He doesn't remember this time. It's a bit of revisionist history. I'm older than He is and I don't remember this time. There were mass shootings in schools prior to Columbine....heck, my HS had metal detectors.
"Taking my guns away for a crime someone else committed is the same as telling me I need a vasectomy because my neighbor has 13 kids." - Clint Eastwood
I recall seeing a questionnaire that a teacher set out at the end of the year. One of the questions was "what do you think your teacher could do better?" and a 9-year old girl answered "not use collective punishment as it's not fair to the many people who did nothing wrong and under the 1947 Geneva convention, it is a war crime".
Because it seems people nowadays like to envision mental illness as “oh it’s just being unique!“ when in reality it a very real problem and shouldn’t go unmanaged.
Ehh it's two sides of the same coin. Guns don't cause school shootings but they don't help exactly like guns don't cause crime but they don't stop it. You wouldn't need guns for self defence if crime wasn't a problem and you wouldn't ban guns if mental health wasn't a problem. You can't have it both ways, having your cake and eating just doesn't work.

@@tsaservices5843. What city did you live in? I remember taking my Father’s M1 Grand to school everyday, from Middle school to High school! I lives in the Suburbs of Detroit from 1947 to 1999, didn’t go to school all that time. And yes, kids that drove, had a Gun Rack in the back of their truck! I didn’t have a Vehicle, so I walked to the school! Middle school was a bit Closer than High School was, but I Carried my Father’s Weapon to and from school everyday! Why? Because one of the Schools Extra curriculum was teaching you about how to use, clean and shoot your weapon! I had to get a Permission slip from my parents and inform the Police Department! When I got to High School, you could Join the RIFLE CLUB AND DO COMPETITIONS SHOOTING! That was hosted by the NRA.
Pretty much everything that guy said is NOT the whole point nor the reason why we have the 2nd Amendment. Now, he DID mention the reason in a way, but it was not the main focal point of his reasons except maybe the last one a little. But the ONE REASON why we HAVE the right to bear arms, is to PROTECT US FROM A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT. So think about that for a minute. That literally means that WE MAY NEED TO FIGHT OUR GOVERNMENT ONE DAY if they become tyrannical and I'll tell ya, the direction it's going now is not good.
Well, idk if Yewtube deleted my comment but it wouldn't surprise me if it did. Plus, I don't see my comment so there's a good chance they did. Anyway, everything this guy said is not why we have the 2nd amendment. We have it to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government so just think about that for a second. That means that there may come a day when US, YOU AND I AND OTHER AMERICANS, ARE FIGHTING OUR GOVERNMENT. LIKE A WAR I MEAN. BECAUSE YES, IT CAN VERY MUCH HAPPEN LIKE THAT.

@@MarkelBeverleyNo they haven't. Simple as that. This man's argument was logical and sound. No right-wing person I have ever read or heard make arguments against gun control, have ever put out anything close to this. Their talking points usually revolve around crying "but muh guuuuns! I thought this was 'MERICA!" and that's about it. This man didn't take any sides and just argued logically why taking away guns isn't the solution to the core problem and he outlined what he thinks the core problem is. If you want to make arguments, make some actual good fucking arguments instead of coming into this going "well, we said this all along, you just didn't like how we said it". Yeah no shit. Because you actually did NOT say this all along. Maybe learn how to make logical arguments first. Or just copy the guy in the video. Would probably be the best argument anyways.
@@ThorsShadow The man in this video is right wing. He is a conservative who votes republican. And yes the right has said this ALL ALONG in different ways. You mocking trailer park white men with cammo gear shows your ignorant preconceived notion of the average right wing conservative/republican. His argument is the EXACT same argument the right has been making! Stop PMSing and being so emotional and caught up on "how he said it" and understand that his line of thinking is refreshing but not original.
@ThorsShadow yes, that is what the news media portrays conservatives as. I am actually neither as I like common sense sound reasoning and community based policies, as well as personal responsibility. My point is that the most prolific sources of information is set up by the very people trying to keep us fighting each other. These tiny blurbs coming out is what may change this country. I hope we all vote 3rd party and change this two party control or at least term limits.
Shotguns and rifles in the truck, knives in the pocket.... was well over 3/4 of male students for decades in most of the country and we never even remotely had an issue.
@@sheepj2464The point in a nutshell. What none of the anti-gun crazies ever consider is the lower crime rate in areas where you have massive amounts of concealed carry and stand your ground laws. Scumbags prefer to prey on sheep.
In my school at shop class wood/metal we were forging knives, we had free reign. The only stabbing that ever happened was a girl who stabbed another girl in the head with a pencil which probably was the most violent thing that ever happened in that school. Except for a couple of guys who made a homeade firework in chemistry and blew a small hole in a wall but it was considered more of a prank.
@@sheepj2464 Statistically it is still rare anyone's kids would experience it, despite the increase and the glorification (profiteering really) by news and social media, but it was almost completely unheard of before the last 10-15 years outside of cities. Even if there was a fight, no one pulled a knife or involved a gun, despite having one there they could grab. Almost all of those trucks would also be unlocked, and no one even thought to try and steal the firearms. Now no one is taught how to cope, gets trained for instant gratification and attention seeking, and news glorifying shooters by plastering their face up and making profits off it just gives them the idea they can instantly get their fame that social media and society implies is necessary. People try to say firearms are more accessible, but ignore the fact that in most of the country they have ALWAYS been accessible. Yet we only have this issue the past few decades, and really only exploding the last decade. Lines up pretty well with the successful pushing of some pretty pervasive and disasterous political policies in education and youth society.

I like how the interviewer didn't interrupt and let him say his thoughts. It is so much better to hear clear thoughts than being interrupted just because an opinion is different.
I prefer a discussion, like some rebuttal to statements. Like the fact gun nuts aren't providing any solutions to the devaluation of human life either. Or the fact our gun culture is trash because people like this tell everyone guns are a solution to the gun problem so guns get viewed by many as solutions to any and all problems. Or that the whole bit about loosing rights based on others abusing those rights is absurd. Nobody in a position to do so wants to take his guns, they want common sense gun reforms that will minimize mass shootings by making guns regulated similar to cars. Also he wants to talk about govt doing a bang up job on security, well there are more guns pee capita now than ever before and yet mass shootings are at an all time high so clearly guns have done a shifty job at providing general security either.
Because it's an ad... they fucking set it up with the don't tread on me logo facing camera and everything AND the guy speaking is the one who posted the video... jfc you sheep are so God damn easy to fool.
@@sunkings5972 I prefer a discussion as well which is what I mean with what I said. Discussion however is letting someone talk and the other listening and providing counter arguments. I know emotions can get in the way sometimes so that has a small leeway. To be honest, and to talk about what you said, I don't think there is a solution to that yet. Humans in general have yet to really come to a compromise on other smaller issues before focusing on guns. There are so many variables to how someone attains the guns and why they do. Some attributes include bullying, including cyber and we don't hold ourselves accountable for bullying someone to that point. Some don't even think of hurting others and instead hurt themselves. Also guns are too easy to obtain and I agree with the left that more thorough checks are needed. I disagree however with the comment you made of taking guns away. I wouldn't say it is absurd, the government is not one I simply trust and if we think they are out to help us, then we already lost that battle. They have tried many shady things in the past and gun rights voting is no different. The intention to take away is not lost, even if a vote doesn't succeed. Many have been very adamant about taking guns away completely from the people and that doesn't sit right with me considering how well that turned out for some countries in the past. Guns to me are yes a problem especially in evil hands, but so are fists and any other weapon used to kill. It is not an easy solution to just regulate guns and expect a perminent and better solution besides more detailed checks. Sorry if I didn't have an answer either, I feel your pain on this and I wish it was answered as well because I don't like seeing people so miserable nowadays and always paranoid about a shooting and can't have fun anymore without looking over one's shoulders. Let me ask though, what happened when they tried to ban alcohol? It would start off as a noble thing to try and do away with certain guns but I can't help but see it backfiring in the end because people would find a way eventually to get those guns illegally or settle for another weapon and if a ton of people do so, look out. I am not saying guns are safe or anything, but we live in a reality where if our country doesn't have guns, we are screwed and easy targets if we don't have what we have and there are far too many evil people in this world to not have certain guns. This world is a very nasty place, it doesn't care how many people are lost to guns, medicine, drugs, murder, natural causes, etc. it keeps spinning around. As long as every military is armed, then so too will certain guns sadly exist and be manipulated elsewhere aka the blackmarkets and such. Regulate it all we want, it doesn't change the evil that a human can be capable of. For the gun per capita part and security, yeah I disagree with him on that and agree with you but for different reasons. One, there has never been good security judging by history telling us so repeatedly. Two, yes gun per capita is way more now than ever but not because of what you think. For one, the world population has grown and therefore everything else has with it. More people=more jobs, more guns, more movies, things being more popular than back then, etc. You will probably also hear this alot coming from a republican, but it is a sad truth I hope others realize more: We are the most dangerous things on this Earth, not the guns, not the nuclear stuff, we are. We made the weapons. Strip away certain ones and we will always create another. So yeah security has gotten worse but so have people. They will rob in broad daylight and kill if they have to more so than ever and many times it isn't a gun but rather knives, fists, cars, you name it someone probably used it to kill someone. Guns are not the solution I agree, but neither is having none like some want. If we are stripped of it we will be begging for it back when we have our hands up and the enemy has those same weapons. I wish I had a solution to tell you, I do, but we are both still looking for better answers than the ones we currently have.
he lacks again in logic... your rights are always depending on others. Those who make them, those who make sure they are followed and not broken, and those who stand up against bad laws. And idk how it is in the US in detail, but over here even the most basic rights can be put on hold at least temporarily (like back in the covid pandemic), as long as enough politicians vote for that decision. That guys argumentation gets dumber and dumber...
Your unalienable right to LIFE, liberty and happiness. Almost like the Gun is designed to take away one of those. Actually, it takes away all three of them.
@@tonyanzalone384 Looking at your criminal gun related statistics the low gun laws and therefore those making them really do its job in protecting you.... not. And besides that : Surely your human rights where given to you through others... they are not as universal and untouchable as you might think. I do agree that this is stupid...but thats how it is. It where humans, or more in detail officials that wrote them down and "gave them" to the people. Otherwise we all would still have kings and queens ruling over everybody by force. And a government can .. how to say that... set them "Out of order" temporarily. At least thats what happened over here. I dont think the US will be an exception..
In all fairness, some single-parent kids grow up to do very well for themselves and some kids that knew both parents turn out to be extra-heavy-duty-fucked-up. Happens all the time.
my rural high school too in Pennsylvania. and nobody locked their trucks because everybody knew everybody else's truck and gun. and they were a decent, community oriented people who respected the value of other's property because they had earned their own. that was back in the 80's, when such values were still taught, along with the Pledge of Allegiance.

In NY, they had shot guns(12 and 20 gage) in the truck because in most parts, you could not hunt with a rifle. But the hunter safety training made it very clear that if you point a gun at something, it will be killed. When you don't have hunter safety training, some people think that it is like a video game. No consequences.
Not true at all, there are many people that start fights with other even when the other person might be armed. Some people are obsessed with fighting and will stop at nothing. Even firepower won't stop them from being belligerent--it's inherent in their nature. So, a free society is, by very necessity, at least a slightly violent one.
@@devilsoffspring5519 true, there will definitely still be fights, but at least they can defend themselves because people like that will find ways to get their hands on a Weapon
The second amendment is 100% why 75% of school shooting globally happen in the US. A study came out that showed more than 90% of school shootings were because kids had easy access to their parents guns. Yes you need to abolish the second amendment. Its killing your kids. His argument is moot because killing your kids takes their rights. It takes away a schools ability to defend itself. And puts crowds and places like bars and restaurants at risk. The right to guns KILLS YOUR KIDS. Its not protecting you, its killing you
Yeah, gun lovers usually just put a cocky argument like they would take out the whole world with their guns or how good their guns are to fight crime instead of giving an actual argument like the gentleman here did

@@diveblock2058Yeah pretty much. I'm a Canadian, and we have to take a course that teaches safe firearm usage before we're allowed to own one. I think the system makes a ton of sense doing it that way. The problem is, the NRA and other similar organizations view any sort of minor detour to owning guns the same way they view banning them entirely, so they fight with the same fierosity. And that's where the real problem lies.
@@diveblock2058 you already have to do a background check for a weapon in the US, (and weapon is the reason for the 2nd amendment… “well regulated militia” their primary function is not hunting-tool) so when the govt starts infringing on whether or not you’re allowed to own this or that kind of weapon in your home (banning a certain kind of magazine or rifle) it’s only because they want power over their population, they can’t institute a martial law even if they tried with how the population is armed currently, even with the disadvantage of the everyday American not having a tank or a jet, we could never be conquered. But if everyone has single shot hunting rifles and a 10rd handgun at best, we will become an occupied people soon after, current political problems will only get worse and the economy too, the general population will be exploited while an elite few are pampered and fed grapes in their estates, and when we address our problems you will see our politicians evading discourse arrogantly, free to neglect the population of their careful attention and live indulgently.

Unfortunately, His premise that someone is trying to "Take away your guns" is a LIE. He is arguing against a false premise to avoid the facts. Reformers are fighting for things like universal background checks, denying guns to people with obvious instabilities ect and banning guns with no practical use except rapid (mass) killing ability, all of which he avoids by arguing against a position that no one is advocating.
@@fast9963 this dude is talking about shotguns and hunting... the problem is weapons are AR and weapons modified to become automatic weapons, so his argument is is like already dead. i blame the arms industry, they want a nation away in firearms and all the fear that causes, hoping people will buy more guns because they are scrared of the people with guns.

😂😂 Guns don't kill ppl Ppl do. Protection should be a right not a privilege . Teachers and quality control officers trained to provide quick response time can curve violence
Can you imagine not screaming, foaming at the mouth, and cussing when speaking to someone who doesn't agree with you? Haven't seen this in years. I've never been able to do it😅, but I have dreamed about it.
Yeah, I disagree with his position, but he makes a good point. Guns aren’t the cause of shootings, they’re just the method. We should improve mental health, or make anyone who buys a gun take a psych eval first before banning them completely. That being said, I think the number of gun fatalities would fall drastically if they were illegal. You’re 3 times as likely to get shot when you have one.
@Fartacus44 what does a psych eval consist of? It's not like an IQ test. Can't be like the one the officers take, not for the average citizen, might be a constitutional problem🤷🏾♀️ Whose statistics are those? My mistrust level is high after these last few years. Did you hear/read that most countries with dictatorships removed citizen rights to own guns first? Maybe the best course is mandatory safety classes...know better do better🤷🏾♀️
Just need a proper system to earn the right to own a gun, if you can't handle it safely and know how the thing works and keep it out of reach of kids its a bigger risk than a safety measure
Agreed. I've been saying to many that mental illness is probably the biggest culprit to mass shootings, and yet we aren't making therapists easily accessible to individuals. We get eye check ups once a year, OBGYN examines, teeth cleanings, full body dermatologist check up. Where is the check up for the mind?
In the mid 80s i took a pump shotgun to school and did a presentation on gun saftey and cleaning the gun in jr high school !!! No issues and got an "a" !!!!
The students and staff who came from large urban areas they were the ones who couldn't get over guns racks in trucks. People hunting on the way home. Nobody messing with them almost like we were taught to respect them. But if we went to bigger cities guns had to stay home. Just can't figure out why??? Overtime by late 80s we lost that ability. More and more "city folk" moving in our district. They became intimidated by the site of gun racks.
In the mid 80s I was in a language arts class in Junior High where another student brought in a long gun (rifle or shotgun, I can't remember) for a demonstration speech. There was no issues.
As recent as my time in high school in the early 00s, I had a friend who frequently went hunting in the early AM before school and had his rifle, shotgun or compound bow in his truck while in the school parking lot (along with a dead deer in his truck bed a time or two). On a different occasion in 7th grade, either my teacher (or maybe a parent, I can’t remember) brought in a WWI-era milsurp rifle to my history class because we were studying the war. Not sure if it had been neutered or not, but the bolt action worked and we were allowed to take turns holding it.
In the mid ‘80’s, I took a speech class in college. We were to do a demonstration speech. I brought in a pump shotgun, a semiautomatic rifle, a lever-action rifle, a revolver, and a semiautomatic pistol to demonstrate gun safety and proper use methods for each. Imagine doing that today!
Gun safety courses are not even a requirement in many states. It should 100% be a requirement to go through a safety course to own a gun, but conservatives believe that's socialism and against the 2nd amendment, so instead we get idiots who always have their finger on the trigger, don't know how to turn the safety on, don't know how to clear their weapon, and flag people around them while showing off their "piece".
There were no mass shooting before? UT tower shooting in 1966, but in fact predating that incident, and as early as 1891.The reasons that led to the August 1966 University of Texas sniper shootings and the perception that this incident was the first mass shootings in the country, not only demonstrates how our society acknowledges why violent crime happens, but also how the past is remembered through the perception of what is morally right and wrong.
@@dragonbread4dasoulnot at all, wtf are you talking about. I myself am not an avid supporter of gun rights, in fact I would say I am more against them than for them, but dont “misconstrue” his point just to make your own argument, and diminish his.
Pffffff, "there were no mass shootings" There were less mass shootings back when Federal Assault Weapons Ban was active before 2004. Which means gun control worked. What a moron.

yeah obviously if you shoot somewhere up youre mentally ill but the access to guns is 100% the biggest and most fixable issue. no. other. countries. have. this. issue. its insane even in fucking south sudan or whatever other country is in a war zone wont even have mass shootings on schools bc it is horribly disrespectful in many cultures to do so. american culture has ruined some people who are mentally ill and need just one excuse to go out and kill many people quickly. and the way they achieve that is with a gun a firearm whatever you want to call it. if they dont have the gun, how are they supposed to shoot somewhere up? fixing their mental issues takes a lot of time and is on an individual basis. addressing the gun issue and fixing it as a whole would take significantly less time than fixing the mental health of every american. not only that but what is america doing to support those in poor mental health? fuck they dont even give insurance for physical health so they definitely dont give mental help for free. its all fucked many things have to change before shootings become even more the norm than it already is.
Its both. I think we could do more to regulate guns, though banning them would never work and is a bad idea. I think we also need to address the mental health issues, poor schooling, and horrible law enforcement that leads to shootings. If we had better public schooling that kids actually wanted to be involved in, we wouldnt have these problems. If you had to prove you actually know how to responsibly store and use a gun to own one, it would help. If police actually acted when theyre called on to act, it could stop a shooting in the middle. Ultimately i think the biggest difference we could make is to provide more funding to public schools for programs that both improve education and make the students happier.
Bro his argument was essentially, we need to remind society of the value of human life, which seems a lot harder to do than just banning semi-automatic, handguns, rifles, and shotguns through legislation. Not all guns would be illegal, bolt/pump action weapons would be available for self defense and hunting. Tell me why I’m wrong.
@@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206 the generation of the boomers then have to admit only a few of them actually were real parents. The rest just had a kid and let the kid do whatever the fuck they want now we’re dealing with it. No discipline and no fear from any of the kids nowadays and where oh where should that be instilled into them hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Age has nothing to do with understanding. I’m not old and I understand that guns are a right as an American, and that right should not be infringed. Someone owning a gun does not make that person dangerous, it is what is in their mind, how do they look at human life?
I really don't care what the problem is, I just know that most people don't know how to fight like we had to when I was younger. Most fights are over within seconds.
@Nick-fg4dq hard but not impossible, also I never heard of a criminal respecting the law, im sure most criminals will just hand right over if guns are banned lol
@@Nick-fg4dq not really, the department of justice describes a mass shooting as someone shooting at least 4 people. most shotguns hold 8 rounds, and cand be shot and cycled in a few seconds. Shotguns can also have a pretty decent range when in close quarters. Thats why the military and police use them.
@@Nick-fg4dqI mean considering they hold multiple rounds and it will fire as fast as the person can shoot you indeed can commit a mass shooting with a shotgun. I’m confused as to how you think otherwise.
I dont think it's entirely mental health related. It's certainly a major part but it's not everything. Guns are too easy to get imho. There needs to be more and better tests and background checks along with competency testing every few years. There's also a massive cultural problem of violent extremism in recent years and that's absolutely part of it
Guns dont solve those problems though. Its tests to ensure you are capable of operating a weapon safely, that you do not have intentions to do anything untoward and that you have been mentally healthy/stable for a while. Y'all barely register your weapons. Anyone can technically just resell the gun it will be nearly impossible to trace. Have guns! All for it, but prove that you can, not only financially, but also mentally. Exactly like a car

There were no mass shooting before? UT tower shooting in 1966, but in fact predating that incident, and as early as 1891.The reasons that led to the August 1966 University of Texas sniper shootings and the perception that this incident was the first mass shootings in the country, not only demonstrates how our society acknowledges why violent crime happens, but also how the past is remembered through the perception of what is morally right and wrong
PERFECTLY PUT. I want Nick to run for President in 2028. I will definitely vote for this man IF he keeps his political positions as they currently stand.
Absolutely. I know many guys from high school who had guns in their trucks and they also had pocket knives. When they disagreed they had a fist fight after school. Nobody brought out a knife or a gun.
When did you go to high school? I went in the early 70s when there was desegregation. You better bet there were knives pulled from pockets on the regular. There were assaults in the bathrooms, mostly girls having earrings or necklaces ripped off their person by another girl who felt entitled to the jewelry, or one kid jumped by a group from another race. It wasn't pretty.
@@evasokolek4616 I agree with Cara. I went to school in the 60s and 70s, but in a smaller, rural area, where following the rules because it was the decent thing to do was adhered to better than in the big cities. Literally every kid in school had folding pocket knives in their pockets. And there were fist fights, for sure. But everyone knew better than to haul out that knife and amp up the conflict in that way in order try and gain some half-a&&ed advantage in the fight, first because they knew the vice principal would smack that thing out of their hands and confiscate it, then beat them bloody if necessary to control the situation, or at least bend them over the nearest teacher's desk and paddle them painfully and humiliatingly, expel them, and prefer charges against them if it became a matter for the sheriff. You didn't mess with Mr. Elswick, and every tough kid in school knew it. And second because they knew when they got home, their dad would make them _really_ regret it. Also, they'd be a black sheep at home, in the community, at church, labeled a bad seed. Total loss of reputation in a small town was a lot, back then. But then big city attitudes slowly started weaseling their ways into small towns, causing a lot of that small town respect for authority to get leached away. For something 'better'....
@evasokolek4616 sounds like big city problems. The truth is all of this is only an issue when you cram humans together like sardines. If we stopped big cities forming we would have far less of these issues
When I went to school (mostly in the 1980's), I never heard of anyone pulling their knife for a fist fight. That would have been viewed as cowardly and dishonorable, the kind of thing a thug would do. Almost all of us had pocket knives. We just didn't use them in fights. I went to school in a rural area though.
@@gewgulkansuhckitt9086yep. It was the height of cowardice to consider bringing a weapon to a fist fight. Also, nobody ever called the police for fighting. That was also embarrassing. As long as the fight was fair and nobody got jumped, it was considered over.
I’ll be honest. Been pretty anti gun this whole time but this guy makes a really good point. Not only that, but he explains it calmly rather than saying the libtards want to take his right to shoot people away. Wish people would talk like this
I wish most liberals were able to discuss these issues calmly, logically and coherently. Instead, what we mostly see from the left are demands, propaganda, false promises, race-baiting and insults.
@@robertthomas583 not really the anti gun side and more of just both sides talk heavy shit instead of actually trying to figure things out. From personal experience I usually see republicans and conservatives be on the more aggressive side but I know for sure we have our fair share of idiots as well.
My dad in the early 70s forgot he had a pistol in his hunting jacket after coming to school from a morning hunt. Walked himself to the principals office and handed the holsters gun to him. It was held till the end of the day. No lock down, no cops, no shots fired, no punishment.
Perfectly explained. Not to mention all that he said, but also criminals will find a way. Ban or put heavier laws on guns, criminals will still find a way to obtain and use them.
The best counterargument against this guy is his own voting record. He says the issue is related to mental health and then votes against providing mental health resources to his own constituents. Such a slimy hypocrite
I graduated 2010 and we got questioned by the OCO because they did routine checks. We forgot to take one of the shotguns off the rack and the bed of the truck was full of ejected rounds. It was the middle of dove season and I’m from DFW. They just laughed and sent us back to class.
I could listen to people talk like this all day no matter what side theyre coming from. I love when people talk with such passion on a subject. Need more people like this.
Especially when they’re not condescending and they’re truly trying to make you see things from their perspective. That’s what’s wrong with society now. Everyone wants to talk at each other and insult one another instead of opening up an educational, informative dialogue. It’s a problem on all sides of the political spectrum.
Exactly. I've had as many random conversations as the next guy, and I think most of us will find that the most enjoyable conversations are when your verbal opponent and you are both active and open to understanding each other, and explaining your point of view like he did.
In high school I always kept a gun in my truck during hunting season. One afternoon the principal stopped me, pointed at the shotgun on my gun rack and asked, "Is that a Remington or Winchester?" That's as far as the concern ever got.
…..and none of them locked the doors and had the windows rolled down. Not one single person ever gotten any guns or trucks stolen. Vastly different times. We also never locked the front door when we left to go anywhere…… just in case a neighbor might need something. We took care of each other.
When was this? I’m just curious. My grandpa used to tell me he would ride his bike as a young boy with a .22 rifle slung around his back and go out to the fields near his house to hunt small game. Neighbors never cared and cops were never called. By the time I went to high school between 2013-2017 you couldn’t bring a lighter, knife, or any other tools some might consider weapons. Couldn’t imagine the response now a days if a high school kid had a gun in their truck. Probably a full police response. Shit I carried a lighter for my welding class and almost got in big trouble for it. I carried one because the flint spark lighters never worked because kids messed with them and they were always out of flint. Started carrying a lighter and one day some faculty member saw it when I went to pull out my phone. Was using the calculator on my phone. Almost got into a ton of trouble, took a bit of convincing that I wasn’t using it to smoke and needed it for a class. Wish I could experience the old days sometimes. Especially the prices.
No one EVER threatened to take guns away. Why can’t we have commone sense gun laws. I agree with this gentleman 100 percent. I too remember guns in the back glass of pickup trucks in the school parking lot. We need better regulation period.
I agree with him. I was born in 1952 in a small town with vets coming home and they would go out hunting for meat on their tables and others who had a hard time in hard times. when I went to school seeing rifle on gun rakes in truck was normal and I was never afraid. I was made aware of those vets who saw so much and would come home very old and some were suffering from the war battles and what they saw. but you learn to be kind to them and listen to them. but no one get killed by them in my town.
@MarcusRiedner Yes, there were still school shootings, but it was such a minimal amount that nobody even really knew about them enough for it to be a huge problem. You say there were 31 school shootings in that decade, well that averages out to approximately 3 shootings per year, which, spread out across the entirety of the U.S. I'm assuming, correct me if I'm wrong, added with the fact they didn't have the same electronic communication we have today, leaves barely any people to know about a school shooting, and if they did, they rarely saw it so it was less of a "this is a major issue we need to fix" and more of a "that's horrible, the guy who did that is aweful." Granted, any amount of school shootings is horrible, it shouldn't be happening whatsoever, but ultimately, the point they were getting at is that guns were much more prominent back then, and yet shootings were much MUCH rarer. In these past couple year alone I'd guess we've had a LOT more than 31 school shootings.
Yeah it's far more peaceful and less violent now but the way he tells it you'd think the opposite. The internet changed how we see each other and not in a good way.
I wish the idiots in the comments understood how things change and rules often need to change with them. Guns were also pretty different even just 20 years ago.
@@asksalottle220how were guns different 20 years ago? I had a semiautomatic 22lr when I was 12, in the late 80s. It has the same rate of fire and shoots the same round as the semiautomatic 22lr AR.
@@LeahChea-xq6luExactly what the other person said. Give your opinion on how to solve the problem without taking everyone's firearms away, and effectively stripping them of their right to bear arms.
Not really idk why he just glosses over the simple fact that people can get guns too easily in this country im very pro gun but I also live in Georgia so seeing groups of young kids going around with guns holding people up at red lights is a little alarming how about more regulations and rules on what can and can’t be done at a gun show and also begin requiring more extensive background checks, psychological checks, and require training just like you have to do when you get a hunting license. The second you start mentioning more regulations tho these people go insane and act like you’re gonna steal their guns like if these laws were implemented it literally would not affect anybody who is a current gun owner
I have said this a hundred times. When you teach a kid that the most important aspect of life is your feelings. Don't be surprised when they act on those feelings. Teaching a kid that their feeling and identity can not be questioned is a recipe for disaster. Parents and teachers should be telling kids to control their feeling.
Despite the Brady group getting credit for it, the NRA came up with the idea of the instant background check, which liberals, including Biden, Schumer, Feinstein, etc. hated ,because it made their beloved and ridiculous waiting periods, which have gotten people, like several single women, murdered by stalkers or ex's. unnecessary. Where people get that we are against those things, I do not know. What we are against is like, let's say here in Oregon where they are trying to get a law through that requires you to get another background check, which uses the same system you already used before, so you're paying for the same thing twice, to get a permit, which is unconstitutional because you don't need permits to exercise a right, in order to buy a gun. Or in the case of private transfers, which people researched and discovered it's so uncommon for a legal owner to sell a gun for criminal use that it's almost unmeasurable. There are some that if you took them literally, like the one in Washington State, you would actually have to get a background check to hand your gun to someone, say at a range or wherever, then another to get it back. That may have been corrected since, but the original law could be interpreted that way. I don't know where the anti-mental health thing comes from, I have never heard that mentioned ever by the group. The other thing is, people don't understand, the NRA may be the oldest and largest, but there are many others beyond it.
I really like how he put this, he didn't sound all mad and irritated, he wasn't yelling and shaking his fists, he was super chill and actually gave reasons, evidence and questions that he answered himself. Did a great job👍
@@WBHARR1 They mean nothing by it it's a simple insult to try to get an emotional reaction. For some reason these weak soft people think that if you react and use your strength to shut their point of view down for some reason you're a bad person because they are weak and unable to hold their ground and defend their beliefs with the only thing that gives you're the right to have your own beliefs which is power and strength. At the end of the day an ignorant small-minded man who is willing to use violence is always more powerful than kind people who will allow themselves to be dominated and treated as prey because it's the "good" thing. They confuse being harmless with being kind. When you're actually incapable of being kind unless you're capable of unmeasurable violence. It's not kind to be nice in order to survive its kind when you could kill everybody in the room but you don't.

The second we started telling young boys they didn't matter, and telling fathers they weren't necessary our society began its slow but steady collapse.
@Lmwpitt Actually, it's not. Only the criminals have guns, and those that don't have the connections have switched to mass stabbings. So all they have done is switch weapons and create defenseless victims.
I grew up in Reno in the 80’s and it was the same. Hunting rifles or shotguns in every truck back window in the parking lot. Windows open, doors never locked. Not stolen, no shootings. Unfortunately some states want to make it very difficult for law abiding citizens to carry. Criminals have little fear of the average citizen carrying.
Too bad there are massive amounts of traitors in this country at all levels. So if you think for one second that they care about this nation or its history, rights, freedoms or guns. Then the dumbed down sheep will be easier to lead to the slaugher then I realized. This immigration dumping ground is the easiest dying superpower empire to ever invade and buy out from within. You suckers are far too dumb to know who is really playing you or calling the shots to your own demise.

If you want to make arguments, make some actual good fucking arguments instead of coming into this going "well, we said this all along, you just didn't like how we said it". Yeah no shit. Because you actually did NOT say this all along. Maybe learn how to make logical arguments first. Or just copy the guy in the video. Would probably be the best argument anyways.
@@ThorsShadow The man in this video is right wing. He is a conservative who votes republican. And yes the right has said this ALL ALONG in different ways. You mocking trailer park white men with cammo gear shows your ignorant preconceived notion of the average right wing conservative/republican.

Stop PMSing and being so emotional and caught up on "how he said it" and understand that his line of thinking is refreshing but not original.

Shotguns and rifles in the truck, knives in the pocket.... was well over 3/4 of male students for decades in most of the country and we never even remotely had an issue.
There were problems but not on the scale we had now , plus you do t want to pull a gun when 30 people also have guns
@@sheepj2464The point in a nutshell.
What none of the anti-gun crazies ever consider is the lower crime rate in areas where you have massive amounts of concealed carry and stand your ground laws.
Scumbags prefer to prey on sheep.
you forgot about the fishing pole for when everything else was out of season
In my school at shop class wood/metal we were forging knives, we had free reign. The only stabbing that ever happened was a girl who stabbed another girl in the head with a pencil which probably was the most violent thing that ever happened in that school. Except for a couple of guys who made a homeade firework in chemistry and blew a small hole in a wall but it was considered more of a prank.
@@sheepj2464 Statistically it is still rare anyone's kids would experience it, despite the increase and the glorification (profiteering really) by news and social media, but it was almost completely unheard of before the last 10-15 years outside of cities. Even if there was a fight, no one pulled a knife or involved a gun, despite having one there they could grab. Almost all of those trucks would also be unlocked, and no one even thought to try and steal the firearms.
Now no one is taught how to cope, gets trained for instant gratification and attention seeking, and news glorifying shooters by plastering their face up and making profits off it just gives them the idea they can instantly get their fame that social media and society implies is necessary. People try to say firearms are more accessible, but ignore the fact that in most of the country they have ALWAYS been accessible. Yet we only have this issue the past few decades, and really only exploding the last decade. Lines up pretty well with the successful pushing of some pretty pervasive and disasterous political policies in education and youth society.
the right to defend yourself should never be up to debate

correct we live in a culture that glorifies gun violence and fetishizes guns and most the people in these comments proves my statement true.
I like how the interviewer didn't interrupt and let him say his thoughts. It is so much better to hear clear thoughts than being interrupted just because an opinion is different.
I prefer a discussion, like some rebuttal to statements. Like the fact gun nuts aren't providing any solutions to the devaluation of human life either. Or the fact our gun culture is trash because people like this tell everyone guns are a solution to the gun problem so guns get viewed by many as solutions to any and all problems. Or that the whole bit about loosing rights based on others abusing those rights is absurd. Nobody in a position to do so wants to take his guns, they want common sense gun reforms that will minimize mass shootings by making guns regulated similar to cars. Also he wants to talk about govt doing a bang up job on security, well there are more guns pee capita now than ever before and yet mass shootings are at an all time high so clearly guns have done a shifty job at providing general security either.

@@sunkings5972 I prefer a discussion as well which is what I mean with what I said. Discussion however is letting someone talk and the other listening and providing counter arguments. I know emotions can get in the way sometimes so that has a small leeway. To be honest, and to talk about what you said, I don't think there is a solution to that yet. Humans in general have yet to really come to a compromise on other smaller issues before focusing on guns. There are so many variables to how someone attains the guns and why they do. Some attributes include bullying, including cyber and we don't hold ourselves accountable for bullying someone to that point. Some don't even think of hurting others and instead hurt themselves. Also guns are too easy to obtain and I agree with the left that more thorough checks are needed. I disagree however with the comment you made of taking guns away. I wouldn't say it is absurd, the government is not one I simply trust and if we think they are out to help us, then we already lost that battle. They have tried many shady things in the past and gun rights voting is no different. The intention to take away is not lost, even if a vote doesn't succeed. Many have been very adamant about taking guns away completely from the people and that doesn't sit right with me considering how well that turned out for some countries in the past. Guns to me are yes a problem especially in evil hands, but so are fists and any other weapon used to kill. It is not an easy solution to just regulate guns and expect a perminent and better solution besides more detailed checks. Sorry if I didn't have an answer either, I feel your pain on this and I wish it was answered as well because I don't like seeing people so miserable nowadays and always paranoid about a shooting and can't have fun anymore without looking over one's shoulders. Let me ask though, what happened when they tried to ban alcohol? It would start off as a noble thing to try and do away with certain guns but I can't help but see it backfiring in the end because people would find a way eventually to get those guns illegally or settle for another weapon and if a ton of people do so, look out. I am not saying guns are safe or anything, but we live in a reality where if our country doesn't have guns, we are screwed and easy targets if we don't have what we have and there are far too many evil people in this world to not have certain guns. This world is a very nasty place, it doesn't care how many people are lost to guns, medicine, drugs, murder, natural causes, etc. it keeps spinning around. As long as every military is armed, then so too will certain guns sadly exist and be manipulated elsewhere aka the blackmarkets and such. Regulate it all we want, it doesn't change the evil that a human can be capable of. For the gun per capita part and security, yeah I disagree with him on that and agree with you but for different reasons. One, there has never been good security judging by history telling us so repeatedly. Two, yes gun per capita is way more now than ever but not because of what you think. For one, the world population has grown and therefore everything else has with it. More people=more jobs, more guns, more movies, things being more popular than back then, etc. You will probably also hear this alot coming from a republican, but it is a sad truth I hope others realize more: We are the most dangerous things on this Earth, not the guns, not the nuclear stuff, we are. We made the weapons. Strip away certain ones and we will always create another. So yeah security has gotten worse but so have people. They will rob in broad daylight and kill if they have to more so than ever and many times it isn't a gun but rather knives, fists, cars, you name it someone probably used it to kill someone. Guns are not the solution I agree, but neither is having none like some want. If we are stripped of it we will be begging for it back when we have our hands up and the enemy has those same weapons. I wish I had a solution to tell you, I do, but we are both still looking for better answers than the ones we currently have.
Thats why I don't engage in these types of conversations anymore... I HATE being interrupted...
When your "rights" depend on others...
Absolutely correct!
he lacks again in logic... your rights are always depending on others. Those who make them, those who make sure they are followed and not broken, and those who stand up against bad laws.

In NY, they had shot guns(12 and 20 gage) in the truck because in most parts, you could not hunt with a rifle.

His argument is moot because killing your kids takes their rights. It takes away a schools ability to defend itself. And puts crowds and places like bars and restaurants at risk.
The right to guns KILLS YOUR KIDS. Its not protecting you, its killing you
There's no compassion with semi-automatic weapons. They are made purely for murder. Shotguns are not what they use in mass school shootings.

@@diveblock2058Yeah pretty much. I'm a Canadian, and we have to take a course that teaches safe firearm usage before we're allowed to own one. I think the system makes a ton of sense doing it that way. The problem is, the NRA and other similar organizations view any sort of minor detour to owning guns the same way they view banning them entirely, so they fight with the same fierosity. And that's where the real problem lies.
@@TheLynxer I mean if I was basically funded by guns like the NRA are then I would also hate the notion
@@diveblock2058 you already have to do a background check for a weapon in the US, (and weapon is the reason for the 2nd amendment… “well regulated militia” their primary function is not hunting-tool) so when the govt starts infringing on whether or not you’re allowed to own this or that kind of weapon in your home (banning a certain kind of magazine or rifle) it’s only because they want power over their population, they can’t institute a martial law even if they tried with how the population is armed currently, even with the disadvantage of the everyday American not having a tank or a jet, we could never be conquered. But if everyone has single shot hunting rifles and a 10rd handgun at best, we will become an occupied people soon after, current political problems will only get worse and the economy too, the general population will be exploited while an elite few are pampered and fed grapes in their estates, and when we address our problems you will see our politicians evading discourse arrogantly, free to neglect the population of their careful attention and live indulgently.
Therapy costs should be reduced. Many people who need help and are even willing to go to therapy voluntarily might not even have the money to do it.

you can't just lower therapy costs, the therpaist controls their own price. If a good therapist lowers their price a lot, then others will lower as well in order to compete.

Haven't seen this in years. I've never been able to do it😅, but I have dreamed about it.
Yeah, I disagree with his position, but he makes a good point. Guns aren’t the cause of shootings, they’re just the method. We should improve mental health, or make anyone who buys a gun take a psych eval first before banning them completely. That being said, I think the number of gun fatalities would fall drastically if they were illegal. You’re 3 times as likely to get shot when you have one.
@Fartacus44 what does a psych eval consist of? It's not like an IQ test.
Can't be like the one the officers take, not for the average citizen, might be a constitutional problem🤷🏾♀️

Maybe the best course is mandatory safety classes...know better do better🤷🏾♀️
This man is a champion. Very well said.
Give this man a national platform!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Thats probably one of the better defences ive heard and its the truth
The thing is, it doesn't need defending. It's a right.
Just need a proper system to earn the right to own a gun, if you can't handle it safely and know how the thing works and keep it out of reach of kids its a bigger risk than a safety measure
@user-vs1zf8uw9o rights DO need defending in America. They shouldn't but they do unfortunately.
I was just thinking the same thing!
Agreed. I've been saying to many that mental illness is probably the biggest culprit to mass shootings, and yet we aren't making therapists easily accessible to individuals. We get eye check ups once a year, OBGYN examines, teeth cleanings, full body dermatologist check up. Where is the check up for the mind?
In the mid 80s i took a pump shotgun to school and did a presentation on gun saftey and cleaning the gun in jr high school !!! No issues and got an "a" !!!!
The students and staff who came from large urban areas they were the ones who couldn't get over guns racks in trucks. People hunting on the way home. Nobody messing with them almost like we were taught to respect them.
But if we went to bigger cities guns had to stay home. Just can't figure out why???
Overtime by late 80s we lost that ability. More and more "city folk" moving in our district. They became intimidated by the site of gun racks.
In the mid 80s I was in a language arts class in Junior High where another student brought in a long gun (rifle or shotgun, I can't remember) for a demonstration speech. There was no issues.
As recent as my time in high school in the early 00s, I had a friend who frequently went hunting in the early AM before school and had his rifle, shotgun or compound bow in his truck while in the school parking lot (along with a dead deer in his truck bed a time or two).
On a different occasion in 7th grade, either my teacher (or maybe a parent, I can’t remember) brought in a WWI-era milsurp rifle to my history class because we were studying the war. Not sure if it had been neutered or not, but the bolt action worked and we were allowed to take turns holding it.
In the mid ‘80’s, I took a speech class in college. We were to do a demonstration speech. I brought in a pump shotgun, a semiautomatic rifle, a lever-action rifle, a revolver, and a semiautomatic pistol to demonstrate gun safety and proper use methods for each. Imagine doing that today!
Gun safety courses are not even a requirement in many states. It should 100% be a requirement to go through a safety course to own a gun, but conservatives believe that's socialism and against the 2nd amendment, so instead we get idiots who always have their finger on the trigger, don't know how to turn the safety on, don't know how to clear their weapon, and flag people around them while showing off their "piece".

yeah obviously if you shoot somewhere up youre mentally ill but the access to guns is 100% the biggest and most fixable issue. no. other. countries. have. this. issue. its insane even in fucking south sudan or whatever other country is in a war zone wont even have mass shootings on schools bc it is horribly disrespectful in many cultures to do so. american culture has ruined some people who are mentally ill and need just one excuse to go out and kill many people quickly. and the way they achieve that is with a gun a firearm whatever you want to call it. if they dont have the gun, how are they supposed to shoot somewhere up? fixing their mental issues takes a lot of time and is on an individual basis. addressing the gun issue and fixing it as a whole would take significantly less time than fixing the mental health of every american. not only that but what is america doing to support those in poor mental health? fuck they dont even give insurance for physical health so they definitely dont give mental help for free. its all fucked many things have to change before shootings become even more the norm than it already is.
Its both. I think we could do more to regulate guns, though banning them would never work and is a bad idea. I think we also need to address the mental health issues, poor schooling, and horrible law enforcement that leads to shootings. If we had better public schooling that kids actually wanted to be involved in, we wouldnt have these problems. If you had to prove you actually know how to responsibly store and use a gun to own one, it would help. If police actually acted when theyre called on to act, it could stop a shooting in the middle. Ultimately i think the biggest difference we could make is to provide more funding to public schools for programs that both improve education and make the students happier.

@@Nick-fg4dq not really, the department of justice describes a mass shooting as someone shooting at least 4 people. most shotguns hold 8 rounds, and cand be shot and cycled in a few seconds. Shotguns can also have a pretty decent range when in close quarters. Thats why the military and police use them.

Agreed. Address the mental issues that many teenagers have that go unnoticed not the guns that are meant to protect
I dont think it's entirely mental health related. It's certainly a major part but it's not everything. Guns are too easy to get imho. There needs to be more and better tests and background checks along with competency testing every few years. There's also a massive cultural problem of violent extremism in recent years and that's absolutely part of it
@@MintSergalyeah like we need more than just “you want a gun?, ok!”
Guns dont solve those problems though. Its tests to ensure you are capable of operating a weapon safely, that you do not have intentions to do anything untoward and that you have been mentally healthy/stable for a while. Y'all barely register your weapons. Anyone can technically just resell the gun it will be nearly impossible to trace. Have guns! All for it, but prove that you can, not only financially, but also mentally. Exactly like a car

Absolutely. I know many guys from high school who had guns in their trucks and they also had pocket knives. When they disagreed they had a fist fight after school. Nobody brought out a knife or a gun.
When did you go to high school? I went in the early 70s when there was desegregation. You better bet there were knives pulled from pockets on the regular. There were assaults in the bathrooms, mostly girls having earrings or necklaces ripped off their person by another girl who felt entitled to the jewelry, or one kid jumped by a group from another race. It wasn't pretty.
@@evasokolek4616 I agree with Cara. I went to school in the 60s and 70s, but in a smaller, rural area, where following the rules because it was the decent thing to do was adhered to better than in the big cities. Literally every kid in school had folding pocket knives in their pockets. And there were fist fights, for sure. But everyone knew better than to haul out that knife and amp up the conflict in that way in order try and gain some half-a&&ed advantage in the fight, first because they knew the vice principal would smack that thing out of their hands and confiscate it, then beat them bloody if necessary to control the situation, or at least bend them over the nearest teacher's desk and paddle them painfully and humiliatingly, expel them, and prefer charges against them if it became a matter for the sheriff. You didn't mess with Mr. Elswick, and every tough kid in school knew it. And second because they knew when they got home, their dad would make them _really_ regret it. Also, they'd be a black sheep at home, in the community, at church, labeled a bad seed. Total loss of reputation in a small town was a lot, back then.
But then big city attitudes slowly started weaseling their ways into small towns, causing a lot of that small town respect for authority to get leached away. For something 'better'....
@evasokolek4616 sounds like big city problems. The truth is all of this is only an issue when you cram humans together like sardines. If we stopped big cities forming we would have far less of these issues
When I went to school (mostly in the 1980's), I never heard of anyone pulling their knife for a fist fight. That would have been viewed as cowardly and dishonorable, the kind of thing a thug would do. Almost all of us had pocket knives. We just didn't use them in fights. I went to school in a rural area though.
@@gewgulkansuhckitt9086yep. It was the height of cowardice to consider bringing a weapon to a fist fight. Also, nobody ever called the police for fighting. That was also embarrassing. As long as the fight was fair and nobody got jumped, it was considered over.

Exactly. I've had as many random conversations as the next guy, and I think most of us will find that the most enjoyable conversations are when your verbal opponent and you are both active and open to understanding each other, and explaining your point of view like he did.
In high school I always kept a gun in my truck during hunting season. One afternoon the principal stopped me, pointed at the shotgun on my gun rack and asked, "Is that a Remington or Winchester?" That's as far as the concern ever got.
W
"[Why that is a 12-gauge double barrel Remington, blue cobalt steel, walnut stock, and was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Top of the line!]"
…..and none of them locked the doors and had the windows rolled down. Not one single person ever gotten any guns or trucks stolen. Vastly different times.
We also never locked the front door when we left to go anywhere…… just in case a neighbor might need something. We took care of each other.
When was this? I’m just curious.
My grandpa used to tell me he would ride his bike as a young boy with a .22 rifle slung around his back and go out to the fields near his house to hunt small game. Neighbors never cared and cops were never called.
By the time I went to high school between 2013-2017 you couldn’t bring a lighter, knife, or any other tools some might consider weapons. Couldn’t imagine the response now a days if a high school kid had a gun in their truck. Probably a full police response.
Shit I carried a lighter for my welding class and almost got in big trouble for it. I carried one because the flint spark lighters never worked because kids messed with them and they were always out of flint. Started carrying a lighter and one day some faculty member saw it when I went to pull out my phone. Was using the calculator on my phone. Almost got into a ton of trouble, took a bit of convincing that I wasn’t using it to smoke and needed it for a class.
Wish I could experience the old days sometimes. Especially the prices.

True we need to look into why the mental health is declining so bad.
He is ALWAYS SPOT ON WITH NOT ONLY THE TRUTH, BUT COMMON SENSE!!!
I agree with him. I was born in 1952 in a small town with vets coming home and they would go out hunting for meat on their tables and others who had a hard time in hard times. when I went to school seeing rifle on gun rakes in truck was normal and I was never afraid. I was made aware of those vets who saw so much and would come home very old and some were suffering from the war battles and what they saw. but you learn to be kind to them and listen to them. but no one get killed by them in my town.
Hell I remember going to school and students had rifles and shotguns in their rifle racks as well, and you know what, students didn't get shot.

31 mass shootings in the decade he was in primary school. 31 is a lot more than zero.
@MarcusRiedner Yes, there were still school shootings, but it was such a minimal amount that nobody even really knew about them enough for it to be a huge problem. You say there were 31 school shootings in that decade, well that averages out to approximately 3 shootings per year, which, spread out across the entirety of the U.S. I'm assuming, correct me if I'm wrong, added with the fact they didn't have the same electronic communication we have today, leaves barely any people to know about a school shooting, and if they did, they rarely saw it so it was less of a "this is a major issue we need to fix" and more of a "that's horrible, the guy who did that is aweful." Granted, any amount of school shootings is horrible, it shouldn't be happening whatsoever, but ultimately, the point they were getting at is that guns were much more prominent back then, and yet shootings were much MUCH rarer. In these past couple year alone I'd guess we've had a LOT more than 31 school shootings.

The second you start mentioning more regulations tho these people go insane and act like you’re gonna steal their guns like if these laws were implemented it literally would not affect anybody who is a current gun owner
Spot on. This man for president 🎉
I have said this a hundred times. When you teach a kid that the most important aspect of life is your feelings. Don't be surprised when they act on those feelings. Teaching a kid that their feeling and identity can not be questioned is a recipe for disaster. Parents and teachers should be telling kids to control their feeling.
He's right. But why is NRA against background and mental health checks?
I think because it supports the privilege mentality instead of the rights mentality. Focus on the core issue around the value of human life.
Despite the Brady group getting credit for it, the NRA came up with the idea of the instant background check, which liberals, including Biden, Schumer, Feinstein, etc. hated ,because it made their beloved and ridiculous waiting periods, which have gotten people, like several single women, murdered by stalkers or ex's. unnecessary. Where people get that we are against those things, I do not know. What we are against is like, let's say here in Oregon where they are trying to get a law through that requires you to get another background check, which uses the same system you already used before, so you're paying for the same thing twice, to get a permit, which is unconstitutional because you don't need permits to exercise a right, in order to buy a gun. Or in the case of private transfers, which people researched and discovered it's so uncommon for a legal owner to sell a gun for criminal use that it's almost unmeasurable. There are some that if you took them literally, like the one in Washington State, you would actually have to get a background check to hand your gun to someone, say at a range or wherever, then another to get it back. That may have been corrected since, but the original law could be interpreted that way. I don't know where the anti-mental health thing comes from, I have never heard that mentioned ever by the group. The other thing is, people don't understand, the NRA may be the oldest and largest, but there are many others beyond it.

At the end of the day an ignorant small-minded man who is willing to use violence is always more powerful than kind people who will allow themselves to be dominated and treated as prey because it's the "good" thing. They confuse being harmless with being kind. When you're actually incapable of being kind unless you're capable of unmeasurable violence.
