I just saw the teaser and I think nobody forced Philip Van Cleave to say it's a good idea to give guns to toddlers. The "trick" here is to make the subject think you are on his side so he can express freely, but those are his own thoughts. Do you guys relate to those words?

I feel like this can become a philosophic thread :D How can we know if someone "is" evil, or bad people, so he/she shouldn't have access to guns? Many times people responsible for mass shootings had no criminal history. My opinion is that we all, depending on the circumstances, can become evil...

Thanks Phazer, that was really instructive.

Thanks for the reference, I had no idea about those texts from Gandhi. But I second your words, I do believe that guns in the hands of the good man are the only way to stop evil. It's just that I don't think that those are everybody's hands.

Okay, definitely not a good comparison!! :ROFL:

Thanks for the message, you sound like a responsible dad. If you allow me, I would take that as an example of the full situation. Let's imagine your kids are the US population. And let's say you are the government... after all, you set the rules lol The thing is that even if you are sure...

Thanks so much guys for your response and for the respect all of you showed to me. Both are things that I was not sure I would get, mostly because I'm not even an American and I dare to discuss the main topic of this forum. And I understand it's not any topic, I know this is something important...

Thanks, that complicate the things. I wouldn't want to make you feel uncomfortable, but thanks for considering it and for your messages.

I feel honored that you think I can be a "big" scam :D Thanks for sharing this, I can understand much better your position now. Is that range far from NYC? Do you think I could bring a camera there?

T Thanks for the link

Thanks, that was useful.

Thanks, I am a bit shocked too. I just posted that topic hoping to get "some" response and now I can't keep up with the messages. And believe me, I have other more interesting things to do than trolling people :)

Yes, I would agree to not publish anything if the interviewed person thinks that's not what he/she meant. I will never manipulate or twist the meanings or anything like that. I prefer making a pro-guns video but that is fair to the truth than a not honest but very convincing anti-guns piece...

Steal2B, I think you are right, we must educate our children so they use the tools we all have around in a safe way. But the difference between a gun and a car, for example, is that a car is statistically mostly used to drive people around. I agree with you, it would be so stupid to forbid cars...

Yes I read your advice, but what do you exactly mean? I hope you don't mean it as a threat...

I understand your point, but with all my respects, United States is also unique for this: You’re 25 Times More Likely To Be Shot To Death In America Than Any Other Developed Nation Please, don't get me wrong, I didn't come here to argue, but to find someone that tells me exactly those things in...

Hi again, I'm sorry, I don't have so much time and I can't keep up with all the messages. But I did what you suggested me. Here a pair of links I found explaining what to do if you are a victim of a robbery or if someone is pointing at you with a gun: Expert advice on what to do if you ever...

In that case, I would like to shoot the $h!t of that guy... but the thing is, how many chances do you have for that to happen? And for those remote chances, I have to have a gun home, knowing that some of my kids can grab it and kill himself or someone else? Doesn't that happen too?

Thanks for your message @carpediem. I am so sorry if I offended you or someone else by my opinions. I know this is not the best place to express them, but it's the place where I had to come to really understand people that support guns. And I'm so grateful that nobody insulted or disrespected...

Sorry @Celt, I'm getting a bit lost with all the messages. I will answer you: Yes, I think I should have the right to defend myself, and I think self-defense techniques can be so useful. But I don't see in which case scenario a gun would be helpful to me. Answering your question, let's say...

Thanks @Podmonkey

By edition, I just mean to make the interview interesting, and that's different than manipulating or twisting what it's said. The recording can take 2 or 3 hours, but I can't publish all that on youtube or nobody will see it. I am pretty sure that a stronger control would report in fewer mass...

Sorry @GOPerfect I like to think I'm a pacifist. It's not that I don't support the US Constitution, I just say that guns should be strongly regulated to avoid them to end up in the wrong hands... I know this may not be the best place to say that though :confused:

Hello Podmonkey. I don't know what do you guys mean by "genuine". I published my real name, I am just a regular videographer wanting to do a project on a topic I think it's interesting... maybe to stop being a regular videographer :D I have very clear the reasons why I don't like guns, but I...

I understand. Where is "the range"?

Thanks for taking the time on writing this. I think this really explains so good your position, but to me is shocking that you consider the right of owning a tool that it's just useful for killing people, more important than the right of feeling safe in your community. That's how I think.

The problem is that unless I want people to get so bored, I do need to edit the interview and choose the most interesting parts. But I would never publish something that the interviewee wouldn't like.

Yup, that's me :)

I understand it might be hard to believe. But I spent the last 4 years working so hard to get a living from my passion. And I work mostly with musicians, you can imagine how rich I am XD

Sure! Last years I've been working with artists and NY organizations. They are nice projects but not really interesting from a journalistic point of view. Now I wanted to go a step further and produce something a bit more relevant, and I thought that this is an interesting topic. So my idea is...

Thanks for your message masterswimmer, and thanks for the reference. I am so much an outsider that I didn't even know about Katie Couric. I understand what you say, but even if I don't see the need for normal people to own guns, I would never spin expert's words or opinions. I'm not even a...

Howdy! I'm a filmmaker based in New York City. I'm looking for a person, or group of people, who would defend the second amendment in a recorded interview. This will be used in a personal project, a short documentary, and I would just need a few hours of your day. Disclaimer: I don't support...
