to those jokers talking about the child and his trauma or form....You are b. s. They were testing to see the knowledge the kid learned from video games. So real life he didn't know weaver, modified weaver, shouldering or cutting the pie tactics. They were not there to train him. And him crying....He is a young child! Guns are loud, smelly and can really bite. He did a great job of even trying to fire without training. Police and military won't even put a gun in your hand without hours training.

Aww who cares whether his mom said it or not. The kid was sensitive, which is a GOOD thing. I've played games my whole life since I was a little girl, scary games made me sensitive too, but I enjoyed them nevertheless 'cause games and movies and books are entertainment, nothing more. I was never driven to violent behavior by them, in real life I'm a total wuss. lol I love animated blood and gore, but real life gore and blood makes me sick. Great episode, P&T!

When doctors say things like 'Increased blood-flow to this area of the brain; which we believe is the center for violent behavior" You need to pay attention to their words . They do not know with %100 certainty what each part of the brain does. Or more accurately, doctors do not know that the areas of the brain that control violent behavior do not also serve other functions. So these MRI scans are in no way evidence of anything.

After reading up on the AR 14s recoil that kid might just be nothing but a PUss. I wanna shoot one now and see if my comments are bullshit.

[Casnazer]

Fine, then it was the kick, bad taste in his mouth, and loud add fuck noise that made him cry.

[clipsryan]

@Casnazer I'm pretty sure the recoil wasn't what had him crying at the end.

@StuffedAnimalPlanet War is never the answer and most do it for money and job oppertunities considering alot of our wars weren't justified but any time you criticize the war or soldiers, you're an anti-american according to conservatives.

[clipsryan]

@StuffedAnimalPlanet Liberals are more peaceful but they also care about statistics and like the two liberal men in this video, they can actually provide facts. If they attack anything, it's the truly violent people that shoot liberal congresswomen and support bigotted politicians but that's another issue.

I know you're not and fantasy is fantasy. This is what conservatives can't seem to get through their thick skulls.

@StuffedAnimalPlanet You really should've done this in a PM but whatever. Defend themselves? That's what licenses are for. Most don't have a license and if you wanna defend yourself, actually learn self defense and maybe get a taser.

[Casnazer]

To everyone who tells me "that's the point, Penn n Teller are showing he's not a killing machine now" , your missing the point. Why not see the kids reaction if he shot a gun t that didn't knock the shit out him. Let him shoot a 22 to see his reaction, not a fucking elephant fun.

@clipsryan #9 Let's see...nope, out of things to say. Thanks for reading all of this!

[StuffedAnimalPlanet]

@clipsryan #8 you are certianly right about 1 thing (and probably right about a few more). People who love soldiers shouldn't hate COD.
