@@jackstiles458 said: "criminals are in jail not roaming around amongst the public. A crime is determined by jurors and a judge not you." Criminals are people who break the law, whether they are prosecuted or not. A crime is an action which contravenes one or more laws. It needs no determination. There are MANY criminals roaming around on the streets. You can watch footage of assholes stealing everything in the store and strolling right out the door. Those criminals roam free. Are you suggesting that a man who killed a woman and is running free is not a criminal? Are you suggesting that jurors and the judge determine what a crime is? You were either really drunk, you have an egregious understanding of how the Justice system works, or you need to check yourself into a mental health institution.

I'm Swiss, I often visited the US. I would LOVE to have the right to carry even as a tourist. In Switzerland, we had the right to carry WITHOUT PERMIT until 1999. The law was only changed because of pressure from the EU. We had NO PROBLEMS with 3 guns per household. Crime rates INCREASED substantially once gun carry was prohibited. So these girls mentioned SWEDEN? 😅 They didn't catch up with the news, did they? They have a MASSIVE problem with violent crime and especially shootouts among ... migrant gangs, which even use bombs etc. It's a cultural problem, not a gun problem. And how about all those terror attacks around the UK?

[@heatheruntz5315]

What do you have to do to to get a permit in Switzerland? Is there a restriction on how many you can own? Is there a restriction on owning ammunition? What kind of firearms can you own? Are there magazine capacity limitations there? Sorry for all the questions. I was just under the impression that Switzerland was similar to the US, so your statement made me curious.

I see it often. A human mind is able to, and impressively, manipulate a perfectly logical line of reason. And while that mind is twisting itself in knots, in order to keep the truth from the person who it is residing in... recall those comfy emotions that seem to have been given up in trade for full belief in a power that will keep that mind safe, as long as it does not come to terms with what that logic really is. And all of that wasted energy, doing mental gymnastics, seems to keep comfortable smiles, relaxed enough, that they are usually not aware of the break in logic.

[@zebrajenks]

I'm prior military and never carry outside of my home but I understand why people do. If you have shot someone or have been shot or have seen someone shot you think twice about carrying and if you do carry you better constantly train. I bet 75% of people that carry do not train.

This point (no pun intended) is huge, because what many people often forget about our 2nd Amendment (which is simply stating to the government *their* limitation against infringement on a God-given right), is IT DOES NOT EVEN MENTION *FIREARMS*! It simply says “right to bear arms!” Which includes, but is not limited to firearms! Lately, because of the Hawaii butterfly knife case, and California’s Billy club case, people are becoming more aware, that once you let the government infringe (or as Colion often states it, “give them an inch, etc”) on any one area, they will do so in all areas. Completely unconstitutional limits on bladed weapons or clubs is just as bad, as infringement on firearms, because it will turn into that anyways. We who believe that the 2A is there, not to give us a right (for that right already exists with or without the document), but rather to limit the government from infringement on that already existing God-given right. It is already an invalid premise for those who fear or hate guns to think that “in a perfect world, there would not be guns”. First of all, as others here have stated, and most people know, there is no perfect world on this side of death. And second of all, since that first principle is true and people can kill each other through many different means (maybe what they really want to say is that “in a perfect world, people could not or would not kill each other”, which itself is a debatable point), therefore to borrow from the language of The US Constitution, it is actually a *more* perfect world that the technology of firearms exists, because as Colion pointed out in this discussion, in point of fact and statistics, firearms are actually the “great equalizer” and allows people who are weaker to defend themselves against people who are stronger (whether armed or not).

Based on the numbers I'd found, it's even less of an issue than Colion presented here. There are about 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms. The U.S. population is roughly 332 million as of 2021. Doing the math; 0.00765% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant. It's not even a rounding error. What is not insignificant, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths: • 22,938 (76%) are by suicide which are very unlikely to be affected by gun laws. Other means are readily available. • 987 (3%) are by law enforcement, and are not relevant to Gun Control discussion. • 489 (2%) are accidental. So no, "gun violence" isn't 30,000 annually, but rather 5,577... 0.0014176% of the population. Yes, 5,577 is absolutely horrific, and I would prefer to avoid them entirely-- but let's think for a minute... you have a 0.0065359% chance of being STRUCK BY LIGHTNING (358% higher) based on CDC estimates. But what about other deaths each year? • 70,000+ die from a drug overdose • 49,000 people die per year from the flu • 37,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities Based on Pew Research analysis of 2021 gun deaths "assault weapons" like the often demonized AR-15 make up roughly 3% of homicides. Shotguns, roughly 1% of homicides. Handguns make up a whopping 59% of homicides and the remaining 36% are not specified. 80% of mass shooters at K-12 schools stole the firearms from family members (who would have had to go through the legal process of acquiring said firearm). The UK is well known for very stringent gun control regulations, but in 2022/23, there were 50,489 knife crime offences across England and Wales...

Unlike most people, I have had 2 intruders break into my home and one was armed. He even fired that weapon in my living room. I was able to use my legally obtained firearm to defend several people in it. I had been watching videos for several months about defensive uses of firearms. I learned several things by watching those. These lessons came in handy that night. I remained calm, guided the other individuals to safety before confronting the intruders. I fired one shot from about 12 feet away hitting one. The other ran off when his buddy was hit. He lived just so you know. The interaction took all of maybe a minute from the time they entered my home to the moment he was neutralized. I have been asked many times, why only one shot. I was in a position when I fired to see him drop his weapon and fall. I used restraint and constantly assessed the situation in real time. There was no need for a second shot. Some would argue otherwise. Hell the investigator said that if a cop had shot he would have several holes in him. My point is bad guys don't usually want to get shot just as much as anyone else would. Get a weapon, get trained and carry everyday. My wife even got trained up and since that day and she carries everywhere now. I do have a military background so I am sure that helped some as well.

The “aura of fear surrounding guns” that Chrystal mentioned is purely by design. Middle schools and high schools all across the United States used to teach firearm safety and basic marksmanship.

We know that they’ll never bring firearms training back to public schools, but we can still teach our friends and family. Both of my daughters have been shooting since they were about 4. I started at about the same age, as did my mom & dad, and their parents before them. Our gun culture literally shielded us from a mainland invasion by the Japanese during WWII.

My wife, who is Japanese moved here and was so anti-gun it caused some rifts between us after my sister finally convinced her after 11 years of living here to go try we handed her a 22 pistol, stood next to her, guided her through the entire process and in her first time out shot very well she was scared and nervous. Now she owns her own and shoots better than most. She got an FN 502 after watching your video about it..

I can appreciate that these women were willing to have a conversation with Colion, and he did a good job at keeping them from feeling attacked while getting his points across. This is a great lesson for all of us to learn regarding discussing this issue with people that are on the fence, or anti gun. I will say that the two women often didn't appear to really listen, but waited to talk instead. The double team interruptions are very annoying and Colion handled it very well. Thanks Colion!

There isnt a "2a debate". 2a is a restriction. The onky reason a debate exist about riguts is because of the lack of knowledge of some. Like those who refer to the rigut as "2a".

Thank goodness I carried. I'm a 55 y/o man with minor mobility issues. I was on a walk with my minor son. A 70 lb Rottweiler charged out of a yard, snarling and growing an changed my son. I drew and fired a single round striking the pavement. Dog hauled ass back. I called PD. Long story short, no major report taken (logged though), gave me back the spent case (I suppose as a souvenir). Owner, cited for dog at large and Animal Control notified for "vicious animal." Having a functioning firearm on your person is no different than having home insurance, fire extinguisher, spare tire. You don't think about it until you need it, only when you need it and you thank God you had it.

Please point out in 1988 in high school, we all had guns in the back windows of our trucks at school. We brought them in and serviced them in shop. Blueing the steel and varnishing the wood. There were no shootings.

Its also that guns have nothing to do with why Sweden is (maybe was now?) a safer country. Its a country with a single ethnic group, there's much less cultural division in the country and much less political strife. Not to mention its much smaller. You simply can't compare it to current situation in the US.

[@daikhairai7194]

Gun grabbers love to mention Sweden, and ethnocentric culture only for the swedish as an example of a society that doesn't need guns but have no concept of how high-trust of a society Sweden is while Americans live in a much lower trust society, deeply diverse multi cultural and without a unifying culture and don't bother to consider just how much more massive we are than Sweden.

And of course the Brits are now heavily into “knife control”. If your status is subject, you have no right to self defense. The overall crime rate in the UK is higher than the US, even if the homicide rate is lower.

[@lb9009]

even if that crime rate difference between our two nations was reversed, I would still want a right of THE PEOPLE to bear arms

[@craigcicerello4289]

The homicide rate in the UK is lower, partially (largely) because they define homicide differently. In the UK, Homicide requires intent. For example. In the US, if you get drunk, get in your car and accidentally kill someone, that is a homicide. In the UK, homicide requires intent. You didn't mean to run that kid over, so that was not a homicide, just a tragic accident. Still a crime, but not listed as a "homicide". They define Murder differently, too. What we see as 1st degree murder is murder in the UK. What we term 2nd degree murder (one that doesn't have any kind of premeditation and may only have been intended to cause harm, rather than death.) is not termed murder in the UK. There, murder requires premeditation and the specific intent to kill. So, that reduces "murders" listed in the UK.

[@tomhalla426]

@@craigcicerello4289 And some 10-20% of the homicides in the US were not crimes, but “justifiable homicides”, i.e. self defense or law enforcement.

[@DaibhidhBhoAlba]

Of course there is a right to self defence in the UK. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Lime most of Europe, you can t carry a weapon for the express purpose of using it for self defence, but you have every right to defence yourself and you can use almost anything to defence yourself, so long as it's not been carried for that purposes a s it's proportionate to the threat (so you can't shoot someone who robbed your lunch money in the street, didn't harm you and is walking away).

[@ChfHappySack]

​@@DaibhidhBhoAlba But who are they to tell you that you can't carry a weapon for self defense when they themselves can?? A tyrannical government operates on rules for thee, but not for me. That scenario you described incentivises criminals to keep committing crimes. Obviously most people don't want to shoot anyone. I personally do value life, and I will give that criminal a chance at redemption by surrendering. But if they refuse and attempt to attack, that means they value their life less than the items they're stealing. They're the ones making that decision, not me. Am I supposed to just stand back and watch them steal my stuff repeatedly as it takes the police 15 minutes to arrive? You gotta draw the line somewhere. You can't just let it keep happening for the sake of "but it's a person". Wrong, it's a criminal.
