Why Guns Make Americans Happy - Rich Hall |

[@insanehippiehippieinsane3828]

Yes the American Founding Fathers did know about the advancement of fire arms and that there would be rapid firing ones eventually. Rapid firing fire arms existed at the time. They were just very exspensive and prone to miss fire and chain fireing. One of the founding fathers gave a 30 round gun to Lewis and Clarke.

[@TwinMcQuerns]

Yes and they were perfectly fine with men owning ships with cannons. In those days a well armed ship could do all kinds of damage. The modern equivalent would be owning a fully loaded B-52 and a squad of f-16's, and employing a company of Marines.

This remarkable, polymath has another private and most generous side to him: in the last decade, he personally mobilised fellow comedians into a Pro-bono effort to raise money for a Vocational Free-School, for students diagnosed with Autism, many of whom were excluded from education or were "refusers" from education. I won't name his "comedy pals", but he is a big man, leading a big life!

Rich Hall, the quintessential British American :-)

[@larkop6504]

Had an American boss a few years back, near retirement age, professional decent bloke, spent 2 weeks in UK, 2 back in the US and he flew back on the Friday, I was new to the business and was working the weekend, he said any problems give me a call. Found a common defect on these huge cast iron assemblies was going to ruin production for weeks so thought better give the boss a call. He lost his mind completely, not because I called but because he was stalking dear and the call scared off the prey. Lol he was livid for weeks.

Is Rich Hall appreciated in the US? He's a total legend in the UK, great stand up routines and some spiffing documentaries too.

[@jamescarter3196]

Those of us who saw him here on Tv and read his books in the '80s appreciate him, but he went to Britain so long ago that I have to explain to most people who he is.

I bumped into him in Camden Town around 2006-7 ish at a storage facility as I was moving out of the area, he wore lots of denim, strangely so did Golum guy Andy Serkis as I saw him waiting for someone to see his movie at the Camden Town Odeon, some WW1 drama.

I asked him why he had such a big gun and he told me he was "sick of making more work for himself".

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

I used to make fun of gun owners until I purchased a gun. Now I wish I had bought one sooner and recommend everyone else get one too. I live in the city that in my lifetime has had two race riots. One of them lasted for three days and required the National Guard to be called. I had gone to visit my grandmother who lived in a very poor part of town in a trailer park. The riots started Friday night and for three days no one could get in or out of our neighborhood without risking their lives. People who stopped at a red light at an intersection a few blocks to our east were pulled out of their cars and beat to death. I think three dozen people died and the damages were in the hundreds of millions of dollars. My grandmother had a small 22 caliber Spanish Astra pistol that was so old the bullets were green. I was more afraid of firing it than the rioters. Then a few years later I was in a hurricane that hit the city and we were without police protection for several days. A few years ago I finally bought a small self-defense firearm and I don't have to worry about not having police protection for the house. I'm not worried about people coming to take things other than my life. If you think police protection is always going to be available and you can always count on someone else to save your life from people who are breaking down your doors or climbing through your windows you might be right. Good luck. I used to live in an apartment building on the fourth floor and one of my neighbors was a late middle-aged teacher who slept every night with all the lights on in her apartment because one night she found someone had climbed up her building got into her fourth floor balcony and was trying to come through her sliding glass door. I don't think they were coming for her camouflage wedding outfit. By the way, a few years after the riots my grandmother was sitting in her chair by her door of her trailer watching television at night. My brother was sleeping in the back bedroom. He woke up when he heard her screaming. He didn't do anything at first because he thought she was yelling at the television because she sometimes did that. Then he realized something was the matter and got up and ran to the front to find a young man beating her to death. Or trying to. My brother chased the man out of the trailer and down the street but he got away. My grandmother's face was disfigured and her eye drooped down and she was in intensive care for two weeks. She died about six months later. She had other ailments but I think the beating and hospital stay exacerbated her ailments tremendously. This was not a robbery. This was somebody trying to beat an old lady to death. So yeah, Americans buy guns. I can understand you making fun of some of us for having guns but can you understand why some of us have to have them?

[@DodderingOldMan]

Fair enough, but the thing that really baffles non-Americans is how the solution Americans come up with for the problems that makes you want guns tends to be more guns, rather than actually making society better.

[@AdamBomb5794]

TLDR

[@jochenstacker7448]

Owning a gun should never be the solution. Making a country better should be the solution. I'm worried about the US, because some of the stories sound like Iraq and Afghanistan. If guns aren't the problem, but people are, does it make sense to give violent people with zero problem solving skills more and more guns?

That's how muskets were loaded, and that's the action of your pretending to load a musket. He came to it from a different angle, so it's fair use , and he didnt plagiarise Jim's whole piece, it's his take on the difference between muskets and today's rifles..his duck analogy sums that up, and that's pretty funny lol.

American??!! DOH 😵‍💫

[@onpsxmember]

That bit (if really based on his neighbour) makes me think it is partially based on ignorance. Waterfowl is hunted with shotguns and non toxic shot. There are several shotguns that are based on an AK action like from Saiga or other manufacturers that look similar. Seeing a 'bad' rifle doesn't make it an AK-47. There are very little AK-47 in the USA, almost all AK variants are AKM. If his neighbour isn't hunting illegally and scraped together 30-50k $ for a pre-1986 ban kit he won't have a full auto AK-47. If he went hunting with him or maybe fishing instead, he'd get to know his neighbour a bit better. The advertising line (2: 07) would mean any violent action movie seen around the world would have the same effect on people. The peaceful brits need a sign saying 'please don't glass the paramedics'. The big difference is the USA is the horrible state of the regular school system and medical care in the USA. If someone wants to find a gun to do ill they'll find one. If not, stabby female in a bus rakes up 12+ bodies or a truck can be stolen to harm others. Stopping that violent BS before it starts to manifest in a head would be actually helpful. But that would be complicated and cost more. If you want less violence overall in the US of A, get those idjits laid by legalizing prostitution with medic aid and taxes, and write into law 4 weeks paid vacation. That calms people down and gives a different outlook on life. Simple solutions like way back "It's the devil's music" or "It's videogames", "It's guns" are easier on the mind but achieve nothing. The media also have their part in this: Look at mass attacks in the 70s when guns could be mail ordered to your doorstep. In schools mostly a single bully or teacher was attacked and that was it. After the news made someone popular, named them with a picture and kept a tally of victims, suddenly some crazies want to be famous for a higher body count. Thx mass media. If they wouldn't mention name and specific details there'd be less random mass attacks. Rich is quite the history buff but doesn't look into the 2A and it's history. I like Rich and lots of his comedy, especially the Tom Cruise bit.

Same here 🇬🇧 , semi only, always on a fire arm certificate. It's not worth owning one "off ticket"... criminal record and messes up your chances of getting a decent job afterwards. There was fully autos here but a low life did a shooting with an AK in the Nineties.

Germans felt the same way in the early 1900s about gun control

[@zivkovicable]

A NRA talking point that is nowhere near the truth. Guns weren't banned in Germany, except for Jews, and that wasn't until 1938, five years after the fun moustache guy came to power...If you think Jews could have done anything about their fate, they only made up 1% of the German population, so I doubt it.
