...I don't understand at all why Ashton Kutcher isn't held accountable for entering his "date's" home, finding her clearly dead (murdered) then sits in his car for an hour, calling his manager AND Danny Masterson, not 911, then he goes to a Hollywood afterparty (?) Why is Kutcher not held responsible for not reporting this dead woman, obviously murdered? The LA police discovered that this is exactly what happened (Kutcher had entered the home). It's in the murder trial. Kutcher lied on the stand and his testimony was compromised
I was raised up with my father having 1/2 a dozen rifles (he was an avid hunter & fishing). My mother made blankets from clothes we outgrew. When my brothers got old enough to go out on their own. My father gave a rifle to each of my brothers & my mother gave each of her girls a homemade blanket. Now my son has rifles and guns. Weapons don’t harm people, PEOPLE control the weapons.
I agree. If you go hunting, I think that’s entire reasonable. If I lived in America I’d think about learning to use and own guns. In Australia I’m happy we have strict gun controls. It’s the same reason why we don’t want lots of countries with nukes. The risk of escalation is more extreme. A guy got nabbed on train with a bag of guns. He had a shotgun, old revolver and antique Tommy gun. The likely hood of getting shot and killed is lower. Of course there’s lots of knife crime. I’d rather face a knife than a gun if I’m cornered.
You have mistaken the relevance of proximate causation. "So let us turn to the argument itself: “Guns don’t kill people; people do.” The first thing to notice is that the argument has no stated conclusion. What follows? Since the argument is usually given in the context of a discussion about gun regulation, by gun advocates, I assume the conclusion has something to do with that. But what exactly? That there should be no gun regulation at all? That there shouldn't be any more gun regulation than there is? That the increase in mass killings done with guns is irrelevant to whether or not there should be gun regulations? Who knows? In any event, it doesn't matter, because no conclusion about gun regulation logically follows from these two statements. To understand why, let me articulate the difference between ultimate, intermediate, and proximate causes. Consider the words you are looking at right now. What "caused" the words you are reading to appear to you right now? You might say that I, the author, did; but that is not the whole story. The whole story is long and includes me typing on a keyboard, creating a Microsoft Word document, posting the words on my blog, and so on. There is a long "causal chain" standing between my intention to type these words and the emission of light from your screen to your eyes. That causal chain starts with me; I am the ultimate cause. Other subsequent links in the chain-my typing, my posting, your clicking-are “intermediate causes." And the light emitting from your screen is the proximate cause-the thing or event most immediately responsible for your current experience. The argument under consideration clarifies that, when it comes to murders, people are the ultimate cause and guns are merely proximate causes-the end of a causal chain that started with a person deciding to murder. But nothing follows from these facts about whether or not guns should be regulated. After all, such facts are true for all criminal activity, and even noncriminal activity that harms others: The ultimate cause is found in some decision that a person made; the event, activity, or object that most directly did the harming was only a proximate cause. But this tells us nothing about whether or not the proximate cause in question should be regulated or made illegal. For example, consider the following argument: "Bazookas don't kill people; people do." Although it is obviously true that bazookas are only proximate causes, it clearly does not follow that bazookas should be legal. Yes, bazookas don't kill people, people do-but bazookas make it a lot easier for people to kill people, and in great numbers. Furthermore, a bazooka would not be useful for much else besides mass murders. Bazookas clearly should be illegal and the fact that they would only be proximate causes to mass murders does not change this. In fact, it is totally irrelevant to the issue; it has nothing to do the fact that they should be illegal. Why? Because other things are proximate causes to people’s demise, but obviously shouldn’t be illegal. For example, consider this argument (given in the aftermath of a bad car accident): "Cars don't kill people; people do." Obviously cars should not be illegal, but notice that this has nothing to do with the fact that they are proximate causes. Of course, they should be regulated; I shouldn't be allowed to go onto the highway in a car with no brakes. But all of that has to do what cars are for (they are not made for killing people), what role they play in society (it couldn't function without them) and so on. It's a complicated issue-one to which pointing out that cars are merely proximate causes to some deaths contributes nothing. Clearly the argument under consideration, and any other argument that merely points out that guns are proximate causes ("stop blaming the guns and start blaming the person") is fallacious. Since people can't seem to agree on what fallacy such arguments employ, I would like to give a name to the mistake I have identified within them: "the fallacy of mistaking the relevance of proximate causation." So, should all guns be illegal? After all, like the bazooka, they do make killing people en masse easier to accomplish. Then again, like cars, using them for mass murder is not their intended function. Most people agree that they should at least be regulated (at the least, most think that all gun sales should require a background check). But how strictly should they be regulated? Perhaps very strictly. After all, states with stricter gun regulations have fewer gun related deaths. Then again, there may be philosophical issues related to the protection of liberty that trump such utilitarian concerns. It’s a complicated issue. And that’s my point: It’s complicated. There are lots of relevant factors involved, but the fact that guns are proximate causes isn't one of them. So the next time someone says "Guns don't kill people; people do" in an attempt to end a discussion about gun control, do me a favor: Point out that they have “mistaken the relevance of proximate causation,” pause briefly to enjoy the confused look on their face, and then patiently explain the fallacy to them." -David Kyle Johnson / Ph.D

Regarding the gun conversation: My husband and I live in the country. We have some neighbors but it is mostly woods and cotton fields. We had friends come to visit with their three daughters. Mom was Dutch and Dad was Spanish (beautiful family) and after they had a blast riding 4-wheelers the day wanted to shoot a gun. We have a range set up on the back part of our property where targets are set up in front of a large hill so very safe. The girls were nervous but dad talked them into firing the weapon. They all fell in love with it. The middle daughter, who was 18 years old, was one of the best shots I have EVER seen and was this absolute natural. Whether it was a hand gun or AR, she nailed the target every time. These Europeans that were petrified when they found out we had firearms, were ready to go home and lobby for them at home. We explained each weapon and why we had them and they were fascinated.
Despite the societal programming of one's own government's anti-gun stance, every human yearns to be free, - and firearms provoke that emotion in people.
A lot of colonial Americans were Scots. They were hot off the '45 rising and the aftermath, the Disarming Act, and the Clearances where whole villages sometimes emigrated to the colonies. Many many founding fathers, including Thomas Jefferson were of Scottish heritage. They understood the right to bear arms needed to be codified in the constitution. If a Gov't says you don't need a weapon, you need a weapon.
So he really believed himself to be bigger than sliced bread. Scientology has responsibility in this because of their hiding of things that should be out in the light. Thank you both. Enlightening conversation. 💗🇦🇺 22:17
4 weapons is a low amount per person, mostly because weapons can be lots of different things, knives, bows & arrows, axes, maces, guns and other things.
I'm a retired nurse. I once had to do an education session with new diabetic at his GP's office. When we made the appointment he informed me that he was a Parol Officer. He went on to say he was required to carry his weapon when out and about and was I okay with that. Well that was a first. I was fine with it. As he was responsible for deciding if a parolee stays out of prison or goes back in, he needed his service weapon. This was the Chicago area after all.
In the UK only firearm police officers are allowed to carry guns. Most PC's will arry CS spray, which is classed as a firearm under section 5. In the UK they require special training to have a taser and not all response officers carry tasers. Its very different compared to other countries, especially USA.
81 is the number of people who have died as a result of police shootings in England & Wales since 1990. Eighty one in 34 years. I'm sure that number would be higher if every officer was allowed a gun. Edit: checked records for fatal shootings ( + deaths by taser included) by the police in the USA- for last year only the number is 1,232 😮 Holy smokes
@@marietate1915NO closets. Yup. Everything in wardrobes, no front yards, no dryers, you hang your things on lines in the house, sometimes this weird pully mechanism from a window, hangers in the bathroom, most fridges a little bigger than dorm sized, apartments (flats) tiny, 2 burner stoves, sinks postage stamp sized, rains 75% of the time, eating out expensive, no storage (space problem again there isn't any) transportation by bus, taxis probitively expensive, special occasions only, no parking available anywhere for your car, many times you bike, but have to keep it in your living room, no bike racks, no room in the hallway, turn on the electricity to your lamps flicking on a switch near the floor, Americans hilarious ! What ? This is a joke right ? 👋🤣That's to start !
Andrew, I cannot believe the British police are not armed! I met at my cousin's upper middle class suburban home for christmas, gave my 84 year old dad a hug. He was armed, small pistol in his front jeans pocket. As he doesn't leave the house ever without protection. What a difference between our countries!
The first time I met my colorful father-in-law, who has now passed, I gave him a hug and he had one on the hip and a "throw-down" in his cowboy boot. Never felt safer in my life!
The English police are armed ij central London in some parts were could be terrorist attacks with big guns the police have also got armed police for certain circumstances like a police call for someone who's armed with a weapon other than that they normally don't need a gun
Such an enjoyable programme despite the seriousness of the topic. You both make a great team together. Very watchable. Laughing along with ye. Well done.
I know somebody who has 20 + weapons including bow & arrow all variety of knives, hand guns, rifles including assault, and nunchucks. And all manner of self defense experience. He is former military, current security and PI. He has those weapons because he likes them. He identifies with the life, I guess. Don't piss him off.
As a long-time viewer of both channels, it's always a great time watching you two chat. I could listen to you guys talk about anything. Can't wait until the next one.
Aaron/Andrew, you both or either need to do a multi episodic story on the Masterson trial from day one! Get into details of the Jane Does and their circuitous journey to justice. Talk about the trial and the jury tampering and witness tampering and the CoS attorney and journalists shenanigans…. Just the whole enchilada. It is all so bonkers and fascinating and maddening with all the crap the Janes had to deal with. It is a case study for the ages.
Well said. I've known the case in pieces from different channels parts of it mentioned in other stories of the a video, parts of it I've missed a lot in between. It's needed to be told from the 1st till now.
I’d like to see more of you together. About Danny Masterson: What goes around comes around, it’s just that sometimes, it takes a little longer than one would like. An American, I lean toward gun ownership. I believe that the seller of any weapon in the United States has to keep a record of it, so the government gets the information that way. During a trial, if there is no bond, the accused is held in jail. Once convicted, a sentencing report is prepared, which usually takes three months, regarding mental status, etc., to determine what prison will hold the felon during his sentence. They first go to a processing center, after which they are sent to the recommended prison to serve out his or her sentence.
I'm an American. We have zero weapons except for kitchen knives. Isn't zero weapons enough? I do have some family and friends who have guns, but they use them to go hunting, and they eat what they kill. But I don't hunt.
Your right as owners also have the right. The reliance of them to police us and the glorification of them by media is a HUGE problem. They are ultimately only an inanimate object, the intent of the owner is what makes them dangerous.
Norwegian police do not carry weapons, they have to get some sort approval if its a severe incident... NOBODY I know has no weapens. I have never even seen one. . We live in a peaceful country thankfully !!!!!! . Congrats for tying the knot Andrew !!!!!
I have family in England and they came over last summer. My husbands cousins partner was curious about the gun situation here. So my husband took his cousin and her partner to a shooting range with my husbands friend who has multiple different guns and they were able to shoot them. Just a little fyi, he did a safety class with them before he let them even touch them and he told them, yes shooting at a range is fun but holding a gun is a big responsibility and to be taken seriously. I think that was a good way to put things. When I asked about it they both really enjoyed shooting and want to do it again. But she said she would never show anyone the pictures of doing it because of the reactions she would get.
I love the comaderie and humour shared between you two. 💗🇦🇺 26:05 TIKTOC is Chinese, and it is used extensively to bring down our young and disenchanted in the west. Likewise, the Fentanyl explosion. Just my thoughts. The idea of these brave people helping others to stay clear of "cleawater"💗🇦🇺 26:05 26:05
Thanks for this! You guys are so entertaining! Hope you two really will get together. Sounds like Aaron is going to copy your production style Andrew. Looking forward to that!😊
Enjoy seeing you both together. Very much enjoying your new channel, Andrew. Aaron appeared on my home page on someone's chanel I've never watched. You were great Aaron, just wish the host had a bit more of a sense of humour. It felt a bit like a therapy session, lol! Look forward to seeing Aaron pop-up in other places. May the algorithm be forever in your favour. All the best!
About the gun registry thing. We technically don’t have a “national registry” but don’t for a minute think the government doesn’t know every gun that is sold and purchased legally. Not talking about some guy buying one out of a trunk somewhere. But in any gun store Walmart sporting goods store anything that legitimately sells firearms, all those firearms have a serial number that is reported to the ATF when it is produced. When someone purchases it, any firearm bought the buyer has to produce a federal or state ID. So that serial number is recorded along with that government ID number and then is submitted to the ATF. I can garuntee you whether or not they want to call it a “registry” or not because that technically is infringement, they still have a list of every firearm ever produced with a serial number and said ID number that purchased it. For a while there, that’s why they were trying to ban private sales because that hurts their “list” integrity.
I have seen the criminals go from jail to a holding prison they stay there for an evaluation, where they get a medical exam check if you need mental health or some other issues , wheel chair or kidney dialysis ect. .Then they check what gang you fit in with so they don’t put you in the AntiScientology group lol. This all takes up to 90 days to wait for a space where you fit in well.
A-Aron, questioning the congressional representatives if they would support holding hearings into the human trafficking cult’s tax exempt status is a great idea. People should also ask the candidates of the other party in that district. And don’t forget to target the Senators who are also up for re-election and candidates. Crafting petitions to present to the Congressional reps is also a good idea! Really make it an issue they can’t avoid responding to.
I'm a random American woman and you just made me count them for the first time- I have 6 items that go bang. I've never though much about it. Some are inherited, 2 are antiques, some are rifles to scare off wild creatures, 2 are for fun and shooting range, one is to carry when I'm hiking alone. One is a mini weapon for hiding purposes. All different calibers. 2 semi-automatics. Maybe 2 are registered. I don't hunt and have never even considered shooting anyone. I live in the country, they are scattered about the house & garages. The handguns are locked up. During Covid we built target range to play. I probably haven't thought about them in at least 9 months. Pretty sure I'm on the low end for country folk. We play with our Nerf Rival guns all the time though. Most rural country folks have assortments like this. If they are of the male variety and under 50 they probably have a few automatic and completely unnecessay weapons. The random country peeps are not the mass shooters though. They occasionally shoot each other, mostly on accident, but I'm cool with that. I don't think anyone NEEDS the autos. It's saves us ladies from unwanted attention from the slovenly jackasses. I would give them up without much fuss if it were the law. So that's the country status of American gun ownership if anyone is curious. Minus serious hunters. We've killed all our wildlife though so it doesn't much matter.
@@MAYK1NG I'm under the impression that you all are resonable enough to acknowledge you don't need the automatic weapons and will give them up so innocents don't die en masse when jackasses get a hold of them. Are you not still allowed to possess these for sporting or competition purposes? I do know your rules are morphing though and people are panicking. Runkle of the Bailey is a Canadian firearms lawyer that has a lot of interesting youtube content on these weapon issues. He's doing an "is it a gun now?" series...
Completely OT: Andrew's observations about how fast the potatoes "disappeared" . One of the _BEST_ safety things you can demonstrate to young shooters is the "instant" destruction and that there's no "call backs" or "do overs". That impression does much towards the safe handling in the future. To A-A-Ron's registry. There's not supposed to be a national registry. The BATFE was recently busted creating a _de_ _facto_ registry. That said, the Form 4473s is what they used. Had he purchased FTF in a private sale, like his "friend" that turned in the weapons in WA, there would be no way of verifying what he turned in or not. Added in Edit - Context: The devastation and permanence of a weapon being a lesson I've passed on to every one I've helped shoot; I have run on several incidents where there was an "accidental" (negligent) discharge. Almost to the person it was always, "I didn't know it would do that."
When my dad took us to the range as kids (I was 8 or 9 at the time) he put out several gallon milk jugs he had us fill beforehand with water. We moved back to the 100yd bench and stood behind him while he loaded his .30-06 rifle , charged it, and took aim at one of the jugs. When he fired he covered a 50ft diameter area with a fine spray of water and nearly instantaneously flattened the milk jug. All of this happened before the sound of the report had ended. Then he turned around and told us to undo what he'd just done. My brother and I told him we couldn't and he replied "Remember that." I'm in my 50s now and STILL remember that lesson vividly.
Weapons…I am Canadian, we are much more like the Brits. Our cops are armed, but they are typically way better trained than American cops, so it takes a lot for them to even unholster a firearm.
4 WEAPONS!?!?! Awww.... he's so precious. Bless his heart. My 7 year old grandson has more than 4🤣🤣🤣Granted, they are put up and they're always used with adult supervision but when he turns eighteen he'll definitely have a small cache🤣🤣
If Masterson had any legal weapons, sold to him by a licensed gun dealer in California, he would have been required to give personal information such as address, show his California Real ID, etc., and then the dealer is required to forward all info about the sale, the type of gun, the serial number, to the DOJ (Dept. Of Justice), Firearms Division. I think that there is also a waiting period before you can actually take the gun, but I don’t think it’s a very long period. I think that maybe you also have to take a gun safety test, for which you get a certificate that has to be periodically renewed. So it isn’t as if you can just go and by firearms at a retailer without some paperwork. This is just what I remember from a friend who enjoys shooting at gun range. My husband and I have never had guns, but he used to go duck hunting with his family when he was young in North Dakota. You hit a potato Andrew?!!! That’s awesome! My uncles showed me how to shoot soda cans with a handgun when I was little, and I was horrible at it! Well done!
Andrew, I can tell you all about Jail and Prison, having been recently "schooled" myself. Jail is where you go when you've been arrested or remanded, Prison is where you go when you've been convicted and sentenced. Don't worry I checked with my younger brother who is a big-time lawyer.
They were obviously registered at some point in time. Utah has no registry - unless you buy new . Then they match to background check and serial numbers. Used guns can be bought and sold between private parties with no registration in Utah. California is a state where you have to register everything.
Heyyy A-A-RON 🥰 LOVE you💗and your channel! 🥰 Watch all the time! 😊 As an XJW can totally relate to the Scientology cult! 😢 You’re a real sweetheart and always wanting to help others! You rawk! 👊🙌👏👏🥰😘💞🇨🇦 **EDIT** Watched your live vids going to the Scientology compound! Love it; should open a lot of people’s eyes! 🙏🤞 🔴And I have to repeat; I DISLIKE very *SKETCHY* Mike Rinder 😎🥸🔴
Andrew, being an 82 year old Atheist and I am addicted to cults and high demand religions( Mormons, Jehovah’s Witness etc)I I do not get how people believe in this gobbly goop!!!
Great interview. I laughed about Andrew's reaction to American guns. We have a right to bear arms here, everyone has a gun. For a reason - we like our freedom..
This probably going to sound kind of strange, but I can recall when T70sS first aired I watched a first season episode with a friend of mine. We both thought it was great and that “Red” really made the show, but I 100% did not like Hyde…Danny’s truly creepy vibe could not be masked by the character, and I never gave much thought to his story arc after that first viewing.
County jail (typically) has less violence,less sexual assault,less segregation and races grouping up, less gang activity (typically) and typically,county jails are smaller...
Andrew most of us here in the US have guns. I personally have two. Its our right here. It's In our Constitution, that we have the right to bear arms. Believe me; we will not let our government take our guns.
4 is not a lot. 20 is not an arsenal. I only own 2 handguns; a small revolver and a semiautomatic pistol. My husband owns a lot more but I have no idea what. They are all in gun safes. I keep mine with me most of the time (my S&W .380). He carries almost always.
The 2nd Amendment guarantees the first. Owning weapons is key to maintaining our freedom. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the gun shops were giving weapons to every adult who was strong enough to fight.
I live in Alaska and only own two guns. One hand gun and one shotgun. I do not hunt. The hand gun is for protection against bears when i go to my outhouse and the shotgun is for home protection.
