Gun rights should stand alongside gun competency, gun safety. Gun rights never seems to focus on safely handling guns, it's almost exclusively about having or taking away guns
Because there are ignorant fuckers out here trying to force us all to live in a disarmed society at the same time as an oligarchic cabal is redistributing wealth upwards from the bottom.
Gun rights HAVE to focus on about having or taking away guns. Because competency and safety are the anti 2a weapons to take away or limit firearms. They dont stop wanting to make things more safer or more competent and thus ban firearms based on those critetia even tho it wasnt the firearms fault but the person behind it
Because most people who legally own firearms are safe and competent. Moreover, there are classes that you can take on the basics of firearms ownership that are offered by qualified instructors. The argument has never been about safety or competency, it's always been whether or not you have the fundamental right own firearms which one side is for and the other is against. And honestly, if we want to introduce gun safety education, make it a class everyone can take in high school or subsidize classes so that everyone can take them for free.
Gun safety is a citizens responsibility, more specifically the parent’s responsibility. The government should not be allowed to decide who is or is not “safe” or “competent” because the metrics to do that are either subjective or will become irrelevant over time as it gets changed and either dumbed down or made harder state to state. You see it with the current carry license debacle throughout the states now even after the Bruen decision. In Florida, I got my carry license because I had a hunter safety card from when I was a teen. In Cali, I’d have better luck bribing the sheriff than actually getting approved based on merit or skill. Give a state a tool to discriminate against its population and it will use that tool.
Came to say the same thing. They have the most problems with them and the least control on them, mind boggling that is remotely controversial after everything that has happened there.
@@andrewolesen8773 we're living with millions of people brainwashed by isolated fundamentalist cultures and that map happens to line up almost perfectly with swing states that decide our electionz. Throw in almost 30 years of modern propaganda with things like Fox news and a powerful gun lobby and you get enough people to cause a deadlock for any change in the system. We could try and fix the electoral college and make things a direct democracy, we just have to current use the broken system to do so....and that's the tricky part.
Both Matt and Trey are avid outdoorsmen. All that camping and fishing they do out in Colorado wilderness, I guarantee they’re armed. As silly as those two can seem to be they take their fishing and hiking seriously.
@@someOldBaldguy being pro gun and pro gun control are not mutually exclusive, you can be an avid outdoorsman and still think maybe it's a bad idea to let violent offenders buy weapons that allow them to be more-violent offenders without precaution
@@Ytinasniiable I don’t know where in my comment I gave you the idea I’m okay with violent offenders having guns. I was just pointing out their lifestyle/hobbies almost requires you to be armed. Also, violent offenders aren’t buying guns from your local gun store. They’re buying them from other criminals. Maybe we shouldn’t let violent offenders back on the street so they can find these illegal guns. Maybe we need to enforce the laws we already have in place instead of being so soft on crime. Crazy how the states with the strictest gun laws have the largest amount of shootings…
@@someOldBaldguy I wasn't trying to argue, just adding that being a gun owner doesn't always make someone against gun control using the most obvious example of common sense gun control And actually most violent gun crimes are domestic in nature using legally purchased firearms The big extreme examples are usually grey market or outright illegal. Sorry if you sensed any hostility
@@Ytinasniiable you do know violent offenders aren't allowed to buy guns right unless they're buying them off the street illegally anyway which no gun control would stop
A polite society because people are pointing guns at each other? That's kinda the joke but leave it to a gun nut to see that and think it's vindication
@@Joel_Robertsto be fair historians do claim that the Wild West wasn’t as “wild” as we believe it was. Shootings and death were actually really rare. Getting shot back or hung in town square is a pretty good deterrent for most people, who knew. lol
Guns were by and large not allowed in towns they were to be handed in and held securely by the sheriff. Hollywood has skewed our perspective of that entire period of time.
I mean the problem is that no one is willing to compromise even when we have a dialog. It's always pro this or anti that. Never a middle ground. I mean how can people not at least agree on stricter regulation? I mean there's even that gun show loophole thing. That's insane. You can also do like Australia and offer to buy people's guns and then destroy them. Finland has loads of guns and they rarely shoot at eachother because they have good firearm regulation laws (and things like social welfare, housing etc.)
There’s no loophole in gun shows. You have to fill out ATF forms. And any regulation is an infringement of the 2nd. Where it says shall not be infringed
I too enjoy having freedoms and not having them taken away from me. For example, the freedom to not worry that any random person around me could be carrying something that can instantly end my life.
I dunno. I think it's neutral on guns. It's against violence and telling 2A advocates to calm down. It also was making fun of the belief that stopping people from getting guns is easy.
@@LegendStormcrow it's easy to stop people who follow the law from getting guns it's impossible to stop criminals which only puts law-abiding citizens at risk because then criminals know hey no one is going to have a gun to stop me doing whatever I want which is why they target places where they know no one else is going to have a gun like schools or churches
That’s what a lot of people who owns guns thinks too… most of us don’t want to shoot everyone, but if my life or my family’s life is in danger, I will defend them
What about when I want to target shoot or hunt or shoot in the Olympics or work on guns or sell guns at a gun store? What about a place in my car or bag for personal protection or transport from place to place? What about at a shooting range?
@@Mr.-Mister-Esquire-Esq. And when did I ever say anything about any of those activities involving pointing the gun at other people? What part of target practice implies people are my target? I gave completely logical reasons a gun might be the right answer for a situation, dont call them silly just because you dont care about them. Also, don't tell me what to do I'm not soo stupid I don't already know the golden rule of guns... Don't point a gun at something you don't want to put a hole in.
My personal opinion is that while people should be able to own guns, there needs to be systems in place that try to help owners be mentally sound and responsible with them
Definitely a parody of various takes such the idea to solve school shootings by… giving teachers guns 😂 which is what they’re poking fun at. Overly simplistic idea to solve a complex issue.
I believe the gun control episode was speaking on how guns are useful but it shouldn’t be so normalized to the point where that episode happens (weird take but makes sense to me) edit: that plus it’s South Park
The reason hardly anybody actually fired a gun when everyone was at gun point was because if literally everyone has a gun, nobody can safely shoot with being shot.
the fact our society has mystified guns onto this wierd exotic taboo subject, our society doesn't take the time and effort to teach how treat these objects with the respect they deserve. in other countries like the swiss they teach their kids how to use firearms and the proper etiquette to safely to use them. in America you can own firearms but you really have to go out of your way to learn all the proper rules of safety and etiquette. this when combined with the larger issue that all men are drawn to a warrior culture in some way or another, if they are not taught properly they will be drawn to the most violent crazed savaged people currently in their society to emulate. when young man are growing up they have to be taught to be warrior poets who have honor, who have excellent self control, and are good thinkers. its the same mentality taught by good martial instructors. its better to know/have it and never use it, then to need it and not know/have it.
Personally I think to get guns ,you should be forced to take a first aid course,a course of gun safety and maintanence and a legal course about self defence or paying for damages.. Gun wouldnt be that controlled ,but also not given just to anyone. Only gun of 3-5 rounds for self defence to the less able and fully automatic minguns to people who actually know safety and what to do when things go wrong
@@FrostyGerardo-kr7xs but those classes should also be part of high school curricula. If we’re gonna predicate the ability to exercise a right on proving you can do so responsibly, which we should, any education required should be paid for by tax dollars and taught in school.
@@VisonsofFalseTruths Yes. I was thinking they should be Home economics... First Aid, taxes,basic legal laws,self defence laws,cooking,gun use,mental health..... Things families need and people use when living alone. That way everyone gets a gun ,we stop economic scams , we make kids less weak and teach something usefull. And the kids finally learn taxes and that guns don't kill people. Bad people,kill people
Ngl seeing that episode only reconfirmed my view of merika being a wild west we get to watch from far away from the very side line and go those silly American people at it again 🙂↔️
I shot a gun for the first time the other day. There's a surge of feeling of power with one in your hand. It's similar to the one you get when you get behind the wheel of a powerful car, but if the latter is a feeling of "I can do such fat powerslides", the gun gives a feeling of "I can win so many arguments". Not liking it.
That Steven Seagal bit had me giggling. The once so over manly action man crying on stage because someone pointed out he had gained a few pounds over the years. Could you imagine this happening realtime? Yeah, me neither
The problem is the gun crisis is too broad. They include gang violence with every day interactions, they include suicides into the equation as well. And the most gun violence happens in massive pop cities where the decrese in police funding has hit hardest due to protests.
I am pretty deep into gun culture, and I absolutely loved this episode. Even gun people don't like gun shows, and watching them satirize it was absolutely hilarious. In my opinion, this episode came down as gun neutral. The cause of violence in society is ultimately unhappy or angry people. Taking away guns won't fix the problem, it will only disarm law abiding citizens. In this episode, guns didn't solve anything. It was just a tool to help people communicate. Guns are only a tool. They do what you tell them to do.
Fixing most modern countries really just boils down to austerity, but it won't ever get fixed because greedy people control and manipulate stupid people and apparently we've got those in abundance so we'll never progress where it matters, we'll only ever feed the machine.
look up the song "Gun " by Gil Scott-Heron.. it the same message as in that south park episode.. every one wants a gun "needs a gun".. and "the only philosophy that i can see is you give yours and i will give up mine..."
This guy also claimed "South Park doesn't pick sides" while showing a quote from the creators that clearly picks a side, and ignoring the entirety of "South Park Republicans" existing. This is just a surface level video.
@@EZOnTheEyes ah yes that one sided quote of "I hate conservatives but I really hate liberals"... And the video did mention South Park Republicans? Pretty sure the whole point was that they represent a group of people who vote republican but hold socially liberal values, which means they land closer to the centre
The anti-Trump stuff was mostly in season 20 not 19. They did one Trump episode and moved on, which is exactly what the creators said about the episode in the season 19 commentary
They might have been making fun of not just Trump, but the public perception of Trump. The guy is larger than life and half the time he's either taken out of context or lied about. That lack of accountability with one side allowed MAGA to decry any and all criticism as lies, going as far as treating him as a demigod and taking his views as gospel.
It's obvious about common sense gun laws which is the moderate and mostly libral view. Kids should not be able to get guns and teaches should not have guns in schools is what they are saying.
this is part of the reason the US has the 2nd amendment, and why my country is moving closer to more guns not less. guns are mere tools who most will use to defend themselves against attacks, when you know the chance is high that anyone can shoot you don't randomly shoot people becoming public enemy number 1 in the process, in addition if you do get attacked by someone who doesn't give a fuck, you have the perfect solution to prevent your death and stand up to the aggressor. "an armed society is a polite society" "fight against tyrannical forces that attempt to harm you both foreign and domestic" these types of shit.
I honestly think that South Park needs to bring back Principal Victoria after she falsely got fired. PC Principal was just not as good. I believe that he is an overstayed character for far too long. I get that this whole SJW thing has gone far too long. They should have brought back Principal Victoria as principal again. She is much better then PC Principal. After almost 10 years we are stuck with PC Culture. I'm just tired of it. In my opinion I feel people need to be more tolerant and open-minded to other people and ourselves without an authoritarian PC Culture or censorship.
Honestly, take a note from Switzerland, everybody in their mother owns a gun, and as a lot of people say: an armed society is a polite society…. Still a shame that we HAVE actually became so divided that people won’t listen unless they got a gun pointed at their head…
I mean, have we ever really changed? We still have wars of conquest (some of which I, an American, fund indirectly). We still have crimes against humanity. We still have dictators and tyrants. I mean, we aren't a century seperated from WW2 and the Cold war. Outside of technology, what really seperates us from the generations before us?
Japan is hard on gun control and they don't have that much problem too. But yeah the problem isn't gun, it is people and the society we are living in. Personally, i think we should restrict a bit more guns and give to people that are sane enough.
@@mongeneral05 your a little confused but you got the spirit fam. More gun restrictions don’t help. We need to be like Switzerland where we have everyone owning guns who are capable of owning one. If everyone is armed, no one is willing to fuck around.
I mean, have we ever really changed? There are countries practicing the art of conquest happening right now (Russia). There are parts of Africa where that word that rhymes with avery happening right now. There are countries that put people in camps. Do I even need to explain North Korea? Outside of technology, what really separates us from the generations before us?
i love when people use the "take a note from switzerland" because it showcases you people really know fuck all about the subject or country in question you claim to want to emulate. if you emulated them, you people would be the first to call fowl and say its Anti gun, anti 2A. because you guys only see the "they all own guns" and run with it and never recognise the inconveniant fact, they do only for those who have gone through background checks and safety courses, if you dont, then you dont get to possess a firearm, also their only allowed to bring their weapons out on fire ranges, and must keep weapon and ammo seperate at all times except when on the range. for all you "an armed society is a polite society" you all clearly have very little understanding of how the rest of the world works because youre stuck in youre american bubble. Switzerland is far FAR more regulated on the matter of guns then many of you want, and those are the same policies, the gun control crowd have been calling for. in a few cases, the switz are even more hawkish on gun control then even american gun control advocates. The Switz actually respect gun for what they are, Dangerous Tools, unlike Americans who treat them like Toys. the Switz example is 100% NOT in the pro gun's favor, its if anything middle ground if not more in support of the gun control sides favor.
I don't know if it's cause Im not an american. But you would have to be an absolute moron to look at this episode, see children pointing guns at their parents and parents pointing guns back, and don't immediately realize that its a critique of the insane gun culture in America. I mean, when the characters look at their gun like It is solving the problem, that's the whole joke.
About the only opinion I have on guns is stronger background checks. Guns shouldn’t be restricted to the average person, but the fact that almost(keyword almost) all mass shootings of the past 2 decades have been made with legally procured guns certainly is a problem. And a lot of the people committing these atrocities are not mentally well or entitled dicks who decide to vent by killing others. And those are the people who shouldn’t be allowed to buy rifles with no problems. And I say this as someone who was raised in gun culture, have taken several classes, and gone to ranges more times than I can remember.
I feel like part of the issue is we teach people that guns are weapons to kill rather than how to respect them as tools for sport, self defense, and hunting. Maybe it's the way I was brought up but your mind initially going to guns to use as weapons isn't good much like looking at a knife and thinking "I could stab someone!"
America's gun culture is insane. I wish people would stop trying to act like shows need to agree with their every political ideology and just enjoy the show. Even in these comments people are arguing about the creators' political leanings, as if they enjoy the show and feel "well, they must think the same as me about everything then" Matt and Trey are hilarious, thats all the matters. Whatever politics they subscribe too doesnt matter because theyre clearly intelligent enough to see the humor and idiocy on both sides. I think America's obsession with the polarization of a 2 party system pla adds to this problem quite a bit
The episode seemed to satirize gun culture while acknowledging guns were sometimes necessary. In truth I think it was just a bit of a sloppy episode ending what was generally a good season.
"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary" -The Father of Communism, Karl Marx.
I think they really hit the nail on the head with that episode. I honestly wish there will come a time where things like weapons will be a thing of the past. In fact I wish magic could be real and all weapons that humans would use to hurt each other with including firearms and all other weapons could disappear instantly and simultaneously, butI don't believe magic is real and I find it sad that such a wish could not come true. But like Matt and Trey, I am also best described as a Centrist libertarian, and I am wholly disgusted with the political discourse in this country because there really isn't any, it's just war between competing ideologies, and everybody is out to alienate each other's rights and I'm sick of it because too many good people are being hurt because of the misunderstandings each side has of the other and nobody really wants to listen to each other but rather shout at each other over disagreements. I believe that good people should not be restricted to have firearms or have any particular type of firearm if that is what they want to do, but I also believe everybody should have the right to their own bodily autonomy including having an abortion, and people make me sick when they become a loud mouth or pass laws when they say one right should be upheld while the others should be suppressed but everybody on both sides wants to claim they are trying to save lives, when at the same time when any of these restrictions are put into place, lots of innocent good-hearted people get hurt in the process when they try to exercise these things. It's when a person without a criminal record gets put in prison for 10 or more years for having possession of an AR-15, or when a doctor or a patient who goes through with getting an abortion to improve the life of a woman faces a life sentence, and all of these things because of partisan state laws on these issues, this is what is really pissing me off about the direction this country is going because the lives of good people are being destroyed by the government over the division of these controversial subjects. I look at all of this and all I see is a bunch of double standard hypocrisy. And it especially does not look good for anti-gun politicians who get protection by people with AR-15s who don't want civilians having them, and anti-abortion politicians who are found to have had abortions done in the past when it suited their interests. It's nothing but a freaking clown show these days. Just a bunch of hypocrites who tell us do what I say but not what I do.
I remember like when the show first started… i swear there was a trailer/episode about guns … i haven’t seen it again … it feels like a mandela effect …
10:58 That reminds me of the scroty mcburger balls episode, everyone takes their own opinion and views from the content that they are reading or watching or experiencing, Even if that wasn't the purpose of it.
I still don’t even necessarily see it as anti gun but more so anti attitude with guns, people have lost the intent of guns as a tool and lack education and moral and responsibility. I am pro gun if you know how to fucking use one and honestly do the majority of us can’t handle them then maybe we shouldn’t have them so easily. We have to take a class to go hunting or drive a car classes for gun safety and responsibility shouldn’t just be optional
Maybe it’s pro gun because if you think about it, they always pull out guns but nobody ever uses them or fires a shot. This could represent that a gun is only as dangerous as the mind of the people holding it
I mean sure, but why make it even more accessible then it already is? Seems like the excuse of self defense easily falls when the need to defend is created by that argument
I think it's stupid that guns are even a political thing. Before reading this, I should mention I'm biased towards being pro-2nd amendment, and would like anyone that is and isn't pro-gun to at least understand my point. In places like California, New York, or Washington they typically make laws against guns with a goal in trying to fight gun violence, but realistically they just make overnight criminals out of gun owners. Imagine being a gun owner and having knowledge of specific laws that you follow to a T, then suddenly a new laws sneaks up on you and now you're considered a felon because you can't do X, Y, or Z things. As someone in a state that has major gun laws, this is a constant thing to consider every day for the rest of my life as far as I can see. Having people around me that knows the constant concern with gun laws sneaking up on us, we are stuck trying to be more and more on top of possible gun laws that can ruin our lives overnight. In my eyes, it's why there is community and culture to guns because it's something constantly being threatened. I hate people that make a big deal on guns and don't know anything about how guns work and I wish people would be taught more on guns so they can form stronger more factual opinions on them. Then more citizens can see how important it is to pay attention to gun rights, since it's something that is always such a large debate; it's just something that isn't a big deal to people that don't care about guns or own one, until it's something relevant to them in some way. Just pay attention to your local political agendas to help keep your freedoms and rights as citizens, because every single person counts to help stop our governments from taking advantage of us in some form. Especially since gun laws are such a big topic politically, careful wordage can make someone without knowledge on [INSTERT TOPIC], suddenly become anti-[INSTER TOPIC]. Stay up to day on the things you care about, and make sure your opinion is heard. It'll be too late for me if a specific law passes in my city, where I'll systematically lose my right to own guns; don't let yourself be stuck in a situation like me, where you may have to give up a hobby that is also a right. Thank You.
I dont get the logic of guns being related to freedom. Is it freedom that you live in feat that you might get attacked at any moment? Is it freedom knowing that you could easily take someone’s life, and often make a miscalculation of the situation and by that killing someone innocent? If anything, owning guns in one of the most unstable countries in the Western world is the opposite of

@@someOldBaldguy I wasn't trying to argue, just adding that being a gun owner doesn't always make someone against gun control using the most obvious example of common sense gun control
And actually most violent gun crimes are domestic in nature using legally purchased firearms
The big extreme examples are usually grey market or outright illegal.
Sorry if you sensed any hostility

@@Ytinasniiable you do know violent offenders aren't allowed to buy guns right unless they're buying them off the street illegally anyway which no gun control would stop
There take on guns- an armed society is a polite society.
A polite society because people are pointing guns at each other? That's kinda the joke but leave it to a gun nut to see that and think it's vindication
Just like the wild west
@@Joel_Robertsto be fair historians do claim that the Wild West wasn’t as “wild” as we believe it was. Shootings and death were actually really rare. Getting shot back or hung in town square is a pretty good deterrent for most people, who knew. lol
Guns were by and large not allowed in towns they were to be handed in and held securely by the sheriff. Hollywood has skewed our perspective of that entire period of time.
America is an armed society, are you under the delusion America is a polite society? The country of “fuck you, I got mine?”
I mean the problem is that no one is willing to compromise even when we have a dialog. It's always pro this or anti that. Never a middle ground. I mean how can people not at least agree on stricter regulation? I mean there's even that gun show loophole thing. That's insane. You can also do like Australia and offer to buy people's guns and then destroy them. Finland has loads of guns and they rarely shoot at eachother because they have good firearm regulation laws (and things like social welfare, housing etc.)
There’s no loophole in gun shows. You have to fill out ATF forms.
And any regulation is an infringement of the 2nd. Where it says shall not be infringed

I too enjoy having freedoms and not having them taken away from me.
For example, the freedom to not worry that any random person around me could be carrying something that can instantly end my life.
but if no one had guns you wouldn’t need to protect yourself so u need to just get rid of them honestly america is an absolute ridiculous place
I dunno. I think it's neutral on guns. It's against violence and telling 2A advocates to calm down. It also was making fun of the belief that stopping people from getting guns is easy.
@@LegendStormcrow it's easy to stop people who follow the law from getting guns it's impossible to stop criminals which only puts law-abiding citizens at risk because then criminals know hey no one is going to have a gun to stop me doing whatever I want which is why they target places where they know no one else is going to have a gun like schools or churches
The only reason 2A advocates are angry is because of shit like california compliance gaining traction.
Stopping people from getting guns is easy in Europe. It's impossible in murica, because for years people were given guns like candy.
02:58 "and they called me Steven Sa boom boom" lmfao 😂😂😂
I think that line from Jimmy might have summed up their opinion on guns. Unless your life is in danger, guns are NOT the answer.
That’s what a lot of people who owns guns thinks too… most of us don’t want to shoot everyone, but if my life or my family’s life is in danger, I will defend them
And when your life is in danger, better be stappin.
What about when I want to target shoot or hunt or shoot in the Olympics or work on guns or sell guns at a gun store? What about a place in my car or bag for personal protection or transport from place to place? What about at a shooting range?
@@bobhopman4648then do so, just don't pull one out against a person unless your life is actually in danger.
This is a silly argument
@@Mr.-Mister-Esquire-Esq. And when did I ever say anything about any of those activities involving pointing the gun at other people? What part of target practice implies people are my target? I gave completely logical reasons a gun might be the right answer for a situation, dont call them silly just because you dont care about them. Also, don't tell me what to do I'm not soo stupid I don't already know the golden rule of guns... Don't point a gun at something you don't want to put a hole in.
My personal opinion is that while people should be able to own guns, there needs to be systems in place that try to help owners be mentally sound and responsible with them
Definitely a parody of various takes such the idea to solve school shootings by… giving teachers guns 😂 which is what they’re poking fun at. Overly simplistic idea to solve a complex issue.
fun fact at 3:20 this is quoted in eminem's new album
I'm more surprised anyone listened to it.
@@tynrova9639lol what Eminem album would go unlistened?
I believe the gun control episode was speaking on how guns are useful but it shouldn’t be so normalized to the point where that episode happens (weird take but makes sense to me) edit: that plus it’s South Park
If you need a driver's license to drive a car you should also need a gun license to own/carry a gun.
The reason hardly anybody actually fired a gun when everyone was at gun point was because if literally everyone has a gun, nobody can safely shoot with being shot.
Butters looking rough in that skull halo. My dad had one when broke his neck.
That whole season is like a documentary. And there are still people thinking "its not happening"
3:20 Eminem quotes this in his new album
„Mom shaming, dad shaming, yeah
Fat shaming, man-splaining, blah“ 🗣️🔥
the fact our society has mystified guns onto this wierd exotic taboo subject, our society doesn't take the time and effort to teach how treat these objects with the respect they deserve. in other countries like the swiss they teach their kids how to use firearms and the proper etiquette to safely to use them.
in America you can own firearms but you really have to go out of your way to learn all the proper rules of safety and etiquette. this when combined with the larger issue that all men are drawn to a warrior culture in some way or another, if they are not taught properly they will be drawn to the most violent crazed savaged people currently in their society to emulate. when young man are growing up they have to be taught to be warrior poets who have honor, who have excellent self control, and are good thinkers. its the same mentality taught by good martial instructors. its better to know/have it and never use it, then to need it and not know/have it.
Personally I think to get guns ,you should be forced to take a first aid course,a course of gun safety and maintanence and a legal course about self defence or paying for damages.. Gun wouldnt be that controlled ,but also not given just to anyone. Only gun of 3-5 rounds for self defence to the less able and fully automatic minguns to people who actually know safety and what to do when things go wrong
american moment
@@FrostyGerardo-kr7xs but those classes should also be part of high school curricula. If we’re gonna predicate the ability to exercise a right on proving you can do so responsibly, which we should, any education required should be paid for by tax dollars and taught in school.
@@VisonsofFalseTruths Yes. I was thinking they should be Home economics... First Aid, taxes,basic legal laws,self defence laws,cooking,gun use,mental health..... Things families need and people use when living alone. That way everyone gets a gun ,we stop economic scams , we make kids less weak and teach something usefull. And the kids finally learn taxes and that guns don't kill people. Bad people,kill people
I’m against all PC in South Park
Ngl seeing that episode only reconfirmed my view of merika being a wild west we get to watch from far away from the very side line and go those silly American people at it again 🙂↔️
I’m glad I live in Australia with gun control
People will forever rediscover south park episodes lol
The reason we have the right to bear arms is so people can protect themselves from anyone trying to attack them.
Ive watched like 4 episodes of sp and im OBSESSED with this type of video. I never knew how good sp was too
My dad taught me about guns, I personally own a 1911, but the discussion about who should be able to own one is definitely important.
I shot a gun for the first time the other day. There's a surge of feeling of power with one in your hand. It's similar to the one you get when you get behind the wheel of a powerful car, but if the latter is a feeling of "I can do such fat powerslides", the gun gives a feeling of "I can win so many arguments". Not liking it.
That Steven Seagal bit had me giggling. The once so over manly action man crying on stage because someone pointed out he had gained a few pounds over the years. Could you imagine this happening realtime? Yeah, me neither
Ahh mutuality assured destruction gotta love it
The problem is the gun crisis is too broad. They include gang violence with every day interactions, they include suicides into the equation as well. And the most gun violence happens in massive pop cities where the decrese in police funding has hit hardest due to protests.
Yup around democratic cities is where most of the violence happens but that would actually lead them to not blame white republicans.
By the way, although i love them video essays are literally what scrotie mcboogerballs was talking about the whole episode 😂
They can satirise the idea and simultaneously approve of it in a way, like most notably mormonism
Man Southpark just keeps aging like wine.
It's impressive
I am pretty deep into gun culture, and I absolutely loved this episode. Even gun people don't like gun shows, and watching them satirize it was absolutely hilarious. In my opinion, this episode came down as gun neutral.
The cause of violence in society is ultimately unhappy or angry people. Taking away guns won't fix the problem, it will only disarm law abiding citizens.
In this episode, guns didn't solve anything. It was just a tool to help people communicate.
Guns are only a tool. They do what you tell them to do.
Fixing most modern countries really just boils down to austerity, but it won't ever get fixed because greedy people control and manipulate stupid people and apparently we've got those in abundance so we'll never progress where it matters, we'll only ever feed the machine.
I just subscribed because the honesty in the Intro. I have such a hate for the new Metta ways of life
look up the song "Gun " by Gil Scott-Heron.. it the same message as in that south park episode.. every one wants a gun "needs a gun".. and "the only philosophy that i can see is you give yours and i will give up mine..."
So South Park says that guns make people listen to us?! In that case I’m heading to my local Walmart real quick! (I AM BEING SARCASTIC!!!)
I think the point was to be vague enough to start a debate without openly declaring a winner
Fav part of this episode is Carmen's mom pulling out the gun on him, never heard him take her so seriously the entire series😂😂
You have very good break downs and articulation, great video 👌
Gunlaw is the question how well armed the victim is.
Ignoreing all the anti conservative anti trump garrison shenanigans is a wild way to disect season 19
This guy also claimed "South Park doesn't pick sides" while showing a quote from the creators that clearly picks a side, and ignoring the entirety of "South Park Republicans" existing. This is just a surface level video.
@@EZOnTheEyes ah yes that one sided quote of "I hate conservatives but I really hate liberals"... And the video did mention South Park Republicans? Pretty sure the whole point was that they represent a group of people who vote republican but hold socially liberal values, which means they land closer to the centre
The anti-Trump stuff was mostly in season 20 not 19. They did one Trump episode and moved on, which is exactly what the creators said about the episode in the season 19 commentary
They might have been making fun of not just Trump, but the public perception of Trump. The guy is larger than life and half the time he's either taken out of context or lied about. That lack of accountability with one side allowed MAGA to decry any and all criticism as lies, going as far as treating him as a demigod and taking his views as gospel.
Cuz that was the main point of Szn 20 why mention it when it’s a minor part of this season
It's obvious about common sense gun laws which is the moderate and mostly libral view. Kids should not be able to get guns and teaches should not have guns in schools is what they are saying.
This episode was really fucking funny ngl
Gun control is proper grip, foot placement, and breathing
Guns are bad, M'kay? And if you use guns that makes you bad, M'kay? M'kay.
this is part of the reason the US has the 2nd amendment, and why my country is moving closer to more guns not less.
guns are mere tools who most will use to defend themselves against attacks, when you know the chance is high that anyone can shoot you don't randomly shoot people becoming public enemy number 1 in the process, in addition if you do get attacked by someone who doesn't give a fuck, you have the perfect solution to prevent your death and stand up to the aggressor.
"an armed society is a polite society" "fight against tyrannical forces that attempt to harm you both foreign and domestic" these types of shit.
I honestly think that South Park needs to bring back Principal Victoria after she falsely got fired. PC Principal was just not as good. I believe that he is an overstayed character for far too long. I get that this whole SJW thing has gone far too long. They should have brought back Principal Victoria as principal again. She is much better then PC Principal. After almost 10 years we are stuck with PC Culture. I'm just tired of it. In my opinion I feel people need to be more tolerant and open-minded to other people and ourselves without an authoritarian PC Culture or censorship.
Guns helped the South Park families communicate better.
Honestly, take a note from Switzerland, everybody in their mother owns a gun, and as a lot of people say: an armed society is a polite society…. Still a shame that we HAVE actually became so divided that people won’t listen unless they got a gun pointed at their head…
I mean, have we ever really changed?
We still have wars of conquest (some of which I, an American, fund indirectly). We still have crimes against humanity. We still have dictators and tyrants. I mean, we aren't a century seperated from WW2 and the Cold war.
Outside of technology, what really seperates us from the generations before us?
Japan is hard on gun control and they don't have that much problem too.
But yeah the problem isn't gun, it is people and the society we are living in.
Personally, i think we should restrict a bit more guns and give to people that are sane enough.
@@mongeneral05 your a little confused but you got the spirit fam. More gun restrictions don’t help. We need to be like Switzerland where we have everyone owning guns who are capable of owning one. If everyone is armed, no one is willing to fuck around.
I mean, have we ever really changed?
There are countries practicing the art of conquest happening right now (Russia). There are parts of Africa where that word that rhymes with avery happening right now. There are countries that put people in camps. Do I even need to explain North Korea?
Outside of technology, what really separates us from the generations before us?
i love when people use the "take a note from switzerland"
because it showcases you people really know fuck all about the subject or country in question you claim to want to emulate.
if you emulated them, you people would be the first to call fowl and say its Anti gun, anti 2A.
because you guys only see the "they all own guns" and run with it and never recognise the inconveniant fact, they do only for those who have gone through background checks and safety courses, if you dont, then you dont get to possess a firearm, also their only allowed to bring their weapons out on fire ranges, and must keep weapon and ammo seperate at all times except when on the range.
for all you "an armed society is a polite society" you all clearly have very little understanding of how the rest of the world works because youre stuck in youre american bubble.
Switzerland is far FAR more regulated on the matter of guns then many of you want, and those are the same policies, the gun control crowd have been calling for. in a few cases, the switz are even more hawkish on gun control then even american gun control advocates.
The Switz actually respect gun for what they are, Dangerous Tools, unlike Americans who treat them like Toys. the Switz example is 100% NOT in the pro gun's favor, its if anything middle ground if not more in support of the gun control sides favor.
I don't know if it's cause Im not an american. But you would have to be an absolute moron to look at this episode, see children pointing guns at their parents and parents pointing guns back, and don't immediately realize that its a critique of the insane gun culture in America.
I mean, when the characters look at their gun like It is solving the problem, that's the whole joke.
Guns aren't the end all be all. They're a tool. When properly used, they are amazing. When improperly used, it leads to disasters.
About the only opinion I have on guns is stronger background checks. Guns shouldn’t be restricted to the average person, but the fact that almost(keyword almost) all mass shootings of the past 2 decades have been made with legally procured guns certainly is a problem. And a lot of the people committing these atrocities are not mentally well or entitled dicks who decide to vent by killing others. And those are the people who shouldn’t be allowed to buy rifles with no problems. And I say this as someone who was raised in gun culture, have taken several classes, and gone to ranges more times than I can remember.
Firearms are tools. Nothing more. Nothing less.
I feel like part of the issue is we teach people that guns are weapons to kill rather than how to respect them as tools for sport, self defense, and hunting. Maybe it's the way I was brought up but your mind initially going to guns to use as weapons isn't good much like looking at a knife and thinking "I could stab someone!"
Hell yeah, call the drummer for advice.
America's gun culture is insane. I wish people would stop trying to act like shows need to agree with their every political ideology and just enjoy the show. Even in these comments people are arguing about the creators' political leanings, as if they enjoy the show and feel "well, they must think the same as me about everything then"
Matt and Trey are hilarious, thats all the matters. Whatever politics they subscribe too doesnt matter because theyre clearly intelligent enough to see the humor and idiocy on both sides. I think America's obsession with the polarization of a 2 party system pla adds to this problem quite a bit
Guns as a metaphor and not literal was the point of that episode
2:14 Isshinryu karate emblem patch 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
The episode seemed to satirize gun culture while acknowledging guns were sometimes necessary. In truth I think it was just a bit of a sloppy episode ending what was generally a good season.
Great video bro subbed! ❤
School shewtings are as much about gns as school shtabbings are about knives. Why do people not get that?
Definitely not true, guns are way more dangerous + knife control would be stupid because knives are actual tools

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary"
-The Father of Communism, Karl Marx.
I think they really hit the nail on the head with that episode. I honestly wish there will come a time where things like weapons will be a thing of the past. In fact I wish magic could be real and all weapons that humans would use to hurt each other with including firearms and all other weapons could disappear instantly and simultaneously, butI don't believe magic is real and I find it sad that such a wish could not come true.
But like Matt and Trey, I am also best described as a Centrist libertarian, and I am wholly disgusted with the political discourse in this country because there really isn't any, it's just war between competing ideologies, and everybody is out to alienate each other's rights and I'm sick of it because too many good people are being hurt because of the misunderstandings each side has of the other and nobody really wants to listen to each other but rather shout at each other over disagreements.
I believe that good people should not be restricted to have firearms or have any particular type of firearm if that is what they want to do, but I also believe everybody should have the right to their own bodily autonomy including having an abortion, and people make me sick when they become a loud mouth or pass laws when they say one right should be upheld while the others should be suppressed but everybody on both sides wants to claim they are trying to save lives, when at the same time when any of these restrictions are put into place, lots of innocent good-hearted people get hurt in the process when they try to exercise these things. It's when a person without a criminal record gets put in prison for 10 or more years for having possession of an AR-15, or when a doctor or a patient who goes through with getting an abortion to improve the life of a woman faces a life sentence, and all of these things because of partisan state laws on these issues, this is what is really pissing me off about the direction this country is going because the lives of good people are being destroyed by the government over the division of these controversial subjects. I look at all of this and all I see is a bunch of double standard hypocrisy. And it especially does not look good for anti-gun politicians who get protection by people with AR-15s who don't want civilians having them, and anti-abortion politicians who are found to have had abortions done in the past when it suited their interests. It's nothing but a freaking clown show these days. Just a bunch of hypocrites who tell us do what I say but not what I do.

I remember like when the show first started… i swear there was a trailer/episode about guns … i haven’t seen it again … it feels like a mandela effect …
You do gotta remember South Park is very good at poking fun at both sides. That might be why you see both pro and anti-gun themes in it.
10:58
That reminds me of the scroty mcburger balls episode, everyone takes their own opinion and views from the content that they are reading or watching or experiencing, Even if that wasn't the purpose of it.
I still don’t even necessarily see it as anti gun but more so anti attitude with guns, people have lost the intent of guns as a tool and lack education and moral and responsibility. I am pro gun if you know how to fucking use one and honestly do the majority of us can’t handle them then maybe we shouldn’t have them so easily. We have to take a class to go hunting or drive a car classes for gun safety and responsibility shouldn’t just be optional
i always thought this was more of a school shooting episode is there something specific i missed that makes it gun control exclusive?

I mean sure, but why make it even more accessible then it already is? Seems like the excuse of self defense easily falls when the need to defend is created by that argument
try and matt are not scare to change there stance on things either thats a other good thing about south park
I think it's stupid that guns are even a political thing.
Before reading this, I should mention I'm biased towards being pro-2nd amendment, and would like anyone that is and isn't pro-gun to at least understand my point.
In places like California, New York, or Washington they typically make laws against guns with a goal in trying to fight gun violence, but realistically they just make overnight criminals out of gun owners. Imagine being a gun owner and having knowledge of specific laws that you follow to a T, then suddenly a new laws sneaks up on you and now you're considered a felon because you can't do X, Y, or Z things. As someone in a state that has major gun laws, this is a constant thing to consider every day for the rest of my life as far as I can see. Having people around me that knows the constant concern with gun laws sneaking up on us, we are stuck trying to be more and more on top of possible gun laws that can ruin our lives overnight.
In my eyes, it's why there is community and culture to guns because it's something constantly being threatened. I hate people that make a big deal on guns and don't know anything about how guns work and I wish people would be taught more on guns so they can form stronger more factual opinions on them. Then more citizens can see how important it is to pay attention to gun rights, since it's something that is always such a large debate; it's just something that isn't a big deal to people that don't care about guns or own one, until it's something relevant to them in some way. Just pay attention to your local political agendas to help keep your freedoms and rights as citizens, because every single person counts to help stop our governments from taking advantage of us in some form. Especially since gun laws are such a big topic politically, careful wordage can make someone without knowledge on [INSTERT TOPIC], suddenly become anti-[INSTER TOPIC].
Stay up to day on the things you care about, and make sure your opinion is heard. It'll be too late for me if a specific law passes in my city, where I'll systematically lose my right to own guns; don't let yourself be stuck in a situation like me, where you may have to give up a hobby that is also a right.
Thank You.
They do take a side all the time. It's call being a libertarian.
4:28 is crazy 😂
I dont get the logic of guns being related to freedom. Is it freedom that you live in feat that you might get attacked at any moment? Is it freedom knowing that you could easily take someone’s life, and often make a miscalculation of the situation and by that killing someone innocent?
If anything, owning guns in one of the most unstable countries in the Western world is the opposite of
