i'm from texas, and this is 1000000%true.. we are sick of all this and as a father of 4 with 2 in elementary this is sad and scary
Exactly I’m scared for my three to go to school this year coming up. Need to change the gun rule to 23
I'm from Texas an made mistakes in my past. I have a criminal record an I can go buy an assault rifle right now! Way to easy to get 1. 23 should be the minimum age limit
You better tell people around your area to vote those pro-gun politicians out.
We need to be more aware of what’s going on. What happen to us??
Then take your kids out of public schools. Scared of a school shooting then teach your kids yourself or higher a tutor
I haven't seen anyone voice our collective anger and pain like this. Thank you so much Chris. I have watched this at least 10 times.
Watch Steve Kerr's response as well. He does a very powerful job of voicing it as well.
@@vedantbhard I saw that as well and he was very powerful. I especially liked how he told the reporters right off the bat that he was not going to answer basketball questions. You can tell he really cares.
@@kathypolias7261 His dad was assassinated so this has to be torture for him every time something like this happens
U should b ashamed of yaselves!!! True Italian
Me too he was spot on GOD BLESS him
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone speak better on this topic…that was honestly incredible, powerful and exactly what the kind of logic (simple freaking logic) the world needs
exactly! he was extremely ready to put this out.
So many actually became the voices of the regular joes. Them showing up at a NRA convention was a slap n the face
Kudos to both Molly and Stephen A. for saying "Don't be sorry." after Chris apologised for this take. They're right, he has nothing to apologise for. Everything he said was facts and was transmited beautifully.
Molly was almost in tears
Sometimes mad dog can irritate me with his takes but beyond sports this was him showing the utmost compassion and transparency behind this problem we have as a country keeping children safe AT school. Good job Chris Russo.
Yea he's basically Walmart Skip Bayless.
But i thought he wantedpeople to shut up and stick to what they do..
@@leiflynch2162 wait nope don't start thinking... That's not allowed. Angrily shout your contempt sir
He’s just pushing Disney’s leftist agenda of gun confiscation and the erasure of the second amendment in the US.
@@mambaxking6153 lol so hes the off brand like when you want dominoes pizza an end up getting digorno pizza or get red baron instead kinda thing
This is the greatest rant by a sports anchor I’ve ever seen in my life. FINALLY someone with some damned passion about making sure our kids are safe!!!
go look for the Steve Kerr rant pre game yesterday
@@EverybodyHatesChris77 thanks
@@EverybodyHatesChris77 facts
TRUE
@@EverybodyHatesChris77 he said by a sports anchor. Kerrs the coach
I’ve watched this video so many times. It’s still gut wrenching that we still have to talk about this. We need change immediately. Great take by Chris.
Same! This is very important! There are countries that are similar to us like Australia 🇦🇺 and the UK 🇬🇧 but at least one thing is that kids and parents do not have to worry about losing their life unexpectedly
I've watched this multiple times as well. Your neighbours from the north hope change will happen.
It’s ok to be emotional. That’s how change starts for people. Thank you for taking time for all of us.

Very powerful. I disagree with some of his sports takes, but I agree 100% on this take. Mass shootings only happens here and the government knows it. We're in different times now. My condolences to the family in Uvalde Tx.
It doesn't happen in switzerland and everybody got guns there
Isn’t it nice to disagree with someone and not hate them because then you can find something you agree with them on.
@@guilhermevieira6010 we're the like the only country on this planet that have this many mass shootings. Even if u include, Sudan 🇸🇩 and Ghana 🇬🇭, Isreal etc. It STILL doesn't add up to mass shootings here. Something is wrong with this picture.
@@FinalB055 I'm always down for disagreements. But only if I feel it's valid. I don't disagree just to disagree. But I'm with u..
@@dwaneasley9119 there's something wrong and is not the gun policy
Russo is exactly right. There are plenty people with mental issues in every country but this only happens here.. This problem don't go away with thoughts & prayers. We need some real reform here or we'll be going through this again very soon..
Or better security at schools or paying for teachers to carry 🤔 there's over 393 million guns in America
Mass shootings happens on my country (Brazil). Guns are restricted here. Still, we are number one in deaths by firearm in the world.
@@mr.gainzzz1900 This is what I kept thinking about yesterday. If DC is so divided on what to do about gun control, can we at least provide funding for better public school security measures, especially elementary schools? Even the smallest towns should have enough funding for security. Very sad
@@jburr2107 A lot of American schools can barely afford to give the kids lunches and you think they’ll be able to afford security at every elementary school? It ain’t happening
How to you know in 2011 in Norway 77 people were killed with bombs and firearms. Criminals break the law and universal background checks are needed.
This was incredible. I’m heartbroken for the families and community affected by this tragedy
Those innocent children didn't deserve to die!! What a powerful take speech by mad dog
@@nathantucker8489One of The Best Rants Ever by Chris Here!
LOVED 'Mad Dog' and his statements on the Uvalde tragedy. That's exactly how ALL Americans should feel about these horrible tragedies. The only part I might disagree on Russo is 'the only way we're going to get gun reform in America is with a Republican President'. Well....about that, and Russo even mentioned it himself, they had a Republican President in office from 2016-2020 and gun reform was on the table following the Parkland, Fla. shootings. And did it move anywhere? No. Because Republicans don't want gun reform. Everyone else in America does though. Anyways.....this carnage in America has to be stopped. If people in America aren't outraged after this latest horrible tragedy, it makes me wonder whether they even have feelings at all. I know people want sports shows to be more of an 'escape' from the reality of the world, but in instances such as this, reality - and tragedy - can't always be ignored or passed over. The community of Uvalde, Texas won't ever be the same after this. 😞
Respect to Chris! Folks don't have the education to truly understand his pain.
The have the education. You dont have to be a genious to understand gun laws. They choose to not care and turn to evil.
Shooting was a setup.
First off, this dude isnt educated on guns or gun laws. 1st an AR-15 is not an "assault rifle." 2nd a 15 y/o kid can not go into a gun shop and buy 3, 30 rd. Magazines (props to him on not saying clip) and 5 AR-15s. These morons are calling for laws and regs that already exist.
This generation yes.. not back years ago. These people don't know anything.
not much of a fan of Russo, but on this he's speaking straight facts.
No he isn't, he lied when he said europe doesn't have violence because they got gun control.
On God
FACTS!!!
criminals don't follow laws and we know prohibition only increases unregulated and illegal sales are you that gullible and emotionally persuaded
@@peaceandwealthseeker4504 well something has to be done because it's obvious what's being done now isn't working. I think tougher regulations would be a good way to start.
Switzerland has one of the highest gun ownership rates in the world but they rarely have these mass shootings because they have some of the strictest laws about who can acquire weapons.
Swiss gun laws are very relaxed. No Assault Weapon Bans and Magazine Limits. No barrel length limits on Rifles and Shotguns, BUT........Their Background Check System is the most advantage on Earth.
Their gun laws on average are a bit more restrictive than the US, but are comparable to them.
Which is actually pretty interesting considering how sick the Swiss society is if you really get to know it in close-up. It probably is a weird coalescence of being taught from a very early age to suppress real emotions and Swiss efficiency so that the negative effects of suppressing emotions never result in an explosive meltdown which then could manifest itself in something like a school shooting. Fortunately!
He's absolutely right, and I understand his frustration.
I wasn't expecting this take but I'm in total agreement. Forget anyone that tells people to stay on their lane. Everyone should be talking and screaming about this.
You weren’t expecting a left wing take from a company owned by Disney a notoriously left wing corporation. You need to look deeper into the source of your information.

Been listening to Russo since the 90s love how the new generation is getting to know who he is. He's always been a vocal and passionate guy that's speaks his mind. Classic Chris Russo right here.
Exactly 👍
Mad Dog Russo: brutally honest. Commendable
what a powerful speech by this guy Chris, I rewinded his speech 4 times because of his passion on this subject .
100% facts. How our scummy politicians and senators continue to make this a party issue is a joke. We are losing our children because of pettiness and petulance of our leaders. If we want change, we need to VOTE
Vote for what your teachers need to start carrying guns or home school your kids
Sheep 🐑
Lol vote? Dems have the presidency house and Senate
Nah, its not on politicians, its on your neighbors. 47% of this country has complete brain rot and don't care for americans outside of their circle.
Vote for who? Democrats? No thanks
This is one of the most powerful things I've seen on television. I've watched it 5 times and counting. I hate Mad Dog. I hate his sports takes and find him highly out of touch with today's athletes, but this is spot on. He is completely right and I applaud him for using the language needed to bring change. You have my respect Mad Dog. Love.
How can you hate russo... thats crazy hes good people.. we hate so easy around here.. my god... now u did say good things about him and thats good.. ps
@@brucefranklin1317 hate is hyperbole. I would say that I find him annoying. That would be more accurate.

I wasn't really a fan of Chris Russo before this video. But after watching this, I'm a huge fan now. A 1,000% agree with you Chris.
Same I can't believe how well put that was
Colt AR-15 deny any involvement....
Same.
Chris is a moron... Mao killed 70 Million of his own people in disarmed China. Stalin killed 30 million of his own people in disarmed Russia. Hitler killed 6 million of his own people in disarmed Germany. Pol Pot .. 2 million of his own countrymen. All of this recently .. within the last 100 years. I stagger to understand people who wish to seed the most basic human right.. self protection.. to governments who are OFTEN corrupt. Uvalde shooter could have done most of the same damage going and buying 2 machetes ... Exterior school doors were unlocked, classroom door was unlocked.. what petite female is stopping a man with a machete? Not a Chess player in the bunch.
I bet you thought he was racist 👀👀 😂😂. Because he agrees with democrats sometimes then he is okay. Can’t blame y’all for being trained that way.
Truly impassioned.
Kudos to ESPN for letting vent.
Guns do not kill people; people kill people. Statistics clearly indicate a very low crime rate at states/cities that open carry. Morality of the USA is decaying, what is the government doing about it???
Read, not vent*
Gain a ton Of respect for Chris , we share similar perspectives. Our forefathers could have never envisioned this.
I couldn't help b giggle when he said I go both ways. But Mad DOG nailed it
As a man who lived in Texas for 8 yrs, this is crazy! This has to stop!
I can't help but imagine elementary school students covering their ears, closing their eyes and huddling down just waiting for the shooting to stop [knowing that their lives are at risk]. After the shooting stops, can't help but imagine Republicans covering their ears, closing their eyes and huddling down just waiting for the outrage to stop [knowing that their office is at risk].
Copy-pasta
In this case they where locked into the room with the fricking gunman. Kids litteraly watching there classmates and teachers being gundowned one by one untill its their turn. Haunting.
But hey!!!! At least Jim Bob will have his assault rifle for when he has to fight the government.

@@MrZadir-nu7bd assault rifles are illegal sir learn the law
I dont know this guy, I never heard him speak before, dont even know who he votes for or lean politically but everything he said is 100% correct.
Me too
Listened to Russo for 20 years in New York. Never heard him be very political always thought he was either leaning left on leaning right depending on the issue more of an independent. He's making a lot of sense.
Everything what Russo said he is absolutely right. I completely agree with that.
I felt him on every word he said. Those poor kids
As an Australian, I never felt safe when I went to visit the US years ago There's probably no way I will take my children over there now until something is fixed with these gun laws. At least I feel safe when I go out here in Australia because of our gun laws.
School is a place I and other parents SHOULD feel safe sending our kids to.
See! This is so sad! The USA is a BEAUTIFUL country with so much to offer but being afraid to even travel there is becoming a real issue!
I’m Canadian who lives near the border so I’m a bit desensitized to traveling in the USA but to hear that other foreigners are nervous to travel there is genuinely sad.
As an American I don’t blame you one bit
You just want us in America to give up our guns because you did I don't think so Australia we're not going to become like you you gave up your guns we will never that's why you are where you are

Politicians need to be held accountable. Mad dog brought that heat and I agree 100 percent
Gun lobbiest, NRA, Gun manufactures, thennnn we can talk about politicians really
The media and big pharma needs to be held accountable too, ppl forget that
Much respect to First Take (ESPN) for giving Chris the platform to speak the absolute truth! I hope that our elected U.S. Reps see this & restrict the ability for a 18 year old to buy a weapon. I don't know an 18 year old who is mature or responsible enough to carry an assault weapon! I know this statement opens the door to our young military members who qualify with weapons. I can assure you those weapons are controlled. God bless the children & victims of this horrible act. TY for sharing.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE.... & WELL SAID!!
I feel this hard, thank you Russo for speaking up.

@@kevindimauro3937 how is factual information, actual statistics sheep mentality? super interested in hearing your take
@@dlmoneysign you’re asking the government to protect you, like how a shepherd protects its sheep. If you knew anything about human history, you’d understand that governments could care less about your security or safety. Also, being a second amendment supporter has nothing to do with being an incel. I love women and I just want to protect them. Allowing the citizens to freely own guns protects them against government tyranny.
Mao Zedong, the Chinese communist revolutionary used firearms to create compliance amongst the population. He famously stated, “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”.
By asking for stricter and more rigorous gun laws, you are revealing your capacity to surrender your liberty for security. As
Thomas Jefferson once said, “A society that sacrifices a liberty for a little security, deserves neither and will lose both”.
What a powerful message by the mad dog. Much respect!
For the 1st time in a long time i absolutely agree wif every single thing an anchor has said in a segment. Get rid of these killing machines
Chris Russo is a legend. This is his time not living in Mike Francesa's shadow. On a big sports show he shining and proving that he also carried the Mike and a mad dog show also... Salute Chris Russo
i never paid much attention to Chris Russo but I am definitely going to be paying more attention to him now. I love seeing people like him & Kerr getting mad because that's what is needed. Just talking or "praying" etc isn't doing anything. Until we all get mad nothing will happen, and seeing people we respect like them getting mad is a great way to help others get pissed as well.
"Shut up and play".

Yeah, arm teachers and get rid of public education. Something we've said since the 60's

Love this man's compassion. He's telling absolute facts. There needs to be a change.
Not facts .
He’s actually not speaking any facts. This is all emotion. That’s what the left does.
hes not telling any facts
The politicians won’t do anything until it happens to their own kids at their own schools. So sad :( I agree with everything he said. Politicians don’t care about our kids or their voters. They just want power and donations to keep with power. Makes me sick and sad to hear this 😢
Thank you
They won't do anything unless they feel they'll lose their positions of power.
YEAH BECAUSE THEY SHOULD JUST SNAP THEIR FINGERS AND DELETE ALL GUNS. Jesus Christ you people are TRULY stupid
What do you want them to do exactly? They are enemies to the american ppl. They don't care at all for the lives lost but rather scheming on how exploit this crisis to push their gun grab agenda.
So the power hungry politicians want the people to have more power by being able to be armed. Donations? you might want to check on how much money is being donated and from who. The ignorance is showing
I completely agree with Russo about everything he has pointed out about what the kid did. The teenager had no access for firearms agreed the politicians should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happened.
AR15 isn't an assault rifle and there is no such thing as an "assault weapon".

@@wock4626 how many more would he have killed? Drunk drivers kill more ppl than gun violence but we don't outlaw beer. Matter of fact we just spent 40 billion on defense for Ukraine..what do u think that was spent on?.

Do you think this magically stops happening if we ban guns? Criminals don't care about the law. Banning guns would only take from law abiding citizens.

Forget him calling it the NAR. Forget him saying he goes both ways. This was one of Mad Dog's finest hours. On point!
This is on par with Doggie ripping Pacman Jones years ago.
What’s wrong with going both ways? Americans are so obsessed with bi-partisanship and there always having to be a only 2 big parties at once. If anything he’s in the right, you should always vote for the best man and the best politician, no matter their affiliation.
@@wostep yes I do, I don’t believe in political parties, I vote for the politicians him/her self. I vote for the person who I believe wants to in power to help our country and has the country’s best interests in their heart.
@@triplexhd3910 I think they are referring to the fact that the term going both ways usually means someone likes both men and women.

This is hitting me hard because I proudly serve my country every day in uniform and this tough but I wake up every day even when I fail but I pick myself up to succeed . But our leaders need to step up and do something and not fail us. We can’t afford to for this to happen again I’m tired of it.

I always found it weird that you can't take a drink at 18 in the US but you can buy a gun. There has been other countries in the last couple of decades who has had mass shootings but shortly afterwards passed bills to prevent such events from happening again. Why not use that as a frame work? I find it a missed opportunity not to learn from what other countries are doing.
Here in Australia, yes drink no guns 😁
Like Brazil who has strict gun laws and they have rampant gun violence? 🤪

@@jacobbryan2509 if you want better for your kids and grandkids then uphold the second amendment with your life. The digital revolution and great reset will be a turning point in democracies in the west. The 2nd amendment is the only thing that can protect you against government overreach.
At the end of the day, guns don’t kill people, it is the brain behind the gun that kills people, and brains change all the time depending on life circumstances. Raising the minimum age of gun ownership could be a solution. Passing mental health exams is useless because people could just lie about their mental state and these exams would have to be continuous because as stated before, mental health is never constant, especially in the modern day.
Another solution could be more security in schools. Hiring retired veterans, ex cops, or current police officers to guard the school property.
Another solution, though highly controversial, is to allow guns to be locked away in class rooms, but only accessible during situations like these. For example, a security guard or principal could push a button during a code red that could give teachers the ability to unlock the safe using a password, so that another student can’t rush the safe and take the gun without the teacher actually opening it first. This would also prevents angry teachers from accessing the gun and using it malevolently or irresponsibly.
Idk man, all I know is, the more gun control becomes normalized and accepted, the less power the people will have over an increasingly powerful, secretive, and unpredictable government. All mass shootings are tragedies, but we shouldn’t take away everyone’s rights for the treacherous behaviour of the few. The whole reason for the second amendment is so everyone can participate in a rebellion should it be necessary.
@@jacobbryan2509 how about we use the billions that we funded Ukraine with and have a special ops with a gun roaming every single school? Gun laws don’t work. I can show you numerous states that have stricter laws than Texas and these things still happen.
Thank you!!! Don't stop talking about it! Respect!!!
I love to listen to this dude 🙏🏾
Mad dog speaking facts. Love ya'll calling this out, keep on the pressure so we can actually have change.
Nah taking guns from law abiding citizens isn’t the solution it’s the 2nd amendment the right to bear arms they’re way more illegal guns n drugs coming from Mexico they’re bought off the black market most murders are committed by hand guns
Guns don’t kill people,People kill people
yep and well just end up like London where youre more likely to get attacked with a knife and get acid thrown in your face without the ability and law to defend ourselves
No he isn't, he lied, gun control doesn't lead to peace, he used a fallacy to insinuate that it's true.
False flag Uvalde. No bodies, kids missing, just like sandy hook
Whats even scarier is how numb we all are to it. As an American it's sad to say I'm not surprised and unfortunately won't be the last until change is made.
Stay safe
shouldn't be numb. You can't feel this won't happen to your child's school. It further brings the point, nobody's kid is safe, it's happening a lot and can happen at any school. It's scary. Enough is enough
@@miamiman24 Yeah we should make sure that no gun free zones exist and make sure every responsible gun owner has access to a gun.
I really couldn't watch the news about it but when I picked my son up from school 2day & I saw the innocent smiles smfh it hit me then I got every mix of emotions
I’m not I’m shocked I’ve sobbed I’ve been shaking I can’t believe it I’m literally ready to leave the US I’m so scared I just idk I can’t believe it I physically get sick
@@Meimei-os2nk Jesus Christ dude your “almost crying?” Go organize idiot. The cops didn’t do anything for an hour. That’s 💯 on anyone who voted for a Republican outside of…5? I think. Or the idiot neo-cons who kept harping on “BuT ThE lEfT SaY dEfUnD ThE PoLiCe!” Yeah… I wonder tf why. They did nothing for an hour. This is more shameful than Columbine but, let’s not politicize it right?
I’ve been listening to Mad Dog since the early 90s on WFAN. This was his best rant ever. He’s 100% correct here. Something has to be done. Columbine, Parkland, Sandy Hook, Uvalde, The Dark Knight Rises midnight showing, Orlando night club, Synagogue in Pittsburgh, NYC Subway shooting, Hospital in Tulsa, when does it end??
50 ppl shot over Memorial Day weekend in Chicago! It’s enough!
Man, he is spot on!!!
He is finally right on sth; in Europe we don't have it. We have gun laws! Guns should NOT be open to the public! Wake up US, ffs!
Wrong, switzerland doesn't have guns laws and is safer that every other european country that does.
The GOP is scared to upset the NRA.
🤡
Bleat for me, sheep.
@@deadordreadfist343 lmao fr
We have to come together and stop letting politicians divide us . We’re so much more powerful United . I’m done arguing politics . I’m not a democrat or a republican , I’m an American . We’re starting to forget that
100%
One of The Best Rants Bar None Ever From a Sports Personality Way To Go Chris!
America need more people like you sir.
Respect to mad dog. I could tell he was getting very emotional and I’ve never seen that side of him before. There is an obvious problem in this country and even pro gun people need to look back and start finding solutions. We can’t be tied to an amendment that was written ages ago.
I think you mistook his difficulty keeping up with the words on the teleprompter for him getting emotional.
My condolences to all families from Buffalo to Texas to California and anybody who is connected to these horrifying acts of evil.
The condolences is good, it’s doesn’t cut it. Let’s take action to stop this gun violence epidemic by protesting in the work place door steps of this heartless congress, senator, lobbyists with nation wide protest . Like it happened for George Floyd a terrible tragedy. People we’re losing innocent children and adults to a senseless gun violences.
My friend and his family have lived in uvalde for years. They recently emailed me about charitable help in the area to the families affected. It's a s*** sandwich no matter how you look at it.
This is a failure of government at every level. If they had allowed even one or two teachers to pack heat, it would have even the odds. If the teacher who had died on top of the two children getting shot through the desk, had a gun herself and fired back at that coward, he may have been too wounded to continue killing. I'm arguing it may have saved about 15 or 20 out of the 21 lives.
I've heard the argument that trained staff having guns in a room can escalate a situation. But it's really hard to say that in this case. 21 dead and no police response, that's a failure of government.
But I know who didn't fail. Those two dead teachers did not fail. And if they'd been allowed to have a Fighting Chance, that lunatic would have died far sooner
@@TonyTone1 you know it's not addressed and all of this? The amount of stabbing deaths and violent crime in Great Britain. Great Britain banned guns Nationwide. The murder rates are greater than the United States. You can't get your hands on the gun in Great Britain, but you can get your hands on bombs, gas, electric devices, grenades illegally.
You know that Timothy McVeigh killed about 200 people in Oklahoma without the use of a single gun. Bill Ayers bombed the Pentagon without the use of a single firearm. Evil people are going to find a way to do evil stuff man, just give the guns to everybody to give the rest of us a fighting chance to take these lunatics out while the police are busy getting there to clean up the bodies
Now inTulsa Oklahoma. Smh 🌹
The part about this is happening way more in the U.S. then any other country is the key.
Love this guy for this!
This needed to be said. Everything he said is true.
Yea you all believe your television! Do more critical thinking!
If you’re going to give someone credit, give it to the writers who put that weak speech together for him to read.
@@abbygabriel2891 So whats your take on this situation?
Everything he said 💯 FACTS!!
And the darn thing is it’s hard for those politicians to change the constitution. They don’t want to lose their big fat paycheck. I agree with what Steve Kerr and Chris said.
Had a Black eightteen year old kid tried to buy Two A R 15 Assault Rifles and Hundreds of Rounds of ammunition would he have been Allowed to purchase those items even though he was within the Law of buying them . The answer to that question Speaks for its self .
Love you guys for speaking on this the way you have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn’t have said it any better. Russo is spot on.Never would happen in Canada. It will only happen again, and again and again. Schools, stadiums, malls, communities are supposed to be “safe and orderly” environments. Period!
Then you have Ted Cruz immediately dismissing any suggestions about how to probably fix or regulate this. There are a lot of Ted Cruz out there and that's why this issue will never be resolved.
Chris is not the dumbest person. Appreciate him having some common sense
This guy has the correct message with the style / delivery of the blue collar right. We need more guys like this to penetrate the defensive earmuffs that many on the right have been duped into donning.
Guns are forbidden in Europe and we rarely have mass shootings
Not true clown
@@no-brainerstudymusic very true, asshat
@@no-brainerstudymusic you are living in europe for say that ?
Yeah ya’ll just stab people
@@no-brainerstudymusic defend yourself?
Guy is usually wrong about everything sports related but this is so powerful and he spoke nothing but facts! Everything is a political game and these politicians on both sides are cowards
Actually Russo isn't usually wrong wrong about sports. You just disagree with his perception 👍
Good for you!!! Right on on!
The sad thing is, watching this from the other side of the world, is that we already know that nothing will change. Nothing.
Thank you Russo for your voice on this issue
