Here's an excellent, though lengthy, 26:43 video about problem solving in general and then applying it to the national gun control debate. The author spends most of the first half discussing general problem solving that could be applied in many contexts. Most of the second half gets into some of the details and fallacies of the post-Sandy Hook gun control debate. He filmed and published this on January 1st - approx. 3 weeks after the shooting. In it he addresses some of the statistics and problems in the pro-gun control arguments that it took others much longer to find and expand or comment upon. In the 21st century viral world we live in, I'm surprised it has relatively few viewings - in the low 4k range. Perhaps he suffers from lack of a broad audience, or people are put off by his YouTube name or the "Stupid" part of the video's title, or aren't willing to invest the time it takes to view the whole thing. I'm actually surprised by the "Stupid..." title. I don't think he uses that word in his presentation, which is rational, reasoned and methodical. If you have an interest in the debate, this is worth watching.
I don't know who this guy is. This is the first of his videos I've seen.
