A lot, They sure are not from where I live, I've only ever heard of maybe a couple shootings in my town, And a lot of us own guns, go figure lot of gun owners, not a lot of shootings in my small town, yet you go to a big city with higher rates of poverty, massive amounts of drugs going around, over crowding, gangs, etc, and you get more shootings, And go figure a lot of gang members don't use legal fucking guns to do these crimes.
We defend it because the 2nd amendment isn't about temporary security. It is intended for last resort security which history has shown to be necessary to have. It also is a huge deterrent for foreign invasion. Not only are you fighting the military if you invade, but every single citizen. Would you invade a country with a gun behind every blade of grass? Probably not. Freedom comes with responsibilities and flaws. It's not an easy thing to have. If you want freedom you accept its responsibilities and flaws while doing your best to fix them without sacrificing liberty for temporary security. Mental health and decline in morality also is a big reason for a lot of American problems.
This level of gun ownership is simply put NOT NECESSARY for the freedoms that we and many other countries enjoy. I do not support the notion that civilian firearm ownership would have any real impact on modern invasion. Even with millions of Americans armed to the teeth, it's just not effective against coordinated military attacks consisting of drones, ships, and bombs. Even so, the FACT that we have really only use these weapons on ourselves, should be a stark reminder that many lose much more than their freedom, in contrast to the people of other free countries, that don't have such a common and avoidable sacrifice. If this is what you are a proponent of (protection from invasion) then military spending is your goal. That has its own major issues, but that's an entirely different subject at this point.
@@doomjuice.1652 it's fine to love guns and america, but I don't see guns as a right. In fact, there are a lot of reasons to call an American's love for guns a symptom of brainwashing, as nearly unanimously through reason, the disillusioned folks around the globe would agree that it is an earned privilege to own a gun.
@@kvabskalle because the elites and the media mislead people into believing that we have an explosion of “gun violence” (a term created by people pushing an agenda) and that it’s firearms to blame, not culture. They blame the tool only when it backs their narrative, they want more control so it’s necessary for the citizenry to abandon the best tool they have to protect themselves from the government. More people are killed with fists and feet every year than rifles but you only hear about how dangerous “assault weapons” are. Another idiotic term, they assign motive to inanimate objects to further their agenda of disarmament.
@@kvabskalle 100%. Our culture is effed. We largely have no morals or principles, have given up on family and community and I think it’s going to get much worse before it gets better. Instead of acknowledging the importance of the family unit we look to the government for solutions.
But... How many of those firearm deaths in America were the results of the criminals being the ones shot???... or do you want to leave that out of the equation?
Raky 2427 so your telling me that If someone who made a bad choice and threatens me I have the right it do nothing and give into his demands. Also yes more deaths. That’s good and BAD people are dying . What’s stopping the criminal from getting a gun illegally? Nothing making things illegal doesn’t work look st drugs you can’t keep them out of a federal prison
@@Raky2427 Actually less people die. 1 to 2 million times per year guns are used to PREVENT crime, usually without even being fired. Gun deaths in America have steadily going down since the 1990's and 2/3 of gun deaths are from suicide.
Yeah and since that happened they banned a lot of guns and restricted the ease of buying a gun. And now their gun homicides and suicides have dropped substantially. They havent had a single mass shooting since. Unlike USA which will continue to promote guns and protect the 2nd amendment no matter how many mass shootings there are.
@@Crusage they're government has also started to become more tyrannical with their actions such as the limiting the press, which is the most restricted in the Western World. They also tried to pass a law making it so only authorized Australian News Companies would be allowed to run in Australia, but I don't think they passed that one due to a lot of opposition. They love using tragic events as an excuse to take away firearms. We ain't letting them do that to us here. And if those fuckers in Congress do try something, we ain't giving up our guns.
@@markhorton8578 honestly the fact that you ask me just shows how uneducated you are about world events and how it affects everyday so this will be the only reply will you get dumbass
A question that I have for this videos creators is that "if you were a criminal planning a mass shooting, would you rather commit it in a pro gun area where you know that someone might have a gun that would fire rounds at you. Or would you commit it in an anti gun area where you know no one will have a gun and no one will be able to protect themselves.
A question that I have for you is that ”if you were a normal citizen owning a firearm, wouldn’t the risk be higher that you would use that gun in a possible crime than If you didn’t have a firearm?” The answer is yes, and if you want proof, just look outside of America.
@@sebastienholmes548 The United States have a 4-5x higher murder rate per 100.000 people. The rest is mostly non-violent such as pick pocketing. If you can not see any correlation between the amount of guns and deadly crime rate when comparing with other countries, then I’m not going to waste my time trying to convince you.
You will not get a fair comparison when comparing yourself to Europe’s poorest country. The reasons for their homocide rates is based on many other factors than just guns. America shares most similarities with western European countries so please stick to comparing with them. The reason you want guns is because you like guns, not because you need them. Just be honest with yourself..
@may allah give u more virgin lmao thanks for bullying me on my page and giving me views. You’re too ignorant to realize America truly does not rank #1 in actually ANYTHING. Besides ranking #1 for the largest military but it’s literally so much money invested in it it’s crazy. We have way too many mass shootings and gun violence here. We need to put minimally a background check on all gun purchases. The stats show that putting a background check on the guns declines gun violence. If you still disagree with me you’re literally ignorant and won’t accept the truth. You’re too caught up in your ignorant political views. 🖕🏻
There were 11,000 gun homicides in the USA in 2016 UK 26 same year.Total gun related deaths in USA 2016 32,000 -500 were accidental shootings the rest suicide
@@kethughes8266 only 11,000 out of 350 million to 400 million is taking account of our undocumented citizens and then your 11,000 looks even smaller when you take in account anywhere from 500,000 to 1.2 million crimes were stopped from either the use of a firearm or just the presence of a firearm.... You could take your fake perceived safety while you wait for those "racist fascist" cops to show up, the rest of us Real Americans will be taking care of ourselves like we always have
boomtao where do you live on mars? Brazil its not peacefull ,not at all .One of the most countrys in the world big on tax of murder rate per habitant go google it.
Me watching this video. Also me : that's so less for America. (goes to Walmart and buys another four guns). Don't worry I got your message. Thanks for the video.
@everything erina Lol, no you can’t. If you buy a gun from a gun store you have to go through a background check, and a waiting period. You can buy ammo at walmarts anywhere but california, but thats about it unless they have the licenses to legally sell guns.
@@everythingerina9379 Oh Heaven's no; Walmart has a Federal Firearms License, and a dealer as such must compel a buyer to fill out a Form 4473 and submit to an 'instant' background check. If the buyer's name comes up in a national database as being a 'prohibited person' the sale is refused. The process to clear a buyer takes perhaps a half hour. Maybe more. I believe too in some states or locales, and with a few types of firearms, a buyer must get permission from law enforcement before even trying to purchase said firearm from a bona fide dealer.
How about 2/3 of those so called homicides are "SUICIDES" Gang related killings, self defense, and police killings account for most of the balance. Outright homicides are a small balance of the total
its one 3rd and they used the same statistics for all countries, shocking isnt it? how much out of proportionally more you have these issues compared to develloped western democraties ( these are even the most gun related european countries, lol in most the numbers are even much lower)
The U.K. has 2,068 violent crimes per 100,000 people, the U.S. has 466 violent crimes per 100,000 people. This is according to telegraph.co.uk and BBC. Not to mention the majority of all “mass,” shootings is committed with a handgun. In the year of 2017, according to the CDC security council, there was 39,773 gun related deaths. 14,542 of those were gun homicides, 25,231 were accidental/suicide: 36.565% were actual homicides, 63.435% were accidental/suicide. Also let’s get this right, an assault weapon can be anything you assault someone with, car, knife, etc.. An Assault Rifle is a military grade weapon that for as long as you hold the trigger bullets will come out, or until you run out of ammo. Examples of these weapons are M16s, AK-47s, etc.. You may purchase these kinds of weapons only if they were made before 1986, it also requires a extremely long, and difficult, process of tests, and to see if you’re eligible. The weapon everyone wants to ban is the AR-15. The AR-15 isn’t an assault rifle, it is a semi-automatic rifle, per trigger pull a bullet will come out, Examples: M14, SKS, AR-15, etc.. The AR-15, and other semi-autos, are one of the least likely weapons used in “mass,” shootings. Since 1950, according to USA Today, the all mass shootings have occurred, except for one, in gun free zones. Something interesting to go along with that is a certain town in Georgia by the name of Kennesaw. In 1982 the city passed a law that required all head of households are to have a firearm, the town saw a 89% decrease in its burglary rate, compared to the 10.4% drop of the whole state. Today Kennesaw has 85% lower crime rate compared to the National average. This was all recorded by Gary Kleck’s “Crime Control through the Private use of Armed Force.”
Yet australia has had 7 gun massacres post 96. We have the most firearms on the planet but we don't have number one gun deaths or gun homicides on the planet.
The false equivalence is of the number of gun per person. Most law abiding people who own guns in the US, own multiple guns. Also they failed to compared per capita on mass shootings. They just used total. That is another obfuscation.
as a person who lived in England, Australia and Japan, I think no one needs to carry a gun. in Japan, kids and ladies come home at mid night and I personally, never ever feel scared at night walking home. Carrying guns, for me, is about men's egos and control. but, at the end of the day, my utopia is a place with no guns and focus is family, not control.
I wonder if Europe is really that bad. Of course, I haven't been there recently, but the media always exaggerates. My guess is that Europe is the same as 5 years ago, with or without the Muslims. Just now, we have a name or group to blame.
I moved to Australia due to my wife being an Aussie.Ive gotta say I miss my firearms!Australian gun laws suck major ass.One day I'll talk her round to moving back to Texas with me.Ive got some wicked guns waiting back at my parents house.God bless America.Ex USMC.
You still miss shooting people… Sad. Kinda incredible considering in Australia you don’t have to worry about some idiot pulling a gun at you. But I guess you still want to live in danger just to have the excuse to kill when in danger.
@@kako2283 America today isn’t the wild west as it once was. No doubt about it. But America today is definitely still the wild west compared to Australia. And you’re just another classic typical trump supporter.
He used per capita in the video, still not an accurate video as there are far more variables to gun violence than just gun control, Mexico is a prime example of that, Strict gun control, High gun violence, Then the UK is the opposite, Strict gun control, Lower gun violence, Although the UK has it's own unique problems due to this, Such as acid attacks, And you lose the right to defend yourself.... Because apparently a good guys life is less important than a bad guys life.
geo tan Well that will be an interesting day, Americans are all talk. To base a whole countries way of life around a tool that kills, is not the way to live free!!
I know what guns are for and saying that I am dumb and uneducated just proves how stupid you are , seeing that this is about guns in America. If you own guns and live in Europe then you will be bound by the laws of the country you live in.
***** All the population of Switzerland are required by law to own a gun, because they have national service in that country. Swiss men, all considered part of the militia after mandatory arms training, are permitted to keep their service rifles at home. All guns in Northern Europe are licensed and subject to that countries gun laws. You say that 'almost everyone in Switzerland have guns as well as in northern european countries' so why then are people in Europe committing less crime with guns than in the US? Why are we discussing guns in Europe when we should be discussing guns in the US?
Man I bought like 10 more guns since this vid came out come on America we need to bump those numbers up and make 60 percent of the worlds firearm population
"guns in america compared to the rest of the world, also we're going to turn this into an unrelated propaganda video after we're done telling you how many guns people have"
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO DID IT AND WHO DIED. Innocent people are still dying and that's the point. Yes, some were suicides, but most were murder. Is it really worth killing children just for the illusion of freedom and safety by having no gun control?
I love how he makes cherry picks his facts so bad. Like for example he points out gun homicide rate instead of just actual homicide rate. If gun control works like you liberals say then all violent crime should go down.
88.9 guns per 100. That's pretty damn cool! So proud to be American because I get to do things I want without having my freedoms be limited by the actions of other people.
The UK has had "one" mass shooting since 1997??!! Please. I'm pro-gun but I'm OK with real common sense gun control. This video is full of cherry-picked data.
Look again, i think you'll find the UK has actually had 4, not that its a good thing or anything. Something you might not of also known is that the first mass shooting here was similar to the Sandy Hook massacre, overnight Britains gun laws and control changed to its current state over night. And it's been this way since. That's the thing i don't get about the Americans, they've had one, hell hundreds by the looks of it but the people still seem more concerned over their gun culture then lives of children. I think the Americans need to wake up and smell the coffee, like Obama said, the US is the only developed country you still see this stuff happening on a regular basis. Remember that when US rights and laws around guns were originally created, guns were muskets that had a pathetic range, stopping power and took about 10 minutes to reload after every shot . I don't think the founding fathers considered the leap in technology one day, i think they'd of reconsidered if they could see what's the standard now.
MrHellested So in the event of a school shooting the killer might get one kill and in the one minute 45 seconds the gunman would most defiantly have been taken out. Compared to any automatic weapon of today. I'm just trying to put into perspective, the founding farthers could never have guessed what the technology would be capable of in 50, 100, 200 years time etc.
your right. you can just use a knife and do it much quicker, cleaner, and quietly. It's not a gun problem. It's a people problem. Did you here of the terrorist attack in Texas a while ago? Of course not because the only ones that died were the terrorists. The media only publicizes the negative.This is in a state that has little to no gun control. California has the most strict gun control and 14 people were killed by terrorist. All these mass shootings happen in areas that are "gun free".
+MrHellested Guns are more convenient and encouraging than the brutish physicality of knives. They're an enabler. Removing guns does't eliminate monstrous people, but it serves as an inconvenience to the comparatively less determined ones, like how bars on a house is a deterrent and practical inconvenience to burglars. Fewer deaths overall is a true increase in security.
JustAnotherGaian There will always be bad people in every country. Giving those people potential easy access to the best killing machines on the planet doesn't help though. I mean at least with a knife you have a much, much higher chance of defending yourself, nothing you can do about a bullet. The way Americans see it though is that you're only taking guns from the good guys and the result would be more bad guys with guns. For a while yea it probably would be like that, they have a lot of guns to find. But eventually the US would see a drop in all types of crime. Like you said, guns are an enabler, they may encourage someone to go through with the crime, you have a greater sense of confidence and security. Without one though, even with a knife, attempting the crime suddenly becomes less appealing, because it fail in so many ways and probably will. We in the UK are not defenseless from criminals with guns. If a criminal has a gun, then so do the cops. They break it all out, in fact they'll break out the sniper rifles and SMG's for a dude walking around with a Machete so.. It doesn't matter if i a citizen had one, i don't want to be in a firefight risking my life over some nut jobs religious beliefs or some shit. Even with a gun i'm getting the fuck out of there.
+Lewis Turner I would imagine that they're considering total US military deaths, which are listed as ~120,000 for WWI and ~410,000 for WWII (by the DoJ). Even though they worded it poorly, it remains a valid point given that the "official" numbers line up with their statement.
+liberty2014 I assume you meant "suicides by firearm" in your first sentence. Even ignoring suicides, accidental, and negligent deaths, you're still looking at more than 200,000 firearm homicides which is a high number for that time span. Keep in mind that the 120,000 for WWI and 410,000 for WWII figures I referenced above also include suicides, accidental, negligent, and disease-related deaths. Excluding those figures and looking purely at combat deaths, you are looking at ~54,000 for WWI and ~292,000 for WWII. The civil war had roughly ~215,000 deaths. So you're still looking at a firearms homicide figure since 1997 that is nearly on par with the 2nd deadliest war, in terms of combat-related deaths, in the history of this country. That's still way too high any way you look at it. I both agree and disagree with your point that it pads the numbers to make political points. Frankly, I think the people trying to make these points would be far better off if they just separated homicides / suicides / accidental deaths out and came up with respective comparisons to the figures individually, given that they are still very high. When they don't, it only serves to undermine their point. Also, the Japan to US comparison is about as apples to oranges as it gets. Japan is somewhat unique, along with several other Asian countries, in that the act of suicide actually has a positive connotation as an honorable act (Bushido code) in order to avoid situations of defeat / shame. On top of that, nearly 70% of the country is areligious and the other 30% associate with Buddhism / Shintoism, which are both fairly ambiguous regarding suicide. Compare that to the US where no such positive connotation exists. The exact opposite is true, as suicide is seen as a mortal sin by Christians (70%+ of the population) and has been condemned as cowardly / "the easy way out" culturally. Given that major discrepancy between the two countries, it's utterly meaningless to compare them on suicide rates. Also, when it comes to suicide, there is an elephant in the room (mental illness) that no one really wants to talk about or deal with in a meaningful way. Sure, people would still kill themselves, but guns make it a hell of a lot easier to do so. A lot of folks 'pull the trigger' so to speak on suicide attempts by other means, yet fail to follow through, which in some cases leads to them getting the help that they need, though not nearly often enough. Someone with a gun in the same situation doesn't get to have that second chance once they've 'pulled the trigger'. Unfortunately, we've stigmatized mental health in this country to the point where people don't / won't seek the help that they need on their own (and often folks who know others with problems do nothing to help) and they have to hit those extremes, often multiple times, before they finally seek out help, if they ever do. Unfortunately, when they hit rock-bottom with a gun in their hand, they aren't coming back.
+liberty2014 I'm not sure where you're getting a period of 30 or 70 years from. I've been discussing a 19 year period from 1997-2015, during which there have been roughly 48,500,000 American deaths. Even extending out to 30 or 70 years, there is no possible way 500,000,000 Americans have died in either of those spans (not even combined). Your 500,000,000 figure is well over the ENTIRE number of Americans that have died since the inception of the country! More than 20,000 a year committing suicide by firearms and over 11,000 homicides by firearms per year should not be considered negligible. These are nearly all preventable deaths. I'm not an advocate for full-fledged gun control, but gun education in this country absolutely needs to improve and there needs to be a drastic change made to keep guns safely out of the hands of those who are mentally unstable, as well as initiatives to provide those people with the aid that they need. That said, yes, there are other things that also need to be addressed, but life is complex. Managing multiple things at once is necessary and there is no reason that we can't try to reduce mortality from more complex issues (cancer, cardiovascular disease, mental health, etc.) while also attempting to prevent it in other more easily preventable areas. (firearm-related deaths, vehicular deaths, etc.) Following your logic, we should never have bothered to enact seat-belt laws, because cancer and cardiovascular disease kill far more people.
+liberty2014 Suicide is less worse than murder. Better having people kill themselves than get killed by others. You're just desperate for arguments and you're making a false equivalency with murders and suicides.
Yeah but you can go-ahead and lower that 401 stat by 60% due to suicide. So now that number is around 160 after correcting that you can also factor in a whole bunch of other variables which will lower it even further but that's beside the point. The majority of people getting killed by firearms are violent gang members shooting at other gang members. So if you keep your head out of the wrong crowd and be a law abiding citizen with your firearms your chances of getting killed by a gun drops to what you'd expect from a European country. And the possibility that you might encounter a violent individual intent on doing harm to you makes me want to have a gun for self protection. Guns aren't toys it's true they're dangerous things. But I think it's the mindset of whether or not you'd rather live “safe” and with less liberties or more “ dangerous” but with more liberties. And you'll see that divide between state lines and democracy on how people vote and the laws being passed. So I say let's be grateful with being able to live in a country where this question on gun laws reflect the native culture of that region of the states on how strict your gun laws or not. You have the ability to move or stay to which states you agree with the most. Now whether you'd actually be safer moving to places like Detroit with some of the strictest gun laws in the nation is another matter but hey that's your choice.
liberty2014 mass shootings are a result of how youth are raised and the popular culture of our society, less guns or even background checks won't help at all.
liberty2014 ............... yep, you just proved yourself to be a complete dumbass. There is no war on Christianity. People are starting to question it due to controversial topics such as gay marriage and abortion. Oh and we ARE NOT a Christian nation. Want proof? "As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries" Treaty of Tripoli, signed by John Adams in 1797. Not to mention Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine were both deist, not Christian.
Why doesn't he compare these stats to the population size of each country? I would think that it would give a more accurate representation of the data.
But who is to say that the homicides would be less if there were NO guns.... I very much doubt that the absence of guns would make a measurable difference to homicides. The problem is violence, not the means by which it is expressed. NZ, for instance, has an appalling record for infanticide, and these children are never shot, but they are just as dead. NZ has about 1.5 million guns with a population of 4 million.Quite heavily armed, us Kiwis. 250,000 of us are licensed (like a permanent NICS system) and possess most of the guns. The criminals, gang members and drug dealers of course have whatever they like, and sometimes shoot each other in 'turf wars', which of course our home grown 'snowflakes' use as a reason to propose more gun laws. It's the same the ole' world over............. :-)
With no guns, Gun crime would indeed go down, Definitely not instantly, It would take decades to get all of the guns out of circulation, but lets say all guns in America just poof disappeared, crime would go up, Many more people would get ballsy and think, "What's the worst that could happen, I get tased, or get a free stay in a cozy cell with free meals?" And you would see things like what's happening in the UK, Acid attacks, Higher rates of knife attacks, Terrorists running people over, etc.
Also, their firearm homicide rates of other countries per 10 million isn't accurate. Possibly some of them, but the UK one is orders of magnitude higher than listed on this video. And of course for the US, again they combine suicides to that number which makes up over half, closer to 60% of that number. Compare homicides only, compare mass killings of any kind, these countries start to look very similar except less people can defend themselves.
Everyone else has already pointed out the lying by omission of pretty much every stat there is when it comes to violence. I'd just like to point out we went from gun homicides to total gun deaths since 1997
I'm a young guy from India🙂...grew up fantasizing USA..Hollywood..'FBI' 'NYPD' storming in..n saying "freeze"😎😎 Well now that I'm grown..i can sense this irony..

@@enrique88005 dude... You need to know your priorities. You're fine with some thug...shootin your ass. But you get annoyed with some random guy in youtube tryin to teach you.
In a civilised society your chances of being murdered in a mass weapon [of any kind] attack should be thousands to one, as they are in 29 of the 30 most developed nations on earth. It's up to the citizens of that odd one out nation to work out that being rich and developed does not make you a civilised nation if your chances of being the victim of a mass murder are only marginally less than they are in some of the world's unstable nations.
There was no argument made in this video, just a statement of some facts that you're supposed to believe you can draw causation from. This means nothing and is simply leading the viewer to a conclusion that is false.
So...please explain El Salvador. Statistically they have about 5.8 guns per 100 people, but they have the highest murder rate of any country in the world, at 108.64 per 100k people. About double the US, who by your own numbers has half the guns in the world. Could it be that criminals (the kind of people who commit murder) are the problem, not guns?
If I showed a person who loves cars the statistics involving deaths with cars it would not affect their love of cars one bit. Think before you speak also shooting is fun.
Since when do mass murderers oblige to random guns laws if they're willing to kill? In a free society, individuals have the freedom to do stupid things - and deal with the consequences. All we can do is hold people accountable for their actions through the justice system. Preemptively chipping away at the rights of the masses through over-reaching laws doesn't stop somebody willing to break the laws....just sayin'. Drunk drivers don't care about drinking laws, but if they get busted and a judge tells them not to drive, you don't ban cars for everybody.
The rest of the world being run over and stab also poured with Acid they have been infiltrated by the enemy now they have No Go Zones Rape has become a Pandemic CNN Your sure talk a lot of Horse Shit #Fake News
Unsurprisingly, CNN failed to mention that a large majority of these firearm related crimes occur in the same jurisdictions that elect left-leaning officials govern. Most of the time, cities with strict gun control laws are the same ones whose police departments are utilized as deceased-body collective services. My parent country (Mx), firearm ownership was nearly legally impossible, and yet people die at the hands of bad guys who happen to use guns. People on the left always cry that Muslims aren’t bad, Mexicans aren’t bad, white people aren’t racist, blacks aren’t criminals, etc., but why must they group every responsible gun owner with the few bad apples who most likely were prohibited by law to own guns to begin with?
Whats strange is that no one of the anti-gun persuasion ever talks about the easy availability of RPGs and shoulder-fired ground-to-air missiles and grenades and landmines and high explosives and all those other weapons that TEND to be just a little more destructive than the average gun owned by the average American in many areas of the world. Its almost like the U.S. is the ONLY country with a dedicated government agency specifically designated for, tasked with and responsible for regulation and control and permission and licensing of that type of hardware. How about it, anti-gunners? Are you as concerned about the availability of heavy weapons on street corners of cities all over the world as you are about law-abiding Americans having "military weapons" that actually aren't? And why isn't the U.S. using its considerable influence, power and prestige worldwide to address THOSE issues instead of investing so much time, effort and money in trying to screw Americans out of OUR God-given right to defend ourselves. Was that compound in Benghazi attacked with semi-auto ARs and high-capacity pistols or hardware of a little more powerful and effective nature?
What happens when guns are banned? People will either buy them illegally or use other ways to kill. They could use cars or knives or many other things.
So since the US is obviously much more populous than the the European countries in question or Australia, when we talk about the total number of guns, we talk about guns per 100 persons, which is valid. Then when we talk about "mass" shootings we talk about the number of shooting, period. Suddenly we don't look at per capita numbers. Guess whose narrative is being spun here. CNN...so much for journalistic integrity.
How many of the listed gun deaths were murder? Accident? Suicide? Does the U.S. lead massively in murder? What about the fact that the rate of gun crimes has actually decreased? Depending on how you look at the data you could say the U.S. is good or bad. However, we know criminals still get guns regardless. We also know that murders happen without guns. As do suicides.
Government owned guns such as police and military guns must be added to equations like that too. North Korea has virtually no civilian owned guns, but its one of the most militarized society. But by looking at the "civilian gun ownership statistics" alone, you would assume they are all just unarmed society. Lets not forget, that its the ordinary people, that make up militias and military. So in that sense, North Korea is one of the most armed societies in the world. There is no need for the black and white separation between "government guns" and "civilian guns". Also, many governments allow people to take "military issue guns" to they'r homes.
I'm not a Gun History or statistics expert, but I think that it's invalid to simply compare the number of guns for each country and/or based on economic categorizations. Example, unlike the UK, Switzerland, Germany, etc the US has a much larger number of Hunters and sport shooters. So, probably 1/2 of the guns in America were made for hunting and rarely used in the commission of crimes. Also, at least 5% of gun owners are professional collectors, owning over 50 firearms. Even, the majority of gun owners and hunters own 10+ or more. So, you are comparing the US where there is hunting in pretty much every state in the country to counties that only have hunting in isolated parts of the country. Also, you are making a direct correlation to the number of guns to the number of deaths by guns, but if this is true those owners with the most number of guns should have killed more people than those with fewer, when I can guarantee this in not the case because if you can afford a large number of firearms you are a fairly well off law abiding citizen and far less likely to have a motive to use the gun for the commission of a crime. Its the people who only by 3-5 guns who you need to worry about because they bought them for a reason other than hunting or general self defense.
How much of gun-related issues were created by the war on drugs and mass incarcerations? 100% Victims buying guns to be less a victim because they got victimized by drug-related crime caused by the drug war. 100% People are afraid of the poor and the powerless because of issues with corporate robbery and exploitation, limiting salaries for employees so that they are working poor and lack of corporate taxes to help the poor and maintain a proper social infrastructure. Lack of social services to limit the amount of individual in a "no loss" situation to turn to anything to survive. Fix this you won't have as much violence.
World War II casualties of the Soviet Union from all related causes numbered more than 20,000,000, both civilian and military, although the exact figures are disputed. The number 20 million was considered official during the Soviet era.that more than the holocaust
The real question is do "mass shootings" matter, statistically? Also this video mixes up statistics of mass shootings with the generic "gun deaths", which will include accidents, police or justified shootings and suicides. Statistically the people killed in mass shootings per year is very low compared to vehicles, medical malpractice or lifestyle related deaths but only mass shootings get hyped because there is an agenda by those in power, elites and their media lackeys to disarm the people.
Aaaand more than half are from suicides. Just more nonsense. I find it odd that within your own stats of 5% owning let's be generous 40% of all guns that gun homicides only account for less than 10% of all homicides. But it's a complicated task to break down all the finer points. More people are killed by car by such a large margin it makes all these stats look silly.
They say gun Related deaths but that is excluding people impropory handling a firearm, suicides, and lives being taken from intruders or other criminals. Also, they forgot how many innocent lives are saved which outnumber innocent lives being taken on purpose by guns
When the "The World" become 6 countries?
he was only refering to developed countries
Amando Juarez So then where in the fuck is Canada?
***** But not all of them are developed.
other countries have even less gun crime you fucking idiot. he mentioned the biggest gun users among developed countries.
Holy fuck, you guys are getting so unravelled over a question on TH-cam...
The US is very diverse. How many of these gun deaths happened in the ghettos? I'm betting over 70%.
A lot, They sure are not from where I live, I've only ever heard of maybe a couple shootings in my town, And a lot of us own guns, go figure lot of gun owners, not a lot of shootings in my small town, yet you go to a big city with higher rates of poverty, massive amounts of drugs going around, over crowding, gangs, etc, and you get more shootings, And go figure a lot of gang members don't use legal fucking guns to do these crimes.
Not true. 81% of firearm homicides occurr in Urban areas.
What about the mass shootings? Those don’t happen in the ghetto your being silly
@@joeyluvshouse mass shootings are
95%
We defend it because the 2nd amendment isn't about temporary security. It is intended for last resort security which history has shown to be necessary to have. It also is a huge deterrent for foreign invasion. Not only are you fighting the military if you invade, but every single citizen. Would you invade a country with a gun behind every blade of grass? Probably not.
Freedom comes with responsibilities and flaws. It's not an easy thing to have. If you want freedom you accept its responsibilities and flaws while doing your best to fix them without sacrificing liberty for temporary security. Mental health and decline in morality also is a big reason for a lot of American problems.
This level of gun ownership is simply put NOT NECESSARY for the freedoms that we and many other countries enjoy. I do not support the notion that civilian firearm ownership would have any real impact on modern invasion. Even with millions of Americans armed to the teeth, it's just not effective against coordinated military attacks consisting of drones, ships, and bombs.
Even so, the FACT that we have really only use these weapons on ourselves, should be a stark reminder that many lose much more than their freedom, in contrast to the people of other free countries, that don't have such a common and avoidable sacrifice.
If this is what you are a proponent of (protection from invasion) then military spending is your goal. That has its own major issues, but that's an entirely different subject at this point.
I love my guns
And I love America
@@doomjuice.1652 it's fine to love guns and america, but I don't see guns as a right. In fact, there are a lot of reasons to call an American's love for guns a symptom of brainwashing, as nearly unanimously through reason, the disillusioned folks around the globe would agree that it is an earned privilege to own a gun.
@@MalFowler ok
Important to note that suicides make up a large percentage of firearm related deaths. That fact seems relevant
Why is it relevant?
@@kvabskalle because the elites and the media mislead people into believing that we have an explosion of “gun violence” (a term created by people pushing an agenda) and that it’s firearms to blame, not culture. They blame the tool only when it backs their narrative, they want more control so it’s necessary for the citizenry to abandon the best tool they have to protect themselves from the government. More people are killed with fists and feet every year than rifles but you only hear about how dangerous “assault weapons” are. Another idiotic term, they assign motive to inanimate objects to further their agenda of disarmament.
@@isanynameavailable6 so what you are saying is that the culture in USA is fucked up?
@@kvabskalle 100%. Our culture is effed. We largely have no morals or principles, have given up on family and community and I think it’s going to get much worse before it gets better. Instead of acknowledging the importance of the family unit we look to the government for solutions.
@@isanynameavailable6 is it any different in Europe?
But... How many of those firearm deaths in America were the results of the criminals being the ones shot???... or do you want to leave that out of the equation?
because they're doing the same with all other countries.
Criminals are excluded as casualties in a mass shooting.
j wright how does that make any difference. With guns more people die. Without guns, less people die from crimes. It’s common logic.
Raky 2427 so your telling me that If someone who made a bad choice and threatens me I have the right it do nothing and give into his demands. Also yes more deaths. That’s good and BAD people are dying . What’s stopping the criminal from getting a gun illegally? Nothing making things illegal doesn’t work look st drugs you can’t keep them out of a federal prison
@@Raky2427 Actually less people die. 1 to 2 million times per year guns are used to PREVENT crime, usually without even being fired. Gun deaths in America have steadily going down since the 1990's and 2/3 of gun deaths are from suicide.
Makes me proud to be American
i love how they start at 1997 when australia had a mass shooting of 35 dead in 1996
Yeah and since that happened they banned a lot of guns and restricted the ease of buying a gun. And now their gun homicides and suicides have dropped substantially. They havent had a single mass shooting since. Unlike USA which will continue to promote guns and protect the 2nd amendment no matter how many mass shootings there are.
@@Crusage they're government has also started to become more tyrannical with their actions such as the limiting the press, which is the most restricted in the Western World. They also tried to pass a law making it so only authorized Australian News Companies would be allowed to run in Australia, but I don't think they passed that one due to a lot of opposition.
They love using tragic events as an excuse to take away firearms. We ain't letting them do that to us here. And if those fuckers in Congress do try something, we ain't giving up our guns.
And that makes a difference to US figures, how?
@@markhorton8578 honestly the fact that you ask me just shows how uneducated you are about world events and how it affects everyday so this will be the only reply will you get dumbass
I love how that makes so much difference
A question that I have for this videos creators is that "if you were a criminal planning a mass shooting, would you rather commit it in a pro gun area where you know that someone might have a gun that would fire rounds at you. Or would you commit it in an anti gun area where you know no one will have a gun and no one will be able to protect themselves.
A question that I have for you is that ”if you were a normal citizen owning a firearm, wouldn’t the risk be higher that you would use that gun in a possible crime than If you didn’t have a firearm?” The answer is yes, and if you want proof, just look outside of America.
@@Willegus France has a higher crime rate.
@@sebastienholmes548 The United States have a 4-5x higher murder rate per 100.000 people. The rest is mostly non-violent such as pick pocketing. If you can not see any correlation between the amount of guns and deadly crime rate when comparing with other countries, then I’m not going to waste my time trying to convince you.
@@Willegus wrong. Ukraine and Russia both have higher homicide rates.
You will not get a fair comparison when comparing yourself to Europe’s poorest country. The reasons for their homocide rates is based on many other factors than just guns. America shares most similarities with western European countries so please stick to comparing with them. The reason you want guns is because you like guns, not because you need them. Just be honest with yourself..
this is outstanding!!! im doing my part to keep america #1
America is not #1 lol
Hell yeah🇺🇸
@may allah give u more virgin lmao thanks for bullying me on my page and giving me views. You’re too ignorant to realize America truly does not rank #1 in actually ANYTHING. Besides ranking #1 for the largest military but it’s literally so much money invested in it it’s crazy. We have way too many mass shootings and gun violence here. We need to put minimally a background check on all gun purchases. The stats show that putting a background check on the guns declines gun violence. If you still disagree with me you’re literally ignorant and won’t accept the truth. You’re too caught up in your ignorant political views. 🖕🏻
@@H.O.P.E222 There already are background checks. Do you even know the process of buying a gun?

Their is a big difference between gun homicides and gun related deaths
People always ignoring suicide like it isn't a factor. Shame.
There were 11,000 gun homicides in the USA in 2016 UK 26 same year.Total gun related deaths in USA 2016 32,000 -500 were accidental shootings the rest suicide
😂😂😂😂thier the same...related to guns...unless they throw a rock😂😂😂
@@kethughes8266 only 11,000 out of 350 million to 400 million is taking account of our undocumented citizens and then your 11,000 looks even smaller when you take in account anywhere from 500,000 to 1.2 million crimes were stopped from either the use of a firearm or just the presence of a firearm....

@@everythingerina9379 In South Dakota at least, the Walmarts offer guns and groceries under the same roof.
@@TonyGarrett-p1c So there are no police checks or interviews? You can just walk straight out with a firearm?
@@everythingerina9379 Oh Heaven's no; Walmart has a Federal Firearms License, and a dealer as such must compel a buyer to fill out a Form 4473 and submit to an 'instant' background check. If the buyer's name comes up in a national database as being a 'prohibited person' the sale is refused.
The process to clear a buyer takes perhaps a half hour. Maybe more.
I believe too in some states or locales, and with a few types of firearms, a buyer must get permission from law enforcement before even trying to purchase said firearm from a bona fide dealer.

How about 2/3 of those so called homicides are "SUICIDES" Gang related killings, self defense, and police killings account for most of the balance. Outright homicides are a small balance of the total
its one 3rd and they used the same statistics for all countries, shocking isnt it? how much out of proportionally more you have these issues compared to develloped western democraties ( these are even the most gun related european countries, lol in most the numbers are even much lower)
The U.K. has 2,068 violent crimes per 100,000 people, the U.S. has 466 violent crimes per 100,000 people. This is according to telegraph.co.uk and BBC. Not to mention the majority of all “mass,” shootings is committed with a handgun. In the year of 2017, according to the CDC security council, there was 39,773 gun related deaths. 14,542 of those were gun homicides, 25,231 were accidental/suicide: 36.565% were actual homicides, 63.435% were accidental/suicide. Also let’s get this right, an assault weapon can be anything you assault someone with, car, knife, etc.. An Assault Rifle is a military grade weapon that for as long as you hold the trigger bullets will come out, or until you run out of ammo. Examples of these weapons are M16s, AK-47s, etc.. You may purchase these kinds of weapons only if they were made before 1986, it also requires a extremely long, and difficult, process of tests, and to see if you’re eligible. The weapon everyone wants to ban is the AR-15. The AR-15 isn’t an assault rifle, it is a semi-automatic rifle, per trigger pull a bullet will come out, Examples: M14, SKS, AR-15, etc.. The AR-15, and other semi-autos, are one of the least likely weapons used in “mass,” shootings. Since 1950, according to USA Today, the all mass shootings have occurred, except for one, in gun free zones. Something interesting to go along with that is a certain town in Georgia by the name of Kennesaw. In 1982 the city passed a law that required all head of households are to have a firearm, the town saw a 89% decrease in its burglary rate, compared to the 10.4% drop of the whole state. Today Kennesaw has 85% lower crime rate compared to the National average. This was all recorded by Gary Kleck’s “Crime Control through the Private use of Armed Force.”
The actual number is 47% of the entire world's small arms is here in America I still think we need to make it 60%
Yet australia has had 7 gun massacres post 96. We have the most firearms on the planet but we don't have number one gun deaths or gun homicides on the planet.
The false equivalence is of the number of gun per person. Most law abiding people who own guns in the US, own multiple guns.
Also they failed to compared per capita on mass shootings. They just used total. That is another obfuscation.
You forgot the gun blackmarket for Europe.
black market dont exist. in europe there are no criminals that sell weapons. Its just a myth.

as a person who lived in England, Australia and Japan, I think no one needs to carry a gun. in Japan, kids and ladies come home at mid night and I personally, never ever feel scared at night walking home.
Carrying guns, for me, is about men's egos and control. but, at the end of the day, my utopia is a place with no guns and focus is family, not control.
don't assume the feelings of others.

He used per capita in the video, still not an accurate video as there are far more variables to gun violence than just gun control, Mexico is a prime example of that, Strict gun control, High gun violence, Then the UK is the opposite, Strict gun control, Lower gun violence, Although the UK has it's own unique problems due to this, Such as acid attacks, And you lose the right to defend yourself.... Because apparently a good guys life is less important than a bad guys life.

I know what guns are for and saying that I am dumb and uneducated just proves how stupid you are , seeing that this is about guns in America. If you own guns and live in Europe then you will be bound by the laws of the country you live in.
***** All the population of Switzerland are required by law to own a gun, because they have national service in that country. Swiss men, all considered part of the militia after mandatory arms training, are permitted to keep their service rifles at home.
All guns in Northern Europe are licensed and subject to that countries gun laws. You say that 'almost everyone in Switzerland have guns as well as in northern european countries' so why then are people in Europe committing less crime with guns than in the US? Why are we discussing guns in Europe when we should be discussing guns in the US?
No we are discussing guns in America. Period!

This us a total hit job in guns they don't bother telling you that around 2/3 of the gun deaths are suicide
Look again, i think you'll find the UK has actually had 4, not that its a good thing or anything.
Something you might not of also known is that the first mass shooting here was similar to the Sandy Hook massacre, overnight Britains gun laws and control changed to its current state over night. And it's been this way since.
That's the thing i don't get about the Americans, they've had one, hell hundreds by the looks of it but the people still seem more concerned over their gun culture then lives of children.
I think the Americans need to wake up and smell the coffee, like Obama said, the US is the only developed country you still see this stuff happening on a regular basis.
Remember that when US rights and laws around guns were originally created, guns were muskets that had a pathetic range, stopping power and took about 10 minutes to reload after every shot .
I don't think the founding fathers considered the leap in technology one day, i think they'd of reconsidered if they could see what's the standard now.
+Benji Ward A rifled musket has a range of 500 yards and can be reloaded in 45 secs to 1 min. Just saying
MrHellested So in the event of a school shooting the killer might get one kill and in the one minute 45 seconds the gunman would most defiantly have been taken out.
Compared to any automatic weapon of today.
I'm just trying to put into perspective, the founding farthers could never have guessed what the technology would be capable of in 50, 100, 200 years time etc.
your right. you can just use a knife and do it much quicker, cleaner, and quietly. It's not a gun problem. It's a people problem. Did you here of the terrorist attack in Texas a while ago? Of course not because the only ones that died were the terrorists. The media only publicizes the negative.This is in a state that has little to no gun control. California has the most strict gun control and 14 people were killed by terrorist. All these mass shootings happen in areas that are "gun free".
+MrHellested Guns are more convenient and encouraging than the brutish physicality of knives. They're an enabler. Removing guns does't eliminate monstrous people, but it serves as an inconvenience to the comparatively less determined ones, like how bars on a house is a deterrent and practical inconvenience to burglars. Fewer deaths overall is a true increase in security.
JustAnotherGaian There will always be bad people in every country.
Giving those people potential easy access to the best killing machines on the planet doesn't help though.
I mean at least with a knife you have a much, much higher chance of defending yourself, nothing you can do about a bullet.
The way Americans see it though is that you're only taking guns from the good guys and the result would be more bad guys with guns.
For a while yea it probably would be like that, they have a lot of guns to find.
But eventually the US would see a drop in all types of crime.
Like you said, guns are an enabler, they may encourage someone to go through with the crime, you have a greater sense of confidence and security.
Without one though, even with a knife, attempting the crime suddenly becomes less appealing, because it fail in so many ways and probably will.
We in the UK are not defenseless from criminals with guns. If a criminal has a gun, then so do the cops. They break it all out, in fact they'll break out the sniper rifles and SMG's for a dude walking around with a Machete so..
It doesn't matter if i a citizen had one, i don't want to be in a firefight risking my life over some nut jobs religious beliefs or some shit. Even with a gun i'm getting the fuck out of there.
In 1:41 they switched from mass shootings to mass killings. also did not factor in the population of each country.
That last fact is bs.
+Lewis Turner I would imagine that they're considering total US military deaths, which are listed as ~120,000 for WWI and ~410,000 for WWII (by the DoJ). Even though they worded it poorly, it remains a valid point given that the "official" numbers line up with their statement.
+liberty2014 I assume you meant "suicides by firearm" in your first sentence. Even ignoring suicides, accidental, and negligent deaths, you're still looking at more than 200,000 firearm homicides which is a high number for that time span. Keep in mind that the 120,000 for WWI and 410,000 for WWII figures I referenced above also include suicides, accidental, negligent, and disease-related deaths. Excluding those figures and looking purely at combat deaths, you are looking at ~54,000 for WWI and ~292,000 for WWII. The civil war had roughly ~215,000 deaths. So you're still looking at a firearms homicide figure since 1997 that is nearly on par with the 2nd deadliest war, in terms of combat-related deaths, in the history of this country. That's still way too high any way you look at it. I both agree and disagree with your point that it pads the numbers to make political points. Frankly, I think the people trying to make these points would be far better off if they just separated homicides / suicides / accidental deaths out and came up with respective comparisons to the figures individually, given that they are still very high. When they don't, it only serves to undermine their point.
Also, the Japan to US comparison is about as apples to oranges as it gets. Japan is somewhat unique, along with several other Asian countries, in that the act of suicide actually has a positive connotation as an honorable act (Bushido code) in order to avoid situations of defeat / shame. On top of that, nearly 70% of the country is areligious and the other 30% associate with Buddhism / Shintoism, which are both fairly ambiguous regarding suicide. Compare that to the US where no such positive connotation exists. The exact opposite is true, as suicide is seen as a mortal sin by Christians (70%+ of the population) and has been condemned as cowardly / "the easy way out" culturally. Given that major discrepancy between the two countries, it's utterly meaningless to compare them on suicide rates.
Also, when it comes to suicide, there is an elephant in the room (mental illness) that no one really wants to talk about or deal with in a meaningful way. Sure, people would still kill themselves, but guns make it a hell of a lot easier to do so. A lot of folks 'pull the trigger' so to speak on suicide attempts by other means, yet fail to follow through, which in some cases leads to them getting the help that they need, though not nearly often enough. Someone with a gun in the same situation doesn't get to have that second chance once they've 'pulled the trigger'. Unfortunately, we've stigmatized mental health in this country to the point where people don't / won't seek the help that they need on their own (and often folks who know others with problems do nothing to help) and they have to hit those extremes, often multiple times, before they finally seek out help, if they ever do. Unfortunately, when they hit rock-bottom with a gun in their hand, they aren't coming back.
+liberty2014 I'm not sure where you're getting a period of 30 or 70 years from. I've been discussing a 19 year period from 1997-2015, during which there have been roughly 48,500,000 American deaths. Even extending out to 30 or 70 years, there is no possible way 500,000,000 Americans have died in either of those spans (not even combined). Your 500,000,000 figure is well over the ENTIRE number of Americans that have died since the inception of the country!
More than 20,000 a year committing suicide by firearms and over 11,000 homicides by firearms per year should not be considered negligible. These are nearly all preventable deaths. I'm not an advocate for full-fledged gun control, but gun education in this country absolutely needs to improve and there needs to be a drastic change made to keep guns safely out of the hands of those who are mentally unstable, as well as initiatives to provide those people with the aid that they need.
That said, yes, there are other things that also need to be addressed, but life is complex. Managing multiple things at once is necessary and there is no reason that we can't try to reduce mortality from more complex issues (cancer, cardiovascular disease, mental health, etc.) while also attempting to prevent it in other more easily preventable areas. (firearm-related deaths, vehicular deaths, etc.) Following your logic, we should never have bothered to enact seat-belt laws, because cancer and cardiovascular disease kill far more people.
+liberty2014 Suicide is less worse than murder. Better having people kill themselves than get killed by others. You're just desperate for arguments and you're making a false equivalency with murders and suicides.
Yeah but you can go-ahead and lower that 401 stat by 60% due to suicide. So now that number is around 160 after correcting that you can also factor in a whole bunch of other variables which will lower it even further but that's beside the point. The majority of people getting killed by firearms are violent gang members shooting at other gang members. So if you keep your head out of the wrong crowd and be a law abiding citizen with your firearms your chances of getting killed by a gun drops to what you'd expect from a European country. And the possibility that you might encounter a violent individual intent on doing harm to you makes me want to have a gun for self protection. Guns aren't toys it's true they're dangerous things. But I think it's the mindset of whether or not you'd rather live “safe” and with less liberties or more “ dangerous” but with more liberties. And you'll see that divide between state lines and democracy on how people vote and the laws being passed. So I say let's be grateful with being able to live in a country where this question on gun laws reflect the native culture of that region of the states on how strict your gun laws or not. You have the ability to move or stay to which states you agree with the most. Now whether you'd actually be safer moving to places like Detroit with some of the strictest gun laws in the nation is another matter but hey that's your choice.
limits on who can have guns... not limits on guns
+Aiden Walker which is why we want stricter backround checks.
liberty2014 mass shootings are a result of how youth are raised and the popular culture of our society, less guns or even background checks won't help at all.
"limiting stuff never works"
oh you mean like limiting gay marriage? Because that worked.
liberty2014 ...............
yep, you just proved yourself to be a complete dumbass.
There is no war on Christianity. People are starting to question it due to controversial topics such as gay marriage and abortion.
Oh and we ARE NOT a Christian nation. Want proof?
"As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries" Treaty of Tripoli, signed by John Adams in 1797.
Not to mention Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine were both deist, not Christian.
Giordan Diodato Ever said the pledge? Thought so you weeb.
Now make a video about abortion how many babies die
Ahh im watching this while cleaning my gun. Love the good ole USA
Why doesn't he compare these stats to the population size of each country? I would think that it would give a more accurate representation of the data.
you arent even slightly close to the death toll for ww1 and ww2 combined, you didnt even do your homework but you still have the gaul to say that
Wow, I better get a gun!
The bad guys will still have the guns no matter how many restriction are put on them
But who is to say that the homicides would be less if there were NO guns.... I very much doubt that the absence of guns would make a measurable difference to homicides. The problem is violence, not the means by which it is expressed.
NZ, for instance, has an appalling record for infanticide, and these children are never shot, but they are just as dead.
NZ has about 1.5 million guns with a population of 4 million.Quite heavily armed, us Kiwis. 250,000 of us are licensed (like a permanent NICS system) and possess most of the guns.
The criminals, gang members and drug dealers of course have whatever they like, and sometimes shoot each other in 'turf wars', which of course our home grown 'snowflakes' use as a reason to propose more gun laws.
It's the same the ole' world over............. :-)
With no guns, Gun crime would indeed go down, Definitely not instantly, It would take decades to get all of the guns out of circulation, but lets say all guns in America just poof disappeared, crime would go up, Many more people would get ballsy and think, "What's the worst that could happen, I get tased, or get a free stay in a cozy cell with free meals?" And you would see things like what's happening in the UK, Acid attacks, Higher rates of knife attacks, Terrorists running people over, etc.
Also, their firearm homicide rates of other countries per 10 million isn't accurate. Possibly some of them, but the UK one is orders of magnitude higher than listed on this video. And of course for the US, again they combine suicides to that number which makes up over half, closer to 60% of that number. Compare homicides only, compare mass killings of any kind, these countries start to look very similar except less people can defend themselves.
Everyone else has already pointed out the lying by omission of pretty much every stat there is when it comes to violence. I'd just like to point out we went from gun homicides to total gun deaths since 1997
I'm a young guy from India🙂...grew up fantasizing USA..Hollywood..'FBI' 'NYPD' storming in..n saying "freeze"😎😎

In a civilised society your chances of being murdered in a mass weapon [of any kind] attack should be thousands to one, as they are in 29 of the 30 most developed nations on earth. It's up to the citizens of that odd one out nation to work out that being rich and developed does not make you a civilised nation if your chances of being the victim of a mass murder are only marginally less than they are in some of the world's unstable nations.
Obviously you are talking about Germany......
There was no argument made in this video, just a statement of some facts that you're supposed to believe you can draw causation from. This means nothing and is simply leading the viewer to a conclusion that is false.
So...please explain El Salvador. Statistically they have about 5.8 guns per 100 people, but they have the highest murder rate of any country in the world, at 108.64 per 100k people. About double the US, who by your own numbers has half the guns in the world. Could it be that criminals (the kind of people who commit murder) are the problem, not guns?
o my god. why do people love guns so much? what the hell.
If I showed a person who loves cars the statistics involving deaths with cars it would not affect their love of cars one bit. Think before you speak also shooting is fun.
Came to find out numbers, was shown toys. Realized at that moment it was a CNN video
not all these statistics are from just Americans in America. do a video showing how many illegals are in other countries compared to America
US has way more people than every one of those countries mentioned... so these comparisons are bogus.
That's what rates are for...
Since when do mass murderers oblige to random guns laws if they're willing to kill? In a free society, individuals have the freedom to do stupid things - and deal with the consequences. All we can do is hold people accountable for their actions through the justice system. Preemptively chipping away at the rights of the masses through over-reaching laws doesn't stop somebody willing to break the laws....just sayin'. Drunk drivers don't care about drinking laws, but if they get busted and a judge tells them not to drive, you don't ban cars for everybody.
Um yeah I'd like to see the stats for guns deaths in Africa
The rest of the world being run over and stab also poured with Acid they have been infiltrated by the enemy now they have No Go Zones Rape has become a Pandemic CNN Your sure talk a lot of Horse Shit #Fake News
Unsurprisingly, CNN failed to mention that a large majority of these firearm related crimes occur in the same jurisdictions that elect left-leaning officials govern. Most of the time, cities with strict gun control laws are the same ones whose police departments are utilized as deceased-body collective services. My parent country (Mx), firearm ownership was nearly legally impossible, and yet people die at the hands of bad guys who happen to use guns. People on the left always cry that Muslims aren’t bad, Mexicans aren’t bad, white people aren’t racist, blacks aren’t criminals, etc., but why must they group every responsible gun owner with the few bad apples who most likely were prohibited by law to own guns to begin with?
What about NYC and Chicago? Gun free cities with lots of homicides. Disarming citizens only hurts the law abiding citizen.
Whats strange is that no one of the anti-gun persuasion ever talks about the easy availability of RPGs and shoulder-fired ground-to-air missiles and grenades and landmines and high explosives and all those other weapons that TEND to be just a little more destructive than the average gun owned by the average American in many areas of the world. Its almost like the U.S. is the ONLY country with a dedicated government agency specifically designated for, tasked with and responsible for regulation and control and permission and licensing of that type of hardware.
How about it, anti-gunners? Are you as concerned about the availability of heavy weapons on street corners of cities all over the world as you are about law-abiding Americans having "military weapons" that actually aren't? And why isn't the U.S. using its considerable influence, power and prestige worldwide to address THOSE issues instead of investing so much time, effort and money in trying to screw Americans out of OUR God-given right to defend ourselves.
Was that compound in Benghazi attacked with semi-auto ARs and high-capacity pistols or hardware of a little more powerful and effective nature?
Key word guns bb guns toy guns Blake powder and so on made up bs
What happens when guns are banned? People will either buy them illegally or use other ways to kill. They could use cars or knives or many other things.
So since the US is obviously much more populous than the the European countries in question or Australia, when we talk about the total number of guns, we talk about guns per 100 persons, which is valid. Then when we talk about "mass" shootings we talk about the number of shooting, period. Suddenly we don't look at per capita numbers. Guess whose narrative is being spun here. CNN...so much for journalistic integrity.
How many of the listed gun deaths were murder? Accident? Suicide? Does the U.S. lead massively in murder? What about the fact that the rate of gun crimes has actually decreased? Depending on how you look at the data you could say the U.S. is good or bad. However, we know criminals still get guns regardless. We also know that murders happen without guns. As do suicides.
Government owned guns such as police and military guns must be added to equations like that too. North Korea has virtually no civilian owned guns, but its one of the most militarized society. But by looking at the "civilian gun ownership statistics" alone, you would assume they are all just unarmed society. Lets not forget, that its the ordinary people, that make up militias and military. So in that sense, North Korea is one of the most armed societies in the world. There is no need for the black and white separation between "government guns" and "civilian guns". Also, many governments allow people to take "military issue guns" to they'r homes.
I'm not a Gun History or statistics expert, but I think that it's invalid to simply compare the number of guns for each country and/or based on economic categorizations. Example, unlike the UK, Switzerland, Germany, etc the US has a much larger number of Hunters and sport shooters. So, probably 1/2 of the guns in America were made for hunting and rarely used in the commission of crimes. Also, at least 5% of gun owners are professional collectors, owning over 50 firearms. Even, the majority of gun owners and hunters own 10+ or more. So, you are comparing the US where there is hunting in pretty much every state in the country to counties that only have hunting in isolated parts of the country. Also, you are making a direct correlation to the number of guns to the number of deaths by guns, but if this is true those owners with the most number of guns should have killed more people than those with fewer, when I can guarantee this in not the case because if you can afford a large number of firearms you are a fairly well off law abiding citizen and far less likely to have a motive to use the gun for the commission of a crime. Its the people who only by 3-5 guns who you need to worry about because they bought them for a reason other than hunting or general self defense.
Can't imagine what the updated stats must look like
How much of gun-related issues were created by the war on drugs and mass incarcerations? 100% Victims buying guns to be less a victim because they got victimized by drug-related crime caused by the drug war. 100% People are afraid of the poor and the powerless because of issues with corporate robbery and exploitation, limiting salaries for employees so that they are working poor and lack of corporate taxes to help the poor and maintain a proper social infrastructure. Lack of social services to limit the amount of individual in a "no loss" situation to turn to anything to survive. Fix this you won't have as much violence.
What about other countries where firearms are highly restricted or illegal? Honduras, Mexico, Brazil, Sudan, Somalia?
Left out the mass stabbing in japan didn't you...imagine if one of those people had a gun to defend themselves.
Imagine if the person stabbing had a semi automatic 💀

World War II casualties of the Soviet Union from all related causes numbered more than 20,000,000, both civilian and military, although the exact figures are disputed. The number 20 million was considered official during the Soviet era.that more than the holocaust
The real question is do "mass shootings" matter, statistically? Also this video mixes up statistics of mass shootings with the generic "gun deaths", which will include accidents, police or justified shootings and suicides. Statistically the people killed in mass shootings per year is very low compared to vehicles, medical malpractice or lifestyle related deaths but only mass shootings get hyped because there is an agenda by those in power, elites and their media lackeys to disarm the people.
I think you need to go into a little more detail and source more information.
Aaaand more than half are from suicides. Just more nonsense. I find it odd that within your own stats of 5% owning let's be generous 40% of all guns that gun homicides only account for less than 10% of all homicides. But it's a complicated task to break down all the finer points. More people are killed by car by such a large margin it makes all these stats look silly.
They say gun Related deaths but that is excluding people impropory handling a firearm, suicides, and lives being taken from intruders or other criminals. Also, they forgot how many innocent lives are saved which outnumber innocent lives being taken on purpose by guns
