How To Convince a Socialist


You can view the video here also, or download it in mp3 audio format if you like.  You won't miss much listening without video.  He's really just standing there, the whole time, without any visual aids.

Okay, so I've been greatly troubled by the fact that I'm having difficulties talking about gun control with leftists.  I think their main argument is that the government needs to ban guns for the greater good.  I have tried using facts and logic to argue that gun control just doesn't work, but that really just doesn't work.  I believe that the universe may have delivered what I needed in the form of this lecture on video.

Perhaps instead, I appeal to the desire of the leftist for greater government control, and try to paint a picture where they are a victim of government control, for the greater good,
Far more people are killed and injured by car accidents, than with firearms.  Shouldn't the government have direct control over what you can drive, how many miles you can drive, how far from work you are allowed to live?  Can it mandate that you take a bus or a train because, statistically, they are safer modes of transportation, regardless of how much time you'll waste waiting for the train, or waiting for your shift after your train arrives where you are going?  Can the government decide that, for the greater good, it needs you to work in Kansas, and that your spouse is badly needed in Washington?  Can the government decide that the skills you have aren't right for a teaching job, and for the greater good, we need you to work in a factory that produces the wheels for train cars?  I don't want to be limited to what guns I own, or told that I can't own any.  Why shouldn't government be able to tell you where you can live, or what you do for a living, regardless of what you want?  Can you still be happy living under government control, where the greater good demands that you must make sacrifices?  Do you really not believe that humans, Americans, have free will and property rights, than government has more power over your life than you do, regardless of what you want?
There may be something to this.
