If poverty and mental health are such issues that induce gun crimes, do you think more funding should go to mental health care and poverty assistance/relief? And do you think you would still need such a militarised police if those issues are solved? Because then maybe it's time to redirect some funding from the police to other measures

[@Nathan-gs5tw]

Can you elaborate on the incorrect details? I thought the conversation you guys had showed a lot of contradictions on the "more guns" side, but I'm sure you have responses to what Alexa had to say in the video. Personally I want to know if you can explain why the gun nuts always seem to support the police crackdowns when it's left-wing activists rising up against the goverment. Surely even if you disagree with their politics you should support them and their right to resist if that's your main reason for advocating for gun ownership?

So what? The video really didn't strike me as documentary about Brandon's life or possessions so the inaccuracy is hardly inexcusable. The point of the video isn't what specific guns Brandon owns and they're not highlighting him owning a sawed off as an issue, because the issue they're talking about is the lack of gun regulation in general. It makes no functional difference to what they're talking about that if you walk into an auction you can't walk out with a rifle that has a barrel shorter than 16 inches or a sawed off shotgun, because for them the problem is that you can walk into an auction and buy a rifle or a shotgun in the first place.

@@cockatoofan "it's about the lack of regulation in general" While acting like heavily regulated things, _things that are ALREADY illegal for normal people,_ are easy to get off the shelf of any sporting goods store. I would say that is a big problem and very disingenuous. They compared a firearm manufacturer to "just some dude" for pete's sake. And in opening sequence they brush aside Rossenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz as just a couple of "protesters" and fail to mention all three were violent felons actively trting to kill a minor. One of which was trying to do so with an _illegally possesed_ handgun! I would say that is an important fact to mention. The idea that they want guns banned to save lives, that's all well and good. If they were willing to mention that firearms are defensively used _far more often_ than they are used to commit crimes.

Gun bans are ridiculous in a way they don't aim at solving the cause, but to mitigate the effect.

School shootings as BH said are exclusive to USA because they are caused by socio-economic problems combined with gun proliferation. The combination of gangs, violence, lack of psychiatry clinics, poverty, teen pregnancy, divorce rate, the cost of higher education, high incarceration rate etc. But of course those issues are hard to solve, because the government would have to admit its failure in those areas. Some people believe that only the government should have guns, yet after googling Holodomor, Wolyn, Auschwitz I don't feel so certain.

[@clueless_cutie]

@,-- Yeah, the US is split by classism. The gun enthusiasts that have private shooting ranges and these mass collections are living in a class that is essentially untouchable. The upper class and upper middle class. They've never really been oppressed by the justice system or legislation meant to undermine their democratic voice (red lining mortgages or jerrymandering or the bail system and so on). If you've got the money... nothing is really off limits here. These things have destroyed minorities in the US and left them living in what is essentially inescapable poverty. The people defending their guns fear oppression, because realistically removing their guns would be the first limitation of power they've ever had to endure. They may not be able to acknowledge it, but they fear becoming like the poverty stricken minorities of this country (this includes poor whites/white trash, but they're in a special in between worth it's own tangent). They fear giving even an inch will be the step off a steep cliff to falling into the way lower class Americans are treated and live. Why the hell would someone living comfortable in their gated community surrounded by their expensive recreational equipment ever willfully say "You know what? I want less. I want to live in a smaller house, pay more in taxes, and have less freedom to do what I please just so those other people can have a bit more?" They tell themselves all kind of excuses to justify why the "other Americans" have less. They say they're not Christian enough, they're drug addicts (drugs are another tangent), they're lazy, they come from broken homes, they're this, they're that... All to justify to themselves why they're entitled to what they have and others aren't. And do not get me wrong, most upper class people work hard. They genuinely do... but their hard work pays better in so many ways. The guy who works 80 hr weeks at $50 /hr is going to get a lot further than the one working 80 hrs at $9 /hr. And the $50/hr guy is going to have access to resources to assist him in avoiding taxes and establishing accounts that are basically not taxed to create passive income in addition to his 80 hr work week at $50/hr. Meanwhile, the $9/hr guy loses most of his check to taxes, he has little to no financial support (he can't even afford the financial advisor of the other guy), and it'll take him a lifetime to create an investment account large enough to create a passive income. And that's completely overlooking that if $9/hr guy and $50/hr guy are of equal intelligence and both capable of working each other's job, $9/hr guy will most likely never get the opportunity to do $50/hr guys job AND $9/hr guy's work is probably incredibly abusive on his body. He'll have medical complications well before the other, and that will cost him even more of the meager progress he's tried so hard to make. And of course, these hypothetical men do not exist in a vacuum. Upper class families support and prioritize money literacy, while lower class/poverty are often less able to manage their money because they're struggling from one catastrophe to the next. Paying to have their car fixed, scraping together money for a funeral... hell a speeding ticket can ruin $9/hr guy while it's just an annoyance for $50/hr guy. The point is, they are afraid of being oppressed and we are asking them to be oppressed for the greater good of everyone. Which is socialist, which if you understand where they're coming from does seem rather evil since it's demanding to take from them what they've earned (regardless of the advantages they had to do so). In the end it's a stale mate. And in the meantime people will die because our culture isn't ready to change.

[@evanbarnes9984]

Got to be honest, gun violence isn't a complex issue. It's a solved problem. Australia and basically every other developed nation have solved it for decades. We're the crazy outlier. And in this case, we absolutely don't need to be listening to both sides of the issue. Listening to guys like Brandon got us into and keeps us in this tragic state. Gun rights advocates are just fucking wrong, and when you're trying to make responsible decisions about how to run a society, you don't listen to the people who are demonstrably wrong. The idea that both sides of an argument are valid or have worth is a fallacy. Sometimes one side is "let's make sure it's really easy for anyone to get their hands on a magic murder wand," and the other side is "let's have our kids not get murdered at school." One of those sides is wrong, and if you land half way between those two choices, you still wind up with murdered children. This isn't a difficult issue to know what to do about, it is just hard to actually do what we need to in this country because of people like Brandon. Other countries figured it out for us. We just need to copy Australia.

This is a extremely ignorant statement to make, Just because you support limited government doesn't mean you don't support law enforcement. Most law enforcement is going to be from your local Town or County, where you have more say over what policies are voted in and how its budgeted. Furthermore the Gadsden flag is more geared towards a distrust to a federal government not local or state which 95% of law enforcement is under. And most people that fly the Gadsden flag do have that distrust to federal agency's that don't really represent the thin blue line like the 660,000 State and county cops that risk their life everyday do.

Great video and glad that there was an open dialog.

History shows, time and time again, a government that fears its citizens, respects its citizens. Just because a country is doing right by its citizens currently, does not mean it wont be corrupted in the future.

[@SwainixFPV]

@@FranciT98 Apologies, should have made myself more clear. Fear of practical and effective retaliation was my objective in my statement. I was hoping the previous statement about the relationship between Native/Tribal Americans and the US Government would have portrayed that more evidently. Hypothetical, if Native/Tribal Americans had the same firepower and resources as the European nations would they have been so easily conquered? No, they would have survived with much better outcomes. Just like how England and France had hundreds of years of conflict, yet both still exist as nations today. I would encourage that we look at dictators/totalitarians of the past and how they came into power. One of the major first steps is to remove all means of effective and practical retaliation (aka, remove firearms/weapons).

[@hiera1917]

It isn’t “government” that’s the problem. The problem is that you grew up in the US which built itself off of slavery, land theft, and genocide (so called “manifest destiny”). That means the country is a white supremacist one which has no problem abusing especially people of colour. And to be sure, the fact that class also exists in that society - by nature of it being a capitalist one - means that white workers will also be attacked, but does not mean that the system is not motivated by and maintained through racism. Government is not the problem. The UNITED STATES is the problem. I’m shocked to hear an indigenous person not recognising this

[@Formalitus]

@@hiera1917 Ah see, unfortunately I believe you may have stumbled into a logical fallacy. You assumed that majority of nations were not built upon slavery. land theft, and genocide. If not between people groups (different races/ethnicities) it was between different tribes in the past (yes, even European nations were tribal at certain stages in history). England, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Zimbabwe, Korea, China, Mongolia, Russia, everyone in history experienced slavery, land theft, and genocide from within (tribal warfare) or from others (established countries conquering each other). The more you read about history from all cultures, you more you realize that people by their own nature are self serving which can end up, if unchecked, horrible in outcome. Seeing as that I have duel-citizenship in both my Tribal Nation and the US, if the US is the problem then I too am the problem. And yes, just like most people grow up in their home country, we tend to appreciate the place we grew up and hope it can improve for the better. On a final note, since I think you maybe don't understand tribal culture as well as you should, we as a people have fought in every American war at 5x the rate of other people groups. We are a proud people who fight for ideals such as freedom and respect which resonates with what the US stands for. Even if flawed, and you don't have to agree, the US has done more good for the world than wrong. But it's human nature to focus on the negative over the positive. End of the day, don't assume that all tribal people living in the US hate the country nor the people living in it.

They're exciting for collectors because they have some peculiarities to them and that makes them different, not necessarily because they were used during the war, even if a large share of them were.

@trapdoorguppi that comment was definitely stupid, but a great deal of what Zastava arms produced was exported, and especially since importing new machine guns has been banned in the US since 1986 with imported semi automatics following in 1989, the year yugoslavia began breaking up 3 years before the bosnian war.

[@eddx5758]

It’s a contradiction, how Brendan and his friends support them so much

[@Kosogoat]

@@eddx5758 I think the way it is worded by BoyBoy chanel is very aggresive. Police is a law enforcment agency. Three priorities are: 1)survaliance/observation if laws are followed 2)enforcing the law: verbally/by a fine/citation/ or finnaly force and last deadly force if the suspect is dangerous to the officers or other people here comes the 3rd priority: protecting civilians from criminals. Here the 1,2 are ignored and the fraction of all police activity is only brought up (shootings, use of force and Riot control) . Brandon and Donut Operator are LAW ABIDING GUN NUTS that is why they are not against the police, but treat law enforcement as a protective institution. Regarding guns the ATF is more of a problem to guntubers for reasons I'am to lazy to describe.

[@SolDizZo]

A lot of police are gun nuts, believe it or not. Definitely not all, however... but perhaps a majority.

[@slushyslushslushbruh]

@@Kosogoat The ATF is more of a problem for everyone, even those who don't own guns. Hell, these are the fuckers who make it frustrating when it comes to fireworks and booze, as if them being asshats about guns isn't enough.

[@VoidHxnter]

@@eddx5758I don’t see it as a contradiction. I see it as you can’t always rely on police to save your life, as they may be too late a lot of the time, so you need to arm yourself to protect you and your loved ones. No matter how good the police are, they could be the most well trained and well funded, but they can’t teleport. But for those who aren’t able to be protected, like in many public places or people who aren’t able to operate a firearm, those are who the police are primarily for. They’re two sides of the same coin.

I know this video is a year old but didn't Australia just have a mass stabbing? and in 2018 had another mass shooting that they failed to mention in the video. weird.

[@JT-ry5ei]

Is this meant to be some sort of gotcha? As if we had guns would have stopped this? lmao please.

[@joshuas390]

​@@JT-ry5ei ...so who stopped it?

[@Urzaden]

​@@JT-ry5eiI think it was meant as a bad people do bad things and will find the tool to do it regardless. Also the person that was stabbing people was stopped by a gun.

[@BirnieMac1]

Brother it’s so rare for us it’s a national tragedy School shootings for you don’t even make state news Notice how you had to go years back to find a comparable shooting? They’re not common here and you’ll notice it’s always the people with access to more powerful firearms (e.g. farmers and other professions that need them for their work) It’s more complicated than BoyBoy put forward, but it’s not the same issue chief - Farmers and professions like that need access; so we have controls to mitigate the risks of tragic shootings

[@dimitri2963]

The homicide rate in Australia is 0.8 per 100 000 inhabitants. In USA it's 6.4 per 100 000 inhabitants. Singular events such as that mass stabbing are just singular events. In America it's a regular thing. It happens weekly when in Australia or other low-homicide countries they happen rarely and are treated as massive national tragedies and the governments try to make sure they don't happen again. The USA government doesn't do anything to prevent further shootings.

[@gronkee540]

I really love your work. There’s a certain macabre satire that you utilize in your videos that manages to both make me uncomfortable and intrigued at the same time. I enjoy viewing a perspective so different than my own, and your videos really help me think outside of just American perspectives of our country. Good stuff.

[@I_Hit_My_Kids]

Are you kidding? He mostly cast Brandon in a negative light and tried to soften it by saying "oh but he has a great personality" like comparing fucking Uvaldi to Kyle Rittenhouse shooting people that were attacking him, like making a bunch of arguments throughout the video that he didnt even talk to Brandon himself about. As a fellow Australian, this video was digusting. The guy helped them out with a project, and when itd finished, they go behind his back and talk shit about his foundational beliefs and make a speculative reductivist rational as to why he holds those beliefs. Dont get me started on what they did to Donut Operator, the cherry picking there made me sick, any they didnt even tried to talk to the guy about it. If this was really about understanding the perspective these guys have about guns, they would've been involved throughout. Not a minute interview at the end of the video. What a piece of shit.

Great video, seemed like a bit of a convenient omission to leave out the fact that Brandon is an FFL dealer and runs his business out of the house. Its not like us average gun owners have explosive ordinance and auotmatic weapons laying about the house. Just throwing that out there, enjoyed the civil discussions between opposing views. That's getting rarer and rarer these days.

[@dillonzehnder9313]

TBF I seriously doubt either of them knew enough abt gun laws to realize that was the reason he could own the guns. Also the fact still stands that if you can get yourself registered as an FFL dealer you can do what Brandon does, which is sorta addressed in the vid when (i think) Brandon says "If you have enough money and sign the right paperwork, anything is legal"
