It's awful to say, but until there is this type of mass shooting at an elite Republican school, the gun problem will be blamed on the killer. The Republican elected official, as long as he or she is not personally affected, will not care about the gun problem; he or she will always prefer campaign financing from the NRA to the safety of the citizens.
The cycle of irony: mass shooting happens -> everyone says that something needs to be changed -> nothing is changed -> mass shooting happens again -> repeat

By having a weapon capable of spraying a hallway with bullets from a safe enough distance that he cannot be stopped until he runs out of ammo. Last time I checked, you can't rack up a double-digit body count with nunchucks, despite there also being video tutorials on how to use them online.

One of the leaders Biden met on his trip was the new Australian Prime Minister. We had a number of mass shootings until in 1996 a gunman shot and killed 35 people. The conservative government, in defiance of the protests of some of its base, but with the support of the overwhelming majority of the Australian people brought in a ban on semi-automatic weapons and other measures. We have not had a mass shooting since.
Your country had conviction, bravery, and an actual care for the wellbeing of its citizens. This country does not. Money, power, and influence are all our politicians seek. The massacre of CHILDREN won't do anything to change their depraved minds.
And Albanese isn't gonna undo that. That's something that everyone in your government understands and agrees on. Our conservatives are waaaaaayyyy out in right field and left is kinda all over the place. Our government is going to self-combust. You guys? Will be fine. Good day to ya!
As a Canadian, I believe that when 18-year-old boys wake up in a murderous mood or with premeditated self-defence in mind, their very limited (if any) access to handguns and assault weapons drastically limits or prevents shootings.
There is no such thing as a Legal assault weapon. An AR-15 is NOT an assault weapon. It does not have a 3 shot setting or a full auto setting. That is what an assault weapon is. Not what the Firearm looks like. But its capabilities. Any weapon that is not able to be used in a multi shot or full auto mode is not an assault weapon.

The only reason it's complicated in your country is that you have this idiotic idea that having a gun is somehow tied to your freedom. As a nation, you have put 200 year old Enlightenment ideas on a pedestal, despite the fact that the type of tyranny those ideas were a response to and the tools used to enforce that tyranny are long dead. It's your whole national mythology that's the problem. The forces that threaten liberty today are very different from the forces your Founding Fathers dealt with 200 years ago, but you haven't adapted to that, and the modern tyrants have slipped in unnoticed. As was predicted, they're wrapped in the flag and carrying a Bible. It is a testament to how far your country has deviated from its ideals that a sizable chunk of your population thinks those tyrants in waiting are actually heroic defenders of your Republic.

I live in Sydney, Australia. It has a population of 5.5 million people. I’m 55 years old, yet have never met anyone here that owns a gun. Nor have I ever seen a gun store here. America, you have no idea what it is like to live in a country without a gun culture and feel safe.
@@jameses4413 And there are nearly 40 million people. If that number is accurate, it means that CA has a very low rate of gun ownership, given the national rate of 1.20 guns per person.
My son has a daughter who just turned 5, and he called me up and cried. He said, "I want to move her to a safer country. Nothing is going to change here and it's just going to get worse. Why is there an inability to have measures that control fire arms?" I cried with him. We all feel the fear. Those kids, school teachers, parents, grandparents, communities - everyone grieving and full of fear. There is nothing fair about this. Nothing.
The best thing for any parent at this time is to move their kids out of this country. My daughter, son in law, and my grandson moved to Canada at the beginning of the year. And I miss them like crazy, but I've never been more sure that they made the best decision than I am today.
So glad I live in Australia. We had one mass shooting and the community, the country as a whole lobbied for gun control. We have commonsense gun laws. We don't have mass shootings in our schools. Americans need to raise their voices as a community to protect their children.
there are horrible people in the world, would be nice if that was not true. Why people believe by having guns, it will or they will be able to stop a nut from taking over their country. What it will do is start a revolution of our two party system. The idea is a good one, what really happens is another story. No teacher was armed and kids died, no police officer was ready to go in. We have a country with different people who all have different intentions. You have to be lucky you don't have that in Australia, why I would like to move there, but I see people are moving out of New Zealand to Australia and to other countries, we can't find the perfect place. I have found it due to weather, but not people. Even my original country Spain has problems, if you could arm them, they would start a war in no time. Yet today it's like Japan. Our politicians took money from Germany and now will never be able to pay it back. Is it the people's fault that a politician purposely took money knowing it would cause harm. We can't deal with politicians, if we had guns, we believe they can't take away our rights and land. Today where I live, the police will let a criminal get out of jail immediately. If this shooter killed people in California, our governor would go to give him a prize and even George soros might call him to congratulate him, along with our DA, would make sure he gets out to commit more crime. Every country is in danger of a old man who hates everyone because of what happened to him when he was young, and he would like to change the world into a war zone. When he dies, he son and all the organizations he established will continue his work.
I grew up in Iceland in the 90s. Never, EVER, did it even cross my mind that someone could come into my school and start shooting. Why? Because it doesn't happen in Iceland. It has never happened, in Icelands' history. And that history spans 1,000 years. I graduated in 2004. Since then, it still hasn't happened. I honestly cannot wrap my head around being an American child who has to attend school, knowing every day that this could happen. Or be an American parent, to send your kids off to school, knowing you might never see them again. America, what are you doing?
@@emsnewssupkis6453 you're honestly trying to lecture me on my own country's history? Seriously? Iceland has had schools for centuries. Not in the traditional sense, children were gathered in someone's home and a priest would do the teaching. And before that, kids were taught outside in nature. And yet, despite all this, over 1,000 years and yet, still no mass school shootings. If you want to know why, you can go and look it up. As for the bloody history, yes Iceland has one. As do all of the European countries. Wanna know why we are not still hacking each other to bits? Or shooting each other to peaces? Go look it up.
@@katrin896 That is not a 'school' and denying your Viking past is crazy.

Albert Einstein is too smart. The politicians will only use these events to push their agenda by increasing government regulation (not on guns, but people) to increase their power.
There's a lot of unique American experiences: Being murdered at school Being afraid of cops rather than feeling safe in their presence Going bankrupt to heal your bullet wound Way to go, "greatest country on earth".....

I have been seeing a lot of white people say that God has a preference for white people and its okay to harm others that dont look like you. We have to get on that Gods good side somehow....🤷🏾♂️
I’m pretty sure that those experiences are not unique to the US, especially since many Canadians come across the border to get American healthcare, the police in Russia are arresting and rounding up dissidents, and the Taliban is denying Afghan women the right to an education. And what would be the number-two nation to replace the USA as the greatest?

Europeans have been killing each other for 2,000+ years. In every war before America under Woodrow Wilson emerged, they have figured out how to have peace. Let them do it again; they know what to do. They are not stupid. But I sure feel that America got its pocket picked for $60 billion dollars by a know-nothing TV actor who became president, who knows nothing about war, and the resources needed to win one. Instead, Uncle Sugar had to step in and sell Treasury Bonds to the Communists and our WW2 foes, so we can fund this European skirmish.
It's not cowardice, they're super brave when it comes to thumbing their noses at their constituents while they stuff their pocket with gun lobby money.
This is just heart breaking. Recently an American who moved to my country in Europe said: "It is such a relief to know that my children can go to school without fear!" 🙏🙏🙏
So true. This is a completely US thing. Never hear it anywhere else on earth where kids at school regularly get killed by all the guns out there. Even more unique to the US is the pushback on gun control in that country following mass killings. One of my good friends and talented cardiologist just got a job and fled back to the US with his beautiful wife and tiny daughter, where we both were 10 yrs ago before coming home to Africa. I wish him well, right there in Texas, but lord, I would never return to the US to practice with all the racism and guns. Africa may not have dollars but I'm pretty sure I wont die in a bloody heap with strangers courtesy of some crazy gun-worshipping nut, fascist maga racist or not. Greetings from Africa
Sadly it's a cultural thing at root. Even US progressives, when discussing the need for some form of gun control, they go out of their way to clear out that they are not against gun ownership, that they too practiced shooting in their back yards etc. This only happens to the US because it's considered so normal to own and practice usage of guns in the first place. Where I live, gun ownership is generally banned unless you get a permission, and culturally, if somebody is tinkering with guns, people will assume there must be something going wrong with them, instead of thinking "it's ok, they're just exercising their constitutional rights". People still have their problems, mental health issues or otherwise, but their mind just doesn't go into killing their classmates or committing suicide by shooting people until somebody shoots them back, solely because guns are not supposed to be a part of their lives in the first place.
One of my best mates, an Australian, lives in the US, having married a US woman. His son has been diagnosed with Oppositional Defiance Disorder. So what presents do his US grandfather buy him? 3 guns. That’s right. 3 guns. He’s 13 years old. God help your country, because you won’t do it yourselves.
As an ex gun owner, hunter, sports shooting both shotgun, high powered large bore and small. As an Australian I had no issue with the gun buy back and extreme gun laws here. It doesn't put out a fire by throwing more fuel on it. Simply wake the heck up America.
There's an average of 200 people killed and 472 injured by guns each weekend in the United States, not including suicides. This is according to an analysis done by the Gun Violence Archive for the CDC. That's nearly 3.4 people shot every hour every weekend in the U.S. It makes me sick, but when little children are the victims it GETS ME VERY ANGRY.
@@gghhhgghhh3037 Well, he would have a reaction like "It's a very tragic day... for me personally" Actual quote from him after a shooting during his administration.
'A uniquely American way of death' is a chilling statement that should make everyone in Congress stop and think about the gun legislation in their country. NO CHILD should EVER have to be terrified of going to school - NO PARENT should EVER be terrified to send their kids to school. Along with the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, America is hurtling back into the Middle Ages - there are so-called *third world countries* who are more societally mature than America appears to be right now.
Every single Republican including Manchin and Sinema should be put on the spot anytime a tragic situation like a mass shooting occurs where innocent people are senselessly killed . The constant empty " thoughts and prayers " and yet no action in working towards sensible gun reforms is beyond infuriating. My anger and rage extends to the republican voters who continue to vote for and support these republican politicians knowing that nothing will change just to spite the Democrats. These so called conservative voters have blood on their hands as well whether they realize it or not.
Lmao. The middle ages didn't try to outlaw bow and arrows or swords. Children back then had to worry about raiders coming and killing their families then being enslaved themselves. Also if you ever go to a 3rd world country you will see atrocities that could have been prevented with guns. It's worth mentioning that more crime has been stopped by guns than have been perpetrated by them.
Yep. Great to help Ukraine fight the Russians in Putin's proxy war, but this country is sinking even with a sane man in the White House. Praying for a solution. Praying for people to figure out what to do; school resource officers, everyone argues about that; virtual learning instead of in-person learning, no one can agree on that; curricula, no agreement on that. When it comes to gun violence we are on the Titanic. "I will not allow my eyes to slumber..." Psalm 132

I'm in Europe and have visited the US many times and it amazes me how guns are considered normal and even essential by so many Americans. It's so ingrained in the culture its going to be hard to change that mindset, which has Americans trapped in suspicion and fear. The opposite of freedom...
Slaves don't own guns, free men and women do. Our country was founded on capitalism and the right to bear arms. Of course its ingrained in our country and that's not a bad thing.

In my opinion this is all the devil because there’s no way you live to 18 years old just to suddenly think of killing 20 children
As long as American vote in representatives that value the rights of guns over the lives of children, this will be a “normal” event. Thoughts and prayers will not change it…
Spin it democrats! Spin it! Use it for voters! This is your moment! Give a speech! Blame tucker carlson and Trump. Trump must have done this. Make this crisis about your party.
I think it’s fair to say that Turd Cruz and other Republicans are anti abortion because they want more children around simply so they can shoot them or sexually abuse them.
My condolences to the families and hope for laws on firearms to be voted asap. I cannot understand how GOP can be pro life at birth and be against the control of fire arms. You did not listen to President Obama in 2012 but please listen to President Biden now.

@@youtubesucks1499 Simple. 1. Increase spending on mental healthcare that was drastically cut during the Reagan years and following presidents. Get the people suffering from mental health issues the help they need. 2. Outlaw all automatic and semi automatic weapons. Rifles and hand guns. All of them. If it means to repeal the second amendment or amend the amendment, do so. Close down the legal person to person sales of firearms. Gun shows etc. by making it permitted only by licensed individuals. Then have a nation wide buyback, confiscation and melt down of all banned weapons. Also, make it a requirement to have a license to own a permitted firearm with background check, psych evaluations, and safety classes. Renewable every 2 to 4 years. Make it legal and mandated for the ATF to keep digital records of all firearm sales. The ATF is the only govt. agency that has, by law, not been permitted to keep digital records.

Guns are in our culture man. People’s identities are wrapped in gun ownership. Our nations identity is wrapped up in gun ownership. People reason it’s how we freed ourselves from England’s tyranny and if we give up our guns we will be subjected to authoritarian rule again. A lot of people feel that way. Not to mention evil groups like the NRA doing everything they can to keep guns easily accessible. Corrupt politicians sho are afraid to take a stand and get behind gun legislation. Republicans, to hold power, can’t take such a stand. Everything is about re-election.
Picture yourself or your kids in that classroom while in the 2nd or 3rd grade. All your political hatred made that moment. It's perfectly normal to hate people in this society. We need to grow up right now. This is hatred unleashed.
I remember when hatred and spewing lies was absolutely unacceptable. Now it's normalized as a protected right under "free speech". That's not a good developement, people. You need to work on that. Hatred needs to be treated (with love, preferrably), lying needs to be punished in a consequential way, especially for public offices. Hate and lies serve the abrasion of freedom by bringing misery and fear and covering up dishonesty.
This path to hatred was started by Speaker of the House Knute Gingrich, and it was perfected by the man I voted for for president, Donald Trump. This hate is destroying our country. We are looking at our demise in slow motion.
Racists, RW nut jobs, white supremacists, Evangelical pastors, RW media, police and even members of congress all spread hate. They obviously do not have respect for other peoples´ lives. The US has imploded and become the worst country in the free world.
They need to discuss the children who go home after this is happening & the psychological damage that has been done to them , the Screaming and their nightmares. The NRA supporters do not care about any of that as long as their pockets are being lined.
@blyt. You are absolutely correct. These are lifetime scars. Many will never feel safe again in their lives. And most will suffer PTSD. It's unconscionable
People need to be trained in school in this garbage public education system everyone needs to be trained how to use a firearm 100% , Don't talk about saving children's life if you're supporting abortion either 🤮🤬

Could be me a vetran often have this thought, believe it or not a friend of mine in the service died in a softball game, he broke his leg and somehow this got in his blood stream and he was DOA at the near Hostital. Always seemed so sad to he was so young, And we are talking about children, who never get to experience life or having families of their own. What I am saying is life Is so preceious and to keep saying there is no answer, when there are so many examples shown by the data in other countries that have been successful, we have to at least give it a chance what we are doing now is nothing but giving up, on the most precious thing we have, the lives of our love ones and children..
@@johnnywalker8815 dumb comments get dumb responses. Gun control is just another word for democrats taking away the rights of citizens while allowing for more mass shootings. Gun control doesn’t stop mass shootings. And democrats know that. They just want political points. Not to actually save the lives of children.
And yet, ignorant fascists will elect him again because gas prices are high or another silly excuse. Conservatives want to conserve their ignorance and imaginary friends in the sky delusions.
No. The treason party opposes reforms because its members are being paid to oppose reforms. The less blatantly treasonous party is hiding behind the blatantly treasonous party by using the filibuster as an excuse because they're too chickenshit to actually try to do things. You're giving them far too much credit.
What’s telling and grotesque is the complete lack of outrage about the continued gun violence from the right. Even if they aren’t calling for gun control, it’s not normal to not be outraged by this. The fact that they aren’t voicing it tells you all you need to know about their priorities.
What's appalling is the lack of common sense from the Left. The criminals will still be able to get guns. Since the Left has defunded the police.... maybe people need to be able to protect themselves. I don't think crazies are respecting the signs that say this is a gun free zone.
Here in Australia we were rivaling the USA with mass shootings, and our Port Arthur massacre set the world record at the time. We had a gun culture. There were protests about if laws changed it would curb our freedoms. We haven't had a single mass shooting in almost 30years.
I talked with an other Australian that had a heated argument with an American, while playing platystation. The American got furious and called the dude a Cia spy and liar, because he honestly believed Australia was a thing CIA made up so they could take away people's guns referring to the incident in Port Arthur. There is no winning over stupidity like that. By the way, you have such a beautiful country and you only made more beautiful by increasing you safety by removing unnecessary guns from your society.

And some Americans who do vote really don’t know who or what they are voting for or against on their election ballots each cycle.

It's awful to say, but until there is this type of mass shooting at an elite Republican school, the gun problem will be blamed on the killer.

We have not had a mass shooting since.

As a Canadian, I believe that when 18-year-old boys wake up in a murderous mood or with premeditated self-defence in mind, their very limited (if any) access to handguns and assault weapons drastically limits or prevents shootings.

There is no such thing as a Legal assault weapon. An AR-15 is NOT an assault weapon. It does not have a 3 shot setting or a full auto setting. That is what an assault weapon is.

I wish him well, right there in Texas, but lord, I would never return to the US to practice with all the racism and guns. Africa may not have dollars but I'm pretty sure I wont die in a bloody heap with strangers courtesy of some crazy gun-worshipping nut, fascist maga racist or not. Greetings from Africa
The 2nd amendment is there to protect us from Tyrannical government... Not for this
My mate from Kenya is returning for his holiday, he invites me to go over there, I think it’s gonna be a nice place.
Well said 👏 from the 🇬🇧
Which country in Africa? There are differences.
Sadly it's a cultural thing at root. Even US progressives, when discussing the need for some form of gun control, they go out of their way to clear out that they are not against gun ownership, that they too practiced shooting in their back yards etc. This only happens to the US because it's considered so normal to own and practice usage of guns in the first place. Where I live, gun ownership is generally banned unless you get a permission, and culturally, if somebody is tinkering with guns, people will assume there must be something going wrong with them, instead of thinking "it's ok, they're just exercising their constitutional rights". People still have their problems, mental health issues or otherwise, but their mind just doesn't go into killing their classmates or committing suicide by shooting people until somebody shoots them back, solely because guns are not supposed to be a part of their lives in the first place.
One of my best mates, an Australian, lives in the US, having married a US woman. His son has been diagnosed with Oppositional Defiance Disorder. So what presents do his US grandfather buy him? 3 guns. That’s right. 3 guns. He’s 13 years old. God help your country, because you won’t do it yourselves.

The fact that this can happen in Texas utterly obliterates the argument that more armed civilians is an effective deterrent against mass shooters.
Shhhh....dont let the Texan gun huggers know it....the facts might get them in a huff.

No statistic is supporting your claim.
Texas is about to become Fortnite. Still going to be mass shootings.
There's an average of 200 people killed and 472 injured by guns each weekend in the United States, not including suicides. This is according to an analysis done by the Gun Violence Archive for the CDC. That's nearly 3.4 people shot every hour every weekend in the U.S. It makes me sick, but when little children are the victims it GETS ME VERY ANGRY.

@@gghhhgghhh3037 Well, he would have a reaction like "It's a very tragic day... for me personally"
Actual quote from him after a shooting during his administration.
'A uniquely American way of death' is a chilling statement that should make everyone in Congress stop and think about the gun legislation in their country. NO CHILD should EVER have to be terrified of going to school - NO PARENT should EVER be terrified to send their kids to school. Along with the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, America is hurtling back into the Middle Ages - there are so-called *third world countries* who are more societally mature than America appears to be right now.
Hurtling back to the middle ages? more like the dark ages.
Every single Republican including Manchin and Sinema should be put on the spot anytime a tragic situation like a mass shooting occurs where innocent people are senselessly killed . The constant empty " thoughts and prayers " and yet no action in working towards sensible gun reforms is beyond infuriating. My anger and rage extends to the republican voters who continue to vote for and support these republican politicians knowing that nothing will change just to spite the Democrats.
These so called conservative voters have blood on their hands as well whether they realize it or not.
Lmao. The middle ages didn't try to outlaw bow and arrows or swords. Children back then had to worry about raiders coming and killing their families then being enslaved themselves. Also if you ever go to a 3rd world country you will see atrocities that could have been prevented with guns. It's worth mentioning that more crime has been stopped by guns than have been perpetrated by them.
Yep. Great to help Ukraine fight the Russians in Putin's proxy war, but this country is sinking even with a sane man in the White House. Praying for a solution. Praying for people to figure out what to do; school resource officers, everyone argues about that; virtual learning instead of in-person learning, no one can agree on that; curricula, no agreement on that.

And to Biden' remark about Kevlar covered deers, the guns were intended by the founding fathers to keep the government in line. And still are intended for the same.
That's the only American response, thoughts and prayers and candle light vigils, and that's as far as it goes.
Thoughts and prayers. It began as a cliché. It became a joke. It has putrefied into a national shame.
If Americans do turn heavenward in pain and grief for the lost children of Uvalde, Texas, they may hear the answer delivered in the Bible through the words of Isaiah:
“And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.”

Abbott has zero morality....or is seriously dysfunctional. In either case, you wonder how he could be elected Governor of a state as important as Texas.

Exactly!
Texas laws promote such behavior.
This is an open border issue, not an American gun issue but nice try clown
@@vitaminckillscovid103 you must've missed the part where *Greg Abbott* identified the shooter as a US citizen living in the community *not* as a migrant or immigrant.
You can buy guns at a gun show in Texas and there is no background check. Republican lawmakers and Governor Abbott have blood on their hands.

I'm a hypocrite because I'm a ex-gang banger and even I say " the gun violence is out of control"
I am an American who decided to move to Turkey. People were asking me: Is it safe there? Are you sure??.. It’s the best decision I ever made. Ask yourself: is it safe living in America??

Same, except Netherlands. Best choice of my life. Wish I did it earlier.
No it is not safe in America. I won’t travel to US again
I travel to South America a lot and people always ask me if it’s safe!! I always tell them its a lot safer there than in the US!
@@cathiea5996 ask the Russians and Chinese about gun confiscation and the Turks if they spared children during the Armenian genocide

Pro birth party. Once you draw your first breath, life is a crap shoot
The GOP anti abortion law, is to make sure they don't run out of targets.
I think it’s fair to say the Republicans are anti abortion because they want more children around simply so they can shoot them or sexually abuse them.
Let the baby be born so it can grow up to be murdered at school...🤷♀️

Soooo... you think you can stop a crazy person from getting a gun?
@@youtubesucks1499 Yes. It can be done.
@@Menelvagore Ok.. so tell me the plan.
How do you plan on:
1. Identifing the crazy.
2. Stop them from buying a gun.
3. Know the exact location of their attack.
So what's the plan? Even the FBI can't do that.
@@youtubesucks1499 Simple.
1. Increase spending on mental healthcare that was drastically cut during the Reagan years and following presidents. Get the people suffering from mental health issues the help they need.
2. Outlaw all automatic and semi automatic weapons. Rifles and hand guns. All of them. If it means to repeal the second amendment or amend the amendment, do so. Close down the legal person to person sales of firearms. Gun shows etc. by making it permitted only by licensed individuals. Then have a nation wide buyback, confiscation and melt down of all banned weapons. Also, make it a requirement to have a license to own a permitted firearm with background check, psych evaluations, and safety classes. Renewable every 2 to 4 years. Make it legal and mandated for the ATF to keep digital records of all firearm sales. The ATF is the only govt. agency that has, by law, not been permitted to keep digital records. Everything is done by paper file. That is 100% deliberate.
3.Moot Point
@@Menelvagore Yeah.. not possible.
Can you identify every crazy? Nope.
So take any rifle you want off the market. I will buy the same rifle on the deep web. It will be big business.

@Alex Alex if the language of the Constitution serves to enable us slaughter our countrymen unlike any other developed country, then it is the responsibility of the people to amend it.

Not just in a school. Dying in a mass shooting of *any* kind is a nearly 100% uniquely American cause of death. Mass shootings are either *exceedingly* rare or nonexistent in pretty much *every* other country thst isn't a war zone.
My parents grew up in Korea. I'd be *absolutely* shocked if the country had even *1* mass shooting by a private citizen in the more than 20 years thst they lived there!
The last shooting in California at the church was Chinese.
@Win Big with Lena & Mike France has had more mass shootings in 2022 than days in the year? GTFO!
@Win Big with Lena & Mike No way near as bad as the US.
@@gorgthesalty few times a year? Try a few times a MONTH! The "smaller" school shootings don't get national coverage anymore😥
i hear you, being Asian too, guns is an alien concept to us, only the police and the army has them, we pay them to protect us - no need to carry a gun
"The deadliest shooting in a US grade school in over a decade..." Meanwhile in my country where guns are prohibited: No shootings in any kind of school ever. Do the math America.
Yeah the gun lobbyists really don't want us to think about other countries. They just keep trying to argue that the only way to protect ourselves from guns is to pump even MORE guns into the system. 🙄
Yea but you live in Communism. And have NO freedom...
And u know it..
@@heff-a1830 another problem America has is brutal ignorance.. LOL
Meanwhile a country like Japan probably hasn't had 19 gun related homicides in the last 5 years combined but the home of Nintendo and Sony probably don't have video games or mental health problems despite having high suicide rates etc
Guns are in our culture man.
People’s identities are wrapped in gun ownership. Our nations identity is wrapped up in gun ownership.
People reason it’s how we freed ourselves from England’s tyranny and if we give up our guns we will be subjected to authoritarian rule again. A lot of people feel that way.
Not to mention evil groups like the NRA doing everything they can to keep guns easily accessible. Corrupt politicians sho are afraid to take a stand and get behind gun legislation. Republicans, to hold power, can’t take such a stand. Everything is about re-election.
Picture yourself or your kids in that classroom while in the 2nd or 3rd grade. All your political hatred made that moment. It's perfectly normal to hate people in this society. We need to grow up right now. This is hatred unleashed.
Hatred is a human trait, yes. But we don’t have mass shootings at this rate in any other industrialized nation. It’s the guns. Period.
Worse that hatred for color.
I remember when hatred and spewing lies was absolutely unacceptable. Now it's normalized as a protected right under "free speech". That's not a good developement, people. You need to work on that.
Hatred needs to be treated (with love, preferrably), lying needs to be punished in a consequential way, especially for public offices. Hate and lies serve the abrasion of freedom by bringing misery and fear and covering up dishonesty.
This path to hatred was started by Speaker of the House Knute Gingrich, and it was perfected by the man I voted for for president, Donald Trump. This hate is destroying our country. We are looking at our demise in slow motion.
Racists, RW nut jobs, white supremacists, Evangelical pastors, RW media,
police and even members of congress all spread hate. They obviously do not have respect for other peoples´ lives. The US has imploded and become the worst country in the free world.
reg abbott and cops should resign be arrested or fired
They need to discuss the children who go home after this is happening & the psychological damage that has been done to them , the Screaming and their nightmares. The NRA supporters do not care about any of that as long as their pockets are being lined.
That’s the problem Greed!
@blyt. You are absolutely correct. These are lifetime scars. Many will never feel safe again in their lives. And most will suffer PTSD. It's unconscionable
We have the power to change this.
Vote! we must hold this people accountable for not changing the gun laws!
Please explain how ANY gun law would have prevented this or ANY act of gun violence... I'll wait
I 👍 agree.
They changed the guns laws to make it worse
@@batmanforpresident9655 Background checks. Mental health awareness check. You're mental, no gun for you.

Imagine if your a veteran who spent decades abroad fighting in the name of protecting it's nation only ended up its family killed by it's own people they've protected

Could be me a vetran often have this thought, believe it or not a friend of mine in the service died in a softball game, he broke his leg and somehow this got in his blood stream and he was DOA at the near Hostital. Always seemed so sad to he was so young, And we are talking about children, who never get to experience life or having families of their own. What I am saying is life Is so preceious and to keep saying there is no answer, when there are so many examples shown by the data in other countries that have been successful, we have to at least give it a chance what we are doing now is nothing but giving up, on the most precious thing we have, the lives of our love ones and children..
Imagine voting for Biden even though he campaigned on raising gas prices, then being surprised by high gas prices.
@@ryanelliott6706 what does this comment have to do with gun control.
@@johnnywalker8815 dumb comments get dumb responses.
Gun control is just another word for democrats taking away the rights of citizens while allowing for more mass shootings. Gun control doesn’t stop mass shootings. And democrats know that. They just want political points. Not to actually save the lives of children.
Why do gun laws expire?
Thank Gregg Abbott for making guns available to every nut jobs in Texas.
And yet, ignorant fascists will elect him again because gas prices are high or another silly excuse. Conservatives want to conserve their ignorance and imaginary friends in the sky delusions.
Agreed
The GQP opposes any reforms because it won't stop everyone. It's worth doing something even if it stops only one.
No, it's because your reforms strip away Constitutional Rights in exchange for hollow promises of safety!
No. The treason party opposes reforms because its members are being paid to oppose reforms. The less blatantly treasonous party is hiding behind the blatantly treasonous party by using the filibuster as an excuse because they're too chickenshit to actually try to do things.
You're giving them far too much credit.

@@thetrib-1eofjudah758 It means exactly what was said The only clarification is it won't stop every psycho, bout it will stop at least some
What’s telling and grotesque is the complete lack of outrage about the continued gun violence from the right. Even if they aren’t calling for gun control, it’s not normal to not be outraged by this. The fact that they aren’t voicing it tells you all you need to know about their priorities.
GREED from those in a position of power.
The freaky Trump-lover militia dudes need their kevlar and assault rifles to prance around and play Big Man Soldier wannabes.
Not just their priorities, but who they are as people, what's truly in their darkened hearts.
@@kateuhler7803 There certainly is a bizarre celebration of low empathy among the uppity far right folks.
What's appalling is the lack of common sense from the Left.
The criminals will still be able to get guns.
Since the Left has defunded the police.... maybe people need to be able to protect themselves.
I don't think crazies are respecting the signs that say this is a gun free zone.
Our condolences to the families 🌷💐🌷 RIP VIP never forgotten
Here in Australia we were rivaling the USA with mass shootings, and our Port Arthur massacre set the world record at the time.
We had a gun culture.
There were protests about if laws changed it would curb our freedoms.
We haven't had a single mass shooting in almost 30years.
This is a country where half the country believes the other half drinks the blood of babies. Their problems are WAY deeper than gum laws.
I talked with an other Australian that had a heated argument with an American, while playing platystation. The American got furious and called the dude a Cia spy and liar, because he honestly believed Australia was a thing CIA made up so they could take away people's guns referring to the incident in Port Arthur.
There is no winning over stupidity like that.
By the way, you have such a beautiful country and you only made more beautiful by increasing you safety by removing unnecessary guns from your society.

When my husband said to me: "what would you say if I got a job in the USA?" My answer was: "I don't want to move there as I do not want to risk my child getting shot at school." The bizarre truth is that I am not exaggerating when I say that. It is time for you to vote the gun lobby out of power.
@not important Europe
The gun lobby is literally half of the 340 million people in America. No. That's not an exaggeration . You won't be voting the guns out of our hands and we will absolutely fight about it . And when reason fails force won't. More people die in car accidents than get shot in America. That's a factual statement . And half of the gun related deaths are suicide. With an fairly high number being those killed by the would be victims of a violent crime . So we don't care at all what you think. Stay where you are , you are not smart enough to be an American.
I have an online friend who lives up in Canada and told me that she has never ever visited the USA. When I asked her why not, she told me "because everybody there is walking around carrying guns." ;(
@@munimathbypeterfelton6251 I have been to the USA, to Texas to be exact and it was amazing. I just can not accept that people think school shootings are normal and are not voting out the enablers as most of the population would want common sense rules and regulations that prevent kids getting killed at school with assault riffles. :(
@Secret It’s largely because so many Americans still don’t vote, period. And some Americans who do vote really don’t know who or what they are voting for or against on their election ballots each cycle. In the end, the damage is dire due to the lack of consistency all around. Plus, many Americans truly do not like or want change because they are afraid of it.
As a Texan, I am embarrassed by our governor and our (almost) representatives. No permit carry was a stunt. They are all to blame. All of the fine representatives of each and every state that does nothing about this, YOU ARE TO BLAME!
