General Discussion

Its a transcript not an article. While I did not do the transcript itself it still took a while for me to put together and quite a bit of effort to format it so that it looks the way it does. Some people may not have that ability to do so and I do not fault them for that. Just glad I could so people could also read it. Reading it does impart something that the video does not to me though. I can stop on a sentence and re-read it so that it impacts me more.
This part hit me hard.

Guns have been carved out as a golden calf of freedom, not because they're the heart of the Second Amendment, but because Smith and Wesson and Glock have quarterly numbers to meet. You've been sold a goddamn lie dressed up as liberty. And when you parrot the line that the gun was purchased legally to defend the indefensible, you're not making the case for freedom. You're
making a case for stricter laws. Because if the system that hands out these weapons keeps delivering them into the hands of murderers, then the system is broken and broken things must be fixed or else they bury us. So to the chest thumping patriots that
scream one is too many when it comes to immigration, I ask you, where is that fury when it comes to children bleeding on church floors? Where's your outrage when the classrooms of America double as training grounds for lockdown drills? You don't get to
wag your finger about liberty when our children are growing up in a world where the sound of a slammed locker door can trigger panic.
