Editor’s note: The video and write-up below comes courtesy of Steve Crowder, an actor, comedian, and political commentator. It shows in no uncertain terms the ignorance that exists with respect to firearms. Sure, it’s a small sample size, but even so, it’s telling in that it underscores the pressing need to educate the non-gun owning public on firearms and gun ownership. The future of our Second Amendment rights ultimately depends on our ability to enlighten voters and disabuse them of the many myths, lies, and distortions that they’ve been fed by anti-gunners and the mainstream media. You can catch more of Crowder’s work on his website, “Louder with Crowder.”
If you’re reading this, you probably know the difference between an automatic and a semi-automatic weapon. You now know more than “common sense gun control” advocates. That’s because you, the fabulous person reading this post, has at least two brain cells to rub together to form a cogent thought. Which makes you seven bajillion times smarter than the average anti-gun loon, who knows as much about guns as a lobster knows quantum physics. Therefore we’re exposing just how little anti-gun ninnies (who vote) don’t know. It’s frankly a little bit scary. As in holy crap, hide under a blanket.1
Ignorance thy name is leftism. The more anti-gun the moron, the more vocal that moron seems to be.
I cannot state this enough: these uneducated people vote. They watch the “news.” They listen to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and believe Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama when either of them says anything about the scary, black boom-boom sticks. Or even just the regular variety boom-boom sticks. Which again I say, you already knew.
So next time your local anti-gun leftist opens his/her/ze’s mouth to bitch about guns, make sure you show them this video. The opposition is stupid, yes. But massive in numbers. Time to educate the lobster-brains as best we can.
Going out on the street and acting like you are trying to be informative, but spreading more b’s is not really being helpful at all. Quite the contrary, many of the uninformed people just had their mistaken beliefs reinforced by an “informed person” at your booth. Way to go, Quisling.
I love that “wood stock and metal” is the criterion – like, ummm, a fully automatic Thompson .45 submachine gun? Meanwhile, a .22 cal. “Uzi look-alike” is a “no-no”, but a traditional looking lever action, holding 13+ rounds and firing a far more capable round, is “okay”. And that is the essence of the objections. They’re purely visceral – “it looks scary”, so we have bans on guns with thumbhole stocks and a dependent forearm grip and a bayonet lug, without regard to its relative lethality (or, in the case of “assault weapons”, their actual lethality as represented by their miniscule contribution to the homicide statistics). And then, of course, there is that bastard beast, “the fully semi-automatic” gun (alternatively known as an “assault weapon”). I cannot hear that phrase (“fully semi-automatic”) without going ape. It summarizes in two words (well, including the hyphenate) every stupidity on the gun control side of the aisle. Why not “I own a fully bolt actuated military rifle!” OMG, “fully bolt action” – and “military”! Hide the kids!
Hey, I keep a loaded gun for the same reason I keep a loaded fire extinguisher!!
So this kind of participating would be perfect to elect Hillary. Common sense…..What’s COMMON is what’s DECLARED common. Today common sense would say to NOT elect a liar into the highest office. But the “other” common sense is that Hillary is the choice…….
I thought this was a dangerous video, he never clarified to these idiots that what he had said was total BS. Now there is just that many more people who believe a certain gun can shoot 600 rounds a second. I am not a fan of this video at all. It’s reckless
These people and you guys never say an actual reason to let people have access to firearms, semi-auto or what ever. If the muts that do the shootings CAN NOT GET A RIFLE OR PISTOL THEY ARE GOING TO USE BOMBS! Any body think of that. Look at the Boston Bomber NO GUNS. You guys who say we should get rid of full or semi automatic fire arms are nuts? Why ? Almost any firearm except a single shot CAN BE MADE INTO A SEMI AUTOMATIC OR AUTOMATIC. Look it up in the fighting in the Philippians the USA supplied the guerillas with bolt action rifles converted into semi automatic.
The tsarnaev brothers did in fact have a gun. They used it it shoot the MIT officer. Here is an article about the guy that provided the gun that they used to commit murder

They don’t even enforce the “common sense” gun laws we already have. I’m sure he’s already turned his life around, and is a productive member of society now
Thank god for television, movies and newspapers that provide the much needed gun safety and firearm identification information to the general public. If it were not for the popular mafia crime drama movies and the ever-so knowledgeable fear-mongering politicians, the average Joe just wouldn’t have a clue about those fully semi-automatic killer full clip asphalt weapon gun thingies. Remember, if it’s black it will attack, but if it’s wood then it’s OK (probably)! I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning! It smells like victory……..and Starbucks coffee!
I don’t know about you, but after watching for a few minutes I wanted to shoot the cameraman. Get a damn tripod! Or at least hold it steady!

If there were truth in politics, the movement would be called, “Common Fear Gun Reform.”
Since these folks we’re trying to reach operate at such a primal level, we should be using that fear to reign them in.
Such as:
Buffalo Grove, IL, 8/10/2016 – Two masked home invaders stabbed a homeowner, his two children, and their dog. The intruders fled when the home owner grabbed his hand gun and fired a shot.
Sycamore, IL, 8/16/2016 – An unknown intruder forced his way into a home and bludgeon a 85 year old mother, and her 64 year old son to death. The killer is still at large.
When crime happens in your home, Hillary’s body guards may be 500 miles away. Who is going to protect you until the police arrive? No one, if Hillary is elected President.
Well said Tom, well said.
