Post #151
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 videographerIf he were willing to travel I may be willing to spend a few hours on the range with him. IF I were convinced he was genuine.
I have very clear the reasons why I don't like guns, but I don't know why there are so many people defending them in this country, so I am clearly missing something.
He won't answer that question. I guarantee it.@Jordi Rubio
You still never answered my questions.
Picture someone in your family that you love, maybe your mother or your father or a girlfriend or a sibling. Now imagine some crazed lunatic is about to rape one of them(God forbid), while his accomplice is standing there with a gun keeping guard. You walk up on them behind the guards back. At that point would you wish you had a gun to save your family member from being assaulted or do you hate guns so much that you would allow your family member to be attacked while you did nothing?

I agree, because it would force someone who has an irrational hate of guns to think about actually having to use one. They would rather live with their head in the sand in a fantasy world where everything is a lollipops and rainbows.He won't answer that question. I guarantee it.

@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 thoughI would like to wish you the best of luck, but I cannot. You do not support firearm possession, which, to me, means you do not support the US Constitution.
Shame to be so un-American.
Still waiting for you to be honest and answer my question..Sorry

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.People that would consider the full story and reason we don't want to give up our constitutional rights "boring" I guess are the ones that already have their mind made up. Not saying it's for everyone, just saying I don't see the benefits of talking to a wall. If someone who believed big time in pharmaceuticals approached me as a natural practitioner, basically telling me "I don't believe in anything you do, as a matter of fact, I believe in the complete opposite. Would you like to do an interview with me about what you do", I would give you my answer before you finished your sentence. Although it would be dishonest of you, you probably would have had more volunteers if you told us that while you don't own guns, you really haven't made up your mind where you stand. Thank you for your honesty.
By not supporting the second amendment, you show that you do not support the constitution or our way of life.
Our Constitution is a defining part of our lives.
"The range" is the generic term for a facility where one takes firearms to shoot. They are all over. I am not from NYC nor am I familiar with range locations that would be nearby you.
Actually, more law abiding citizens with firearms would result in fewer mass shootings. BTW, I don't have guns because they are "fun." Life is fun and I have guns to make sure I can keep living.By edition, I just mean to make the interview interesting, and that's different than manipulating or twisting what it's said.

I am pretty sure that a stronger control would report in fewer mass shootings in the US, but that doesn't mean that I hate guns. I understand they can be fun, and I would probably have fun shooting. But also I think they are just useful in the right hands.
I hear you but I take into consideration the language barrier here. It's kind of rough.I have asked four or five times for this character to answer my question honestly and he keeps ignoring it.
Clearly you cannot expect honesty from this person in any fashion.
I'd definitely watch that.So, this should speak volumes to Mr. Rubio.
He comes into our domain. 2nd Amendment support is the basis of this site, and expresses his dismay at the very existence of the amendment and our use and enjoyment of firearms and further how he would take that away from pretty much all of us if he could. Yet, he isn't threatened, nobody has said they want him dead or his family harmed. He hasn't been called a murderous Nazi or told he is racist, bigoted and a woman hater. No one holds him responsible for any genocide (although his home country, Spain, carried out genocide all across Central and South America). How is it that such uneducated, intolerant dolts such as us have treated him fairly well?
Jordi, you should question your allies and their portrayal of us versus the treatment we get at the hands of the "big tent" that the liberals claim to be. We are maligned, threatened, discriminated against and called everything imaginable. We are blamed for all the ails of the world.
If this web site is a cross section of those people, how can that be aligned with the portrayal of us put out by the left?
That should be the subject of your video.
Are you cognoscente of the fact that many criminals murder their victims so they will not be identified? They fear prosecution as well as death. Crime is also not always about robbery. Sometimes, murder is the only objective. I would rather have a chance at defending my self and my family than to be completely helpless. Unless of course you plan on putting a police car at every corner. You don't have to have a firearm. Just don't tell me I can't.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 there are 3 attackers in my living room. Would I wish to have a gun? Yes and no. Yes if when I grab mine I discover they don't have one and start running before I kill them. But what if they also have guns (very probable in the US)? Nothing good can come from that situation. I will probably get killed or seriously injured, same with my family. What if I don't have a gun? they would probably just rob us, maybe even hit us, but our lives would not be in so much danger because of the big threat that my gun represents to them.
So you ask me, what would be my method? I would do nothing at all. I would give the attackers what they want because that's what it's proven to be the safest way to go through those situations.
Can I ask you if your gun saved you from some dangerous situation? And even if that happened sometimes, how many innocent people are killed by them every year in comparison?
There is so much wrong in here I don't know where to start.Sorry @Celt, I'm getting a bit lost with all the messages. I will answer you:

Yes a gun saved us from a dangerous situation. I therefore regard your opinion as blatantly wrong and as lunacy formed from naive ignorance. In fact, I regard your efforts, to further limit a god given right guaranteed to me by my constitution, as a threat to me being able to continue to protect my family (the home invasion team was never caught but they did return to wield death threats from the street shortly after law enforcement first left our home). Our lives, situational awareness, and level 2A advocacy were changed forever. I am personally convienced your motives are selfish and I am disgusted by your self rightous arrogance that your touchy touchy feelings are more valuable than my family's life and safety.Can I ask you if your gun saved you from some dangerous situation?

I saw where this thread was going to go right off the bat, and it looks like I decided correctly to avoid.@Darth alive?
He ARGUES in every thread with those that are his brethren and he doesn’t show up to this party?
Nah, it's been fun. Then again I like jock itch.I saw where this thread was going to go right off the bat, and it looks like I decided correctly to avoid.
