@@MarcosPerez-wx1fxIt’s not always that; there’s also the point that a person who was a victim of violence when he was young, who as a kid saw his parents gunned down and die in front of him wouldn’t want to do the same to anyone else; because the thugs and gangsters he goes after might have kids too, or parents, or wives etc. He’s unwilling to perpetrate the same act that was perpetrated unto him
@@MarcosPerez-wx1fx Superman also has a good reason, if its rarely brought up. He already had GODLIKE power. If he took the power to be judge, jury, and executioner on top of all he already has, it would be going too far. He'd basically be saying, "I'm God." Humans have their justice systems, and he allows them to decide the fate of human criminals. If they want to execute someone, he wont' stop them.

@@giin97 To be exact, total gun deaths range from 30k-40k including suicides, homicides, etc. while defensive uses of guns range from 60k-2.5M so even if we use the low end, that's still way more defensive uses.

I apreciate the humor on such a serious topic, trust me, clearing my house with a switchblade when I saw an unidentified belt in my apartment on Halloween morning... Context: I live alone (last person besides me should have been my parents 6 months prior), and seeing a random belt in my apartment meant someone was in there, while I slept, probably without their pants on. And yes this state makes having ANY hand pewpew illegal, even in your own home unless you beg and get special exemption, knives were not even on my top 5 picks but that's the best I could legally have even with a spotless record (never even had a fine for a speeding ticket).
@@thehermitman822 The belt is fine, it freaks me out every time I see it though (I try to leave it exactly where it was for evidence just in case something did happen and the police actually cared to investigate). Its well worn, size 36 waist (for comparison I'm very skinny at size 29" waist), and its stamped with a floral pattern.
That's the point of it heard about it from some movie nerd it's supposed to mirror the victim to themselves as they're murdered. It's like an evil mockery or something.

@@PROPAROXITONO I think you're missing the point. If someone's there to kill you (whether because you're a slasher villain invading their home, or the person who's home they're invading), police response time of even one minute is longer than you likely have before you're dead or seriously injured. Not sure about you, but I'd rather be alive to face my consequences than dead because I had to wait for the "right people" to come with their weapons.
@@KuraiLunae because people are targetting to kill you? I don't think that any western country is so fucked up, that this is a normal assumption. You could also be attacked by a bear while you are sitting at home if we are just making random shit up. Do you have a bear-deterrent spay around - just in case? Because a grizzley won't care much if he gets shot 1 or 2 times and the spray could help instead.
@@KuraiLunae You are statistically more likely to be killed by your own gun, or kill a family member with your own gun, than be killed by a home invader. You're also more likely to have your home invaded if you own guns because criminals want to sell those guns on the black market.
@@KuraiLunae but I said that the gun is pretty effective to defend you, that's not contradicting what I said. it is effective IF you are with the gun in your hand, the people invading your house call you alerting you they are there, and the person invading is using a knife, not a gun too. because if you are a responsible adult, you will keep your gun in a safe place, in a drawer where a kid can't find and whatever. and I don't know in the USA, I'm Brazillian, but here bandits don't usually alert you that they are invading, normally they enter your house quietly or when you open the door to attend them, which doesn't give you this precious minute to get your gun. and even if you get and the person who invaded your house suspect you will get your gun, he will shoot you before you have the chance to shoot him. and that isn't something in my head. there are statistics about that. just look for how much people "protect themselves" with guns and how much these same guns are used to kill an innocent, to suicide, or get stoled by the bandit and used in others crimes.
"ho ho, you're approaching me? even after seeing my immense collection of guns and ammo you're still coming closer?" "I can't stab the shit out of you without getting any closer." "well then, come as close as you like."

Secretly it takes place in an alternate universe where the second amendment wasn’t expanded beyond what it meant. The right to bear arms only applies to forming a militia
@@Skullhawk13 You have a reading comprehension problem, as well as a gross misunderstanding of what a militia is. "...[T]he right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." That's a pretty clear enumeration of a personal right. And the phrase about the militia very clearly does not mitigate that. In fact, the phrase about the militia directly implies that the formation of a militia is impossible without an individual right to firearm ownership and goes on to state, in no uncertain terms, that a "free state" is impossible without that right. You might not like the Second Amendment, but it says what it says.
@@MrMagnaniman that’s so interesting how you cite the expanded definition as of a Supreme Court ruling beyond the founders intention and make the exact same expanded definition. Private gun ownership was not a right for all citizens by default. You can go to the NRA circle-jerk all you want, but I don’t actually care about the people who are lifting restrictions on gun ownership when we’re the only country on earth to have yearly mass shootings and several per year. But sure I have a misunderstanding. You also automatically assumed I was against private gun ownership just because it’s not what the founders intended. I think having hand guns as a self-defense option is fine I just disagree with heavier firepower being so easily obtained. I don’t really base my morals on what 200 year old slave owners thought was right. There is no level where anything you have to say has even a tiny merit. You should really look into the history here from more than one source, So you can overcome your ignorance here. If TH-cam didn’t delete comments with links I’d gladly show you several sources.
@@MrMagnaniman the original definition and meaning was basically a State’s right to have citizen soldiers. It’s been usurped by the national guard. It was not about individual rights. It wasn’t until after the civil war the modern interpretation was decided by the Supreme Court.
I love this channel so much holy shit. the videos being genuinely funny without having that "filmographer from 1980s tokyo" production quality remind me of the early days of youtube/the internet.
My favorite part is when the killer realizes he screwed up and he calls the cops. The sad truth is I can actually picture that happening. Someone breaks into someone else's home, committing a crime, they get caught and take the home owner to court for defending their property and/or life.
@@immikeurnot Whatever happened to right and wrong? I think if you are knowingly committing a crime your rights should be forfeit. A criminal breaks into someones home, gets shot and sues them. Where is the judge that says "If you weren't breaking into his home you wouldn't be in a wheelchair."
@@eviljoshy3402 Any self-defense should be proportional to the level of immediate danger. Shooting some robber dead for trying to steal cash/a watch is objectively morally wrong.
The usual solutions are to target people unlikely to have a gun (teens, very young adults, people at a college or some other place unlikely to be packing, etc), have the villain unable to be stopped by bullets, or have the gun toting guy get killed first, usually by surprise.
Movies like Scream and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are probably the best arguments for the Second Amendment and gun ownership out there. Both villains would be dead within minutes or less, and they'd frankly look stupid instead of scary (especially Leatherface).
@@thunderbird1921 Texas Chainsaw Massacre actually took place during a time when gun ownership was more run of the mill than the politically charged stuff of today. Meanwhile, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween and Friday the 13th pretty much continue without a single adjustment even if all of the protagonists have guns.
Ho Ho Ho! Black Rifle Coffee Company releases a video every year at Halloween called "If Veterans Were In Horror Movies" that revolves around this same idea. Merry Christmas!

When I a kid, my dad tried to scare me and my mom with a Jason mask and a fake chainsaw. I ran off and came back with a kitchen knife. Naturally, my parents freaked out and took it from me. But apparently, even then I didn’t fk around. 30 years later, if Ghost-face breaks into my house, I’m not calling the cops.
Someone should make a fake horror movie. Like the trailer should play scary music and show the killer, but in the actual movie, he gets smoked by a civilian gun owner in the first 10 minutes, and the rest of the movie is just the guy's self-defense trial.
4:24 This is your reminder that this sort of rhetoric isn't actually that unrealistic (but still completely unreasonable). As it stands now, if someone breaks into your home, burglarizes you, and harms themselves on something in your home considered dangerous or negligent placement, the home invader can literally sue you in some places of the world and win, as has already happened.
Literal Brazil. And I guarantee you it's worse than just accidentally hurt himself on a "recklessly placed Houseware". I'm talking about having lethal force applied on them by the owner when they try to R his wife and take stuff with themselves. It happens on a daily basis here that if you react in self defense or defense of another and hurts them, you're the one that's going to come out worse of it and spend more time on J. Let that sink in

His muzzle and trigger discipline. Very scary
shotguns be better weapon fast reload time if u got short 1 and shells are big and able reload fast

“Not so tough without your gun!”
“Yeah but I’m pretty tough with it”
Words that every anime protagonist need to hear
"I may be out of ammo, but I'm not out of options!"
-Anime Protagonist, probably
i like how that the slasher instantly starts trying to gaslight after knowing that hes going to die if he tries to fight him as is
Lol what a classic case of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a… knife
Should just…brought a gun
Honestly it is from a statistical standpoint; there are many times more successful defensive uses than even total gun deaths counting everything from murder to suicide to accidental discharge, orders of magnitude more uses. Most of the time it's present, make them crap themselves and run away, not even a shot fired.
But in the other cases yeah, knife and gun are equal force, both deadly weapons, so absolutely you shoot down a nutbag with a knife.
I agree, although the main character scared me more
@@giin97 To be exact, total gun deaths range from 30k-40k including suicides, homicides, etc. while defensive uses of guns range from 60k-2.5M so even if we use the low end, that's still way more defensive uses.
You got a source for those figures?
I cannot for the life of me figure out any of Zach’s political beliefs and I think that just makes everything so much funnier
He seems to be relatively centered, I think
The key to entertainment is to never single out a portion of your base. Keep yourself ambiguous to all. Fire off in every direction
He just calls out the absurdities in everyday life regardless of the side.
Not everything needs to be about politics.
@@peris_arts_film9699
Yep, never take a stance, make fun of everyone and everything.
I see I'm not the only one rewatching this after the prequel dropped
Same, lol.

A competent gun owner would probably turn a zombie attack on his home from a horror movie, to the battle of helms deep from lord of the rings
Until he runs out of ammo. Or ends up drawing hordes of zombies to his house due to the report of the firearm. Or finds out that hitting a moving target in the head is harder than it looks.
Real guns tend to be quite bad in those hypothetical situations, since you won’t have Hollywood’s infinite ammo clip.
@@kingol4801what?
I apreciate the humor on such a serious topic, trust me, clearing my house with a switchblade when I saw an unidentified belt in my apartment on Halloween morning...
Context: I live alone (last person besides me should have been my parents 6 months prior), and seeing a random belt in my apartment meant someone was in there, while I slept, probably without their pants on. And yes this state makes having ANY hand pewpew illegal, even in your own home unless you beg and get special exemption, knives were not even on my top 5 picks but that's the best I could legally have even with a spotless record (never even had a fine for a speeding ticket).
uh.. bro???? did u ever find out what it was???????
C’mon we gotta know what happened!
Is the belt ok???
@@Vivisectional He's dead, he finally found him
@@thehermitman822 The belt is fine, it freaks me out every time I see it though (I try to leave it exactly where it was for evidence just in case something did happen and the police actually cared to investigate).
Its well worn, size 36 waist (for comparison I'm very skinny at size 29" waist), and its stamped with a floral pattern.
What is funny is, this wouldn't even be top 10 for the oddest calls a 911 operator gets over the course of a year.
Zach's ability to argue with himself is amazing.

Ghostface’s mask has an entirely different feel to it when he’s running away scared
man, if you think about it, the mask doesn't look scary, it looks worried and afraid
That's the point of it heard about it from some movie nerd it's supposed to mirror the victim to themselves as they're murdered. It's like an evil mockery or something.
Presenting Zach Star everybody, the man who has been the entire D&D character alignment sheet since 2020.
I love the look of disinterest on the operators face as he hears the villain get wrecked!
“Not so tough without your gun”
“But I’m tough with it”
😂😂😂😂
I think this is the reason why most slasher villains are effectively invincible.
I love the fact that you continue these arcs instead of leaving us to wonder what the hell happened, it really helps with continuity in the ZachStarHimself Cinematic Multiverse
I have to respect awesome gun slinging when I see it, not one shot popped off during those spins
Oh man!
Every now and then I come across a video that truly makes me laugh uncontrollably!
"Not so tough without your gun? Are you?"
"No. But I am pretty tough with it."
ROTFLMAO!
Thank you so much! I am SO using that someday.
2:08 I didn't think I would see a stereotypical slasher villain with an unnaturally deep voice imitate a chicken today but I ain't complainin'
After seeing the way he handles the ‘firearm’, i think he’s gonna end up giving himself a darwin award if he was in a slasher film like in Halloween Kills.

@@Boudiccanyc Where did I say he NEVER makes statements? My only point is that he's capable of making videos of such subjects without doing so.
@@ACEGAMER120 without making a political statement == without making any political statement. Review your logic. If he just makes one political statement, your main comment is wrong
@@truestopguardatruestop164 no, that's not how that works. @ACEGAMER120 merely said that zach has managed to make fun of a lot of topics without making a political statement, with each case being independent of each other. Now this does not say that Zach HASN'T made political statements in SOME videos; it merely states that he has made fun of many controversial topics without making a political statement in those individual videos.
This thread is a certified reddit moment.
Pretty well summed up explanation of the issue with gun control laws 😂. When scream needed the help of the police they were minutes away lol.
yes. if you are already with your gun in your hand and the villain calls you to alert the fact he is in your house, is pretty effective.
@@PROPAROXITONO I think you're missing the point. If someone's there to kill you (whether because you're a slasher villain invading their home, or the person who's home they're invading), police response time of even one minute is longer than you likely have before you're dead or seriously injured. Not sure about you, but I'd rather be alive to face my consequences than dead because I had to wait for the "right people" to come with their weapons.
@@KuraiLunae because people are targetting to kill you? I don't think that any western country is so fucked up, that this is a normal assumption.
You could also be attacked by a bear while you are sitting at home if we are just making random shit up. Do you have a bear-deterrent spay around - just in case? Because a grizzley won't care much if he gets shot 1 or 2 times and the spray could help instead.
@@KuraiLunae You are statistically more likely to be killed by your own gun, or kill a family member with your own gun, than be killed by a home invader. You're also more likely to have your home invaded if you own guns because criminals want to sell those guns on the black market.
@@KuraiLunae but I said that the gun is pretty effective to defend you, that's not contradicting what I said. it is effective IF you are with the gun in your hand, the people invading your house call you alerting you they are there, and the person invading is using a knife, not a gun too.
because if you are a responsible adult, you will keep your gun in a safe place, in a drawer where a kid can't find and whatever. and I don't know in the USA, I'm Brazillian, but here bandits don't usually alert you that they are invading, normally they enter your house quietly or when you open the door to attend them, which doesn't give you this precious minute to get your gun. and even if you get and the person who invaded your house suspect you will get your gun, he will shoot you before you have the chance to shoot him.
and that isn't something in my head. there are statistics about that. just look for how much people "protect themselves" with guns and how much these same guns are used to kill an innocent, to suicide, or get stoled by the bandit and used in others crimes.
I hope the slasher doesn't recognize the orange tip on the gun barrel.
The funniest thing is how easy it is to project the look of stunned realization on his masked face every time he gets a dose of reality.
You know all of these videos give me that sort of nostalgic feeling from early angry game reviewer plotlines on TH-cam. I love it.
As a gun owner myself, I do sit on my couch twirling my gun on my finger
Least responsible gun owner I've ever seen, but it worked out in the end.
oddly enough, not the LEAST responsible I've seen.
Don't watch Brandon Herrera's Darwin Award videos.

@@ML-sc3pt in his videos there’s a video of a man sitting on the barrel of a shotgun and giving himself a high speed colonoscopy
I love the fact that like half this video is about them derailing an argument to something irrelevant instead of the actual gun vs slasher
Ironically thr various ghostface killers who he's dressed up as from Scream is the only major slashers that sometimes use guns
"ho ho, you're approaching me? even after seeing my immense collection of guns and ammo you're still coming closer?"
"I can't stab the shit out of you without getting any closer."
"well then, come as close as you like."
This is Greece literally
You cannot attack your attacker in order to defend yourself cause you'll go to jail

Alternative Title: if horror styles based on USA were realistic
1:51 "You're risking everything on that theory?" 🤣
come to think of it, that just might be the most unrealistic part of the scream franchise: no one aside from the authorities seems to have a firearm
Secretly it takes place in an alternate universe where the second amendment wasn’t expanded beyond what it meant. The right to bear arms only applies to forming a militia
It’s not impossible, though. It’s not like every household has a gun.
@@Skullhawk13 You have a reading comprehension problem, as well as a gross misunderstanding of what a militia is.
"...[T]he right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." That's a pretty clear enumeration of a personal right. And the phrase about the militia very clearly does not mitigate that. In fact, the phrase about the militia directly implies that the formation of a militia is impossible without an individual right to firearm ownership and goes on to state, in no uncertain terms, that a "free state" is impossible without that right.
You might not like the Second Amendment, but it says what it says.
@@MrMagnaniman that’s so interesting how you cite the expanded definition as of a Supreme Court ruling beyond the founders intention and make the exact same expanded definition. Private gun ownership was not a right for all citizens by default. You can go to the NRA circle-jerk all you want, but I don’t actually care about the people who are lifting restrictions on gun ownership when we’re the only country on earth to have yearly mass shootings and several per year. But sure I have a misunderstanding. You also automatically assumed I was against private gun ownership just because it’s not what the founders intended. I think having hand guns as a self-defense option is fine I just disagree with heavier firepower being so easily obtained. I don’t really base my morals on what 200 year old slave owners thought was right. There is no level where anything you have to say has even a tiny merit. You should really look into the history here from more than one source, So you can overcome your ignorance here. If TH-cam didn’t delete comments with links I’d gladly show you several sources.
@@MrMagnaniman the original definition and meaning was basically a State’s right to have citizen soldiers. It’s been usurped by the national guard. It was not about individual rights. It wasn’t until after the civil war the modern interpretation was decided by the Supreme Court.
*The scariest part about this video is how it's actually less ridiculous than reality*

My favorite part is when the killer realizes he screwed up and he calls the cops. The sad truth is I can actually picture that happening. Someone breaks into someone else's home, committing a crime, they get caught and take the home owner to court for defending their property and/or life.
It's happened. Look for them, you can find articles.
@@immikeurnot Whatever happened to right and wrong? I think if you are knowingly committing a crime your rights should be forfeit. A criminal breaks into someones home, gets shot and sues them. Where is the judge that says "If you weren't breaking into his home you wouldn't be in a wheelchair."
@@eviljoshy3402 Any self-defense should be proportional to the level of immediate danger.
Shooting some robber dead for trying to steal cash/a watch is objectively morally wrong.
@@kingol4801 I'm of the opinion that breaking into someone's home for any reason is morally wrong.
I love how this is a continuation of the horror character when they’re told during danger I think that’s the title
I've definitely talked about this every time I watched a horror movie.
The usual solutions are to target people unlikely to have a gun (teens, very young adults, people at a college or some other place unlikely to be packing, etc), have the villain unable to be stopped by bullets, or have the gun toting guy get killed first, usually by surprise.
Movies like Scream and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are probably the best arguments for the Second Amendment and gun ownership out there. Both villains would be dead within minutes or less, and they'd frankly look stupid instead of scary (especially Leatherface).
@@thunderbird1921 Texas Chainsaw Massacre actually took place during a time when gun ownership was more run of the mill than the politically charged stuff of today. Meanwhile, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween and Friday the 13th pretty much continue without a single adjustment even if all of the protagonists have guns.
...now i want a fully fleshed out 2-ish hour movie of this.

Difficult to do that if they've got two in the chest.

times have changed. our kids are getting worse...
This is what they've been waiting and preparing for their whole life this exact situation is why they have guns
I thought the slasher villain was going to talk to congres about 'family rights' and widening its definition to the Fast and Furious one.
When I a kid, my dad tried to scare me and my mom with a Jason mask and a fake chainsaw. I ran off and came back with a kitchen knife. Naturally, my parents freaked out and took it from me. But apparently, even then I didn’t fk around. 30 years later, if Ghost-face breaks into my house, I’m not calling the cops.
Someone should make a fake horror movie. Like the trailer should play scary music and show the killer, but in the actual movie, he gets smoked by a civilian gun owner in the first 10 minutes, and the rest of the movie is just the guy's self-defense trial.
4:24 This is your reminder that this sort of rhetoric isn't actually that unrealistic (but still completely unreasonable). As it stands now, if someone breaks into your home, burglarizes you, and harms themselves on something in your home considered dangerous or negligent placement, the home invader can literally sue you in some places of the world and win, as has already happened.
Dead men tell no tales...
@@crowe6961 Ah yes, trying to promote moral values by justifying cold murder… Great human being over there.
@@kingol4801Oh yeah, wouldn't want to kill the guy who broke into my house to try and MURDER me, that just isn't right.
_"IS THAT JUSTICE?"_
*"No.!"*
*"I'd of got him 10k"*
Literal Brazil. And I guarantee you it's worse than just accidentally hurt himself on a "recklessly placed Houseware". I'm talking about having lethal force applied on them by the owner when they try to R his wife and take stuff with themselves. It happens on a daily basis here that if you react in self defense or defense of another and hurts them, you're the one that's going to come out worse of it and spend more time on J. Let that sink in
And this is so much better after the next video.
This guy’s a genius
YES IT IS can't believe watching a video second time would be funnier than the first one
and like I was liking the first one a lot, it's incredible
wait wtf this was the sequel to the other video sheeeesh
I love how the gun owner was so calm
Slasher Villain: >breaks into my home<
The steel core 7.62 MG-3 at the top of the stairs: "Auf nicht wiedersehen. :)"
I thought the "I have a family" joke was gonna be that he has someone else's family (kidnapped)
When the villain was the one calling 911, I was like bruh
Day 1 of pitching "When your roommate know the consequences of summoning a demon and still does it."
I think the one with the if veterans were in horror movies had that.
-"You're not a black belt are you?"
"No, but I have a gun."
-"............ well put it down and fight me like a man."
I was expecting him to say “put away the knife then we can talk” and when he comes out without the knife the gun guy pulls out his gun and shoots him anyways lmao
