Pretty sure Ariana Huffington has never bragged about how many different continents send her beheading videos that she turns down - while she's got a big poo poo-eating grin on her face. The family packing guns on the xmas cards was a cute outside, but honestly it would've been a better punchline with "every person in that picture is holding at least $500, why not just friend this idiot on facebook and rob her home when she takes her family on their WELL ADVERTISED ANNUAL FAMILY UPPER/MIDDLE-CLASS HOLIDAAYYY!!!!"

A black man smiling on TV, total dirtbag. Laughing at the ludicrous thought that people submit such graphic gore to a humorous culture site obviously not getting it, was bragging about beheading videos? A funnier joke would have been proposing the home invasion/robbery of an elected official? Some of you clearly have preestablished, middle America expectations of how black folks should act that you can't shake to enjoy the Nightly Show.

So that segment on getting a hidden carry license was interesting. On the one hand the NRA guy seemed keen to stress that were general responsibilities that should be kept in mind when handling a firearm... But good god is it really just that easy to get a license? Did Klepper even have to pay for that, because I've spent a minimum of £85 (more due to retakes) trying to get my driving license - and any lethal incidents with the article involved would be hopefully be unintentional (and non-existent).

"Yes but unlike guns a driver's license is not a GUARANTEED RIGHT IN THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION so therefore any regulation is unconstitutional and people should have unfettered access to firearms (despite the fact that many regulations and restrictions are already in place and have been for decades)" - the usual retardo argument I hear in response to  for gunsThese "good guy with a gun" advocates I think are just wannabe heroes who think they'll totally be the one to quickdraw and save the day when some wacko starts shooting things up, when in reality they're more likely to end up like Klepper did in that segment.

Yeah, I think it's a symptom of inherent privilege where one can begin to buy in to power fantasies that other groups with less privilege would generally never assume they could get away with. The privileged group feels that - if they were armed and equipped and present at the time - that they would have done something different/better than what truly occurred. You see it displayed with "well that guy/girl/kid should've just done what the officer ordered" comments from people who've never had a cop shout conflicting orders at them while they're scared and pumped full of adrenaline. You see it from people in high office who drop bombs about how blacks ought to go to "easier" colleges (and thus insinuating that the non-blacks who go to the moire prestigious schools are inherently superior, smarter, etc). The GGWAG thing is just another form of that, where the individual believes that they would have the awareness, reflexes, and luck to save the day and invite everybody over to their handjob condo for drinks - they just don't really understand that the main reason they hold that belief, is because it's never been tested.

I think of all the issues with good guys with guns, the idea that the police aren't going to shoot you when you're running around with a gun at a crime scene is the most perplexing. Well obviously the cops aren't going to shoot me when I save my office from a shooter with my trusty glock. Why would I have to worry about that? No one ever tries to shoot John McClane after he saves the day. Well, no good guys anyway.

It was a good intuitive rebuke to the intuitive notion that armed bystanders can stop these kinds of things- countering a gut feeling with a gut understanding of the realities. And the whole thing was hilarious. Loved the little towel line. Klepper is a fantastic corespondent.

I'm a strong supporter of the second amendment, but I hate how the "good guy with a gun" people try to defend it. Although I'm a Vet so my concepts might be a little skewed? My stance is shared by all of my gun owning friends. And that is that: During an attack, help others escape. You are there in a defensive capacity. If you can't escape find a defensible location and hunker down until SWAT arrives and clears. Your job is to protect people, not to go rainbow six on terrorists with assault rifles.

Decided to give the Nightly Show another shot, but Larry's delivery still seems to be incredibly awkward. I'll work my way through the rest of this week's shows, but that "Spit-Take" soda bit was amazingly unfunny with the audience barely even reacting. And Jesus Christ, Ricky Velez... /edit: Mike Yard I can still get behind Okay, the "gently caress Trump" bit was actually pretty funny and on point.

Run if you can, hide if you can't, and if you can't do either go for the Hail Mary and attack with whatever you've got. When you consider you're dealing with a hosed up individual who may or may not be using some sort of explosives and is likely sporting heavier weaponry than you, it makes sense not to try and Modern Warfare up your office. Especially since if you're shooting, cubicles and office walls provide very little stopping power from stray bullets for your terrified coworkers desperately hiding under their desk. I mean, I guess if you're an off duty SWAT guy who just happens to be stopping by to drop off lunch to your partner while on break from teaching an active shooter strategies class, go hog wild and see if you can't teabag the rear end in a top hat after you get him with a knife attack.

The Spit-take soda bit, it was really telegraphed that he wouldn't spit it, but all he had to say was *mmm that's good soda* he didn't need to spend half a minute explaining why the joke was supposed to be funny because of not spitting the spit take soda.

coyo7e posted:Michael Strahan was such an easygoing and charismatic guy that during that segment I seriously considered checking out his show. Then I remembered it was just a morning show. I didnt know he was with kelly ripa now but he's a really good choice. I thought he was just going to be doing nfl broadcasting for the rest of his life, congrats to him for breaking out like that. John Stewart said somewhere that the Daily Show has the shortest interviews on TV, so it's tough to get the guest on and get to where you want to talk about in the time you have. Noah seems to have gotten to the point where he's comfortable with it now.

M_Gargantua posted:I'm a strong supporter of the second amendment, but I hate how the "good guy with a gun" people try to defend it. Well the thing is, a lot of the time, what the GGWAG crowd are spouting isn't really defending the right to have a gun, which is what the 2nd Amendment largely concerns, and are instead advocating for the active possession of a gun, often at all times. Not that you can, but that you should. Also a point I realised today - whilst its technically true that a GGWAG is probably the most effective response to an active shooter, the GGWAGs tend to be the police.

I too have long felt "well if you really do feel like you need a gun because you hunt or there's a lot of crime where you live", etc. But now for the NRA crowd it's not just that they have the right to have a gun but that everyone should have guns at all times. The guys who march around with rifles and semi-autos are advocates for the second amendment in the same way that someone who walks around shouting obscenities at everyone is an advocate for the first.

Yeah, well put. My mother in law's ex husband specifically bought his first gun after one of these mass shootings in the past few years. But he doesn't hunt or even desire to carry it on his person as far as I can tell. He just wants it to have it I guess

Obviously a gun is not the solution to every crime. Hell, it's a poor solution most of the time. And even though I have a concealed carry license, I loving cringe when I hear NRA types answer these tragedies with, "If only someone had been armed..." That's foolish. There is no way of knowing whether it would have made any difference, positive or negative. And in many of these situations, the circumstances are so stacked against the "good" guy that it's laughable to consider. But on the other end of the spectrum is the notion that armed regular people are worthless and never manage to do anything. Regular people with guns defend themselves all the time. It drat near never makes national news, but it happens a lot. Sometimes it even happens when the odds are ridiculously against the victim. One that happened near where I live recently involved a father gassing up his car when he was approached by two carjackers. They already had their guns on him when he told them that he couldn't give them his car because his infant son was in the back seat. They didn't back down, so, despite the fact that his gun was in the center console, he calculated that letting his son remain in the car when they took off was worse than trying to fight. He managed to get back into the car, get the gun, and shoot one of the attackers; the other ran away. Here is a Washington Post article listing mass shootings and possible* mass shootings that have been stopped by regular people: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/10/03/do-civilians-with-guns-ever-stop-mass-shootings/ *Of course, it's hard to prove a negative. We can't be certain that the criminals in these cases were going to kill more people had they not been shot or if they would have coincidentally quit shooting at exactly the same moment that they were stopped. So yeah, it is stupid and ignorant and presumptuous to assume that a concealed carrier would have been the solution to these horrible events. But it is also stupid and ignorant and presumptuous to assume that there is no way one might have helped.

Last I read/heard it everyone's claiming the Zadroga Act will be included in the Omnibus bill that they all say they'll pass next week, but Zadroga advocates are worried that the Republicans are trying to rewrite things including the name of it and they don't know why, the Democrats were trying to sneak in something I forgot, and a there's still some whispers that the Republicans will hold up all the proceedings over the "defund Planned Parenthood" thing. So you know, politics can kill anything.

I work in a college and this year we were given a brief seminar/workshop on what to do if there was an active shooter situation and it all seemed pretty bleak. Pretty much what the guy told us was that if we were outdoors when it is announced that there is an active shooter situation we must run away from the college as soon as possible and under no circumstances enter any building. If we are indoors during such a situation we must find a room and lock/barricade it as soon as possible. The room must remained locked and barricaded until emergency crews arrive and deliver an all clear. All this sounds logical and rational and such, but the downer part of it was that once you are in the room you must not open it up for anyone, even co-workers. It goes under the assumption that the shooter might pose as someone trying to hide to gain entry to a locked room. Again, all very practical but the idea that people are outside running for the lives trying to get into locked rooms where there might be just one person holed up in seems terrifying to me.
