- Following a school shooting Thursday in Perry, Iowa, that injured at least five people, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis offered his support to Iowa but said dealing with shootings “is more of a local and state issue,” declining to suggest any changes to federal law he’d support that would make shootings less frequent.

The title is giving me a seizure
Just who is responsible for this Titles word salad ? How shameful for the corporate overlords
They misspelled “to” as “ot” which autocorrects to “other”. Cut em some slack, they just didn’t proof it.
Unless they're uploading from their phone, why is there an autocorrect? Or do they just right click any red squiggles and brainlessly pick the first result?@@HermitLady
@@skylarc6063 I dunno man, I’m guessing. It bugs me too, but I’m trying not to be judgey about it. 🤣. Especially since it’s been live long enough for someone to notice. 🤦♀️
@@HermitLady They aren’t your local high school paper, supposedly a top news stations.
@@HermitLady It's annoying since this is supposed to be a professional news agency.
Getting things correct and accurate are supposed to be what they do.
Then again, it is NBC, and their "News Reports" are little more than Fictional Writing similar to what a 7th grader might do in a Journalism 101 class.
Who wrote the title of this video?
"declines other name any federal gun policy"
The title just proves how unqualified these people are. Must be dei.
I resent him saying homelessness is a mental health issue. I have been homeless and it was due to circumstances beyond my control, not my mental health.
He's completely out of touch with reality.
9out of 10 suffer from depression, ptsd and things like that so he is not wrong !!!!
Same here. People just lump us all,together and make us the problem not the circumstances.
@@johndoe-to2uc depression, ptsd, and things like that don't cause homelessness. Can they contribute? Yes - but are they the cause? No.
@@turbojaxx1641 Exactly. Depression, PTSD and homelessness are the symptoms of systemic failures. The leading causes of homelessness in the US is lack of affordable housing, affordable healthcare, bankruptcy because of medical debt, domestic violence and yes, addiction.
Florida Florida Florida. And why is he smiling right after hearing such tragic news?
Yes, stay out of FL.
He is still learning how to smile and doesn't really know when he should.
I doubt DeSatan's kids are in public schools.
DeSantis literally just referred to guns killing “things”. THE THINGS ARE PEOPLE
Honest mistake, if you've seen the coverage from Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, etc...
He doesn't want to risk misgendering them. I hope the Drag Queen show wasn't postponed.
@@tgriffin3059 I’ll have to disagree.
Crazy how guns can just warp the minds of helpless kids and turn them into shooters.
Nice job at twisting words.
Never let a tragedy go to waste
Especially on the day on the Epstein drop! I called it
Cloward-Piven. What I love about Ron is you do not get away with the liberal BS on his watch.
@@__-bz7whlmao flat earther. Trump was on that list
Feds did this
Many laws and regulations were passed only after a tragedy happened.
The media is about to stop covering this one too pretty soon.
Half of the boys that I went to high school with had shotguns or rifles in their vehicles. School shootings were completely unheard of. The uptick in gun violence is more about failure to teach people right from wrong and hold them accountable.
So true.
......what is the correct 2nd amendment interpretation. The Courts have ruled on this@@REL602
Get help@@REL602
Absolutely correct
@REL602 you're delusional lol.
We don't need new laws, we need the existing laws to be enforced.
Yea because the 400 federal gun laws we already have on the books are working out great wouldn’t you say? Yea that’s what thought.🤡
We need the gun laws not to be further weakened!
@@landkruiser1095 They are not uniformly being enforced.
Go ahead and tell us what NEW Gun Laws would stop this and any other mass shooting. Please educate us and all the rest of the country on how we should be doing it. LOLOLOL.
@@thomasjoseph5876The problem is that regulated states are surrounded by unregulated states. 90% of guns are trafficked from those borders. Maybe we should build walls around states like Texas and Florida, all they bring is crime and guns.
@@declaringpond2276 If that were the case then wouldn’t the states with lax gun laws have the same amount if not more crime then the states the guns are being trafficked to? 😂
I bet DeSantis’ children are in private school.
in private school AND security guards probably
If you can afford it, what sane person wouldn't choose a private school? Public schools are liberals sewers...
No definitely!!!
public schools the place a child can identify as a cat and use a litter box. Good parents home school
Caravan of Bulletproof SUVs.
What's up with this video title. Are the producers at NBC News even literate? LOL
Yeah, I think “to” misspelled “ot” auto corrects to “other” and they just didn’t proof it. It should say …declines “to”….
A totally inhuman, heartless response.
What is he supposed to say exactly. He said he created safe places in his school and to investigate mental health problems. That is the reasonable response.
Well he’s a dum dum sooooo
If a politician gets emotional talking about policy, then they definitely would not be the right person for the job.
He’s too afraid to say anything real.
@@margo3367 He wouldn't know what 'real' is anyway.
Not one mention from him of this happening inside a gun free zone...
In Florida even the cat is armed. Why do they need so many guns if that is a safe State?
its a safe state because people have guns. not just the crimimals. duuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
As a Floridian, I won’t vote for him as president!
I hope you didn't vote for him as governor.
@rncine Did you vote for Trump, or Biden?
Of course not......That's for Trump, or Vivek. Uni-Party Ron can stay right where he's needed, which is Florida.
I'm sure he'll be crushed by this news.
@@DanielCadarette He’s down on the polls, so who cares if he will be crushed!
Wrong DeSantis.
The " right " DeSantis is too orange to suggest any better solutions .
'A shooting situation?' Sugar coating doesn't come thicker than that.
His high heels are more genuine than his soulless emptiness. He is here to maintain the problems, not fix them. Another rightwing saboteur.
You can't get a straight answer from the Harvard and Yale educated governor that was raised by Italians in the Florida beach town of Dunedin, Fl while wearing his cowboy boot costume in Iowa. His very, very ineffective Florida gun policy lead to the recent stand off and death by shooting of Steven Clark Jr. of Ocala after he pointed a gun at law enforcement in the conservative town of Ocala, Fl on 12/31/23. Tina Clark, mother, blames law enforcement for their failed effort to get her son psychiatric help by using Florida's "Baker Act" on that life changing afternoon. His answer for Florida school safety is for training teachers in fire arms to defend students from shootings by people who are not required to have gun safety training before carry a loaded gun.
Ron is more afraid of Trump supporters than of teenagers with guns.
When you are getting paid by gun manufacturers.....
Gun grabbers, when will there be enough laws that we'll be safe? He's spot on. Criminals don't obey laws, this person was already a prohibited possessor. We don't suffer for lack of laws against violence, we suffer from people who just don't care and do it anyway. It's not a gun problem or a law problem, it's a people problem.
You're right. The people cannot be controlled. You know what COULD be controlled? The guns. Unless you honestly just don't care. Which is where we obviously are. Christ I wish Republicans would stop feigning concern. The one obvious thing thing they could do to prevent it they refuse to even discuss. At least DeSantis didn't pretend to be moved or shocked or outraged by the most recent shooting. At least cold and callous is honest.
How naive can gun lovers remain? What will it take? Which members of your family are expendable in the name of "the price of freedom?" And remember, these gun supporting politicians are bought, sold and wrapped with a pretty bow by the gun industry and corrupt NRA.
Precisely!
Shootings happen here in Florida daily…..he’s full of it.
Not school shootings. Violent crime happens everyday everywhere.
It's been 5 years since our last school shooting. After the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting they moved quick to make sure there are armed teachers or guards in every school.
Exactly.
which demographic does the most shootings in Florida after adjusting for per capita?
@@talesofgore9424You already know.
"After Iowa shooting, Ron DeSantis declines other name any federal gun policy he’d shift" - who writes this copy? Does this person speak English? It's incomprehensible
Lol. What is the caption/video title trying to say?
Took me a minute to figure it out. "After Iowa shooting, Ron DeSantis declines TO name any federal gun policy he’d shift". There, I fixed it.
What are stronger background checks? Do people not know whats already in place? When DUI's became a problem we focused on the people and made stricter punishments for the people, no one ever addressed or even mentioned cars. Why do people think guns are a problem? Because they were taught to fear them?
because its the one thing stopping them from having total control over what we can or can't do, think, say.
They Are a Big Problem in this nra owned country.
Couldn’t agree more with you.
@@yourfavoritelawnguy2722 if you don't think for one moment that the government could totally wipe out in a millisecond any uprising if it chose to your nuts. Guns are just an excuse for little boys to play...
You are a very slow person. How can you actuate the two, cars and guns?
Never let a disaster go to waste🤡🌎
I will NOT vote for DeSantis.
IT IS NOT THE WEAPON! IT IS THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE YOUTH. If American's forfeit their right to bear arms, we put every citizen in the country at risk along with democracy. That fact unfortunately trump's everything else. Even the deaths of these poor children that lost there lives today do to someone with mental health issues. Terrible tragedy for these parent's.
So we screen every gun owner for their mental health history and monitor the mental health of their children? What do you propose we do about gun owners’ mental health?
Edit: spelling
no gun zone = not safe zone
DeSantis has earned an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association
HE'S A MASS SHOOTING ENABLER!
@@ldfreitas9437congratulations welcome to the real world you found out 👏
Don’t you mean “$$$$$$” from the NRA?

We are seeing the true colors of these professional politicians
Almost sounds like we need nationalized public healthcare, including mental health.
Take that 40 million that Mike Johnson says the border doesn’t want and use it for mental health/ healthcare.
Yeah, let’s just add it to the $34T tab
The fact that people believe this is possible after decades of federal mismanagement demonstrates the power of magical thinking
Mental heath for sure 🌈

Virtually all euro welfare states are the same way, and as they reach demographic collapse with only unproductive (ie immigrant) population growth they won’t be able to afford it either
We do hold people accountable. But that happens after the carnage.
Its a free for all in Florida.
He represents a danger to this country!
Look at those boots😂 it's okay to be short man it's life

How about a real headline with sensation to it, “Florida governor supports children death”
How is that a 'real' headline? I'm not sure what's worse, the fact you would say something that ignorant - or the fact you actually believe it.
Why don,t you get back to Florida and help us not ever other states
Suspect a minor so he could not legally own a gun
Smoke and Mirrors, duck, dodge, and distract. Yep, way to avoid the question Ron…

@@JohnBuckmaster-sw3wmmore gun control 😂
Define "Woman" for us, Lynn.

A local and state issue like Florida. It set's the perfect tone for the GOP caucus. Surprised we didn't have to hear the "Thought's and Prayer's are with you" BS as well.
Well Captain Obvious, whats your plan ?
Mental Health seems to be ignored by Mainstream Media. These shootings are about mental health. Regular people do not shoot others. Besides criminals ya know.
Quit one siding the issue because of bias against "Mainstream Media". Two problems can exist at the same time.
mental health is hard to measure. some Kids have been bullied and they are hurt and angry.. Their parents are unaware of it. a few are in the early stages of schizophrenia and reject medication even if they see a doctor..You can't mandate that everyone take a mental health exam. We have abdicated our responsibility to keep children safe. That isn't an oversight. It is a conscious decision..
Wow. Based on most of these leftist comments, our country is in big trouble. Great interview DeSantis!!
Agreed
They tried to make him look bad but they only revealed he's trying to actually fix the problem which is clearly and obviously mental illness in this country!
@@Honey-SanchezThey think "leftist" means anyone who's not far right.
These people unironically believe LIBERALS, the inventors and perpetrators of CAPITALISM are "leftists"
Still not feeling any empathy from De Santis.
The federal government doesn't have control over arms as per the constitution
The US starting 2024 on a pretty bad note...I see. This is now considered the norm.
Not the new norm, just that gun control clearly isn't working and isn't the solution so we need to get over it and stop wasting our time and effort on the false promises of gun control. Lack of laws against criminal behavior isn't the problem, so new laws aren't the solution. Enforce what we have instead of virtue signaling with empty political gestures that have no teeth. You can't strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
Good headline.
He hasn't done anything for us down here.
DeSantis won’t state the obvious.
What's the obvious?
The last flurry of gun laws you people passed did little to change the problem.
California has the most strict gun laws and has the most problems with school shootings, so what does that help? And Newsom is a tool. He doesn’t believe in the constitution so he think that will help by us getting rid of the constitution. Just keep voting for him. He’ll be up for president I’m sure.
You know all of your favorite Dem politicians rely on the gun industry to do things like arm the Ukrainians, right? @@CraigScottFrost
That an increased in progressives leads to an increase in gun violence?
He is so very capable, knowledgeable, and articulate about any issue that is thrown at him, even with these two biased bozos. He should be doing much better in the polls ….hmmm🤔
Restore The Second Amendment. Repeal the NFA and GCA.
Kid was 17 and mentally ill. He was prohibited from even possessing a gun. He was on a suicidal mission. He also had a homemade bomb. Also illegal. The laws are already there. He broke them; Just like he would break any other laws.
No cop assigned to the school, seven minutes to respond, order food and call the police see who gets there first
Two inches heels on cowboy boots.
These two couldn't power a LED lightbulb which, for those of you who down know, needs much less power than an incandescent. 💯🎯 ❤️🔥
Yet they still outshine De Santis.
So sick of hearing ''Chicago'' as an excuse from these Republicans every time there is a mass shooting.
Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing for gun grabbers to be reminded by Chicago how ineffective gun control is at actually solving the problems? Truth hurts, it should make you "tired"... if you want people to stop pointing out how bad ineffective gun control is in Chicago... then try something new and fix Chicago instead of pushing the same ineffective laws on others.
We do not infringe on law abiding citizens. 🎯
I call BS. In Florida unqualified people are given the right to institutionalize Anyone they want out of their unqualified personal opinion.
Why are there still so many 'Florida Men' out there? Families need to start reporting more relatives
He reminds me of George castanza on Seinfeld with his timberland boots to make him look taller. Now Ron is stuck only wearing his high heel boots because everyone will laugh at him if wears loafers and loses two inches.
I can't wait until the summer to get a gander at his sassy summertime dress code?😂 I hope & pray that he tries to wear his "fancy fashion pumps/boots" with some shorts or sweatpants😅😂
@@peacefulpear8 nobody has an issue with his height so stop. It’s the fact he hides his real height then lies about it when asked. It’s the lying and hiding that’s the issue. If he will lie about something this trivial and obvious what else will he lie about?

Yeah, mental health and community efforts and of course, holding people responsible when it comes to accessing gun
😊under desantis gun violence has exploded in florida just like our cost of living, which has skyrocketed, insurance costs are some of the highest (if not THE HIGHEST) in the country. desantis is like getting an exploding fruit cake for christmas, something nobody wants, but will definitely spoil your situation. 😂
That's because of all the people that are flooding that state moving from liberal S*it holes like Commiefornia, N.Y. , Chicago etc. Supply and demand. It's happening' here in Texas too with everyone moving here too. Everything here has skyrocketed, I'm like I wish they would stop moving here . STOP moving here UGHHHHHH. It's not DeSantis's fault people are moving there DUHHHH
It’s our right as Americans. To say otherwise is extremely dishonest or just lies
I won't matter to him EVER. It doesn't effect him personally.
"I won't matter to him EVER. It doesn't effect him personally."
So he's like a Democrat with illegal immigration?

Can she figure out another way to phrase the exact same question? The answer is NO. Got it? Now move on. There's no reason to change what is already ILLEGAL.
He said so many things, but doesn't really seem to have any feelings about it one way or the other. I guess his children are safe. Good for him.
Were there any indications that the suspect was mentally ill at all? Anything that might’ve tipped you off? ANYTHING at all?
How about a national law against mass shootings? That would help wouldn’t it?
Ron DeSantis said in this interview that, "You see some of the homeless that are on the streets in some of these cities; that's a mental health problem, that's not a lack of housing.". The people are homeless because of mental illness? I think many of those homeless will argue that point.
Ummm yah exactly. Judging from many of his interviews, he seems to have a bit of a mental problem, yet hes not homeless 🤔
I think many of those homeless would smear their feces on you...but that's probably a gun's fault.
As a psychologist who worked for 25 years in the public sector in LA County, I can say that from our patients and from what I saw over much of LA the problem was not that these folks could not find a home. It was that almost all of them had serious addiction problems and or had obvious mental illness.
Why then do so many "homeless" turn down housing when offered and choose to remain on the street? Along with the mental illness is rampant drug addiction.
yeh the rest of them are drunks and drug addicts
Reporter: How do you feel?
DeSantis: Well, I'm wonderful and perfect. Just look at my political record, and you'll see that I work hard.
??
@@Ethanos72 he's avoiding giving a human response and instead providing a political monologue. There. I explained it, and now the joke is ruined. 😆

DeSantis was 100% correct about everything he said.
Dear Iowa parents.
Vote to secure your childrens campuses.
No laws can prevent a crime..,. Demand that your courts keep criminals and crazy people where they belong.
Horrible his reaction was literally to grandstand, could have at least given "its a terrible situation" before going on about his policies.
“Desantis declines……..”
Just like all the mainstream media are all leaving out one main thing. It’s unreal.
Making good people helpless will not make bad people harmless. ✌🏼
What about the people that don't worship a gun. I would say they're the ones that are helpless. We have a right to live in this country without being scared we're going to be mowed down by a GD gun when we go to the store! Get real! Wake up!
Exactly.
Most Chronic Homeless People are mentally ill. Most homeless people are able to obtain employment and take personal responsibility and become self sufficient productive members of society.
Desantis is so weak.

That was before all those Automatic weapons!!
There used to be militia, minutemen, regulars and mercenaries. Militia were are still are the regular people living in the country.
Ron DeSantis has the charisma of a wet blanket. His answer to the first question led him to talk about himself rather than expressing condolences to the families affected by the shooting. His response is so revealing about his character. I hope he is forced to drop out of the race after the Iowa caucus.
0:09 when you hit something in minecwaft
He didn't even try react to the shooting incident in Iowa. It never even crossed his mind (much less hit him naturally, like it would anyone else). I get that he's running for office, but I would really prefer a human being with human feelings.
Republicans take note DeSantis is how you properly pander to the NRA he deserves a round of applause for that performance ...
Vote 💙
Once again the NRA hasn’t been relevant in 20 years. The fact that you mention them tells me you watch (and believe) the media. It makes you look stupid.🤦♂️
If u watch you see how misleading the headline is
This network thinks that INTELLIGENT voters could be swayed by headlines like that!
His kids are in private school.

@@michaelduy9055 Don't forget the thoughts and prayers.
In her first sentence.
Not to get back to 50es (handling mental illness) very smart!
Oh wait wait! Let me get my “thoughts and prayers” box from my attic.
I live in Iowa and even I laughed at that. Thoughts and prayers are not going to bring back that 11 year old that was just killed. Or any of the other kids that have been blown away. So sick of hearing that thoughtless saying.
Because it is a mental health issue. Not a gun issue.
Baker Act is misused. It's used as a revenge tool. It's terrifying. My neighbors called the police on another one and said she's crazy. There was no proof and the fact that she was so upset because she wasn't crazy made it worse. 3 big male cops and one 5'3, 74 year old beanpole. The nurses told her that about 40% of the people taken in are normal, but they have to stay for 72 hrs. Imagine not being able to call your boss. She died, but it was sad.
So, having an overreaching act doesn't work. We've had it years. Useless. Oh, and it's forever on your record. Police and background checks. Ugh
Sorry I blew up your comment. 🤗
Change will not happen until these politicians are personally affected by such tragedies. It shouldn't be this way.
He doesn't have any sympathy for the victims. What a shameless person!
"He doesn't have any sympathy for the victims."
You don't either, as evidenced by you immediately trying to leverage their deaths into political capital for your preferred political party.
At least one of you is being honest about it.
shut up bot, you just want unarmed and easy to control citizens.
