All firearms are semiautomatic, except a derringer or musket.

No they aren't, bulltwinkle. A semi automatic weapon is one where you depress the trigger to fire a round and another round automatically feeds into the chamber. To fire the next round, you press the trigger again. The speed of firing rounds is only limited by the speed of your trigger finger and the size of your magazine.

Shotguns and rifles are firearms where you have to eject the spent cartridge through an action like moving a bolt (bolt action), or cranking a lever, and then feed another round into the chamber, or place the round in yourself, to fire the next round. In the time it takes to reload with these weapons, the attacker can be more easily either stopped by being shot or disarmed by other means.

My .22 rifle is semiautomatic.
A revolver is semiautomatic.

Hell, a knife is semiautomatic.

Damn, where did you get that knife?

Just like a handgun with every trigger pull fires a round, every trigger pull of the knife(a stab) fires a stab

Your knife has a trigger? Wild.

Yes, your hand/arm.

Your knife has a trigger?

God bless America!!!

Yes, your hand/arm.

Nonsense, my hand is right here.

Sanders went on JRE? Interesting, I didn't fully expect it tbh. Clever move though.

A lot of people think Joe Rogan is right wing, or alt right, but he's not. Most of the political opinions he has are on the left (the US left, not you know, the left left).

If a ban would allow the state police to remove assault weapons from owners, a lot of people are going to die.
I do not think such a ban is possible.

Stop the selling of such weapons, sure. But what about inheritance, gifts, what about the guns already there?

Not much will change, too many guns already that owners sure as hell will not give up without a civil war.

I was glad to see him talk for more than 5 minutes. Still though by Joe Rogan standards this is a short interview. I guess he's pretty busy with the campaign.

I saw where Bernie said if he becomes president and finds out anything about UFOs and aliens he's tell the public.

A lot of people think Joe Rogan is right wing, or alt right, but he's not. Most of the political opinions he has are on the left (the US left, not you know, the left left).

They think that because almost all the (more political) guests he ever has on and the people he hangs out with are right wing, and also his style is super non confrontational so he usually just nods along with almost everything they say. And it is not that no leftist people have tried. Except for Cornel West, but he's the nicest person, only a complete psychopath would reject him.

He's talking about all that in this video (I think it just came out today).

I can't watch videos right now, and for a long time, I'm on mobile data, what did he say?

He shouldn't have done that. If he really wanted to, he should have stayed quiet and acted like he would play ball. Then if there was anything, declassify it and tell the public.

That is what JFK did (well with other things, not ufo stuff).

He always struck me as pretty center with a slight lean to the right. It's a nice change from most people in his profession. Even those who are obviously out there, he at least gives them a fair chance to speak and present their conversation. He also doesn't attack them.

He talks about how vicious some of the comments on his Bernie podcast were and wondered how we got this bad, and she talked about how we see people with different opinions as the enemy now. Then he talked a bit about having Gavin McInnes on because he was the cofounder of Vice, but now people think he (Joe) is alt right because of it. There was some other stuff, it's a good clip.

There is opinions and then there is opinions. Honestly there are some opinions where it's just fucked up if you don't consider the people who hold them enemies. I understand why people are angry at Joe Rogan for his behavior, if he keeps platforming these people and just nods along at everything they say while very rarely platforming people opposite to them (thus discrediting the defense that he just likes to hear all opinions or whatever) then he's fucked up. I don't think he's alt right but I do think he's pretty dumb, and he should be more responsible given his viewership.

I disagree. Joe Rogan is not Larry King. He once warned his audience that he's kind of a moron and people shouldn't consider him a thought leader.  He interviews a wide range of people including some very weird conspiracy theorists.

Which is why I keep asking john davis to reach out to do an interview. I'm sure he'd love to talk to a flat earther.

Are you basing your judgement of him on what other people say, or on having watched his podcasts yourself? He doesn't just nod along with everything his guests say.

I've seen some of them. I remember when he attacked Crowder for being negative towards weed lol. I also remember one time when he actually did sort of challenge JP on his weird enforced monogamy stance. Unfortunately most of the times he doesn't provide any serious challenge.

He's not Larry King but the people he interviews aren't that "diverse" usually, when it comes to politics. Recently he's kiiiinda improved, but still...

I mean, I don't think he is selectively non confrontational, he is like that with everyone. It's just that it doesn't help.

Most of the people he has on are his comedian friends, and they talk about sports. I would not be surprised if he tries to get more "diverse" people on but they are too snowflaky to come on the show.

I mentioned earlier that I know leftists who have said they tried to get there but were ignored or rejected. It's not because they don't want to get up there, it's because he doesn't accept them, probably because it will piss off a big part of his fanbase, which is largely of a specific political orientation. I don't remember who all of them were. I remember for sure the hosts of Chapo Trap House tried to get one of them on JRE, not sure how it ended up exactly but it didn't happen.

So you could do a little or a lot in a random amount of time?
