In 2018, Anderson published a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/fwTN0g4AAkY\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-deaths-human-sacrifice-cnn\" title=\"CNN Guest Compares GOP\u2019s Inaction on Gun Control to 'Mass Human Sacrifice'\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>\u201cBig Think\u201d<\/em><\/a> video purporting to explain to viewers \u201chow the gun control debate went crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the segment, Andersen repeats the same tired anti-gun talking points about the Second Amendment: that gun rights were reserved for militia members, that guns in the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century were much less scary, and that a full-throated defense of gun rights is a recent phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[In the 1970s], the National Rifle Association and the gun lobby more generally went out of its mind, to be blunt, and decided to be absolutists, that there would be no regulation of guns,\u201d Andersen claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think, really meaningful regulation of the ownership of guns at this point is a political fantasy as a result, ironically, of the Second Amendment absolutists and re-interpreters and revisionists and fantasists having imposed their interpretation of the Second Amendment on all of us,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2012, Andersen posted on Facebook that he visited a range in New York city to \u201cfire a semiautomatic .22.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTurned out, somewhat shockingly, that I\u2019m a good shot,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
