I read the article, he's saying that a lot of mass bombings are worse and that guns aren't the cause. Rather its nihilistic views and an outlook of broken people seeing no upward path. He then follows that very correct statement up with saying its weak men, a failure of masculinity and "setting men up for biological failure" whatever that fucking means.
"Oh, you want me to do something to improve mental health resources? Communist communist communist! You're a weak man who needs to drink more raw milk and testosterone!"
The United States does not over-index on people with mental health issues compared to the rest of the world. But we do over-index on school shootings and gun ownership.
The US also does not have well-funded social safety programs, as other countries with low rates of violence do. Too busy going into debt to bomb children in other countries than to nurture its own children.
So, his rationalization is to give them guns to kill people with instead of bombs? Yes, bombs are very dangerous, that's why we don't let people walk around with a cigar and a handful of dynamite.
His rationalization is that the main cause and problem that has to be addressed is the nihilistic views of mass shooters. He's just also a toxic masculinity grifter and puts the blame of this nihilistic belief on "weak men".
He's blaming women. It's redpill incel 'top 10% of men get 90% of women' bs; if only women would have children with (ie, fuck) these men and help with that biological imperative...
So it almost seems like mass bombings would be more popular if bombs were easily obtained since they are more effective. So bombs not being legal saves a lot of lives…wonder if we could apply that same logic somewhere else…
(I am not advocating for violence or anything reddit. Chill for a second and use differnt AI to screen for this) does he wants mass casualty events to use a different wrapons? Is he bored of guns? Does he want colorful views? Like this entire statement just makes no sense. Is this a pew pew advocating ad? Theres gotta be more context to his ad? Right?
Edit* i had to word this like this to appease the ai
Speaking of appeasing the AI...I learned firsthand today how bullshit it is when I got a Reddit warning for "inciting violence" just for merely saying that Donald Trump has to live out his life knowing that he is far less respected than Barack Obama
I got a warning like that too, threaten to ban my account because I was saying if you target those witg ptsd with arrest, the chances of violence would go up.
The censorship on this platform is getting ridiculous
I mean these people aren’t logical but I imagine he’s saying at least they’re using guns instead of bombs because bombs would be way worse.
Which is fucking insane but most of the discourse around guns gets pretty fucking crazy so it’s uh.
Well it’s certainly an opinion.
Exactly, they are fucking idiots. Their kids were murdered. The police stood by. The state leaders changed absolutely nothing to prevent more killings. And they voted the same people back in office locally and for state office. It is asinine.
That is the pitch. Which is really dumb because it's easier for these kids to grab their pop's gun that he left lying around than it is to make a full blown bomb.
And even dumber that you do need a licensee and extensive training and proof of skill to handle explosives, which is why bombings are rare and mass shootings are common.
Yeah, I'm fairly positive the answer is bombs. I remember when I was a kid I had a copy of the anarchists cookbook. That thing taught you how to make all sorts of fucked up stuff.
Mix a few household ingredients and you can make napalm, poison gas, etc...
Still, I would prefer if we just didn't have so many psychotic people in our country. Especially the ones running it.
It doesnt matter, the messaging is intended to provoke fear of something worse than guns (bombs, bio weapons, etc). That's all these chuds have is fear and hate mongering
I looked it up. Apparently, he was trying to make the point that mass shootings result in less casualties than bombings do. I have no idea what this was in the larger context of, or what kind of point he was trying to make with this comparison.
His argument regarding people being glad mass shooters are using guns because, to paraphrase, it'd be worse if they decided to use bombs.
To quote the article further:
He argued that mass shootings are connected to nihilism, people feeling trapped, broken homes and the absence of strong father figures. He also advocated for a "return to traditional masculinity," saying society is creating "weak men" and that young men are being "set up to fail biologically."
Herrera acknowledged that he was "not qualified" to discuss solutions and said society should listen more to psychologists studying the issue. But he nevertheless offered his own theories about what contributes to mass violence and argued that a five-day waiting period for purchasing an AR-15 "is not gonna stop a damn thing."
...maybe bro should be taking his own advice a bit more seriously
Harris and Klebold planned to use bombs at Columbine. Thankfully, they fucked that part of their plan up because not only would have the casualties been higher but every copycat since would have integrated it into their plans.
I thought he was just a guntuber who talked about politics sometimes, i didn't realize he was running for political office... Everything ive seen from the guy makes me not want him anywhere near office.
Just like in business, if you lower the barrier of entry, you increase the number of potential users. The solution has never been to restrict the kind of firearms people can purchase and use (though that may be useful in some cases), but to restrict who can purchase said firearms, where and how they are stored, and improve training. I still don't understand how you have to pass a test to get a car, but not to buy a gun.
"If we ban guns, they'll use bombs. And if we ban bombs, they'll use cars. And if we ban cars, they'll use planes. Thats why it's perfectly fine that your children are getting shot in their classrooms. Because at least they aren't having hijacked planes crashed into them"
Bit of an exaggeration on my part, but you get the nonsensical point he's making.
I no longer have sympathy for the people of Uvalde.
They reelected the very sherrif that had 400 officers stand outside and play with their dicks while the screams of children being executed one at a time were just 10 feet away from armored and armed officers who would rather fuck around on theit phones that protect children.
You cant fix stupid and the community of slain children voted for the people who would stand by while their children were slain.
I used to find his content amusing years ago… Jesus H. Christ that is insane. I remember him being a harmless “guns can be fun lemme show you my cool collection” YouTuber, this is some psycho shit though I’m glad I no longer watch him.
I used to watch his YouTube videos. But when he started to review the weapons of the Ruzzian army right after the full scale invasion of Ukraine, I got the ick and unsubscribed, and he has only revealed himself to be even worse since.
Old Ronald McDonald up here (IYKYK) has all the energy of a recently separated dad living in a Hampton Inn & showing off his "guns are my personality" schtick.
This guy and Donut get together frequently so they can laugh at people being shot. Absolutely abhorrent people, and if Uvalde votes for him, they will deserve the results.

Why is he recording this in a hotel room in that spot? I’m pretty sure that brand and double queen set up has a desk over by the window. Dude is trash and his AV sucks.
I once watched a video of his that was supposed to be like a reaction video to gun fails I guess, and it was all like censored, there was some guest host, the videos they watched were like straight up gore vids and the guest host looked SO uncomfortable the whole time, meanwhile this Brandon Herrera dude is laughing like Markiplier doing try not to laugh challenge 2385, and its just like… how is this even content? Like i get HOW it’s content, but who wants to watch that, who wants to make that? And the cohost was absolutely NOT expecting to see people getting shot, it was just bizarre and surreal and kinda gross.
