Good on them though for at least trying to point out fact vs. fiction. In the U.S. there seems to be more people who would rather just point and laugh at Trump then take the time to rationally refute his point of view and it's implications. Maybe once debate season starts...

Brillo might chat a good shit in the quickfire format of a TV interview, but it's far easier to knock something down than it is to build it, especially when you're in your element.

Mr Prof came on expecting to be listened to, Brillo fairly gently asked him to justify his words, particularly in the light of previous comments he made which proved to be wrong, and he folded spectacularly. Personally, I'm ambivalent to both of them and wanted to hear what the Prof had to say.
Its easy to knock something down if it has no foundation. And Prof was in his element - talking economics.

But we allow "free speech" for television, radio, and internet, which were not conceived of at founding. Additionally, at founding, there were no voting rights for women or Indians, and no prohibition against slavery.
The 2d Amendment is what is called an "enumerated right", i.e., one that is affirmatively spelled out. Compare that to the "right of privacy", which is not enumerated, but upon which we base rights to abortion, etc.

I am always suspicious of any politician who wants to control others, regardless of party. All this heavy breathing after a shooting ignores bombs going off elsewhere, and more importantly, the day to day killings that happen in the cities with the strictest gun control run by one party for the last 50 years and whose victims and perpetrators tend to be minorities. Why is that not important? Why don't people demand a change in leadership? Why are we ignoring that guns are trafficked across from Mexico? One of the cities is Obama's hometown; why is that not important?
Taking a tool will do nothing to change that circumstance.

"A quick quiz: In what century did the Supreme Court first rule that people
have an individual right to own guns? The answer is the 21st century. It was
not until 2008 -- the year Barack Obama was elected president -- that the
Court initially ruled that the Constitution imposes serious barriers to gun
control. And it did so only by a narrow 5-4 margin.
To understand the magnitude of that change, go back to 1991, when Chief Justice
Warren Burger, then retired, agreed to an interview on national television. Burger
was a strong conservative, admired on the right, and specifically chosen by
President Richard Nixon to combat what he saw as the Supreme Court's left-wing
activism."

There's very little balanced, both point of view reportage, so what you watch and read reinforces your biases to the point where the other side's position seems madness.
The website quoted is covered here:
www.cjr.org/feature/the_great_right_hype.php
Form that article: "Headline-grabbing exclusives—mostly intercepted e-mails and tweets and attacks on media rivals—have exploded across the web before fizzling under scrutiny. Sexed-up headlines burned above stories too twisted or bland to support them. Quotes were ripped out of context, corrections buried, and important disclosures dismissed."
