I believe the Second Amendment protects your right to own nuclear weapons.

I believe an individual citizen in this country has a right to own a nuclear warhead. But not a delivery device? Oh, all of it, all of it. I think. Well, Tim, what about biological weapons? Absolutely. All of it. All of it. Tim Poole with another excellent, absolute banger of a take. That's who was talking, if you couldn't tell. It wasn't one of us. No, definitely not us. It was Tim Poole and his little goons. And we had to play the cloud music over it because you know that take is just psychotic. This is the logical extent of the the shall not be infringed crowd. You know what? Like it literally is the logical end to what they're saying. like shall not be infringed crowd you know what like it literally is the logical end to what they're saying like shall not be infringed i fucking guess i fucking guess if you believe that you should

be able to own weapons that are outlawed by the geneva convention you know you know usually

usually gage and i don't plan these beginning bits very much we just kind of riff yeah uh but gage

sent me this last night in my mind was just absolutely blown. What, like, because he's, what he's basically saying is freedom is when I can level all of Chicago. Literally. Freedom is when I can kill hundreds of thousands of people with one nuclear weapon. Freedom is, see, the funny thing is, freedom is when I can have a nuclear weapon, therefore having more power than a small country than most countries.

And the funny thing about that is I'm sure he supports not letting any country that we deem as our enemy be able to have nuclear weapons.

Yeah. Well, they're not American citizens.

Exactly. Exactly. Because these people simultaneously think that these rights are God-given and unalienable. But only applied to Americans? God only likes America. We're a city on a hill, baby. That's right. That's right. We're the new Israel, according to these kinds of people. Like, we are God's chosen warriors. We're just God's favorites. Oh my God. And that's why we should be able to own biological weapons. Like I don't understand why so many people really think that freedoms, especially the ones that are codified into the Constitution, are just unlimited. Oh yeah. It's the same thing with like freedom of speech. People think they can say literally anything and there are no consequences. I would say that's not what that means. I would say like the extent to which people try to like say some shit on social media and then just reply to criticism with First Amendment is the most psychotic-like thing, but this is just there.

I know. I know.

Bro said, I should be able to own gas.

I should be able to drop Agent Orange on anybody that I want.

That's freedom.

Yeah, it's like he's saying like my freedom to own weapons

outweighs the freedom of millions of people to just live without being bombed by a nuclear weapon.

Literally. It's like, I think I would prioritize living in a nuclear free area over you being able

to own any weapon that you want. Seems a little more important. Maybe no one should be able to own nuclear weapons that can literally destroy the planet. Yeah. But instead, Tim Pool's like, actually, I think Joe Bezos should be able to have his own army. Hey, maybe. Hey, what can I say? Maybe freedom is when I can like, you know, destroy half of the country. Maybe freedom is when I can plunge the world into a nuclear winter.

Freedom is when, on an impulse,

I can just let toxic gas into the air.

Yeah, I can just destroy everything.

Like,

Ha ha ha. Welcome back to the show, everybody.

Welcome back to Ed in the Office.
