Steven Crowder Asks College Students to Change His Mind About Guns [VIDEO]

  1. Steven Crowder wants to see if university students can change his mind about guns.

Cognitive dissonance is a fascinating thing to behold. Steven Crowder’s latest project in guerrilla social experimentation was to set up a table on a Texas university campus and ask passers by to change his mind about guns and his support of Second Amendment rights. Polite, sometimes rational conversation ensued.

But not before revealing more than a little misinformation and a few contradictions. Take, for example, the woman who believes that we have a police brutality problem in this country, but wants to cede her right to carry a gun and the responsibility for her personal defense to…you guessed it…the police. Or the gentleman who thinks that violent people (and we’ll know they’re violent because they will have undergone a psych evaluation) should be restricted to handgun ownership.

Crowder keeps it all very erudite and entertaining, not to mention civil. That is, until a few campus police officers roll up and apparently put a stop to the whole thing (we’d guess Crowder didn’t bother asking the school’s administration for permission in advance). Because the last place you’d want to conduct a polite, intelligent conversation about a controversial topic these days is at an institution of higher learning.

Here’s the video:

  1. “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

    — H. L. Mencken

    This goes double for American college “students.”

    • You don’t go college because you’re wise and knowledgeable, you go in the hopes of acquiring those traits (bit of a “blind leading the blind” conundrum there). Or because your career arbitrarily requires a stupid piece of paper to signify what you already know.

      • Yes, but don’t most colleges pride themselves on their exclusivity, that they only take the best applicants? Wouldn’t we expect such a selected group be more intelligent and informed?

        Unless, or course, there are specific traits other than intelligence and accomplishment that are prioritized in the admissions process…

  2. It should be no surprise that campus administrators who hate the Second Amendment also hate the First Amendment.

    Neither should it be a surprise that campus administrators who hate “firearms” have absolutely no reservations sending campus police WITH FIREARMS to chase away someone exercising the First Amendment.

  3. Let’s not be so dramatic on the price point here, the regular Weatherby Accumark in .308 Winchester is around $1590 street price right now, while the $2200 posted above on the Accumark RC is just the MSRP. It comes with a #3 Criterion button rifled barrel, Mark V action, Mark V trigger, Bell and Carlson stock. Spec’d separately as a custom rifle you would come in right around $1500 in parts without assembly and fitting.

    The base Remington threaded 5R rifled model is not the same type for comparison to this rifle. Remington has 29 different 700 models available that range from the SPS with a street price of $550 up to $2900 for the Tactical Chassis. The most similar model is the Model 700 Sendero SF II starts at MSRP $1502 and actually sells for around $1070.

    Really both of the above are in the same market and price range. We aren’t talking about custom production rifles like the GA Precision Xtreme Hunter which starts at $4,350 and is based on a custom 700 action. Firearms are expensive and that shouldn’t be a shock to anyone.

  5. To hell with the Swiss. When the greatest confrontation between good and evil in the History of the World was playing out on their doorstep, the best they could do was vote “present”.

  6. “In Chicago, a model city for gun control…”

    When you write something like that, you make yourself look stupid. Thanks to a few court decisions, the laws have changed in Chicago. Educate yourself before you write.

    • Chicago has been THE model city for gun control for decades and has had to be forced kicking and screaming into the current level of moderately pro Second Amendment Illinois. FOIDs and permits and restrictions on gun stores and ranges, etc. are STILL all violations of the Second Amendment, even if the ability to get a concealed carry permission slip has been liberalized.

      All of this has resulted in the people of Chicago, regardless of the current state of the law, being indoctrinated for much too long that actually owning and carrying a pistol for self-protection is a terrible and dangerous thing. This will take some time to turn around and is one of those things that makes Chicago such a model for gun control.

      (Born and raised in Chicago, still have relatives there, some of them with permission slips.)

  7. We may get to find out what the populace thinks of a revolt way before any attempts to impeach President Donald J. Trump as the (((Georgy Schwartz))) alias (((George Soros”)))-financed domestic terrorists, AntiFa and associated groups, have planned on beginning THEIR “revolution” on Nov. 4th with nationwide “actions” which they intend on escalating each day/week.

    The urban areas as we all know with a population for all intents and purposes “disarmed” will see a majority of the unrest but the real question is what will befall the violent Anarchist/Communist/Socialist/Marxist/Leninist/Trotskyite scum if and when they descend upon the suburbs and rural locales where local police/county sheriff’s deputies will be stretched thin.

    As I’ve said before in numerous posts our nation is overdue for an enema, law-abiding Americans can not only help administer the “cleansing” but also aid in #MAGA by just putting down this violent rabble like the rabid dogs they are.

    Note: Public TV/PBS has been for the last few years describing the riots in urban areas during the 1960s as “rebellions”, watch for the language used this time around as the Fake News will seek to downplay violent attacks and make the unrest about something other than the complete overthrow of our system of government.

  8. I drove by Cipole road earlier today. (Italian for onion, pronounced chipolla). It’s a huge flat space that floods every year and attracts ducks and geese by the thousands.
    I wondered how the dood managed to shoot himself. The news report last night wasn’t clear.

  9. I was off of your bus at UAE. I’m not going to choose to support a country that supports our enemies. Before anyone spouts off with something stupid like oil being used in my vehicle, I don’t want to walk a mile in your shoes. I also don’t want to walk to work every day.

  10. Citizens protects foundations of what makes the country.

  11. What the hell is your video hosting service about? It sucks more than youtube, I’ll tell you.

    Can’t adjust the speed, resolution or step through frames.

  12. “Take, for example, the woman who believes that we have a police brutality problem in this country, but wants to cede her right to carry a gun and the responsibility for her personal defense to…you guessed it…the police.” It’s pretty cool that we can now just shoot police officers.
