So I watched the whole thing and I think in general I agree with his points. It's short-sighted reactionist politics to ban all semi-automatic weapons after an incident like in France.

But why did he have to use such stupid arguments..? Anyone who wants a gun to "defend against terrorists" should never be allowed to own one because that person is not in touch with reality.

Googled for approximately 10 seconds. For the record I'm not replying for you, but for someone who might be reading this conversation and be in the middle ground, prone to read your comment and think you have a good point. Which you don't.

All I can think when I see any mass shooting is "If only more people were armed, maybe lives could have been saved."

Huh, thanks man that was pretty mature of you. For some reason I thought you were a troll account or something, but thank you for proving me wrong. Hope you have a good weekend.

"If only more people were armed, maybe lives could have been saved."

MAYBE you could defend yourself. In the real world things happen really quickly and hitting something is much more dificult than in the movies. I think playing dead gives you a much higher chance of survival.

Next point is how big the chance is to be involved in a terrorist attack that uses guns instead of explosives or something else. I didn't do the math but I think it stands to reason this chance is rather small indeed, arguably negligible.

Based on these two tiny tiny chances (you probably have a higher chance to get killed in an accident on your way back from winning the lottery) you are carrying a lethal piece of equipment everywhere you go, with all the dangers and risk on accidents that come with it? People get hurt by their own weapons more often than you care to admit.

To me that proves you're more interested in your own personal idea of what safety is, than actual quantifiable measurable safety.

I shot approx 200 rounds total at BCT and I was able to consistently hit a target at 300m. So yes, I know it's "Not like the movies." But training a regular person to hit a target under pressure isn't the unfathomable challenge you make it out to be.

Also terrorists aren't bears. Playing dead doesn't stop a bomb from taking off your legs. AoE damage is to strong in the current patch so deception tactics like that usually don't work very well.

"Guns used to fight for freedom" Well yea, 70 years ago maybe.
"EU about to ban your freedom" See point 1.
"We are no longer safe from terrorists" This is fear mongering.

And that was only in the first 40 seconds.
I'm watching the rest now because I am intrigued by this man.

Civil war..? We're talking about the EU here.
