They should when the bit itself is full of poignant arguments expertly refuting common myths. Which is exactly what he does in this very bit which you apparently refuse to even watch.
It's Jim. Jeff is part of his surname. Big Trump saying "Chairman Un" vibes 😄
For someone who's yet to provide any to prove his assertion, you're awfully preoccupied with statistics
You know that some factual conditions can be inferred through reason, right? That's what "Jeff Jimries" does in the bit you automatically dismiss.
Clearly. It has convincing counterarguments to the claims that you seem to think are somehow proven by many people having guns.
Do you think that the fact that almost everyone has shoes mean that the vast majority of people walk with a healthy posture?
Easy claim to make when your "point" is as hollow and unsupported as a bendy straw in a vacuum.
I've seen the bit. I agree with most of it. It's entirely irrelevant. You are just trying to bring the entire gun debate to a small, limited scope statement.
How is it inferred, in this bit, that most gun owners are irresponsible. That has gone above my head.
