I can't even watch this guy for 2 minutes before spews so much garbage. "People who are so terrified they have to carry a gun to a coffee shop." This guy is so delusional and is the perfect example of what happens when you read too much. Yes he is right, in the perfect world we should even need guns. However in the REAL world there are evil people and/or mentally deranged people out there. If you take a step back from all his hot air, you realize he is anti-western, sadistic moron who doesn't believe in common human natures like self defense.

Americans are strange.
In most places, people against gun control say "these are tools, I'm not going to kill anyone". In America, people against gun control say " but what if I need to kill someone and don't have my gun?"

Yup, the most quoted man in history, a fearless public intellectual with a decades-long career, author of more books than you've read.... "spews so much garbage" because your uninformed opinion differs from his understanding.
Please don't reproduce.

He's an intellectual giant in the field of linguistics. That still doesn't give any credence to his delusional ramblings in poli sci, a field in which he isn't taken seriously by the professionals.
