    My wife used to be anti gun before she met me. She understands the importance of self defense now and is all about it. That being said, some if my in laws see it as me “corrupting her”. All I can respond with is “no, I’m making sure she had the means and ability to defend herself if it ever came to that. Would you rather her end up assaulted, robbed, and/or dead, or would you rather her be able to stop anyone who would wish her harm?”. She’s not a big girl, and we obviously work at two separate places. I want her to come home every night safe and in one piece. It’s sad that some people see that way of thinking as sick and twisted. It’s almost like I care about her well being more than half of her own family.

      100% correct. Just throw that in the healing pile of hypocrisy that is attached to 2A abolitionist. I wish all we had to do was re-educate our fellow citizens on our 2A Rights. I strongly believe that 80-90% of the people could be ardent supporters of the second amendment and our government representatives would still pursue a total ban on guns. They want powerless subjects. People like Bedo dream of a day where the citizens have no ability to meaningfully resist their tyranny. They are willing to say and do anything to make that happen. It’s never been more clear in my opinion. Politicians now shamelessly advocate for obstinate refusal of Supreme Court rulings. That ideology is impossible to debate and very tough to beat. They hold the power.

      The people, in Ukraine, who wanted to defend their Country, went to the Government and asked for a Weapon. They HAD to show PROOF that they were from Ukraine with Papers showing that they were in fact from Ukraine and they would get a Weapon after the Government had wrote the
      Serial Number for the weapon and they signed their name next to the serial number!
      There was a News Team at one place that were giving out Weapons to the Civilians. They asked, some of the people who were in line, if they had any Knowledge about how the weapons worked? Most of the people, said that they had An Idea of the workings but they weren’t sure how to Load it or how to get the Bullets into the Barrel so it would shoot!
      The reporter said that these people, had no idea on how the weapon worked! After getting a Brief Overview of the weapon the Government gave each person 3 or 4 magazines and showed them where they were to go? The reporter said, these people had NO CLUE about SAFETY and that they only pointed their weapon at the enemy!
      This Reporter said, at one of the areas where they were passing out Weapons, that one guy, shot everyone in the line, until it was empty! He told the Government that he didn’t know how to stop it from shooting!
      A reporter said, the First Month, more Ukrainians were killed by their own people, all because they didn’t know how to use the weapons that were given!

    Great talking points. I like to reference the case of Reno vs ACLU when someone mentions the 2A was not written for todays firearms. In that case the court decided that the 1st amendment applied to the internet as much as it applied to books and newspapers. On another note, few months ago while in San Diego for work, I overheard a group of younger people talking while I was out for dinner. One person said to the other group, I have a firearm and a license to carry. You have to jump through hoops but its better to have it and not need it. Made me smile to know even in such an anti gun state, people still want to be able to defend themselves.

    Unfortunately, I've experienced something a little different when the "Jekyll and Hyde" argument, as you call it, has been presented. These people (at least the one's I've encountered) actually believe that the trigger pulls the finger, rather than the other way around. I can only sum it up this way: I've never met anyone who's afraid of guns. I have, however, met a great number of people who are afraid of themselves. They genuinely believe that if they have the capacity to cause harm, they will be compelled to cause harm. They simply don't trust themselves with, what they perceive to be, that kind of power. They then project that instability on the rest of us.
    I agree with you, Mr. Ayoob, that they are in dyer need of psychiatric treatment. Where I disagree is our apparent respective perceptions of just how many of them there are.

    Mr Ayoob, I have a great respect for you and would like to preface my question with the comment that as a member of The Liberal Gun Club, I am indeed a reluctant gun owner (lots of crazy people out there).
    Here is my comment/question… I believe in the Second Amendment, just as I believe in all of the amendments to the constitution equally. However, we keep harping on the 2nd amendment, and we seem to gloss over one word: “REGULATED”. I have yet to hear anyone speak about this part of the amendment.
    I believe all of us have the right to protect ourselves and our families and now, unfortunately, protect others lives as well.
    I am getting fed up with the TH-cam channels such as USCCA, the NRA, etc pushing gun rights while condemning every Democrat for trying to change the laws. Why aren’t we allowing individual states to vote on these issues instead of assuming every gun owner believes the same thing (even Trump supported gun control measures-yup, look it up).
    I still don’t believe that someone needs thousands of rounds of ammunition along with AR-15’s and AK-47’s to protect their family and their home. I wonder if this is what the founding fathers were referring to when they used the phrase “well-regulated”.
    Anyhow, I’m sure I’ll get lots of hate here, but I genuinely want to know your thoughts on this confusing part of the second amendment.
    By the way, I love your teaching and always look forward to your TH-cam posts and lessons!

    Auzzie here. I was held up at gun/knife-point in armed robbery a while ago. I had nothing to defend myself with. I was completely helpless and at mercy against thes two assailants. The perpetrators surely didn't have any problems with the fact they had a firearm and knife, and they certainly made it clear they were going to blow my brains out, however didn't in the end. There weren't any police in close proximity to provide me with protection so you can throw that argument out the window. They were caught, charged with three offences, however served no jail time, again a slap on the wrist.
    I have learned two tale signs of purposeful collapse of society by the powers to be of a totalitarian government/elites;
    1. Take the peoples weapons/rights to defend themselves away.
    2. Enable crime.
    If anybody tells you that Australians are still permitted to defend themselves is clearly disconnected with who's side the justice system is backing.
    Never forget, God help us all.

    This video was just recommended to me today. The two inch barrel reply is hilarious, and the point about the other side only seeing victory in the death of the "bad guy" is very powerful. I have always avidly supported the right to keep and bear arms, but I am brand new to being one of those who will bear the arms in the form of a pistol. I am waiting for my background check to clear so I can hold a WCL in Georgia and make a purchase. As I ingest as much knowledge as possible in the interim, what has struck me repeatedly is the reiteration that I should use everything at my disposal to try NOT to use the weapon/tool that will be attached to my belt. That part does not get much airtime. Mr. Ayoob, thank you for being a guiding light and a constant presence in the fight for what is right.
