I just saw this video. I love the Map Men series.

You summed it up perfectly right there. It's sad, really.

I'm sure that these Republican lawmakers have their motives for their ridiculous gun laws (probably money, but I have a limited knowledge when it comes to politics currently). However, it upsets me that they don't seem to care at all about human life. How many children are they going to let die? I don't believe guns are inherently evil, they have uses, but they need some strong restrictions right now. School shootings have become an epidemic in the United States, and as an American student, I'm honestly terrified about my own safety.

This is only the first time I've heard about Justin Jones, but from this video, he seems like a great person. I love that he actually shows emotion when he speaks. I definitely will do further research on him.

This song doesn't seem nearly as hideous as it's portrayed in this article. Sure, the fatphobic and anti-welfare lyrics are ignorant and slightly bigoted, but I see no direct evidence of any racism or antisemitism. This article seems to try and misconstrue Anthony's lyrics heavily here.
