Zak Varley Neither do I. I understand Americans want their freedom and all that, but I don’t understand why owning a gun means so much to them, even to the point where they endanger others for the sake of having one.
Mysterious Muffin I know, Americans have more gun shops than McDonald’s, supermarkets and Starbucks put together!! And they think they’re in danger from terrorists but they’re twice more likely to be killed by toddlers apparently!!
@@matsjames3626 You can't just delete guns from existence. Even if all forms of firearm were made totally illegal, criminals would still obtain them through illegal methods. It's better that law-abiding people have them, for when armed criminals inevitably attempt to harm people.
Ethan Obrien different circumstance the foundation of america is based on a gun right and there are more guns than people. what other huge country has that same situation?
Bob Reavaer So when should they take action? In a few decades when the memories have faded away a little? Next month, after the government has done he whole “it’s not time to talk about it, let’s put it behind us” bullshit? How dare you suggest that these teenagers shouldn’t be raising their voices just because they may still be grieving, just because they are young? Maybe they aren’t perfectly educated in gun laws, but it doesn’t take an expert to know that the way things are right now needs to change and that no child or human being should have to look down the barrel of a gun and fear for their lives while they are simply trying to get an education, enjoy an event, walk down the street, or just live their life. There’s nothing unethical about “using” the kids in this segment. They put their faces out in the world knowing perfectly well what they were doing. And maybe they ARE still emotional, but they’ve made the decision to use that emotion in a positive and powerful way, telling the people who are supposed to be protecting us from this shit that they’re doing a really bad job. I think it’s admirable and brave, and I hope you can come see them in a better light as well.
No, people should do none of that. All people need to do is tell their employees (the government) to fix this shit. That's literally all the people need to do, just walk out into the street and say "Look, I don't care whether guns or mental health issues are the problem, just fix this shit because this is not how it's supposed to be. Something is very wrong, fix it!" I'm absolutely baffled by the fact that Americans aren't out in the streets in droves to demand change, because you absolutely need it. Edit: No one is using those kids, they put themselves out there. They are the only ones doing the sensinle thing EVERYONE of you should be doing; demand change. James and many others are just giving them a platform.
Bob Reavaer there is only one reaction that is appropriate and needed at this point and it’s for Americans to stop value their guns over the lives of the children of their country... I’m not saying ban all guns that would never work but the UK has a great system that seems to work pretty well.
@Bob Reavaer: who in your opinion should talk about what happen, the people that where there and experienced that reality or the people that get paid by the NRA (that makes a lot of money selling these Guns)? Always come up the point of the freedom do have guns and the 2nd amendment, but what is with the freedom to live that got these children taken away? what is more important the freedom to live or the freedom to end a children's life? Also as the 2nd amendment was written these guns where not around. the 2nd amendment was written with gun like muskets, but not high power rifles than kills you instantly if you get hit by only 1 bullet of it. These gun are war weapon and do not belong in the hand of a civil person. And what give you the right to say that the children are not allowed to express their opinion about what happen to them? Where you there? Do you know what it means to fear for your live at a teenager in a school? I do not know why you think the way you do, please explain it.
There's one big difference. Japan has let their people own guns for 200 years. There's not that many of them in Japan. So they can control it. America has opened the flood gates for the last 200 years. So laws like that would make zero difference in the US.
I was going to say the same thing Thomas. I got way too many criminals in my neighborhood that have them. How do we get a handle on them first? I'm open to go to a class every year or 3 to get a license. Just what do we do for the bullshit that already happened for so long.
foxhound13 guess what no matter what laws pass criminals will still have them. Criminals are criminals because they don't obey any laws. Our justice system is way out of order letting these criminals out on parole way too early especially for violent crimes. Were going to have to change our justice system and good people everyday carrying firearms to protect themselves.
Thomas Carpenter we used to own slaves. Slaves were part of culture. People fought to keep slaves until it was realised that it was inhumane. Every rational people can make the connection between guns and mass shootings. Don’t cite population because India has a far larger population than the USA and they have far less mass shootings than the USA. Tradition doesn’t matter. A child’s right to go to school, a person’s right to go to church, a young man’s right to go to a club without the fear of dying from a gunman is far more important than tradition or a right to bear arms. Simple
I am not an American citizen, but I am sad to say that when I saw the news about what happened in Florida, I was not surprised. I hate to say it, but I saw the headline for the story and thought nothing of it. Yes, I was heartbroken that more children were killed in a place where they should never fear for their own life. But when I saw the headline all I could think was "just a regular day in America". It has gotten to the point for me where I recognize mass shootings in America like this as a normal thing... Almost like it is a trend. It should never be that way. I firmly believe that nothing will change. If the gun laws didn't change after Columbine or Sandy Hook, then they will never change. I am from Vancouver, in Canada, and I can tell you that I am not the only person who feels this way. The news about what happened in Parkland was the talk of my high school. We had debates in classes about what we think should happen next. CANADIAN TEENAGERS care more about the well being and safety of American children then their own country does. America, please get your head out of you ass. Sort our your priorities. Enough children have been slaughtered. How many more have to die before you do something about this? EDIT: I also think that it is stupid that American's think that James and Trevor Noah do not deserve to give their opinions on these tragic mass shootings just because they are not American themselves. I think that James and Trevor and myself, being foreigners, have every right to speak up. Foreigners speaking up about your screwed up system should be a MASSIVE SIGN that you really have a problem. If people like myself take the time our of their day to express their anger and concern over the gun laws in America, then the problem is extremely serious. Us foreigners care. We do. We do not want to sit idly when we know that our voicing our opinions may do something. I refuse to be a bystander.
Sadly I did the same thing as you. I actually scrolled past the news on my phone the first day as it was just more of the same news form America. It is a really sad state to be in.
Same here, I'm from Sweden and it obviously broke my heart that innocent children were hurt and lost their lives but I wasn't even slightly surprised. It's more surprising nowadays when a week passes without a mass shooting....
Fanny I want to move to your country it's beautiful ! I don't feel safe in America at all, and just the thought of raising a family here is horrible I would never trust they are safe here.
Well, dont go to Sweden then. That country is already overrun by muslim immigrants in ghettos in cities where even the police is afraid to go in. Sure you can go to the country side, but then you can better stay in the USA and move there to the country side.
Ya it seems if you feel that way, ppl here just call you stupid! It’s such a adult conversation, I mean for the ppl that don’t have to call names to state how they feel
@Viktor Birkeland mass shootings are bad, but I would not think about taking away someone else's right to defend themselves. That's just wrong. The issue shouldn't be banning guns, it should be helping the mentally unstable people who are doing these shootings
Jenny Purcell government is man made and it changes all the time because of people. For better or worse. One should not put so much faith in something that is ever so changing like government because one day the laws are working for you. And next with a swipe of a pen. Terms are changed and now your on the receiving end of the law. The constitution is not man made laws. They are rights hence being called the bill of rights. Which an individual regardless of man made laws can practice or use. For example everyone has the right to speak their mind and voice their opinions. Hence the right to free speech. This constitution makes sure the government has no power over an individual when it comes to voicing their opinion. If the government limited what can be said or what people can say about politicians or the leader of our country. That would a violation of the individual's right. For guns it's simple. We the people. Mostly able body men and women of 18+ years old. Are the militia. A militias responsibility is to be the minutemen when a crisis occurs like terrorist or tyrannical government foreign and domestic, to protect and fight back in a minutes notice. That's what going to range and practicing shooting weapons of different types is at its core. Even buying and keeping guns is part of arming ourselves as a militia to ensure the freedom and protection of future generations. Then passing down the responsibility to our kids so they don't have to relia on others like the government. If the government limited what can be bought then it makes it harder to defend ourselves from over powering governments and no government like that will give back the people's right. That's why once you lose a right. It's gone forever.
Forge of the Dragon it also enables mass shootings, as James said we(UK) haven't had a mass shooting for 22 years, we have freedom of speech too, you can do both, your constitution was drawn up by man, a looooong time ago, times change, so should laws.
T U R K - 1 8 2 . Owning guns is a civil right. Should we have tests to exercise our 1st amendment rights too? How about poll taxes and literacy tests to vote? And also guns ARE highly regulated already. If you had purchased one legally you would know that.
T U R K - 1 8 2: it sounds like youare like the rest of ignorant 99% of the US, military soldiers take qualification courses as many as twice per year during the whole of their careers, (my case, 20 years) but you rarely see one involved in a mass shooting
If gun control infringes on 'liberty', what does being shot and killed infringe on? Doesn't the word 'life' precede the word 'liberty' in the declaration of independence?
You know liberty means ability right? So how is it fair for 1 person to have the 'ability' to deprive anybody of life when they are having a bad day? Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, ?
It's not complicated: having the ability to deprive someone of life or liberty is not the same thing as actually depriving someone of life or liberty. The latter can justify locking a human in a cage, the former does not. If you want to advocate locking humans in cages for merely having the "ability" to commit a violent crime, at least have the balls to say so instead of pretending to be so confused.
@ Alan, Ability as in Freedom to do so... Not ability as in physical ability or otherwise. In other words, you have the right to life and liberty/pursuit of happiness. However so do I, so if I claim my right to 'liberty/ability' allows me to buy an AR-15 and walk into a public space and shoot everybody it creates a paradox doesn't it? Why don't they sell hand grenades or RPG's? What if I want to go fishing using a grenade? Or hunting using an RPG? Why deny me the ability to do those things?
@Fatnorth, That's insane though. The 'A' in AR-15 stands for assault. Which is the opposite of defend/protect. That is the core of the issue. Having an M240 Bravo, a weapon designed to suppress enemy fire by laying down a wall of led in the name of home security is crazy talk. Much less the fact that having such a weapon on the streets of our country for civilian use has no realistic purpose. Same for hand grenades and anti-tank weapon systems etc. Who on earth has such threats on their life that would justify or require such weapons as a means of defense?
The military trains you in the use of such weapons for the direct purpose of using them in defense of the country. The government tyranny angle doesn't hold much water in my opinion. I don't think that our military made up of volunteers would suddenly take up arms against the population, or that if it did, owning a weapon used in the military would save anybody if they did. If you're in a house with a machine gun trying to fend of the government, a drone would just drop a guided missile into the living room.
@@coreywold669 We're trying to be helpful. You seem to be helpless in realising your politicians are puppets to big business, in this case the arms industry and NRA.

If you really want freedom, change the lobbying laws.
Flore Pensaert Racism is an emotion or a personal feeling. It will always exist, like love and hate. And in fact on an evolutionary level, some racism is beneficial..
@@jammo6645 How about you ask me to explain before you rule it out? The white man got to America. I don't know how the white man was received by the native. But it would have been a good thing if the native had learned to fear and hate whites a bit more. Think about it, merely coming in contact with the white man killed millions of natives infected with the cold virus, small pucks, and other viruses the natives where not equipped to fight against. There are also countless examples of one race moving into an other race to enslave it, all throughout history. When the Africans boarded the shores of India, or when the westerners boarded the shores of Africa, it would have been a good idea not to deal with those who intend to enslave them. Man is a tribal animal that seeks to gather up with others who look them himself. There is a good evolutionary reason for that. Besides, if you look at all the multi-cultural places on the planet, those places are almost always the most violent places you can be at. I am white. I don't think that Asians, blacks, or Muslims are innerently bad, or anything of the sort. But I do think that not only good things can come out of trying to mix different cultures, different values, and religions into the same place.
@@jammo6645 Okay. I don't think that my westerner values are any better or worst than other set of values from Africa, Asia, or the ME. But we all have different sets of values. And when you mix up different people with difderent values, friction almost always occurs. The westerners are disgusted with the way Islam treats women. That might work for them, but not so well in the western world. The Muslims are also disgusted with the west oversexualuzation of everything. That might work for the west, but not so much with the Muslims. Trying to fuse those diverging values can only create friction and violence. An old saying says that when in Rome, act like Romans. But unfortunately, we are told that such a simple saying is now racist and intolerable.
Danielys Muñoz actions won't happen without words first. Enough people need to speak up so they are finally heard so that actions will finally be taken.
yana schmiedel we have been speaking up, that's why we still have our second amendment. We need armed security, obviously... Did everyone see how relieved the kids were when the police got to their classroom? Why were they relieved? Go on, I'll wait...
Sharon Murphy lol. They’re relieved because police means that they’re save, there’s is no one who can hurt them. This school actually had an armed Secruityman, but what can one man do against an automatic gun? You can’t stop guns with guns, that would just cost more lives but you can safe lives with no guns. You Americans can still have your second amendment, but you need to control your gun sales. Just do it like Japan, maybe not that strict but if you’re able to pass these test there and follow the rules there would be less shootings. It’s not that you ban alle the guns you more ban the people on buying guns who shouldn’t have guns in the first place
Did you hear about the most recent school shooting, an armed resource officer shot the attacker, but not before he killed an innocent girl. They will never prevent lives from being taken away.
@@Dero_milsurp Sigh. Look up the range of freedom indices, the US leads NONE, several nations outrank the US in ALL, several more in most of them. As for more 'security', EVERY 1st world nation has a lower homicide rate. ALL of them. You'll misrepresent what I said in plain English any time now, like in the other thread 😂
Loz Girl well I moved to america and that was the best thing I ever did in my life! Funny enough never got shot yet and own guns as well. U do relies that these shootings happen in gun free zones. U never hear armed schools getting shot up?
Loz Girl I'm proud to be American where I have the right to self preservation instead of waiting for police to arrive in 5 minutes when the murderer has already killed me
Generation Z so you have permission to carry a firearm in public or can get to a your safe to get hold of you gun when startled in the night. I think anyone intentionally wants to murder you they would do it without you even knowing. I’m proud to be British, where I don’t have to worry about carrying a weapon incase someone wants murder me on the street because our murder rate per capita is 4 times lower. Where my children can go to school without fearing for their lives. Where gun companies don’t get rich on playing on the fear of the public where actually statistics and data show the presence of guns in society is more dangerous than the absence of them.
summercherry123 You need to think before typing, the message James gave out is total nonsense, the chart he gave out, no proof, no analysis. The proof of other countries, well, they're smaller, less people, less immigrants, less criminals, less needs of a gun, crimes are committed by criminals, not object, obviously James and Hollywood phonys never think about what would happened if guns aren't allowed, robbery, revenge killing, murder could be committed without any significant defense, freedom also includes free to defense.
Mark Armage You have to think long-term not short-term. All of these side-effects of anti-gun law that you listed will decrease eventually, let's say if gun control runs efficiently. The problem now is that crazy people are able to get deadly weapons like assault rifles easily in USA. School shootings have already become a normal thing in USA. Stricter gun control will make these nutjobs harder to get guns, which definitely decreases school massacre/fatalities.
MC Roy though i agree getting weapons in general out of the hands of nutjobs. But the evidence that someone is a nut job is scarce. Plus 2.5 million a year have used guns in self defense and 91 percent of the time the gun was never fired a single bullet. Now there is no such thing as an assault rifle. It's just a rifle that has a semi auto function. Which the vast majority of guns on the market are semi auto. You say that overtime side effects would just go away well that is actually very incorrect. UK was just been doing lots of gun control for decades now is actually considered the third most violent country within the UN. Yes the UK does not have as much gun related crime but the UK is also a very much smaller country than America because America is the third largest country in the world and the fact that UK after implementing so many gun control regulations still have around 16 million illegally possessed guns. Plus the fact that the UK has even had such trouble with knife crimes that they ban knives from being carried in public and even banned many different types of knives. Even a UK University study has proven with the statistics from both the UK and America that the UK is a much more violent place in America because criminals are still out there committing crimes on a daily basis even more so than they ever did after gun control.
For humanity and this planet to survive in the long run, we need to get rid of conservatism in any shape or form. This regressive thinking has separated people for decades if not centuries and will be responsible for our planet dying in about 200 years if we don't abolish conservatism.
I am so, so amazed by those kids. They are taking a stand and fighting for their safety, and they damn well should. No more kids should be unnecessarily killed for things to start to change.
The Guitar Progress Channel The second Amendment was all well and good, until time happened. Today’s guns resemble muskets not even slightly. I’m all in favor of fully repealing it, treat it like the prohibition amendment.
Sir Librarian do you really think that the founding fathers were stupid enough to think weapons wouldn't evolve? It was not written for muskets only. Btw You didn't answer my question. I would really like to know why you think the founding fathers wrote the 2nd amendment.
To paraphrase Jim Jeffereys: if Americans tell foreigners not to express opinions about American culture, then how come Americans don't exercise the same restraint when talking trash about other countries?
I'm glad that you took time out of the show to speak up. i feel that if you have children who go to school in the u.s you have the right to speak up. it doesnt matter if you're foreign or not. if you live here say something. you have this huge platform please use it. hugs
Think, pal. Why is it relevant, your kids are human, too. They face the same risk as a normal living individual. If there's a truck that ran into a school, parents can't ban trucks.
You can't ban trucks but you can make it harder for that to happen again. If that was a valid argument people would be able to drink and drive just fine , because why make laws that make bad things harder ? Just liberate everything then . I don't see a lot of people saying they want to ban all guns, they want to ban some types of guns , make it harder for people to be able to purchase guns and better mental health care. I don't believe it should be banned but that it should be harder to get.
I agree just because me and my family can from a different country doesn’t mean we can’t speak or it’s okay for us to let others or even ourselves experience what those kids in Florida went through or all of the other school shootings. People used to talk about how immigrants cause all of the problems, I think it is pretty clear that it is not race or culture issue. Our nation is dividing and that can’t happen. If the government could do their job of speaking for the people and make changes so the people could live. People have to understand that it’s not all going to be fast, however there has to be change quick!
It makes me sad and mad because at my school there was a shooting and no one talked about it and to make change happen alot more people had to get hurt just to heard. It's just not right.
this is maybe one of the sadest thing about gun shooting in America - it has to be a big "event" becuase the smalls ones are just "regular" (I should add that I'm not from the U.S)
"Safe" lol Coronavirus and impending looming economic collapse that will cause famine and more deaths than all mass shooting put together disagrees with you.
@@Matt-uz9ee Rather die because of a disease than a mass shooting. Epidemics do not happen for every mass shooting. Epidemics are not as common as mass shootings. Have you not learned about the great depression? We will come back from that.

Because it does not matter whether you believe guns or anything else is at fault here, demand change, because something is absolutely wrong with your country. This is not normal.
@ You're oblivious to the point i was trying to get across... We can pronounce H's just fine but you see America is alot bigger than the UK. You're roughly the size of Florida(a bit bigger) we have so many different dialects that if you take a man from southern Louisiana with that french cajon accent and have him talk with a guy from say Michigan, they will have a pretty tough time understanding eachother. However they still do.. Just because they speak in different dialects, it's still the same language. Also notice how I'm keeping this civil, something i would expect from a Brit but i guess my expectations were too high...

I really despise when someone tells another person that they need to go back from they came from. When back then if it wasn't for the English people back then killing Indians, using them as slaves. America wasn't a white people place. We have all these white people who claim they are American. BUT YET your ancestor was the reason why you were born in America. Why is United States even called United? If no one in this country is united. Especially with the damn immature president that we have.
He may not be American but he lives there and his kids go to school there, so he has the right to speak about this... Now we're saying that the non American kids that were involved in this mass shootings can't say anything about it? It's their life for God's sake

Gun laws can fucking protect people it would’ve protected those 17 kids, it would’ve protected those 50+ victims of the Vegas shootings and it would’ve protected many more.

Matto niy me too, it breaks my heart every single time I read the same story over and over and over again every few months. It’s not even a surprise anymore. When the Manchester attack took place last year, it shook me to the core. The whole country was in mourning. Imagine that kind of thing happening weekly? And our government doing NOTHING because they’re essentially bribed?
free speech is no more fascism is alive and well 2 hmm, well I’m definitely not on drugs unless you count the 2 migraleve I took yesterday and I suppose I’m not sure about stupidity, I’ll let you judge me by my comment. In fact yes, bombs are illegal. But that’s not the point. I was referring to the comment above implying that the more often something happens, they become numb to it. I’ll explain, if there is a mass shooting every day/every other week, it’s much more commonplace. In Manchester, 20+ people died and it was the worst murder for many many years. Perhaps it was wrong of me to compare the two events. I was just having a conversation with Matto niy.
I'm not American but I am a gun owner. In my country in the last 25 years we more than quadrupled our gun ownership rate. And during that same time, the murder rate, and crime rate dropped by 40%. I'm not saying that the guns are causing the drop in crime and murder. Unlike most here, I understand that correlation and causation are two different things. But if guns cause crime and murder, why are we seeing the opposite? Same thing in the USA.They more than doubled their gun ownership rate in the last 25 years. The number of carry permits almost quadrupled starting at 3.5 million in 2008 to 13.5 million in 2015. Yet the US crime rate and murder rate have dropped more than 50% in the same 25 years. If guns cause crime, why are we seeing the reverse happening in Canada and the USA?
The Turkey Talker Duh! Murder is illegal. We just need to make murder with a gun even more illegal. And of course if we make guns illegal, killers will have more trouble getting a gun. Look at how well it worked with drug laws making it harder for drug dealers to......hmmmm. ...never mind.
I can't be a hater because I have no idea who the guy is. So I have to focus strictly on what he says. And I don't like the bullshit that spews out of that guy.
Onboard Basil In the USA rifles are involved in less than 1% of the homicides. And by rifles, I mean both the scary assault ones and the not so scary ones combined. If you want to look strictly at the scary assault rifles, the statistic would be even lower. The overwhelming majority of gun homicides are done with a handgun or sawed off shotgun. Rifles are just too bulky and too hard to conceal. It is pretty interesting when you consider that the AR-15 is what you would describe as a scary black large caliber millitary assault rifle. It's also the most popular and iconic gun in the USA. Every gun owner I know owns at least one AR-15. Yet it is involved in less than 1% of all the homicides. So why are you so concerned with assault rifles? Because they look scary?
@Cha cha real smooth people die from shootings every second that's a damn lie and matter of facr people are starting to shoot people for no reason or because its fun and they just hate the person and its not self defense at all
@Cha cha real smooth so why do they have guns at all? When someone is mentally ill they shouldn't be able to get a gun because they are (often) not able to control themselves. These "accidents" should never happen in a country like the USA
I am not an American Citizen...but i was on vacation in San Diego and for one weekend in Vegas shoortly before the shooting...i saw all this happy People in their country boots and in this time i was a bit jealous that we didn't had the time to go there too. We left Vegas a few hours before it happend to go back to San Diego. When i woke up in the morning i had a lot of messages of my family and friends on my phone. I didn't knew what happend so i looked at the news and i remember how shooked i was...and still be. I thought about all the people I saw in Vegas who went to the festival who are dead or hurt, and about their familys. I was not a victim and i never saw a gun in america, but since that day i didn't felt that save anymore. But I went back to Germany. You have to live with that all day. America is a amazing country and hopefully you create a future for your country were your children can feel save.
Im from The Bronx, my parents are dominican and took me to DR for schooling solely because of the bullying here. Now bullying has turn into massacres. This is unthinkable and unimaginable in DR. This is sadly part of American culture and new generations grow with this type of environment that only keeps feeding itself
Jamaica! One of the highest homicide rates from guns in the world! Over 30 deaths from gun homicide per 100,000 people. US has less than 12 school shootings a year on average from the year 2000, out of a population of 330,000,000. Our homicide rate form guns is around 3. Versus Jamaica's 30 and its extremely strict gun laws. All these guys keep using the same chart and skewing the staistics. Please inform yourself without political blinders on.
Authenticity. you say less than 12 school shootings a year as if it is not a bad thing. Any school shooting is a bad any life lost through any weaponry is a bad surely? In the UK we had one school shooting and we dealt with and have had none since. Yes we still have crime as do all countries and it is not perfect here. But this is proof that if you restrict access to a weapon then you reduce the deaths performed by it.
Rookie Ranger. That is one of the most stupid things i have ever heard. I am still laughing. Any life is precious. Except to those who love their guns so much that life is not important.
Lizzy Grant except for when they wanted to take over the world. Except then... Well, I guess it wasn't safe for everyone else. But, hey, they were fine, unless they were forced to be kamikaze pilots.
@@lordfoxgamingyt5579 Germany wanted to disarm jews in germany and that was before hitler was in power. And the french resistance was armed by the military because the germans had a stronger military. Look at now though a bunch of shooting we need to ban military style weapons we dont need that for self defense handguns are good enough.
@@lordfoxgamingyt5579 look the government is not going to take us over. So you would rather have mass shooting every year because you dont want to ban military style weapons because the government is going to take us over. The u.s. would collapse if it took us over who would fight for it? What you said is just silly.
@@lordfoxgamingyt5579 First of all, why would the US government want to take over America even though they already manage the country. Second of all, why would you need a gun if the government is managed and challenged when needed and the president can get voted out if he does not run for the people. Evolution is the reason why we as humans no longer need to climb trees and avoid predators, it's the reason we no longer feel as big of a thirst for conquest and the reason why we learn from out mistakes. The rest of the world is laughing at people like you all over america and can't wrap our head around your conspiracies and why so many Americans believe they will be attacked. First it was terrorists and now that you can no longer use that excuse you have to rely on conspiracies. Just stop and think about the real reason you want guns and just accept that it's not a good reason. It's time to put away your guns and stop the deaths of innocent children.
DeeGoo Designs It figures that people would twist it around. James said "friends and family" meaning people that KNOW the person wanting a gun, NOT a neighbor which is more like a stranger. Just thought you could use a little help here.
I never understood why Americans are so attach to their constitution. 2nd amendment pff pls. Yeah sure those constitutions used to work perfectly on the late 1700s not now you guys need to update your constitution. Also even Bejamin franklin also said that the are laws are only meant to be kept in certain about of period of time in able to be always updated!
How do explain 90,000 thousand missing kids in Kashmir ..oh and what 6,000 sexual assault cases against your army in Kashmir and that's only who are reported in last 10 years by the UN ..don't think India has any moral authority to tell US anything while you are being called Nazi India by NYT, Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC etc.
The problem with the gun control debate is the complete inability to compromise and the distrust and hatred of the other side. Liberals see Conservatives as stupid and uneducated and are convinced that they're right. Conservatives see Liberals as weak and inexperienced. Both sides offer examples for an against guns. Conservatives use Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union as examples of why we need guns and Liberals use Britain and Canada as examples of why we don't need them. A conservative doesn't understand the liberal logic of no guns and a liberal doesn't understand the conservative logic of guns. Because the two sides don't understand each other they come to distrust each other and with that comes a lack of communication and division. As the two sides drift further and further apart it becomes more unlikely for any cooperation to solve the problem of gun violence.
The only problem with your reasoning is that it doesn't take i9n account the brainwashing work the NRA does. If the NRA wasn't there, probably the two opposite camps would be much much closer.
Mark Dannau and also the mainstream media and politicians purposely spreading false information and passing gun control laws knowing that they are ineffective to stop gun crimes
"The restriction of guns will no doubt infringe on the civil liberties of Americans" How about you tell that to all the dead children. Where were their civil liberties when they needed them most? It boils my blood when Americans feel that they can justify their 'freedom and civil liberty' on the blood vulnerable and innocent children. What if that was your child? Shame on you
So punishing the innocent is fine if it's for the public good? The worst atrocities in history have been carried out by governments using this reasoning. Shame on you.
@Lizzie Allen I don't see anyone driving into classrooms to run over kids.. do you? Nor use knives for that matter. Bottom line is your society gives you the tools to make school shootings possible and you find it ok? No where else in the world is it this bad. Legit cant see why peoole cant take their heads out of their asses and see that. It's a fact.
Justen Smith calling some a "republicunt" really takes away from your argument, name calling isn't going to solve anything you two should be have a respectful argument like fucking adults he has different opinion doesn't make him wrong
I did it since preschool, we used to hide in the bathrooms and people knocked on our door. We had to stay quiet and when kids cried too loud they got shushed
Jake Lanister if only more lawful responsible gun owners would demand universal background checks and a mental health evaluation and the NRA's strangle hold on our congress.
Justin Morales there are universal background checks. If your gonna bash someone or something please do some research and no, news outlets and social media do not count.
All states require background checks unless it is a private sale from a person to person and even then its difficult to find someone who will sell without proof like a CCW permit.

American guns save Europe. Europe gets taken over by tyrants yet again. American guns save Europe yet again. Europeans call Americans stupid for having guns.
Those groups wouldn't have been liberated if America was still ruled by England in that time either. It got no better or no worse for those groups for some time anyways. Do you think that America invented slavery or never killed Native Americans or never mistreated women while under European control?
Taqi Yasir,,, what this fat twat is not telling you is ,we have a total ban on any fire arms other than sporting,we have the most stringent laws on the acquisition of sporting firearms on the planet,we have had a 60+% increase in firearms crime since the total ban,99.7% of which the guilty parties were using illegal weapons,,we also have laws in place to prevent our citizens from protecting themselves,it is deemed a greater crime for me to injure or kill another person,than the crime they are committing by attempting to injure and or kill me,so if the 2nd amendment gives you the right to defend yourself you would be a fucking idiot to let it go,#love is of no use to you when the homicide detectives are figuring out what happened???

Jorge Farinha I think of Pinochet's Chilean death squads, the Caravan of death. For anyone who says the need to be armed against a tyrannical government is outdated, I present a relevant case in the Western Hemisphere not too far away and not too long ago. And I am so beyond surprised that this debate always boils down to the same talking points and cliched arguments. The constitutionality of the Second Amendment, the purpose, intent, and relevant historical context is settled law. The debate is over. Of course I realize a lot of people would not like the debate to be over, but it is. Our 2nd Amendment codifies an individual right to bear arms explicitly for the purpose of being a member of an old school 18th century militia, but by no means limited toward that end. Hunting and self-defense are are not the explicit or primary intent of the Second Amendment, but they're covered within the individual right to own a firearm just the same. Some people ask if us gun "nuts" really expect to defeat the United States military. Of course that point is completely moot. Does anyone really expect the US military to fire an American citizens? Who would they shoot at but their families, their friends, and their neighbors? Hostilities or conflict would never get that far. In the 21st century the purpose of owning firearms in defense from a tyrannical government is not some awesome Red Dawn scenario. In the 21st century the ownership of weapons is a symbol of non-compliance. I don't know what circumstances might bring about the use of the Second Amendment or require that symbolism to be displayed. It's not the top marginal tax rate going from 35% all the way up to 39%. It's not a mandate to buy health insurance or an increase in Medicaid spending. I don't know what circumstances would bring the Second Amendment to its historical fruition, but that Amendment serves as a wonderful little "r" republican virtue...a well-armed citizenry.
Jorge Farinha ...change can take place if fingerprint sensors were on triggers. When l ran for Broward County Sheriff my main proposal was to deputize concealed weapon licenses and have fingerprint trigger sensors on guns.

You're cute, I'll agree with you. But Seriously, I agree any guns with magazine over 7 bullets should be banned. If you can't hunt with 7 bullets then dont. And its not the action movie where you need to shoot everyone. If 7 bullets cant make you feel safe most likely nothing can. Semi auto and such can be accesible to public only in shooting range, and rented inside shooting range only, not to be carried into the society. People are unreliable, they can snap from anything, and you don't want an angry lunatic with semi auto run rampant.
Weedle Guy You do know that semi automatic shot like a hand gun right? They use those kind because it's easier to shot and defense with than hand guns. And shoot with more stability, use your brain, psychopath will figure out a way to commit crimes, that kid could burn about a class full of students alive with some gasoline or chemical substances, don't blame the objects.

To be fair, I'd rather get stabbed than get shot. I get that you are speaking about deaths and that the result is pretty much the same, but you can still fight back against a knife, and you know who did it and most of the times why. Guns are less personal, you cant defend yourself and the shooter might not even feel like he/she is actually hitting you.
Lola Lo then you’re an absolute idiot. Knife wounds are always more traumatic than a violent wound. Blades do far more damage in a real world attack.

If nobody had guns in the first place you wouldn't need to defend yourself, if other countries have survived centuries without them I'm sure America can too.
@@joshm.9427 But it's not the criminals we worry about, it's everyone else, criminals usually kill other criminals (rivals) and not civilians, civilians do 130 mass shooting every year, gang members killing gang members is one thing, and they choose that path, but when some sicko walks into a church or a school and drops 20 innocent lives it's a whole different matter.
'it hasn't happened for 200 years so it won't happen again' 'if you didn't have guns you wouldn't have to defend yourself' Guess we don't need defence forces in the world because there hasn't been a major war in more than half a century so we can get rid of them. Guess the world stage let WW1 happen because there hadn't been a war with significant casualties yet, and hey, there haven't been any people that dissented yet so why would it happen in the future.. Guess we don't need any defense options at all, because then you don't have to defend yourself (???) Naive and utopic. If you ignore history you are doomed to repeat it. Always be critical.
There is someone watching this today, they may be a school kid or a McDonalds employee, it doesn't matter who they are, but within 6 months they are going to be dead!!!!!! The reason, because someone with a legally held gun is going to kill them, to me that is a scary thought.

Thank you for presenting facts in a calm and logical manner. I'm a gun owner and this is the first time I've listen to someone speak about their opinions without screaming and yelling. To often we seem to go to completely different corners about subjects instead of meeting in the middle and discussing it like logical and intelligent adults.
Just imagine. We are here after 4 years. We just witnessed another mass shooting, the biggest since 2012. It just saddens me that the country which calls itself the forefront of civilization has no control on guns. It lets its people die because firearm companies are making their money and people can slap "liberty" on the face of people who discourage guns.
Calm manner, yes. Logical? No. This guy and/or his team cherry picked countries to put on that graph. What matters is per capita 'Mass shootings" vs civilian ownership, which is carefully omitted from this graph for most relevant countries. Conversely, taking this chart at face value, we can by extension use the same logic in another application: we have An increased chance of drowning if there is a pool in your backyard. There are 11 unintentional drowning deaths per day. WE MUST MARCH! Per mass shootings, we have 32 deaths this year. (Yes, this guy is specifically talking about mass shootings to envoke an emotional response/argument to bypass the more serious (And largely Democratic controlled ) non-suicide gun epidemic. So we're going to do the same with our "stats". So far, that amounts to 0.16 deaths per day from mass shootings. Even at the peak of mass shooting deaths annually, ever, in the US (2021) comes out to .28 deaths per day. So yeah....if you want to march and quote stats specifically about mass shootings, go ahead, but your efforts are used FAR better elsewhere and your stats are easy to trivialize.

Most legal gun owners are not driving the violence. It’s criminals with illegal guns that are but this isn’t talked about enough!
If there is an increase in Shark attacks in the world, Australia put up nets to protect swimmers, Americans buy their own Shark to protect them from Sharks
Nets in schools don’t stop bullets. A better comparison might be kids wear body armor. Also sharks have autonomy, firearms do not. But hey I’m nitpicking now...
If we were to actually use an apt simile, it would be that Australians ban teeth and all remove their own teeth to protect them from the sharks' teeth. I'd rather have a bunch of friendly sharks in the water to protect me than some net that can easily be bit through (gun free zone).
@@Samuel-xf5qz I would much rather have a shark than a sunfish bringing only positive vibes. There will always be a very small minority of people that will take from you what they can get using violence. If they decide to target you, it's too late then to worry about defense against those people.
I've done a lot of travelling in my life, visiting many countries around the world, including Turkey and Kyrgyzstan, and yet the United States of America is the place where I feel the least safe to travel, even in public, everyday places. Say what you will about your rights to own 10 AK-47s, but does it not mean something when people from other countries feel unsafe inside your borders? How can some not see the validity of so many other people with experiences with different gun control systems. If you believe that you are less safe without your guns I greatly encourage you to travel to other countries and see that there is a way to live safely without them.
The only problem about that, is here in USA, we don't have a uniformed culture that makes everyone on the same page. We're such a HUGE melting pot where different areas of america have different views and values from others. What happens in North Dakota, and what they need, believe, values are completely different than New Jersey's values and beliefs. We have democrats and republicans in our government that will not work with each other. And you have democrats and republican everyday people going about their business who hate each other. You also have a mass amount of good people just doing their thing, and living their lives, who get along with everyone just fine. Traveling from one state to another, you see such differences that's unique to each state. So our problems are greater than just gun control laws. But we also have good things about us too. It's so frustrating when other countries compare their 'awesome laws' to america's 'horrible laws' when they are SO different from one another on a ton of different levels.
Very true! The sheer size (geographically and population-wise) of the states make agreement on culture so difficult, and sometimes I wonder if (though it will never happen) the "united" states should separate into their own countries, as only then could there be some agreement on policies. In Canada, 90% of the population lives within 100km of the U.S. border and so the cultural divide is nowhere near as large, despite being the world's 2nd largest country. I fear that the states will never see eye to eye on many issues crucial to all countries. But again, with so many different cultures within the country, I still believe that travel for some even within the national borders would help ease such distinctions (I believe that people think they are more different from others than they actually are) between the American population, as well as educate them on views different from the culture they are used to. So many people (not just in America but around the world) do not have the privilege of traveling and exploring our diverse world, and in turn, miss out on so many unique experiences and ideas that on their own could never have imagined. But alas, such is life, c'est la vie.
Handload your own ammo. I suggest you learn wheel weight + lead-tin solder alloying. Stock up on wheel weights. Stock up on propellants. Stock up on primers and casings. Pick up your brass and refurbish them on your loading bench. Careful handloading (reloading) will produce ammo every bit as good as factory loads. We already face restrictive gun owners' control. You have to be a living angel to own a gun and purchase ammunition. One loud shouting match with the old lady and your gun rights are kaput. Not to worry about gun ban, worry about ammo ban. The Government knows banning guns is futile; banning ammo will be effective. Learn handloading and stock up the supplies needed to make 10,000 rounds for you and your buddies.
I love how his opinion says "not a force of nature" but in every country regardless of gun controls experience gun massacres or gun homicides. It IS a force of nature - namely human nature.
1911GreaterThanALL yep. Just like you have shared in other videos, you can’t legislate maniacs off the streets, but a victim/target who points a barrel at an aggressor’s head tends to get across a pretty universal message. “Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men." - St. Augustine
This kind of cowardly submission to enslavement to the globalists makes me want article 13 to pass. The Europeans and their leftist wannabes in America need some direct consequences for being so cowardly. They're too stupid to understand cause and effect, unless it directly affects them. An armed person is a citizen. A disarmed person is a subject.
sorry when was the last gun massacre in the uk? ohhhh right over 20 years ago . but go off with the usual ‘ GuNs DoNt KiLl PeOpLe Do ‘ because you’re too selfish of s prick to actually care about anyone but yourself.
I completely agree with everything Corden says in this video, but i'm still shaking my head listening to it. Doesn't matter what facts and charts the world shows. Doesn't matter how loud these children scream and shout for this stop. Americans will always chose their 'freedom' over their children's lives.
yeah because we have the second amendment. would you support NSA spying and fourth amendment violations because of terrorism? ridiculous. more uses of guns for self defense occur each year than guns used for homicides.
@@famousgoldentouch Tell that to Switzerland, New Zealand, Czech Republic and other countries similar to the ones listed. In Switzerland owning a gun is compulsory. USA has a culture issue, not a gun issue. School s*ootings are statistically extremely rare. Inner city gang violence is far more common but mainly done with pistols, which by any metric are reasonable self defense tools
@@ManiacMayhem7256 i agree to you to a certain point, i live not far away from Switzerland and i know their „gun“ culture and how they handle it… so far its right to say its a culture problem… but often, to be honest, its easier to solve such a HORRIBLE problem by changing/adjusting a few laws than try to change hundred years of culture growing the wrong way (parts of it, don’t get me wrong)
@@famousgoldentouch you could put in every "common sense" gun regulations and these types of massacres would still be very common. Why? Well background checks wouldn't get most of these guys they aren't diagnosed with anything nor have a criminal record (it's ableist anyways to discriminate based on disorder), gun licenses would be easy to obtain for these people because they're mostly middle class men with a lot of time on their hands so licenses would only screw the poor, gun registry wouldn't stop it, red flag laws most of these men aren't detected until it's too late, you get my point. Those laws may slightly decrease inner city violence, but the media doesn't care for those. It's mainly mental health and culture, not gun culture specifically but American culture as a whole. By mental health it's different from serial killers. Those usually all share ASPD and NPD. These massacre men usually don't share any disorder other than depression of varying levels. America didn't have shootings of any regularity until the 90s, before that we had even less strict gun laws yet the only type of these shootings that really shook the nation was Charles Whitman, and that was rare. A lot of these young men are isolated, bitter, angry, bullied, and feel they have no future. They wanna prove they're not a beta, that they're some tough man so they'll go out with a bang. They wanna be famous since nobody knows who they are. It's the Columbine mindset. Columbine itself was a failed bombing. I feel every culture has a way of snapping, and post 90s America sees the Columbine model as how to snap. Before that was serial killers (yes I know the psychology is different but still). In asia they have hikkikomori.
You got that right !!!! They were too scare they were not going to go in the building and abuse a little girl they were going to find someone with an AR 15 which means that he had a BIGGER GUN than they did !!!!
@EL JAY what I meant is for protection, our society is decaying and like many people, if I was asleep in my home and awoke to a home invasion, my misses, kids and property need instant protection.

In my country there's no known mass shootings in school because for us education is the utmost important thing. I've gotten through grade school to college not having to think about doing an active shooter drill because the chances of having an active shooter storm a school is so slim, and I live in a third world country and we have prevented those things to happen. Imagine a great nation with all the resources and the power to change a law so quickly, I hope america sees that as an opportunity to make their country safe not just for tourists but especially to the ones living there.
In 1774 England banned guns/gunpowder in the 13 American colonies. Attempted gun confiscation by 8-900 English soldiers in Concord & Lexington Mass. on April 19 1775 started that 8 year war for independence & England almost won that war in 1783!! Guns were temporary confiscated at times in colonial America (1607-1776)!!
This is the problem with people like you. Do a experienced drug dealer or a “criminal” who have been to prison several times want to kill someone or commit a mass shooting killing 30 people to spend the rest of his or hers life in prison going through the everyday torture in there? No If we now imagine a “normal law biding citizen” who lets say is depressed and just got dumped by his or hers partner. This theoretical person has mental breakdown maybe on drugs grabs a weapon used for home protection to either kill them self or to take revenge on who ever they blame for his or hers misery by killing it or them? Possibly It’s never the “criminal” who is the killer, it’s never the criminally obtained gun who is the murder weapon. Until people understands that the more time it takes for a mass shooter to get hold of a gun, the less likely it is that a mass shooting is to happen.
@@notieming a good majority of those mass shooters never made it to prison. They killed themselves. Law abiding citizens shoot themselves, or they use it against their gf/bf. You’re right about that, but that’s life. Guns are dangerous, and there are consequences to owning them. But it’s imbedded in our constitutio.., to try and take away a specific firearm, or worse, confiscate, will only make things much much worse. Around %40 if Americans own a gun, or live in a house with someone who does. That’s a lot of people, and roughly 40-45 thousand people die a year from gun violence. Nowhere near %40 percent of the entire US population. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. People change, good people turn bad, and bad people can change as well. Educate the public on gun safety and their dangers. Taking away guns or restricting certain weapons doesn’t help anyone except the criminals. Our country’s culture is so much more different than others. It’s not as easy as other countries have made it out to be
@@thedude1987 If we are talking about mass shooting, gun education wouldn’t do shit. The individuals who commit these acts are often educated and can there for use a gun properly. In general are Americans are well educated which is good when there is so many guns around. The problem is not that “normal” criminals have guns from the beginning because for a normal citizen, drug dealers running around killing each other is not a big problem. Some may come in the crossfire which doesn’t have anything to do with guns. I think that biggest problem that gun wielding Americans is that they don’t see the bigger picture. Let’s say in a hypothetical that in a country with as many guns as America, 30.000 people die from gun related incidences, but with guns we can also save 5.000 lives. Let’s say that America without guns there is 10.000 people who get killed (which is most likely criminals, which let’s be fair, we don’t really care about), let’s also say that in this world there is 0 lives saved due to no guns. What every one reading this can see is that with guns there is a 25.000 people difference in saved lives and lost lives meanwhile in a gun free country there is 10.000 difference. I think that pro gun activist doesn’t care about the 30.000 deaths and will only say “we saved 5.000 people” Meanwhile we could save 20.000 people by banning guns This is what I see when reading you original comment, cracking down on criminals will not do anything, because they will always be there School shooters are not criminals (don’t take that out of context) Srry if this is a bit rambly
@@notieming I see what you’re saying. Your hypothetical outlook is nice, but this is reality. Taking away guns from law abiding citizens only leaves them defenseless against those who do. I’m not sure if you want all guns abolished, or just high capacity semi-auto AR-15s, but either way, the basis of the second amendment is self defense. Guns will continue to thrive in the country legally or illegally so long as we have borders that are not secured. Every person I know including myself doesn’t want to see anyone die from gun violence, but it happens. Gun deaths will go down when back ground checks become more detailed, and when prison sentences are extended to keep the criminals off the streets for longer. The guns without vin numbers are the only guns that need confiscated. Criminals will not be turning in their already illegal to own guns to the government. We haven’t banned alcohol or weed, how many people die a year from accident related deaths to those? Is it a right, or a privilege? Taking away something that has dangerous consequences to those who are uneducated does not help out the uneducated, it only demoralizes and creates bitter tension to the majority of a population that believes in personal responsibility over government protection.
The use of the chart was a very good idea, I think a lot of people hear the numbers but can't grasp the true gravity of them. My secondary school once had a drill about what to do if someone came in with a gun, but it was because alllllll the embassy kids and celebrity kids went there. It was about 9 years ago.

Bob Reavaer How dare the people who have suffered the most speak out. Clearly their suffering invalidates their ability to speak about it.
Bob Reavaer So when should they take action? In a few decades when the memories have faded away a little? Next month, after the government has done he whole “it’s not time to talk about it, let’s put it behind us” bullshit? How dare you suggest that these teenagers shouldn’t be raising their voices just because they may still be grieving, just because they are young? Maybe they aren’t perfectly educated in gun laws, but it doesn’t take an expert to know that the way things are right now needs to change and that no child or human being should have to look down the barrel of a gun and fear for their lives while they are simply trying to get an education, enjoy an event, walk down the street, or just live their life. There’s nothing unethical about “using” the kids in this segment. They put their faces out in the world knowing perfectly well what they were doing. And maybe they ARE still emotional, but they’ve made the decision to use that emotion in a positive and powerful way, telling the people who are supposed to be protecting us from this shit that they’re doing a really bad job. I think it’s admirable and brave, and I hope you can come see them in a better light as well.
No, people should do none of that. All people need to do is tell their employees (the government) to fix this shit. That's literally all the people need to do, just walk out into the street and say "Look, I don't care whether guns or mental health issues are the problem, just fix this shit because this is not how it's supposed to be. Something is very wrong, fix it!"
I'm absolutely baffled by the fact that Americans aren't out in the streets in droves to demand change, because you absolutely need it.
Edit: No one is using those kids, they put themselves out there. They are the only ones doing the sensinle thing EVERYONE of you should be doing; demand change. James and many others are just giving them a platform.
Bob Reavaer there is only one reaction that is appropriate and needed at this point and it’s for Americans to stop value their guns over the lives of the children of their country...
I’m not saying ban all guns that would never work but the UK has a great system that seems to work pretty well.
@Bob Reavaer: who in your opinion should talk about what happen, the people that where there and experienced that reality or the people that get paid by the NRA (that makes a lot of money selling these Guns)? Always come up the point of the freedom do have guns and the 2nd amendment, but what is with the freedom to live that got these children taken away? what is more important the freedom to live or the freedom to end a children's life? Also as the 2nd amendment was written these guns where not around. the 2nd amendment was written with gun like muskets, but not high power rifles than kills you instantly if you get hit by only 1 bullet of it. These gun are war weapon and do not belong in the hand of a civil person. And what give you the right to say that the children are not allowed to express their opinion about what happen to them? Where you there? Do you know what it means to fear for your live at a teenager in a school? I do not know why you think the way you do, please explain it.
The guns laws in Japan are basically perfect.
Pimp 6972 so are their immigration laws
There's one big difference. Japan has let their people own guns for 200 years. There's not that many of them in Japan. So they can control it. America has opened the flood gates for the last 200 years. So laws like that would make zero difference in the US.
I was going to say the same thing Thomas. I got way too many criminals in my neighborhood that have them. How do we get a handle on them first? I'm open to go to a class every year or 3 to get a license. Just what do we do for the bullshit that already happened for so long.
foxhound13 guess what no matter what laws pass criminals will still have them. Criminals are criminals because they don't obey any laws. Our justice system is way out of order letting these criminals out on parole way too early especially for violent crimes. Were going to have to change our justice system and good people everyday carrying firearms to protect themselves.
Thomas Carpenter we used to own slaves. Slaves were part of culture. People fought to keep slaves until it was realised that it was inhumane. Every rational people can make the connection between guns and mass shootings. Don’t cite population because India has a far larger population than the USA and they have far less mass shootings than the USA. Tradition doesn’t matter. A child’s right to go to school, a person’s right to go to church, a young man’s right to go to a club without the fear of dying from a gunman is far more important than tradition or a right to bear arms. Simple
I am not an American citizen, but I am sad to say that when I saw the news about what happened in Florida, I was not surprised. I hate to say it, but I saw the headline for the story and thought nothing of it. Yes, I was heartbroken that more children were killed in a place where they should never fear for their own life. But when I saw the headline all I could think was "just a regular day in America". It has gotten to the point for me where I recognize mass shootings in America like this as a normal thing... Almost like it is a trend. It should never be that way.
I firmly believe that nothing will change. If the gun laws didn't change after Columbine or Sandy Hook, then they will never change.
I am from Vancouver, in Canada, and I can tell you that I am not the only person who feels this way. The news about what happened in Parkland was the talk of my high school. We had debates in classes about what we think should happen next. CANADIAN TEENAGERS care more about the well being and safety of American children then their own country does.
America, please get your head out of you ass. Sort our your priorities. Enough children have been slaughtered. How many more have to die before you do something about this?
EDIT: I also think that it is stupid that American's think that James and Trevor Noah do not deserve to give their opinions on these tragic mass shootings just because they are not American themselves. I think that James and Trevor and myself, being foreigners, have every right to speak up. Foreigners speaking up about your screwed up system should be a MASSIVE SIGN that you really have a problem. If people like myself take the time our of their day to express their anger and concern over the gun laws in America, then the problem is extremely serious. Us foreigners care. We do. We do not want to sit idly when we know that our voicing our opinions may do something. I refuse to be a bystander.
Sadly I did the same thing as you. I actually scrolled past the news on my phone the first day as it was just more of the same news form America. It is a really sad state to be in.
Same here, I'm from Sweden and it obviously broke my heart that innocent children were hurt and lost their lives but I wasn't even slightly surprised. It's more surprising nowadays when a week passes without a mass shooting....
Fanny I want to move to your country it's beautiful ! I don't feel safe in America at all, and just the thought of raising a family here is horrible I would never trust they are safe here.
Jade West I AGREE...but like you said NOTHING WAS DONE THEN WHEN COLUMBINE HAPPENED AND NOTHING WILL GET DONE NOW...It is a vicious cicle

Makes a lot of sense, laws are man made, and can be changed.
Jenny Purcell government is man made and it changes all the time because of people. For better or worse.
One should not put so much faith in something that is ever so changing like government because one day the laws are working for you. And next with a swipe of a pen. Terms are changed and now your on the receiving end of the law.
The constitution is not man made laws. They are rights hence being called the bill of rights. Which an individual regardless of man made laws can practice or use.
For example everyone has the right to speak their mind and voice their opinions. Hence the right to free speech. This constitution makes sure the government has no power over an individual when it comes to voicing their opinion. If the government limited what can be said or what people can say about politicians or the leader of our country. That would a violation of the individual's right.
For guns it's simple. We the people. Mostly able body men and women of 18+ years old. Are the militia. A militias responsibility is to be the minutemen when a crisis occurs like terrorist or tyrannical government foreign and domestic, to protect and fight back in a minutes notice. That's what going to range and practicing shooting weapons of different types is at its core. Even buying and keeping guns is part of arming ourselves as a militia to ensure the freedom and protection of future generations. Then passing down the responsibility to our kids so they don't have to relia on others like the government.
If the government limited what can be bought then it makes it harder to defend ourselves from over powering governments and no government like that will give back the people's right. That's why once you lose a right. It's gone forever.
Forge of the Dragon it also enables mass shootings, as James said we(UK) haven't had a mass shooting for 22 years, we have freedom of speech too, you can do both, your constitution was drawn up by man, a looooong time ago, times change, so should laws.
Deez Nuts chraming, maybe because I have better morals than you, and respect for human life, in ANY country, moron.

I'm sorry to hit you in your sore spot, but how exactly did you still possessing guns prevent 9/11, pray tell?
If you have to take drivers ed in order to drive a car, you should have to take some kind of education course and a test before you can own a gun.
When an underage person can buy alcohol, and get behind the wheel of an automobile; maybe something needs to be done about that.
Nope.
Considering more people have been killed, domestically, by guns in America than in every war the country has ever fought, you are talking shit...
T U R K - 1 8 2 . Owning guns is a civil right. Should we have tests to exercise our 1st amendment rights too? How about poll taxes and literacy tests to vote? And also guns ARE highly regulated already. If you had purchased one legally you would know that.
T U R K - 1 8 2: it sounds like youare like the rest of ignorant 99% of the US, military soldiers take qualification courses as many as twice per year during the whole of their careers, (my case, 20 years) but you rarely see one involved in a mass shooting
If gun control infringes on 'liberty', what does being shot and killed infringe on? Doesn't the word 'life' precede the word 'liberty' in the declaration of independence?
You know liberty means ability right? So how is it fair for 1 person to have the 'ability' to deprive anybody of life when they are having a bad day? Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, ?
It's not complicated: having the ability to deprive someone of life or liberty is not the same thing as actually depriving someone of life or liberty. The latter can justify locking a human in a cage, the former does not. If you want to advocate locking humans in cages for merely having the "ability" to commit a violent crime, at least have the balls to say so instead of pretending to be so confused.
@ Alan, Ability as in Freedom to do so... Not ability as in physical ability or otherwise. In other words, you have the right to life and liberty/pursuit of happiness. However so do I, so if I claim my right to 'liberty/ability' allows me to buy an AR-15 and walk into a public space and shoot everybody it creates a paradox doesn't it? Why don't they sell hand grenades or RPG's? What if I want to go fishing using a grenade? Or hunting using an RPG? Why deny me the ability to do those things?
@Fatnorth, That's insane though. The 'A' in AR-15 stands for assault. Which is the opposite of defend/protect. That is the core of the issue. Having an M240 Bravo, a weapon designed to suppress enemy fire by laying down a wall of led in the name of home security is crazy talk. Much less the fact that having such a weapon on the streets of our country for civilian use has no realistic purpose. Same for hand grenades and anti-tank weapon systems etc. Who on earth has such threats on their life that would justify or require such weapons as a means of defense?
The military trains you in the use of such weapons for the direct purpose of using them in defense of the country. The government tyranny angle doesn't hold much water in my opinion. I don't think that our military made up of volunteers would suddenly take up arms against the population, or that if it did, owning a weapon used in the military would save anybody if they did. If you're in a house with a machine gun trying to fend of the government, a drone would just drop a guided missile into the living room.

Think about it, merely coming in contact with the white man killed millions of natives infected with the cold virus, small pucks, and other viruses the natives where not equipped to fight against.
There are also countless examples of one race moving into an other race to enslave it, all throughout history.
When the Africans boarded the shores of India, or when the westerners boarded the shores of Africa, it would have been a good idea not to deal with those who intend to enslave them.
Man is a tribal animal that seeks to gather up with others who look them himself. There is a good evolutionary reason for that.
Besides, if you look at all the multi-cultural places on the planet, those places are almost always the most violent places you can be at.
I am white. I don't think that Asians, blacks, or Muslims are innerently bad, or anything of the sort. But I do think that not only good things can come out of trying to mix different cultures, different values, and religions into the same place.
@@jammo6645
Okay.
I don't think that my westerner values are any better or worst than other set of values from Africa, Asia, or the ME.
But we all have different sets of values. And when you mix up different people with difderent values, friction almost always occurs.
The westerners are disgusted with the way Islam treats women. That might work for them, but not so well in the western world.
The Muslims are also disgusted with the west oversexualuzation of everything. That might work for the west, but not so much with the Muslims.
Trying to fuse those diverging values can only create friction and violence.
An old saying says that when in Rome, act like Romans. But unfortunately, we are told that such a simple saying is now racist and intolerable.

Danielys Muñoz actions won't happen without words first. Enough people need to speak up so they are finally heard so that actions will finally be taken.
yana schmiedel we have been speaking up, that's why we still have our second amendment. We need armed security, obviously... Did everyone see how relieved the kids were when the police got to their classroom? Why were they relieved? Go on, I'll wait...
Sharon Murphy lol. They’re relieved because police means that they’re save, there’s is no one who can hurt them. This school actually had an armed Secruityman, but what can one man do against an automatic gun? You can’t stop guns with guns, that would just cost more lives but you can safe lives with no guns. You Americans can still have your second amendment, but you need to control your gun sales. Just do it like Japan, maybe not that strict but if you’re able to pass these test there and follow the rules there would be less shootings. It’s not that you ban alle the guns you more ban the people on buying guns who shouldn’t have guns in the first place
If you look at statistics knives kill 4x any automatic/bump stock weapon per year so his point is actually BONELESS
Did you hear about the most recent school shooting, an armed resource officer shot the attacker, but not before he killed an innocent girl. They will never prevent lives from being taken away.
In Japan a gunshot ending in a wall would make the news, even if there are no casualties.

Loz Girl well I moved to america and that was the best thing I ever did in my life! Funny enough never got shot yet and own guns as well. U do relies that these shootings happen in gun free zones. U never hear armed schools getting shot up?
Loz Girl I'm proud to be American where I have the right to self preservation instead of waiting for police to arrive in 5 minutes when the murderer has already killed me
Generation Z so you have permission to carry a firearm in public or can get to a your safe to get hold of you gun when startled in the night. I think anyone intentionally wants to murder you they would do it without you even knowing.
I’m proud to be British, where I don’t have to worry about carrying a weapon incase someone wants murder me on the street because our murder rate per capita is 4 times lower. Where my children can go to school without fearing for their lives. Where gun companies don’t get rich on playing on the fear of the public where actually statistics and data show the presence of guns in society is more dangerous than the absence of them.
A very thoughtful message. This is about what is the right thing to do. Don't let greed and pride to prevent the right thing to be done.
indeed. Will have to get rid of the republicans for that to happen though.
summercherry123 You need to think before typing, the message James gave out is total nonsense, the chart he gave out, no proof, no analysis. The proof of other countries, well, they're smaller, less people, less immigrants, less criminals, less needs of a gun, crimes are committed by criminals, not object, obviously James and Hollywood phonys never think about what would happened if guns aren't allowed, robbery, revenge killing, murder could be committed without any significant defense, freedom also includes free to defense.
Mark Armage You have to think long-term not short-term. All of these side-effects of anti-gun law that you listed will decrease eventually, let's say if gun control runs efficiently. The problem now is that crazy people are able to get deadly weapons like assault rifles easily in USA. School shootings have already become a normal thing in USA. Stricter gun control will make these nutjobs harder to get guns, which definitely decreases school massacre/fatalities.
MC Roy though i agree getting weapons in general out of the hands of nutjobs. But the evidence that someone is a nut job is scarce. Plus 2.5 million a year have used guns in self defense and 91 percent of the time the gun was never fired a single bullet.
Now there is no such thing as an assault rifle. It's just a rifle that has a semi auto function. Which the vast majority of guns on the market are semi auto.
You say that overtime side effects would just go away well that is actually very incorrect. UK was just been doing lots of gun control for decades now is actually considered the third most violent country within the UN. Yes the UK does not have as much gun related crime but the UK is also a very much smaller country than America because America is the third largest country in the world and the fact that UK after implementing so many gun control regulations still have around 16 million illegally possessed guns. Plus the fact that the UK has even had such trouble with knife crimes that they ban knives from being carried in public and even banned many different types of knives. Even a UK University study has proven with the statistics from both the UK and America that the UK is a much more violent place in America because criminals are still out there committing crimes on a daily basis even more so than they ever did after gun control.
For humanity and this planet to survive in the long run, we need to get rid of conservatism in any shape or form. This regressive thinking has separated people for decades if not centuries and will be responsible for our planet dying in about 200 years if we don't abolish conservatism.

They do that in the UK and Europe.
So the criminal can just the commit the crime with the gun when they do not visit?

TaizsiaG what do you suggest should be done? We can't just take away people's gun rights.
The Guitar Progress Channel Gun rights are a remnant of a bygone era that do not work in modern society.
Sir Librarian what? How do guns not belong in modern society? We have the 2nd amendment for a reason. What do you think that is?
The Guitar Progress Channel The second Amendment was all well and good, until time happened. Today’s guns resemble muskets not even slightly. I’m all in favor of fully repealing it, treat it like the prohibition amendment.
Sir Librarian do you really think that the founding fathers were stupid enough to think weapons wouldn't evolve? It was not written for muskets only. Btw You didn't answer my question. I would really like to know why you think the founding fathers wrote the 2nd amendment.
Thank God we don't give in to these evil gun grabbers.

Think, pal. Why is it relevant, your kids are human, too. They face the same risk as a normal living individual. If there's a truck that ran into a school, parents can't ban trucks.
You can't ban trucks but you can make it harder for that to happen again. If that was a valid argument people would be able to drink and drive just fine , because why make laws that make bad things harder ? Just liberate everything then . I don't see a lot of people saying they want to ban all guns, they want to ban some types of guns , make it harder for people to be able to purchase guns and better mental health care. I don't believe it should be banned but that it should be harder to get.
I agree just because me and my family can from a different country doesn’t mean we can’t speak or it’s okay for us to let others or even ourselves experience what those kids in Florida went through or all of the other school shootings. People used to talk about how immigrants cause all of the problems, I think it is pretty clear that it is not race or culture issue. Our nation is dividing and that can’t happen.

In fact yes, bombs are illegal. But that’s not the point. I was referring to the comment above implying that the more often something happens, they become numb to it. I’ll explain, if there is a mass shooting every day/every other week, it’s much more commonplace. In Manchester, 20+ people died and it was the worst murder for many many years. Perhaps it was wrong of me to compare the two events. I was just having a conversation with Matto niy.
James Corden; Let's forget all the haters. In my book, you are first class all the way

I'm not American but I am a gun owner.
In my country in the last 25 years we more than quadrupled our gun ownership rate. And during that same time, the murder rate, and crime rate dropped by 40%.
I'm not saying that the guns are causing the drop in crime and murder. Unlike most here, I understand that correlation and causation are two different things.
But if guns cause crime and murder, why are we seeing the opposite?
Same thing in the USA.They more than doubled their gun ownership rate in the last 25 years. The number of carry permits almost quadrupled starting at 3.5 million in 2008 to 13.5 million in 2015.
Yet the US crime rate and murder rate have dropped more than 50% in the same 25 years.
If guns cause crime, why are we seeing the reverse happening in Canada and the USA?
The Turkey Talker
Duh! Murder is illegal. We just need to make murder with a gun even more illegal.
And of course if we make guns illegal, killers will have more trouble getting a gun. Look at how well it worked with drug laws making it harder for drug dealers to......hmmmm. ...never mind.

In the USA rifles are involved in less than 1% of the homicides.
And by rifles, I mean both the scary assault ones and the not so scary ones combined. If you want to look strictly at the scary assault rifles, the statistic would be even lower.
The overwhelming majority of gun homicides are done with a handgun or sawed off shotgun. Rifles are just too bulky and too hard to conceal.
It is pretty interesting when you consider that the AR-15 is what you would describe as a scary black large caliber millitary assault rifle. It's also the most popular and iconic gun in the USA. Every gun owner I know owns at least one AR-15.
Yet it is involved in less than 1% of all the homicides.
So why are you so concerned with assault rifles? Because they look scary?
it’s even worse now
Cha cha real smooth oh great, that’s pretty impressive
@Cha cha real smooth And we haven't had a school shooting in my entire life time
@Cha cha real smooth people die from shootings every second that's a damn lie and matter of facr people are starting to shoot people for no reason or because its fun and they just hate the person and its not self defense at all
@Cha cha real smooth so why do they have guns at all? When someone is mentally ill they shouldn't be able to get a gun because they are (often) not able to control themselves. These "accidents" should never happen in a country like the USA
statistically gun homiacides are at an all time low
I am not an American Citizen...but i was on vacation in San Diego and for one weekend in Vegas shoortly before the shooting...i saw all this happy People in their country boots and in this time i was a bit jealous that we didn't had the time to go there too. We left Vegas a few hours before it happend to go back to San Diego. When i woke up in the morning i had a lot of messages of my family and friends on my phone. I didn't knew what happend so i looked at the news and i remember how shooked i was...and still be. I thought about all the people I saw in Vegas who went to the festival who are dead or hurt, and about their familys. I was not a victim and i never saw a gun in america, but since that day i didn't felt that save anymore. But I went back to Germany. You have to live with that all day. America is a amazing country and hopefully you create a future for your country were your children can feel save.

Steve Lion I’m from the Bronx as well, but I went school in Jamaica and even though there are a lot guns there(illegal) this never happen.
Jamaica! One of the highest homicide rates from guns in the world! Over 30 deaths from gun homicide per 100,000 people. US has less than 12 school shootings a year on average from the year 2000, out of a population of 330,000,000. Our homicide rate form guns is around 3. Versus Jamaica's 30 and its extremely strict gun laws.
All these guys keep using the same chart and skewing the staistics. Please inform yourself without political blinders on.
Authenticity. you say less than 12 school shootings a year as if it is not a bad thing. Any school shooting is a bad any life lost through any weaponry is a bad surely?
In the UK we had one school shooting and we dealt with and have had none since. Yes we still have crime as do all countries and it is not perfect here. But this is proof that if you restrict access to a weapon then you reduce the deaths performed by it.

The problem with the gun control debate is the complete inability to compromise and the distrust and hatred of the other side. Liberals see Conservatives as stupid and uneducated and are convinced that they're right. Conservatives see Liberals as weak and inexperienced. Both sides offer examples for an against guns. Conservatives use Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union as examples of why we need guns and Liberals use Britain and Canada as examples of why we don't need them.
A conservative doesn't understand the liberal logic of no guns and a liberal doesn't understand the conservative logic of guns. Because the two sides don't understand each other they come to distrust each other and with that comes a lack of communication and division. As the two sides drift further and further apart it becomes more unlikely for any cooperation to solve the problem of gun violence.
The only problem with your reasoning is that it doesn't take i9n account the brainwashing work the NRA does. If the NRA wasn't there, probably the two opposite camps would be much much closer.
Nice comment only problem i saw was that no one uses uk as an example since banning guns really did not go too well for them
Mark Dannau and also the mainstream media and politicians purposely spreading false information and passing gun control laws knowing that they are ineffective to stop gun crimes

"The restriction of guns will no doubt infringe on the civil liberties of Americans"
How about you tell that to all the dead children. Where were their civil liberties when they needed them most?
It boils my blood when Americans feel that they can justify their 'freedom and civil liberty' on the blood vulnerable and innocent children.
What if that was your child?
Shame on you
So punishing the innocent is fine if it's for the public good? The worst atrocities in history have been carried out by governments using this reasoning. Shame on you.
Did gun owners kill those kids ?
Do you blame the car when a drunk driver kills a car full of innocent people?
Will you blame the kitchen knives and people who posses them if someone stabs you?
@Lizzie Allen I don't see anyone driving into classrooms to run over kids.. do you? Nor use knives for that matter. Bottom line is your society gives you the tools to make school shootings possible and you find it ok? No where else in the world is it this bad. Legit cant see why peoole cant take their heads out of their asses and see that. It's a fact.
I’ve been doing shooting drills since I was in kindergarten.
Riley Vanorden that’s actually sad

Justen Smith You’re right they’re even worse.
I did it since preschool, we used to hide in the bathrooms and people knocked on our door. We had to stay quiet and when kids cried too loud they got shushed
As a Republican, I appreciate his tone towards this subject, if only more news stations could take the same approach.
Jake Lanister if only more lawful responsible gun owners would demand universal background checks and a mental health evaluation and the NRA's strangle hold on our congress.
Justin Morales there are universal background checks. If your gonna bash someone or something please do some research and no, news outlets and social media do not count.
James Baldwin i thought the state of Tennessee didn't require background checks?
All states require background checks unless it is a private sale from a person to person and even then its difficult to find someone who will sell without proof like a CCW permit.
James Baldwin thanks for clearing that up. Though shouldn't background checks still happen for private sales as a precaution?
I feel bad for all those people that died in those shootings! It's time for gun violence to end

I think of Pinochet's Chilean death squads, the Caravan of death. For anyone who says the need to be armed against a tyrannical government is outdated, I present a relevant case in the Western Hemisphere not too far away and not too long ago. And I am so beyond surprised that this debate always boils down to the same talking points and cliched arguments. The constitutionality of the Second Amendment, the purpose, intent, and relevant historical context is settled law. The debate is over. Of course I realize a lot of people would not like the debate to be over, but it is. Our 2nd Amendment codifies an individual right to bear arms explicitly for the purpose of being a member of an old school 18th century militia, but by no means limited toward that end. Hunting and self-defense are are not the explicit or primary intent of the Second Amendment, but they're covered within the individual right to own a firearm just the same. Some people ask if us gun "nuts" really expect to defeat the United States military. Of course that point is completely moot. Does anyone really expect the US military to fire an American citizens? Who would they shoot at but their families, their friends, and their neighbors? Hostilities or conflict would never get that far. In the 21st century the purpose of owning firearms in defense from a tyrannical government is not some awesome Red Dawn scenario. In the 21st century the ownership of weapons is a symbol of non-compliance. I don't know what circumstances might bring about the use of the Second Amendment or require that symbolism to be displayed. It's not the top marginal tax rate going from 35% all the way up to 39%. It's not a mandate to buy health insurance or an increase in Medicaid spending. I don't know what circumstances would bring the Second Amendment to its historical fruition, but that Amendment serves as a wonderful little "r" republican virtue...a well-armed citizenry.

You're cute, I'll agree with you. But Seriously, I agree any guns with magazine over 7 bullets should be banned. If you can't hunt with 7 bullets then dont. And its not the action movie where you need to shoot everyone. If 7 bullets cant make you feel safe most likely nothing can. Semi auto and such can be accesible to public only in shooting range, and rented inside shooting range only, not to be carried into the society. People are unreliable, they can snap from anything, and you don't want an angry lunatic with semi auto run rampant.
Weedle Guy You do know that semi automatic shot like a hand gun right? They use those kind because it's easier to shot and defense with than hand guns. And shoot with more stability, use your brain, psychopath will figure out a way to commit crimes, that kid could burn about a class full of students alive with some gasoline or chemical substances, don't blame the objects.

To often we seem to go to completely different corners about subjects instead of meeting in the middle and discussing it like logical and intelligent adults.
Just imagine. We are here after 4 years. We just witnessed another mass shooting, the biggest since 2012. It just saddens me that the country which calls itself the forefront of civilization has no control on guns. It lets its people die because firearm companies are making their money and people can slap "liberty" on the face of people who discourage guns.
Facts? To say there has not been a mass shooting in Australia since Port Arthur is pure undiluted BS
None of these were "facts". At best they are unintentional lies by omition and at worst they are intentional lies period.
Calm manner, yes. Logical? No. This guy and/or his team cherry picked countries to put on that graph. What matters is per capita 'Mass shootings" vs civilian ownership, which is carefully omitted from this graph for most relevant countries.
Conversely, taking this chart at face value, we can by extension use the same logic in another application: we have An increased chance of drowning if there is a pool in your backyard. There are 11 unintentional drowning deaths per day. WE MUST MARCH!
Per mass shootings, we have 32 deaths this year. (Yes, this guy is specifically talking about mass shootings to envoke an emotional response/argument to bypass the more serious (And largely Democratic controlled ) non-suicide gun epidemic. So we're going to do the same with our "stats".
So far, that amounts to 0.16 deaths per day from mass shootings. Even at the peak of mass shooting deaths annually, ever, in the US (2021) comes out to .28 deaths per day.
So yeah....if you want to march and quote stats specifically about mass shootings, go ahead, but your efforts are used FAR better elsewhere and your stats are easy to trivialize.

@@acetech8642 Then make laws that prevents them to get (new) guns and munition. Then you don´t need cops.
@@TheGukos it is already against the law to purchase the firearms they have. They been buy guns illegally since 2007. They have automatic long guns, sbrs and they even conceal carry shotguns short barrels without a concral carry permit. Also you are not slwowdd to conceal carry a shotgun in our area yet they use those a lot.
I live in Detroit. In detroit you're not allowed to carry a sbr in a gun free zone. You are also not allowed to buy a firearm if you are a felon or have a felony or any mental incarceration on you record. They don't legally buy thier guns so no law is gonna stop em.
Like I said earlier it is already ilegall to kill someone without a cause yet they do it everyday. Laws dont stop criminals. Stay safe and stay aremd.

Actually homicide with guns are at a all time low
@@conservativebot5282 yet school shootings and mass shootings are on increase. Are you so desperate to use any argument?
yujin nikiporets They are happening more, but it’s far less deadly, deaths from a mass shooting are at an all time low.
@@yuniki5237 It's a non issue. Significantly less than 1000 people a year die from them. That is not grounds to restrict my rights.

Xander Bucher they’re causing deaths and statistics agree
Xander Bucher would you rather people were armed to defend themselves or that people didn’t have to defend themselves? Guns are weapons, not tools.
Xander Bucher yes, but they’d have a harder time doing it
Xander Bucher Yes, Bret the chance is reduced.
James corden doesn’t once mention gun violence in the inner cities of Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, Memphis, Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, New Orleans, St. Louis or any other major American city where innocent children and people young and old are innocently killed in the crossfire by gangbangers with illegal guns. Most legal gun owners are not driving the violence. It’s criminals with illegal guns that are but this isn’t talked about enough!
If there is an increase in Shark attacks in the world, Australia put up nets to protect swimmers, Americans buy their own Shark to protect them from Sharks
Where do I buy sharks for this purpose? I am interested.
Nets in schools don’t stop bullets.
A better comparison might be kids wear body armor. Also sharks have autonomy, firearms do not. But hey I’m nitpicking now...
If we were to actually use an apt simile, it would be that Australians ban teeth and all remove their own teeth to protect them from the sharks' teeth. I'd rather have a bunch of friendly sharks in the water to protect me than some net that can easily be bit through (gun free zone).
Yes because a shark is a great mean of defense against other sharks and yes i love putting up nets around my house to stop bullets love it
@@Samuel-xf5qz I would much rather have a shark than a sunfish bringing only positive vibes. There will always be a very small minority of people that will take from you what they can get using violence. If they decide to target you, it's too late then to worry about defense against those people.

I've done a lot of travelling in my life, visiting many countries around the world, including Turkey and Kyrgyzstan, and yet the United States of America is the place where I feel the least safe to travel, even in public, everyday places. Say what you will about your rights to own 10 AK-47s, but does it not mean something when people from other countries feel unsafe inside your borders? How can some not see the validity of so many other people with experiences with different gun control systems. If you believe that you are less safe without your guns I greatly encourage you to travel to other countries and see that there is a way to live safely without them.
The only problem about that, is here in USA, we don't have a uniformed culture that makes everyone on the same page. We're such a HUGE melting pot where different areas of america have different views and values from others. What happens in North Dakota, and what they need, believe, values are completely different than New Jersey's values and beliefs. We have democrats and republicans in our government that will not work with each other. And you have democrats and republican everyday people going about their business who hate each other. You also have a mass amount of good people just doing their thing, and living their lives, who get along with everyone just fine. Traveling from one state to another, you see such differences that's unique to each state. So our problems are greater than just gun control laws. But we also have good things about us too. It's so frustrating when other countries compare their 'awesome laws' to america's 'horrible laws' when they are SO different from one another on a ton of different levels.
Very true! The sheer size (geographically and population-wise) of the states make agreement on culture so difficult, and sometimes I wonder if (though it will never happen) the "united" states should separate into their own countries, as only then could there be some agreement on policies. In Canada, 90% of the population lives within 100km of the U.S. border and so the cultural divide is nowhere near as large, despite being the world's 2nd largest country. I fear that the states will never see eye to eye on many issues crucial to all countries. But again, with so many different cultures within the country, I still believe that travel for some even within the national borders would help ease such distinctions (I believe that people think they are more different from others than they actually are) between the American population, as well as educate them on views different from the culture they are used to. So many people (not just in America but around the world) do not have the privilege of traveling and exploring our diverse world, and in turn, miss out on so many unique experiences and ideas that on their own could never have imagined. But alas, such is life, c'est la vie.
I'm not American & I don't understand why people need to own AKs & military grade weapons. What do they use them for?
Handload your own ammo. I suggest you learn wheel weight + lead-tin
solder alloying. Stock up on wheel weights. Stock up on propellants.
Stock up on primers and casings. Pick up your brass and refurbish them
on your loading bench. Careful handloading (reloading) will produce
ammo every bit as good as factory loads. We already face restrictive
gun owners' control. You have to be a living angel to own a gun and
purchase ammunition. One loud shouting match with the old lady and your
gun rights are kaput. Not to worry about gun ban, worry about ammo ban.
The Government knows banning guns is futile; banning ammo will be
effective. Learn handloading and stock up the supplies needed to make
10,000 rounds for you and your buddies.
A living angel to own a gun?
What planet are you living on?

I love how his opinion says "not a force of nature" but in every country regardless of gun controls experience gun massacres or gun homicides. It IS a force of nature - namely human nature.
1911GreaterThanALL yep. Just like you have shared in other videos, you can’t legislate maniacs off the streets, but a victim/target who points a barrel at an aggressor’s head tends to get across a pretty universal message.

This kind of cowardly submission to enslavement to the globalists makes me want article 13 to pass. The Europeans and their leftist wannabes in America need some direct consequences for being so cowardly. They're too stupid to understand cause and effect, unless it directly affects them.
An armed person is a citizen. A disarmed person is a subject.

Doesn't matter what facts and charts the world shows. Doesn't matter how loud these children scream and shout for this stop.
Americans will always chose their 'freedom' over their children's lives.
yeah because we have the second amendment. would you support NSA spying and fourth amendment violations because of terrorism? ridiculous. more uses of guns for self defense occur each year than guns used for homicides.
Stupidity- not freedom. We live in a free world, thankful and without threats-and oh wonder without guns
@@famousgoldentouch Tell that to Switzerland, New Zealand, Czech Republic and other countries similar to the ones listed. In Switzerland owning a gun is compulsory. USA has a culture issue, not a gun issue. School s*ootings are statistically extremely rare. Inner city gang violence is far more common but mainly done with pistols, which by any metric are reasonable self defense tools
@@ManiacMayhem7256 i agree to you to a certain point, i live not far away from Switzerland and i know their „gun“ culture and how they handle it… so far its right to say its a culture problem… but often, to be honest, its easier to solve such a HORRIBLE problem by changing/adjusting a few laws than try to change hundred years of culture growing the wrong way (parts of it, don’t get me wrong)
@@famousgoldentouch you could put in every "common sense" gun regulations and these types of massacres would still be very common. Why? Well background checks wouldn't get most of these guys they aren't diagnosed with anything nor have a criminal record (it's ableist anyways to discriminate based on disorder), gun licenses would be easy to obtain for these people because they're mostly middle class men with a lot of time on their hands so licenses would only screw the poor, gun registry wouldn't stop it, red flag laws most of these men aren't detected until it's too late, you get my point. Those laws may slightly decrease inner city violence, but the media doesn't care for those.
It's mainly mental health and culture, not gun culture specifically but American culture as a whole. By mental health it's different from serial killers. Those usually all share ASPD and NPD. These massacre men usually don't share any disorder other than depression of varying levels. America didn't have shootings of any regularity until the 90s, before that we had even less strict gun laws yet the only type of these shootings that really shook the nation was Charles Whitman, and that was rare. A lot of these young men are isolated, bitter, angry, bullied, and feel they have no future. They wanna prove they're not a beta, that they're some tough man so they'll go out with a bang. They wanna be famous since nobody knows who they are. It's the Columbine mindset. Columbine itself was a failed bombing. I feel every culture has a way of snapping, and post 90s America sees the Columbine model as how to snap. Before that was serial killers (yes I know the psychology is different but still). In asia they have hikkikomori.

In my country there's no known mass shootings in school because for us education is the utmost important thing. I've gotten through grade school to college not having to think about doing an active shooter drill because the chances of having an active shooter storm a school is so slim, and I live in a third world country and we have prevented those things to happen. Imagine a great nation with all the resources and the power to change a law so quickly, I hope america sees that as an opportunity to make their country safe not just for tourists but especially to the ones living there.
I know this is old but I went through school just fine never had any problems an never was worried. The media is just hype
In 1774 England banned guns/gunpowder in the 13 American colonies. Attempted gun confiscation by 8-900 English soldiers in Concord & Lexington Mass. on April 19 1775 started that 8 year war for independence & England almost won that war in 1783!! Guns were temporary confiscated at times in colonial America (1607-1776)!!
Crack down on the criminals. Not the majority of law abiding citizens.
This is the problem with people like you. Do a experienced drug dealer or a “criminal” who have been to prison several times want to kill someone or commit a mass shooting killing 30 people to spend the rest of his or hers life in prison going through the everyday torture in there? No
If we now imagine a “normal law biding citizen” who lets say is depressed and just got dumped by his or hers partner. This theoretical person has mental breakdown maybe on drugs grabs a weapon used for home protection to either kill them self or to take revenge on who ever they blame for his or hers misery by killing it or them? Possibly
It’s never the “criminal” who is the killer, it’s never the criminally obtained gun who is the murder weapon.
Until people understands that the more time it takes for a mass shooter to get hold of a gun, the less likely it is that a mass shooting is to happen.
@@notieming a good majority of those mass shooters never made it to prison. They killed themselves. Law abiding citizens shoot themselves, or they use it against their gf/bf. You’re right about that, but that’s life. Guns are dangerous, and there are consequences to owning them. But it’s imbedded in our constitutio.., to try and take away a specific firearm, or worse, confiscate, will only make things much much worse. Around %40 if Americans own a gun, or live in a house with someone who does. That’s a lot of people, and roughly 40-45 thousand people die a year from gun violence. Nowhere near %40 percent of the entire US population. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. People change, good people turn bad, and bad people can change as well. Educate the public on gun safety and their dangers.
Taking away guns or restricting certain weapons doesn’t help anyone except the criminals. Our country’s culture is so much more different than others. It’s not as easy as other countries have made it out to be
@@thedude1987
If we are talking about mass shooting, gun education wouldn’t do shit. The individuals who commit these acts are often educated and can there for use a gun properly. In general are Americans are well educated which is good when there is so many guns around.
The problem is not that “normal” criminals have guns from the beginning because for a normal citizen, drug dealers running around killing each other is not a big problem. Some may come in the crossfire which doesn’t have anything to do with guns.
I think that biggest problem that gun wielding Americans is that they don’t see the bigger picture.
Let’s say in a hypothetical that in a country with as many guns as America, 30.000 people die from gun related incidences, but with guns we can also save 5.000 lives.
Let’s say that America without guns there is 10.000 people who get killed (which is most likely criminals, which let’s be fair, we don’t really care about), let’s also say that in this world there is 0 lives saved due to no guns.
What every one reading this can see is that with guns there is a 25.000 people difference in saved lives and lost lives meanwhile in a gun free country there is 10.000 difference.
I think that pro gun activist doesn’t care about the 30.000 deaths and will only say “we saved 5.000 people”
Meanwhile we could save 20.000 people by banning guns
This is what I see when reading you original comment, cracking down on criminals will not do anything, because they will always be there
School shooters are not criminals (don’t take that out of context)
Srry if this is a bit rambly
@@notieming I see what you’re saying. Your hypothetical outlook is nice, but this is reality. Taking away guns from law abiding citizens only leaves them defenseless against those who do.
I’m not sure if you want all guns abolished, or just high capacity semi-auto AR-15s, but either way, the basis of the second amendment is self defense. Guns will continue to thrive in the country legally or illegally so long as we have borders that are not secured.
Every person I know including myself doesn’t want to see anyone die from gun violence, but it happens.
Gun deaths will go down when back ground checks become more detailed, and when prison sentences are extended to keep the criminals off the streets for longer. The guns without vin numbers are the only guns that need confiscated. Criminals will not be turning in their already illegal to own guns to the government.
We haven’t banned alcohol or weed, how many people die a year from accident related deaths to those? Is it a right, or a privilege?
Taking away something that has dangerous consequences to those who are uneducated does not help out the uneducated, it only demoralizes and creates bitter tension to the majority of a population that believes in personal responsibility over government protection.
he should stick to car pool karaoke.
The use of the chart was a very good idea, I think a lot of people hear the numbers but can't grasp the true gravity of them.
My secondary school once had a drill about what to do if someone came in with a gun, but it was because alllllll the embassy kids and celebrity kids went there. It was about 9 years ago.
I think Dave Chappelle said it best "Surely you're training the shooter too!"
