  1. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you say but I'm going to nitpick a fact. The US was spending as much as the next 11 countries combined BEFORE they just increased spending for "defense" by about 80 billion per year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures

  2. Yeah, the mass shootings that are uniquely American compared to other countries are a "distraction." Unless of course you are one of the people who is shot. But that only happens once every few days.

  3. This is suppose to be a "can do" society. And if you do accept the fact that these mass shootings are happening even thou the same shit doesn't happen in other countries then I think it is logical that people be trying to figure out what we "can do." Because doing nothing is not getting it done.

  4. You do realize an awful lot has changed since then right? You do realize the writers of the constitution went out of their way to make sure it could be changed right? It is called an amendment for fucks sake so you can't just pretend like it can't be changed just because can you?

  5. I honestly don't give a fuck what the founders "intent" hundreds of years ago was. I care about the hear and now and in the hear and now arguments protecting people right to stockpile weapons are fucking absurd and have no place in today's society.

  6. Back to the future promised me flying cars. That is what I want.

  7. Except I can't shout fire in a theater because of the 1st amendment and you can't own a tank because of the 2nd amendment so let's not pretend those amendments aren't restricted because they are.

  8. What a sad, pathetic, and lazy way to dismiss my point hans. I'm sure you have never made a typo either, especially in the all important arena of the youtube comments section where spelling and grammar are supremely important. I would like to add that if you actually didn't care about my opinion the way to have demonstrated it would have been by not responding to me. What you did actually demonstrates that you do care because actions speak louder than words.

  9. hans regarding, "Add this question to the ballot" How about something that isn't so loaded, disingenuous and leading? How about a simple, do you favor universal background checks? For starters, because I'm pretty sure my opinion on that isn't in the "minority" despite the stupid things you say. But who cares that I call you out for saying stupid things. You don't actually care what I think am I right?

  10. hans, wow. Just wow. Forgive me but I don't have the ambition to address why literally everything you say is wrong but regarding, "we already have universal background checks" is empirically false. I'm not sure if you are lying intentionally or just stupid but what you are saying here, like everything else you say, is just wrong. "Currently, federal law requires background checks (through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System) only for guns sold through licensed firearm dealers, which account for 78% of all gun sales in the United States." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_background_check
