Penn and Teller’s Bullsh*t! show, speaking about gun control and how useless it is. Needless to say, there’s language used. If that bothers you, then don’t watch it.
I’m not libertarian, but Penn & Teller make a lot of sense sometimes.
Yes, I’m a member of the NRA. I believe in the right (yes, a right) to bear arms. I do believe that if more people had concealed weapons permits, it would help, and not hurt, in situations such as the recent Virginia Tech shootings.
And if you’re someone who wants a concealed weapons permit, odds are you are one who is not afraid to use it in the appropriate situation. And that’s why there are rules/processes to obtain a concealed carry permit. Here in California, it is up to your local county sheriff to make the call.
Anyways, I get tired of hearing the same old baloney every time there’s some mass shooting in the news. Newsanchors/public blaming guns, lack of gun control, blaming video games, etc… God forbid we actually blame the thing responsible— the person who was firing the weapon!
Look, we have enough gun control laws. And criminals, murderers and general psychopaths just don’t care about those laws. If they want to harm someone, they’re going to. Regardless of what the law says. What if this guy had used a knife instead of a gun to murder 30+ people? Would we be hearing public outcry against the lack of knife control laws?
Guns are tools, and can be used for good as well as bad. Don’t blame them for what their owner is doing with them.
I suggest everyone check out A Human Right.
