Paranoia and situational awareness are two very different things. If you're eyebanging literally every person you see trying to figure out if they're armed, you're paranoid. If you're just keeping your eyes up and you're passively taking note of people or things that stand out in your environment, you're situationally aware.
I'm speaking from 10 years in law enforcement in Texas. Citizens having guns and being able to protect themselves really makes a positive difference in two ways. 1) Because of the proliferation of carrying guns in Texas it really does reduce the likelihood of guns being used to victimize the populous. 2) Citizens have stopped crimes from completion keeping them there until we arrive and at other times literally defending themselves in their homes. The problem with the removal of guns from a public safety prospective is that when someone is breaking into your house in the middle of the night and you call 911 with lights and sirens it will take us 10-15 minutes to arrive. That is simply too long when seconds count. Everytime I see people who are victimized it kills me because I can't get there fast enough or they didn't have a way to prevent it or stop it. When citizens take care of themselves it really makes me happy. I do not believe the thought you are more likely to be killed by your own gun. I have never seen that in my 10 years as a cop. I do not believe everyone should get a firearm. If you don't like firearms or are nervous you are better off to find another solution and you are free to choose. Why are people determine to remove the choice of defense for people who desire it? You cannot tell people to be open minded when you yourself are closed minded to other people's beliefs.
Didn't you guys have a pretty well-known massacre like 2-3 months ago? Umm, you do realize if you're in your house and you can hear someone breaking in a knife is better for CQCB. Except you know when people are breaking into your home its more than likely to steal your tv, which isn't really worth anyone dying over with homeowners insurance? You don't believe people kill themselves with their guns? That seems like a stretch as someone that's been on a police force for 10 years. Only within the last five or so years was the 2nd amendment expanded from its original purpose of being used in a "well-regulated militia" to being construed as being used as a defensive weapon. So if you're arguing I'm closed minded because I stick to the original wording of the constitution then so be it.
@@jacoblee9455 If someone breaks in with a knife and you have a gun it is highly unlikely they will make it close enough for CQB. I would rather see them flee when the gun is presented rather than have to drop them, but someone breaks in your house with a weapon they are asking for trouble. Sadly people do kill themselves with their guns, but they do so much more frequently with their cars. In my whole life guns have been for self defense 36 years btw.
Because nobody has ever been bludgeoned to death with a round, cylindrical object, like say.. a fire extinguisher, right? Spray some of that fire distinguishing media into your mouth and see how well it goes for you. (By the way, this happens all the the time, and it's usually by kids). The point is, no gun is spontaneously "jumping" into the hands of law-abiding citizens and firing at your family. A gun does what it is DIRECTED to do. Guns don't kill people, people kill people, and accidental deaths account for waaay more cases every year than from firearm deaths.
Is that it? My argument is so pathetic that it should easy to poke holes in, but you still haven't defended your position at all? Emotion is not an argument..

At the very minimum places you on even ground with your attacker and in the best of circumstances you've trained with that firearm so much you know it inside and out and it places you leaps and bounds above your attacker in chances of survival strictly speaking.
Know Nothing: Early in our marriage, my wife was uncertain as to whether or not she could actually shoot someone if she needed to. Then one night our dogs aroused her to the fact that someone was in our back yard messing around with our things. She came bolt upright and awake, gripping a revolver. She no longer has any doubts. In case you are wondering, the intruder fled our back yard after hearing the dogs barking.
Again if you are not pracricing drawing it from concealment in a fast motion and pacifying the aggressor then you are hopeless no point in having a gun
Also even if you can do all that its a risk, what if he draws faster than i do, what if he pulls a knife, the gun doesnt gurantee anything other than a fighting chance

If memory serves, it's like 60-70% popular. **Edit- but there's no need to limit this exercise to Canada's gun control system. A reasonable person could find any number of things worth emulating that are in no way related to gun legislation.
I used to think like these kids when I was that young. Then was confronted with real visceral violence and realized “holy shit, there’s no way the cops will ever show up in time” took them 19 minutes to respond to a home invasion in a city that had over 1 million people? Look at the court cases where people have sued the cops for failing to protect them. They’ve set precedent that says it’s not the cops job to protect you. It’s their job to enforce laws. It’s MY responsibility to keep me safe.
more likely to die in a car accident, check. more likely to die from heart disease, check. more likely to die from alcohol, check. seems like we need less guns to defend our selves and more car and health safety. This scare mongering is all done by the gun manufacturing industry to sell more guns.
One phrase that I always respond with whenever people ask me if concealed carrying is a necessity is “I’d rather have it and not need it, than need it and both have it.” It’s about being prepared for the worst possible scenario, and having the tools to deescalate that event or stop the threat if necessary.
I agree, USCCA has videos where they interview gun owners who used them to protect themselves and their families. People don't think about being attacked and having to deal with that.
@@TheSMR1969ot everyone has one. Not everyone knows if you do. Not everyone has training even if they do have a gun.

@@prof113 you don't need Training to use a gun, point and shoot, this isn't a combat situation were things will be at a distance, majority of self defense will be close range, accuracy is meaningless it's not increasing your odds though, statistics show that the US has far higher gun crime and mass shootings and overall crime in general than majority of developed nations (most gun crime and mass shootings by far) so this idea that guns make society safer is just nonsense. The solution is the problem, people think we'll criminals have guns so I need to, not realising two things, first it's easy access to guns that give criminals such easy access in the first place as places with strict gun control in Europe have incredibly low gun crime even in organised crime and secondly you're not protecting yourself if the other person has a gun aswell, you're just increasing the chances you both die. So best things for self defense is strict gun control with maybe a tazer or pepper spray, but the research and statistics is pretty clear, if I was in America I'd be armed purely because the majority of others are, but in Europe I don't need to be, and this is reflected in gun crime statistics, so you can support the second amendment all you like but don't try and say that guns make society safer because they very clearly have the opposite effect..
How many people actually use the spare tire in the vehicles? Not that many compared to the number of spare tires. According to this video, we shouldn't have spare tires anymore.

Logan Sloan Why would this logic apply to both, when they're entirely different situations? The problem with this logic is that spare tires are meant to resolve a non-violent problem whereas guns are tools for injury.
Exactly. Same reason people have fire extinguishers. The overwhelmingly vast majority of people will never need to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire in their home, but boy it sure is nice knowing you have an option if you're ever put in that situation. Same thing with guns. The vast majority of people won't need to use a gun for self defense but it is FAR more comforting knowing I have a means of protection on me IF that time ever comes. @Naomi - Why is it that ignorant people like you always use the defense of "well guns are tools of injury" or "but guns are BUILT to kill"? So what? Are you so naive and oblivious that you honestly don't think there is EVER a time or situation where you might NEED to injure or kill someone to PREVENT THEM from injuring or killing YOU? Maybe you should crawl out of your safe space and recognize the real world.

@Jedd Slaven Ever heard of St Louis Jane Doe? Well she's a unidentified 8-11 year old who was killed, raped, and decapitated. Her head has never been found so we don't know who she was.

you can always depend on the left to use kids like the girl in the white dress that has no clue what she is talking about. "the world our parents left us" what a crock our parents didn't make the world worse it was the liberals, ACLU, and the judicial system that slaps a hand and says don't do that for a criminals first arrest and second adding some probation and then the third time oh lets rehabilitate him/her. Oh I guess some parents did leave it worse mine didn't. I had the kind that if you did anything wrong your ass was theirs. These whinny kids they use are kids of liberals I'm sure. My kids got their butts spanked like I got mine when I grew up also my kids well they know how to respect people and life as well as a gun. My father started teaching me about guns at 8 years old by 19 I had a small collection already started most have now been handed off to my kids but not all.
@@rogerhancock8732 That was the most idiotic rant I have ever read... If you really cared (or even could understand) how the world works, then you wouldn't have written that shit. My granddad (and dad) started teaching me about guns when I was 4-5 years old. My granddad was a sniper in Finnish army during the second world war, and spent abt 5 years in the front, serving in two wars. He was promoted and awarded with medals several times, including the "cross of freedom" and killed countless of russians with his sniper rifle and with submachine gun. My dad didn't have to go to war, but since we have mandatory military service here, he is also a trained killer. Everyone here is, and everyone also knows how to use guns from assault rifles to anti-tank weapons...We started with a .22 rifle, then came pistols (they were Nagants that my granddad took from dead russian officers that he had shot) and shotguns and 7,62 rifles etc... Both me and my dad got spanked when were little, but it is a thing from the past, that doesn't teach kids anything, so that cycle broke when I had my kids - no spanking, just learning and love and it has worked just as good, if not even better. However... NONE of these things have NOTHING to do with this video. It isn't politicly motivated in any way - it is just REPORTING... I can't believe how stupid some people can get... Hey, I'll bet that you don't have college education, right???
My mother defended my 3 siblings and myself from a drugged up bad guy trying to force entry into our home when I was 9 years old.... she repelled his attack by firing a single shot. The round struck the intruder and he fled as a result.
The issue is the culture. NRA appeals to the simplicity of it all. Go out on a weekend and shoot at a human target. They don't teach you to read the room, react to actual dangers, etc. They just paint this vivid image in your head that any stressful situation or show of aggression is life or death. It takes weekly training to be able to effectively react to a stressful situation. Something a large number of gun owners won't do, nor is their proper qualified classes for it. The NRA is just bad for gun owners in general. They overhype ownership and make gun ownership an emotional thing rather than a tool. The day US fixes its gun problem is the day when gun owners actually understand the complexities of self-defense and it's not always drawing for the pistol.
Amazingly put. I can’t stand hearing the NRA’s speeches. It’s fear mongering, and frankly grosses me out. I’m a gun owner, and I support the Second Amendment, but never in my life will I willingly support the NRA as an organization, or take their advice on how to handle situations. To me, all of it seems utterly irresponsible. they make it out to seem like having a gun will put you in control of every situation, no matter your level of training, and they hook new members on their sob lines about protecting your family. The truth is, without that proper training and understanding, you will most likely be shaking in your boots if something ever happens. I just hate gun culture here in the US. It’s basically a dick measuring contest, instead of being seen as a tool. I admit it’s fun to shoot, and it’s actually the main reason I purchased one in the first place. But you can’t sell that end all be all protection facade to people who really end up needing proper training as well.
This video completely ignores the CDC study on defensive gun use, that shows between 500,000 and up to 2,500,000 times a year a gun is used in self defense without being fired. Instead they only count defensive gun use that results in a death to compare to murders with a gun.

@David Dooley Progressivism means supporting policies which make you look superior, morally and intellectually. This is why the policies themselves do not achieve the results they claim they are designed to produce. Liberalism is nothing more than a brand to make the liberal appear as though their social status is higher than others, nothing more, they don't actually care about people, they only care about appearing as though they care about people because that somehow makes them look like good people.
Actually, there are parts of California that are very politically conservative. Anaheim, for example, is a sizable city that votes more conservatively than Texas’ larger cities. It would be more precise to liken Austin to San Francisco...that’s a better comparison.

algierssolja a noble, if not tired & old, sentiment, but a greater concern arises when one considers carrying a cop for their personal protection, besides it being impractical and unrealistic, many if not most cops cannot be trusted and ALL cops, as ALL humans, are fallible, and then there’s the whole issue of outsourcing the responsibility of one’s own personal safety to a third-party, let alone the GOVERNMENT. Think about it. I’d much rather be responsible for my own safety and carry the appropriate tools for the mission. Cops already do that so why shouldn’t we?

I'm in another isle and I'm watching him. He comes back up to me and starts asking me more personal details. Do I live alone am I dating someone do I have family and friends nearby and so on. I give him vague or false answers. I try and leave again and he follows me. I stay in the main isles and he stops me to talk.

We live in a country with deep poverty that's awash in guns. That is what is unsafe. That is a deadly combo. The guys who tried to rob me almost certainly would not have done that if they were economically ok or had any hope for their futures. The gun is an almost irrelevant part of most gun crime.

I think that the real wisdom in self defense and concealed carry is being prepared to use a gun but also being prepared not to use it. I see self defense with a firearm as a last resort, especially as a firearm user, hunter, and concealed carry supporter myself. However, as a concealed carry permit holder, it is the carrier's responsibility to be able to keep their wits about them and make a quick decision in a very high pressure moment, and this is something that is very hard to prepare for.
It's sort of like in a MMA gym the person most likely to hurt you is the newer guy who knows just enough to hurt someone, but hasn't learned enough to realize their own power.

But I will NOT allow anyone to harm me or mine. And yes, I have actually put a great deal of thought into how horrific it would be to shoot someone. How difficult it would be to make a shoot / don't shoot decision while an adrenaline rush narrows my vision and dampens my hearing. How unacceptable it would be to make any sort of firearm-related error...
1:47 The fact that you're assuming people arm themselves out of fear, before you've even spoken to a single person there, show your obvious bias. 10:12, your claim here is absolutely preposterous, because you're not talking about the counterfactual. It doesn't matter that criminals use guns more often than guns are used defensively. What matters is that if you don't have a gun, you cannot defend yourself in that situation, which makes it objectively worse. According to the CDC (link below), there are " 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses each year." That's potentially 60, 00o to 2.5 million deaths or serious injuries that were PREVENTED because of defensive uses of firearms! And those stats are from the CDC, for God's sake www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/firearms/fastfact.html
huh?! this story shows an nra advertisement that uses fear and also there are parts of this convention/panels using it. please tell me a reason why you have to carry in public other than self defense (= out of fear of being attacked)? if you need a gun for hunting or just sport shooting, you can do that. here in germany we have gun clubs and also you can go hunting if you have the permits. nobody but the police is carrying guns in public and that makes me feel safer.

It was an aweful comparison. Her analogy would have been accurate if she said 'the risk for people to be drowned in a pool would increase 100x'. As she said: 'the risk for people to drown in a pool would increase 100x' you have to compare it to the increased risk of getting shot with a gun in your house AND the increased risk of commiting suicide with a gun in the house (and does that risk increase severly) if a gun is present in the household. If those risks (gun & pool deaths) are equal (or close) her analogy would've been good.
You only need a license in most of these pro gun states if you want to conceal carry. Check each state individually but mine you can open carry all day no license.
It does my heart good to see women wanting to take charge of their own protection instead of relying on the police or someone else to do it for them. It's too bad that not everyone thinks this way.

It’s rare,certainly a lot rarer than gun manufacturers and their marketing departments would have you believe.

That's why people need to learn the system of alertness as in the Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red levels. Green absolute knowledge of no threat. Yellow attentiveness of surroundings, not using phones in public and looking around. Orange meant for hospitals, banks and high risk areas which attention is needed. And Red, there is an immediate threat and action is needed to survive the situation or encounter.
Yup. I just got my first ar 15 and first firearm. The first time I was driving back from the range to break it in, I drove by a crime scene where a homeowner was taken hostage in his home. I live in a very quiet and safe suburban neighborhood in New Jersey
Dial 911 because when seconds count, the police are minutes away! Cops are usually great people. I support good cops. Unfortunately the reality is that police rarely stop crime before it is committed. They do a great job at documenting crime scenes and often catching the criminal. I forget who originally said this (to paraphrase), "I carry a pistol because I can't carry a cop "
The chances of things actually getting to that point to anyone... ever in their life, is statically SO fucking unlikely. This is just making women scared so they give you money.

@Epstein didn't Kill him self If you don’t know how to use a gun you won’t have time to figure it out. And while you are figuring it out the attacker will charge and take the gun to use it against you.
The difference being that you need a car but not a gun. In 2019 40 000 people died in car accidents in the us compared to the 15 000 that got shot. In a normal country like france or germany only around 100 people get shot so its easy to avoid these thousands of deaths by applying common sense and ban firearms.
@Kyle Mortensen funny you would say that without even knowing the homicide statistics. In the us there are 5.0 or 5.3 per 100.000 people depending on the source while in france for example it is 1.3 in the uk it is 1.2 in germany it is 0.9 and in norway it is only 0.5. So as you can see the homicide rate of the us is way higher than it is in other developed first world countries. And that mostly because of its loose gun restrictions.
@Kyle Mortensen i dont fear firearms in fact i find them quite intersting and fun but there is a difference between finding something interesting and beeing able to undestand how dangerous it is for a society
Tommy Northwood MLK applied for his license to carry a handgun and was denied by the states racist gun control laws. Try again. Also Ida B Wells was a prominent civil rights leader. If you haven’t heard of her you’re simply ignorant of the civil rights movement in this country.
@@tommynorthwood you seem to forget that firearms are a necessity of self defense when it comes to systematic racism enforced by the state. Look up the Huey P. Newton, the black panther party and what they were doing to help the black community. Look up the Mulford Act and the 1968 Gun Control Act, which were both intended to disarm black Americans and strip them of their right to self defense because the white ruling class saw them as threatening. MLK being the only face of the civil rights movement is erasure of the real struggle that black people went through. It neglects to tell people that to this very day the same racist authoritarian gun control is in place and being expanded which historically is used over and over to disarm and oppress anyone that the state and the rich ruling class deems a threat.
“Have you ever actually used your gun”...c’mon, common sense, it’s better to have it not need it than need it and not have it. It’s called being prepared.

Your argument seems to make Sense, but it actually isn‘t that simple. The fact that you have a weapon ready to use will put you in more situations in which you want to use the weapon, or it will escalate situations where a weapon wouldn’t be needed. It will make you think of every situation as a potentially dangerous situation and therefore make more situations potentially dangerous, since other people can own guns as well and think the same way. If you pull a gun on somebody who also has a gun, definitely one if not both of you will die. If neither of you had a gun, the worst case is a fist fight. You will put your own life at a Risk by owning a weapon. Same with knifes: in a knife fight one person dies on the spot and the other one on the way to the hospital. You are in way less risk, if you don’t carry weapons. Think about it. I would like to hear your opinion on this!
@@aarondohlen or it can cause a bad situation to never happen because the person who intended to commit the crime sees the weapon and decides risking it isn't worth the possibility of being shot. As far as making them illegal, all that does is create a huge black market and putting them in only the wrong hands. Same as the prohibition did with alcohol it caused more dangerous improperly made alcohol to be made and distributed and caused more gang violence because of the huge black market outlawing it created
What was he doing standing there anyway in front of a bunch of kids. It really smacks of intimidation, their kids, learning about public discourse and civic duty. It just seems tone deaf to show up at a rally with gun violence in schools and stand there intimidating kids with a gun like that. For context, I'm a service member that served honorably for six years during the Iraq war. I've been a member of the NRA for several years. I own fire arms, trained and responsibly store them. Have and maintain a CPL. Fire arms are not toys, and they're not to intimidate unarmed children.
“If guns are what’s making people unsafe then adding more of them to the equation is not a good idea”-some naiive high schooler who hasn’t heard of socio economic and mental health issues before

If you wanna get into a bare knuckle brawl with some psychopath or a fkn bear with a couple cubs nearby.. be my guest! But that isn't how I'd chose to defend myself, and that is my right. It's a shame they have such distain for what previous generations fought to give us. Mistakes were made through out history, but giving us the right to bear arms is not one of them.
Dude I am all about gun rights. I know that a gun locked in a safe in a locked room in the basement is not going to help protect your family when a guy kicks in your front door. Just because I don't agree with the overall message doesn't mean she is not good at what she does. I listened to the entire thing. I read comments, it sparked thoughts, I think she did her job.
I dont understand what the point of having a gun is if you keep it locked up in a safe? Where are they getting this idea that guns should be locked up? Are you going to tell the criminal to hold on while you go get your gun from the safe and load it? The logic here does not work?
Someone please show me where a "gun" went on a killing spree. U can't u no y cuz gu s don't kill people a person has to the trigger in order for it to go off and some guns r even drop safe and for the case of lil kids and owning guns if u teach ur kids about them properly and show them they r not toys then no accidents will happen 1 universal rule wen it comes to guns allows treat the gun as if i t was loaded every if u cleared it and it has no mag or clip in it. So making a law to lock up guns thats just fucking stupid and wen it comes to the mass shootings doesn't have to do with the guns it has to do to the fact of how the people were treated growing up or mental health for example the combine shooting in the 90's they were outsiders who had hardly any friends and were picked on thats y they went on a killing spree the shooting at the church i think it was in Texas had to do with losing his wife and mental health the D.C Sniper was a military trained man who went on a killing spree to kill his ex wife not one i repeat not 1 of those guns grew fucking legs and went on killing sprees so stronger gun laws isn't the answer mental health care is. I live in AZ how of the wild wild west and we love it that way so does Texas.
Guns are just a tool, and like all tools, they can be replaced. Criminals can use knives bombs cars, swords, rocks, and poison. With the increase in technology and the ability for people to build things at home easily new kinds of weapons can be made unregulated. Rather than focusing on the tools, we should be focusing on the people who did it. But besides crime has been falling for the past decades despite what popular belief is, statistics show a trend that violent crime is falling despite any major gun ban being passed this means guns are not the problem the people are.
When everyone and I mean EVERYONE including the govt gives up their guns, I'll hand mine too. But we all know that's never gonna happen. It's not about "feeling safe", its about having a force multiplier and chance to survive an attack or assault.
“So I went to Texas, heart of gun culture in America”. Actually top 3 most gun free states are Arizona, Alaska and Wyoming. Quick google search would show you Texas ain’t even in the top 10.
I think MT, ID, OK and KS are also up there. But gun culture is HUGE in Texas. They may have stricter laws and such but that doesn’t mean people still don’t enjoy or want to carry/use/have guns.
Noble Nomad Responsible journalism covers both sides of the story, not just the side that makes you feel good about yourself. You will note, of course, that they approached the NRA who waived their right to comment.
@@thethirdman225 note how at the end of the video they never discuss how many lives are saved by guns as well by defensive use. NRA probably doesn't care to speak anymore or they lied about trying to contact who knows but it rubs me the wrong way that they failed to include that info. It's biased it didn't start that way but it shows.
@@thebardock6785 *_"note how at the end of the video they never discuss how many lives are saved by guns as well by defensive use"_* I don't even know where to start with this. The gun lobby is still quoting the same discredited 500,000 - 2 million DGUs per year and most people who quote it claim that equals 500,000 to 2 million lives saved, which is a massive leap of faith to say the least. More recent and credible research puts the figure much lower. The NCVS, which examines every crime on a case-by-case basis reports around 65,000 per year. Even that does not equate to 65,000 lives saved because we simply don't have enough information to make that judgement.. *_"NRA probably doesn't care to speak anymore or they lied about trying to contact "_* This is ridiculous. No credible outlet is ever going to do that. The first the NRA would do is call them out on it. It seems that everyone here has the same problem: you simply can't tolerate balanced reporting. By balanced I mean showing both sides of the story. You regard that as bias, lies, agenda-driven, irresponsible...call it what you will. You only want your side covered. Anyone with a better than room-temperature IQ can see that the reporter here not only approached the gun range but the NRA as well, giving the gun lobby not one but two opportunities to speak. I would say that would have given the gun lobby well over half the air time, granting them a slightly unfair advantage. Journalism is reporting what some people don't want to hear. Everything else is salesmanship (Hearst).
@@thethirdman225 so you consider Vice a credible outlet? Sorry but they lost all credibility a long time ago. You can argue with the numbers but they are still there and they shouldn't be discarded. Idk about the NRA but at some point in time you really just don't have the time to sit with people who just want to turn your words around.
@@thethirdman225 The numbers of defensive gun uses (DGUs) each year is controversial. But one study ordered by the CDC and conducted by The National Academies’ Institute of Medicine and National Research Council reported that, “Defensive use of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence”: Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008. Another study estimates there are 1,029,615 DGUs per year “for self-protection or for the protection of property at home, work, or elsewhere” excluding “military service, police work, or work as a security guard,” (within the range of the National Academies’ paper), yielding an estimate of 162,000 cases per year where someone “almost certainly would have been killed” if they “had not used a gun for protection.” (In comparison, there were 11,208 homicide deaths by firearm in the US in 2012. There were a total of 33,636 deaths due to “injury by firearms,” of which the majority were suicides, 21,175.) In short the numbers are still there and they shouldn't be descreditded or disregarded. It should also be noted that many gun violence numbers often include suicide itself. I don't if they don't cover my side by journalism should always stay neutral....im watching this to get a different perspective but when they don't include the other side then how can I possibly consider them credible? Anyway take care but you have to agree that's info that shouldn't be tossed aside
10:51 imagine going on a walk and getting attacked "oh wait mr mugger, let me go home real quick to unlock my gun safe and then load my gun so i can defend my self"
@TRMads Syria, Afghanistan, Vietnam. Non of these worked did they? America lost. See in a capitalist society we only view the price tag of war not the victims. But is the victims the rise up and take over. Vietnam - American tryed to get rid of communism ( no one know why ) they lost and now is communist. Afghanistan - American supplies and helps the Taliban, the Taliban refuse to give someone up. They go in try to take over and then the Taliban take over second after they leave. Syria - American just bombed the hell out of everything and left the place in ruins. The only reason Isis came about is because American and the UK where funding the current political party of which was killing is own people. Violence doesn't solve violence
@TRMads the problem is American pokes is noise where it doesn't belong all the time. Why does it need to change communist country's in to democracy? It doesn't. Why does it need to free the Afghanistan people, it doesn't and if it wanted to violence doesn't help. The problem with American is it try's to solve everything with more violence, instead of thinking about the people on the ground. Let's take Vietnam, 1st why where they in there? 2nd how is trying to convince the people of a country that your country is better by bombing them? Also morally, they wanted to free the woman of Afghanistan yet they supply arms to Dubai? And buy there oil?
10:18 the studies is a joke did they even look at the premise? women more likely to be murdered by a man with a gun then use a gun in self defense, 1st they distort the wording to suggest that the man would take the gun from the woman, when clearly the wording suggest that the man already has a gun, 2nd, they narrowed the perimeters to kill attacker with a gun as if the only outcome of a woman defending herself from an attacker would end in her killing the attacker with a gun? the reality is the second a woman brandishes the gun 95% of attacker will turn and run with out a single shot being fired,4% who were shot at would live and may only suffer minor injury and the rare 1% will take the gun from the woman, and that rare 1% would have raped and killed the woman even if she had been with out a gun.
Thank you. That was the dumbest attempt at presenting statistics by Vice to support a bullshit narrative. The frustrating part is how many dipshits will buy right into it.
I wonder what is the ratio of men murdering women without a gun vs. women without a gun killing a man in self-defense. I'll bet it's a lot higher than a hundred. Men are just plain more violent, whether it's fists, hands, feet, blunt objects, knives or guns - men are larger and more violent. An example of lying with statistics - cherry-picking, out of context. Another example of the inherent dishonesty of the gun-control crowd.
10:14 say that again “women are 100 times more likely to be killed by someone else with a gun” common sense tells me well, you just proved women being armed is a strong point.
lol love the way they compare numbers without actually comparing them. "12 to 17 million women in the US who carry while only around 275 thousand women carry in CA" Canada's population is around 35 million and the US is around 350 million. More people live in California then all of Canada. Use real numbers.

I'm speaking from 10 years in law enforcement in Texas. Citizens having guns and being able to protect themselves really makes a positive difference in two ways.
1) Because of the proliferation of carrying guns in Texas it really does reduce the likelihood of guns being used to victimize the populous.
2) Citizens have stopped crimes from completion keeping them there until we arrive and at other times literally defending themselves in their homes.
The problem with the removal of guns from a public safety prospective is that when someone is breaking into your house in the middle of the night and you call 911 with lights and sirens it will take us 10-15 minutes to arrive. That is simply too long when seconds count. Everytime I see people who are victimized it kills me because I can't get there fast enough or they didn't have a way to prevent it or stop it. When citizens take care of themselves it really makes me happy.
I do not believe the thought you are more likely to be killed by your own gun. I have never seen that in my 10 years as a cop.
I do not believe everyone should get a firearm. If you don't like firearms or are nervous you are better off to find another solution and you are free to choose. Why are people determine to remove the choice of defense for people who desire it?
You cannot tell people to be open minded when you yourself are closed minded to other people's beliefs.

Except you know when people are breaking into your home its more than likely to steal your tv, which isn't really worth anyone dying over with homeowners insurance? You don't believe people kill themselves with their guns? That seems like a stretch as someone that's been on a police force for 10 years. Only within the last five or so years was the 2nd amendment expanded from its original purpose of being used in a "well-regulated militia" to being construed as being used as a defensive weapon. So if you're arguing I'm closed minded because I stick to the original wording of the constitution then so be it.
@@jacoblee9455 If someone breaks in with a knife and you have a gun it is highly unlikely they will make it close enough for CQB.

Sadly people do kill themselves with their guns, but they do so much more frequently with their cars. In my whole life guns have been for self defense 36 years btw.

A gun is like a fire extinguisher. It's better to have one and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
J. Gona absolutely
A gun is like a fire extinguisher that kills your child.
Because nobody has ever been bludgeoned to death with a round, cylindrical object, like say.. a fire extinguisher, right? Spray some of that fire distinguishing media into your mouth and see how well it goes for you. (By the way, this happens all the the time, and it's usually by kids). The point is, no gun is spontaneously "jumping" into the hands of law-abiding citizens and firing at your family. A gun does what it is DIRECTED to do. Guns don't kill people, people kill people, and accidental deaths account for waaay more cases every year than from firearm deaths.

One phrase that I always respond with whenever people ask me if concealed carrying is a necessity is “I’d rather have it and not need it, than need it and both have it.”
It’s about being prepared for the worst possible scenario, and having the tools to deescalate that event or stop the threat if necessary.
I agree, USCCA has videos where they interview gun owners who used them to protect themselves and their families. People don't think about being attacked and having to deal with that.
I can't understand Americans. You massacre children and think it's still okay to carry because one day you might need it, wake up
@@Chill-mm4pn what people don't realise though is that it's not a safety thing, if everyone has as access to one how can it protect you
@@TheSMR1969ot everyone has one. Not everyone knows if you do. Not everyone has training even if they do have a gun. As many have said, I'd rather have the tools I need, know how to use them, and not need them, than the opposite. If you aren't willing to increase your odds of being safe, who do you think will take care of you?
@@prof113 you don't need Training to use a gun, point and shoot, this isn't a combat situation were things will be at a distance, majority of self defense will be close range, accuracy is meaningless
it's not increasing your odds though, statistics show that the US has far higher gun crime and mass shootings and overall crime in general than majority of developed nations (most gun crime and mass shootings by far) so this idea that guns make society safer is just nonsense.
The solution is the problem, people think we'll criminals have guns so I need to, not realising two things, first it's easy access to guns that give criminals such easy access in the first place as places with strict gun control in Europe have incredibly low gun crime even in organised crime and secondly you're not protecting yourself if the other person has a gun aswell, you're just increasing the chances you both die.
So best things for self defense is strict gun control with maybe a tazer or pepper spray, but the research and statistics is pretty clear, if I was in America I'd be armed purely because the majority of others are, but in Europe I don't need to be, and this is reflected in gun crime statistics, so you can support the second amendment all you like but don't try and say that guns make society safer because they very clearly have the opposite effect..

Pigdoc1 sure, if you hate logic, you would say things like that. You know, here is a little secret for you: you can be for gun control and against the bad logic of gun control advocates.....

Exactly. Same reason people have fire extinguishers. The overwhelmingly vast majority of people will never need to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire in their home, but boy it sure is nice knowing you have an option if you're ever put in that situation. Same thing with guns. The vast majority of people won't need to use a gun for self defense but it is FAR more comforting knowing I have a means of protection on me IF that time ever comes.

Are you so naive and oblivious that you honestly don't think there is EVER a time or situation where you might NEED to injure or kill someone to PREVENT THEM from injuring or killing YOU?

My granddad was a sniper in Finnish army during the second world war, and spent abt 5 years in the front, serving in two wars. He was promoted and awarded with medals several times, including the "cross of freedom" and killed countless of russians with his sniper rifle and with submachine gun. My dad didn't have to go to war, but since we have mandatory military service here, he is also a trained killer. Everyone here is, and everyone also knows how to use guns from assault rifles to anti-tank weapons...We started with a .22 rifle, then came pistols (they were Nagants that my granddad took from dead russian officers that he had shot) and shotguns and 7,62 rifles etc...
Both me and my dad got spanked when were little, but it is a thing from the past, that doesn't teach kids anything, so that cycle broke when I had my kids - no spanking, just learning and love and it has worked just as good, if not even better.

The NRA is just bad for gun owners in general. They overhype ownership and make gun ownership an emotional thing rather than a tool. The day US fixes its gun problem is the day when gun owners actually understand the complexities of self-defense and it's not always drawing for the pistol.
The gun problems in America stem from criminals using guns not over eager people trying to defend themselves.

Amazingly put. I can’t stand hearing the NRA’s speeches. It’s fear mongering, and frankly grosses me out. I’m a gun owner, and I support the Second Amendment, but never in my life will I willingly support the NRA as an organization, or take their advice on how to handle situations.
To me, all of it seems utterly irresponsible. they make it out to seem like having a gun will put you in control of every situation, no matter your level of training, and they hook new members on their sob lines about protecting your family.
The truth is, without that proper training and understanding, you will most likely be shaking in your boots if something ever happens.
I just hate gun culture here in the US. It’s basically a dick measuring contest, instead of being seen as a tool.
I admit it’s fun to shoot, and it’s actually the main reason I purchased one in the first place. But you can’t sell that end all be all protection facade to people who really end up needing proper training as well.
This video completely ignores the CDC study on defensive gun use, that shows between 500,000 and up to 2,500,000 times a year a gun is used in self defense without being fired. Instead they only count defensive gun use that results in a death to compare to murders with a gun.

I think that the real wisdom in self defense and concealed carry is being prepared to use a gun but also being prepared not to use it. I see self defense with a firearm as a last resort, especially as a firearm user, hunter, and concealed carry supporter myself. However, as a concealed carry permit holder, it is the carrier's responsibility to be able to keep their wits about them and make a quick decision in a very high pressure moment, and this is something that is very hard to prepare for.
It's sort of like in a MMA gym the person most likely to hurt you is the newer guy who knows just enough to hurt someone, but hasn't learned enough to realize their own power.
Indeed. A lot of people are loudly offering opinions on this subject without first having fully thought it through, and/or without fully understanding the concerns of other people. I first became an EMT in 1989. I have selflessly helped others in countless dangerous situations as an EMT and a Firefighter for decades. The last thing I'd want to do is harm someone. But I will NOT allow anyone to harm me or mine. And yes, I have actually put a great deal of thought into how horrific it would be to shoot someone. How difficult it would be to make a shoot / don't shoot decision while an adrenaline rush narrows my vision and dampens my hearing. How unacceptable it would be to make any sort of firearm-related error...

10:12, your claim here is absolutely preposterous, because you're not talking about the counterfactual. It doesn't matter that criminals use guns more often than guns are used defensively. What matters is that if you don't have a gun, you cannot defend yourself in that situation, which makes it objectively worse. According to the CDC (link below), there are " 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses each year." That's potentially 60, 00o to 2.5 million deaths or serious injuries that were PREVENTED because of defensive uses of firearms! And those stats are from the CDC, for God's sake

That pools and swimming analogy was really smart. Kudos
It was an aweful comparison. Her analogy would have been accurate if she said 'the risk for people to be drowned in a pool would increase 100x'. As she said: 'the risk for people to drown in a pool would increase 100x' you have to compare it to the increased risk of getting shot with a gun in your house AND the increased risk of commiting suicide with a gun in the house (and does that risk increase severly) if a gun is present in the household. If those risks (gun & pool deaths) are equal (or close) her analogy would've been good.
Wait theres only 1 million texans who have guns!? Thought it was like a requirement to be a citizen or somerhing
Everyone knows that every texan was born with an Assault rifle in their mother's placenta.
No, just carrying licenses.
Lmao 1 mil licenses. Not 1 million gun owners
You only need a license in most of these pro gun states if you want to conceal carry. Check each state individually but mine you can open carry all day no license.

You’re more likely to die in a car accident every day then be shot don’t drive
You can’t downplay one problem be displaying another one
The difference being that you need a car but not a gun. In 2019 40 000 people died in car accidents in the us compared to the 15 000 that got shot. In a normal country like france or germany only around 100 people get shot so its easy to avoid these thousands of deaths by applying common sense and ban firearms.
@Kyle Mortensen funny you would say that without even knowing the homicide statistics. In the us there are 5.0 or 5.3 per 100.000 people depending on the source while in france for example it is 1.3 in the uk it is 1.2 in germany it is 0.9 and in norway it is only 0.5. So as you can see the homicide rate of the us is way higher than it is in other developed first world countries. And that mostly because of its loose gun restrictions.
@Kyle Mortensen i dont fear firearms in fact i find them quite intersting and fun but there is a difference between finding something interesting and beeing able to undestand how dangerous it is for a society

MLK being the only face of the civil rights movement is erasure of the real struggle that black people went through. It neglects to tell people that to this very day the same racist authoritarian gun control is in place and being expanded which historically is used over and over to disarm and oppress anyone that the state and the rich ruling class deems a threat.

I agree, I think that allows personal safety, and public safety comes in with training, licenses, and proper use

a gun should be considered as important.
Your argument seems to make Sense, but it actually isn‘t that simple.
The fact that you have a weapon ready to use will put you in more situations in which you want to use the weapon, or it will escalate situations where a weapon wouldn’t be needed.
It will make you think of every situation as a potentially dangerous situation and therefore make more situations potentially dangerous, since other people can own guns as well and think the same way.
If you pull a gun on somebody who also has a gun, definitely one if not both of you will die. If neither of you had a gun, the worst case is a fist fight.
You will put your own life at a Risk by owning a weapon. Same with knifes: in a knife fight one person dies on the spot and the other one on the way to the hospital. You are in way less risk, if you don’t carry weapons.
Think about it. I would like to hear your opinion on this!
@@aarondohlen or it can cause a bad situation to never happen because the person who intended to commit the crime sees the weapon and decides risking it isn't worth the possibility of being shot. As far as making them illegal, all that does is create a huge black market and putting them in only the wrong hands. Same as the prohibition did with alcohol it caused more dangerous improperly made alcohol to be made and distributed and caused more gang violence because of the huge black market outlawing it created

Dude I am all about gun rights. I know that a gun locked in a safe in a locked room in the basement is not going to help protect your family when a guy kicks in your front door. Just because I don't agree with the overall message doesn't mean she is not good at what she does. I listened to the entire thing. I read comments, it sparked thoughts, I think she did her job.
I dont understand what the point of having a gun is if you keep it locked up in a safe? Where are they getting this idea that guns should be locked up? Are you going to tell the criminal to hold on while you go get your gun from the safe and load it? The logic here does not work?
I get your point, but what if a child to get a hold of it. Yes there is gun locks and other ways to safely store them, but I digress
Safes aren’t that hard to get into if you keep a little one in your room with a handgun you can easily access it for home defense
Its a liberal agenda. Some people view guns as voilent things and some see it as a tool.
Someone please show me where a "gun" went on a killing spree. U can't u no y cuz gu s don't kill people a person has to the trigger in order for it to go off and some guns r even drop safe and for the case of lil kids and owning guns if u teach ur kids about them properly and show them they r not toys then no accidents will happen 1 universal rule wen it comes to guns allows treat the gun as if i t was loaded every if u cleared it and it has no mag or clip in it. So making a law to lock up guns thats just fucking stupid and wen it comes to the mass shootings doesn't have to do with the guns it has to do to the fact of how the people were treated growing up or mental health for example the combine shooting in the 90's they were outsiders who had hardly any friends and were picked on thats y they went on a killing spree the shooting at the church i think it was in Texas had to do with losing his wife and mental health the D.C Sniper was a military trained man who went on a killing spree to kill his ex wife not one i repeat not 1 of those guns grew fucking legs and went on killing sprees so stronger gun laws isn't the answer mental health care is. I live in AZ how of the wild wild west and we love it that way so does Texas.
Blame the gun control lobby for pushing laws that are designed more to harass gun owners than to promote public safety.
Guns have the capability to take lives, but what decides if the gun kills someone is the person behind the trigger. BE SAFE PEOPLE!!!
I mean that same person would've killed themselves somehow anyways 🤷♂️ glad they had a tool available which made it quick and painless
Guns are just a tool, and like all tools, they can be replaced. Criminals can use knives bombs cars, swords, rocks, and poison. With the increase in technology and the ability for people to build things at home easily new kinds of weapons can be made unregulated. Rather than focusing on the tools, we should be focusing on the people who did it. But besides crime has been falling for the past decades despite what popular belief is, statistics show a trend that violent crime is falling despite any major gun ban being passed this means guns are not the problem the people are.
When everyone and I mean EVERYONE including the govt gives up their guns, I'll hand mine too. But we all know that's never gonna happen. It's not about "feeling safe", its about having a force multiplier and chance to survive an attack or assault.

@@thebardock6785
*_"note how at the end of the video they never discuss how many lives are saved by guns as well by defensive use"_*
I don't even know where to start with this. The gun lobby is still quoting the same discredited 500,000 - 2 million DGUs per year and most people who quote it claim that equals 500,000 to 2 million lives saved, which is a massive leap of faith to say the least. More recent and credible research puts the figure much lower. The NCVS, which examines every crime on a case-by-case basis reports around 65,000 per year. Even that does not equate to 65,000 lives saved because we simply don't have enough information to make that judgement..
*_"NRA probably doesn't care to speak anymore or they lied about trying to contact "_*
This is ridiculous. No credible outlet is ever going to do that. The first the NRA would do is call them out on it.
It seems that everyone here has the same problem: you simply can't tolerate balanced reporting. By balanced I mean showing both sides of the story. You regard that as bias, lies, agenda-driven, irresponsible...call it what you will. You only want your side covered. Anyone with a better than room-temperature IQ can see that the reporter here not only approached the gun range but the NRA as well, giving the gun lobby not one but two opportunities to speak. I would say that would have given the gun lobby well over half the air time, granting them a slightly unfair advantage. Journalism is reporting what some people don't want to hear. Everything else is salesmanship (Hearst).
@@thethirdman225 so you consider Vice a credible outlet? Sorry but they lost all credibility a long time ago. You can argue with the numbers but they are still there and they shouldn't be discarded. Idk about the NRA but at some point in time you really just don't have the time to sit with people who just want to turn your words around.
@@thethirdman225 The numbers of defensive gun uses (DGUs) each year is controversial. But one study ordered by the CDC and conducted by The National Academies’ Institute of Medicine and National Research Council reported that, “Defensive use of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence”:
Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.
Another study estimates there are 1,029,615 DGUs per year “for self-protection or for the protection of property at home, work, or elsewhere” excluding “military service, police work, or work as a security guard,” (within the range of the National Academies’ paper), yielding an estimate of 162,000 cases per year where someone “almost certainly would have been killed” if they “had not used a gun for protection.”
(In comparison, there were 11,208 homicide deaths by firearm in the US in 2012. There were a total of 33,636 deaths due to “injury by firearms,” of which the majority were suicides, 21,175.)
In short the numbers are still there and they shouldn't be descreditded or disregarded. It should also be noted that many gun violence numbers often include suicide itself. I don't if they don't cover my side by journalism should always stay neutral....im watching this to get a different perspective but when they don't include the other side then how can I possibly consider them credible? Anyway take care but you have to agree that's info that shouldn't be tossed aside

Vietnam - American tryed to get rid of communism ( no one know why ) they lost and now is communist.
Afghanistan - American supplies and helps the Taliban, the Taliban refuse to give someone up. They go in try to take over and then the Taliban take over second after they leave.
Syria - American just bombed the hell out of everything and left the place in ruins. The only reason Isis came about is because American and the UK where funding the current political party of which was killing is own people.
Violence doesn't solve violence
@TRMads the problem is American pokes is noise where it doesn't belong all the time. Why does it need to change communist country's in to democracy? It doesn't. Why does it need to free the Afghanistan people, it doesn't and if it wanted to violence doesn't help.
The problem with American is it try's to solve everything with more violence, instead of thinking about the people on the ground.
Let's take Vietnam, 1st why where they in there? 2nd how is trying to convince the people of a country that your country is better by bombing them?

Thank you. That was the dumbest attempt at presenting statistics by Vice to support a bullshit narrative. The frustrating part is how many dipshits will buy right into it.
Fact, 100% of women not carrying a gun during an assault will be assaulted.
I wonder what is the ratio of men murdering women without a gun vs. women without a gun killing a man in self-defense. I'll bet it's a lot higher than a hundred. Men are just plain more violent, whether it's fists, hands, feet, blunt objects, knives or guns - men are larger and more violent. An example of lying with statistics - cherry-picking, out of context. Another example of the inherent dishonesty of the gun-control crowd.
10:14 say that again “women are 100 times more likely to be killed by someone else with a gun” common sense tells me well, you just proved women being armed is a strong point.
They said by a man with a gun, meaning the man with a gun is going to kill her before she can kill him with her gun.
