Some of you probably know about the shooting that happened on live TV today; most of you will know before long. With YouTube videos of it plastered everywhere, and due to my curiosity, I clicked on one. My thoughts are with the families of the innocent lives that were taken.
The focus of this post is not about the video itself though. I made the mistake of looking through the comments for the video. It seems the vast majority of the comments I saw for the particular video I watched were anti gun comments. It's not just this video either, just about any YouTube video depicting guns being used in a violent fashion has anti gun comments. Most are along the lines of calling America the "Wild West", calling our gun laws "antiquated", and calling this country a backwards, savage place.
Now I realize some of these comments could be from people of foreign countries, but I'm sure a lot are from people living in this country. Either way though, it angers me to see comments like that.
I also know using YouTube comments for any sort of study would hardly lead to anything conclusive, but it just seems that for every pro gun comment I see, there are maybe five anti gun ones.
What do you folks think, who makes up the majority? Anti gunners or pro gunners?
(No need to get into political correctness with this one. I use the terms anti gunner and pro gunner somewhat loosely. I just want to see people's opinions and start a conversation.)
