The only thing I gleaned from that video is that ridiculously large wheels and spinners are still a thing...

The some, unfortunately are presented and made viable by the agenda driven politicians amplified by their media lemmings.

The other 80% plus of us (silent majority) still have basic American values.

I mostly believed the same myself until the last election proved me wrong once and for all. Welcome to the Fall Of Roman Empire, Redux.

It appears America is following the fall of Rome.

I’m not anti gun, but I’m definitely all about controlling their access by those that shouldn’t be carrying. Too many people lack the self discipline to carry, or the mental competence. There was a time in our history when everyone wore a gun. It was called the wild Wild West. Every hot head solved his problems with brute force by drawing his gun. We know how that went, yet it seems many are determined to put us back into that type of society again. More guns historically speaking has shown to make an unstable society.

That is a fallacy, promoted by Dime Store Novels and the Movies...

In reality, the "Wild West" was nothing of the sort...

You certainly watch too many westerns.

What does the "district up north" have to do with deadly shootings in Florida? Florida has some of the most generous gun rights in the country. It also has some of the most gruesome mass shootings in the country. Not the only ones for sure - no state is immune. But you can't blame Florida's shootings on tight gun restrictions, because Florida doesn't HAVE tight gun restrictions.

Generous gun right?

Generous???

The government does not "bestow" our rights upon us...

And one of the reasons I'm moving to FL is that fact that they try not to INFRINGE on our rights...

Much of the human species is too unevolved to carry a gun. They too often base their reactions on emotions, instead of using intellect. That lack of self discipline creates a warring society stuck in escalating circumstances. Unfortunately, we will never get out of this spiraling out of control because too many think the reaction should be bigger guns, more guns, etc. That never stops because violence always creates more violence, despite whether you think your “violence” is in the right. There will be no end to it until it destroys our society, and many start looking for a strong-man authoritarian that makes them feel safe again, and that will end our democracy because that group of society will do anything to keep their strong man in office and be-damned the democracy experiment. That’s how democratic societies always end.

I think these good folks would disagree, and I am with them:

A government that fears an armed citizenry, is a government to be feared. Much less crime where people are armed.
