Bullshit Marxist propaganda.

  • Ech! Propoganda?

    Are you really going to try to make me or anyone reading your post that the US doesn't have a serious problem with murder by guns?

    And that Europe has a problem with it?

    Now THAT"s propoganda and pure lunacy.

  • The statistics speaks by themselves France now has a higher crime incidence problem than the U.S does.

  • Where did you find these stats? Please post.

  • This shows how you, the typical ignorant left, are very poorly educated. A true scientific comparison would require a society to ban guns and then see what happens to crime, or to start allowing guns and see what happens. You can't compare europe to us, because each society is different. Learn the scientific method before you try to use science to push your fascist agenda of taking away guns. Australia banned guns and total violence went way up including gun violence.

  • In typical Republican style ... anyone who doesn't agree with you is "fascist" "unAmerian" "unpatriotic" ... Get a grip, you loon!

    You are pulling stats out of your ASS ... Australia banned guns and violence went up? Please post some credible source, because this sounds like total bullshit .

    "Can't compare Europe to us" .. nice cop-out!

    Scientific method to prove guns kill people? Ugh .... you don't use the scientific method for this sort of study .. . Dumb!

  • It is true that a lot of countries with more gun restrictions have higher murder or/and crime rates.

  • Please provide sources of information. I do not believe you one bit.

    The USA definitely has one, if not THE, highest murder rate in the world.

  • Go to gunfacts (dot) info. Plenty of information to show you that you are wrong.

  • Is that some kind of Republican, right-wing, Christian-loving, propoganda website that loves to twists facts and figures to justify your morbid worship and love of guns?

  • Nope, but since you are afraid to look at anything that debunks your idiotic notions, I doubt you will look at it. Go ahead and live in ignorance.

  • No .. I looked through it ..

    I question some of those numbers .... Who is the guy who put them together?

    It's pretty common knowledge that the USA has the one of the worse crime rates in the world ... and this booklet says exactly the opposite?

    I find that hard to believe .... If this were true, and statistics really showed this .. wouldn't more people know it?

    Is it really safer to walk through the streets of a US city than those in western European ones?

    That seems doubtful.

  • It doesn't matter who put it together - he just gets his data from the sources he lists. Just because the media says we have one of the worst crime rates does not make it so. More than half of the gun deaths in the US are suicides. The intentional kill rate is fairly low, actually, considering our population. Lower than the knife crimes in the UK. Lower than those killed in cars or by the flu yearly. We have problems, but this is not a major one.

  • Well .. i need to take more time to read that booklet ... it seems the sources are mostly government stats?

    I found the stuff interesting about how most homocide victims are gang-related and that most of these victims had previous arrests.

  • Yeah, the gangs are certainly an issue. The gang problems stem from other societal issues. Even with gun control they'd still have guns. Your average citizen that carries a gun have almost non-existent incidents of using their firearms in crime or other times. I know it seems strange, but an armed populace is a polite one. When you have a gun and criminal intentions, a disarmed set of victims is just ripe for the picking. Gun control takes away the ability to defend oneself from outlaws.

  • Well, I personally don't like guns ...for myself ... but I can't help to feel ... especially in my neighborhood ... I live in a nice neighborhood .. that's not the problem .. it's the neighborhood next to mine. Well, I secretly wish that when these armed criminals approached a victim, that that victim would whip out a gun and shoot.

    I've only begun to feel that way of late ... I don't think you can "rehabilitate" a career "terrorist." They'll only continue to commit more crimes.

  • I can understand your dislike, however maybe you ought to get someone to take you to a firing range so you can lose some of that dislike. As for the shooting thing, people with concealed carry licenses are empowered to stop criminals should they witness certain crimes (the more violent crimes) against themselves or others. Things like assault, kidnapping, rape, etc.

  • Hmmm .. you're probably right. I'll download that booklet and take a closer look at it.

    Thanks for talking to me.

  • No problem! Have a good one.

  • You know at this rate you are going to end up in a second civil war and the vultures are going to eat what is left of america. He won the election, so he is president, if people think he is a screw up, someone else is going to become the next president. And frankly walking around with guns is kind of more fascist.

  • Well, show this typically ignorant and poorly educated leftist, who knows how to use a gun, and is aware of the responsibility involved in owning one, what science that would be. I'll listen, but if you're spewing BS, prepare to perform your best town hall hysterics, because I'll call you out on it.

  • OH my ... fascist agenda!

    So if one is pro-gun control .. that makes one a fascist?

    You Republic hysterical alarmists are hysterically funny with your extremism.

    I bet you think Obama is the next Adolph Hitler.

  • Everybody show up to a fight with guns, and WATCH that fight NOT happen. An armed society is a POLITE society.

  • This nimrod has said something bad is gonna happen for like a month, and nothing bad has happened. News flash, ya dont need a gun to kill somebody. We've been killing each other effectively since the beginning of time, without guns of course. And a good point to add. Do you think someone is gonna start a fist fight with a guy holding a rifle in the open? Is someone gonna start a fistfight with someone who is concealing their pistol? Hell yes, because they don't know they have it. Open carry baby

  • I beleive that the only reason people are bringing firearms to the town hall meeting is only to shoew that they have the right to. If anyone gets hurt it will be because some whackjob brings an unregistered firearm to a town hall meeting with his/her own intentions to harm someone, and reguardless of party I bet that one of the lawfully armed civilian would be the first person to take out someone causing harm.

  • Looks like the Libtards need to have their

    teeth taken away at the protests, no one has been shot, but a Libtard bit off a finger.

  • Fuck the Libtards, long live the 2nd Amendment. The Young Turds cannot show a single instance where the weapons were used to threaten anyone in those meetings even when bullied by the Union Gestapo security forces.

  • 1:30 Is Cenk doing an imitation of you at 1:30?

    Why in the hell do you need a fucking gun at a town hall meeting where people are supposed to be TALKING and DISCUSSING issues in a civil manner?

  • Has it occurred to you that such people already have permits to carry guns in that manner and probably due so because of either the nature of their jobs such as taking the money they collected from their businesses to the bank and so on. None of those people were carrying an illegal firearm

  • But you still didn't answer my question.

  • Yes I have you just don't want to hear it, as long as somebody is legally owning and carrying a gun I have no problem if that person shows to an Ivy league meeting with it.

  • You still didn't answer my question.

    Showing up to a meeting where DISCUSSION and CIVIL DISCOURSE are expected is not an appropriate place to show off your fucking assault rifle.

    It's an INTIMIDATION tactic for podunk bubbas to show off since they probably do not know how to debate a topic, let alone have the vocabulary for it.

    All they know how to do is shout and scream dumb catch-phrases they heard Rush Loudmouth Limbaugh or Bill Loumouth O'Reilly coin.

  • The question was,

    Why does anyone need an assault rifle at a town hall meeting?

    Answering with ... "it's legal .. 2nd amendment! .. and I don't care if he's shows up to a Boy Scout meeting with a gun..." would not constitute an answer to my question.
