How Owning a Gun Changed Colion Noir

haha, Joe Rogan's experience, that's another perspective I've also noticed, yes, it's a mentality that is much more pervasive than necessary. You are right about the way people view success. I was raised, but my mom and I should be failures. To be honest with you, I'm like the epitome of having an experience where I shouldn't be anything like my mom was, look, Tim, why not you? And I don't mean any specific race or any specific type of people, but anything if you want something and See someone who has something you want to work on and find a way to get it.

That should be a motivation, not something I look down on and say, well, why do they have that? That is not fair. I think I should have that. there's too much of that thought process and mentality in this country it's a mind, yeah, and I think it's scary, it's scary because then what it does is it allows for success and now, instead of establishing success as something that the People aspire, now it has become something. that people attack, yes, and I think that is incredibly dangerous, incredibly dangerous, yes, I agree, it is a very weak perspective, there is a type of meaning, there are different types of success, of course, this is someone's success who built a business versus the success of someone who is doing it. some shady ones with the man with loans and you know, and between people with, you know, subprime mortgages and there are different things that make you successful, you know, there is the wolf of Wall Street, the money you get by scamming the people, but I think that goes without That said, yeah, that's pretty blatant, but it's also like the gun problem and people being messy, yeah, you know, everyone was saying you know one would have a gun problem, It's a complicated problem that comes with it as human beings because we're just weird people it's weird no, you're right and I, but here's a funny thing, like I have this kind of utopian vision of this, like mass education about weapons fire and the reason why I have it and I know it's a little naive to a certain extent. but I think the gun

changed

the way I looked at the world and I think the gun, as you know,

changed

the way you look at the world, it taught me to worry even though my mom really got over it.

In my head the gun almost served as a physical symbol of self-sufficiency, not that I don't need anyone, but trusting in my own ability to find a way to deal with whatever problem I have, sometimes that ability means turning to someone. Who is better at it than you that can help you do something to learn exactly or it means to find a strength within yourself to overcome a problem that you are dealing with the gun showed me and not only told me that they taught me responsibility because now We're talking, though, I want Disney to understand it when it comes to the enthusiast aspect of the sport, it's still a life or death thing, it's a life and death tool that can be used to take a life and it can be used to save a.

So Deborah is a big responsibility, especially when I carry that around everywhere I go, so it really made me appreciate life more. I began to value life much more. Most people think you get a gun and all that. I just want to kill myself, not like I tell you this all the time, the day I have to use the gun to defend myself I'm going to need therapy at all costs I'm going to need therapy because it's made me value life there, it's not that I didn't buy you like before, but it's something that brings it to the forefront of your consciousness when you have a gun and you understand what that gun can be used for, um, and that happens to a lot more people than most people realize. that people get a gun and become reckless killers we want to kill everyone when in reality there are a number of stories from people I know a guy whose gun helped him get out of his depression.

I know I know what it sounds like. crazy, it sounds crazy, but he will tell you the right speech and he is and he is very, he should be. I mean, he grew up on the streets of St. Louis and he didn't, he didn't have a good life, he was young and he was depressed, but when he got into firearms, it allowed him to deal with his depression because he found something he was passionate about. Isn't that crazy? but that's something that really works when you find something that you really love and you go for it and you get something like that is one of the problems I have with the term depression, boy, it's a blanket that you throw over so many different factors, yeah, like what is. almost like the term drugs, like if you say you want drugs, yeah, I drank a cup of coffee, it's weird, yeah, depression is in many ways like that in the sense that there are people and I know these people who have a real problem. with your brain and the way the brain produces chemicals the same way some people have problems with their liver some people are born with ineffective lungs these are all just parts of us as people yeah and some people have legitimate problems that I think they need medication for and Then there are other people who just don't feel good and they call it depression because their life sucks and their job sucks and no one wants to have sex with them and they don't have money so they're depressed yeah , and Let's say I'm suffering from depression and then what do you do with that?

Well, some of those people take medication and I don't know if that's really the answer because there are a lot of those people that I know that have discovered jiu-jitsu. or I discovered other things that you like, whether it's physical things often because they release endorphins and because they're actually healthy for you, but you're also passionate about something and you see this improvement and what you were talking about, with guns. trying to describe to someone why I like shooting guns, I said one of the reasons I like it is because I'm not very good at it, yeah, you know, I like learning things, I like learning all kinds of things.
