While watching the following video I realized how many great content creators there are on YouTube, and how much better off they would be here on Steemit.
Watch as Gray Winsler does a fabulous job of summarizing both sides of the gun control debate in the US. Whether your agree with him or not I'm sure you can agree he'd make an amazing addition to our community:
This is a very thoughtful video on a controversial topic. I am in the UK so it is hard for me to truly understand the American situation.
Guns are paradoxically very alien for me and also quite fascinating. It is becoming more common to see armed police in England these days but it is still a relative rarity and there is very strict control of public gun possession.
Summary:
It is hard for people on the extremes of both sides to see each other's points of view.
Guns have a unique place in American culture due to historical reasons that most other nations do not have.
Gun violence in the US is "rarer" than the popular perception.
Both sides do share common ground e.g. few people would argue against preventing people who are criminals or mentally ill from obtaining guns.
Politicians tend to use this issue for their own gains and much of the deadlock is created by them.
He makes his points in a very sensible and calm way without bashing either side which is very refreshing.
Whether you agree with him or not, I believe that Winsler would be a fantastic voice to add to the Steemit community. He has 15K followers, has videos with hundreds of thousands of views, but you know he hasn't made a penny off of them.
What do you think? Join the discussion & let’s get Gray on Steemit!
Please watch the video and post your thoughts in the comments. It is only 10 minutes long.
Please also like and comment on the video on Youtube, reach out to him on Twitter (https://twitter.com/GrayWinsler) and let him know that you came across his video on Steemit.
What do you think, should we use the comments to invite him over to steemit? We'd be doing him a favour!
I can’t do it alone though, we need to work together! Let's get a spirited discussion going on this issue :)
