    It's superficial, provocative, arrogant, and comes across as rather totally stupid, because it is outright nonsense.

    I truly believe that since people getting infractions for anti-american slurs, these type of slurs should get the same treatment.

    I meant that in the least bit of serious possible.

    Information compiled from the FBI and CATO Institute.
    I'm talking about the fact that we require no training for a person to own a gun.

    I'm talking about the fact that, currently, there's an incredibly easily exploitable loophole that allows private sellers to go free-for-all on sales at gun shows. It creates a massive secondary market that needs to be tightened up and regulated.

    I'm talking about the people that don't even have a basic gun safe, which takes literally 5 seconds to open (I timed myself) to restrict access to their guns.

    I'm all for gun ownership. I'm not for allowing anybody who wants one a gun with no basic safety training and no requirement to handle it responsibly.

    Really, so the mean words of Piers Morgan are an assault on you? Get a grip. He's an arrogant blow-hard, but he hasn't assaulted shit.

    I couldn't care less if people hate us. They're just as dumb as the people they criticize. The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of Americans are nice, charitable people who wish violence on nobody.

    I actually think Australia is higher this year but my point still stands

    You don't need too much training to brandish a weapon. In many cases of self defense it was only used to scare someone away. Never loaded, never fired. Don't need any training for that.

    That would be sexual harassment, not assault. Sexual assault is rape.

    You do need training to care for your gun, keep it in working order, and be able to "brandish" it without accidentally firing it. You also need a gun safe or trigger lock to keep your child from, god-forbid, accidentally killing him or herself with it.

    Let's all take a moment to let that sink in.




    Ok, now that that moment is over, saying something unpopular is not sexual assault. Even if you mean some sort of verbal assault, stating your opinion about something is acceptable, the difference between acceptable and unacceptable speech is when the intent behind the speech becomes to hurt just to hurt somebody rather than to actually make a point. Even then, most of the time people should just deal with it. Even if they aren't, the response isn't to persecute the person or deport them.

    Well sexual harassment and verbal assault, really depends on where you live and how your local laws define things. My bad I slipped and mixed up words.

    That's how they were used in most scenarios. I never said anything about caring for the weapons.

    No. All rape is sexual assault but not all sexual assault is rape. One could argue that the assault of CeCe McDonald, in which she killed a man in self-defense after an unprovoked attack based solely on the fact she's transgender, is sexual assault. Current anti-LGBTQ legislation required that not only was she charged with murder, she was forced into a mens prison. So while there was no direct penetration involved, it was still an assault motivated by sexuality.

    He's a stand up comedian, and that's a snippet from the Penn and Teller Show. It's a sarcastic, comedian way to showcase gun obsession.
