Welcome to the Penn and Teller bulletin board, a great place to keep in touch with
fellow Penn & Teller fans or ask questions about the guys. We welcome your thoughts!
You totally missed the mark on that one. Penn and Teller don't use the Bill of Rights to justify gun ownership, as they most likely believe that we have these rights with or without that piece of paper. The right to defend oneself is fundamental, and is something that all people have, regardless of what their government has to say about it.
The really good episodes of Bullshit! are the ones like this. These are the issues that Penn and Teller fell passionate about, so there aren't as many facts and figures. Besides, ethics and statistics have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Hypothetically, I'm sure that you could show Penn and Teller stats showing that one in three houses with guns would suffer an accidental death, and they would still maintain their position because it is the moral thing to do.
I find it refreshing that there are people like Penn and Teller out there who actually stand for something, unlike anyone involved in politics, as most (if not all) of them have traded their principles for power.
