You're right. It should be expanded, instead of the watered down version that the courts have reinterpreted. The NFA should be repealed and the ban on machineguns should be lifted.
@@newwaveinfantry8362 because letting everyone have guns has worked so well in the USA. Enjoy those active shooter school drills, as the rest of the world pisses its collective self laughing at your stupidity
@@Dante.- The puckel guns didn't make it out of prototype phase cuz of the mechanical problems: mostly the fact that the hand crank was bloody useless. It wasn't a machine guns like nowadays.
@@kaiser_suzi_ It doesn't matter that it didn't make it out of prototype, the point is the people who drafted the 2a knew of it's existence and knew guns would become more advanced. It's 2021 and we envision flying cars, computer chip/internet implants in brains, exploring mars, ray/laser guns. You dont think people in 1776 could imagine a fast loading semi auto rifle when there were already attempts at it? That's ridiculous.
Unless Americans change, these laws will still be in place. I can't see that happening anytime soon. In fact they are getting worse rather than better. As far as I can see, things have only escalated.
Why do you talk about it as if it's some sort of inevitability that gun control becomes the norm. If anything, it's the opposite. It's an inevitability that gun rights become the norm worldwide.
I once meet an American who had moved to the UK (where I live) and we said talking about mass shootings. This guy was VERY pro guns and he used that stupid "guns don't kill people, people kill people" line, and I said. "Yeah your right people do kill people... WITH GUNS!!"
To the saner Britons in the comment section: keep well away from passing any law parroting our 2nd Amendment. Let the only people who have guns be the terrorists, Special Branch/es and Army/Navy/Marines. The UK, imho, *must* remain civilised, and not become the insane asylum we are.
Blaming guns for shooting is like blaming your cellphone for your porn addiction, blaming the violin for the bad music, or blaming the steering wheel for your car crash. Guns are simply tools. And like all tools they can be used for good or evil. So educate yourself and your family on how to use this tool properly just like you have to educate yourself with every other tool.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control_in_Brazil "In 2005, a majority of Brazil's population voted against banning the sale of guns and ammunition to civilians in a referendum.[1] Executive Order No. 5.123, of 1 July 2004[9] allowed the Federal Police to confiscate firearms which are not possessed for a valid reason; self-defense was not considered a valid argument.[10] These measures saw mixed results. Initially, the crime rate dropped,[11] but subsequently rose in later years. 2012 marked the highest rate of gun deaths in 35 years for Brazil, eight years after a ban on carrying handguns in public went into effect,[12] and 2016 saw the worst ever death toll from homicide in Brazil, with 61,619 dead.[13] The death toll rose again in 2017 to 63,880, a 3.7% rise from 2016.[14] After the flexibility of guns in 2019 by President Jair Bolsonaro, the number of deaths registered by homicide was 19% lower compared to 2018 (51,558), while in 2019 the registered number was 41,635 being the lowest number of homicide deaths since 2007.[15]" Uh huh,
I once had this argument with an American, and he brought up knife crime in the UK. Difference is, knives have many purposes (cooking, DIY etc) Guns have only 1 purpose = to kill....unless you want to make a bullet stew
They usually bring up knife crime when they are losing the argument, the other one that crops up a lot is " well the UKs violent crime is higher than ours". What they don't seem to grasp is that violent crime in the UK is defined differently than in the U.S. Like pushing and shoving that's classed as a violent crime here. Also have you watched A British Viewpoint On American Gun Control? I suggest you watch it, some of the comments have to be read to be believed. Read the comments in reply to Stella Manurung post, especially the ones by qk1001, Rhys McCartney reply and Mr Guvnah response.
As soon as somebody says a gun's only purpose is to kill you automatically know that's someone speaking from total ignorance and not to be taken seriously.
ChimKook_ Trash a sick person not a normal person, you take our guns away guess what, the crazy people will still have their illegal unmarked guns it’s not going to stop mass murderers
Scorpion Sniper how do you figure? If normal people don’t have there guns and criminals are still getting there’s illegally it’ll make the rate go up if anything. People are more likely to use a gun if there sure no one is going to resist them with a gun of there own

When people blame video games for gun violence among children. Well actually games give us a way to get any anger out of our system and where did that anger come from...

Absolutely. I get rather passionate about gun control, but hearing anyone trying to use video games as a scapegoat is guaranteed to get my blood boiling.

The Second Amendment explicitly states "A *well regulated Militia* , being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." And yet, people argue that an amendment that explicitly states that it has to do with the regulated arming of citizens means that the possession, carrying, etc. of weapons cannot be regulated. The amendment was meant to avoid the issues of a professional army, and its potential for abuse and totalitarianism, by having a trained citizenry that could be called to action to defend the country (and conversely could say "get stuffed" if they didn't want to go shoot at whoever they were being told to go shoot at). Of course, in the age of nuclear weapons, billion dollar stealth bombers, and AWACS systems, a lightly trained corps of marksmen isn't going to work for national defense, but we also don't see soldiers quartered in private homes all that much, either. Some of the amendments haven't aged as well as others, and it's understandably the ones that address the symptom (professional armies, armed government agents bullying homeowners (2nd, 3rd)) instead of the disease (censorship, fanaticism, government arrogation of authority (1st, 1st again, 9th and 10th)).
Also the weapons for the malitias where to be supplied by the federal government and armouries built by the states to store the weapons and training supplied by the states.
The bit that says "the right of the *people* to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is the bit that gives people the right to keep and bear arms, you literally typed out the quote.
@Gary Winthorp I'm hardly a slim jim, believe me! To be fair though, it's a bit silly to bring a fork to a gunfight... But then it raises the question of who let the other lad have a gun?
@Gary Winthorp Listen, I'm not advocating for gun laws in the US, I'm simply saying this is a self-perpetuating issue caused by the fact that, once you allow relatively lax gun laws to exist (coupled with frankly disgraceful levels of institutionally-imposed poverty), then the concept of gun ownership becomes a no-brainer, but once it does, it becomes a no-brainer for criminals to carry guns. It's an arms race, but on a civilian level. As such it is still relevant to ask: "historically, why did we allow this mess to happen in the first place?" Just so you know, I'm a fan of guns in general. I enjoy their history and the engineering behind them, I enjoy shooting them, and I certainly don't agree with banning them, but I just don't live in a country where owning a gun for self-defense is a necessity. However, I used to live in the states, and, as a historian, it really made me wonder how things got so bad over there that gun-ownership became equated with "freedom" because no other country feels the need to do that. Me, I like the feeling of freedom I get from NOT having to own a gun.
@Gary Winthorp Having lived in the US for a number of years, I can say this: you don't know what freedom of speech is. Certain types of Americans blether on and on about their freedoms, but what are those freedoms? You don't have a media system that is state-funded and as such is devoid of advertising and is therefore free to be objective. The freedom to die because you can't grasp the concept of universal healthcare? Your freedom to a media that isn't controlled by the global press like the Murdoch machine? (I mean, really! the amount of libertarians who still support Murdoch Media is embarrassing- don' t you understand how they control you?!). Your freedom to send your kids to a decent school that doesn't cost the earth because there's no state support for decent education? Freedom of speech, sunshine, is the ability to say what you want, but equally it's the ability to think for yourself without your revolting overlords tricking you into supporting their revolting plans that only benefit them.
The 2nd amendment spoke about a well regulated militia. The militia is as defined in the constitution as able bodied men who when called upon BY THE GOVERNMENT to defend, not overthrow it. It was also made during the time of muskets. Guns are protected but ammo is not. Tax and regulate the FUCK out of ammo.
+No No Yeah, youre right. We shouldnt do anything to stop gun deaths. Its not like death is a problem or anything...is it? Oh wait, there is Heaven. I guess its not that big of a problem after all :D *whew* No, but seriously, Im tired of people dying, and people like you doing everything you can to keep *something* from being done. PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DYING!! IM TIRED OF NOTHING BEING DONE!! Weve done nothing, its not worked...what now? Further nothing? Brilliant... Oh, and dont give me that "Arm everyone" bullshit. Im not sending us back to the fucking 19th century simply because of your insecurities. Learn to be Jason Bourne. Learn to defend yourself with a pen or a bit of paper...Learn to be a badass. And yes, you CAN do these things, it just takes more effort than pulling on a bit of metal. If you cant kill someone with a pen, youre not going to be able to kill someone with a gun, let alone *stop* them. You still need to *shoot* them. Good luck :) Learning...I know how difficult it can be, but you will be surprised at what you can accomplish with knowledge. You dont need to shoot everything.
+No No That's not really the same thing is it? I can't use a pint of beer to kill twenty odd innocent young children in one sitting now can I? By the time I've finished with the first one the glass would've smashed and there aren't enough shards to go around, but a gun? Not hard to be trained to use and is one hell of an effective killing tool.
but surely the arguement "but we like guns" is very persuasive... i mean, way more persuasive than the highes number of mass shootings in the world or the empirical evidence that countries where access to guns is restricted are the safest from getting shot
+bulldogsbob They're only our "rights" because people here wouldn't have it any other way. The number of people who die of gunshot wounds is just something that we as Americans are willing to accept as the price of our "right" to gun ownership. And it's time to just be honest about it. We feel the Tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of innocents. 😑
shooting shark Comparing the US to any of the countries you mentioned doesn't make much sense because they are very dissimilar and suffer from a lot of drug-related crime (thanks to the retarded US war on drugs). Canada and Western Europe are most similar to the US in all relevant respects (laws, strength of public institutions, culture, religion). And lots of mass shootings happen in the US and not in any of the other comparable countries, you can do the math (I should say: "If you weren't American, you could do the math").
As an American, guns anger me to no end. The reason no legislation will pass is because the National Riffle Association has SO MANY politicians in its back pocket. It's sickening.
The number of politicians in the back pocket of the NRA is less than the number in the back pocket of the likes of George Soros, Mr. Bloomberg, Bill Gates, and the rest of that cabal of vipers. What is most "sickening" is the percentage of the sheeple who are still mind-controlled by the cabal-controlled mass media.
Bro the NRA has literally backed gun control in the past and are outspend by the anti-gun lobby, even by Bloomberg alone. The NRA isn't why gun control fails. Gun control fails because it unpopular and it sucks....and is unconstitutional.
Why did you unlist the original and reupload? EDIT: I compared the two and saw that they cut out half a second at 6:16 where Alex was about to talk but Josh talks instead. Nothing major.

+qwertyuiopasdfghjks I bet Adam is annoyed by that decision. He repeatedly says we should mock them, not let them try to make us fear them. Fear is what they want, and laughter is death to fear.
Helena Purle When they did gun confiscation in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina some National Guard regiments REFUSED to enforce the order because it was unconstitutional. That was just with a national disaster. What do you think would happen in a tyranny/revolution situation? Probably what happened in the last revolution situation. That is to say people went back to their home states and fought there. Now take a guess at what the home states have. Think about it... take your time.... Every state has national guard regiments and most states have military bases. The last time around the military men decided to fight for their respective states. If that were to happen again that would mean the states fighting tyranny would have drones, takes, war planes etc... Anyhow, tyranny is not just Federal but all tyranny including state and organized crime. In the battle of Athens civilians took arms from the National Guard (which is made up of civilians) and stormed the local police department. This happened around the 1950s and the Federal government did not intervene. Are there any other IGNORANT things you would like to talk about?
+abrahamhdz never forget the profiteers. Soon as they used tanks/drones or any aircraft against civilians,is the day countries/smugglers will bring in anti aircraft munitions,RPGs an high explosives. Open your mind.
No that's different...knifes where there to cook. It can be used as a weapon yes. But on the same level as me using my fingers to blind the shit out of someone. It's nessesary for cutting your chicken. Like my fingers. But guns are really and truthfully there to shoot people. Weather it's war or innocents. It's not exactly there to shoot birds and cook as the main reasons. It came from war to kill and still here to kill.
Lol what those machetes? Well there's different kinds of knifes haha. It's like saying all knifes are the same. Well doctors need their scalpels! And knifes are less dangerous than guns. Guns are just there to shoot people.
Caroline Lana Guns are also used for hunting, also for target practice, self-defense, and for security details that a lot of body guards use to protect politicians, celebrities and other people.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from 2001 to 2013, *406,496 people* died by firearms on U.S. soil (2013 is the most recent year CDC data for deaths by firearms is available). This data covered all manners of death, including homicide, accident and suicide. According to the U.S. State Department, the number of U.S. citizens killed overseas as a result of incidents of terrorism from 2001 to 2013 was only *350* people. GUN CONTROL IS NOT A DEBATE THAT NEEDS TO BE HAD. There are "debates" where there is no debate, but rather a clear right and wrong. Gun control is chief among them.
502907 died in motor vehicle crashes in the same time frame. What do we do? Safety programs. Education. Awareness. The things that cause crashes in other words. Do the same with guns. They don't cause these tragedies.
The day after the Sandy Hook massacre, a customer came in to print her Christmas cards, at my work, which featured her family all holding rifles & guns on the front and she didn't see anything wrong with that.
i love how some Americans when you go at them with the crazy gun culture, they sometimes come out you about the British knife crime. oh yeah, how many people in UK would carry a knife because they read in a newspaper that someone got stabbed. Plus gun crimes have higher death rate in one incident than a knife crime does. who would you mostly likely like to attack you when he is a couple of yards away from your. A person holding a gun, or a person holding a knife. I'll give you a clue, you won't get stabbed by a knife-carrying guy when he is a couple of yards away from you.
I feel like I should point out that relative to their population the US also has a larger rate of knife crime than the UK does despite the fact that the US laws are stricter on what defines a knife
another logic turd i just heard: "The only ppl fascinated with guns are those wanting to take guns away!" omg, they have PLENTY of these idiotic idioms
a person has a gun to protect themself from someone else who has a gun. if nobody has a gun then theres no need to protect yourself. you know gun laws are fucked if you can buy one with your weekly shop
In the UK there are on average 50 shooting deaths a year amongst a population of 62 million. ORLANDO has done that in just 1 day from 1 person.Why don't we all buy and carry guns?
+Hillary Clinton Shut your fuckin mouth bitch! UK is fine with out US bullshit, fuck trump 2! Stay out of UK! Sharia law is what the people want in the UK and British people wish to follow Islam, do not believe western media bullshit, as that is only US hate against a peaceful and tolerant people of Islam.
I think ways to help reduce gun crime includes:- 1) Make legislation involving the sale/possession of guns the same in every state 2) Minimum age of 21 to own/purchase a gun 3) Must have proof of completing a licensed firearms awareness course for a particular type of firearm before they can buy a firearm of that type 4) All vendors whether it is a store, a private seller, or a gun show, has to do background checks on the individual they are selling to which must be passed, and they must be able to prove the background check took place before the individual took possession of the gun.
Read the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution. Then read the Second Amendment. One expressly prohibits the infringement by the national government upon the pre-existing and already recognised right to keep and bear arms. The other expressly prohibits the national government from from inserting its authority into any matter not specificly assigned by the Constitution for it to have authority. Gun regulation, just like abortion, was meant to be none of the national government's business. States could govern on those issues or not in accordance with their choice.
It's like selling matches to the people that are being set on fire. 'Quick, throw this at his jacket, he'll go up in flames as well." Before you know it, the entire town is on fire.
I don't think Americans would ever do what we do here, and I can understand why. America does have a lot of Rural areas with some isolated communities who probably feel the need of this defense. But surely there is room for compromise and some sort of at least limited control. Other countries have high rates of gun-ownership but no where near the same numbers of gun crime. I do hope something does happen as I have some very dear friends in the US who I don't want to see hurt or killed.
What is it that you do that's soo great you don't even have money to run your army and you cry all the time about us you don't live here shut up we can give 2 shits what you fucking do we don't talk about you on the news half has much like you do
the problem is though when you compromise with people who want to take away your gun rights they won't take just an inch but a whole mile and want more afterwards. they won't stop till they have it there way.
michael smith that’s because America are very inward thinking and ignorant of world affairs, it helps your government indoctrinate you and makes their propaganda more effective. Plus your country is famous for sticking their nose where it’s not wanted, so give us one good reason why we should treat you any differently? Also it’s “their” not “there”.
Madman loves freedom and what evidence is that based on? None it’s an assumption. Want to see what the US would look like with gun control? Look at Canada. You have over 11,000 gun related homicides a year and they have something like 160. Yet in Canada you can buy AR-15’s, Tavor tar 21’s (IDW), L98A2’s, L1A1 SLR’s, sig sauer P226’s, m9 berretta’s, colt 1911’s, .45 tacticals, .50 desert eagle’s...well actually you can buy pretty much any rifle or pistol that you want, provided it meets some reasonable requirements. I’ve shot in canada and the gun culture is amazing. America’s is just dangerous and irresponsible.
Yeah I know. Political figures are so damn eager to blame video games, film and Tv for being to violent but when it comes to actually changing the fucking law about it- God no.
What about all of the shootings done by prohibited people in Chicago and Detroit where they have among the most strict gun laws in the country? Instead you just want to take the guns away from the good guys. There is a good reason no one listens to you idiots.
I'm a Brit living in the USA. The gun carnage is depressing to say the least, a nd no-one seems able to take control of it and change the Constitution. This is the only civilised country that allows such a ridiculous law to flourish. I would move back to Blighty except my 4 children grew up here and have made lives they are proud of. Going back alone is not what I would do.
However, when you look at actual facts, more guns equal more gun deaths. Look at Australia for instance, they had a mass shooting and then decided to ban guns. Since those laws were put in place, there have been ZERO mass shootings, as well as their suicide rate has decreased. I found that arguing about this topic goes no where, but I hope that you can research facts and statistics from reputable sources, instead of flawed logic.
+Sarah Lane and when you take guns away more people die from being defenceless. Yeah Australia is working great with still gun violence and violence in general. You should note that Americas crime has gone down more in the last 25 years more than which Australia's has. The media just plays on numbers. Americas crime is at its lowest. Yet more guns and more people carrying. And in areas where it's law to carry there's no crime.
+Sarah Lane and lol you believe everything the media tells you? They are all owned by the same people, they push stories which are interesting to make money. They also are very biased to push agendas. And were is your stats from?

Most sensible video I have ever watched on the absurd stupid that is America and Americans & their bizarre love affair with guns. Well done.
"A well regulated Militia" Yes....the US population who don't have firearm training and mental health/criminal checks doesn't constitute as a "well regulated militia"
@@collinslfc Definition of the militia at the time of the U.S. Bill of Rights was taken directly from the British articles of war which was all able body men from 16 to 60
Why do pro-gun control liberals always decide they don't want to debate any longer when I start bringing up facts, historical events, american regulation that currently exists or whatever... Seems like liberals just really want to rant instead of debate.
"If you outlaw guns then only outlaws will have guns because criminals don't obey laws." OK, smartasses -- with that logic, we shouldn't have traffic signals because some people run red lights anyway.
+lohphat But you just proved their point. We have red light cameras and traffic signals, and people still ignore them. If you have gun laws, criminals will ignore them too.
Wrong. All able-bodied men 16 and over are, by definition, part of the militia. (I'm a constitutional scholar.) When will these redcoat c*nts get it? We ousted your Piersie. YOUR OPINION IS WORTHLESS. We are not a country of pussies, of victims waiting for officials to "save" us. No, thanks, you leftist libs. Continue being spineless SLAVES. We will ALWAYS be free. You can go ahead and guess how we maintain that freedom.
You seriously saying that a person choosing to purchase one or more guns to protect yourself in the face of some insane gunman? Is that your notion of freedom and happiness? You come across as pretty fearful to me and everyone is entitled to their opinion about the senseless murders of innocent children, students, camera crews etc. Does the fact that there were more mass shootings in the US than days of the year not bother you?
+Niall Brady Being able to protect your life and the lives of others against a gunman, a rapist, a kidnapper, what have you, with a gun, IS FREEDOM and SELF-SUFFICIENCY. The shootings of innocents, which you mentioned, occur overwhelmingly in GUN-FREE ZONES. I do not live in fear. I sleep soundly, and walk and drive in public soundly and peacefully; speak softly and carry a big stick. Pacifists and other anti-gunners live in denial of reality; ignorance is truly bliss. So, to that end, I'd rather be aware and vigilant (not fearful) and able to protect and survive, than think everything is rosy-colored, cowardly handing over the responsibility to protect myself and my own to authorities. (BTW, police have NO obligation to protect you [see case law].) The bottom line is that this is a natural right; it may not and will not be infringed in OUR country: Our RKBA isn't going anywhere. Period.
champy1210, I get that there are cases for carrying handguns as you pointed out above and in situations where the law can't get to you quickly. But whilst that gives you your self sufficiency, it's delusional to say that gives you freedom. Clearly you guys have a different perception to that of other 1st world nations. I've said elsewhere that the US is so far down the 'gun road' it's almost pointless expecting a radical change. It just ain't gonna happen. So maybe it's best you carry on as best you can, accepting that the only real winner here are the arms manufacturers. Is it true that there are over 300million firearms owned legally in the US? My thinking is that the criminal comes to burgle, murder etc. so you rightfully buy a firearm to defend yourself and family. Next time around, he brings some friends, also armed, so you buy extra guns too. You get where this is going, right? Either way, there's a genuine reason you'll carry a firearm but to think you can react quicker than a trained pro, worse still a terrorist is ridiculous. Unless of course, you served in your armed forces. People carry guns out of fear and that's a fact. A guy weighing 220lbs is soon turned away if you're carrying, right? But let's say your 3 year old daughter finds her mommys pistol in her purse and accidently shoots either herself or mommy. Or the guy who decides he's angry with the world so murders his whole family and/or neighbors. Or the guy who just senselessly decides to walk into a school and murders children and teachers indiscriminately, or the students on university campuses seen as easy meat by a madman. Before you say the victims should/could of armed themselves, they shouldn't have to in a free society. And it nothing to do with ignorance. Australia had a mass shooting and the government bought back almost all the guns, the Brits did the same after the same after the Dunblane massacre in the mid 1990s. Most of Europe has banned guns and all these societies are in my view more free and secure than the US. They say that any thief carrying a weapon is essentially a coward, knowing that the sight of the firearm is enough in most cases to get the victim to turn over jewellery etc. the US is unique in 1st world economies in being 'sold' well and truly on conspiracy theories and thus the 'need' for protection. Think on this, your property catches fire. Do you expect the fire service to arrive and put it out or do you rely on your own resources? I'll close by saying I served in HM Forces during the Falklands War, was injured but I'm glad to say that what mentally impaired people we have, cannot buy guns. No one calls me cowardly and our 'rose tinted' outlook has been borne out of world wars, wars on terror, the IRA, ISIS and hundreds of years of development as a society. One day, when enough people have died, US society will call a halt. If you can campaign against your troops dying in Iraq and Afghanistan and get the troops home, you can end the mindless violence on home ground.
+Niall Brady, yes, the self-defense aspect is clear to both of us. However, it most definitely is not delusional-it is rather historically and currently accurate-to state that exercising the RKBA guarantees, protects freedom. The reasons the Framers rightfully included the RKBA were chiefly of two: 1) to guard against tyrannical government, foreign and domestic; and 2) to provide for common defense (daily defense against criminals). People are deluded into thinking that in the nascent 21st century, that tyranny wouldn't occur in a first-world country; that is patently false. It happened several times all over the world by dictators that slaughtered almost 300 million people-many of them their own. This is not a kookish conspiratorial claim; it is fact, historical record. And history repeats itself. Three to four percent of the population are psychopaths: Most are found in politics, followed by CEOs. To presume that it will or even could not ever happen-or even is already happening-is
Residual Wild West mentality + Total aversion to knowledge = The Lobby to Defend an Amendment meant to Keep State Militias Intact. Not to mention, damn good doses of Irish and German stubbornness.
One of the ways that libtards are destroying America is through the subversion and takeover of the education establishment from kindergarten through post graduate. History is little taught and what little is taught is slanted, false, or otherwise tainted with BS. That makes it easier for leftist subversives to peddle such lies as the Second Amendment being only about keeping state militias intact. Do you imagine that the founding fathers were afraid later government officials would send soldiers out unarmed?
The 2nd admendment is part of the constitution which was constructed within the bill of rights of which can only be change by a two thirds vote of the states. So no its not that easy to repeal. However the 2nd admendment is the insurance admendment for the people. If any of our rights are infringed upon we levy it.
Thank you for this. We keep going backwards. And speaking of Amendments that we need- the Equal Rights Amendment, the ERA, was never ratified. The only thing in the U.S. constitution that relates to women is the 19th Amendment which gives women the right to vote. The ERA was proposed in 1923. It was passed in the 70’s, but needed to be ratified by 3/4 of the states AND it was given a deadline, which is rare for amendments. So fast forward to 2019, there is nothing in the Constitution to protect the rights of women.
Oddly enough, I think Trumplethinskin is giving us a chance to fix things. He is so openly corrupt that I think we have a chance to elect people who will do something about these issues. At least, I hope that's the case. I'm rapidly losing faith in my countrymen.
Why do they to have to have second thoughts about changing something in their gun laws when there are literally gun related violence happening in their country everyday? not to mention the unending mass shootings in public places and schools. They're more concerned of their gun obsession than human life.
The whole idea of "If everyone had guns the criminal would die before committing a crime" is so flawed. Do you really think that in a time of absolute terror the average person will not only be able to pull the trigger but also accurately hit their target and only their target? Ha, no. Most likely scenario? You dont even get a shot off or you miss. If you miss you endanger more lives. And now the criminal has an oppurtunity to take your gun. They're calmer than you, less afraid and more determined so that wouldn't be tricky. Not to mention they picked to attack you so they are confident they can take you on. You make an awful situation worse by introducing a gun every single time without fail.
You've misconstrued our argument. We're not saying crime will be intervened upon. We're saying that we will fight back. We might not win, but the lawless fucks will be put on notice. That's all we want to do: to notify criminals that death is an occupational hazard for them. The goal is to persuade them to choose a different line of work and it is very effective. Also, you give crooks way too much credit. The moment a victim confronts them with a firearm they flee like the cowardly opportunists they are. They aren't prepared for crossfire.
People who conceal carry and such go to the range and practice. Not everyone does, but the people who care do. Why would you want to take that right from them?
ok everyone in the comment section who goes we shouldn't change it it's our right to bear arms tell me what the full second amendment says because that's only the first part
***** consider modernising your interpretations. The founding fathers weren't time travellers. They couldn't predict the future. Once upon a time a well regulated milita migh have protected you from British invaders or your own government. I doubt it'd be much use now the United States Military exists.
Fluxquark Our founding fathers said that even with firearms the people of Europe probably could not cast off their chain. Yet, most of you guys had your revolutions and made it out of Serfdom. Yet, the serfdom did not get removed from your mindsets. Your language is that of a slave people. Incidentally, we already have limits on Free Speech. Yet, most Europeans do not have Free Speech as a guaranteed right. Especially the poor British.

As an American I whole heatedly agree that we have a gun problem. I do not believe in taking away the right to own a gun. What needs to be done is promote and insure responsible gun ownership. In order to purchase a gun a person should have to take a class on usage of that weapon, safety equipment to lock up the weapon should be required with the purchase, and an extensive background check should be done. I think that they should only be sold in specialty shops and at specialty shows. With that said it will by no means stop the gun violence in our country. Just look at Chicago. The city is a gun free zone and yet it has one of the worst gun crime problems.
Didn't the US government disagree with additional background checks after the shooting in orlando? I find that insane - especially considering that this means that someone under investigation for terrorist activities could purchase a firearm and cause absolute carnage. If the gun laws changing meant saving one life then I think it's something that should be done. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening anytime soon...
Your first mistake is assuming 'essential liberty' has ANYTHING to do with unfettered gun access. Secondly, Franklin also said this which seems to fit the nation with the highest incarcerated population in the world; “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
as a brit I think it is not our place to talk about or criticise the Americans for there gun culture. plus we still allow people to smoke which kills more people than guns do and yet I don't see the hate train for that issue. I mean if were not allowed to tell the middle east to respect women better why should we be telling the United states how to deal with its guns. a bit hypocritical really.
Madman loves freedom what you mean like the smoking ban? No smoking in public places including pubs. Plain packaging to try and dissuade the allure of smoking, age restrictions to buy cigarettes etc
Barton Kraus Firstly, do you actually have this number? Secondly, how many people actually have/can easily get this number? I honestly don't know as I don't live in the US
+The Justicar Australians? English? American internal affairs? Also you're quick to bring up the revolutionary war but seem to have forgotten the fact that the last time the u.s declared war on Britain, they completely failed at their goal of annexing canada and ended signing a peace treaty (White peace)
Assuming he means the British. The American Revolution was a proxy war. It was a small part of a larger conflict going on between Britain and France. After the American Revolution, Britain went on to become the largest Empire the world has ever seen. Covering a quarter of the earths land mass. In that regards losing 13 colonies from Central America it simply wasn't a big deal to learn a lesson from.
I am glad Australia have strict gun laws. Also, both sides of politics supported it, and it was a conservative government who brought it in. There are massacres every other day in the USA. We haven't had one in Australia since Port Arthur in 1996.
That has nothing to do with gun laws. The post-port-Arthur gun laws and confiscation were massive failures. The decline in crime in Australia had been happening since '89 and the laws had no statistical effect on crime or even gun crime. They only got between a sixth and a third of all guns and there are more guns now and less crime than ever before. There are also more guns now and less crime than in the 90s in America because more guns means less crime. The US had a comparable drop in crime in the 90s to Australia, except in America the amount of guns skyrocketed and the crime plummetted, largely after gun carry laws were loosened. Clearly, guns reduce crime.
Its not that we know how you feel. I know a large amount of people want stronger gun laws and for guns to be banned outright. But the majority want guns or couldnt care less. In America in 2015, there were more mass shootings than there were days (I think, my facts could be wrong). This amendment was put in place when the most dangerous thing you could own was a musket, you know,the things that even the most skilled loader took a minimum of about 30 seconds for one shot. I get that guns are a part of your culture now, and i get that this was put in place to deter a tyrannical government and invaders (The British). But that was before tanks, jets, bombers, guided missiles, drones, so on so forth. The gun companies are like drug dealers, and the people buying are addicts. It's also like you not using the metric system, you cant exactly just BAM! SWITCHED to the metric system. America cant just switch off guns, it will be a long and drawn out process if ever it happens
NoLuckManNoLuck You don't think the Founding Fathers anticipated when they created the Second Amendment that guns would get more advanced as time went on? If we follow your logic should the First Amendment (Freedom of Speech) only apply to actual speech and letters, because that's the only forms of communication in 1788? Stop being so dense.
@@English_Thespian what about the 18th amendment do you think they thought alcohol would require being banned forever? of course they did!! yet here we are. and true freedom of speech is actually terrible, it gives someone the right to torture someone through words is inhumane. its the reason a racist bigot is your president
I'm American, and I think it would be kind of pointless not to change the gun law. We say that we need Assault Rifles to protect ourselves from criminals, but really we keep the Assault Rifles in our vaults, never taking them anywhere unless we're going to cause a school shooting or if we're part of SWAT.
The reality is that there's not much of a connection between rates of gun ownership and gun violence. In the UK we have similar gun laws to Sweden and only a fraction of the amount of gun owners. In the USA you just don't see consistency between gun ownership and rates of gun violence across states and cities. America needs to fix its background check system, and they should probably have some more 'common sense' gun control.
I live in the UK. I have a friend who lives high in the Rockies. It's bear country. He owns a .45 and a shotgun. From what he's told me, I wouldn't want to live in that part of the US without having something similar. The point is, in that environment they're tools for protection, not aids to manhood.
Exactly. So the people who genuinely need a gun will go through the legal process to get one, whereas the nutjobs that don't will stay the hell away from them.
Yeah... the Boston tea party was a couple hundred years ago. The British can't even figure out how to leave the EU.... They're not coming for the guns.
I visited the USA and went to a general store. It had groceries, magazines, camping gear, fishing gear, then next to the fishing gear were rifles and guns. It was like nothing I had seen before.

The 2nd amendment was written at a time when rifles could at best fire twice a minute. So yeah it does need changing.
I’m sure our founding fathers knew that guns would advance. They weren’t stupid.
The puckel gun that existed during the time could fire 63 shots in 7 minutes and the 2nd amendment didn’t just apply to firearms it applied to cannons
@@Dante.- The puckel guns didn't make it out of prototype phase cuz of the mechanical problems: mostly the fact that the hand crank was bloody useless. It wasn't a machine guns like nowadays.

Shocking how this video was first broadcast five years ago & this is STILL relevant! When will these guns laws change?
Sadly, never.
Never cus americans are weirdos

Unless Americans change, these laws will still be in place. I can't see that happening anytime soon. In fact they are getting worse rather than better. As far as I can see, things have only escalated.
Why do you talk about it as if it's some sort of inevitability that gun control becomes the norm. If anything, it's the opposite. It's an inevitability that gun rights become the norm worldwide.
I once meet an American who had moved to the UK (where I live) and we said talking about mass shootings. This guy was VERY pro guns and he used that stupid "guns don't kill people, people kill people" line, and I said. "Yeah your right people do kill people... WITH GUNS!!"
And the vast majority.............. DON'T
And knives, cars, hammers, literally anything is a weapon and has been used to kill/maim someone with it
thyartismurder 512 because British people have been killed in America because of your stupid gun laws, I think that gives us a right to an opinion 🙄
To the saner Britons in the comment section: keep well away from passing any law parroting our 2nd Amendment. Let the only people who have guns be the terrorists, Special Branch/es and Army/Navy/Marines. The UK, imho, *must* remain civilised, and not become the insane asylum we are.
@@jeevesjaheebs3603 unless they are American
Trying to talk reason to Americans about gun control is like repeatedly banging your head against a wall and expecting not to hurt eventually....
If you bang your head hard enough you will probably stop feeling anything.
Blaming guns for shooting is like blaming your cellphone for your porn addiction, blaming the violin for the bad music, or blaming the steering wheel for your car crash.
Guns are simply tools. And like all tools they can be used for good or evil.
So educate yourself and your family on how to use this tool properly just like you have to educate yourself with every other tool.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control_in_Brazil
"In 2005, a majority of Brazil's population voted against banning the sale of guns and ammunition to civilians in a referendum.[1] Executive Order No. 5.123, of 1 July 2004[9] allowed the Federal Police to confiscate firearms which are not possessed for a valid reason; self-defense was not considered a valid argument.[10]
These measures saw mixed results. Initially, the crime rate dropped,[11] but subsequently rose in later years. 2012 marked the highest rate of gun deaths in 35 years for Brazil, eight years after a ban on carrying handguns in public went into effect,[12] and 2016 saw the worst ever death toll from homicide in Brazil, with 61,619 dead.[13] The death toll rose again in 2017 to 63,880, a 3.7% rise from 2016.[14] After the flexibility of guns in 2019 by President Jair Bolsonaro, the number of deaths registered by homicide was 19% lower compared to 2018 (51,558), while in 2019 the registered number was 41,635 being the lowest number of homicide deaths since 2007.[15]"

I once had this argument with an American, and he brought up knife crime in the UK. Difference is, knives have many purposes (cooking, DIY etc)
Guns have only 1 purpose = to kill....unless you want to make a bullet stew
They usually bring up knife crime when they are losing the argument, the other one that crops up a lot is " well the UKs violent crime is higher than ours". What they don't seem to grasp is that violent crime in the UK is defined differently than in the U.S. Like pushing and shoving that's classed as a violent crime here. Also have you watched A British Viewpoint On American Gun Control? I suggest you watch it, some of the comments have to be read to be believed. Read the comments in reply to Stella Manurung post, especially the ones by qk1001, Rhys McCartney reply and Mr Guvnah response.
Pull your head out of your ass
As soon as somebody says a gun's only purpose is to kill you automatically know that's someone speaking from total ignorance and not to be taken seriously.
Guns have many purposes, what about hunting, target practice, self defense and acting as deterrents, just to name a few.

The Second Amendment explicitly states "A *well regulated Militia* , being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." And yet, people argue that an amendment that explicitly states that it has to do with the regulated arming of citizens means that the possession, carrying, etc. of weapons cannot be regulated. The amendment was meant to avoid the issues of a professional army, and its potential for abuse and totalitarianism, by having a trained citizenry that could be called to action to defend the country (and conversely could say "get stuffed" if they didn't want to go shoot at whoever they were being told to go shoot at).
Of course, in the age of nuclear weapons, billion dollar stealth bombers, and AWACS systems, a lightly trained corps of marksmen isn't going to work for national defense, but we also don't see soldiers quartered in private homes all that much, either. Some of the amendments haven't aged as well as others, and it's understandably the ones that address the symptom (professional armies, armed government agents bullying homeowners (2nd, 3rd)) instead of the disease (censorship, fanaticism, government arrogation of authority (1st, 1st again, 9th and 10th)).
Also the weapons for the malitias where to be supplied by the federal government and armouries built by the states to store the weapons and training supplied by the states.
You say that, yet vietnam and Afghanistan seem to have proved otherwise
The bit that says "the right of the *people* to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is the bit that gives people the right to keep and bear arms, you literally typed out the quote.
I can't kill a person across the room with something like a fork. Bit I can if I had a gun!! It's so stupid! When will some people learn????
Ignorance abounds in a society terrified of knowledge.
@Gary Winthorp But that involves EFFORT!!!!
@Gary Winthorp I'm hardly a slim jim, believe me!
To be fair though, it's a bit silly to bring a fork to a gunfight... But then it raises the question of who let the other lad have a gun?
@Gary Winthorp Listen, I'm not advocating for gun laws in the US, I'm simply saying this is a self-perpetuating issue caused by the fact that, once you allow relatively lax gun laws to exist (coupled with frankly disgraceful levels of institutionally-imposed poverty), then the concept of gun ownership becomes a no-brainer, but once it does, it becomes a no-brainer for criminals to carry guns. It's an arms race, but on a civilian level. As such it is still relevant to ask: "historically, why did we allow this mess to happen in the first place?"
Just so you know, I'm a fan of guns in general. I enjoy their history and the engineering behind them, I enjoy shooting them, and I certainly don't agree with banning them, but I just don't live in a country where owning a gun for self-defense is a necessity. However, I used to live in the states, and, as a historian, it really made me wonder how things got so bad over there that gun-ownership became equated with "freedom" because no other country feels the need to do that.
Me, I like the feeling of freedom I get from NOT having to own a gun.
@Gary Winthorp Having lived in the US for a number of years, I can say this: you don't know what freedom of speech is.
Certain types of Americans blether on and on about their freedoms, but what are those freedoms?
You don't have a media system that is state-funded and as such is devoid of advertising and is therefore free to be objective.
The freedom to die because you can't grasp the concept of universal healthcare?
Your freedom to a media that isn't controlled by the global press like the Murdoch machine? (I mean, really! the amount of libertarians who still support Murdoch Media is embarrassing- don' t you understand how they control you?!).
Your freedom to send your kids to a decent school that doesn't cost the earth because there's no state support for decent education?
Freedom of speech, sunshine, is the ability to say what you want, but equally it's the ability to think for yourself without your revolting overlords tricking you into supporting their revolting plans that only benefit them.
The 2nd amendment spoke about a well regulated militia. The militia is as defined in the constitution as able bodied men who when called upon BY THE GOVERNMENT to defend, not overthrow it. It was also made during the time of muskets. Guns are protected but ammo is not. Tax and regulate the FUCK out of ammo.
+No No
Yeah, youre right. We shouldnt do anything to stop gun deaths. Its not like death is a problem or anything...is it? Oh wait, there is Heaven. I guess its not that big of a problem after all :D *whew*

shooting shark Comparing the US to any of the countries you mentioned doesn't make much sense because they are very dissimilar and suffer from a lot of drug-related crime (thanks to the retarded US war on drugs). Canada and Western Europe are most similar to the US in all relevant respects (laws, strength of public institutions, culture, religion). And lots of mass shootings happen in the US and not in any of the other comparable countries, you can do the math (I should say: "If you weren't American, you could do the math").
As an American, guns anger me to no end. The reason no legislation will pass is because the National Riffle Association has SO MANY politicians in its back pocket. It's sickening.
I AM the National Rifle Association. Deal with it.
The number of politicians in the back pocket of the NRA is less than the number in the back pocket of the likes of George Soros, Mr. Bloomberg, Bill Gates, and the rest of that cabal of vipers. What is most "sickening" is the percentage of the sheeple who are still mind-controlled by the cabal-controlled mass media.
Bro the NRA has literally backed gun control in the past and are outspend by the anti-gun lobby, even by Bloomberg alone. The NRA isn't why gun control fails. Gun control fails because it unpopular and it sucks....and is unconstitutional.

Helena Purle When they did gun confiscation in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina some National Guard regiments REFUSED to enforce the order because it was unconstitutional. That was just with a national disaster. What do you think would happen in a tyranny/revolution situation?
Probably what happened in the last revolution situation. That is to say people went back to their home states and fought there. Now take a guess at what the home states have. Think about it... take your time....
Every state has national guard regiments and most states have military bases. The last time around the military men decided to fight for their respective states. If that were to happen again that would mean the states fighting tyranny would have drones, takes, war planes etc...
Anyhow, tyranny is not just Federal but all tyranny including state and organized crime. In the battle of Athens civilians took arms from the National Guard (which is made up of civilians) and stormed the local police department. This happened around the 1950s and the Federal government did not intervene.

Knives also kill people. We should start a knife ban as well.
No that's different...knifes where there to cook. It can be used as a weapon yes. But on the same level as me using my fingers to blind the shit out of someone. It's nessesary for cutting your chicken. Like my fingers. But guns are really and truthfully there to shoot people. Weather it's war or innocents. It's not exactly there to shoot birds and cook as the main reasons. It came from war to kill and still here to kill.
Caroline Lana Have you seen the knife that Rambo uses? You think he uses that to chop up onions or tomatoes? lol
Lol what those machetes? Well there's different kinds of knifes haha. It's like saying all knifes are the same. Well doctors need their scalpels! And knifes are less dangerous than guns. Guns are just there to shoot people.
Caroline Lana Guns are also used for hunting, also for target practice, self-defense, and for security details that a lot of body guards use to protect politicians, celebrities and other people.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from 2001 to 2013, *406,496 people* died by firearms on U.S. soil (2013 is the most recent year CDC data for deaths by firearms is available). This data covered all manners of death, including homicide, accident and suicide.
According to the U.S. State Department, the number of U.S. citizens killed overseas as a result of incidents of terrorism from 2001 to 2013 was only *350* people.
GUN CONTROL IS NOT A DEBATE THAT NEEDS TO BE HAD. There are "debates" where there is no debate, but rather a clear right and wrong. Gun control is chief among them.
502907 died in motor vehicle crashes in the same time frame. What do we do? Safety programs. Education. Awareness.

i love how some Americans when you go at them with the crazy gun culture, they sometimes come out you about the British knife crime. oh yeah, how many people in UK would carry a knife because they read in a newspaper that someone got stabbed.

A person holding a gun, or a person holding a knife. I'll give you a clue, you won't get stabbed by a knife-carrying guy when he is a couple of yards away from you.
Never expect a reasonable argument from a gun-happy Trumptard.
Unless they know how to throw a knife, like me ;)
I feel like I should point out that relative to their population the US also has a larger rate of knife crime than the UK does despite the fact that the US laws are stricter on what defines a knife
another logic turd i just heard: "The only ppl fascinated with guns are those wanting to take guns away!"
omg, they have PLENTY of these idiotic idioms
a person has a gun to protect themself from someone else who has a gun. if nobody has a gun then theres no need to protect yourself. you know gun laws are fucked if you can buy one with your weekly shop

You are obviously a very intelligent person. So which country are you living in now and why?
This is tragic haha London is doing fine you racist imbecile
I think ways to help reduce gun crime includes:-
1) Make legislation involving the sale/possession of guns the same in every state
2) Minimum age of 21 to own/purchase a gun
3) Must have proof of completing a licensed firearms awareness course for a particular type of firearm before they can buy a firearm of that type
4) All vendors whether it is a store, a private seller, or a gun show, has to do background checks on the individual they are selling to which must be passed, and they must be able to prove the background check took place before the individual took possession of the gun.
Read the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution. Then read the Second Amendment. One expressly prohibits the infringement by the national government upon the pre-existing and already recognised right to keep and bear arms. The other expressly prohibits the national government from from inserting its authority into any matter not specificly assigned by the Constitution for it to have authority. Gun regulation, just like abortion, was meant to be none of the national government's business. States could govern on those issues or not in accordance with their choice.
I don't know about any other Americans on here, but I've never seen guns being sold in a supermarket.

I don't think Americans would ever do what we do here, and I can understand why. America does have a lot of Rural areas with some isolated communities who probably feel the need of this defense. But surely there is room for compromise and some sort of at least limited control. Other countries have high rates of gun-ownership but no where near the same numbers of gun crime. I do hope something does happen as I have some very dear friends in the US who I don't want to see hurt or killed.
What is it that you do that's soo great you don't even have money to run your army and you cry all the time about us you don't live here shut up we can give 2 shits what you fucking do we don't talk about you on the news half has much like you do
the problem is though when you compromise with people who want to take away your gun rights they won't take just an inch but a whole mile and want more afterwards. they won't stop till they have it there way.
michael smith that’s because America are very inward thinking and ignorant of world affairs, it helps your government indoctrinate you and makes their propaganda more effective. Plus your country is famous for sticking their nose where it’s not wanted, so give us one good reason why we should treat you any differently? Also it’s “their” not “there”.
Madman loves freedom and what evidence is that based on? None it’s an assumption. Want to see what the US would look like with gun control? Look at Canada. You have over 11,000 gun related homicides a year and they have something like 160. Yet in Canada you can buy AR-15’s, Tavor tar 21’s (IDW), L98A2’s, L1A1 SLR’s, sig sauer P226’s, m9 berretta’s, colt 1911’s, .45 tacticals, .50 desert eagle’s...well actually you can buy pretty much any rifle or pistol that you want, provided it meets some reasonable requirements. I’ve shot in canada and the gun culture is amazing. America’s is just dangerous and irresponsible.

However, when you look at actual facts, more guns equal more gun deaths. Look at Australia for instance, they had a mass shooting and then decided to ban guns. Since those laws were put in place, there have been ZERO mass shootings, as well as their suicide rate has decreased. I found that arguing about this topic goes no where, but I hope that you can research facts and statistics from reputable sources, instead of flawed logic.
+Sarah Lane and when you take guns away more people die from being defenceless.

YOUR OPINION IS WORTHLESS. We are not a country of pussies, of victims waiting for officials to "save" us. No, thanks, you leftist libs. Continue being spineless SLAVES. We will ALWAYS be free. You can go ahead and guess how we maintain that freedom.
You seriously saying that a person choosing to purchase one or more guns to protect yourself in the face of some insane gunman? Is that your notion of freedom and happiness? You come across as pretty fearful to me and everyone is entitled to their opinion about the senseless murders of innocent children, students, camera crews etc. Does the fact that there were more mass shootings in the US than days of the year not bother you?
+Niall Brady Being able to protect your life and the lives of others against a gunman, a rapist, a kidnapper, what have you, with a gun, IS FREEDOM and SELF-SUFFICIENCY. The shootings of innocents, which you mentioned, occur overwhelmingly in GUN-FREE ZONES. I do not live in fear. I sleep soundly, and walk and drive in public soundly and peacefully; speak softly and carry a big stick. Pacifists and other anti-gunners live in denial of reality; ignorance is truly bliss. So, to that end, I'd rather be aware and vigilant (not fearful) and able to protect and survive, than think everything is rosy-colored, cowardly handing over the responsibility to protect myself and my own to authorities. (BTW, police have NO obligation to protect you [see case law].) The bottom line is that this is a natural right; it may not and will not be infringed in OUR country: Our RKBA isn't going anywhere. Period.
champy1210, I get that there are cases for carrying handguns as you pointed out above and in situations where the law can't get to you quickly. But whilst that gives you your self sufficiency, it's delusional to say that gives you freedom. Clearly you guys have a different perception to that of other 1st world nations. I've said elsewhere that the US is so far down the 'gun road' it's almost pointless expecting a radical change. It just ain't gonna happen. So maybe it's best you carry on as best you can, accepting that the only real winner here are the arms manufacturers. Is it true that there are over 300million firearms owned legally in the US? My thinking is that the criminal comes to burgle, murder etc. so you rightfully buy a firearm to defend yourself and family. Next time around, he brings some friends, also armed, so you buy extra guns too. You get where this is going, right? Either way, there's a genuine reason you'll carry a firearm but to think you can react quicker than a trained pro, worse still a terrorist is ridiculous. Unless of course, you served in your armed forces. People carry guns out of fear and that's a fact. A guy weighing 220lbs is soon turned away if you're carrying, right? But let's say your 3 year old daughter finds her mommys pistol in her purse and accidently shoots either herself or mommy. Or the guy who decides he's angry with the world so murders his whole family and/or neighbors. Or the guy who just senselessly decides to walk into a school and murders children and teachers indiscriminately, or the students on university campuses seen as easy meat by a madman. Before you say the victims should/could of armed themselves, they shouldn't have to in a free society. And it nothing to do with ignorance. Australia had a mass shooting and the government bought back almost all the guns, the Brits did the same after the same after the Dunblane massacre in the mid 1990s. Most of Europe has banned guns and all these societies are in my view more free and secure than the US. They say that any thief carrying a weapon is essentially a coward, knowing that the sight of the firearm is enough in most cases to get the victim to turn over jewellery etc. the US is unique in 1st world economies in being 'sold' well and truly on conspiracy theories and thus the 'need' for protection. Think on this, your property catches fire. Do you expect the fire service to arrive and put it out or do you rely on your own resources? I'll close by saying I served in HM Forces during the Falklands War, was injured but I'm glad to say that what mentally impaired people we have, cannot buy guns. No one calls me cowardly and our 'rose tinted' outlook has been borne out of world wars, wars on terror, the IRA, ISIS and hundreds of years of development as a society. One day, when enough people have died, US society will call a halt. If you can campaign against your troops dying in Iraq and Afghanistan and get the troops home, you can end the mindless violence on home ground.
+Niall Brady, yes, the self-defense aspect is clear to both of us. However, it most definitely is not delusional-it is rather historically and currently accurate-to state that exercising the RKBA guarantees, protects freedom. The reasons the Framers rightfully included the RKBA were chiefly of two: 1) to guard against tyrannical government, foreign and domestic; and 2) to provide for common defense (daily defense against criminals). People are deluded into thinking that in the nascent 21st century, that tyranny wouldn't occur in a first-world country; that is patently false. It happened several times all over the world by dictators that slaughtered almost 300 million people-many of them their own. This is not a kookish conspiratorial claim; it is fact, historical record. And history repeats itself. Three to four percent of the population are psychopaths: Most are found in politics, followed by CEOs. To presume that it will or even could not ever happen-or even is already happening-is

One of the ways that libtards are destroying America is through the subversion and takeover of the education establishment from kindergarten through post graduate. History is little taught and what little is taught is slanted, false, or otherwise tainted with BS.

We won't because it's a liberty thing here. We are pretty big on our Bill of Rights.

However the 2nd admendment is the insurance admendment for the people. If any of our rights are infringed upon we levy it.

Thank you for this. We keep going backwards. And speaking of Amendments that we need- the Equal Rights Amendment, the ERA, was never ratified. The only thing in the U.S. constitution that relates to women is the 19th Amendment which gives women the right to vote. The ERA was proposed in 1923. It was passed in the 70’s, but needed to be ratified by 3/4 of the states AND it was given a deadline, which is rare for amendments. So fast forward to 2019, there is nothing in the Constitution to protect the rights of women.
Oddly enough, I think Trumplethinskin is giving us a chance to fix things. He is so openly corrupt that I think we have a chance to elect people who will do something about these issues. At least, I hope that's the case. I'm rapidly losing faith in my countrymen.
Why do they to have to have second thoughts about changing something in their gun laws when there are literally gun related violence happening in their country everyday? not to mention the unending mass shootings in public places and schools.
They're more concerned of their gun obsession than human life.
The whole idea of "If everyone had guns the criminal would die before committing a crime" is so flawed. Do you really think that in a time of absolute terror the average person will not only be able to pull the trigger but also accurately hit their target and only their target? Ha, no. Most likely scenario? You dont even get a shot off or you miss. If you miss you endanger more lives. And now the criminal has an oppurtunity to take your gun. They're calmer than you, less afraid and more determined so that wouldn't be tricky. Not to mention they picked to attack you so they are confident they can take you on. You make an awful situation worse by introducing a gun every single time without fail.
You've misconstrued our argument. We're not saying crime will be intervened upon. We're saying that we will fight back. We might not win, but the lawless fucks will be put on notice. That's all we want to do: to notify criminals that death is an occupational hazard for them. The goal is to persuade them to choose a different line of work and it is very effective.
Also, you give crooks way too much credit. The moment a victim confronts them with a firearm they flee like the cowardly opportunists they are. They aren't prepared for crossfire.
that's why you carry a bullet in the chamber
People who conceal carry and such go to the range and practice. Not everyone does, but the people who care do. Why would you want to take that right from them?

As an American I whole heatedly agree that we have a gun problem. I do not believe in taking away the right to own a gun. What needs to be done is promote and insure responsible gun ownership. In order to purchase a gun a person should have to take a class on usage of that weapon, safety equipment to lock up the weapon should be required with the purchase, and an extensive background check should be done. I think that they should only be sold in specialty shops and at specialty shows. With that said it will by no means stop the gun violence in our country. Just look at Chicago. The city is a gun free zone and yet it has one of the worst gun crime problems.
Didn't the US government disagree with additional background checks after the shooting in orlando? I find that insane - especially considering that this means that someone under investigation for terrorist activities could purchase a firearm and cause absolute carnage. If the gun laws changing meant saving one life then I think it's something that should be done. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening anytime soon...

Lynette TheMadScientist listen, I don't think you understand. a gun doesnt protect you from tyranny.

I mean if were not allowed to tell the middle east to respect women better why should we be telling the United states how to deal with its guns. a bit hypocritical really.

I am glad Australia have strict gun laws.
Also, both sides of politics supported it, and it was a conservative government who brought it in.
There are massacres every other day in the USA. We haven't had one in Australia since Port Arthur in 1996.
That has nothing to do with gun laws. The post-port-Arthur gun laws and confiscation were massive failures. The decline in crime in Australia had been happening since '89 and the laws had no statistical effect on crime or even gun crime. They only got between a sixth and a third of all guns and there are more guns now and less crime than ever before. There are also more guns now and less crime than in the 90s in America because more guns means less crime. The US had a comparable drop in crime in the 90s to Australia, except in America the amount of guns skyrocketed and the crime plummetted, largely after gun carry laws were loosened. Clearly, guns reduce crime.
People who don't live in America think they know exactly how Americans think and feel about this subject. Lol ok, pal. Ok.
Its not that we know how you feel. I know a large amount of people want stronger gun laws and for guns to be banned outright. But the majority want guns or couldnt care less. In America in 2015, there were more mass shootings than there were days (I think, my facts could be wrong). This amendment was put in place when the most dangerous thing you could own was a musket, you know,the things that even the most skilled loader took a minimum of about 30 seconds for one shot. I get that guns are a part of your culture now, and i get that this was put in place to deter a tyrannical government and invaders (The British). But that was before tanks, jets, bombers, guided missiles, drones, so on so forth. The gun companies are like drug dealers, and the people buying are addicts. It's also like you not using the metric system, you cant exactly just BAM! SWITCHED to the metric system. America cant just switch off guns, it will be a long and drawn out process if ever it happens

NoLuckManNoLuck You don't think the Founding Fathers anticipated when they created the Second Amendment that guns would get more advanced as time went on?

Why is it that America can prevent people from carrying and possessing grenades but not ammo?
They did try it went to scotus it was determined that ammo is an extension of the gun much like a nail is to a hammer
You Brits must keep in mind that there is a fundamental difference between the Americans and their government and everyone else's governments.
Yes. While incompetent politicians aren't rare, Trump takes it way too far.
The reality is that there's not much of a connection between rates of gun ownership and gun violence. In the UK we have similar gun laws to Sweden and only a fraction of the amount of gun owners. In the USA you just don't see consistency between gun ownership and rates of gun violence across states and cities.
America needs to fix its background check system, and they should probably have some more 'common sense' gun control.

From what he's told me, I wouldn't want to live in that part of the US without having something similar. The point is, in that environment they're tools for protection, not aids to manhood.
Exactly. So the people who genuinely need a gun will go through the legal process to get one, whereas the nutjobs that don't will stay the hell away from them.
Did you watch the ABC's 'Four Corners' program on 23/11/18?

I don't think realizes that we have a second amendment because of his country.
He's from Australia mate, you have your second amendment because you where scared of the British.
Yeah... the Boston tea party was a couple hundred years ago. The British can't even figure out how to leave the EU.... They're not coming for the guns.
I visited the USA and went to a general store.
It had groceries, magazines, camping gear, fishing gear, then next to the fishing gear were rifles and guns.
It was like nothing I had seen before.
"I'm gonna go to my local Walmart to pick up a fucking Assault rifle." *JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!*
Better take your tax stamp with you, because assault rifles are all but banned at the federal level.
FYI- 600,000,000 guns in the US. That ship on gun control set sail long ago- never to return!
