1. WTF is this?

I grabbed a transcript

Pastebin refused to post it. So rentry.

What does this mean? (an error in transcription?)

But I will say this, America is a gun-loving country and leftists love their guns

I will say from my experience that violence is taught. Hate is taught. Racism is taught. They are not innate.

Life is a mirror. The way we treat others reflects how we value ourselves.

It's not just mystic thought. Cherie Carter-Scott writes in "If life is a game, these are the rules":

Rule 7: Others are only mirrors of you.

How you react to others says much more about you than about the others. According to Carter-Scott, you cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself. We love people who have traits that we like and dislike people who have traits we dislike.

People who kill others have zero mirror neurons. They can't imagine what others feel, and they are empty. By killing others, they kill themselves.

America loves guns because movies and the NRA brainwashed people for ages. They have created a cult mentality around guns and violence. Most other countries do not have the same situation.

I'm a veteran, and live in the woods with bears (I can send pictures) and rattlesnakes and all manner of crap. The worst I need to kill is a six pack.

Again, WTF is this?
