guns don't kill people, people kill people

The right to bear arms is an unalienable right. DEAL WITH IT!

"lets just call them what they are crazies, paranoids" take careful note of the language used, how it's used and the tone of the guys voice. at base what that is is a dehumanization of a group of people. hey guy, you dehumanize them, they dehumanize you, it goes both ways.

[Branko Dzokic]

if you can't talk about something openly, have to creep around in the fucking shadows, doing all this shit covertly, speaking in code, then there's something seriously wrong with what you are doing.

[Branko Dzokic]

did I just tell the truth again....my bad....I can't help it.

[Branko Dzokic]

what the fuck is this........."this is a cost of their business model, externalizing it onto the rest of us just as with pollution"............I'd love to know what "business model" they are really talking about..I don't think it's actually that of the NRA or gun manufacturers, I think that is a cover for something else.....because just as the title says it doesn't happen in a vacuum.

This is what happens when you give two over-privileged, isolated people a Youtube channel. You get nonsense which runs counter to the realities of human life and natural selection.

Lets say magazine sizes are limited to 10 rounds a mag. All of a sudden, my AR-15 has the same firepower as my Ruger 10/22. I won't be needing to shoot a target at 100 yards, so why even bring a rifle? Pistols are 10 times easier to sneak in a public place, and have the same or more stopping power than a 5.56. I honestly don't really care what happens, but I doubt that limiting mag capacity will stop a crazy from trying to kill people. /endrant

People pay attention to mass killings, not to the shit that happens every day. It doesnt even matter if it will work or not, but some idiots have it engraved in their minds that banning assault weapons will stop homocides and mass killings all together. Nobody realizes that almost ALL gun crimes are commited with pistols, for some reason, and they are too blinded by their emotions to think with reason.

Wow you two are out there and I'm talking way out there.
