- Seven minutes and nine seconds was all the time it took for an active shooter to take 17 lives at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida on February 14, 2018, one of the deadliest mass school shootings in the United States. To say it changed a community would be an understatement. After all, the once “safest” town in Florida, was penetrated by immeasurable sadness and grief. And yet over the past 12 months, the world has witnessed how the strength of an entire community turned a tragedy into forceful action and positive change.
PARKLAND: HEALING A COMMUNITY AND A NATION takes viewers behind the scenes of the Parkland tragedy to witness the birth of the most powerful gun reform movements in U.S. history. The documentary focuses on illuminating the unsung heroes; the pro-active individuals made up of Parkland parents, teachers, families of survivors and the students who are using their creativity towards healing and understanding, not just for their beloved town of Parkland, but for their community and their country.
And then there are the stories of several Parkland individuals, whose stories of healing others are documented over the course of a year, beginning with the tragedy. Andrea, the sister of victim Joaquin Oliver dedicates her time and efforts to a charity project in her brother’s name. Mother and artist Nava Lundy feverishly paints the portraits of the 17 victims and lovingly delivers them to their bereaved families for comfort. Finally, Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Melissa Manchester dedicates an anthem to the students and with the help of teacher Stewart Rabin, they bring survivors together to sing the song “We are the Fire.” The documentary culminates in a crescendo at an emotional public concert a week before the one year anniversary of the shooting.

My sister moved from London to Florida, and she chose Parkland because it was a safe neighbourhood with wonderful schools. What a tragic irony it was when my niece, Helena Ramsay lost her life that day! RIP, Helena! You will never be forgotten!
Fake news
You proved against your own point. London has banned everything but butter knives and florida is considered safer. Children are hurt all over the world. It wont end until they guard school like we guard government institutions and politicians.
so sorry, we are trying to do better but limited by the "god given right" people. These weapons should not, could not be on the streets without the help of lobbyist, elected officials andof course the GGR people. Even the LEOs agree but are too afraid to speak up. This is what America has become.
@@voice2skull. Yeah, I wish it were. I'd still have my niece!
@@lindabrown3893 Leo's definitely don't agree. Russia and China would attack the moment ya'll destroyed all the guns. Our politicians are compromised and you want to give them a monopoly on violence. All of the politicians that want to take my guns have armed security.
It’s still so shocking how these school shootings & mass shooting's keep on occurring in the USA. (I know they happen in other countries aswell).
The USA is the leading country that has school shootings & mass shootings almost on the regular, a country that cares more about guns then it’s own citizens especially children’s lives.
The usa needs to step up and make the change..
No school shootings in uk 🇬🇧 since1996 first one none since changed our gun laws. Thank goodness our children don't have to live in fear of being murdered at school as its normal for them to live like this.
No, no they don’t. It is an America problem.
Writing from America.
School shootings happen more often in the United States due to lack of gun control.
When a shooting happens in another country, gun laws are IMMEDIATELY changed, become more strict.
Nothing happens in the United States because the NRA has insinuated itself into politics.
Because in every other country, when a mass shooting happens, restrictions are IMMEDIATELY put in place.
In the United States, the GOP would rather continue to receive monies/support from the NRA.
@@Quaker-tc8ueperfect comment! America is really lacking gun control that’s why they need to be more heavily restricted
I am glad to see so much good come from such a tragedy. I am amazed by how brave and articulate these kids are. ❤️
Cruz is very strong
@@javedikram9499 yes.
LOL. FAKE.
Nik Cruz got life in prison.
It's so funny to me how this question gets asked after every school shooting but not once has it been said after the much higher number of gang related shootings...
Yeah you're right goof
Because cops don’t fear pistols the same way they fear semi-auto rifles, genius
Faster kills, longer range, insane penetration. Uvalde is going to keep happening everywhere
@@corpsefoot758 You think gang shootings are done with pistols?? This isn't the 70s anymore. They will often use fully automatic weapons. And cops? Yeah cops will normally wait until the shooting stops before going in and that's if they go in at all! Because most of the time they don't.
Because if they said it after the numerous gang shootings, they'd have to admit that guns aren't the problem.
No one is ignoring gang related shootings.
Here's the irony.
There's people out there that think it's a bad idea for teachers to have guns.
The shooter wrecked his car, and actually WALK to the school.
Just think if there was someone with a gun to intercept the shooter.
One person could have stopped all of this.
But...we have people that will whine and cry when the topic of teachers carrying guns comes up.
You're thinking of the Uvalde shooting, when the shooter wrecked his truck outside and began shooting at people outside, then walked to the school and entered through a faulty security door. So yes, one person could've stopped that shooting. Whatever administrator knew about the faulty door and did not get it fixed, that person potentially cost 21 people their lives. In fact, the terribly slow police response had only a limited effect on the death toll. That doesn't make it okay, but the majority of the blame should be on the school itself.
I’m not whining/crying, but you are showing yourself to have the mind-set of a vigilante, which is not helpful, either.
In every video I’ve seen related to school shootings, the mantra is “run, hide, fight.’
The last, ‘fight.’
Throwing something at the shooter would be/could be enough of a distraction to disarm.
Of course it’s a bad idea, there’s no need for anyone to be having guns in schools let alone at home…look how many people have been killed or injured due to gun crime..yes the UK has a knife crime problem but more people are being murdered by guns…why does a gun have more rights then children or men/women…
I remember the that day it happened it started right after I got home from river glades elementary my sister was in west glades middle school my mom was crying and we were all just started horrified into the tv hoping she lives

When your own guns have killed more of your own nations people than have killed your nations enemies at war, I think that may be a benchmark figure to draw judgment from.
Brother, these NRA losers are willing to sacrifice children for their own tacticool hobby
If basic morality won’t reach them, statistics are doomed to fail from the getgo
Its a hood thang
You have any ideas on what would help?
Let's hear what you think the best plan of action is...
Remember, our starting point is an estimated 1 BILLION guns owned by citizens in the US.
I have 3 or 4 ideas I think would help a lot but I want to hear what you think
You're picking philosophies out of thin air-
Domestic gun violence hasn't killed more people than have been killed in times of war.
No we have a mental problem
No
Please educate yourself on mental health, and it isn’t only mental health.
Many of my friends (I believe in quality over quantity) have mental health issues, but none of them think the solution to any of their problems is to buy a gun, commit murder.
The GOP would rather get monies/support from the NRA than pass gun restrictions, and many gun shop owners/dealers are too lazy to run background checks.
@@Quaker-tc8ue I know right they are just letting people buy guns and buy cash and go out but they don’t realise they are not restricting people from guns with deeper background checks and criminal records and yes they are too lazy to check but they just wanna make money with guns
@@Quaker-tc8ue LOL. Ok. Tard.

Amen. NRA is slowly devolving into a deathcult
The money spent on anti gun lobbying is way way more than the so-called gun lobby. Also gun manufacturers make less money than most other non gun companies.

I noticed that too...but I believe it was meamt to illustrate or recreate how she did her painting
@@mgbrio5439 that's exactly what it was, and entirely unnecessary on an interview about school shootings.
This is proof how confused adults really are...
That depends on your definition of ‘adult.’
I know ‘tweens’ who are much more mature than ‘adults,’ but i also know ‘adults’ who have the maturity of toddlers.
I was in Chicago for this, im 40. It was the most amazing thing. Sadly, our government and officials have let all of you down. I wont get into what i went through when it happened in my nieces school. Not something i can talk about but we need to stop with the deep blue, its time to take this Country back and i hope you all so change this World, all of you. We tried, we called, we rallied, we tried, millennials failed, keep strong, we love you.
We didn’t fail as millennials we were victims too of columbine and colleges. Teachers need stun guns and pepper spray. Idk idk maybe idk either.
@@Beswift1989 that's a good point actually
@@cool3929 plus we saw 911, our generation went through a lot of trauma just like future generations will. To me it’s being human vs time.
@@Beswift1989schools aren’t battle grounds. Teachers with weapons is madness but sadly it has become madness
You need to stop with your insane deep *agent orange et. al.* Stop electing fools, the insane (hello Marjorie) and established cons. I prefer my businessmen who haven’t gone bankrupt five times and in doing so bankrupted many other family owned businesses.
The problem is that life itself has become so disregarded. A gun is just a tool. They would of used something else. Tim mcveigh used fertilizer and race car fuel
Incorrect. It’s both
The UK has psychos too but they’re forced to use knives instead, which are infinitely more manageable for a cop than say, the semi-auto at Uvalde
There is no logical basis left for allowing everyday civilians to buy semi-auto rifles. But people are willing to sacrifice children for their tacticool hobby, it’s really pathetic
@@corpsefoot758 Resistance against tyranny is why the 2nd amendment exists.
@@ulthanesmorkums
Explain what any semi-auto does against a military drone which wakes you up by annihilating your family at 3AM. And be very specific with your details
@corpsefoot758 Typical "whAT about thE dRoneS" argument.
Infrastructure is important to a country's function, and you can't occupy a country with drones without destroying all of the infrastructure. No tyrant wants to rule over rubble, so they'd be forced to use ground troops, who are very susceptible to a bullet to the back of the head.
They have on a uniform, I'm wearing a T-shirt. Good luck determining who's an enemy.
@corpsefoot758 The UK still has gun violence. There is no such thing as zero crime with guns anywhere. The problem is people and the culture.
Unfortunately, America has huge gun problem
Yes is has
This was really boring

Thank goodness this doesn't happen in the 🇬🇧. Our children dont have to worry about being murdered at school and parents living in fear of them not going home. Poor American children feel so sorry they live in a country that lets the down and die.
I think it's a bigger shame in britain we aren't allowed to defend ourselves and our goverment is working it's way up to be as oppressive as china, I'd rather be in a gun society where I have the right to defend myself rather than live in a place where I can be arrested for defending myself or saying somethong offensive
@@louistudor1086 all countries do. You notice after a country bans guns ot becomes more authoritarian? In britain we aren't allowed to defend ourselves and we can be arrested for saying something offensive.

The shooter broke several dozen laws. But more laws would have prevented this tragedy? No.
With all these guns killing people, I must have the most well-behaved guns in the world
The guns aren't the problem.
The problem is the warring gummint stepping on everyone's neck, setting an example of solving problems with violence.
Nah it’s definitely the guns. If you disagree, feel free to point out any school shooting epidemic in the UK
@@corpsefoot758hardly no mass shootings in uk I feel much safer then America honestly
I believe so... even though I don't live in America myself, I very much sympathize with what is happening there as a human being... in the country where I live, citizens are not allowed to own a weapon, but also here you have criminals who have it or other events... but you never hear of shootings in schools or in public... with a weapon like that you can immediately make a lot of victims! I really feel for the victims there... especially the schools where young students fall victim... I hope that will change...❤️
To ask the question, is to answer it.
A movie, please. The survivors tells they story and they share it.😢😮
No, you have a gun user problem
Why does the US have the most mass shootings out of any first world nation? Is it an Americans problem, then?
It’s both. The UK’s crazy people use knives, not guns. Go ahead and explain that one
@@corpsefoot758 violent people problem
@@corpsefoot758 what I can't explain is the low crime rate in certain european countries. Not sure if it's Belgium, the Netherlands or both but people leave babies in prams outside restaurants and nothing happens. There's no explanation besides genes perhaps why one country has a high crime rate and another has almost no crime. Smh

It’s both
Mentally ill people should never have easy access to semi-auto rifles
Thank you!
mental health problems exist world wide . Gun violence is proportional to gun ownership.
There is Mental illness in every country. It’s the Guns!
Easy access to guns
For mental people to get their hands on is also a major problem
The United States sends $115 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine. Does Ukraine have a gun problem?
Ummm, Ukraine is fighting the 5th largest military in the world. Who's America fighting?
Yup. Guns for leftist politicians, their inner city pets, the Taliban and Ukraine.
Just not you
@@mikeluostari5196 So you're saying that guns in the hands of the good guys are OK? That's exactly what millions of law abiding Americans have been saying. It's good that you confirm that.
@@lancecahill5486 I never said it wasn't OK. I honestly have no problem with people owning guns. I don't want to see people get their guns taken away. All I and a lot of other people want is to make it difficult for a dangerous, unstable person to get their hands on a gun. If you're a law abiding citizen you don't have anything to worry about. I don't get why that's controversial.
@@mikeluostari5196your policy prescriptions restricts, deters, and disarms the peaceable citizen while ignoring those you claim to want to prevent. That is the controversy and if you cant comprehend that then don’t b surprised.
4:32 you can see a de@d body on the floor, i really cant imagine wjat these poor 13-19 year old kids saw. Most of the victims were freshman too, to young to go through something like this 😢
I saw that too. I paused it and it’s a jacket and backpack
@@LivvyAlexWtrue but still those poor kids would have come across numerous dead peers as they ran for safety 😢
Yes.
With Columbine, Craig Scott not only witnessed two of his friends being murdered in the library (Isaiah and Matt), when he was released, he had to run past his sister, Rachel’s, dead body.
I’ve only learned about this school shooting a few days ago, have watched the court hearings etc the tears that feel from my face 😢I don’t live in America & guns are not allowed where I live, these kids are remarkable & so talented, what they did in this documentary is outstanding still gave me tears but sorta happy 1’s if that makes sense, sending so much love & virtual hugs ❤ 🇦🇺💯😊 I just don’t get America & their love of guns 😢
of course it has. So many use to excuse that they need it for protection yet the countries with gun laws dont nearly have as many shootings as America. People love their guns more than the safety of human beings.
I know right it’s ridiculous
we do have a gun problem in america in recent years so need to fix problem before more people die
No we Don't.. It's The Criminals or people who have Mental Disorders. Anything can be a Weapon even our own Hands a Vehicle What are you gonna do take people's hands and Cars..
So young, so naive. So unaware that nothing is gonna get better. Only worse.
Well, I’m from Italy, and here you have to be 18yo or more to be able to buy a gun. And you have to get a license that allows you to buy it and use it. For what I know in the USA you can just go to a gun shop, fill up a paper, and in 3 days you’ll have your gun. In fact, in Italy that doesn’t happen. I mean school shootings, unfortunately we have other problems. But I think that could be a solution. Surely it’s better than teaching kids how to hide better.
In the United States, you get the gun the same day. But you're required to do a background check first. You have to be 21 for pistols and 18 for rifles. Idk what changed as to why this keeps happening. We have always had a lot of guns. We need to start increasing security at schools. Kids are the most precious thing we have, and we protect every other important building with armed security. There has been legislation proposed to give funding to schools to increase security systems and hire armed security, but because of politics, it keeps getting voted down. I can't fathom how people will choose party politics over protecting children.
The USA is not Italy. We have this thing called the 2nd amendment.
Yeah it’s called the 2nd amendment! Unlike Italy the USA is about rights. We will never allow crazy’s to take those rights from us! If there had been Armed trained teachers etc in that building the outcome would’ve been very different!
@@animallover7850some countries give up their rights because they don’t want no more mass shootings it’s only America that is not willing to give up this dumb 2nd amendment rights really needs to go!!
CANT EVEN READ THAT TITLE without anger. If you want a gun for protection in your home on your person that's fine if you want to go hunting and eat it that's fine no one needs an AR especially at 18 .... I'm 15 minutes from Parkland in another quintessential neighborhood that you'd like to be raised in that doesn't mean we're immune from Guns neither is any mall movie theater bowling alley public place it's everywhere. People are going crazy. There's no healthcare we can't get medications we can't help mental health because they can't go get therapy we can't get medicines if we don't have insurance it just goes on and on. No meds?-> people can drink all they want. Go to a liquor store for 5 times a day without question, get a happy hour drink to go and then go home and deliver a box of liquor from doordash or wherever. But God forbid you need a RX from a DR 1 day EARLY- . I know it sounds off topic but think about it if people had health care and could go to doctors for what else them they wouldn't need to do drugs or drink or get so angry they'd be able to sleep they wouldn't be taking their anger and their frustration out on other people maybe they could be in therapy but you know what all of that costs money and a lot of it... we still don't have school on Valentine's Day here and I don't think we ever will
Rip 🪦 Hiroshima Japan 🇯🇵
So, you say someone can have a rifle for hunting but not an AR?
Hate to break it to you, but there are a lot of rifles with a higher caliber.
Have you ever seen what a shotgun does at close range?
Society is falling and we have to meet the those without morals with guns.
Hey guys, I come in peace. I'm so sorry about what you're going through. This incident hit me hard and caused me to do a ton of research about restricting firearms.
There hasn't been firearms bans because all the statistics and research shows a gun ban would cause a huge problem.
There are an estimated 1 billion citizen owned guns in the US.
When the UK enacted a firearms ban in 1997, the homicide rate increased by 50% over 6 years... and they didn't have anywhere close to this many guns in the hands of their citizens
How many kids lives are you willing to sacrifice to try to make a BILLION guns disappear from the US?
Are you comfortable with a >50% increase in homicides to give it a try just to see if it goes better for the US than it did for the UK?
This is absolutely not a topic we can make emotional decisions on.
We need to do what will actually prevent innocent people from being killed.
If you stop selling and ban the military weapons, it’s not all guns you are banning. If your next thought is “but that’d be the start of banning all guns,” now you know what women feel after having our rights taken from us.
It’s the fact that Congress cares more about the NRA, and red conservative states care much much more about the NRA and banning of books and ideas than they do about their students (or catering to the Klan and bigotry) than anything else.
I was in my sophomore year of high school with Columbine, when the Florida school started making us wear ID tags so that if a school shooting did happen, they could identify the bodies. We could no longer wear long coats (it’s too hot in Florida) and a long list of silly rules that matter very little in the current situation. It has since gotten 1000% worse. Thoughts and prayers are now no longer working. Hunters don’t need to undead 17 animals in less than 5 minutes.
@@serenitypalmer490 no, my next thought was that you need to educate yourself.
What are the "military weapons" you're talking about?
I don't think you know enough about any of this to have much of an opinion.
You have emotions. Not knowledge.
I'd start by reading the Constitution and Bill of Rights for the first time so you at least understand the 2nd amendment isn't about hunting lol
6:40 weston , we never forget
Are you seriously asking that???!!!
TL;DR
No it doesn't. It has a mental issue problem. Fix that.
Many countries have mental health issues, but no other country has as much gun violence/ mass shootings as America does. Makes you wonder where issue really lies. In this instance, what is the main difference between America and these other countries? Right, the loose gun laws.
How does this have so few views and comments in comparison to some? 😢😩
18:00 I'd love to help with anything.. I was a very involved I see you nurse working 23 years in the same place and a very busy PTA mom room mom a team mom a Girl Scout mom Etc and all that changed after covid when I had to stop working I can't walk and blah blah blah anyway if there's anything I could do for Broward County I'm here in Weston
Sad
There's an Far East country where practically every family had a rifles but had one of the lowest gun violence incidents in the world .
Many countries with banned guns have problems with ultra violence with illegal arms .
We are over medicated creating people with mental anguish even worse .

@@louistudor1086 you do enough to reply
It needs to be the angry person holding onto the gun that needed more kindness, acceptance, and counseling long before this kind of situation happens. If not the same choice will continually happen with some other kind of mass destruction method. We need to include others before they give up on being accepted at all and situations like this happen. Very sad though! 😢

Educate yourself on this topic. The statistics.
There are over a billion guns estimated to be privately owned in the US including 3D printed guns now.
With a starting point of 1 billion citizen owned guns, what do you suggest as a plan of action?
Cry on CZcams?
Sorry for bothering you but I live in the UK could someone let me know how I can support these students fight to stop this keep happening. I will never forget that day
If you look up parkland online, I’m sure there are links to an officially connected nonprofit organization you might be able to donate to
How about minding your own business?
No it has a mental health problem.
This was a terrible tragedy! But the problem that this happened was the flaw in the system the police and FBI dropped the ball in doing their job about the shooter and his history of violence and what he'd do with it. On the released security cam footage,A student witnessed nikolas cruz loading his rifle and he said to him he better get out of there.The student could've stopped him but he ran off cowardly. The police when they arrived did absolutely did nothing lives could;'ve been saved but they chickened out remaining outside. Now that the students rose up as march for our lives, They are not going to save the country,Only make people vulnerable. Nothing can make anyplace safe.The second amendment must not be abolished and Like it or not, All americans need guns to protect and keep us safe.
Plottwist: America does not have a gun problem
Wishful thinking
Only soldiers and policemen should being allowed to own, to wear and to use weapons if an upcoming argument cannot be resolved otherwise. What we need is access to the best possible education for everybody and not only for the privileged kids of wealthy families. I believe that people will change their conducts if they receive knowledges in social behavior, history, economy, foreign languages, politics, maths and the world religions of our entire world. What's the use of selling weapons to every citizen? Isn't "self defense" possible with better points during a conversation? Why are the better schools only accessible for rich kids? What's the use of it? The more people learn and understand the lower are our crime rates.
The problem America has are activists judges and lazy prosecutors who don't do their jobs to protect the public from repeat offenders. There needs to be conditions placed on sovereign immunity where it can be withdrawn around certain cases and these prosecutors and judges can be open to lawsuits and criminal prosecution for their gross negligence.
Yes, yes it does
What a circus
No, it's a mental health and lack of values problem.
It’s not mental health it’s the guns
It’s also the GOP preferring to get monies/support from the NRA than passing gun restrictions, and lazy gun shop owners/dealers who can’t/won’t be bothered doing background checks.
The gun problem is there are bad people who get ahold of guns and do these horrendous things without any fear that they will die that day because there are armed individuals placed in schools to keep kids safe.
I've never heard it addressed how an expelled student as Cruz was even got back on that campus to begin with????
This is why parents homeschool their children because of school shootings schools in America aren’t safe anymore

They already do that. The places you're talking about have their firearm homicides sky rocket every single time new gun restrictions are enacted. Baltimore. Chicago. Detroit. DC. NYC. Philadelphia.
I'm starting to think criminals don't care about the law
Feel sorry for the family's. But this is rediculous
Of course but not only the guns
The real question is "does america have a gun control problem?" To which I'd say absolutely.
You ever notice the only active shooter scenario on a US military base happened where the soldiers didn't have access to firearms?
An armed society is a polite one.
Chicago has the stupidest and strictest gun laws in the usa yet has the highest mass shooter rate in the nation?
All those shootings are by criminals who aren't supposed to have firearms anyway.
"A good guy with a gun is the fastest way to stop a bad guy with a gun".
The right to bear arms is being infringed with every single gun control law.
If you want to live in a gun free zone then go to the UK where the knife crime violence is outrageous.
Let americans freely have their guns and watch the crime rate plummet.
If teachers and even students had been allowed to have firearms then parkland wouldn't have happened. Government opposed to firearms created the "safe school zone" where it was illegal to have firearms. Something criminals are thankful for because it guarantees an unarmed victim who knows to follow orders.
Did you know that in the first 20 years of the 20th century there were several shootings in schools where it was in self defense and it was a student defending themselves against a teacher?
We have a knife problem here in the UK I agree. The knife deaths ( that includes any sharp object , scissors even ?) were just under 300 last year . Its not good, perhaps its 'outrageous' as you say.
But gun deaths in America ?
I looked at the figures ...just under 50,000 in 2021?
Excuse me if thats not quite right but I dont think Im too far off ?

These gun nuts are never smart, I noticed it’s a trend
Uvalde exposed their entire BS narrative, the “good guys with a gun” all ducked for cover so 🤷♂️
You're about right. What they don't tell you is that over half of those are suicides, and at least a large chunk of the rest are justified, self defense situations. In 2021, we had 26k suicides via a gun, and 21k other shootings. We also have a population of 330,000,000 citizens (not counting the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants). 21k is 0.006% of 330m.
0.006%
So no, I wouldn't say we have a gun problem. Anyone who thinks we do does not use their brain.
I'd like to include that carrying a gun saved the life of myself and my now 17 month old baby. To wish guns away would be to literally wish us dead.
So yeah.
There you have it.
@@bobjary9382
Suicides make up other half of all gun deaths.
@@bobjary9382um... are you at least aware the US and UK have different populations?
People can have millions protest is not going to change government!!!
That's because the numbers show a gun ban would cause a huge problem. There are an estimated 1 billion citizen owned guns in the US.
When the UK enacted a firearms ban in 1997, the homicide rate increased by 50% over 6 years... and they didn't have anywhere close to this many guns
How many kids lives do you all want to sacrifice to try to make a BILLION guns disappear from the US?
Are you comfortable with a >50% increase in homicides to give it a try to see if it goes better for the US than the UK?
America has a open border problem
oh? You SEEN IT?
@@voice2skull. Yes, me and many other Americans have been to Arizona, Texas, and states like where I live in California which has seen rampant mass illegal immigration that has caused massive crime and other issues. It's literally undeniable. Even the democrats admit it's a problem. You have government officials from new york saying they physically cannot fit the capacity of people. You just gonna keep denying reality?
What does illegal immigration have to do with it? Most school shooters are white kids born in the US
Absolutely!
THINKING THAT PASSING GUN LAWS WILL PREVENT CRIMINALS FROM OBTAINING GUNS MAKES ALMOST AS MUCH SENSE AS THINKING THAT PASSING GUN LAWS WILL PREVENT CRIMINALS FROM OBTAINING KNIVES!!!
Okay 😂
Yes look at countries without gun laws they have the same amount of shootings as countries with gun you're a real big brain
mass stabbing???
Leftists will find out the hard way like they did in Kenosha. Lol
@@NoviKimJiwoongYes. The UK restricted firearms in 1997 and saw a >50% homicide increase within 6 years
But hey, their FIREARM homicide rate did drop. How awesome!
If u have to ask?

That is just inspired ! ..and really whats needed to make easy connectivity to voting.
Until Americans stop quoting the constitution things will never change.
That document was relevant when it was written but needs revising.
How many tragedies have to happen before people wake up.
It won’t anyone less patriotic, in fact surely the opposite would be true.
Unfortunately because the gun culture is worth so much money and is a political vote killer, nobody will risk change.
The Constitution is the founding of this country, it's important to our day to day life. We just say a prime example of firearm ownership and why it's important. Hamas went door to door murdering civilians.
What exactly do you think should change?
The UK enacted firearm restrictions in 1997 and saw a >50% increase in their homicide rate
There are an estimated 1 billion citizen owned guns in the US. WAY more than were owned in the UK in '97.
Are you comfortable with a >50% increase in homicides of innocent people to give it a try?
How many kids lives are you willing to sacrifice to try to make a BILLION guns disappear from the US?
This is absolutely not a topic we can make emotional decisions on.
We need to do what will actually prevent innocent people from being killed.
I believe the best change is put the Lord Jesus Christ back in the schools put the Ten Commandments back in the schools, what happen in 1980 when Supreme Court ruled in Stone v. Graham that posting the Ten Commandments in classrooms is unconstitutional. I believe in my heart if we put Lord Jesus back in the schools and back in government in our country will get better again Jesus loves you so much that he died for ours sins when we have Jesus inside us we are so happy.

Does America have a gun problem?????,
Yes it does
No, it does not. America has a mental health crisis. America has a crime crisis. But considering the vast numbers of guns owned by the people, if guns were the problem, they'd be a whole lot more of a problem.
IF GUN LAWS REDUCED CRIME THEN CHICAGO WOULD BE ONE OF THE SAFEST CITIES IN THE COUNTRY BUT IT IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS CITIES IN THE COUNTRY!!!! THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!!!!!
Okay 😂
Chicago’s guns are mostly brought in from less regulated areas outside of Chicago
Correct!
You've conveniently chosen a single city instead of looking at the countless countries across the world which have strict gun control and near zero mass shootings and dramatically lower firearm related deaths overall. Willful ignorance.
Right, Chicago has very stick gun laws….but the gang crime doesn’t care about those laws
DISARMING AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE BECAUSE A FEW MISUSE GUNS MAKES ALMOST AS MUCH SENSE AS TAKING MOTOR VEHICLES AWAY FROM EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE CHOOSE TO DRIVE WHILE INTOXICATED!!!!
Okay 😂
Cars requires licenses clown. But many of you goons push to deregulate guns entirely, I wonder why
The mental health is never addressed.
"A few misuse guns"? FFS! Britain and America have an identical rate of knife crime. Britain has gun regulation. In 2021 in the US 21,000 people were murdered with guns and there were 26,000 gun suicides. In Britain the numbers were 35 and 100.
ENOUGH!! WITH YOUR SPAMMING COMMENTS!!
#guncontrol
What gun should I buy next ?
The right for self defense is universal and natural. The vast majority of Americans use guns to defend themselves and their families.
There is no justifiable self-defense use case for semi-auto rifles. The vast majority of domestic firearm engagements are between 5-7 yards
In other words, you are fine with leaving that type of gun legal because you’re fine with sacrificing their victims for your weekend hobby
@@corpsefoot758
Your fear isnt our problem.
@@mobilusinmobili8321 but dead kids is
IF ANYONE WANTS TO LIVE IN A DISARMED COUNTRY FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING LEGISLATORS OR MINORS THEN THEY SHOULD PACK THEIR BAGS AND MOVE TO A COUNTRY WHERE PRIVATE GUN OWNERSHIP IS GREATLY RESTRICTICTED OR COMPLETELY ELIMINATED RIGHT NOW!!! THERE ARE PLENTY TO CHOOSE FROM!!! TAKE YOUR CHOICE!!!!
Already here . Oh we have free health care too ...and paid mandated holiday breaks for workers ..and ..
that's why they're all coming here

Yeah it’s called depictions of violence in Hollywood
People in Canada watch plenty of violent movies too. Where’s THEIR shooter problem?
You think people in other countries don't watch violent movies?
reach from Hollywood
yes from Hollywood
@@mikeluostari5196 and the post was about gun problems in America not other countries
PUTTING THE BLAME ON GUNS WHENEVER AN UNLAWFUL SHOOTING HAPPENS INSTEAD OF ON THE SHOOTER MAKES EXACTLY AS MUCH SENSE AS BLAMING FLIES FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GARBAGE!!!!
So background check the people ....not the guns
There's something wrong with you
why did you pay homage to a flag..
because you were mkd
@@annychest718?????????
Okay 😂
@@bobjary9382exactly these gun stores in America need to look more into peoples background checks and more details

Next: Trump, Do America have a Donald Trump Problem?!? 🤔😕🧐
President Trump 2024❤️🇺🇸
Errr, ya think?!
Merica we dont have education or healthcare, but we got guns and a flag yeehaw.
We barely have “a” flag. You’ll notice Southerners like to wave around their own participation-trophy lol
@@corpsefoot758
And so does Mexico and the Natives who lost too.😂
My heart breaks for them but at the same time the gun didnt jump and do this. It was one person's fault and that one alone. If they make it impossible for us who are responsible the criminals will take over. I will protect my home from ppl wanting to come into my home for nefarious reasons
Yes, America has a gun problem.
Many more children are killed by vehicles. Why do we not hear about the "car problem"?
More lives are saved every year directly from firearms than taken. That was proven by the CDC.
And yet a gun is inanimate. You should look up what that word means.
@@tonysslime7633
Because semi-auto rifles have no justifiable civilian use, genius
The duality of cars is a necessary evil, because not every neighborhood has direct access to trains & buses. Do you even use your brain
@@sithyarael6807
The UK’s criminals use knives instead, which is an infinitely more manageable situation for cops
So that leaves guns as the crucial variable. Anyone who ignores this simple fact is either dim or biased
We have a socialist, far left, Democrat problem
Prove it
@@corpsefoot758 Open borders, high crime rate, high inflation rate, the national debt is $33 trillion, I can go on.
@@lancecahill5486
The #1 theft in America is wage theft, by far. That is happening in Red states as well
Inflation is being driven in large part by price-gouging, as proven by astronomical price surges in staples like eggs. This is also a bipartisan disease
George W. started two idiotic wars on a credit card, with Trump’s horseshite tax cuts having the same effect on our debt. Why are you only blaming the left wing for all of these bipartisan diseases?
@@lancecahill5486 The borders aren't open. Border crossings are down since they ended the COVID rules. America has always had a high crime rate. Has for decades. It's a complex problem with a myriad of different causes. The crime rate is actually going down in NYC. The inflation reduction act is working so well Republicans are trying to take credit and the debt is lowering. None of what you said has any basis in reality.

Ya know, the one thing that killed more than Nazism?
IF ANYONE THINKS THAT SOME LAWS CAN BE PASSED THAT WILL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR CRIMINALS TO OBTAIN GUNS THEN THEY ARE LIVING IN ANOTHER WORLD TO SAY THE LEAST!!!!
Some "Guns" should not be for sale to the Public. But they are. Sure we know Military stuff has thefts, but really dude, can we cut it in 1/2 by the public sales????
Or another country
instead you promote it
child killers
Yeah! You can obtain an assault rifle in Finland, Japan or Germany anytime! Your Pathetic!
“Harder” is the goal here, because anybody with a functional brain knows the difference
But you just go ahead and keep on sacrificing those children for the sake of your hobby buddy. Meanwhile rational gunmen like my own ex-mil family know regulation is obviously necessary
