YO this is still by far one of the best interviews i ever did!! Thanks for stopping me... This memory made my day. PS. EVERYONE IM THE MAN WITH THE BRAIDED BEAD HAIRSTYLE
Veterans: "You shouldn't trust the government" Civilians: "Why don't you trust the government" Veterans: "We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two"
Civilians: Take the jab to save others Me: No. I was in the NAVY Civilians: what does that mean or have to do with anything? Me: Never Again Volunteer Yourself
Ok I have to ask this question do you believe that the entire government is corrupt ans I'd so then why continue to live in the US Now I get that we disagree with some of the decisions that our government officials make however those decisions are based on what the majority of the voting public wants within a particular district
@@wendellknight2072 Because despite the problems with Fed, the United States provides the best opportunity to live free. It’s our culture. They can’t arrest us all.
@@wendellknight2072 Yes, most of the Federal Government is corrupt. What news network do you follow and are unaware of this? Where should one move in which the government is not corrupt?
@@wendellknight2072 ok... so, just to be clear, at least for my answer, it's based on current and recent events. I'm curious, what has the government done, or what are they doing that warrants your trust? And let me differentiate, I believe government is necessary, I'm not saying it's not. But is it trustworthy as it is? Absolutely not.
"Im kinda anti-gun, but I'm thinking about buying one" Yep, 'rules for thee, not for me' is the principle at the heart of EVERY gun control measure, and she embodies it well.
That's the thing when people keep telling me not everyone on the left is anti-gun. That's the scary part, because those are the kind of people we might have to fight in the future! (Or now if you happen to live where the riots are happening)
@@nevadacario2000 I agree fully, but, I would very strongly argue that the left is the far greater threat at the moment. Freedom over EVERYTHING. A free society is the only one I want to live in. The right is eroding those freedoms slowly. We must stop this. The left is eroding them with a damned bundle of TNT. They're the religious right/moral majority movement, except unbound by even a tenuous grasp of morality or ethics. Leftist control mongers are the enemy. Right wing control mongers are the enemy.
Dave Chapelle said it best, "I hate guns, personally. I can't stand them. But I have several." The idea of a firearm is a horrible thing that exist, don't pretend that it isn't. But it is a tool, not a toy. It's something whose existence is not reversible, they will always exist. And to defend oneself, one needs to best tools, that being a gun. I assume that that is what she's saying. She doesn't like the idea of having to kill or maim someone, (because who in their right mind is?) but she recognizes a need. One that transcends moral idolatry. As firearm advocates, we should not punish people for having these reservations about what are, in all honesty, killing tools. We need to not invalidate those feelings, but foster them away from fear, into reverence and understand for them.
That's exactly what they want everyone to believe...and entrust their gov. And than they step all over you and take everything from you...and Americans being this simple minded and believing their government actually cares about them is what's truly frightening.
It's even crazier that EVERYONE witnessed government overstepping (pandemic), yet they STILL don't see the potential dangers of an unhinged, out of control, tyrannical government set on being the sole proprietor of power

As a Venezuelan I will say 2 things: 1. A couple decades ago civilians could own guns and even open carry in the backcountry. You had access to shotguns, hunting rifles, handguns, and some "semi-auto/automatic" rifles (it was around the 1950s) in a reasonably accessible manner if you had to money to afford them. 2. Now, the few very people that had guns in this century are now illegal because the government left them on a years-long waiting list for renovating their permits. In 2017 a new gun law (which can be called illegitimate) was published that made it practically impossible to own them. The ones that have guns now are corrupt military and public personnel, along with what we call "Colectivos" which are basically thugs with guns that work for the government. Oh, and the gangs that are killing dozens of people in mass shootings every month, gangs that were armed by the government in a program so-called "Peace zones" or Zonas de Paz. The people armed are the ones that do harm to our society, and good abiding citizens that want to protect their families can't even get a revolver. Our military left us to die multiple times and the government doesn't care at all about us. The only person that will protect you 24/7 your whole life is YOU, only you. It's every living being's right to protect their lives by all matters. Edit: Holy bananas I didn't expect so many likes. Thanks for the good vibes guys! Stay prepared and aware.
Thank you for your personal input on this subject. I grew up in Florida and attended school with children of Cuban Exiles. My next door neighbors were Cuban Exiles. I heard many horror stories about how the Castro regime used his predecessor's firearm registries to confiscate guns, and if the people did not cooperate, they(or their family members) were taken away and tortured, beaten to death, or left to starve in a cell- that is if they weren't simply executed in the street to begin with- women & children included. These stories have opened my mind to other totalitarian regimes- such as your experience as a Venezuelan, and even more recent situations such as Myanmar, where the population are trying to fight back against a corrupt government & army- and they are using SLINGSHOTS because they have no firearms. The Founders of the United States did their own research and studied world history. They knew that history tends to repeat itself and crafted 'check valves' into the Constitution to prevent a tyrannical government from attaining power. Our Second Amendment is one such check valve. There are those who claim that rag-tag militias with mostly small arms would stand no chance against a powerful military. Just add a little perseverance & such forces are successful. Just look at the Taliban in Afghanistan right now.
John needs to bring him on as a correspondent when either big issues arise or maybe a weekly news roundup episode. Godspeed to everyone that participated in the video including the camera man. Be safe.

Guy with the braids --hands down best answer I have ever heard. Absolutely hit the nail on the head. Personal actions and accountability in everything you do, risk reward. Man 1000% impressed!
The guy with the braids had me laughing so hard, such a well spoken opinion on gun control but ended it in the most poetic change of tone out of no where 😂
I agree with the guy saying people who shouldnt own anything "military grade." Why would I want the cheapest stuff slapped together by the lowest bidder? 😀
Ha ha thats funny. Mostly true, but for real guchi guns are an issue and often over priced. Really an ar milspec part should be not worse than well milspec or better. In short its not milspec if coatings and part dimensions are not identical. Thats primary issue creating this military grade mentality. Example that LWRC AR-15, hot damn that thing is totally tuned and nothing is mil-spec. What does packaging say? Mil-spec this and mil-spec that. If they stopped saying mil-spec when clearly dimensions or coating are different. Things would be better. Hell even the lowers often aren’t mil-spec if even one change is done altering its shape or features.
@Nefarious J Coatings are not paint but one might confuse that. Military has various colors in the typical coatings. There are military coatings designed for IR reduction that we can not get. Spray paint over that and you in a way voided that coatings purpose. Im more referring to bolt, receiver, barrel, trigger coatings/treatments. If you strip the mil-spec coating and it was sold as mil-spec coated but not a mil-spec barrel. Then yes you effectively made it not mil-spec. Thats my point is selling a ar-15 as milspec would imply all parts are mil-spec. If you sold ar-15 as insert brand or model featuring mil-spec trigger. Then only that trigger is mil-spec.
Not only that they are just inherently racist. Permits and licenses have been used a since the civil war and Jim Crow era to deny minorities the right to protect themselves
@@Skibididid That's the best argument against voter Id, Voter ID is called racist, so I guess requiring a driver's license is racist too.

Mr. Smith: Kidding aside; in argumentation parlance to _“disarm”_ one’s audience _(or opposition during discussion of controversial topics),_ means to offer subdued rebuttal -- a toned down or humorized alternative argument. A good example of _disarming_ in this vid begins at 5:48 when the older gent wearing a blue shirt, attempts to tie 2A applicability ONLY to militia service. Lovell artfully references James Monroe (but perhaps meant George Mason), citing the *_“except a few public officers”_* portion of statements from an 1788 debate transcript (link below); pointing out the humor, suggestively juxtaposed against modern-day lawmaker behaviors. Now notice the older gent’s facial expressions; he does not know how to respond. He is, in a word, _disarmed._ press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/print_documents/a4_4s9.html

@@JBmusicart They had many chances to arrest that man. I dont care what you have to say about him in comparison to those evil tyrants who parked tanks over the exits and burned those in there to death.
To those who say otherwise a simple conversation can go a long way. One of my sisters in law recently said that she wouldn't trust herself with a gun because she thinks she would hurt herself. She's a doctor went to school for like 10 years. I told her that at the beginning of her educational career if I put a scalpel in her hand you Probably would have done more harm than good but after a few years of training you can now save lives with the scalpel. Guns are the same way. That response really gave her some pause.
I don't get really upset over dumbasses on wanting gun control. They have a right to their opinion covered by you guessed it the same constitution that the 2A is apart of. However these people really should keep it as an opinion. And had better not think about taking action on their opinion. Because gun confiscation many of us will have a say in the matter. AKA their opinion will meet reality and the consequences of their beliefs.
The questions that always blow up the pro-control argument: - You believe guns are too dangerous for citizens to own? (Yes) - Who would you prefer to be the only people who have scary weapons? (Government/police) - Do you trust the government/police, especially if they're the only people who have guns? (....🦗🦗🦗) The cognitive dissonance is staggering.
@@Jordanslifts - Ami Horowitz did this a while back. It's a simple, non-confrontational, effective way to get people to stop and consider the unintended consequences of their choices and policy positions. People who are emotional decision makers rarely consider long-term consequences; this can help them bridge that gap.
Fist bump guy told his whole tale by not shaking your hand. Kudos to you inspiring conversation and encouraging thought to people you may not agree with and/or (more appropriately) likely don’t agree with you (us😊). You have a great way with your disarming posture to create great dialogue.
I love the “it’s about a militia” argument. The militia in America is every able bodied man (person) of fighting age. Anti gunners think it’s about the military. Little do most people know this country was never meant to have a standing military.
“No, the 2nd Amendment was just telling the military that they could have guns.” I’ve heard that argument before, and it never ceases to make me want to beat my head off the wall until gray matter leaks from my ears.
And the legal age is constitutionally defined as 17 years and older. Now, why does one need to be 18/21 to buy a gun when they are a member of the militia?
7:17 Guy who clearly had time realized he was losing hard and went straight into "I don't have time" abort mode.... Nice job, John, on being respectful and courteous. Breath of fresh air from most YT channels.
This is the best street interview that I have seen in a very long time. Good healthy dialog without judgement or argument. We need more of this. Long overdue. Please do more street interviews like this.
I liked the solo lady in the grey shirt. she was against firearms, but was willing to discuss. attempting to equate gun control with certain controls over the first amendment was an interesting point she made

@@prettyboyjeremy I’m aware. I was simply pointing out the logic the anti-gun lobby thinks about “military grade.” Looks are all that matters. Or if you want to be edgy, “looks that kill.”
Let me fill in the blanks for that first woman: "I'm kind of anti-gun because that's how I've been indoctrinated, but I'm about to buy my first house and I don't want to get slapped in the face by reality so I'm thinking about getting a gun." It's hilarious how John says the word "gun" when he asks the question. He's got to ease them into the topic and not trigger a flashback to that time in kindergarten when one of their schoolmates shaped a poptart to resemble a gun.
When my kids were in school I fought so hard to get *REAL* 6UN Safety included in EVERY year of instruction. THEN they started with "Active Shooter DriIIs" & it seemed even more important! I admit to having somewhat devious motivations: My logic to THEM was simple. VERY FEW teachers had ever handled a weapon, nor had many students (in the upper grades). What would happen if an actual event DID occur & they were able to wrestle the weapon away from the "bad guy"? They'd have NO CLUE what to do NEXT! They wouldn't know how to remove a magazine, or how disable the weapon at all. OR how to use it on the suspect, if the need & opportunity arose. Now here's my nefarious part: Once these teachers, support staff, and students with their parents start going to ranges & begin being taught by real professionals, they'll have an entire change-of-heart like EVERYONE DOES. They'll soon realize that the weapons are harmless. It's the PPL who are the problem. They'll start meeting more ppl in the culture & they'll start going to the range ON THEIR OWN. Soon, we'll have hundreds of new converts! See, the School Boards KNEW this. That's why they NEVER let me present my idea to the teachers or the PTA's. If kids got injured or kiIIed bc teachers had NO CLUE what to do in an emergency, too bad!
Hell, why potential? I'd like to see everyone open carrying. The only reason conceal carry is more prudent is due to the infrequency of people carrying at all, if we all did it we could all have it out in plain sight.
John is such a good interviewer. He has a way of connecting with everyone and presenting friendly personality, even with those that disagree with them.
@@astang1072 I agree.....but he also had a German accent. If you were born/raised in Europe, you'd have a very different look at the topic. With that said, I thought the interview was cordially conducted and he let him have his points. It wasn't a "gotcha" interview. I will also say that John failed to read the ENTIRE 2nd Amendment to him when citing his example. I was bummed about that. That disjoint of the clauses in the 2nd Amendment has been argued for many, many years. It's currently settled with the 2008 Heller decision. For the record, I'm an avid 2A supporter, but I do appreciate open dialogue on the issue.
Love how you didn’t push them too hard and still got your point across. The old guy was a lost cause but the rest of the folks were good conversations! The dude with the beads knows what’s up! He ain’t no sheep.

I love how the girl mentioned that the problem isn't the citizens buying guns because their only buying guns to protect themselves. The problem is the criminals who DON'T follow laws and some of them aren't even supposed to have access to guns and either way they get guns. Perfect example is Venezuela where all the thugs got guns and the government took away all of the guns from the law abiding citizens. Btw Venezuela as of 2021 is the most dangerous country in the world. Let that sink in... Edit: Thanks for the likes everyone. This country needs to open it's eyes and ears. Don't be afraid to spread the truth the US was founded on. God bless
Yup, but this is something anti-gun people will apparently never understand 🤦♂️ Just because you ban guns doesn't make them magically disappear from the face of the earth.
It’s amazing how the people you talked to, that are against firearms, have no idea what, don’t know the second amendment states, and are just overall just uneducated on the subject. Like the girl they says you can’t speak freely everywhere but can’t name any place that happens, that Karen that thinks the government can’t/won’t come to her house, and that guy with the accent that just got pissed because he had no idea what to say back to you.
"Yes I trust the government at all times even if a politician that I don't like (perhaps #45 himself T-Money) is holding office. I'm not contradictory at all."
“No one’s going to ambush your home with military arms” 🤦🏻♂️ you’re right that has never happed after that was written in history and now we are a perfect society.
I remember in Phoenix a few years ago. 4 armed men kicked in a door. 2 9mm had them running each other over to get out. Without the homeowners 🔫 who knows
Great point . I have run into anti gun people and engage them in conversation . They never have a clue . I am carrying a pistol and a blade or two . My wife cuts hair and has numerous clients that are anti gun spouting about how guns are bad . The whole time they are getting their hair cut by a woman carrying a pistol ! I tell anti gun people that they probably cross a few people a day carrying guns and they never know it .
"I don't need to Google it." That said a lot about that guy. Then he proceeds to tell John that John stopped quoting the 2nd Amendment too soon. Yeah, John didn't quote the whole 2nd Amendment, but it was the first part that he skipped. Then he folded when John challenged him. He sure sounded like someone who was used to posing as an intellectual. Too many people in the U.S. think they "know" something because they heard a newscaster spout an opinion about a controversial topic.
“Like Waco, got it?” Her complete lack of response to that convinced me she either hasn’t even heard of it or doesn’t even remember cause “yay bad guy dead, next.”
John who? 🤪🤣🥴🤦One would think, but there are those who also have their sights set on him for his overt covert activity and to whom he has an accounting: a life for a life as he is a life taker and if it is GOD'S will so our GOD is a merciful GOD and GOD is great and GOD is good. GOD is loyal to His loyal ones and All Merciful All Knowing and All Powerful...however it was not in the service of GOD that he, 'Lovell, John' so took many lives, therefore, if it was GOD's will then also he should have nothing to fear. Fear GOD and give HIM Glory but do NOT MOCK GOD, what you vow keep your vow and your promises to GOD Keep. John is not John he is someone else; and you have been lied to. He is in deep. And are you somebody's prayer? How do you feel about him if you knew he stalked me for over two decades asked me to marry him but it was just a game to him, yeah he was super polite to ask...but his promise was false and his tongue deceptive also cutting deep as a dagger. He has gone to the darkside; pray for him.🙏
That's okay John my love for you will save you. i think i finally can forgive you after you pushed this one out. Ooops. i did it again🥲🤭🙃🙂🥲 ty for your hard work though. You weirdo.
The comma between both parts of the 2nd is really really important. One refers to having a well organized militia of free men and the other specifies that the government CANNOT infringe on inalienable rights of Americans. People forget that the Bill of Rights isn’t a rules list for the people but for the government.
With the second Amendment we are able to ensure the government doesn’t make the same tyrannical moves as so many others have in history. Why do people think the US government in incapable of overreaching. It’s happening in countries as we speak. They all have something in common. The government took the right to have a firearm. Wake up ppl.
When the 2nd Amendment was written civilians literally owned their own warships and would be asked to help the military if the military needed them. So Americans should be able to use any weapon they so chose to protect their family, home, and protect against a Tyrannical government.

The sailor angered me the most. Had absolutely no idea what it is he swore an oath to. If it’s any consolation, I can assure you that virtually all of those I have met in service, infantry Marines none the less, will defend the constitution from all threats foreign and domestic.
He was one of the paycheck cashers, nothing more, nothing less. He wasn't a warrior, and out of all of the branches of service, the Navy probably has the most Constitutionally deficient members of the services.

back then they didnt have anywhere near the fire power that we have today. One gun couldn’t slaughter 30 people in just a few minutes.
Because based on how this country was created every man was expected to be a soldier. And that's something we shouldn't forget - there might come a time when every single one of us will have to be a soldier.

Ok I have to ask this question do you believe that the entire government is corrupt ans I'd so then why continue to live in the US
Now I get that we disagree with some of the decisions that our government officials make however those decisions are based on what the majority of the voting public wants within a particular district
@@wendellknight2072 Because despite the problems with Fed, the United States provides the best opportunity to live free. It’s our culture. They can’t arrest us all.
@@wendellknight2072 Yes, most of the Federal Government is corrupt. What news network do you follow and are unaware of this? Where should one move in which the government is not corrupt?
@@wendellknight2072 ok... so, just to be clear, at least for my answer, it's based on current and recent events. I'm curious, what has the government done, or what are they doing that warrants your trust? And let me differentiate, I believe government is necessary, I'm not saying it's not. But is it trustworthy as it is? Absolutely not.

@@Bada_Boom78 Nice username ;)
@@nevadacario2000 I agree fully, but, I would very strongly argue that the left is the far greater threat at the moment.
Freedom over EVERYTHING. A free society is the only one I want to live in. The right is eroding those freedoms slowly. We must stop this. The left is eroding them with a damned bundle of TNT. They're the religious right/moral majority movement, except unbound by even a tenuous grasp of morality or ethics. Leftist control mongers are the enemy. Right wing control mongers are the enemy.
She's just worried about something she hasn't dealt with, once she gets a gun and understands I'm willing to bet her opinion will change
Dave Chapelle said it best, "I hate guns, personally. I can't stand them. But I have several."
The idea of a firearm is a horrible thing that exist, don't pretend that it isn't. But it is a tool, not a toy. It's something whose existence is not reversible, they will always exist. And to defend oneself, one needs to best tools, that being a gun. I assume that that is what she's saying. She doesn't like the idea of having to kill or maim someone, (because who in their right mind is?) but she recognizes a need. One that transcends moral idolatry.
As firearm advocates, we should not punish people for having these reservations about what are, in all honesty, killing tools. We need to not invalidate those feelings, but foster them away from fear, into reverence and understand for them.
Its crazy that people think the government WOULDNT do something like that
That's exactly what they want everyone to believe...and entrust their gov. And than they step all over you and take everything from you...and Americans being this simple minded and believing their government actually cares about them is what's truly frightening.

As a Venezuelan I will say 2 things:
1. A couple decades ago civilians could own guns and even open carry in the backcountry. You had access to shotguns, hunting rifles, handguns, and some "semi-auto/automatic" rifles (it was around the 1950s) in a reasonably accessible manner if you had to money to afford them.
2. Now, the few very people that had guns in this century are now illegal because the government left them on a years-long waiting list for renovating their permits. In 2017 a new gun law (which can be called illegitimate) was published that made it practically impossible to own them. The ones that have guns now are corrupt military and public personnel, along with what we call "Colectivos" which are basically thugs with guns that work for the government. Oh, and the gangs that are killing dozens of people in mass shootings every month, gangs that were armed by the government in a program so-called "Peace zones" or Zonas de Paz.
The people armed are the ones that do harm to our society, and good abiding citizens that want to protect their families can't even get a revolver. Our military left us to die multiple times and the government doesn't care at all about us. The only person that will protect you 24/7 your whole life is YOU, only you. It's every living being's right to protect their lives by all matters.

Thank you for your personal input on this subject.
I grew up in Florida and attended school with children of Cuban Exiles. My next door neighbors were Cuban Exiles.
I heard many horror stories about how the Castro regime used his predecessor's firearm registries to confiscate guns, and if the people did not cooperate, they(or their family members) were taken away and tortured, beaten to death, or left to starve in a cell- that is if they weren't simply executed in the street to begin with- women & children included.
These stories have opened my mind to other totalitarian regimes- such as your experience as a Venezuelan, and even more recent situations such as Myanmar, where the population are trying to fight back against a corrupt government & army- and they are using SLINGSHOTS because they have no firearms.
The Founders of the United States did their own research and studied world history. They knew that history tends to repeat itself and crafted 'check valves' into the Constitution to prevent a tyrannical government from attaining power.
Our Second Amendment is one such check valve.
There are those who claim that rag-tag militias with mostly small arms would stand no chance against a powerful military.
Just add a little perseverance & such forces are successful.
Just look at the Taliban in Afghanistan right now.
That was brilliant. Glad I took the time to read it. Freedom isn't free.

I don't think a lot of anti gunners realize that people with no training aren't generally comfortable with carrying a firearm anyway.
Also, most of the gun violence in the United States is perpetrated by people with no training.
Did you ask Pookie if he was uncomfortable?
Most responsible people, yeah.
Those are basically the same people...the anti gunners are the ones with no training who aren't comfortable carrying a firearm. That's why they are "anti gunners".

I agree with the guy saying people who shouldnt own anything "military grade." Why would I want the cheapest stuff slapped together by the lowest bidder? 😀
Me with my 1700 dollar ar-10
Ha ha thats funny. Mostly true, but for real guchi guns are an issue and often over priced. Really an ar milspec part should be not worse than well milspec or better. In short its not milspec if coatings and part dimensions are not identical.
Thats primary issue creating this military grade mentality. Example that LWRC AR-15, hot damn that thing is totally tuned and nothing is mil-spec. What does packaging say? Mil-spec this and mil-spec that. If they stopped saying mil-spec when clearly dimensions or coating are different. Things would be better. Hell even the lowers often aren’t mil-spec if even one change is done altering its shape or features.
@Nefarious J Coatings are not paint but one might confuse that. Military has various colors in the typical coatings. There are military coatings designed for IR reduction that we can not get. Spray paint over that and you in a way voided that coatings purpose.
Im more referring to bolt, receiver, barrel, trigger coatings/treatments. If you strip the mil-spec coating and it was sold as mil-spec coated but not a mil-spec barrel. Then yes you effectively made it not mil-spec. Thats my point is selling a ar-15 as milspec would imply all parts are mil-spec. If you sold ar-15 as insert brand or model featuring mil-spec trigger. Then only that trigger is mil-spec.
My M16-A2 barrel was so worn it was comical. My BMC AR is so dead on balls accurate a overweight half blind me can shoot tight groups.

Mr. Smith:
Kidding aside; in argumentation parlance to _“disarm”_ one’s audience _(or opposition during discussion of controversial topics),_ means to offer subdued rebuttal -- a toned down or humorized alternative argument. A good example of _disarming_ in this vid begins at 5:48 when the older gent wearing a blue shirt, attempts to tie 2A applicability ONLY to militia service.
Lovell artfully references James Monroe (but perhaps meant George Mason), citing the *_“except a few public officers”_* portion of statements from an 1788 debate transcript (link below); pointing out the humor, suggestively juxtaposed against modern-day lawmaker behaviors. Now notice the older gent’s facial expressions; he does not know how to respond. He is, in a word, _disarmed._

To those who say otherwise a simple conversation can go a long way. One of my sisters in law recently said that she wouldn't trust herself with a gun because she thinks she would hurt herself. She's a doctor went to school for like 10 years. I told her that at the beginning of her educational career if I put a scalpel in her hand you Probably would have done more harm than good but after a few years of training you can now save lives with the scalpel. Guns are the same way. That response really gave her some pause.
I don't get really upset over dumbasses on wanting gun control. They have a right to their opinion covered by you guessed it the same constitution that the 2A is apart of. However these people really should keep it as an opinion. And had better not think about taking action on their opinion. Because gun confiscation many of us will have a say in the matter. AKA their opinion will meet reality and the consequences of their beliefs.

It's hilarious how John says the word "gun" when he asks the question. He's got to ease them into the topic and not trigger a flashback to that time in kindergarten when one of their schoolmates shaped a poptart to resemble a gun.
Haha
Its true I was the poptart
When my kids were in school I fought so hard to get *REAL* 6UN Safety included in EVERY year of instruction. THEN they started with "Active Shooter DriIIs" & it seemed even more important! I admit to having somewhat devious motivations: My logic to THEM was simple. VERY FEW teachers had ever handled a weapon, nor had many students (in the upper grades). What would happen if an actual event DID occur & they were able to wrestle the weapon away from the "bad guy"? They'd have NO CLUE what to do NEXT! They wouldn't know how to remove a magazine, or how disable the weapon at all. OR how to use it on the suspect, if the need & opportunity arose. Now here's my nefarious part: Once these teachers, support staff, and students with their parents start going to ranges & begin being taught by real professionals, they'll have an entire change-of-heart like EVERYONE DOES. They'll soon realize that the weapons are harmless. It's the PPL who are the problem. They'll start meeting more ppl in the culture & they'll start going to the range ON THEIR OWN. Soon, we'll have hundreds of new converts! See, the School Boards KNEW this. That's why they NEVER let me present my idea to the teachers or the PTA's. If kids got injured or kiIIed bc teachers had NO CLUE what to do in an emergency, too bad!

Love how you didn’t push them too hard and still got your point across. The old guy was a lost cause but the rest of the folks were good conversations! The dude with the beads knows what’s up! He ain’t no sheep.
The old guy is more like Joe Biden
That guy was German and needs to be sent back right now to determine how it all worked out for his people. Flees oppressive country with horrific history and doesn't change his views.
The guy with the beads is spot on correct, but he has got one goofy style. We could use a few more people like him.
If this was the early 1940s you know where the old guy would have been.

I love how the girl mentioned that the problem isn't the citizens buying guns because their only buying guns to protect themselves. The problem is the criminals who DON'T follow laws and some of them aren't even supposed to have access to guns and either way they get guns. Perfect example is Venezuela where all the thugs got guns and the government took away all of the guns from the law abiding citizens. Btw Venezuela as of 2021 is the most dangerous country in the world. Let that sink in...
Edit: Thanks for the likes everyone. This country needs to open it's eyes and ears. Don't be afraid to spread the truth the US was founded on. God bless
Exactly ! The same in Papua New Guinea .
Yup, but this is something anti-gun people will apparently never understand 🤦♂️ Just because you ban guns doesn't make them magically disappear from the face of the earth.
@@finnishfatman exactly man, criminals wouldn't be criminals if they followed the law
THIS....... is how you change the minds. Well done.
It’s amazing how the people you talked to, that are against firearms, have no idea what, don’t know the second amendment states, and are just overall just uneducated on the subject. Like the girl they says you can’t speak freely everywhere but can’t name any place that happens, that Karen that thinks the government can’t/won’t come to her house, and that guy with the accent that just got pissed because he had no idea what to say back to you.
Uneducated & misinformed by the corporate media.
The 2 places that know of where you can't speak freely.
1 college
2 government
That is usually the case with these people 9/10 times.
The laughing "Karen" is what scares me the most, so sheltered and clueless they can't even conceive the notion of a tyrannical government
Uneducated and misinformation make the foundation of the leftist cult.
"do you trust the federal government?"
that old guy with the coffee said yes so fast like he was waiting for that question. certified bootlicker
"Yes I trust the government at all times even if a politician that I don't like (perhaps #45 himself T-Money) is holding office. I'm not contradictory at all."
Back the blue baby! Back the blue!...

I remember in Phoenix a few years ago. 4 armed men kicked in a door. 2 9mm had them running each other over to get out. Without the homeowners 🔫 who knows
All of these people saying they're anti gun, meanwhile John is carrying a G19 and 30+ rounds on him.
Great point . I have run into anti gun people and engage them in conversation .
They never have a clue . I am carrying a pistol and a blade or two .
My wife cuts hair and has numerous clients that are anti gun spouting
about how guns are bad . The whole time they are getting their hair cut by a woman carrying a pistol !
I tell anti gun people that they probably cross a few people a day carrying
guns and they never know it .

Yeah, John didn't quote the whole 2nd Amendment, but it was the first part that he skipped. Then he folded when John challenged him. He sure sounded like someone who was used to posing as an intellectual. Too many people in the U.S. think they "know" something because they heard a newscaster spout an opinion about a controversial topic.

GOD is loyal to His loyal ones and All Merciful All Knowing and All Powerful...however it was not in the service of GOD that he, 'Lovell, John' so took many lives, therefore, if it was GOD's will then also he should have nothing to fear. Fear GOD and give HIM Glory but do NOT MOCK GOD, what you vow keep your vow and your promises to GOD Keep. John is not John he is someone else; and you have been lied to. He is in deep. And are you somebody's prayer? How do you feel about him if you knew he stalked me for over two decades asked me to marry him but it was just a game to him, yeah he was super polite to ask...but his promise was false and his tongue deceptive also cutting deep as a dagger. He has gone to the darkside; pray for him.🙏

The comma between both parts of the 2nd is really really important. One refers to having a well organized militia of free men and the other specifies that the government CANNOT infringe on inalienable rights of Americans. People forget that the Bill of Rights isn’t a rules list for the people but for the government.
As an immigrant I know from my heritage that the second amendment is the key to all our freedoms! More necessary than ever before in the past!
With the second Amendment we are able to ensure the government doesn’t make the same tyrannical moves as so many others have in history. Why do people think the US government in incapable of overreaching. It’s happening in countries as we speak. They all have something in common. The government took the right to have a firearm.
Wake up ppl.

When the 2nd Amendment was written civilians literally owned their own warships and would be asked to help the military if the military needed them. So Americans should be able to use any weapon they so chose to protect their family, home, and protect against a Tyrannical government.

First they're trying come into your home with laws against firearms, when they can't get it done that way, bet your ass they're gonna physically come after them. The U.S.A. is the last road block for N.W.O. HOLD THE LINE PATRIOTS!!!
"It depends on the situation" sounds like the exact kind of speech that opens up any right to infringement.
AWESOME video John. This is how we get things done. Talking to people and respecting their opinions (even if you don't agree with them) as they should ours.
It makes me sick (and angry) when I see Kaepernick and his followers kneeling during the national anthem but as a 101st Airborne veteran, I will fight tooth and nail their right to do it because it is constitutionally protected. We can not cherry pick the constitution.
But is that what the military fights for now? Freedom? Or is it other stuff?
The sailor angered me the most. Had absolutely no idea what it is he swore an oath to. If it’s any consolation, I can assure you that virtually all of those I have met in service, infantry Marines none the less, will defend the constitution from all threats foreign and domestic.
He was one of the paycheck cashers, nothing more, nothing less. He wasn't a warrior, and out of all of the branches of service, the Navy probably has the most Constitutionally deficient members of the services. I don't know many shitty people that served in the Army or Marine Corps, but a good half or more of the sailors I have known have been either creepy dudes or straight up unethical douche bags, just a handful, from my experience were decent good guys..
Thank You , I would hope that civilians know that after the large sacrifices service men and women have endured , that they are 2nd amendment advocates and will protect the US at every cost:)
"No one is going to come take your home." Taliban immediately starts laughing.

Then Israel and America join in. Its less common in America and cloaked in "eminent domain" jargon but all governments will simply take your home if they choose. Some governments will depose your government and install one they prefer if they choose. Just ask the Taliban.
Not to mention see what happens if you stop paying property taxes that they cleverly baked into the cake so you never own your home and they have leverage.
