@John Grit What countries do you speak of? Where gun ownership was commonplace & then guns were banned followed by the powers that be murdering millions of their own?
Norway has a population of 5,3 million. Rifle shooting is one of the biggest sports. Hunting one of the biggest hobbies. Norway has 1,3 million registered guns, and 460.000 registered gun owners. You can start rifle shooting the year you become 10. The Norwegian rifle shooting association is called The Voulenteer Shooting Society, and is born out of the need to have an armed civilian militia. One of Norway's largest sporting event is the annual National Rifle Shooting Competition, which attracts over 5.000 competitors ranging in age from 9 to over 90 (no upper age limit). It's held over a week, and was first held in the late 1890s. The final is broadcast live on the largest TV network. Both women and men compete on equal terms. To date there has been no lethal accidents or intentional happenings including guns on this event. And when Norwegians gather in their trailers over a whole week, they also indulge in another past time favourite, binge drinking. Norway has won the international military sniper competition, Vs competition from allied nations including the US. In Norway, from 2012 to 2016 there was a total of 154 homicides. 15 of those involved firearms. In the same 208 weeks there was 208 winners of the weekly stately lottery. This means you where 14 times more likely to win the main price in the weekly lottery, than be intentionally or unintentionally killed by the use of a fire arm. It isn't the guns that are the problem, it's gun control. So the NRA has all opertunity in the world to both keep their guns, keep the second amendment, and keep people safe. - Have strict gun control, including background checks and a waiting period. - Have strict standards of where and when it's legal to use those guns. - Fight for recourses to take care of the citizens mental health. Especially veterans with PTSD. - Monitor white supremacist, and take guns away from people not fit to carry them. It's NRAs responsibility to do the right thing!
@@victorhapavenka170 My opinion is that the NRA can combine responsibility, safety, and the protection of the second amendment. First I will underline why Norway has its Voulenteer Shooting Society (the Norwegian version of the NRA). - As in the US, this is based on the need for a civilian militia, in case the Army, and the National Guard, needs support if there is an attack on Norway's sovereignty by a foreign state. Or if the government and the Army acts in an unconstitutional way towards its citizens, so the government needs to be overthrown. This is the same reasons as is stated in the US second amendment. - The regulations regarding buying and owning a firearm is in short: Rifles and shotguns can be bought from the age of 18 (dispensation can be given down to 16). You must fill in a formal application too the police. There you have to prove that you are going to use the weapon for either hunting or target practice/sport. The time it takes from the application is officially filed, until you get a permit, varies. But there is a waiting period. Since you can start target shooting with a rifle from the year you become 10, one of your parents, or another care taker needs to hold your permit. It's also usual that the local rifle club has lend out rifles. When it comes to the rifles and shotguns, there are some limitations. Shotguns: Semi automatic shotguns are allowed, but when you go hunting you can only keep two cartridges in the clip. There are also regulations in regards too the amunition type and calibre. It's not allowed to shorten the barrel of a shotgun. Rifles: Semi automatic rifles are allowed, but will require a more thorough check. Especially if it's a "tactical" rifle, like the AR15. Long Range shooting has become very popular, and heavy calibres are allowed (like the Lapua Magnum sniper round), but 50 cal is not allowed. When it comes to handguns (pistols and revolvers), there are stricter rules: - You must be at least 21 years of age. - You must have been an active member of a hand gun club (target or tactical shooting) for the minimum of 6 months. - The police will do a more thorough background check. - Even if you fulfill all these requirements, there still is a waiting period. A general rule is that you can own a maximum of 8 registered guns. But you can get dispensation if you can prove that you are a gun collector. I am just informing of this, since both the US and Norway have the same outset when it comes to the need of an armed civilian militia, and both countries have many citizens that use firearms for sport, hunting or both. So this is one way too keep your guns, while keeping safe. I know different US states have different regulations, and also different statistics when it comes to people being injured or killed by firearms. I also know there are loopholes, like buying a gun at a gun show. It's the same with road traffic. If your beloved one was seriously injured because he or she was hit by a car. And you learned that this happened because the state had suddenly dropped the requirement for having a driver's license. My guess is that you would be outraged. Now facing a lot of people let loose in traffic whithout knowing anything about driving, not knowing the signes or signals, not even knowing which side of the road to drive on. I would bet that your reaction would be in favour of bringing back the requirement for a driving license, to avoid the dangerous chaos?
@@ggsay1687 This is absolutely true. So even with strict gun control, and surveillance (the perpetrator had by buying various materials that put him on a list of people to watch out for), you can't be 100% safe. In Norway after this attack (he both set of a huge home made bomb outside the Norwegian Parliament building in Oslo, then travelled to a small island where The Workers Party had their annual youth summer camp, killing and injuring both youth and adults), there was a big debate about outlawing semi automatic rifles (it did not happen), and it was stricter control buying artificial manure. The US ranks Nr 1 in the statistics when it comes to gun violence in developed countries, measured by injuries and or deaths pr 100.000 people. In the US, depending on the parameters, there is statistically about one mass shooting every day. The US intelligence capacity is the world's most advanced, but was unable to act in time in regards to the 9/11 attacks, and seems unable to pick out the majority of mass shooters before they have committed their crime. So if the US intelligence capacity struggles with this, with the manpower, experience, technology and methods they have at hand, this speaks volumes about how hard a task it is. I am presenting a method of how the US can keep its guns while keeping safe (at least safer), but as you point out, the only way too be 100% sure of being 100% safe from firearms, is to ban and impound 100% of them. But this would be going against the constitutional principle of the second amendment.
@John Grit OK, there's a lot to unpack there. FDR hated the KKK just as much as his wife, an outspoken Colored persons' activist. He shared many of his wife's views on equal rights for black and other colored citizens, and appointed many black people to notable positions in the government. The only reason he didn't make policies against racism was because whether he liked it or not, the KKK was a powerful faction, and their supporters, the southern democrats (who later BECAME republicans to appeal to minority populations in the south), would have never let FDR pass any bill needed simply to keep america stable. It was either about thirty more years of racial inequality or the collapse of the United States because some stuck-up racists in the south were still bitter about not having slaves anymore. Also, FDR turned away the ship of Jewish refugees because he had received reports from his advisors that there may have been Nazi spies aboard. The ship didn't even return to Germany. FDR was a democrat, but he was not the same kind of democrat that founded the KKK. The KKK were founded by the southern democrats, a sub-section of democrats who had fought against the union in the civil war. Very important: Democrats =/= southern democrats. The 1934 firearms act was a law passed to prevent gang violence by putting restrictions on automatic weapons; he didn't ban them, he simply added some extra requirements for their acquisition. As a result, gang violence lowered significantly, meaning this policy was successful. Also, the federal government did not try to intentionally poison alcohol meant for human consumption. It was not only illegal to consume liquor, it was illegal to produce it. However, there were no such limitations on industrial alcohol, so the workers in factories and other manufacturing centers would often drink it as a substitute. To discourage this, the federal government mandated the addition of lethal chemicals into this industrial alcohol, as well as warnings of toxicity on their containers. The government did not intentionally try to poison people; They knew the alcohol was toxic and they drank it anyway. That's on them, not the government. While the atomic bombs that were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki were sort of extreme, it was necessary; the Japanese would not have surrendered until every single one of their troops were dead. This would have led to the devastation of the Japanese countryside and the deaths of not only more Japanese and American soldiers, but also more Japanese civilians than those in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Additionally, there is no evidence that such "experiments" took place; FDR advocated the idea that there was no master race, as he, with the help of the United States war department, released a film called "Don't be a Sucker", warning against the dangers of fascism and alt-right racist ideas. One notable quote from the film comes from a depicted professor in a German college, where the professor, shortly before being detained by the SS, states that "...there is no master race. That is a scientific truth." FDR did not cause the great depression. The Wall Street crash of 1929 happened in, you guessed it, 1929, and FDR was elected president in 1933. When he was president, the new deal he enacted made new policies that helped to save hundreds of thousands of American citizens. By instituting a welfare program, he could ensure that the people who needed it most could have money to get food and not die. It also promoted the development and maintenance of American infrastructure and even founded the boy scouts! He instituted no such laws limiting the amount of food people could grow. The holocaust was only revealed in 1945 by the Soviets, who reported it to the international community immediately. Also, what do you mean he "refused" to bomb the Germans? When america entered the war, cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg were decimated by US bombing runs. That included their infrastructure like railways, roads, etc. Also, the United Kingdom had no advance warning of the attack, and remember, ports all over the pacific were bombed, including Portuguese, Dutch, AND BRITISH ones. They were all done at the same time for the exact purpose of not being able to send advance warning. FDR made no pacts or alliances with Mussolini; They were at war! They didn't want to make friends with people they were dragged in to fight! And while he did make an alliance with Stalin, it was necessary. America couldn't have defeated Germany without soviet help; that's a simple fact. There's actually very little evidence that LBJ said that. The statement that he did originated in a far-right newspaper from the 1990's, decades after the fact. Plus, I'm pretty sure the American Revolution was started by unfair taxation of colonial imports. And if your "teachers" are yelling you all of this, they're either grossly misinformed or intentionally spreading false info. I, myself, am all in favor of the second amendment. People need to be able to defend themselves. I am not, however, in favor of lax policies regarding gun acquisition and use. Such policies have led directly to the deaths of dozens of America's youth at the hands of edgy teens whose parents either neglect or abuse them. People don't need to show others they have a gun on them unless they're law enforcement officers (the BLM issue is a whole other can of worms that I don't wanna open with you). We need to be more careful when it comes to who gets guns and how they can be used in public places. For your sake, I would highly advise checking with reliable sources before making blatantly false political statements like the ones you've made. Trust me: It'll save you a lot of eye-rolls in the future.

The problem with gun culture is they equate guns with manliness. This is poison. Compasion empathy courage and honesty make you a man! These traits have been lost in our culture!
there's so few 'rites of passage' for boys and girls now days, the symbolic ownership of guns makes an 'adult' and a 'person in control' out of the owner. Too many films, and i'm not saying it's all Hollywood's fault, show the person with the gun has the power, the control, the most badass lines in the movie. It's a status symbol, a metaphor for the right to be taken seriously.
@@blackbird5634 True but there is no right to be taken seriously, therefore guns are just a cheap shortcut for people who don't want to bother with developing credibility.
I’ve met the people Charlie Daniels was talking about, swamp people and all that. I don’t know why he’s encouraging people to meet them. I wish I hadn’t. I’m pretty sure I caught something.
My father was a hunter when I was growing up, and I was always around rifles. I have 4 older brothers who also were hunters when they got older, and my father was a member of the NRA. If he was alive today to see what they're doing, he would be appalled.
I love guns. I own and shoot many of them, regularly. There's no earthly reason why someone like me shouldn't do so, but there's no proof that I'm sane and reasonable, and that's a problem. I also LOATHE the NRA (who haven't done anything significant for gun rights in at least a generation and are nothing more than an ultra-right-wing fundraising organization preying on the fear and ignorance of their members and making it worse) and am FIRMLY in favor of more sensible gun-control legislation like requiring periodical psychiatric evaluation and background checks, and safety training and agree with red flag legislation and many other aspects. We have to prove our mental and physical fitness to perform almost any dangerous act EXCEPT owning, concealing, and firing very deadly weapons? That's fucking absurd. We're not all idiots, I promise.
@Noiseless Sounds why are you stereotyping. It was a very calm and sensible statement by someone who is passionate about guns but is aware of the hypocrisy that goes along with the culture and regulations. Close minded statements like yours wont achieve anything.
@thesinnerjimwhitney I don’t own a gun, but I would like to own one and learn how to shoot. For protection purposes, like if someone try’s to break into my house. But I can’t imagine, the way I live my life, being in a position where I have to use an AR-15. 🤞🏽 on that civil war not breaking out lol😬. So I support your comment. 👍🏼
@dogboy1953 It was really pretty gradual. The Republicans abandoned Reconstruction in 1877, but they were better on civil rights for decades. During the New Deal, black voters in the north started trending Democratic. In 1948, the Democratic Party won a strong civil rights plank in the convention and there was the Dixiecrat revolt. By 1964, the change was complete. While Republicans like to point to the fact that a higher percentage of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, if you define the South as those states that committed treason a century earlier, Northern Democrats voted for them in a higher percentage than Northern Republicans, and Southern Democrats supported them in a higher percentage than Southern Republicans. The only difference being that there weren't many Southern Republicans in Congress at the time.
@John Grit the KKK supports trump, and he thinks "they're fine people" and only Republicans defend the Confederate traitors and their flag, statues, and long long heritage that's all of 5 years long in total. The treasonous Confederacy only existed from 1860 to 1865. Sea Monkeys were popular for longer than that. lol
@@jackr2500 Anarchy is no government at all. Left wing ideology is more government. Right wing is less but they still want government and arguably just as much as the left but in different ways. I want none. That's the only way we'll be free and equal.
As a firearm owner, the NRA does not speak for me. Pass responsible gun control, give police the powers to remove weapons from dangerous individuals. Register and license all firearms.
Hell no, look what there doing in New Zealand if the guns were registered they will be systematically be taking away registering guns and licensing is not the way to go.
Victor Hapavenka you’re an idiot. If they want your guns, they can take your guns. What’s your shotgun gonna do against a drone dummy. I can’t wait until your dumb generation dies off and we can actually get shit done again in this country. Keep being scared pussy.
@@rwags6848 the fact that some people believe that school teachers should be armed is hilariously ridiculous I mean what does that say about our society? You can't be safe if you don't have a firearm? You need a deadly weapon to be secured? Also I only have a simple question for the defenders of the second amendment and that is why is it only that our great Nation has this Terrible problem? Why not other developed countries? Republicans need to understand that like people the Constitution is a living breathing document that has to change according to the times

Trump recently said that knife crime was out of control here in the UK, especially London, in one of his dumb rants against the mayor. In the speech, he implied that its because we don't have guns. Well, here's some simple stats on gun control, Mr Trump: USA 2019 - 250 mass shootings up to August 2019. Hardly any gun control, firearm possession normal. UK 2019 - Zero mass shootings although some single individuals did get shot. Strict gun control , even possession of an unlicensed gun can potentially get you 5 years in prison. Which country would you like to live in?. Statistically speaking, since we have what the NRA would consider 'communist' gun control, in the UK you are more likely to get struck by lightning.
You can say F the NRA all you want. It's not going to change anything. There's an estimated 350 million guns on the streets already. Unless you're for a full-blown confiscation, no amount of gun control will stop the mass shootings.
@@phillipbenson7624 so...... my question is why would you want to disarm the public from effective weapons like AR-15s and AK-47s if we have a possible dictator in the Oval Office right now? I don't know about you but I would want to have as many tools at my disposal to try to put up a fight against a possible Hitler taking power. But then again I'm just a stupid guy who understands history.
@@deweycox6511 How about making it illegal to manufacture and sell guns, but no confiscation? Then the people who already have guns get to keep them so they can't bitch. And as you said, there are 350 million guns, so why would we need any more? Meanwhile, since the supply is restricted, the demand increases and the price of guns sky rockets. So the 20 year old loser who is mad at the world won't be able to afford a gun. Nor will the common thug on the street.
@@deweycox6511 Yes, I understand history as well. I know that in Australia guns were legal. Then in 1996 there was the Port Arthur Massacre. After that they banned guns. Since the ban, there has only been 1 mass shooting (Darwin Shooting, June 4, 2019). So yes, I would say that history shows that banning guns works to reduce mass shootings. As for Dictator Trump, I think all we need to do to get him out of the White House is to set up a large box on the White House lawn, propped up by a stick with a long string attached and a cheeseburger under it.

Our current gun laws are as such that certain entities and organizations, all made up of people, can plan on making X amount of dollars on average this year and for the years to come. Any changes in those laws that impose any new restrictions related to guns will to a certain extent result in a decrease in value of the variable X. So let's be clear, no one is on capital hill is lobbying on behalf of the NRA for any american's god-given rights, freedoms, or any of that bullshit. Make no mistake, it's about the money. It's always about the money.
Francisco...compa! I was a member in 1945, at six years old. Been shooting since I was 4. I was a member twice....never, never again. Traitorous Russian-sponsored organization.
The NRA was founded in 1871 by two northerners, William Conant Church a soldier and journalist (founder of the Army and Navy Journal and was a correspondent for the New York Times, was a Captain for the US Volunteers (US Army Reserve) promoted to brevet major and lieutenant colonel (temporary rank) during the Civil War and George Wood Wingate a lawyer and organizer of rifle practice (served in the New York National Guard, fought in the Civil War in the New York Regiment attaining the tank of Captain).
So one thing that frustrates me to no end, is the home defense argument people bring up all the time. A lot of people seem to fetishize the idea that at any minute a huge roving band of outlaws straight out of Mad Max are going to descend upon there suburban home, and only with their trusty AR-15 and Glock can they hope to survive. In the real world, if someone is looking to rob your house they almost always wait until the home is unoccupied, it's just easier. Meanwhile, by keeping guns in your house, the probability of you or someone else being injured or killed due to an accident is many many orders of magnitude more likely, than you needing to fend off a home invasion. Even in the unlikely scenario somebody breaks into your house, a gun is rarely needed to defend one's self. True story: I have a coworker who lives in the Adirondack North Country of New York, in a very rural and isolated location where it would likely take First Responders some time to reach. One night while giving his three year old son a bath he sees out the window someone rummaging around and trying to break into his garage. Unbeknownst to my coworker at the time, the individual trying to break in was high on meth, and had been fleeing from the police after robbing a 7-11. So did my coworker grab his trusty pump action shotgun and gun down this home invader, like so many gun nuts seem to dream about someday doing? No, he told his wife to take their son into the bedroom, lock the door and call the police, at which point my coworker went around the side of the house behind where the guy was and loudly yelled, "WHAT THE F@#K ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE!?" at the guy. At which point, the armed meth head got spooked, jumped up, and ran off into the woods behind the house. The police showed up a few minutes later, tracked the guy down and arrested him. TL;DR: My coworker fended off an armed home invasion by yelling at the criminal, no gun needed, because the real world isn't a bad Hollywood movie.
hah! i still have a Red Rider AIr Rifle :D still works too! I had to memorize the motto on the bottom of the arm stock before I could use it, I had that shit down within 24 hours :P

There is a way to ammend the constution, Or if you just don't want to have laws you disagree with I can think of a bunch to dump 1st ammenment, 13th, 22nd.
I swear I met Charlie Daniels when I was like 14. He lived across the street from my grandmother in Lebanon Tennessee. He gives out money to the people around the neighborhood at Christmas time.
lester brown im not saying that it would solve the problem, because the biggest part of the problem is mental illness, but it would help prevent accidental shootings and if more citizens were armed it would probably deter criminals from preying on the innocent. and if our countries morals were still at the point they were, say, 50 years ago, wed have a lot less kids so fucked in the head they walk into school with a rifle and open up.

@@tylerchandler8968 Mental illness is not the problem, but a society choosing to allow mentally ill people access to guns that is at fault. We have determined that providing care for the mentally ill is too expensive and prefer to imprison them instead. Or make some cash by selling them a weapon to use in defense when our government takes away their rights to cherry jello on Thursday evenings in prison. How easily could a shooter hide in a crowd of armed citizens? What would a cop look for when he arrives at a scene? As one citizen is aiming at the shooter, another citizen sees him about to shoot someone and shoots at him, who gets shot at by another good citizen. Armed concert witnesses at the Las Vegas shooting said they sat their weapons down to prevent being shot by police, who were looking for someone with a weapon. Also, friendly fire is no less lethal than an evil intentioned terrorist. When bullets go flying, where do they land? Good news, the perp was shot, bad news 14 innocents were killed in the ensuing barrage of liberty providers' bullets. The majority of mass shooters die on scene, I think any threat of death or incarceration is meaningless. They must consider this a final act? What morality does a nation that fosters second class citizens represent? Civil rights were being fought and died for fifty years ago. Minorities were being hanged and dragged to death. Education and housing and jobs were restricted to certain groups and not for others. Justice was not available to millions in America. Not everyone lived in the catbird seat that you enjoyed. Restricting LGBTQ rights is legislation being proposed currently. Gays in the sixties hid in fear. You aren't defending their lifestyle by protecting and defending their civil rights as humans. America has half the hand guns in the world, how many more do we need? All of them?

@John Grit What countries do you speak of? Where gun ownership was commonplace & then guns were banned followed by the powers that be murdering millions of their own?
"Did you know they used to be more than people who just trolled shooting victims on twitter? It's true!"
The sarcasm was palpable.

yeah no shit, why does this have 242 upvotes? It'd be like leaving a comment "he made shrimp scampi" on a video about making shrimp scampi
Norway has a population of 5,3 million. Rifle shooting is one of the biggest sports. Hunting one of the biggest hobbies. Norway has 1,3 million registered guns, and 460.000 registered gun owners.
You can start rifle shooting the year you become 10.
The Norwegian rifle shooting association is called The Voulenteer Shooting Society, and is born out of the need to have an armed civilian militia.
One of Norway's largest sporting event is the annual National Rifle Shooting Competition, which attracts over 5.000 competitors ranging in age from 9 to over 90 (no upper age limit). It's held over a week, and was first held in the late 1890s.
The final is broadcast live on the largest TV network.
Both women and men compete on equal terms.
To date there has been no lethal accidents or intentional happenings including guns on this event.
And when Norwegians gather in their trailers over a whole week, they also indulge in another past time favourite, binge drinking.
Norway has won the international military sniper competition, Vs competition from allied nations including the US.
In Norway, from 2012 to 2016 there was a total of 154 homicides. 15 of those involved firearms.
In the same 208 weeks there was 208 winners of the weekly stately lottery. This means you where 14 times more likely to win the main price in the weekly lottery, than be intentionally or unintentionally killed by the use of a fire arm.
It isn't the guns that are the problem, it's gun control.
So the NRA has all opertunity in the world to both keep their guns, keep the second amendment, and keep people safe.
- Have strict gun control, including background checks and a waiting period.
- Have strict standards of where and when it's legal to use those guns.
- Fight for recourses to take care of the citizens mental health. Especially veterans with PTSD.
- Monitor white supremacist, and take guns away from people not fit to carry them.
It's NRAs responsibility to do the right thing!
MrLundefaret we have federal background checks and most states have a waiting period
@@victorhapavenka170 My opinion is that the NRA can combine responsibility, safety, and the protection of the second amendment.
First I will underline why Norway has its Voulenteer Shooting Society (the Norwegian version of the NRA).
- As in the US, this is based on the need for a civilian militia, in case the Army, and the National Guard, needs support if there is an attack on Norway's sovereignty by a foreign state. Or if the government and the Army acts in an unconstitutional way towards its citizens, so the government needs to be overthrown.
This is the same reasons as is stated in the US second amendment.
- The regulations regarding buying and owning a firearm is in short:
Rifles and shotguns can be bought from the age of 18 (dispensation can be given down to 16).
You must fill in a formal application too the police. There you have to prove that you are going to use the weapon for either hunting or target practice/sport.
The time it takes from the application is officially filed, until you get a permit, varies. But there is a waiting period.
Since you can start target shooting with a rifle from the year you become 10, one of your parents, or another care taker needs to hold your permit.
It's also usual that the local rifle club has lend out rifles.
When it comes to the rifles and shotguns, there are some limitations.
Shotguns: Semi automatic shotguns are allowed, but when you go hunting you can only keep two cartridges in the clip.
There are also regulations in regards too the amunition type and calibre.
It's not allowed to shorten the barrel of a shotgun.
Rifles: Semi automatic rifles are allowed, but will require a more thorough check. Especially if it's a "tactical" rifle, like the AR15.
Long Range shooting has become very popular, and heavy calibres are allowed (like the Lapua Magnum sniper round), but 50 cal is not allowed.
When it comes to handguns (pistols and revolvers), there are stricter rules:
- You must be at least 21 years of age.
- You must have been an active member of a hand gun club (target or tactical shooting) for the minimum of 6 months.
- The police will do a more thorough background check.
- Even if you fulfill all these requirements, there still is a waiting period.
A general rule is that you can own a maximum of 8 registered guns. But you can get dispensation if you can prove that you are a gun collector.
I am just informing of this, since both the US and Norway have the same outset when it comes to the need of an armed civilian militia, and both countries have many citizens that use firearms for sport, hunting or both.
So this is one way too keep your guns, while keeping safe.
I know different US states have different regulations, and also different statistics when it comes to people being injured or killed by firearms.
I also know there are loopholes, like buying a gun at a gun show.
It's the same with road traffic.
If your beloved one was seriously injured because he or she was hit by a car. And you learned that this happened because the state had suddenly dropped the requirement for having a driver's license. My guess is that you would be outraged. Now facing a lot of people let loose in traffic whithout knowing anything about driving, not knowing the signes or signals, not even knowing which side of the road to drive on.
I would bet that your reaction would be in favour of bringing back the requirement for a driving license, to avoid the dangerous chaos?
And Norway failed in controlling white supremacist, who dress up like a police officer and killed kids in summer camp.
haha the right thing is maximizing $$$$ for them
@@ggsay1687 This is absolutely true. So even with strict gun control, and surveillance (the perpetrator had by buying various materials that put him on a list of people to watch out for), you can't be 100% safe.
In Norway after this attack (he both set of a huge home made bomb outside the Norwegian Parliament building in Oslo, then travelled to a small island where The Workers Party had their annual youth summer camp, killing and injuring both youth and adults), there was a big debate about outlawing semi automatic rifles (it did not happen), and it was stricter control buying artificial manure.
The US ranks Nr 1 in the statistics when it comes to gun violence in developed countries, measured by injuries and or deaths pr 100.000 people.
In the US, depending on the parameters, there is statistically about one mass shooting every day.
The US intelligence capacity is the world's most advanced, but was unable to act in time in regards to the 9/11 attacks, and seems unable to pick out the majority of mass shooters before they have committed their crime.
So if the US intelligence capacity struggles with this, with the manpower, experience, technology and methods they have at hand, this speaks volumes about how hard a task it is.
I am presenting a method of how the US can keep its guns while keeping safe (at least safer), but as you point out, the only way too be 100% sure of being 100% safe from firearms, is to ban and impound 100% of them. But this would be going against the constitutional principle of the second amendment.

OK, there's a lot to unpack there.
FDR hated the KKK just as much as his wife, an outspoken Colored persons' activist. He shared many of his wife's views on equal rights for black and other colored citizens, and appointed many black people to notable positions in the government. The only reason he didn't make policies against racism was because whether he liked it or not, the KKK was a powerful faction, and their supporters, the southern democrats (who later BECAME republicans to appeal to minority populations in the south), would have never let FDR pass any bill needed simply to keep america stable. It was either about thirty more years of racial inequality or the collapse of the United States because some stuck-up racists in the south were still bitter about not having slaves anymore. Also, FDR turned away the ship of Jewish refugees because he had received reports from his advisors that there may have been Nazi spies aboard. The ship didn't even return to Germany. FDR was a democrat, but he was not the same kind of democrat that founded the KKK. The KKK were founded by the southern democrats, a sub-section of democrats who had fought against the union in the civil war. Very important: Democrats =/= southern democrats. The 1934 firearms act was a law passed to prevent gang violence by putting restrictions on automatic weapons; he didn't ban them, he simply added some extra requirements for their acquisition. As a result, gang violence lowered significantly, meaning this policy was successful. Also, the federal government did not try to intentionally poison alcohol meant for human consumption. It was not only illegal to consume liquor, it was illegal to produce it. However, there were no such limitations on industrial alcohol, so the workers in factories and other manufacturing centers would often drink it as a substitute. To discourage this, the federal government mandated the addition of lethal chemicals into this industrial alcohol, as well as warnings of toxicity on their containers. The government did not intentionally try to poison people; They knew the alcohol was toxic and they drank it anyway. That's on them, not the government. While the atomic bombs that were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki were sort of extreme, it was necessary; the Japanese would not have surrendered until every single one of their troops were dead. This would have led to the devastation of the Japanese countryside and the deaths of not only more Japanese and American soldiers, but also more Japanese civilians than those in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Additionally, there is no evidence that such "experiments" took place; FDR advocated the idea that there was no master race, as he, with the help of the United States war department, released a film called "Don't be a Sucker", warning against the dangers of fascism and alt-right racist ideas. One notable quote from the film comes from a depicted professor in a German college, where the professor, shortly before being detained by the SS, states that "...there is no master race. That is a scientific truth." FDR did not cause the great depression. The Wall Street crash of 1929 happened in, you guessed it, 1929, and FDR was elected president in 1933. When he was president, the new deal he enacted made new policies that helped to save hundreds of thousands of American citizens. By instituting a welfare program, he could ensure that the people who needed it most could have money to get food and not die. It also promoted the development and maintenance of American infrastructure and even founded the boy scouts! He instituted no such laws limiting the amount of food people could grow. The holocaust was only revealed in 1945 by the Soviets, who reported it to the international community immediately. Also, what do you mean he "refused" to bomb the Germans? When america entered the war, cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg were decimated by US bombing runs. That included their infrastructure like railways, roads, etc. Also, the United Kingdom had no advance warning of the attack, and remember, ports all over the pacific were bombed, including Portuguese, Dutch, AND BRITISH ones. They were all done at the same time for the exact purpose of not being able to send advance warning. FDR made no pacts or alliances with Mussolini; They were at war! They didn't want to make friends with people they were dragged in to fight! And while he did make an alliance with Stalin, it was necessary. America couldn't have defeated Germany without soviet help; that's a simple fact. There's actually very little evidence that LBJ said that. The statement that he did originated in a far-right newspaper from the 1990's, decades after the fact. Plus, I'm pretty sure the American Revolution was started by unfair taxation of colonial imports. And if your "teachers" are yelling you all of this, they're either grossly misinformed or intentionally spreading false info. I, myself, am all in favor of the second amendment. People need to be able to defend themselves. I am not, however, in favor of lax policies regarding gun acquisition and use. Such policies have led directly to the deaths of dozens of America's youth at the hands of edgy teens whose parents either neglect or abuse them. People don't need to show others they have a gun on them unless they're law enforcement officers (the BLM issue is a whole other can of worms that I don't wanna open with you). We need to be more careful when it comes to who gets guns and how they can be used in public places. For your sake, I would highly advise checking with reliable sources before making blatantly false political statements like the ones you've made. Trust me: It'll save you a lot of eye-rolls in the future.

@John Grit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_gun_control_argument
The problem with gun culture is they equate guns with manliness. This is poison. Compasion empathy courage and honesty make you a man! These traits have been lost in our culture!
Right on.
Yeah having a gun makes for a dead man, not a man
there's so few 'rites of passage' for boys and girls now days, the symbolic ownership of guns makes an 'adult' and a 'person in control' out of the owner. Too many films, and i'm not saying it's all Hollywood's fault, show the person with the gun has the power, the control, the most badass lines in the movie. It's a status symbol, a metaphor for the right to be taken seriously.
@@blackbird5634 True but there is no right to be taken seriously, therefore guns are just a cheap shortcut for people who don't want to bother with developing credibility.
@Nilly Sigger power is not the same as maturity.

My father was a hunter when I was growing up, and I was always around rifles. I have 4 older brothers who also were hunters when they got older, and my father was a member of the NRA. If he was alive today to see what they're doing, he would be appalled.
I love guns. I own and shoot many of them, regularly. There's no earthly reason why someone like me shouldn't do so, but there's no proof that I'm sane and reasonable, and that's a problem. I also LOATHE the NRA (who haven't done anything significant for gun rights in at least a generation and are nothing more than an ultra-right-wing fundraising organization preying on the fear and ignorance of their members and making it worse) and am FIRMLY in favor of more sensible gun-control legislation like requiring periodical psychiatric evaluation and background checks, and safety training and agree with red flag legislation and many other aspects. We have to prove our mental and physical fitness to perform almost any dangerous act EXCEPT owning, concealing, and firing very deadly weapons? That's fucking absurd. We're not all idiots, I promise.
Thank you for being a genuine person and contributing to a safer society by passing sensible gun-control legislation.
@Noiseless Sounds why are you stereotyping. It was a very calm and sensible statement by someone who is passionate about guns but is aware of the hypocrisy that goes along with the culture and regulations. Close minded statements like yours wont achieve anything.
@thesinnerjimwhitney I don’t own a gun, but I would like to own one and learn how to shoot. For protection purposes, like if someone try’s to break into my house. But I can’t imagine, the way I live my life, being in a position where I have to use an AR-15. 🤞🏽 on that civil war not breaking out lol😬. So I support your comment. 👍🏼

Isn't crazy how the people who say they are the party of Lincoln are the most likely to use the Confederate flag as their logo?
😱😷
the parties switche sometime in the early 1900s
@dogboy1953 It was really pretty gradual. The Republicans abandoned Reconstruction in 1877, but they were better on civil rights for decades. During the New Deal, black voters in the north started trending Democratic. In 1948, the Democratic Party won a strong civil rights plank in the convention and there was the Dixiecrat revolt. By 1964, the change was complete. While Republicans like to point to the fact that a higher percentage of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, if you define the South as those states that committed treason a century earlier, Northern Democrats voted for them in a higher percentage than Northern Republicans, and Southern Democrats supported them in a higher percentage than Southern Republicans. The only difference being that there weren't many Southern Republicans in Congress at the time.
@John Grit

Trump recently said that knife crime was out of control here in the UK, especially London, in one of his dumb rants against the mayor. In the speech, he implied that its because we don't have guns.
Well, here's some simple stats on gun control, Mr Trump:
USA 2019 - 250 mass shootings up to August 2019. Hardly any gun control, firearm possession normal.
UK 2019 - Zero mass shootings although some single individuals did get shot. Strict gun control , even possession of an unlicensed gun can potentially get you 5 years in prison.
Which country would you like to live in?. Statistically speaking, since we have what the NRA would consider 'communist' gun control, in the UK you are more likely to get struck by lightning.

You can say F the NRA all you want. It's not going to change anything. There's an estimated 350 million guns on the streets already. Unless you're for a full-blown confiscation, no amount of gun control will stop the mass shootings.
@@phillipbenson7624 so...... my question is why would you want to disarm the public from effective weapons like AR-15s and AK-47s if we have a possible dictator in the Oval Office right now? I don't know about you but I would want to have as many tools at my disposal to try to put up a fight against a possible Hitler taking power. But then again I'm just a stupid guy who understands history.
@@deweycox6511 How about making it illegal to manufacture and sell guns, but no confiscation? Then the people who already have guns get to keep them so they can't bitch. And as you said, there are 350 million guns, so why would we need any more? Meanwhile, since the supply is restricted, the demand increases and the price of guns sky rockets. So the 20 year old loser who is mad at the world won't be able to afford a gun. Nor will the common thug on the street.
@@deweycox6511 Yes, I understand history as well. I know that in Australia guns were legal. Then in 1996 there was the Port Arthur Massacre. After that they banned guns. Since the ban, there has only been 1 mass shooting (Darwin Shooting, June 4, 2019). So yes, I would say that history shows that banning guns works to reduce mass shootings.
As for Dictator Trump, I think all we need to do to get him out of the White House is to set up a large box on the White House lawn, propped up by a stick with a long string attached and a cheeseburger under it.

Humpty Trumpty sat on a wall Humpty Trumpty had a big fall and all of mike pences horses and all of his men couldn’t put Humpty Trumpty back together again .
5:56 ...I just had an anime idea. And if it's written right, a shonen series.
"People say I'm no good, and crazy as a loon" - Charlie Daniels, "Long Haired Country Boy"
Live long enough, Charlie, and you'll prove people right!
Charlie's a professional asshole. He took MONEY to sell that shit. I wouldn't go with him ANYWHERE dangerous. Little old loudmouthed dumbass. Down to GA, huh. If so, the Devil's wearing his skin right now, huh?
Hey Jim you are man , love it. Some groups of people here thinks the NRA is a branch of government
A fiddle is just a racist violin? Too funny!! Twice the strings, twice the hatred
Rip them to shreds, Jim!
Hahahahaha Charlie Daniels, thanks for giving the world another laugh...
Jefferies is one of the funniest comedians around. Very topical.
What's a terrished?
That great racist Reagan. Trump's favourite.
Does that mic on Jim's desk looks like a revolver with its barrel stuck to a piece of plastic or is it just me?
No gun's no mass shooting
Hus 9 then they go to the next best thing, also guns are used in 3 million defensive cases per year so no guns= millions of more crime.
I grew up with guns, mostly long guns and today i only own a sidearm, but i am liberal and a veteran.
Someone start the American Rifle Association (ARA) that advocates gun control but also safe gun practice.
Jim, whats the derogatory term that you used during a podcast to describe black people?
Oooo, some random TH-cam Nazi is triggered.
Daneelro yes, you are 😁
@@dannythomas4835 Your dedication to your failed cause borders on the clinically insane.
or what he told to about muslims 😁
Daneelro thinks hoardes of Nazis time traveled from 1941 to 2019 just to write comments on TH-cam, yet thinks other people are crazy. 😄
Creeper
No ;)
Awww man
Jim is king.
I think he did invent the Slinky. It's the only toy that has one single piece and is delivered broken.
Our current gun laws are as such that certain entities and organizations, all made up of people, can plan on making X amount of dollars on average this year and for the years to come. Any changes in those laws that impose any new restrictions related to guns will to a certain extent result in a decrease in value of the variable X. So let's be clear, no one is on capital hill is lobbying on behalf of the NRA for any american's god-given rights, freedoms, or any of that bullshit. Make no mistake, it's about the money. It's always about the money.
The highway costume absolutely got me! Fucking priceless
From my understanding, after the US government went into the KKK heavily during the civil rights movement. The NRA was then established.
Francisco...compa! I was a member in 1945, at six years old. Been shooting since I was 4.
I was a member twice....never, never again. Traitorous Russian-sponsored organization.
The NRA was founded in 1871 by two northerners, William Conant Church a soldier and journalist (founder of the Army and Navy Journal and was a correspondent for the New York Times, was a Captain for the US Volunteers (US Army Reserve) promoted to brevet major and lieutenant colonel (temporary rank) during the Civil War and George Wood Wingate a lawyer and organizer of rifle practice (served in the New York National Guard, fought in the Civil War in the New York Regiment attaining the tank of Captain).
Anyone else think the teacher at the gun camp looks like Sterling Archer?
So one thing that frustrates me to no end, is the home defense argument people bring up all the time. A lot of people seem to fetishize the idea that at any minute a huge roving band of outlaws straight out of Mad Max are going to descend upon there suburban home, and only with their trusty AR-15 and Glock can they hope to survive. In the real world, if someone is looking to rob your house they almost always wait until the home is unoccupied, it's just easier.
Meanwhile, by keeping guns in your house, the probability of you or someone else being injured or killed due to an accident is many many orders of magnitude more likely, than you needing to fend off a home invasion.
Even in the unlikely scenario somebody breaks into your house, a gun is rarely needed to defend one's self.
True story: I have a coworker who lives in the Adirondack North Country of New York, in a very rural and isolated location where it would likely take First Responders some time to reach. One night while giving his three year old son a bath he sees out the window someone rummaging around and trying to break into his garage. Unbeknownst to my coworker at the time, the individual trying to break in was high on meth, and had been fleeing from the police after robbing a 7-11. So did my coworker grab his trusty pump action shotgun and gun down this home invader, like so many gun nuts seem to dream about someday doing? No, he told his wife to take their son into the bedroom, lock the door and call the police, at which point my coworker went around the side of the house behind where the guy was and loudly yelled, "WHAT THE F@#K ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE!?" at the guy. At which point, the armed meth head got spooked, jumped up, and ran off into the woods behind the house. The police showed up a few minutes later, tracked the guy down and arrested him.
TL;DR: My coworker fended off an armed home invasion by yelling at the criminal, no gun needed, because the real world isn't a bad Hollywood movie.
VOTE
That was me back when I was a Boy Scout, I had my 22 rifle. It's so true.
the art of the LIE, Charlie Daniels go back to Georgia
the time travelers paradox!!!!!!
brilliant!
hah! i still have a Red Rider AIr Rifle :D still works too! I had to memorize the motto on the bottom of the arm stock before I could use it, I had that shit down within 24 hours :P
Raped and a potentially deadly/hazardous victim.
Gotta love this guys accent...👍
First lesson you learn when getting a BB gun is.........that a BB gun is NOT a toy.
I suggest you look up the word entrophy.
This guy is amazing.
Charlie Daniels also made the song Long Haired Country Boy.
Wait I heard in a video the "devil went down to georga" guy died like a couple years after he wrote it. How is he still alive 40+ years later? Am I confusing people or what's going on here?
I bet old Charley wishes "Ballad of Uneasy Rider" would just disappear.
There is a way to ammend the constution, Or if you just don't want to have laws you disagree with I can think of a bunch to dump 1st ammenment, 13th, 22nd.
I don't think we should give people who wrestle Gators a gun.
Maybe give them a Psyche exam.
I swear I met Charlie Daniels when I was like 14. He lived across the street from my grandmother in Lebanon Tennessee. He gives out money to the people around the neighborhood at Christmas time.
Selling ones soul to the devil tends to do that.
it was to teach them to be responsible. and it worked. there were a helluva lot less shootings back in those days
lester brown im not saying that it would solve the problem, because the biggest part of the problem is mental illness, but it would help prevent accidental shootings and if more citizens were armed it would probably deter criminals from preying on the innocent. and if our countries morals were still at the point they were, say, 50 years ago, wed have a lot less kids so fucked in the head they walk into school with a rifle and open up.
@@tylerchandler8968
Mental illness is not the problem, but a society choosing to allow mentally ill people access to guns that is at fault.
We have determined that providing care for the mentally ill is too expensive and prefer to imprison them instead. Or make some cash by selling them a weapon to use in defense when our government takes away their rights to cherry jello on Thursday evenings in prison.
How easily could a shooter hide in a crowd of armed citizens? What would a cop look for when he arrives at a scene? As one citizen is aiming at the shooter, another citizen sees him about to shoot someone and shoots at him, who gets shot at by another good citizen. Armed concert witnesses at the Las Vegas shooting said they sat their weapons down to prevent being shot by police, who were looking for someone with a weapon.
Also, friendly fire is no less lethal than an evil intentioned terrorist. When bullets go flying, where do they land? Good news, the perp was shot, bad news 14 innocents were killed in the ensuing barrage of liberty providers' bullets.
The majority of mass shooters die on scene, I think any threat of death or incarceration is meaningless. They must consider this a final act?
What morality does a nation that fosters second class citizens represent? Civil rights were being fought and died for fifty years ago. Minorities were being hanged and dragged to death. Education and housing and jobs were restricted to certain groups and not for others. Justice was not available to millions in America. Not everyone lived in the catbird seat that you enjoyed. Restricting LGBTQ rights is legislation being proposed currently. Gays in the sixties hid in fear. You aren't defending their lifestyle by protecting and defending their civil rights as humans.
America has half the hand guns in the world, how many more do we need? All of them?
It's a racist violin.
EXCELLENT JIM JEFFERIES! kEEP ON ROCKIN IT!
ATTENTION WALMART SHOPPERS!!!
I had a highway costume as a child, and I had lots of fun!
Best fucking show in the US lol by a long shot! I'm glad I ran into this
Ui, this is a nice show! Just discovered it for myself. Here, have a sub!
Arab Juice is great with vodka! Goes down easy like a girl in a prearranged marriage!
Really went to shit when Wayne LaPiss ant took charge.
The Invisible Pedestrian Costume is property of Irving Mainway industries LTD .
The NRA logo looks like an ashtray
adding the dates when he talk about the stuff really is not helping his case or is that just me ?
Love this guy’s humor
Miss Jim Jefferies 😔
Ah, Charlie Daniels. What would ’Merica do without him?
I used to like Charlie Daniels.
Who knew a hat could talk? That hat says: "I hate ever'body what disagrees with me! And I'll shoot 'em from the front seat of muh yuuuge small-penis-compensator, errrrr, pickup truck."
A Republican Election Ad popped up in the beginning of the video trying to scare me. Thought it was how this episode started sense it was so comical!
comedians are the ones making sense during this times of collective delusion ,in the "80/90's rock and roll and rap music had meaning and tackled social ills .I donno where today's rap music is going .
The same thing in a lot of cases. The same as it's always been.
"Cause that's how you get the splinters!"
Take my fiddle ? Out of my cold dead hands!.
