9 scathing takedowns of this right-wing YouTuber’s comical gun ownership argument
Singer, YouTuber and right-wing political commentator Tim Pool was, along with the Trump family, described as one of the top spreaders of election fraud misinformation.
Continuing that tradition of being spectacularly wrong, he recently shared this hot take on gun ownership, based on the Batman origin story, in which Bruce Wayne’s parents are shot by mugger Joe Chill.
His comical argument for more gun ownership was treated with the contempt it deserved, and these were the best takedowns.

Statistically, more likely he would have shot his son in the dark while Bruce was coming downstairs for a snack

If Joe Chill wasn't able to buy a gun, the Waynes all would have lived.

If Tim pool had taken the beanie off yrs ago he wouldn't look so ridiculous now as a 40yr old.
(I wonder if Tim Pool would be as big as he is now if he'd not worn a beanie? could a beanie have done Tim's job on its own?I guess we'll never know♂️)

The mugger was already pointing a gun at him so Tim is imagining a tycoon with a glock under his evening coat doing the alley scene from Collateral. https://t.co/RCY6ETLqvt

Age of Paranoia had a different way of solving Gotham’s problems.
Gotham should have taxed the rich at 90% that way everyone would have enough to live on and wouldn't commit crimes

In case you thought the Batman narrative was a random brain fart …nope.
What if Bruce Banner had failed Science 101 and been steered into the Humanities?
Nobody ever got a gamma overdose studying the Peasants’ Revolt.
