Blonde and roaming need to host a show without matt
That's not full reciprocation
They have talked about that @Grave
Blonde would need to host an episode with Styx or something
Who is going to run the show?
I would host blonde. I'd just need to get Matt's login so I could post to his page
i just watched that political correctness debate with Jordan Peterson... best quote from it... Peterson: "i never said that" - Goldberg: "google it" 🤔
also... Michael Dyson comes of as an elitist, racist, lunatic
That would make sense if there was footage or something but it's just hearsay
And deliberate misinterpretation
Googling? I would say someone like peterson, who is very aware of what he says, knows without google if he said something or not.
michael eric dyson is nothing but a race baiting piece of shit. That's why i grunted when they announced him as the for side on that debate panel.
He's the black Cenk Uygur
People forget the specific wording they use all the time
It's not an awareness/intelligence/intent thing, it's just human limitation
Granted, it's still a shitty way to word it
I still need to take time and watch the whole debate. I've seen a 10 minute clip of it
It's not super worthwhile tbh
the pro side is very much what you'd expect... exactly what they pretend to be against.
well... i actually have to disagree with Matt's new video... the "easy" access to guns in indiana does contribute to chicago gun crimes and the fact that the gun crime rate in illinois is higher than in in the neighboring states makes complete sense. The guns get bought in a neighbor state and then get brought to and used in illinois because the risk is lower because the people that follow the law are less likely to be armed there.
They'd have to be smuggled there
Ease of access to guns doesn't explain away Houston and Dallas, which have a lower murder rate AFAIK, while still being large cities in states with easy access to firearms
of course they have to be smuggled their... are you implying that criminals respect the law? 😉
and yes it does explain Houston and Dallas: higher chance of running into armed people while commiting a crime.
basically... illinois is a soft target
I'm saying you're going to have your rates of acquisition lowered by the realities of smuggling
Also that's not an argument *against* gun accessibility now is it? ;)
it's not the Hoosiers committing the crime though. It's Chicago residents. Whether or not the guns are stolen in Illinois or Indiana should be cited, but people from Wisconsin and Indiana are not going to Chicago to kill people
The comment section is going nuts over that, though
it's an argument against "indiana gun laws do not contribute to gun violence in illinois"
But it's in spite of state gun laws that these weapons end up in Illinois, which was Matt's point
And then the other half was the ease of access argument
It's also worth noting that more guns doesn't necessarily equate to less gun crime either
nah, it's specifically because of state gun laws 😉
more profitable, less risk
The notion that everyone has a gun so people are less likely to start shooting isn't necessarily true. Layman did a video a while back in which he found basically no link between violent crime and gun availability iirc
But a significant portion of legal purchases came from IL stores in Cook county, so evidently that's not the case
makes sense. if you buy a gun legally there is no sense in doing it out of state and complicate things needlessly
You'd have to have some data on where these guns came from but since most criminals using them dispose of the gun and probably file any serial numbers it's hard to know where any of them are coming from. I think it's pretty obvious that if the federal government went as hard as Illinois and banned hand guns you'd see a significant decrease in hand gun violence everywhere including Illinois. It's just not something that I'd want to happen
