Good example of good jokes and bad jokes. "This is a 9mm, but I measured it and it's actually a lot bigger than that". Great joke. Makes the presenter look dumb and pokes fun at people who speak authoritatively on a subject they definitely know nothing about.

"I now have PTSD just by being around gunfire". Bad joke. It suggests guns causing PTSD is a ridiculous concept but just seems to be mocking the pain and suffering of combat veterans and school shooting survivors who probably dont see it as a ridiculous concept. Makes it seem like the writers are people who speak authoritatively on a subject they definitely know nothing about.

The latter is mocking a moronic journalist who claimed he got ptsd just from shooting a gun once.

The ptsd joke is about that ny daily news journalist who "got temporary ptsd" from firing an AR-15. No traumatic event, just going to the range.

I cant find the original article, it was probably taken down. But heres this article on the original article. https://www.theblaze.com/conservative-review/lol-daily-news-reporter-just-claimed-got-ptsd-firing-ar-15

PTSD does exist, its very serious, this journalist did not have it. Hell he probably didnt even really fire it, seeing as he said it had massive recoil.

Until the Summer of love, I rarely ever carried a firearm outside of the home when I wasn't working.

Since then, I never leave home without one. I even carry one in my trunk just in case.

The riots showed how violent the democrats can be and I saw several unarmed people beat to a pulp during the riots.

While I live in a blue state, we are not overly restrictive on firearms. Getting a CCW was an easy process even thought I don't need one.

The data doesn't support your conclusion though:

https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/news/2020/aug/1/survey-8000-prisoners-political-views-finds-surprising-results/

The biggest political group in prison is republican at 36%, and democrat at half of that, at 18%.

The article doesn’t say that.
