=== Why AR-15 Bans Don't Work (04:28) ===

[00:00:00]  I mean there's bans on all types of stuff.
[00:00:01]  You can't have bombs, you can't have all types of things.
[00:00:04]  Weapons of mass destruction, I mean that's what I would consider one of those guns for sure.
[00:00:09]  So an AR-15 is a weapon of mass destruction.
[00:00:11]  What do you base that?
[00:00:12]  What do you base that definition or that category off of?
[00:00:16]  I mean just the fact that it can kill, you know, a large amount of people quickly.
[00:00:20]  I mean who cares about this stuff?
[00:00:23]  I care about people dying.
[00:00:25]  Well, what's your angle at it?
[00:00:26]  Who cares?
[00:00:27]  Who cares if people are dying?
[00:00:30]  No, like, yeah, I mean, who cares, really?
[00:00:36]  So are you guys familiar with Kamala Harris, who's running for president?
[00:00:40]  Yes.
[00:00:40]  What do you guys think about her?
[00:00:42]  She's alright.
[00:00:44]  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?
[00:00:57]  No.
[00:00:59]  No, now that I told you, would you guys support something like that?
[00:01:03]  Yeah.
[00:01:04]  Not sure yet.
[00:01:06]  So you said yes.
[00:01:07]  Why would you support that?
[00:01:09]  I don't know.
[00:01:11]  I'm just not, I mean, I'm not a big, I mean, just handguns is alright, but I mean, you gotta stop somewhere.
[00:01:18]  So you said handguns are okay, but AR-15s are not.
[00:01:21]  Yeah, I mean, just like, I mean, there's bans on all types of stuff.
[00:01:25]  You can't have bombs, you can't have all types of things.
[00:01:28]  Weapons of mass destruction, I mean, that's what I would consider one of those guns for sure.
[00:01:32]  So an AR-15 is a weapon of mass destruction.
[00:01:35]  What do you base that?
[00:01:36]  What do you base that definition or that category off of?
[00:01:40]  I mean, just the fact that it can kill, you know, a large amount of people quickly.
[00:01:45]  Do you think that AR-15s are the most commonly used weapon in mass shootings?
[00:01:51]  No, I don't think that really matters.
[00:01:54]  Okay.
[00:01:55]  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.
[00:02:01]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:02:03]  Sometimes, yes.
[00:02:05]  Would you be willing to ban another type of firearm that is the cause for most homicides in this country?
[00:02:12]  I think it's more the fact that it can kill a lot more people.
[00:02:15]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:02:16]  Like, yeah, handguns probably, I mean, maybe knives, fights, stuff like that.
[00:02:21]  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.
[00:02:30]  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.
[00:02:43]  So are rifles what we should be focused on?
[00:02:46]  Well, no, because that's just one person.
[00:02:48]  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.
[00:03:02]  I mean, a knife, yeah, maybe it kills the most people, like you said, but that's just, you know, single altercations.
[00:03:09]  What about the people who defend their homes from burglars or they defend their children with AR-15s?
[00:03:15]  They hunt with AR-15s, they use it for self-protection.
[00:03:19]  What about those instances where lives are saved every year because of AR-15s?
[00:03:24]  I mean, what about that?
[00:03:25]  I mean, if it's banned, who cares?
[00:03:27]  That lives are saved?
[00:03:28]  No, they can still keep their guns.
[00:03:30]  If it's banned, who gives a they can still keep their stuff.
[00:03:34]  I mean, what are they going to do?
[00:03:34]  Come and steal it from?
[00:03:36]  Who cares?
[00:03:36]  Well, that is what the government does.
[00:03:39]  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.
[00:03:43]  Who cares?
[00:03:44]  So you're kind of showing that a ban doesn't even work.
[00:03:47]  Gun control doesn't work because you're saying we can ban it, but why wouldn't people just keep it anyway?
[00:03:54]  So you're kind of proving that gun control doesn't work, would you say?
[00:03:57]  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.
[00:04:05]  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.
[00:04:11]  They're out in the middle of nowhere.
[00:04:12]  Who cares?

=== Why Care About Mass Shootings? (01:10) ===

[00:04:14]  Okay, so a ban.
[00:04:16]  What I get from this is that a ban wouldn't work.
[00:04:19]  Can you tell me anything maybe that has been banned?
[00:04:22]  Drugs, drugs are banned.
[00:04:25]  Meth is banned, parawin's banned.
[00:04:27]  Do people still use that?
[00:04:29]  I mean, it's a different type of stuff.
[00:04:32]  Okay.
[00:04:32]  I mean, I don't really see what you're trying to get at.
[00:04:35]  Well, there's an epidemic with I mean, who cares about this stuff?
[00:04:39]  I care about people dying.
[00:04:42]  Well, what's your angle at it?
[00:04:43]  Who cares?
[00:04:44]  Who cares if people are dying?
[00:04:46]  No, like, yeah, I mean, who cares, really?
[00:04:49]  I care.
[00:04:49]  I care about all kinds of people dying, the unborn.
[00:04:52]  I care about them dying.
[00:04:53]  I care about people in mass shootings dying.
[00:04:55]  I care.
[00:04:56]  Why are you doing this, though?
[00:04:57]  Like, who?
[00:04:57]  Just getting people's questions.
[00:04:59]  I mean, we're gonna, we vote.
[00:05:01]  You guys vote?
[00:05:02]  Yeah.
[00:05:03]  Okay.
[00:05:03]  Well, then, I think that, um, I think your opinion is important.
[00:05:06]  I would like to, I mean, we're doing this for work here at Liberty Hangout.
[00:05:10]  So that's why we're doing it.
[00:05:12]  Liberty Hangout.
[00:05:14]  Yep.
[00:05:15]  Fair enough.
[00:05:16]  Cool.
[00:05:17]  Have a good day.
[00:05:17]  Well, I hope you guys find compassion for people that are dying.
[00:05:21]  So support my work.
