I'd like to pretend that those people do not mean it. But ...

goodness is what comes to pass.

that becomes suffering indeed.

Re: Who is America ?
When i see things like this, at times, is almost like the sense of reality becomes more fluid and you think that it is all an arrangement that they came to beforehand. More or less my rational mind refuses to accept that such things are real.

The genius of this character is that an Israeli Mossad gun nut is the perfect catnip for the American right wing.

Re: Who is America ?
But seriously: how fracked in the head would you have to be to believe that anybody under the age of 18 (I would say 21) should be allowed to legally possess and carry a firearm???

That was a bridge too far, even for the Georgia Republican party.
Honestly you wonder who these politicians use to screen media requests. Sacha Baron Cohen has been doing this for decades - Ali G, Borat, Bruno, etc. - I know politicians lose all common sense once a camera is pointed at them, but they ought to have staff who can spot this sort of thing coming

Re: Who is America ?
I was taught to shoot when I was seven, and allowed to use firearms from that point on.

Re: Who is America ?
As Malcolm saysv, lots of kids here learn to shoot, especially if you live rurally. It's not like that's unique to the US either, guns can be fairly utilitarian if you live out in BFE. Of course, we aren't talking AR 15s etc.

Re: Who is America ?
I taught my kid brother to shoot when he was 7 or 8, but that does not mean I believe that kids should be allowed to own and carry guns.

Re: Who is America ?
Cohen is great. Very funny and still amazed how he gets them.
His Hebrew and Israeli accent is pretty good too. In case anyone's wondering, he starts the video saying "don't speak nonsense" (al tedeber shtiot).

Re: Who is America ?
Having been involved in self defense and martial arts for a while, I found the character especially hilarious. The lethal IDF trained soldier fightin' the terrorists is exactly the right thing to reel in this demographic. His walk had me laughing for a while.
