- After every school shooting, politicians and journalists tout the latest quick fix - arming teachers, hiring more mental health counselors, making students wear clear backpacks, or even having fewer doors on campus. But this epidemic is far too complicated for an easy solution. William Woodward from the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence at the University of Colorado has a research-backed comprehensive approach. William Woodward is a faculty member at the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence (CSPV) at the University of Colorado-Boulder. He co-authored the Report on the Arapahoe High School Shooting and trains schools in the Safe Communities Safe Schools model developed by CSPV. He is a faculty member for the National Sheriffs’ Institute Leadership training academy. He was Staff Director of The State of Colorado's Division of Criminal Justice and served in law enforcement for fifteen years. In his free time, Bill enjoys road trips with his loving wife. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Growing up I have always been bullied in school. The most common name I as called was a school shooter because I didn't have many friends and was the quiet and shy kid. I went to the administration, talked with them countless times about how bad I was bullied. Of course the admins did nothing to help me and help prevent that... when I was in middle school there as a program called "Rachel's Challenge" which was an anti bullying campaign put in to help students. Yet my school did absolutely nothing to help me... I got really depressed and tried taking my own life.
I am a junior in high school now and things have gotten better.. I don't get bullied anymore and I have friends. But people are scared of me. At first look, people think I am intimidating, and immediately category me, without even getting to know me. I have a really low self esteem, but I always try not to let that phase me.
Long story short, schools need to be aware that things like these really DO happen. The students and everyone else need to start appreciating each other.. all of these bad comments and rumors about someone really does affect them. Greatly.
If you read this and get bullied, please reply to this comment and let's help each other, it sucks not being able to talk to someone about it.
jhhohogpgoj
Exact same at my school. Reports of bullying with nothing done about it. We also had rachel's challenge in middle school and decided to turn it into a kindness club. how many meeting did we have? one. we made posters and got acquainted, then after never talking about it again.
Thanks for speaking up. It's very relatable for me.
Hello
Neurax worm No
Teacher here. This is a beautiful video, and i'm sending it to my superintendent tonight. I hope that this video gets more views and more attention is brought to this program - there are some really wonderful ideas here. The key point I think he made is that we should adapt these ideas and strategies to fit our own schools' climates.
Thank you. Please continue to evolve this program and share it.
You guys don’t even care if you guys stopped bullies in time this wouldn’t happen
Allie, would you vote in favor of your school allowing you and your staff to conceal carry (or some form of having your guns within reach in the class rooms but out of sight from the children. For example in a gun safe.)?
Please get back to this comment :)
Sounds like he's advocating for pre-crime arrests to me.
Bullying is the big issue.
This is an interesting talk, however I was bullied, humiliated and ganged up on by my teachers. I never became violent, but I still have a lot of hatred in me because of that
MrRadical87 dont shoot up the school shoot pop cand and kill the ppl lol
Not everyone is bullied the same, nor does everyone deal with it the same. You can assume everyone is like you, no attack here, I'm only stating my side of my opinion.
Just know that you are a strong survivor of bully, unfortunately a lot of kids aren't and react to bullying in different ways like committing suicide, shooting others, and so forth.
@@pedrotalavera2520 there's nothing 'strong' about being bullied. His teachers and his bullies still see him as a b*tch till this day because he didn't and won't do nothing about it.
@@sophon238 Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is nothing.
But there are different types of bullies. There are those who only want a reaction, and there are others who need to have a taste of their own medicine.
That said, I do not condone any type of violence towards even those bullies. Truly, likewise, there is nothing "strong" about giving in to temptation and beating someone up. Physical strength is just that: physical.
True strength comes from being able to stand your ground against adversity without sacrificing your beliefs or morals. Therefore, the best way to deal with any type of bully is to stand up for yourself without becoming violent (if possible, but self defense is different that initiating an assault).
I think the reason why we haven’t stopped school shootings is because no one has come up with a realistic idea yet. You can’t ban all guns, you can’t end bullying, you can’t take violence out of humans, you can’t lock down and secure every school like a prison. Maybe the answer is out there somewhere, but I haven’t heard it yet
I know that feeling too, I've been pacong around my house trying to find answers to reduce violence.
I remember what my professor did say. "Mental health is as important as my physical
Implode the world.
No humans, No chaos!
Arm select teachers with history of good teaching behavior, no severe mental health history, older than 25.
How about being kind to each other? That's how you prevent them!
That doesn't always help
@Barrack Obama Vlogs Yea Sept maybe school shootings are going on more BECAUSE OF BULLYING
@@drakenpage777 yes it does, do you think that a kid from a school were there aren't any bullies and everybody in that school is friendly and nice is going to shoot up that school?
@@stuff5757 exactly.
School shooters are more likely to be bullies then get bullied...theres often reports of them scaring other students and teachers with threats of violence...so not sure being nice is the answer
We do tell. People just ignore students
It all starts with bullying. An act of revenge.
Except that alot of the shooters are bullies
@The Millennial Gamer bruh just cos they get bullied doesn't mean they're the ones to decide the punishment. Shooters are being unfair by taking away lives
@@ashleigh9659 That’s not true most of the time the people who cause the school shootings are people who have been hurt by other people and might have been bullied
@@theforcelockgamer2972 almost everyone in the united states reports being bulled. When you ask classmates school shooters are reported to exhibit behavior that makes their classmates wary of them, most notably their obsession with violence. Dylan klebolds mom talks about all the warning signs the school waved away. The media dropped the ball and made a bunch of assumptions and those have been carried throughout the last 25 years.
@@ashleigh9659 not true at all. They are the fed up.
Parents need to raise the kids right and be involved in their life. Parents do not know who their children are anymore.
It all starts in the public school system. Outcasts and unpopular kids being singled out from the rest and feelings of loneliness it all fuels the anger towards society that they feel they are not apart of.
Gun laws won’t fix psychology issues.
It all starts from childhood and schools, we need to identify the “clicks” in school and forcefully mix in the kids with other kids on school projects and stuff like that, for example, when u have a class project in school and the teacher says ‘lalright everyone, get into groups of four with your friends “, but not all kids are social and you’ll see the shy nerd kid sitting by himself can’t find a group of friends to pull him in. Etc
ooor just fight back! Bullies don't attack people theyb know will engange in combat as soon as they smell BS. The solution is rigjt there!!! in front of your bloody nose!!
Wrong. Everything that is goin on today....kids being singled out etc. Has been going on forever. I was born in 73'...we handled things differently in thise days.....WITHOUT GUNS!!! Alot of kids today are mentally ill. Period.
@@mnvikings1973 probably because people had morals back in the day
"Outcasts and unpopular kids being singled out from the rest and feelings of loneliness it all fuels the anger towards society" Dude you just describe me lol. I don't like socializing and sometime have anger about the society I live in which is Vietnam(communist state where individual freedoms is not respected).
@@VeryProPlayerYesSir1122 same, feel relatable
Schools need to be informed about the home lives of students. A school can have a safe, inclusive, judgement-free and educated climate, but if a student goes home every day to a toxic and unhealthy home with access to weapons, there is still danger present. School administration and teachers have to tow the line between professional distance and effective part-time guardians, and as someone studying education, I see that as one of the most pressing issues.
No, the school doesn't need to be involved to that level.
I’m going to share this with my grandkids schools. I worry constantly now. My grandsons now afraid to go to school. When the children are scared, there’s a bigger problem. I’ve started finding ways to help the schools prepare for this with new ideas. This video is helpful too. Thank you.
Who's here after the Oxford High shooting in Michigan?
Me
That could've been prevented.
Texas, Uvalde May 2022.
Wow great speech. You are impressive as you focused on solving the problem with solutions instead of blaming the mentally ill or assault weapons
I remember my elementary school put me on medication because I had adhd. I immediately didn’t like how the meds were affecting me couldn’t get through to my mother because in her mind schools know more then me I told my sister and she convinced my mom to take me off the drug because she took herself to proof a point the medication was making me ill. Imagine schools having the power to put kids on meds and the parents stupidly allowing this to happen that’s the problem not guns or anger is the schools they put kids on meds simply so they can make more money of that child I say make the school responsible for every shooting it’s not the guns fault the schools are supposed to be educational not for profit I guess we forgot that. Point investigate the schools and punish them for pushing drugs on kids that don’t need them at all. Sadly our politicians just want to ban guns so they’ll use anything to their advantage even the blood of our youth but I guess people are that blind now a days not to see that. Long rant I know but that’s my story I stopped my meds because I knew I didn’t need them my sister was smart enough not to allow the school to repeat the mistake with her son.i was smart enough back then to fight my mom on it and thank god I had my sister to back me up stop giving in to these schools they don’t know more than you.
It angers me that people say the only solution is getting rid of guns all together.
That scares me that they can't actually address the whole problem. It's not only that these kids are commiting heinous acts with guns it's also that these schools did none of the blatant precautions to prevent.
These people will call out for help and they'll make their last attempt to find it, if they're lucky, help will find them, but the one's left in the dark will completely shatter and feel like they have absolutely nothing to lose. When one feels like they're nothing, what is there to lose?
They could easily be prevented and the schools that have them almost always had a sign. I live in an area smack dab in the middle of all these other schools like Columbine and STEM and from what I know, my school does a good job of treating people with respect, seeing signs, talking to people, and getting these people the help they need. During COVID-19, so many things are happening in everyone's lives that depression crowds them. Our school had to revamp their resources into helping these kids with their depression, thoughts, and experiences in the last couple of months but it's becoming ever clear that people fear the dark thoughts in each other's heads. So many dark things happen behind people's stare, so many things are happening back at their home, a lot of people fear that one might break.
I kind of vented a lot here. But these school shootings are preventable in so many ways that medias fail to address. I like William's take that taking that pill to lower that blood pressure is good and all but not as good as starting a diet. This goes for banning firearms, because the real solution really starts with you and your school's response to these students turmoil.
It's not about getting rid of guns. It's about restricted access to assault weapons. That's not the same thing. There is no reason teens should have home access to such deadly weapons.
@@yolandawilson6619 That's mainly because of careless parents who think their children are competent enough to have direct access to them.
No kid should have direct access to firearms and their parents should lock them up in a secure safe. Most school shootings are caused by horrible practices from parents who leave their guns out for anyone in the house to grab.
@@yolandawilson6619 That's funny. I'm pretty sure they already can't buy them.
@@Quinold Agree!
@@truecatholic8692 Having access isn't the same thing as having the ability to purchase. Having access simply means they can get their hands on the guns and in these shootings, most of the guns were purchased by parents and kept in the homes. The others purchased guns online which is still a problem.

Its parenting. 10 hours of video games n tablets isn't good parenting. Also kids under 18 shouldn't have social media
End the bullying and things like school shootings wouldn’t exist. All these shooters were bullied by their peers and or classmates.
Not to mentioned bullied by their teachers.
God bless you for the work you are doing. If possible, I’d like to get more information on how to bring your program to Ventura, California and the, “Ventura Unified School District”.
Monitor all outside doors with buzzers that go off in office when doors are opened or ajar! Don't allow doorstops to be used! That defeats the safety feature that automatically locks the doors! 😐
How are these gunmen able to bring weapons inside the school? There should be a higher security in entrances to prevent it too
My heart goes out to all the parents no one should ever have to bury their child God I can’t think of anything more horrifying I stand with all of you in solidarity for my heart weeps for you but know you’re sweet summer rose well blossom once more in the fields of Elysian we’re all heroes walk in tranquility and in peace Evermore 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Failure to seize his computer for watching school shooting videos? The Constitution must not matter much to this guy. I am watching his Ted talk about a school shooting right now. So are they going to take my phone? Get a grip. Reporting non crimes to the government? Sounds Orwellian.
Getting involved was a good idea, closer relationships with students is a great idea. Listening to the student and faculty to better understand how it happens and what allows it without getting them in trouble is an excellent idea. In general the people that are closest to the problems know the most.
1. I’m gonna guess it was a school-provided computer, so it was their right to take it away. If so, then this was a failure on their part. If it was a personal computer, then yes that’s a different story, but not many students can bring a personal computer to school. (At least at any school I’ve ever been to)
2. I think they meant actual footage of shootings (Like the security cameras at Columbine captured parts of the actual shooting) not videos relating to shootings, like this one.
Not trying to sound like I’m arguing, just saying there may have been a misunderstanding in what he was saying.
@@jordanbaker9390 I hear you but subjective rules are dangerous. Freedom is not having to defend yourself for legal actions. I have watched numerous shooting videos. I want to understand what causes them and how they unfold. I hate that people resort to violence.
Does that mean the ministry of Truth should come and visit me?
If you haven't already, I would encourage you to read 1984. Orwell does a much better job than I could of illustrating the means and dangers of thought control and censorship.
Full disclosure: I once had the fact that I am a former soldier used against me as I had the potential to be dangerous. I hadn't committed a crime. Having my service used as a "red flag" disgusted me and turned me off this way of thinking.
Elizabeth Swann - I thought you may had just misinterpreted what he was saying, but I understand your POV now.
And I totally get that the system can mislabel people as threats for silly factors. I had a friend a few months back get called to the school office to talk about some complaints against him - basically he’s a huge gun nerd. Loves guns (Not in a super extreme, “don’t touch my guns” kind of way, just has a passion) Also very passionate about going into the military. So he talks about guns a lot and some people went to the school and talked to them about it. Luckily the staff know he’s not a threat and just has a passion, but it still can be a problem. I do believe that there is more we could be doing for this issue, but you may be right that some ideas may lead to issues with freedom / quick assumptions.
I will look into that book if I have a chance, because it sounds interesting.
Very Good
It's the hearts and minds of people that must change

I think a safe room at each entry at schools would help. A room or small building that a person would have to go into before they are allowed to enter the school that would have the metal detector in it, and a security guard that would be inside the school watching that person would have to open the door for the person before entry.
That would not fix the cause, just the symptoms. Revenge will happen during events outside of the school, at informal gatherings, parties... If the cause (bullying) is not treated the problem will just evolve.
The person can pull out the gun in the room itself
@@shreyanshdhakad7568 but if there's a trained guard there they can stop them so long as they are armed
Yeah I’ve got a great idea why don’t we hire a minimum to combat veterans to pull security in schools they’re armed with bulletproof vests AR 15s and two handguns and if there’s somebody that wants to come in there and kill people will be shot immediately
double doors,controlled remotley.....all prisons have them.
Several years ago a school shooting occurred at the high school I attended. Except this shooting was done by the school resource officer (also a local police officer) who shot and killed a deranged man who entered the school, following a student who was late getting there. The school immediately went into lock down and the resource officer confronted the man who was armed with guns and intent on using them, in the hallway. She tried at first to diffuse the situation but when she was unable to do so she shot & killed him before he could endanger anyone else. The school was Sullivan Central High School in Blountville, TN. The officers name is Carolyn Gudger, and in my hometown she is a hero. She is the perfect example of what a school resource officer should be. A courageous woman who did her job, putting her life on the line for the students/faculty she was hired to protect. I was very disappointed that there was not a lot of media attention surrounding this incident, except for locally of course. I just really wanted people to see what a difference having a well trained, courageous police officer who takes their promise to protect and serve seriously on campus can make in these situations. I share this story so that the world will learn about this hero that is among us by the name of Carolyn Gudger

School shooting is dangerous because it's not a 1v1 violence, shooters use the projectile weapon because they are planning to attack multiple or random people from distance.
It all comes down to multiple offenders or the school system mistreating him/her. If you are talking about "prevention" you are no different from the offenders. The system tries to stop the shooter because it's just one person, easy to pick on...
that's worse than not doing anything, to be honest.
Even I'd your school will suspend you, best up or swear the he'll out of the bully, go personal if you have too.
You will be punished most likely but the school won't do anything about bullying, plus a swollen eye and ptsd giving words will make your bully stay away
I watch these things so I know actually what to do if it does happen to me or my friends. Everything is possible, even the bad things. My school doesn’t teach me the actual steps on what to do in a real situation so it’s always important to prevent it. It is sad for me for sure, but it is the generation I live in and it’s always good to have my own plan that could function. With these videos I can understand ways that it can be protected and my friends at school.
Why Teddy Talks videos about shooting has less views? It should have been over 1 million views!
Ted x Talks
Been watching your videos from TEDx but let say a neighbor kid was getting into his car and I saw a gun. So now what do I do when I'm older with no kids what do I do with info
The metal detectors he alluded to as being insufficient?? - Where IS this done at? Isn’t this done more in the high density areas typically, where there’s a lot of street violence etc (Unrelated to the setting found in many of the middle school shootings!)?
Don't pick on the quiet kid. Thats how.
Its the community not the schools... Schools cant fix that
Give me the answer and give it to me NOW!!!
That's the gist of how we approach everything these days. No one wants to hear about accountability, effort, time consumption or taking personal responsibility. That's why all of this is going to just keep happening.
i particularly like the " search for a motive" meme....gives all the cops and professionals and media something to do after the horse has left the barn.......
Not even one word about gun control. It's like talking about firefighting and not talking about fire extinguishers. What a rip off! By the way, didn't buy those NRA tears.
My idea is that for home room, have that class be lead by a teacher who has training in child therapy. Everyday starts with home room. Everyday have children talk about their previous day, and their plans for the present day. Write out their feelings in a journal, and share a portion with the group. Get to know each other intimately as a group lead by a professional. Not every kid had the ability to make friends, but with the help of a teacher who really cares about their life outside of school, a group can be formed with a mentality of belonging.
My suggestion any kid u think is a school shooter check 4 there iep call all of there previous schools and look to see if they had been instituted in the mental health facility or child protective services call all there previous schools asking learn if this is true get facts paper work dont call the parents parents often try to cover up the damage the caused the students they cover it up and they lie especially if they transfer from other states get facts not testimonies paper work DONT ASK PARENTS
What did they edit out?
1 entrance is a nightmare solution.
Security guards should be in all schools in America, and security checks on all individuals before entry! Gun Violence in America is out of control! 😢
All in all, it is hopeless. But continue with all your ideas.....
Not all who was bullied became school shooters, but all school shooters was bullied.... =(
Everybody thinking that the bullied kid is the shooter is kind of ridiculous.
Are you going to cite your sources? Like, /any/ of them? Because if not, then be quiet. Lol

Hello 2022
Gives me hope, there is a way forward that is below the surface. I am going to send $100 to the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence at the University of Colorado. Thank you.
individual vs the collective
It's a step in the right direction, but not an end all solution. Unfortunately administrations at these schools do nothing until the person getting bullied blows up, and then they're the ones the schools try to punish, not the bully. Also in today's world many kids aren't just getting bullied by the kids in school, but also by the parents of the bully and many adults employed by the school. I've seen it first hand with my children and their friends. When my kids stood up for themselves, I warned the schools that if they did nothing to prevent it, I've given my children permission to put a stop to it. Also warned them if they went after my children, I would sue them personally along with the school system. Yes my children ended up putting a stop to it and the school administration put their tails between their legs and did nothing to my children.
That wasn't the last school shooting in Colorado......FYI
It won't be stopped after all this is the main driver for gun control idea whether all shooting is planned directly or undirectly
Well maybe if teachers and other peers had better insight on their students or maybe if kids stop bullying each other for simply just existing there wouldn’t be school shooting like just be a decent human being it shouldn’t be that hard
Although an older video, this analysis is a bit narrow as it doesn't consider the fact not all school shooters are students there as we saw in both Sandy Hook & Uvalde more recent. (They are external threats that have a past connection there having been prior students.)
Nearly all blinkered here,just get rid of the guns!
Americans are great at debating non-debatable points like Plato and Aristotle only to arrive nowhere near what they really should do. Non-hunter guns must be banned. The police needs to find alternate forms of neutralizing people. This is why a first step is to change the political and governmental structure of the nation to add a third political party.
I have the perfect solution if you want to avoid a school shooting: home school!
Interesting!
It is maddening that these shootings are only growing. The Oxford shooting was preventable!! All the drills and high tech safety measures in the world will not stop a kid from being violent in a school. The school needs to know ALL of it's students, danger signs that students and teachers see need to NOT be ignored. Schools need to search backpacks, lockers, and be insistent on safe, non threatening behavior. How many more senseless deaths is this nation going to have? This guy makes total sense. Yes, hold negligent parents responsible, yes, change gun laws. But we all know the NRA has no interest in being helpful, so preventing these shootings by changing the school climate so that staff are connecting well and listening to each other and students and parents is imperative. Parents should not be sending their kids to school to be murdered.
If you feel like you want to shoot someone at School I recommend you get therapy or talk with someone you know.
Stop school
Ban schools. Schools are like prisons.

@@VeryProPlayerYesSir1122 Schools may not be the best , but "MOST" Schools aren't even prisons. The School System should be fixed and teachers should be trained properly.
Studies show there have been zero school shootings during the summer, fall, winter, and spring breaks. I think you're on to something. /S
Yhe problem is Americans live in a segregated community. Information flow is almost non existent since you dont know the other kids' parents, they all drive around obliviously, kids have distance from friends just due to suburban lifestyle, everything iw about separation and that leads to disassociation and feelings of resent and hate. Of course you cant control all of that but other countries don't have these intense levels of community failures
I am epileptic and was relentlessly bullied by both my pears and teachers, personally I’m more stable than most people because I follow the philosophy that if someone is better than me why would they have to keep telling me. Truly the reason so many kids do school shootings is because they feel it’s the only way out, they’re constantly getting physically/verbally abused by there pears and perhaps even there parents. To truly prevent school shootings we need teachers to actually stop bullying rather than look the other way or make excuses like saying it’s just horse play.

Because this guy said "Failure to seize his computer for watching school shooting videos?" which means this guy doesn't believe in the constitution.
What about the fact that a huge and disproportionate amount of shooters are from unstable and fatherless homes? The patterns of these shooters are so clear that even the least perceptive among us can see them. Typically a loner, didn't have many friends, history of bizarre and disturbing behavior, self mutilating, home life is not stable, biological mother and/or father have criminal records. The systemic problem is unstable homes without fathers! We all agree our objective is to produce fewer young men who do horrible things. We agree it is not a simple policy fix. Put fathers back in homes! Fathers and mothers play integral roles in the spiritual and emotional formation of a child. Stop playing into this left wing cultural narrative that forces us to deny the distinction between men and women, thereby, mothers and fathers. Stop ignoring the role and the formation of the family plays in children's lives. Even if it forces you to look critically at your own family structure.
It really is horrible to lose a child, and teachers need to reevaluate themselves and their approach to these children. They are as responsible as the parents are too.
@Devin Aguirre Meza more will happen when school opens up
Lmao no I didn't raise their child. I get them an hour a day. Ignorance at its finest.
This man has some strong Walter White vibes, he knows he's right and he's kind of peeved that you don't already know what he does.
Many of the kids are having psychotic reactions to the THC in all the pot they're smoking in Colorado. Funny he doesn't mention that or the psycho-active drugs kids are put on. And we had bullying in my school, but nobody ever got shot! We just settled it on the playground. Also, the guy giving the presentation looks like he's depressed himself.
Well no one says they have too
There's a probability, it's not if someone's sad there gonna kill you
If the right person gets the right mood and the right environment with the right resources it can happen
Listen to children who need to be listened to more and maybe try banning AR-15s
Mr. Marcus I’m not saying that’s the only gun we should be. I just said it because it was the first fast firing killer one that came into my mind and I needed an example
Mr. Marcus That’s a good idea as well. At the very least they should make it so cannot own a gun if you have a criminal record or are, you know. A god damn minor which should be common sense
Mr. Marcus Okay it’s clear that I’m not somebody who knows enough on this subject so can we just end it there and just say I left a bad comment?
@@elephantpowerproductions I agree with you :)
@@elephantpowerproductions no you made a beautiful comment that supports anti-bullying and helps prevent school shooting, you are a beautiful thinker :)
I review shootings online I sure hope no one thinks I would kill anybody
What's wrong with making it harder for EVERYONE to get guns? Why does everyone in the states think that they MUST have guns? Make it illegal for anyone under 18 to have a gun. Make it illegal for someone with a mental health problem to have a gun. These two things will stop a lot of shootings. Remember, not everyone needs a gun! So stop handing them out as if they were Happy Meal toys!
The age requirement already exists.
Further, 18 U.S.C. § 922(d) prevents the sale of firearms to people with known mental illnesses.
Get off CZcams and go read a book.
I agree. We already have some requirements but I can't get why everyone needs a gun. And I live in the states. And I've been in a situation where a gun was held to my head. Yet I don't get it. The 2nd amendment was put in place back when it was also a thing that you had to let people fighting the war stay in your house with you. There are no wars on american ground. No situation where every american needs to own a gun whatsoever. I get you may feel safer but there's a billion other precautions to take. Unless you're a police officer, person in war, or a security guard, there is no reason to own a gun other than hunting. And you do not need an ar-15 or any similar weapon for shooting a deer.
It's called the Bill of RIGHTS, not the Bill of NEEDS, is not an a la carte menu. And, quite honestly, your opinion and feelings don't trump my rights. YOU, for instance, don't NEED to speak. But it's your RIGHT. And here you are.
I've also used a gun to PREVENT what happened to YOU. And not a shot was fired.
It's actually quite selfish to expect paid strangers to come riding to your rescue when things go bad. What kind of person wants to wait 22 minutes, the national average police response time, when they could defend themselves? A gun in the hand is worth an entire police force on the phone. But hey, stay defenseless. I'm sure it's noble or something.
Um I'd much rather wait for the police who are trained to use their weapons than shoot someone myself and deal with that for the rest of my life?? And since when is your RIGHT to own a gun more important than people's RIGHT to be alive. Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and the Declaration says governments are created to protect those rights. So when does your right to own a gun trump every single kid that's dying from a shooting's right to live?
@@nostolgiac So what you're saying is I shouldn't have the right to defend myself against a criminal just because they have the right to live?
I'll keep my legal Glock in the holster while you wait for the police..
But remember, not even the police have an obligation to protect you..
Arm our teachers is the idea of a caveman
Banning all guns is the idea of a tyrant.
@@VeryProPlayerYesSir1122 yeah only tyrants want that but i dont trust a teacher with a gun, only let teachers that already have concealed weapon permit and maybe get them interviewed by a psychologist
Security guards should have em, there actually paid to use the gun for good
One day, my wife was reading about home burglaries in our zip code. She got concerned (to put it mildly). That day, I ordered a steel door, and went to the hardware store to purchase products to reenforce the other doors on the house.
I guess I should have gotten involved in community self help and positive role modeling for teens and people in gangs - so they could have more self esteem and pursue careers instead of breaking into homes to get things.
Silly me.
Two different things
No.1: Replace classroom doors with panic doors effectively making all classrooms, libraries, dinner halls, assembly rooms panic rooms! No.2: All schools should have at least two armed security guards, with one at the school gate, and one at the main door provided by and paid for by the government or tax payer! No.3: Make having automatic weapons illegal, nobody needs that kind of weapon in their home! No.4: Homes should have a safe room for any guns with electronic door/keypad so weapons are always out of reach of children.
Automatic weapons are illegal moron.
"at the school gate" you see the problem here is most schools don't have front gates. MOST schools are actually comprised of multiple different separate buildings on on school grounds with dozens of different entrance points. If schools actually hade a border wall built around them with secure checkpoints that people have to walk through in order to enter the school grounds while class was in session then schools would in fact be a lot safer.
130000 schools in US, x2 equals and "army " of 250,000 donut munching Guards,who will probably not be effective anyway when confronted by a suicidal teen in body armor....if another school shooting happens,they still get paid
Just build lol
Or we could arm all students getting in the proper training and screening psychology may not treat him so badly maybe it wouldn't happen
how about a law that doesn't allow even 10 yo kids to buy assault rifles like its candy ?
10 year olds can’t buy firearms
@@seanb6986 true but they can find them in their home if their parents own one
Kayla Johnson and everyone has kitchen knives you think mass stabbing a don't happen ? Also if parents would be parents this wouldn't be an issue
First of all, you have to be 18 to buy a gun. That’s federal law. Second of all, you have to have a background check
You should really check your facts first
Guns, guns and guns. The United States has a distorted fetish with this weapon, making it easier than any other developed nation to obtain it. Why? Business. I grew up in an Italian and a Korean school as a child and have been bullied at both. However I didn’t have parents with a gun in their drawer, not that I had those tendencies anyway. Also, I adored first person shooters as a kid, but never had a moment where I thought acting that in real life would be a possibility.
Finally this program presented by this man is compelling, but just does not address the root problem.
- NOT VIDEO GAMES
- NOT MENTAL ILLNESS
- NOT BULLYING
- NOT PREVENTIVE ACTS
All these things are very present in other countries as well
> EASY ACCESS TO GUNS < as well as guns engrained in the Culture of the U.S.
Wake up cowboys
So when some mentally ill maniac remembers that other people can't get guns because they're illegal, he walks into a mall and kills 100+ people with no consequences, or what if he walked in and someone had a gun and saw what he was doing and shot and killed him from the back, now he only killed like 1-2.
"The United States has a distorted fetish with this weapon" wrong.
well i once saw a kid sell glocks at school that werent legal guns and their parents were illegal sooo.... your statement makes no sense thats just like saying making murder illegal will stop murder, murder is illegal and still happens
"ban all the guns so only criminals have them'"
They is a lot of evidence to show you are wrong.
this is saying lies. love from india
He's right on every aspect. However some common sense gun laws would help a lot.
His point is there is so much more that can be done to help the situation that everyone can agree on. Why spend all this time arguing on things people cant agree on? Its not helping
Not really
@@tysonhansen805 when there is a school shooting everyone jumps to the gun control topic and the debate begins. Yet he doesn't mention it once in his talk
Tyson Hansen
The mountains of evidence say different. What other country on earth has as many gun related crimes as the US?
@@infopackrat they have more knife related crime though. Ban the knives?
What about the guns?
What about the person doing it? He/she is the constant.
@@ekl2947Self defense is a right.
don’t be on the side of history that chose their guns over innocent lives.
way more many lives are saved than taken by guns it’s statistically proven. You can’t just take away guns it will never work.
Reelzy Lani has a simply solution to a complex problem.
@@reelzy6831 I'm not sure I believe that when I've 60 percent of gun related deaths are suicides
Access to guns increases suicide rates
@@Yetaxa and suicides are bad because?
