  1. Canada got it's independence by asking. America used guns. Just saying.

  2. Joey, how is your little pea shooter going to stack up against tanks and planes and drones? That strategy worked fine when the military just had the same weapons as the common man but more of them, like in the civil war era, but nowadays their bombs are much bigger than all your assault rifles so they are all but irrelevant.

  3. Yeah, parts of American culture and Freedom have always made me raise an eyebrow or 3.

  4. Alex, I don't think some little collective of citizens are going to fare well against the military. The gun nut's little pea shooter is great for getting a single intruder, but up against what the state has it's absolutely irrelevant. If you think an AR15 can stop the force the government can bring, then you go right on ahead and tell me how that goes.

  5. Are you an expert in all the areas you disagree with Pinker about?

  6. You watched all of that, and that's what you came away with? This man is deliberately lying? What's his devious ploy? What's the endgame?

  7. You saw a different interview than I did. That, or you were seriously reading between the lines. I prefer to take people at face value.

  8. It would be weird to agree with someone on absolutely everything they said. That's called blind worship. You sir have what's known as an open mind and that's great.

  9. That's interesting. Thanks for the insight!

  10. The interview about a guy talking in broad terms about the progress we've made over the last several decades was a waste because they didn't talk specifically about Trump? Fuck, everyone's utter obsession with the guy borders on clinical.

  11. Thank you! At least I've found 2 other people who understand that their guns are bigger than my guns and we all know how that ends.

  12. You mean in the days before the government had tanks, planes with bombs, and drones? An armed resistance today would be very ineffective.

  13. I get where you are going with that and I see your point, but I still can't imagine in any way, shape for from the average US citizenry is competing with the US Army. There aren't caves and jungles and places to obfuscate a fight, especially on home soil. We'll agree to disagree. If you want to try it out, then have at it and tell me how it goes.

  14. I'm amazed at how many triggered gun nuts posted comments.
