#RussellHoward - Komedie
when we had a mass event in nz, the media was banned from saying his name and the prime Minister jacinda adern refused to say his name in public. she wanted to give him no fame, instead she concentrated all her energy on the victims and their names. absolutely brilliant. to this day i don't know his name and have no desire at all in finding out. he deserves no noteriety at all
I wished that they did the same here in Norway, but one news channel even went as far as to interview the father of the bastard within a week or so. You cant go out in a blaze of "glory" if no one knows who you are.
And yet PM Jacinda Ardern is still being crucified by the gun lobbyists, hunters, farmers and pretty much anyone who owns a gun, for reforming gun laws. Gun owners are a dangerous breed.
Thats one thing i hate about american news, 20mins after something like this happens and their entire sob story is broadcast everywhere when they should remain un named and forgotten, even in terror attacks they do the same thing, Give out their name and their whole life story and broadcast their face everywhere and gives them their martyrdom, but then they wont make any money milking the news story for months after an event happens and fuel more political arguments so i doubt jack squat will change anytime soon
Exactly. I’m from the UK and we are certainly not perfect, but one thing we do get right is gun control. The Plymouth shootings was the first mass shooting in the UK in 11 years.
So you will never know when he is standing right next to you after he escapes
"He wasn't a lone wolf, he was a pathetic wanker"
Absolute truth.
Exactly. Embellishments by journalists don't help. Knock them down don't increase their egos with heroic names. Lone wolf sounds much better than wanker...
@@voulafisentzidis8830 Why do journalists do that?
@@SamuelBlack84 because it sells papers and responsible journalism went AWOL decades ago. Headlines and profit are all that matter, however derived.
@@voulafisentzidis8830 I don't understand why anyone would buy a newspaper just because the headline uses fancy words. It's like a child being excited about colours
@@SamuelBlack84 I'll quote Einstein, who believed that the universe and human stupidity were infinite, although he wasn't sure about the universe.
For the same reason people buy weekly magazines which gossip about famous people. Many try to escape their own self-created hell on earth by reading about others' crazy lives.
If you're going to shoot someone for talking in the quiet carriage, at least have the decency to use a silencer
I don't want too be pedantic but they're called suppressors, not silincers, they suppress sound not silence it... I recently learned this and felt like sharing 😜😂
@@michaelsharp5756 who?
@@michaelsharp5756 spell silencer correctly, and someone might just believe you....
Be careful of what you say, or American gunshops will start selling "library pistols"...
Oh damn … that’s sharp! Brilliant.
In response to the NRA ladies opinion on truck controls. Imagine living in a world where you have to have a truck REGISTERED! Or have to have a LICENSE to operate one!
You already do you need a license to drive just about anything it’s a HGV license
@@DrWatson4 You might want to delete this one, Doc.
@@DrWatson4 That’s the point….
Imagine a world where those comparing firearms to driving a vehicle can't comprehend the difference between a RIGHT and a PRIVILEGE. This is why this argument always falls flat. I have a constitutional right to own and carry a firearm, I do not have a right to drive a vehicle.
@@Catch22er I like how you tried to save the guy before he got made fun of but it was too late.
I considered teaching abroad in America but the fact that you have to teach shooting and lockdown drills to four and five year olds horrified me. Kids shouldn’t have to go to school with the fear that someone could shoot the place up.
My friend's mom teaches primary school year and she said her mom was at a teacher's conference where she had to learn which children to prioritize saving if a child was caught outside during a shooting
@@WinterHalloweenRose - My God, that is horrifying! My kids are grown now. And in generally, they've all decided not to have kids, because they just don't want to bring them into this world. While it breaks my heart that I won't have grandkids, I understand their feelings and support them completely. I know (living in America) I'd be terrified today if I had to send my little ones off into this nightmare. Such a sad state of affairs.
That’s why I like it in the uk, btw I don’t get the teeth joke if someone could explain 💀
@@C.B..L.A.M they think we all have horrible teeth
@@tonysburgers7223 oh
One of the reasons I would never want to live in the USA. The UK isn’t perfect but the vast majority of us can live our lives not worrying about being shot.
Joy O'Riordan depends on where you live -gun usage common in.Ireland. .
@@ronnieince4568 I didn’t know about Ireland specifically but I do know that my UK experience isn’t the same as everyone else’s. Which is why I said vast majority.
@@ronnieince4568 indeed. Turned out Father William had a big box of machine guns in his house! Personally I didn't think he'd be into that sort of thing but you think you know someone...
If I could afford it, I would move there in a heartbeat.
Ireland does have a lot more guns per person than the UK.
One of the most telling things about old clips being uploaded about mass shootings is not realising they are old clips until something outside of the mass shooting itself makes it noticeable.
Yup
What?

But yeah, I agree, despite that being phrased like a Shakespeare quote run twice through an industrial blender
It just keeps happening
I stumbled across this channel by accident. And it is obvious this man knows nothing about America. Because he is making sense, and we don't do that in America.
Russell, like most of the rest of the world, doesn't understand why US citizens want the masses to be armed.
I live in a country where even our police aren't armed unless they are on specific jobs which require the armed defenders' squad.
I'm relieved not to be living in a country where children are regularly slaughtered and it's seen as just another day
Got me in the first half, not gonna lie, XD
They’re just clumps of cells
I think they meant the people who’ve not been gunned down
we do have truck control in the US....it requires a licenses, education/passing a test, registration, yearly tax (or less depending on the state) , uncountable laws that enforce the use/ownership of trucks, and laws that can take away your right to a truck if you break those laws.

@@nexussever you think that fox news...we'll say reporter for lack of a better word...was being sarcastic?
@@DrKepperGaming they would likely claim to do so, if you dragged them into court. But no, they don't understand anything that's not moronic, racist or both.
Depending on the state? Are you not 1 country ? Stop living in 1800s or keep seeing innocents die.
@@bustamufc6907 I am not 1 country, I'm a single person living in a state that has voted Dem ever since I was born, in a district that elected Dem to the house since I was born, and has elected a Dem senator 80% of the time since I was born.
But hey I'll get right on making huge changes to gun reform across the nation because of your incredibly articulate and persuasive comment, which showed great depth of knowledge on the American political system or lack there of.
And if it wasn't clear by the fact that I pointed out the idiocy of the fox news woman's statement...I am in favor of gun reform.
"Feet are just as deadly as guns? OSCAR PISTORIOUS!!!"
That was clever.
Billy Connolly used to have a joke about a bouncer outside a Glasgow night club...as someone tries to walk in the bouncer says " excuse me do you any knives? .... no? .... well you're going to need one in there!!" When will US customs be offering the same advice to tourists visiting the US regarding guns?
Stay away from the joggers and jogger ghettos and you'll be gucci :)
"We're praying for you " basically translates to "We're doing f@ck all and that makes us feel good "
"Oh, $30 million from the NRA. Thanks, guys. Yeah, fuck the peasants. They mean nothing"
It's a gesture of goodwill, what else can realistically be done? Sometimes the suggestion of thoughtfulness is uplifting and appreciated.
@The Stonefish well yes what could realistically be done? Taking away/banning guns would be a direct violation of the constitution. The man was dead before he could be detained so they couldn't charge him for any crimes, and hotels have improved their security in response to this to decrease the likelihood of this occurring again. All in all there isn't much that the president could do in this situation except offer his condolences to those effected and try to offer some kind words. It's much better than false promises or attempting to take away from those who have done no wrong.
They are likely praying while simultaneously cleaning and oiling their large collection of military-styled assault rifles they clearly need for legitimate purposed such as hunting deer.
it's sad that.. a month later we're still having this conversation, just about a different state.
I remember reading that it's illegal in New York to buy a Toy Gun, but it's legal to buy a real one.
Ludicrous
@Reactance Well I would think so, it would be kinda stupid to ban toy guns while real guns can be brought, it's similar to the whole Kinder Eggs fiasco.
BTW I don't live in the US so their laws don't apply to me so I never learned them nor care much about them, they just confuse me so, specifically since I grew up eating Kinder Eggs.
@@felinediscipline Well, you just described your made-up law as “ludicrous”, and now you “don’t care” about laws in the US. Which one is it?
@@paddyl0 It's dumb for a law to restrict guns designed for kids while firearms can be brought by any adult.
I don't care about US laws but that doesn't mean they aren't stupid sometimes.
@@felinediscipline so what if they’re stupid? You don’t care, remember?
@@paddyl0 Well yes I don't, but that doesn't change the fact that the laws maybe stupid, even though we must abide them.
The madness of Americans is almost impossible for a normal person to comprehend.
But remember what the Japanese commander said right after pearl harbor when he was asked why they didn't do a ground attack on the US. He said "Because there's a gun behind every blade of grass".
right, but you don't know what true madness is.
About 30 years ago a UK colleague of mine was on a work trip to San Diego and was caught up in a mass shooting in Macdonalds…a maniac just walked in with a fully automatic and opened up on the whole place. He managed to get out and wasnt hit but dozens were. The US will never change as their love of guns is greater than their love of human life.
@Asgardian Time Lord Jedi Well; I suppose a Time Lord Jedi would have that wee detail taped... 😉
Jesus... I'd say he's still traumatised by that. Hope he's OK mate.
It's a sad reality.
@@MolloyPolloy the police came to his hotel to check on him… he was ok and felt lucky to escape
@Asgardian Time Lord Jedi I knew it was a long time ago
"Prayers don't help people; people do." Nice, definitely will remember that one :-)
RIP Common Sense!!
As a Canadian, I was well aware of the US gun laws when I moved to Phoenix, Az, in 2000. What caught me off guard as I walked into a bank (of America) which kept the teller safely behind four inches of plexiglass, for fear of being held up by a potential shooter.
Behind the teller, high up on the wall was a big sign that read to the effect that if you opened an account with them, you could be in ownership of any one of the five handguns displayed, as a thank you for your business.
The teller noticed me reading the banner and asked if I was interested in opening an account with them... I looked at her and stated I would need a bank with better sense at it's helm, as any bank that gave away guns, was far too goofy to be handling my money! I say BRING BACK COMMON SENSE, before it escapes us completely and is only regaled thru whispers of better days filled with logic and efficiency!!
Ugh. That’s why I refuse to ever move to a red state.
Handguns: The most common guns used resulting in gun related deaths/murders in America.
Your local bank: You could own this deadly weapon for free if you open an account.
Like what is wrong with people
@@g0oberdm417 My sentiments exactly!! It's simply ridiculous...
@@SiVisPacemParaBellum545 Wow! Well, it wasn't like they handed them out from a box under the counter... There was a couple of restrictions, one of which was that you had to have a firearms license or such, be over 21, not have a criminal record. I very much enjoy playing with firearms, but it was the stupidity of walking into that bank and seeing the huge banner behind the teller offering a free gun (There was 5 or 6 to choose from) for opening a first time bank account (Some restrictions would apply, of course). The bank was somewhere near 19th and Northern, in Phoenix, October 2000. Oh hey, Princess - the next time you want to argue, try a subject on which you know something about. Like... kneepads😘😎
If a bank is going to give you a pistol, they aren't going to give it away on the spot. You would have to pick it up at a Federaly licensed gun shop (FFL), fill out paper work and pass a background check. If you have any criminal history you will be denied ownership of the pistol and it will be on your record that you tried to purchase a gun. If there are 2 banks im choosing to go too, and I have the ability to know there are 4 armed citizens in one bank and 0 armed citizens in the other, I'm going to the one with 4 armed citizen. If a bank robber with a gun shows up with the intent to kill everyone in the bank and rob the place, 4 guys living their everyday lives that carry a gun on them are going to do everything they can do to not be killed (i would hope) and protect others inside that are innocent and unarmed. 4 good guys with guns vs 1 bad guy with a gun are better odds than me choosing the other bank and there being 1 bad guy with a gun and a bunch of people not being able to stop him. Gun control shouldn't be control the guns. As much as I hate to admit it, if a criminal is gonna get a gun he will get a gun. I'm 100% anti gun control and gun banning, and I personally believe everyone should carry a gun. But if there was a gun control law that would 100% take away all guns, but also would 100% stop any criminal from getting a gun and nobody ever died due to a gun again, I would vote for that law. Our English friend here even said it himself there are 6 guns for every 100 people in the Uk, and if that statistic is accurate thats still over 600,000 guns in the UK that the government knows about, not the ones they dont. And people still die in the Uk every year due to gun violence, and that's not good enough for me.
As an American, I have lost hope that any rationale will return to my country. After Trump, it exposed how people will use religion, weapons, and the law to do anything they want including killing people. It's not about responsibility and safety, it's about deranged selfish power as if everyone is living inside a video game. My deepest and most sincere apologies to the rest of the world.
Also an American and I second this. Sad to see this devolution as I just became old enough to vote.
Apology accepted, but not needed, you can't be held responsible for the stupidity of the majority
I'm English, and you're spot on. Trump is a dick, and as long as so many Americans can buy guns so freely, the mass shootings will keep happening. Not to worry though, that 2nd Amendment is still protecting everyone.
I'm more worried about your government than guns as well as my countries government, I've read and watched online the choices and openness of mayors in different states and listening to them discuss serious laws scares the life out of me. I know Boris is an absolute wet wipe but other governments scare me even more.
Very well stated Kristi. And oh so very true and sad. As also an American I totally agree with you !
It's funny, but sad and true at the same time!
Russell bring out the humour even in the darkest of events
he takes out of context stuff & clickbaits it whats funny there you can do that ?

I'm from India and I've started to become desensitised hearing about these gun violence news from USA and I don't ever seek news from any media other than our own. Every year or so there's always some sort of record broken in these types gun violences in America. I can't help but think that politics as a whole has become desensitised towards this issue and it is going to take a decade or two before this gun pandemic is anywhere near its end .
If the mass shootings were of politicians then there would be prompt action.
Its because without guns the sky would fall apparently, despite those guns killing more than they save.
To be honest, most Americans are desensitized to it. Imagine how much we hear about it when it's on our news channels and websites regularly. And only the really bad ones become world news, you won't hear about a lot of them in India.
In 2017 a truck collided with a motorcycle at a very dangerous intersection in Iceland. 1-2 years later, the city moved the road to a safer place with a roundabout. As he said, people learn. American politicians unfortunately do not.
Literally thought you said the city moved to a safer place
@@Tom-cp1zy That would be the greatest achievement the world had ever seen.
Wait, they didn't ban trucks or motorcycles? Yet you want American politicians to ban guns?
@@gangadin2873 I think you "missed" the moral of the story. Which is odd since you like guns so much.
@@mikkitoro8933 There doesn't seem to be a "moral" of the story.

@@IonutNedelcu Yeah, nah.
Hell, half our population (US citizen here) needs to learn the other half of the 2nd Amendment, the one with the "well regulated" bit in it.
@@IonutNedelcu Not all of America

Iv had arguments with Americans about guns they absolutely will not accept having no guns
Because they're stupid.

I'm an American....and I refuse to own a gun. I've survived 41 years without owning a gun. Now, I have fired a gun. Well, 2 guns, actually. A total of 12 shots between them. Didn't excite me. I have a rather nice knife collection that I can't legally leave my house with though.....sadly, knife regulations are tighter than gun regulations.
" stop praying and start leading " BEST ADVICE EVER!!
Let’s be honest there is no hope for America
Their loss
as humans we learn from our mistakes, its called evolution, oh no dont say that word, these people dont believe it exists!
You’re a smooth brain if you think only religious people carry guns
No wonder we're stuck in the stone age
This isn't evolution though, it's adaptation, evolution is a genetic process. We don't alter our genes to prevent car accidents.
that Oscar Pistorius joke 😂
They love their guns! Good luck changing that!
Yes we do but its become a pathology in the right, I'm a veteran, I have shot most varieties atleast once, mini gun is a helluva alot of fun, but the huge gun show loopholes along with SHITFUCK parenting are always responsible for this shit. I had weapons classes (hunters safety) in grade (primary) school, we brought weapons and the local sheriffs taught us weapon safety. It was better, honestly tho these days gun violence is the least of our worries, I so scared and ashamed for my nation.
It ensures we never get bullied by the government.
I see Australia and think about that often.
Shit happens, that's life.

@@Been.Here.Since.2007 it doesn't really stop you from being bullied by the government when a bunch of people with no organisation or connection have guns against a unified threat
@@jsgwam "personal protection" is the whole idea.
Not every gun owner is on a team 🤣🤣🤣
America - where this is the law:
"Federal law prohibits handgun ownership by any person under the age 18, with a handful of exceptions. But there is no minimum age for long gun (i.e. rifle and shotgun) ownership. Twenty states and the District of Columbia have set their own minimum age laws ranging from 14 in Montana to 21 in Illinois, but in the remaining 30 states it’s technically legal for a child to possess a long gun"
But you can't drink alcohol until you're 21.....
The laws worked well for shitenhouse
I would say that is relatively ok. Allow a child to be given a gun and instructed in the safe and responsible use of one before they can drink where they might be tempted to be stupid. Get the lessons stuck in their minds so if they drink down the road it will be more likely to stick.
Apparently you can only own 6 dildos in Texas but as many guns as you want. You also cant have a kinder surprise. So no toy surprises or orgasms but yes to school shootings.
A gin is a gun no matter what shape it is
@@ch4z_bucks children should never be exposed to guns. Most gun deaths in American homes are from accidental shootings from occupants and their own weapons.
I doubt these mass shootings would of happened if those lunatics used muskets instead of high capacity, fast firing weapons.
Your point?
@@dougalbadger4918 you need to ask...? 🤷🏼♂️
@@vintagemxer1846 you can try to have a strict regulation for gun ownership amd training. Regulate the type of gun that is on sale.
Keep in mind, ie. UK and Australia have strict gun laws and they barely have mass shooting.
Switzerland have high gun per capita but strict regulation keep them in check.
US? You can buy a rifle with no training / proper document
@@sbomorse they are a bit slow, some of them
@@dougalbadger4918 that's the firearms that were available when the 2nd amendment was written.
Me and my family watched a news report about the Las Vegas shooting about a week after it happened. They showed videos of Trump commenting on the whole thing, and my dad got so angry that he walked out of the room. He called Trump very pretty words that day. Even my grandfather(who btw is for having guns and wish we could have them at home) said that it was stupid that gun laws weren't discussed. I live in Sweden, we have pretty strict gun laws(not even the military are allowed to have their guns at home anymore, after an incident in 2006. I remember dad having his AK at home when I was younger, but he had to hand it in in 2006) and even if this didn't happen in Sweden it still hit pretty hard. I don't understand how people can think it's a good idea to have that many guns when this many horrific things happen. The fact that there are more mass shooting a year than there are days is just horrifying.
For some, owning lots of guns fuels their fragile egos
That's great that it works for Sweden, but there there are more guns than people in the US. Even if all guns were banned outright tomorrow, the 400+ million guns in circulation aren't just going to disappear.
After yesterday this is relevant as ever!
This is brilliant. Thank you!!

Russell's lack of abilities to make gun noises is hilarious. Love the guy!
I know this is a bit of a divergence but a lot of this stems from how America was set up from its inception as a nation. American people are afforded freedoms and everything not covered is illegal that is why historically they hang on to them so fiercely. In the UK we are technicaly free to do as we please unless it is on the list as illegal. It is a subtle difference that has perpetuated a mind set for a couple of hundred years. In the UK the emphasis and ownace is very much on the responsibility of the individual to act rationally and keep themselves and others safe. That is why killing an intruder is illegal, because rationally this is a disproportionate response to a break in. In the US though you have the legal freedom/right (however you phrase it) to defend your property, so that action is justified. It is also reflected in the classic jaywalking in the states, no one really thought about it and thus it isn't afforded in your freedoms and so it is illegal, where as in the UK no one bothered to think about it so it is just your responsibility to do it in a way that doesn't get you and others killed.

That is true
That is not
You're not even American lol!!
Yeah, when I wanted to add an American license to my European one, I had to take a test, proof that I was okay to drive (eye check), and get insurance..
With that license I could have gone to a private person and bought a gun, legally. As a non-citizen with mental health problems.
@Three Brooklyn Cats this is the issue with guns. Anyone can obtain one so those who use proper safety get shafted. People at the end of the day kill people. It's not the guns it's the people of our nation that are the issue.
I am so looking forward to see him tonight live in Berlin!
The thing that always makes me laugh about this is that you will hear countless Americans say "Well you have so many stabbings in the UK, so how is it safer....if someone comes at me with I knife I'd shoot them because of the second amendments I'm safer".....My answer to that pile of excrement for an arguement is....1. You cannot stab someone 30-40 times a second, you can however shoot someone that many times. 2. You need to be closer to someone to stab them so you get more of a chance to either stop them or fight them off. You can be hundreds of feet away with any fire arm!!!. 3. The criminal element wouldnt have knifes if there are ample guns available so the end of your statment is moot. There is a reason that criminals here have a large number of knives...they are a damn site easier to get hold of! As Russ said in the video, there are more gun shops than McDs and Supermarkets combined....when its easier to get a weapon than it is to get food you have a massive bloody problem.
Shoot someone 40 times a second! Wow what kind of weapon is that, let me guess a made up one! Fool.
Yeah you don't get 50 + kills in a mass knifing.
Knives have other purposes
Whilst guns were made for one reason, to kill
We even have lower stabbing incidents compared to the America.
@@mkmarnes1187 Wrong. Mass stabbing have taken over 50 lives in one attack, and in China over 100 were stabbed in a single attack.
"my answer to that pile of excrement" And you never heard of neck stabbing. Which it is much easier to land on than getting a headshot from 50 yards with a pistol.

Prayers don't help people, people do. So stop praying and start leading. Just had to write that down Russ, you legend. Muahhh xx
Class 👏
Love it!
Well it's happened again....
That was awesome. Sadly, nothing will change.
I JUST LOVE RUSSELL SO MUCH XX he simply says the truth and tells it exactly how it is Russell is a pure legend
Like most people in show biz Russel is of a "certain ethnicity" and theyre very self opinionated.None of this takes into account the ultimate purpose of an armed populace to protect themselves from their own government!.
Governments inevitably become corrupt that has been the pattern....what happens then?......a disarmed populace have no way of removing a tyrant unless they have access to armaments....
You can see this in the UK and US....essentially the govt does as it pleases....
MOST people although the media says the opposite because it is now a branch of government WANT ALIEN IMMIGRATION TO BE HALTED.....but the government ignores them except at election time where they promise the public to stop it....BUT NEVER DO!!.
Western countries are largely ruled over by a "certain ethnicity ".....who control Finance,media and the internal secret police who are never called that.....
They did this to Russia post 1917 now theyre doing it to the West.
Russel is a weird looking creepy geek.
If getting a gun makes them feel safe, why do they always seem to have an arsenal in their rec rooms? One doesn't seem to quite do it for them, does it?
Indeed they think more guns will keep them safe but they’d only be able to use 1 😂. Also easy way to feel safe nobody has guns but this is America so we can’t expect too much
Guns to American men, are no different than shoes are to women. You can never have enough.
In Switzerland every house has a gun ammunition and a bicycle .The difference is the Swiss are responsible people .Last recorded shooting there was with a cross bow and the target was an apple .
i
I hate not being able to have a rifle that Isn't deactivated. Purely because I'm a militaria collector
@@ronnieince4568 great thing about switz is that people can own a gun as its mandatory for a few years of military service so everyone has experience and arnt going to go crazy with them. That's why americas guns are such a problem they don't have any experience
Please can we get the original air dates included in these video clips? Ideally as a watermark or otherwise in the descriptions?
Money is all it is to why it will never change
I love your videos man! You speak the truth whilst being funny at the same time! Absolutely love your stuff man!
I live 5km from the American border. I have not crossed the border in 25yrs because Americans are crazy and I don't want to die. It's that bad. Love from Canada!
If you support gun control Dean B then please continue to stay north of the border. I wish you luck with your dictator Trudeau. We are currently fighting our Dictator-wanna-be Biden.
Why do they reupload this clip after every shooting that happens in America yeah it’s a serious topic but it’s a bit confusing how they keep re uploading it?
yeah I watched this video like 2 years ago wtf
I second this. Wtf? Why reupload? This is from ages ago
To support the narative
_And it's still relevant now. It's like no lessons have been learnt, and no actions have been taken, and America is still struggling to fix something proven can be fixed._
Sorry, has the problem been solved, or, to be more realistic, has one single thing changed in the USA at all?
Fantastic
As someone living in Alabama I hear gunshots nearly daily. It's considered normal here. Can I immigrate to England?
I live in the usa and it makes me sick that the gun control is so insane all people care about is there guns and there rights to own one until its one of there family members being gunned down for no reason at all
The reading of the 2nd amendment was incomplete. Read the full paragraph and you’ll see context and meaning drastically changes.
I flipping love you!
I remember when I was 19 and Columbine happened, we all said, “This’ll never happen again, it’s a fluke incident.” And now here I am at 42, I’ve watch hundreds of mass shooting news reports, personally lost 3 people in my life to guns, and nothing has changed. And as much as it pains me to know and say- it never will…
Columbine happened during the 1994 "assault" weapon ban. The thing anti gunners are pushing so hard right now even though knives kill more people than so called assault weapons. Evil is gonna evil. You can't outlaw it.
When a comedian make more sense and better points than almost any politician alive, shouldn't that be a sign that something's extremely wrong?
A politician knows that going against the voters opinions is suicide
I'm a UK licenced gun owner and I have to say our licencing laws definitely work. We've proved that with only 3 shooting incidents involving licenced owners in 25 years. However, I don't believe that would work as well in America as there are just too many unlicenced guns in the country. If they bought in our laws over night, there would be a good 10 to 15 years of hell where every criminal had a free for all, before they slowly started whittling down the illegally held firearms.
In Ireland it's almost impossible to get a firearms licence. The rules, laws, applications, endorsements, legislation make it one of the toughest places on earth to obtain firearm. Thank fuck too. Not once in Ireland or the UK have I ever thought about the possibility of being shot. Our laws and the UK's work.
@@MolloyPolloy self defence is not the only reason to own a firearm. Sporting and pest control reasons have similar requirements in Ireland to the UK. The only difference is that in Ireland you technically can have one for self defence but as you say its very difficult to obtain.
@@ThePippin89 if people feel like theh need a gun for self defense then they should probably move
the bigger problem are the americans themself ------ ther are other countries with alot of guns like switzerland -------- but people ther are not retarded
So you admit your gun laws failed because you've had mass shootings since 1996. How many mass shootings before 1996's extreme gun laws?
I thought they were saying "bun control". Now it makes sense. Thanks.
Here in New Zealand I don't see a real gun even once a year. Last one was over 2 years ago, actually. The cops don't even carry them.
And according to gun zealots in the US, there's more gun violence in NZ than anywhere else on the planet.....
@@aaronthomas6155Haha. yeah, right. 🤣Our stats took a sudden leap a few years ago when an *_Australian terrorist_* came over and shot up a mosque and killed about 50 people. Other then that mass shootings here are almost unheard of.
@@warren52nz Until I read your statement, they were completely unheard of for me. This is actually the first I've heard of a mass shooting in NZ....
@@aaronthomas6155 They happen from time to time in every 1st world country probably.
After the mosque massacre our Prime Minister immediately outlawed all semi-automatic weapons and everyone handed theirs in (except for criminals of course). We have a couple of gangs here who sometimes show up with guns. Our police have access to weapons for situations like this but you NEVER see a cop walking around with a gun otherwise, even at the airport.
I don't think I've seen a gun since my grandpa died, I don't think I even saw them in the last five years of his life. They were in a very secure cabinet in the back room, which I basically never went in, so, I never saw them, even if I did I was probably to dumb and innocent to know what they were.
Banning guns wouldn't make a difference in America anyway. Americans would vote out whatever president banned guns and the next president would simply un ban them
What if you destroyed all the guns in thr world and removed all memory of them from everyone's mind?
Grenvalion, you are absolutely correct and Thank God for that. Because of that, we can eventually undo all of the stupid ass crap that the Democrats in America do.
@@SamuelBlack84 Then Europeans would create guns again.
@@user-tf5lg7fc9s But, the knowledge to make guns would be wiped from their memories as if they never existed
When people say why Trump wasn’t bad - this is a great condensed way of showing how truly awful that man is
Yes condensed like your tiny mind,well edited I'd say,Who armed the taliban again? Now that is awful 😆 How's Afghanistan gun control going?
@@eyesee8403 the fuck?
As an American … thank you.
I love you man… keep it up..no pressure…😂
Shame man my American friends….still living in the dark ages.
Some American booze shops also sell guns.
All true, speaking facts
Russell talks such common sense.
You cannot reason with an American
When someone tells American's that their country isn't the greatest country in the world they react like a hyper active 5 year old when they have been told it's bedtime 🤣
@@connor9829 if I say anything negative about America I get banned
The comment about other people having guns to stop a mass shooting never occurs.
The recent video of a mass shooting in Queens shows that people panic upon hearing shooting, they run from the sound of gunfire, not towards it…
Of the people who ran, how many do you think were legally armed?
@@patrickturner2417 of the many MANY shootings that occur in the US all the time - how many have been stopped due to an armed civilian?
and in comparison: how many unarmed people have been killed by armed civilians?
and of the armed civilians killing unarmed people - how many faced actual consequences for their actions?
@@SharienGaming "how many have been stopped due to an armed civilian?"
Thats an unanswerable question. But, many, many, many, shootings, robberies, rapes, and other types of assaults DONT happen because the criminal knows their potential victim is armed.
"How many unarmed people have been killed by armed civilians?"
Far too many. Damn near every gangster is armed, while your average joe, isnt.
But how many of those killings are committed with ILLEGAL guns?
"Of the armed civilians killing unarmed people, how many faced actual consequences.....?
Damn near all of them. Why do you think the prisons are so full?
If an armed civilian goes into a bank to rob it, and ends up killing someone, you can bet your ass that, if caught, he's going to prison.
Hells bells man, in Atlanta, a COP shot and killed an armed suspect and the states attorney filed murder charges AGAINST THE COP!!!!
As I stated earlier, they can pass all thr gun laws they want, they won't work. Heroin, cocaine, meth, they're all illegal, and look at the drug problem in this country. Prohibition worked like a charm back in the 1920s didnt it? All that accomplished was getting people killed, and made millionaires out of the gangsters.
And the same damn thing will happen if they outlaw guns.
@@patrickturner2417 so you are saying you cant answer how often armed civilians have helped, but that armed civilians causing harm is rampant? want to take a stab at the problem there?
and on that atlanta cop - im willing to bet those murder charges are entirely justified simply based on how the US police operates
on your prisons - want to know why your prisons are so full? because you keep incarcerating people for being poor, for minor drug possession like marijuana and of course for the "crime" of being black
on the topic of drugs - a lot of opiate addiction problems stem from a combination of rampant poverty and your pharma companies massively pushing prescriptions of pain relief medication, which cause addictions to those meds... which when no longer available due to poverty switched to the next thing that was available and could alleviate it: heroin and other opiate drugs - theres a lot of good reading out there on who caused the opioid epidemic and how it happened if youre interested
and on facing consequences? there have been a significant number of people (predominantly white) who shot people and faced no consequeces - most famously was a guy who went out of his home and shot people in the back on someone elses property after being repeatedly told by police on the phone to wait for them to arrive and to not go out there - no consequence at all
your country has more guns than people - if your thesis was correct, it would have been proven after the decades of gun death
if your thesis was correct you wouldnt need to train CHILDREN on what to do when an "active shooter" is around
the entire world including the us have comprehensively proven that the thesis of "more guns = more safety" is thoroughly wrong
the safest places in the world are those with fewer guns and more importantly - without a culture that idolizes killing tools
but sure - you keep shilling for a massive industry built on death and destruction that massively enriches a few bastards on the perpetuation of human misery around the globe if thats your thing
@@SharienGaming remember: this is the nation that spends $750 billion dollars a year on the military, but not even $1on the most basic free healthcare for their own citizens...
Most of you don't see this but I have watched Russ as a child and as much as he still makes me giggle no matter what I have seen him hate the world very much and give us a good messages to progress forward whether anyone gives a fuck or not
Pray and act would be better fitting in my opinion in the end, but still - great video and love in your life! :D God bless, thanks for your super work! :)
Have a blessed start in 2023 later on
"Nobody has ever been dildoed to death"...clearly Russell never had the joy of playing GTA San Andreas
Finding one in the police station showers... so many fun memories of that game!
Maybe if you didn't pay your tab in a brothel, you would lol
I’m sure Russel had a few close shaves in his time
theres no magic man 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 so sad
And we just had another one at my University yesterday. When will the nightmare end?
This is a re-up load. But still a good and important one
I was thinking the same...like....Ive seen this allready.
It all comes down to one particular American flaw: lack of public schooling.
America just needs to restrict its gun laws even just a little would go so far. The kind of weapons that civilians can buy is madness. A civilian does not need military grade weapons. I understand if a law abiding person wants a gun I don’t oppose that but they need better education on guns and tighter laws over what you can buy, who can buy them and how easy they are to get. A few restrictions on ammo wouldn’t hurt either. But I get that yeah people are responsible for their actions not the gun but if you’re making it so easy to get one no wonder every overly dramatic pissed off citizen can go on a spree. The whole system need an overhaul there are other factors to consider not just the gun laws. For example how America treats its people also needs improving the pay gap between rich and poor plus racial lines is the highest in the world. As Russell said you don’t fix a problem with a problem. They need to look at the whole system to see where the problem is that’s causing people to make the decision that taking lives is the option they feel is the only route they have left and stop that before it escalates.
They have ZERO mental health care for anyone to poor to pay the exorbitant rates charged by private doctors, that is the obvious crux of the matter.
You've got to actually look at the stats and how they've been fudged.
"OMG 400 mass shootings last year"
This figure comes when you define mass shooting as "An incident where 3 or more people were injured using firearms"
That's just a slow evening in Chicago.
When you hear the term "mass shooting" you think "nutjob takes a big gun and tries to kill as many innocent civilian people as possible"
Gang shootouts shouldn't be included in the figure, but they still get included to help push an agenda. Most of these gang shootouts involve weapons that are already illegally owned, stolen, with serial numbers scratched off, modified to shoot faster, and more.
There are plenty of things that anti-2a campaigners campaign for, like background checks, which already exist and are enforced on a federal level universally across the United States. It's important to be honest about the figures when talking about this because when you pretend like a few crips getting capped is anything comparable to a nightclub getting shot up, it's gigantically disrespectful to the victims of the real mass shootings.
Also I'm gonna be completely honest. The only reason Boris and his government have gotten away with their tyranny and parties is because they don't fear the people.
The government should be absolutely fucking terrified of the people. That's why we need military grade weapons.
There's also the point that the military uses all kinds of weapons, including knives, dogs, fighter jets, tanks, pistols, rifles, machine guns, garrotes, land mines, warships, jeeps, and more. All used as weapons. So how do we draw the line between what military grade weapons we can and can't have. And if you say "well just use some common sense" how about you use some common sense to explain how Boris would have had the guts to have his parties if he knew that if we found out, we could have shot up those parties.
Just an opinion but if the US banned guns today it would take decades for it to make any difference, if ever, if there are 300 million guns there, and I'm assuming that is just ones that are legal? They're not going to simply dissappear. The only people who would hand them over would be those who own one "just because" but don't share the enthusiasm of their compatriots to carry a weapon whenever they choose. Then you're left with the ones that no one knows about, Russell quoted that in the uk there are only 6 guns per 100 population, that actually sounds like a lot but again it's only taking into account the ones that are held legally, how many are out there that no one knows about? Let's face it, if you intend to use a gun for criminal purposes you're hardly likely to go through the intense rigmarole of registering it legally in much the same way that if you were intending to commit an armed robbery you'd hardly use your own car as the getaway vehicle. I agree something has to change but outlawing guns would exasperate the problem because most of the guns would still be out there but no one would know who had them or where they were. Since it became illegal to carry a knife in England has anyone been stabbed?
I get the feeling that a government that spends $750+ billion on its military in a year and doesn't provide free healthcare in it's most basic form unfortunately doesn't care about anything you said.
Say's the People NOT the Individual.
In Australia we had the port Arthur massacre and we instantly knew we did not want it happen again. We had the same arguments said by the nra said here and yet we still band them. The culture of freedom runs just as deep in Australia as it does in the us. They just need to put the community before themselves and maybe they could stop another one.
That's the problem. They'll happily allow their own people to be slaughtered than give up their big noisy toys that they just love to play with
When a country admits to not giving a damn about its own people, then it doesn't deserve a future
