  1.  @alessandrohuber4407  Well his claims at the end talking about American gun policy were literal manipulations, common in mainstream establishment circles to push for gun control, literally every talking point made about American gun ownership has been addressed and refuted in the US, like for example bringing up suicides is useless when gun suicides aren't even the majority of suicides in the US, majority of those cases are drug related. Or completely ignoring the fact that the overwhelming majority of gun homicides is inner city gang crime where it has been basically illegal for the average citizen to own a gun, and if you remove the cities and states where gun ownership is basically illegal in the US, the crime rate drops to nearly nothing. As an example, in New Jersey you aren't allowed to carry a gun at all except to a gun range or to a hunting spot, and if you "make a detour" you can be arrested for it, and if you don't separate your ammo far away from your gun and keep your gun as far away from you in your vehicle as possible, you'll be arrested, and Jersey was (at the time of stats) also a no-issue state where self-defense is not a justification for a permit and for which you have to pay exorbitant fees in order to get said permit. And if you enter New Jersey with a gun and don't have a Jersey permit you will be jailed anyway. This is how most US cities operate (if you're not black, which they practically never arrest) and all of the US states for which have strict gun control, and for which the majority of gun crimes take place in, all of which were illegal already to own. And this is my issue with this discussion, when you look at states and townships that don't ban guns, the gun homicide rate and mass shooting rates drop dramatically, Texas has some of the least restrictive gun laws and also has some of the lowest rates of both and has the highest record homicide prevention use by a gun, which by itself is already statistically more then the homicide rate itself. I could go on and on and on about this topic as a massive 2A advocate this is a topic I've had to constantly argue for, and for which I have personal experience over, just know a lot of things he says about American gun culture is highly manipulative that us American 2A advocates have already roundly debunked. And this is why this video pissed me off so badly. (like for example, Jefferson directly attests in his letters that military weapons are for all citizens to own, not to participate in a militia, Jefferson denotes it as a fundamental right of the individual, not as foremost a duty to the collective, and he's not the only one)

  2.  @swagmaster6922  Not according to the Constitution its not, so says Jefferson, also no amount of policy would have an effect because majority of the issues have nothing to do with guns, suicide rates not using guns are already higher in the US, most cases are with drugs, if someone wants to commit suicide, you can't stop them, removing the gun is irrelevant, as for mass shootings, being over 600 is almost certainly a falsely inflated number by a wrongful definition of the term designed to manipulate you, its propaganda, not fact. And pretty much every mass shooting was committed by someone who should've been convicted and thus shouldn't have been able to legally own a gun or had already acquired their gun illegally anyway. 500 people dying in a year is as well completely insignificant in a population of 330 million, way more people die in car crashes every year and there's less cars in the US then guns. Almost all gun homicides, which will include teenage killings, is because of inner city gang crime, places where it was already illegal to even own a gun, in California it is hard to get a gun then in Italy, LA, San Fran, NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Portland, Detroit, Boston, Baltimore, ect. it has practically always been illegal to own a gun, no common civilian can buy one because a permit is required which have until the Bruen decision been may-issue, in most cases being no-issue, making it illegal to own. It also tends to be illegal to carry, for example in New Jersey (New York and California have similar laws) it was illegal to be found carrying a gun at all even with a permit unless you were traveling directly to a gun range or maybe to go hunting, and your gun has to be separated from the ammo and placed as far away from you and the ammo as possible. That's with a New Jersey permit, if you have an out of state permit, you can't even do that, if you are found with a gun in your possession while in the state you will straight up be arrested, and they can search you at the mere belief that you have a gun. In Texas the gun homicide rate and mass shooting count, despite being one of the largest populations in the union, has some of the lowest rates and they've only been decreasing. Gun regulation has never been associated with a drop in crime or homicide, and you can't fix suicide by regulating guns, they're not even responsible for majority of suicides.

  4. This is still straight up false propaganda, (admitted to at the end of the video when claiming it has something to do with policy, but the question is why?) foremost most of the American Founders were actually opposed to all gun regulations, many of them spoke on this fact, like Jefferson being the clearest case when speaking about unregulated civilian ownership of warships and cannons, and for which SCOTUS formed the text, history, and tradition argument over the past year, and for which is constantly demonstrating that all forms of regulation even on training were demonstrably disallowed in order just to own a gun. Unintentional gun deaths being near 500 in 2019 is completely irrelevant in a population of 330 million. As for gun homicides, teens killed by guns, (which I'm betting is just part of gun homicides, so that's manipulative) and mass shootings, (which itself is deliberately inflated by a false definition of a mass shooting, which again is manipulative) well first off there is no policy that could fix any of that, almost every case was the gun being acquired illegally or what would've legally been barred from owning a gun already, usually because a person that should've been convicted of a crime was simply not despite the FBI and local law enforcement openly knowing and often inquiring about their intent to harm others, that's not a rights thing, the person was already breaking the law to some degree but they never get convicted and are conveniently just left to kill people. Also majority of gun homicides themselves are straight up inner city gang crime where it is or was already illegal to own a gun for all but the richest of civilians. (who I might add do not commit violent crime and thus from a statistical standpoint, it is illegal to own gun in every case for which guns were used in a crime before the crime happened) Yes you heard right, in many cities it is or was completely illegal to own a gun, even when the Bruen decision happened, many cities to this day still enforce Unconstitutional mandates where gun ownership is illegal, in LA, San Fran, NYC, Portland, DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, and beyond it was, especially at the recording of every statistic listed, completely illegal to own a gun at all in those cities, and in New York, California, and New Jersey, if you were even caught carrying a weapon in your vehicle you will go straight to jail immediately even if you have an out of state permit, (and the state officers can subject you to search for this at their leisure) instate permits in these states was may issue but in most cases was no issue and a permit was necessary in order to carry legally already. And to get an instate permit you had to live there and justify the ownership of a gun in a manner that was not self-defense, even further you were then stuck on a waiting day, this being only after a federally mandated national and universal background check. (note in the US, all gun sales require a "universal" background check, you also need one in order to shoot at a range) In states and places where guns are not heavily regulated like in Texas they don't have such homicide rates or actual mass shootings, its specifically in the states with strict gun control and cities with practical prohibition on guns (it is easier to legally get a gun in Italy then it is in California or New York) where all these rates reside in. As for suicides, you're not talking about homicides, and guns aren't even the most prolific when it comes to suicide attempts which is drugs and nobody talks about the most prolific killers in the US being medical malpractice, heart disease, and cancer. And when I refer to cancer, I can still refer to say lung cancer and it will still be correct to say it kills more people then guns ever have, and majority of which is directly or indirectly associated with smoking, heart disease is directly affiliated with eating habits, drugs even still are a bigger killer, legal opioid use alone still kills more then legal gun ownership ever has. Also statistically the CDC confirmed that gun ownership in the US have saved more lives then have ever have in being taken. As an aside suicides can't be prevented by law, that statistic is useless because even without guns, suicide rates would not change, removing guns wouldn't fix the problem, that's a societal problem that can't be legally corrected. (well least not with the regulation of ownership, perhaps if we stopped over-prescribing medications for the most minor of problems it would help)

  8.  @mouseprotector5081  Then you simply don't know anything about inner city blacks, even the FBI statistics actually back this up, not only is nationwide shootings against blacks from cops well below expected for the crime rate whereas with whites is much too high for the crime rate, but majority of even repeat offenders in inner cities never get arrested, I've routinely watched black folks completely ignore the law in Philadelphia never once get arrested, like driving ATVs on main roads into the city directly in front of cops, but if a white man is caught doing it he's pulled over and thrown into the back of a cruiser. ATVs are not road legal, but so long as the driver is black they can get away with anything. Cops don't even patrol the cities, go to Kensington in Philly and getting shot is highly likely especially if you're white, its full of inner city blacks where cops don't even dare go, drug sales happen on every corner, gang crime is a regular occurrence and city completely ignores it, and it expands beyond just Kensington. New York City also has a similar problem, its been a regular case that if you commit a crime, if you are black, you pretty much will be ignored. In California cities the burglary limit for crime is $1000, (as in legally you can steal anything from a store so long as its under $1000) and cops let most crimes even above that go, especially if you're black. I've been witness to entire riots of black kids just completely rampaging entire shopping areas in Philly for no reason even and the cops did nothing to stop any of them, none of them were arrested, all of them are still walking the streets right now, many of them still rob shops regularly and still don't get arrested. The AGs in most states with these cities have an explicit policy of never prosecuting black crimes, and the city governments also openly admit it, in LA and San Fran the mayors have openly said as much. All of the these things can be empirically proven right now, Youtube however bans links.
