    Vehicles have been far more dangerous to me personally. I’ve been struck twice, while on sidewalks.

    Fear of guns doesn’t keep me awake at night.

    I’ve got a chipped tooth that does though. I’ve got a few questionable spots on my skin that may or may not be cancer. My vision has been getting worse. I’ve got tinnitus. My joints hurt as if I’m older than I am. And like most americans, I could use some therapy.

    I’m afraid of the dangers of the american healthcare system. The thought of getting anything just looked at, nevermind treated, and becoming more financially ruined keeps me from going. Knowing that I’ll likely be scammed and cheated by a private system that only wants to squeeze me for everything I’ve got left makes me just take my chances with nature.

    Does anyone else think it’s weird the lack of coverage this shooter is receiving from “guntubers”? Like, a certain guntuber not named specifically (he might have a lot of AK’s) put out videos analyzing the two attempted Trump assassinations and the guns they had/used a day or two after it happened. I was kinda looking forward to watching them discuss possibilities for the gun jams and what he might have used to carry out his plan, from people who know a hell of a lot more about guns than me, but it’s been radio silence.

    I try not to watch guntubers religiously but I do like seeing their point of view on stuff like this sometimes, but this not even being on their radar gives me the ick honestly.

      Brandon made his overall position on politics apparent when he invited Kyle Rittenhouse on as a hero. My opinion of him could only go lower if he ends up being recruited for the Trump regime in some capacity. Give him the ATF like the memes say just to fill out the circus.

        I was surprised when Hickok45 brought Tucker Carlson into a video and seemed starstruck by him. I thought, perhaps naively, that being a teacher he wouldn’t be so gullible.

      Garand Thumb made a good video talking about the theories that were out there about the gun/suppressor used by Luigi.
