I absolutely agree. It's fear-mongering for freedom. Frankly, every law we create enacts a restriction on freedom. America needs to accept that there are certain things that we deem okay to restrict freedom with. It reminds me of that John Oliver interview with the OK State Senator where he says you don't give a fuck about saving the lives of children and only oppressing the freedoms of minorities.
You thinking of Jon Stewart? The gun control interview?
Ah, yes, sorry, that Jon.
Pretty easy to get two hacks confused I guess. Maybe we should loosen unreasonable search and sezieure. I watched an episode of CSI where a bad guy had a gun his car and did a terrorist attack because the cops didn't get a warrant in time. Thank you TV for showing me I don't need any rights!
You are simply not considering society and putting individual needs ahead of group needs. We also live in a system where gun rights clearly favor one specific type of person over another. As seen by the US governments reaction to the black panthers when they open carried to challenge the Oakland police forces police brutality. They cracked down on the group hard and ended up killing two of the Chicago chapter leaders.
Frankly, you should watch the interview because clearly you haven't. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tCuIxIJBfCY I don't think you can point to any point that Jon Stewart makes and refute it directly with facts. How you'd call that a hack is insane since your argument boiled down to rah rah mah rights. Especially since I refuted that in my first comment.
