41 seconds of awesome, Shaun!

This clip should start at the right time, but if YouTube offers a way for a linked video to stop at a chosen time, I don't know what it is. Like I said, it's about 41 seconds.

You were great, Shaun.

Thanks, guys. It didn't turn out too bad. I made sure to talk non-stop so I couldn't be cutoff early Wink

I was a little disappointed that they gave so many minutes to other people, and then less than a minute to the pro-gun side. That's to be expected though lol.

The part that they did NOT show was how I said violence is a cultural problem in America - that it's the breakdown of the family, it's the entertainment industry, our "leaders" who are bombing people every day, etc.

Violence is a regular part of our society. We watch it on TV, on movies, listen to it in music, video games, etc. I'm not blaming these things, but to not mention them when it's so obvious is a disservice. These are major factors. I think the fact that we have millions of "laws" - most of which punish behavior that did not victimize or violate the rights of others - and all of the laws are backed by VIOLENCE (violence is OK as long as you work for "da goverment").

We bash people, electrocute them, handcuff them, drag them, shoot them, kick them...for stuff like not wearing a seatbelt, not having a drivers license, speeding, possessing certain types of plants, etc.

And anyone is surprised when children and young adults lash out violently???
