When the governor of Texas votes to allow anyTDH to buy guns, he then places teachers to carry guns! THIS MAN HAS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS!
VOTE HIM OUT!
And the people of texas and around America continue to vote for these devils.
tell, That to fox news lunatics and the gop/ nRA
MAGA are not going to support anything that hurts their support therapy weapon of choice... Goooo MAGA... Manipulated American Gullible Aholes (and the like)
The next time elected officials call for "a moment of silence" people should stand up and scream in utter frustration.
We need to do something now don't wait next time
Quit creating victim zones aka gun free zone.
well said
Right on!
In an age of craziness our children are being murdered p
As a Canadian, I believe that when 18-year-old boys wake up in a murderous mood or with premeditated self-defence in mind, their very limited (if any) access to handguns and assault weapons drastically limits or prevents shootings.
Its just good sense.
They should have the option of calling a military recruiter and being made into soldiers and effectively managed.
There is no such thing as a Legal assault weapon. An AR-15 is NOT an assault weapon. It does not have a 3 shot setting or a full auto setting. That is what an assault weapon is. Not what the Firearm looks like. But its capabilities. Any weapon that is not able to be used in a multi shot or full auto mode is not an assault weapon.
@@amercanmade2685 The ar-15 is a fully semi-automatic carbine bolt action sniper rifle.
@@pivomanslovensko Sorry get your facts stright. The AR-15 that can be bought in a gun shop or a Gun Show is not a full auto.
I can't imagine what it must feel like living in a country where anyone can go buy a high velocity assault rifle and one day decide to go on a shooting rampage. Crazy. Americans must be proud to live in a country which gives more importance to the gross profit it makes from its weapon industry than to the lives of its citizens.
Statistics show 80% of the americans population want stricter gun laws.
The problem is their politicians rather support corporations than the citizens.
@@jakejonesish But you don't do anything about it. You go on and on about how "complicated " it is. No it's not! The only reason it's complicated in your country is that you have this idiotic idea that having a gun is somehow tied to your freedom. As a nation, you have put 200 year old Enlightenment ideas on a pedestal, despite the fact that the type of tyranny those ideas were a response to and the tools used to enforce that tyranny are long dead. It's your whole national mythology that's the problem. The forces that threaten liberty today are very different from the forces your Founding Fathers dealt with 200 years ago, but you haven't adapted to that, and the modern tyrants have slipped in unnoticed. As was predicted, they're wrapped in the flag and carrying a Bible. It is a testament to how far your country has deviated from its ideals that a sizable chunk of your population thinks those tyrants in waiting are actually heroic defenders of your Republic.

There's a lot of unique American experiences:
Being murdered at school
Being afraid of cops rather than feeling safe in their presence
Going bankrupt to heal your bullet wound
Way to go, "greatest country on earth".....
Well I said last week, that I will see you this week (10 dead in a super market by white supremacists). Now kids...
Republicans are fine with this because it doesn't happen to their kids.
Again, see you next week for the next mass shooting.....🤷🏾♂️ this is a plan people, domestic terrorism is being openly encouraged and endorsed.
I think we need to pray to white God and ask for forgiveness.
The God that says it's okay to hate people that are different than you.
I have been seeing a lot of white people say that God has a preference for white people and its okay to harm others that dont look like you. We have to get on that Gods good side somehow....🤷🏾♂️
@@endgame213 Hmm, maybe?!?
I’m pretty sure that those experiences are not unique to the US, especially since many Canadians come across the border to get American healthcare, the police in Russia are arresting and rounding up dissidents, and the Taliban is denying Afghan women the right to an education. And what would be the number-two nation to replace the USA as the greatest?
North Korea is better than the USA.
Imagine an entire country valuing guns over babies.
It’s despicable.
Indeed, including unborn babies.
I wonder how many call themselves "pro-life" ?
It's not despicable, it's American. This is who we are.
@@dominiquecarter5055 Deplorables.
That might be a valid point if that were actually the case. However, since no one does, maybe we should focus on the actual issue (the motive for the act) instead of trying to propagate fear of a tool.
As a parent i Can't even imagine the pain of those grieving parents
This is just heart breaking. Recently an American who moved to my country in Europe said: "It is such a relief to know that my children can go to school without fear!" 🙏🙏🙏
The cycle of irony: mass shooting happens -> everyone says that something needs to be changed -> nothing is changed -> mass shooting happens again -> repeat
How does an 18 year old become a proficient killer with no experience? Video training, common thread with these distorted shooters
@@bobperry6450 So....take away the video games but not the guns....right.....
all we need to do is remove gun free zones
@@bobperry6450 How does an 18 year old become a proficient killer?
By having a weapon capable of spraying a hallway with bullets from a safe enough distance that he cannot be stopped until he runs out of ammo. Last time I checked, you can't rack up a double-digit body count with nunchucks, despite there also being video tutorials on how to use them online.
@@bobperry6450 Strangely enough this happens *on a regular basis* only in the US.
Do you think we don't have gamers here in Europe? Well we do.
Do you think we don't have violent TV shows here in Europe? Well we do.
Do you think we don't have firearms here in Europe? Well we do. But they are *well regulated,* and that might be part of what makes the difference.
Just for context, I am a gamer, I have a firearms licence, I am a retired Army Sergeant (range instructor), and I have two sons.
I live in Sydney, Australia. It has a population of 5.5 million people. I’m 55 years old, yet have never met anyone here that owns a gun. Nor have I ever seen a gun store here. America, you have no idea what it is like to live in a country without a gun culture and feel safe.
Used to be one on George street, no idea why The rent was high and there was a wait list anyway.
I live in America, California Los Angeles! to be exact I have never seen a gun, don’t paint a vague picture your not from here.
@@ledogwaterjames4863: There are 20 million guns in California. Wake up!
@@ledogwaterjames4863 just because you've never seen a gun doesn't mean people don't have them there. You're foolish and ignorant
@@jameses4413 And there are nearly 40 million people. If that number is accurate, it means that CA has a very low rate of gun ownership, given the national rate of 1.20 guns per person.
So glad I live in Australia. We had one mass shooting and the community, the country as a whole lobbied for gun control. We have commonsense gun laws. We don't have mass shootings in our schools. Americans need to raise their voices as a community to protect their children.
Well good for you.
Mental health is not important the guns shoot by themselves! Just ban guns that will solve all gun crime and shootings.
It is good...glad you recognize commonsense.
That's what you call proper leadership
there are horrible people in the world, would be nice if that was not true. Why people believe by having guns, it will or they will be able to stop a nut from taking over their country. What it will do is start a revolution of our two party system. The idea is a good one, what really happens is another story. No teacher was armed and kids died, no police officer was ready to go in. We have a country with different people who all have different intentions. You have to be lucky you don't have that in Australia, why I would like to move there, but I see people are moving out of New Zealand to Australia and to other countries, we can't find the perfect place. I have found it due to weather, but not people. Even my original country Spain has problems, if you could arm them, they would start a war in no time. Yet today it's like Japan. Our politicians took money from Germany and now will never be able to pay it back. Is it the people's fault that a politician purposely took money knowing it would cause harm. We can't deal with politicians, if we had guns, we believe they can't take away our rights and land. Today where I live, the police will let a criminal get out of jail immediately. If this shooter killed people in California, our governor would go to give him a prize and even George soros might call him to congratulate him, along with our DA, would make sure he gets out to commit more crime. Every country is in danger of a old man who hates everyone because of what happened to him when he was young, and he would like to change the world into a war zone. When he dies, he son and all the organizations he established will continue his work.
As an ex gun owner, hunter, sports shooting both shotgun, high powered large bore and small. As an Australian I had no issue with the gun buy back and extreme gun laws here. It doesn't put out a fire by throwing more fuel on it. Simply wake the heck up America.

My son has a daughter who just turned 5, and he called me up and cried. He said, "I want to move her to a safer country. Nothing is going to change here and it's just going to get worse. Why is there an inability to have measures that control fire arms?" I cried with him. We all feel the fear. Those kids, school teachers, parents, grandparents, communities - everyone grieving and full of fear. There is nothing fair about this. Nothing.
It's ridiculous. I love this country's mission statement, but I understand you fear.

Random people owning guns is CRAZY I can't even imagine living in a country like that .
That’s how it’s supposed to be Maryland makes it really hard unless you’re certified
And that is EXACTLY the way it should be. No.more BS it cannot be done. Many countries the same as yours do not have our problem. Thanks for the reality check.
Get rid of firearms problem solved!!
I just canceled my vacation, just the thought of being around so many people who maybe carrying guns and some sort of weapons literally caused my anxiety level to increase.
I'm in Wimberley, Texas. The gun store is literally across the street from The Wimberley High School. I wrote our local city a few years back and NEVER heard a word about it. It's totally acceptable to have a gun store next to a school in Texas... SICK!!!!!
You are in Texas. Don't most people have guns readily accessible in their homes anyway?
How is that sick? There are abortion clinics by schools too. Is that sick? Stop gas lighting this.
Honey, remember this silence the next time you vote. These politicians are giving the American people the middle finger, their silence just shows that they don't care.

That would open up another can of worms but at this point I say screw it and bring them back.
How many tent cities do you see abroad? It's not the tool, it's a mental health problem.
In most countries Churches and schools are places people go to feel safe and never worry about being killed.

It's too bad kids aren't taught that they can and will be protected by their teachers or police who are armed.
@@blakethegreatone2058 the normal in America now is to not have enough police to respond in time and teachers aren't allowed to be armed to defend themselves and their students. If I had a child they wouldn't be allowed to defend themselves, in something like this, like I was ready to do when I went to school so long ago. It's time for action, but they are trying to do the wrong action.

Seem a little too convenient that this shooting following the one a couple weeks ago happened before midterm elections...
The fact that this can happen in Texas utterly obliterates the argument that more armed civilians is an effective deterrent against mass shooters.
Shhhh....dont let the Texan gun huggers know it....the facts might get them in a huff.
Amen
No statistic is supporting your claim.
Texas is about to become Fortnite. Still going to be mass shootings.
There's an average of 200 people killed and 472 injured by guns each weekend in the United States, not including suicides. This is according to an analysis done by the Gun Violence Archive for the CDC. That's nearly 3.4 people shot every hour every weekend in the U.S. It makes me sick, but when little children are the victims it GETS ME VERY ANGRY.
Lawrence and Senator, very articulate and heart broken. ASKING YOU FOR ACTION!!
My brother and young nephew just moved to the USA.... my nephew is being homeschooled (non-religious type). I am grateful for that.
I grew up in Iceland in the 90s. Never, EVER, did it even cross my mind that someone could come into my school and start shooting. Why? Because it doesn't happen in Iceland. It has never happened, in Icelands' history. And that history spans 1,000 years. I graduated in 2004. Since then, it still hasn't happened. I honestly cannot wrap my head around being an American child who has to attend school, knowing every day that this could happen. Or be an American parent, to send your kids off to school, knowing you might never see them again. America, what are you doing?
As a U.S. citizen, I keep asking the same questions myself. And with every year that passes, things seem to be getting worse and worse. 😢😓 Peace. ☮️🇮🇸
Nothing, the answer is "nothing", the USA is doing nothing
Iceland had no 'schools' for a long time and has a very bloody history. Go look it up.
@@emsnewssupkis6453 you're honestly trying to lecture me on my own country's history? Seriously? Iceland has had schools for centuries. Not in the traditional sense, children were gathered in someone's home and a priest would do the teaching. And before that, kids were taught outside in nature. And yet, despite all this, over 1,000 years and yet, still no mass school shootings. If you want to know why, you can go and look it up. As for the bloody history, yes Iceland has one. As do all of the European countries. Wanna know why we are not still hacking each other to bits? Or shooting each other to peaces? Go look it up.
@@katrin896 That is not a 'school' and denying your Viking past is crazy. I come from the Viking past, my family became 'Normans' and they had no 'schools' until the Church persuaded them all to set up 'schools' run by the Church. The first real public schools were created by Protestants. Iceland, being very isolated during the Little Ice Age, stayed poor and very rural.
Same shooting.
Same people calling for change.
Same people remaining silent.

I’m from the UK and it baffles and upsets me to see America do NOTHING to prevent gun violence, especially gun violence against innocent children. Watching the coverage of this shooting is heartbreaking. I hope that something changes soon.
One of the leaders Biden met on his trip was the new Australian Prime Minister. We had a number of mass shootings until in 1996 a gunman shot and killed 35 people. The conservative government, in defiance of the protests of some of its base, but with the support of the overwhelming majority of the Australian people brought in a ban on semi-automatic weapons and other measures. We have not had a mass shooting since.
Your country had conviction, bravery, and an actual care for the wellbeing of its citizens. This country does not. Money, power, and influence are all our politicians seek. The massacre of CHILDREN won't do anything to change their depraved minds.

As a non-American this is unimaginable for me. How can you live like this? My country is far from perfect but this? How can you be scared for your life on daily basis? How can EVERYBODY carry a gun? It's like living in a warzone...
Did you know most american kids have mass shooter drills regularly in order to prepare for this? Its sounds insane, but it really is a thing :( no children should have to endure that
Right-wing extremists control American courts. It's that simple.
people here think that only way they can protect themselves from "bad guys" and the tyranny of the big scary government, is to own any gun they want. except when presented with tyranny, rollback of civil liberties, the same people cheer it on unironically. they are the militia of morons, peon patriots. far too many of them .
They all live in a western movie with John Wayne!
Because conservatives have a sexual fetish about guns. And god forbid you even HINT about talking about gun control laws… UUUUUF!
At least 17 were wounded. 2 teachers killed. A 911 call from a young student said 9 were ' still alive '. How many were unharmed? - police office gets waited 45 minutes before going in, waiting for a key to open the door?

Let me put things into perspective here I'm a US Army veteran and in 20 years between Iraq and Afghanistan we lost under 8,000 troops. In the year 2020 over 45,000 people were killed in the United States in one year by gun violence. So it's safe to say it's more safe to be in the actual war zone than to live in the United States at this moment.

Remember how it was like in the 50's before the looney libs took over? Good times...
I'm in Europe and have visited the US many times and it amazes me how guns are considered normal and even essential by so many Americans. It's so ingrained in the culture its going to be hard to change that mindset, which has Americans trapped in suspicion and fear. The opposite of freedom...
the law that made them have the right to bear arms is probably hundreds of years old.....you probably needed a gun then but not now
Slaves don't own guns, free men and women do. Our country was founded on capitalism and the right to bear arms. Of course its ingrained in our country and that's not a bad thing.

That's the only American response, thoughts and prayers and candle light vigils, and that's as far as it goes.
Thoughts and prayers. It began as a cliché. It became a joke. It has putrefied into a national shame.
If Americans do turn heavenward in pain and grief for the lost children of Uvalde, Texas, they may hear the answer delivered in the Bible through the words of Isaiah:
“And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.”
- David Frum, the Atlantic Magazine May 24, 2022
Thoughts and prayers are good, but it needs action in the mix too. 👍
dont forget how good we are at making home made shrines - we love doing that.
@Myke Mynah Every time I hear that coming from someone like Abbott or Cruz I think that we have elected officials who deserve to be voted OUT.
It's ridiculous that stuff like this happens only in America. You rarely hear about this stuff in any other country
Powerful show. Great job.
'A uniquely American way of death' is a chilling statement that should make everyone in Congress stop and think about the gun legislation in their country. NO CHILD should EVER have to be terrified of going to school - NO PARENT should EVER be terrified to send their kids to school. Along with the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, America is hurtling back into the Middle Ages - there are so-called *third world countries* who are more societally mature than America appears to be right now.
Hurtling back to the middle ages? more like the dark ages.
Every single Republican including Manchin and Sinema should be put on the spot anytime a tragic situation like a mass shooting occurs where innocent people are senselessly killed . The constant empty " thoughts and prayers " and yet no action in working towards sensible gun reforms is beyond infuriating. My anger and rage extends to the republican voters who continue to vote for and support these republican politicians knowing that nothing will change just to spite the Democrats.
These so called conservative voters have blood on their hands as well whether they realize it or not.
Lmao. The middle ages didn't try to outlaw bow and arrows or swords. Children back then had to worry about raiders coming and killing their families then being enslaved themselves. Also if you ever go to a 3rd world country you will see atrocities that could have been prevented with guns. It's worth mentioning that more crime has been stopped by guns than have been perpetrated by them.
Yep. Great to help Ukraine fight the Russians in Putin's proxy war, but this country is sinking even with a sane man in the White House. Praying for a solution. Praying for people to figure out what to do; school resource officers, everyone argues about that; virtual learning instead of in-person learning, no one can agree on that; curricula, no agreement on that. When it comes to gun violence we are on the Titanic. "I will not allow my eyes to slumber..." Psalm 132

The cowardice of our politicians was the triggerman.
Exactly!
I'd say the greediness of our politicians that are sacrificing our children for power.
Sadly America keeps choosing party over Country and our children.
No mentally ill person..................as ever............was the triggerman. Maudlin sentimental rubbish. Sentiment has no place in law.

It's beyond cowardice. With exception of Kinsinger, Cheney and Romney to a certain degree, they are all tin foil hat wearin', Q-Anon believin', and bat crap crazy people. I have a bad feeling the GOP will take the upper and lower Houses in the Legislature, because of inflation, very high gas price, and more American treasure sent overseas, instead of that funding being used to help the less fortunate at home. $60 billion on more military adventurism and aggression by proxy. Europeans have been killing each other for 2,000+ years. In every war before America under Woodrow Wilson emerged, they have figured out how to have peace. Let them do it again; they know what to do. They are not stupid. But I sure feel that America got its pocket picked for $60 billion dollars by a know-nothing TV actor who became president, who knows nothing about war, and the resources needed to win one. Instead, Uncle Sugar had to step in and sell Treasury Bonds to the Communists and our WW2 foes, so we can fund this European skirmish.
It's not cowardice, they're super brave when it comes to thumbing their noses at their constituents while they stuff their pocket with gun lobby money.
People will offer up the usual lame “thoughts and prayers” and then will do absolutely nothing about the _reasons_ this keeps happening.
Some people parrot Tot and Pears. And the majority of us vote blue.

I lived through an active shooter incident in college. This phenomenon is a very sad commentary on our society.
No gun should ever be given to some one who cannot control their anger.
Sadly, sooner than we hope to think, another mass shooting will have occurred and this one will have been forgotten.
Mass shootings are usually defined as four or more, which occurs somewhere in America multiple times each day.
@@kennethrohen5963 my old neighborhood was recently one, four shot in one incident.
lets end gun free zones so teachers can fight back.
It depends on the democrats. We heard nothing about shootings until Biden started talking about gun control. This is a very well known tactic.
@@blakethegreatone2058
You didn't hear about sandy hook?
Yes, must be bidens fault...
What about the record breaking massacre at the concert in Vegas?
"But biden 😭😭😭"...
"Senseless act of bloodshed" are considered in the US by some people to be a constitutional right.
Yeah in Neanderthal Republicans mind, it is constitutional right to murder people but it is not a woman’s right to have abortion.
I heard a fellow got a DUI and killed some one now they went on a rampage to outlaw alcohol and automobiles. but did`nt care about the drunk.
The conservatives are extremely proud of it. Possibly because they believe this life isn't important and everyone goes to a magic sky wizard after they die, so they're less inclined to care about a place their holy book describes as a dirty place to wipe your feet.
@@gunfisher4661 really, give us some details like who and where did you learn of this.
No, owning guns is a right. A right is owed to a person.....and you are an unjust thief if you want to take them away. If it has not dawned on you that the people who demand guns be regulated seem to be surrounded by men with guns. ....what am I to say to you? And who stopped it? Why.... men with guns.
And to Biden' remark about Kevlar covered deers, the guns were intended by the founding fathers to keep the government in line. And still are intended for the same.
What is the name of the teacher who left the locked door propped open allowing the mass shooter access to the school building and the victims?
Enough is Enough. We MUST DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
We had a ban on assault weapons once and shooting went down. Then they ended the ban. Sadly.
'They' were Republicans
There was a shooting in Chicago over the weekend, even with the strongest gun laws in the country.
Explain that.
Where do the stat`s show that , no where I`m sure.
@@gunfisher4661 You don't need any stats to know that less assault rifles means fewer successful mass shootings, LOL. It's pretty obvious if you have a brain.
Exactly
Thank you Lawrence for your excellent coverage. Senator Murphy’s speech should go down in history as one of the best of all time.
really? clearly his heart is in the right place but they give zero Fs beyond craven jobbery and power grab opps. asking, ‘what are we doing’ is, without a shadow of doubt, woefully insufficient.🤦🏽♂️
Which party is funded by the NRA?
@Lancelot deflection is not your friend but for sure don’t have to take my word for it.
@@virtualremote agreed and it will not move them unless citizens stage rallies and protests for some serious control laws and with the midterms Looming and the Dems write legislation that that might sway then to do the right thing
@Lancelot This is not the left sunshine..
I lived in Texas for six years with two high schoolers. Our first week there my sons classmate was shot in the back for no reason while sitting in a car. I was terrified for them until the day we left for the U.K.
Lawrence I love your reporting. You are always very professional and yet I feel your emotion. God bless you.
Thoughts & prayers aren't working!
Vote for those who want to change terrors like this!!!
Of course they aren’t working , we kicked him out of this country years ago along with dismantling “the western prescribed family “ as the Black Lives Matter website would say ,the majority of mass shooters come from broken homes
Yes they are.
@@donaldsmith7824 indeed. They are actively maintaining the status quo that allows this to repeatedly happen
Imagine being child, thinking that every day when the school bus comes, it could be a hearse bringing you to your own death. Every single day... day after day... scared to go to school.
It's so sad
this is 100 percent right.
Just think of the poor gun, scared it might be damaged
@@kendomyers What?
Never know when it is your time....anyone can die in car accident , fire, flood, trip and fall down stairs, tainted food, choking, bridge collapse, plane crash, viruses, disease, cancer, infections, hit by car, shot, innocent bystander of crime

Americans need to find out why these events happen and do something about it. This cannot go on. No one should have to fear that they're going to be slaughtered--in a school, in a grocery store, in a house of worship or anyplace else.
"Why are you here?" Well Senator, the majority of your peers are there to make money for their donors and line their own pockets. The others who have an agenda, it isn't the right kind of agenda. They work to crush minorities and women in the name of their religion. Very few of you work in service for the people.
Hi, are you coming to us LIVE from the 16th century?
Exactly! The answer to "Why are most politicians in politcs at all?" is answered fast:
- it's an easy job with future
- almost no knowledge about anything is required (that's what most people think)
- it's a job without doing much actual work
- a big income is guaranted
- and being in a position of power over other people
Serving the public, or forming the society in a positive way is unfortunately not on most politicians agenda...
@@Tommy69deluxe I am to tired to make a detailed response, but I disagree with some of your points. If we want to know where these incompetent and disloyal representatives come from look at your state, Your county. Get involved in your local and state politics. These people come from your communities.
Biden campaigning: “fossil fuels will have no place in my administration.”
Democrats: “why gas so high?”
You mean like how the democrats agenda is to crush real men?
The GOP refers to it as "liberty" and being "Pro-Life".
They're only pro-life for fetuses, once you're born it's open season.
How can MSNBC expect we the people to believe they're interested in our safety when they still promote Hillary and the DNC even after the Wikileaks exposed their pedo pool party fund raisers and then some.
are you a bot? hundreds of comments but zero videos ? I've seen many variations of you convienently on msdnc and cnn videos ! 🤔makes you wonder🤣
@@erikgreeno6136 - I don't feel the need to pontificate on the internet. I prefer the debates. As for being a bot, I could argue the same on the Faux News videos or indeed any right-wing media. The message is taken so directly from the pundits that it is cited with all the repetition of scripture.
Hate to brake the bad news but so do dems. This might shock you but there is no difference between dems and repubs. The fact you don't know that is why nothing will ever change. How can you bring change when you can't even identify the people that are standing in the way?
I'm English I live in London and we as a nation cannot understand your gun laws. We cannot buy own or procure firearms of any description but we can send our children to school knowing they're gonna come home afterwards. You need to get real
Unfortunately, The US never seems to get real, and when it comes to guns, they are totally crazy. They are not yet adults, just little children playing at being alive in the wild west.
If the kid would have had real parents of parents would be held accountable this wouldn't have happened.
If people aren't angry at politicians about this, then I don't know what can make them so.
We are extremely angry at these leftist lunatic Democrats and their anti gun laws, which caused this
American love there second amendment more than humans life
Unless we see the same outrage that was seen after the George Floyd killing....nothing will happen.

This happens in a country that schools others over human rights. These massacres happen very rarely elsewhere.
Thomas Jeremy Visser, I assume you have stats?
@@melodylucas257 you can't look that up yourself? Seriously?
@@melodylucas257 I assume you are able to comprehend reality? Though, it's clear you do not since you need to ask for statistics.
I know...violence is everywhere...but it's different in the USA. It's like a plague and it must have something to do with our unique glorification of guns and using guns (or other weapons) at the drop of a hat. This has been the accepted way of solving our feelings of fear and anger...go on the hunt.....it's your right!
@@melodylucas257 Here's a statistic for you - in the UK there has been ONE school shooting. Following it, the government tightened gun laws even further. Since then there have been ZERO school shootings in the UK.
In the USA school shootings are so frequent that children are being sent with bullet-proof backpacks and have to drill for an active shooter in the same way children in other countries prepare for an accidental fire. And any attempt to change this situation is met by furious lobbying from the for-profit NRA, who's only solution is more guns for everyone, all the time.
Only in America. Children being slaughtered in school has basically becomes a norm. Smh. What does it takes for horrors like these to galvanize mass action against these senseless school shootings? Because schools have been targeted often enough but sadly, no drastic actions have been adopted to curb/address this madness.
When people remove their children from schools, then change will happen. Parents have all the power.
Right on Chris Murphy speak out for wanting to put a stop to what's wrong and making it right, we need more senators like you and that think like you and who has no fear to speak out to his fellow members.
Ya and literally get on his hands and knees and begging.... he was just spouting words too, but you liked them and they made you feel good so he's the answer.......
@@gghhhgghhh3037 hey, he voted for gun reforms after Sandy Hook. Which is *way* more than you can say for the GQP and Manchin. Yes, Joe Manchin voted against *that* too.
@@gghhhgghhh3037 He's right, and you are sick
@@gghhhgghhh3037 wtf are you on about??
Just stop talking. Do it. It's probably time for someone to turn the guns on the lobby and enablers.
It comes down to the fact that those in leadership positions don't care about us ... students and educators are targets of hate, racism, and bullying on a daily basis. I'm retiring after 23 years because my heart can't endure this type of abuse, neglect, and danger.
I pray for healing, peace, and hope for all the families im pacted by these horrific events. May God bless you all. 🙏
Impacted* Glad you’re not teaching my children you Liberal loon.
No it comes down to the fact that Americans have a perverted realtionship with weapons.
It is all THEIR fault we are in grave danger! 🤬 Seriously, when you are in a serious position of leadership, there is no excuse for this level of incompetence.
"What are we doing?" Lying about gun rights in order to pad their freakin' wallets.
May God ease the parents’ pain! That is pure evil
Can you imagine Donald Trump delivering a humane speech like this? Neither can l.
Thats because he has not 1 empathetic bone in his body...
A classic sociopath...
Actually, if you listen to Trump's speeches... he made more sense than Beijjing Biden.

Because you were too busy hating and blaming him for everything.......
That bloviating buffoon would try to make it about him.
@@gghhhgghhh3037 Well, he would have a reaction like "It's a very tragic day... for me personally"
Actual quote from him after a shooting during his administration.
Unless they are directly and personally affected, they will do nothing.
Even then, I don't think they care. More guns is their solution. More guns = more profits.
There are other ways to solve the problem besides guns regs.
@@kw2080 what are they?
Scalia got shot and it didn't change a thing
@@layshad7577 wow. You seem to have asked a real question and are not a troll. Great ! First, let me say, this school was wide open it seems. I know, in some countries, there is fencing around schools such that you can’t just walk in. Keep in mind, I know nothing yet but often it seems they just walk in. I dunno, locks and tall fencing? Other ideas, smart cameras that identify shooters and lock doors, sound alarms etc. google, apple, they can all get a message to me if I post a pic with a product in it-you are going to tell me they can’t make smart cameras to identify an individual with guns approaching a school?!? It always concerns me when lawmakers aren’t concerned with the school safety aspect-just the gun grab aspect. I’m sure there are better ideas out there from smarter people-just my point are there are other ways; bipartisan ways.
when i entered high school, i was so nervous thinking about if i was gonna fit in or if i was gonna have friends. you know the advice i received when asked how to prepare? “always have an escape route. someone in that school is bound to shoot it up one day.” this isn’t normal. this isn’t right.
edit: this was in 2011, one year before sandy hook. before that, i considered school shootings to be: 1. a high school thing, 2. perpetrated by a bullied teen who still went to the school, and 3. not that common. so while this was barely a decade ago, it’s crazy to think that in just that time, we went from a high school freshman not even realizing that school shootings were an eminent threat to elementary kids doing active shooter drills.
Now comment on how and why the teacher left the door open and why the police failed to engage!
It amazes me that so many people who are against abortion are all for the right to bear not just arms but a personal arsonal. Like I've said on many occassions; they're pro-birth not pro-life. what happened to the right to grow to adulthood?
If you want an abortion in America just carry the baby to term and shoot it.
Instead of getting charged, you'll get a book deal and a paid speaking gig at the next CPAC convention lol
I am so glad you said this!!
Baby killer tears are yummy
No. You are kidding yourself, because responsible owners didn't cause this. The troubled 18 yr. old killer who posted himself on social media was being raised by his grandparents. The pro-abortion forces want not only abortion on demand paid by the gov't, but a society of people waiting on gov't to provide for them from cradle to grave using gov't to redistribute the wealth of successful citizens to pull the poor out of poverty.
@@michaelmartinez3500 Oh, well problem solved then. Just make sure that anybody who is troubled doesn't get hold of a gun. If only it was that simple.
I am an American who decided to move to Turkey. People were asking me: Is it safe there? Are you sure??.. It’s the best decision I ever made. Ask yourself: is it safe living in America??
time to get outta dodge - before the repukeliekins wont let us
Same, except Netherlands. Best choice of my life. Wish I did it earlier.
No it is not safe in America. I won’t travel to US again
I travel to South America a lot and people always ask me if it’s safe!! I always tell them its a lot safer there than in the US!
@@cathiea5996 ask the Russians and Chinese about gun confiscation and the Turks if they spared children during the Armenian genocide
EXCELLENT AS ALWAYS LAWRENCE.
Parents of children in school should keep them home in protest until legislators take action as the majority of Americans want them to. If the system isn't working shut it down.
This is heartbreaking, I was helping a customer on the call earlier when I heard his TV background saying about a breaking news where 14 children were killed. I cried during the call and I have to ask the customer to be placed on hold, so that I could calm myself. My nieces are of the same age and they are living in the US. And we are people of color. I feel afraid for the safety of my love ones living there in the US. After the Buffalo incident here we are again. I just hope they go back here in the Philippines so that we could take care of them.
It is hopeless, just a hopeless case that cannot be fixed.
It is not buffalo incident it's mass murder for God's sake tell it like it is
@@Michelle-us3dg You don't think the incident, in Buffalo, NY, wasn't a mass murder?
@@barbram8001 Think that was what Michele was saying. Don't call it the Buffalo incident (like expert on TV did). Call it the Buffalo Mass Shooting.
Rather the Buffalo Mass Murder.
This headline hits home like no other. What a sad, sad, heartbreaking day for America.
Time to TAKE guns off the streets
Is it? Wait till tomorrow.
Just wait a week for the next headlines.
My condolences to the families and hope for laws on firearms to be voted asap.
I cannot understand how GOP can be pro life at birth and be against the control of fire arms. You did not listen to President Obama in 2012 but please listen to President Biden now.
We request China and Russia to take serious actions to prevent Terrorism in USA and eliminate any weapon of mass destruction .
In Missouri, an 18 year cant legally buy alcohol or cigarettes, but can go buy an instrument of mass murder anytime they want.
Evil is everywhere
