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

Also this would have to be some fantasy land where people willingly went along with government gun confiscation and good luck with that lol

better dead than disarmed

How do I get some airtime

I want to discuss geopolitical issues of major significance

The guy talking who's not on cam is dumb

he's just nervous! be nice!

muh sexist caller!

Lol the awkward inability to respond to "women dont watch our show cuz they're not smart enough"

have they talked about those doctors in Atlanta dancing and singing during surgery causing brain damage??
