You can't have bombs, you can't have all types of things.
Weapons of mass destruction, I mean that's what I would consider one of those guns for sure.
So an AR-15 is a weapon of mass destruction.
What do you base that?
What do you base that definition or that category off of?
I mean just the fact that it can kill, you know, a large amount of people quickly.
I mean who cares about this stuff?
I care about people dying.
Well, what's your angle at it?
Who cares?
Who cares if people are dying?
No, like, yeah, I mean, who cares, really?
So are you guys familiar with Kamala Harris, who's running for president?
Yes.
What do you guys think about her?
She's alright.
Do you guys know about her plan to implement gun control and the form of banning all AR-15s by executive action if Congress doesn't do it within the first 100 days of taking office?
No.
No, now that I told you, would you guys support something like that?
Yeah.
Not sure yet.
So you said yes.
Why would you support that?
I don't know.
I'm just not, I mean, I'm not a big, I mean, just handguns is alright, but I mean, you gotta stop somewhere.
So you said handguns are okay, but AR-15s are not.
Yeah, I mean, just like, I mean, there's bans on all types of stuff.
You can't have bombs, you can't have all types of things.
Weapons of mass destruction, I mean, that's what I would consider one of those guns for sure.
So an AR-15 is a weapon of mass destruction.
What do you base that?
What do you base that definition or that category off of?
I mean, just the fact that it can kill, you know, a large amount of people quickly.
Do you think that AR-15s are the most commonly used weapon in mass shootings?
No, I don't think that really matters.
Okay.
I mean, it's just when they're used, I mean, when you hear about them being used, they're used to kill a lot of people.
You know what I'm saying?
Sometimes, yes.
Would you be willing to ban another type of firearm that is the cause for most homicides in this country?
I think it's more the fact that it can kill a lot more people.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, yeah, handguns probably, I mean, maybe knives, fights, stuff like that.
I mean, yeah, it kills, you know, probably a lot of people with the longer term, different, you know, single type people, but I don't know.
Well, actually, every year, more people are killed by knives than they are by rifles, by blunt objects than they are by rifles, cars than they are by rifles, drowning in a swimming pool than they are by rifles, handguns than they are by rifles.
So are rifles what we should be focused on?
Well, no, because that's just one person.
I mean, if somebody is, you know, the way you hear about, you know, AR-15s, if there's a shoot up at school or something like that, they have a knife, they're not going to be able to do as much as they can with something like that.
I mean, a knife, yeah, maybe it kills the most people, like you said, but that's just, you know, single altercations.
What about the people who defend their homes from burglars or they defend their children with AR-15s?
They hunt with AR-15s, they use it for self-protection.
What about those instances where lives are saved every year because of AR-15s?
I mean, what about that?
I mean, if it's banned, who cares?
That lives are saved?
No, they can still keep their guns.
If it's banned, who gives a they can still keep their stuff.
I mean, what are they going to do?
Come and steal it from?
Who cares?
Well, that is what the government does.
Right, but if you were smart, you would just keep it and you wouldn't say anything and you would be able to hold on to that forever.
Who cares?
So you're kind of showing that a ban doesn't even work.
Gun control doesn't work because you're saying we can ban it, but why wouldn't people just keep it anyway?
So you're kind of proving that gun control doesn't work, would you say?
No, I mean there's a decent amount of people that are going to be like, okay, I'm not going to, if they can't purchase it, they're not going to purchase it.
But if they can, you know, if they've already got it and there's people that want to keep it, like you said, whatever, they're going to keep it.
They're out in the middle of nowhere.
Who cares?
Okay, so a ban.
What I get from this is that a ban wouldn't work.
Can you tell me anything maybe that has been banned?
Drugs, drugs are banned.
Meth is banned, parawin's banned.
Do people still use that?
I mean, it's a different type of stuff.
Okay.
I mean, I don't really see what you're trying to get at.
Well, there's an epidemic with I mean, who cares about this stuff?
I care about people dying.
Well, what's your angle at it?
Who cares?
Who cares if people are dying?
No, like, yeah, I mean, who cares, really?
I care.
I care about all kinds of people dying, the unborn.
I care about them dying.
I care about people in mass shootings dying.
I care.
Why are you doing this, though?
Like, who?
Just getting people's questions.
I mean, we're gonna, we vote.
You guys vote?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, then, I think that, um, I think your opinion is important.
I would like to, I mean, we're doing this for work here at Liberty Hangout.
So that's why we're doing it.
Liberty Hangout.
Yep.
Fair enough.
Cool.
Have a good day.
Well, I hope you guys find compassion for people that are dying.
