- Dr. Jason Smith, the chief medical officer at University of Louisville Health, said he is "weary" of treating gunshot victims and called for action after a mass shooting at a bank in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, left several people dead and many others hospitalized. #CNN #News #shorts
No politician is going to do anything.
Tennessee already voted for school security improvements.
Democrats screamed and had a tantrum through the debate.
Good. We the people won't let them.
Probably for the best. Their Gun Free Zone act in the 90s made the problem much worse!
@@sdfasdfadfasdfadfasd more school cops great idea! Thx momo
More school cops are not the answer, also I thought we were free in America. But you and dip💩 magas support more police what a dip💩 idea. As a matter of fact, raise your hand before commenting because the grown-ups are talking.
Thank your Dr. Jason Smith for speaking up and speaking out.👏👏👏
He is spreading propaganda here,.....he's full of shit.

@@mattd5681 I from Germany and i feel so bad for u dealing with the Trump racist people. It must be awful.
@Matt D tell me you're ignorant without actually telling me 🙄
@@mattd5681 There's nothing "free" about having children gunned down when they go to school. You're a sucker for believing the gun lobby ads.
If it was the politicians, it wouldn't be so bad. It's the NRA and gun manufacturers. And the twisted thing about these mass shootings is that they're GREAT for business: Everyone get's worried about gun laws (that will never happen) and they run out and buy more!
whats his point? ban .223/5.56 which is a fairly weak round not even considered strong enough for deer hunting in most states? we all know the next steps after a so called "assault weapons ban" is a handgun ban and the VPC gun control lobby even admits this, and basic logic tells you that handguns are the thing that should really be focused on from the logic of ban the gun to stop the crime. rifles are used in 3% of gun homicides and only like 26% of mass shootings. handguns are used in like 90% of gun homicides and over 60% of mass shootings. so where do we go from here dems? you seriously expect to ban and confiscate 300m semi automatic handguns, shotguns, rifles etc? then what? what about revolvers or pump shotguns? they fire too fast also right? we know the end goal here. all we have to do is take a look across the pond to AU, the UK etc to see what you want to do to us. your silly 10 round magazine limit is arbitrary and in some countries that arbitrary number has already been lowered to 5, then 3, and some politicians say it should be 1. the slippery slope argument isnt fake, obviously authoritarians always want more more more. you cant appease tyrants. we are so far past the fantasy land concept of getting rid of 500m guns and probably 10+ billion magazines and 10's of billions of rounds of ammunition. you can call the cops and wait 14 minutes for them to show up, or you can draw your handgun in 3 seconds if you're trapped and fighting is your only option. anyone who would choose their iphone rather than a gun in that situation is a fool.

Ok this shooter came from a stable professional two parent family. Both him and her parents made anti-gun posts on social media. He got a master's degree and nice paying job. Before that day he had no criminal record. And he STILL BECAME A MASS MURDER.
The gun caused this individual to buy it and then coerced him into shooting people. Sounds reasonable 🤔. Or... an individual without a true moral compass, didn't much care for the end result of his life choices. But, these people never take personal responsibility, and he decided to take his frustrations out on others because it's always someone else's fault.
It's man-made misery! #v2k
It was not a HE it was a SHE....
@@simul8guy75 you are mixing up the Nashville shooter with the Kentucky shooter. The fact there are so many shootings that people can't keep track of them is further proof of a problem.

@@mjdelaney1 How is that gonna change anything? As stated, murder is already illegal. Clearly, laws just don't stop hatred.
We need to address mental health issues in this country.
democrats won't do that. Watch.
Wish they’d be begging for that versus trying to cause a massive genocide. Every disarmament in history all over the world has led to genocide by those who in power who are armed. If America gives that up they’ll genocide all freedom loving liberty chasing patriots and the world will fall into communism. Forced to kill off sparrows and eat bugs.
what do you say to universal mental health care funded by taxpayers?
Republicans keep voting against that too. They say it's a mental health issue but refuse to provide the help, in fact they keep trying to cut mental health support. Maybe they just love see people gunned down, especially children.
well, yes. but to solve the gun issue we need to address guns
Bless and thank you Dr. Smith and I stand with you in your plea🙏🏽
Bless this doctor for speaking out. He`s right. EVERY SINGLE WORD!!!!
And he should stick to being a doctor.
We don't need doctors to be political and push a agenda.
How well funded is the mental health ward at your hospital sir?
Not any hospital that I’m aware of. Funding cut
Well, since Reagan cut that shit, like fascists love to do, it’s probably not great. Ask your fascist overlords why they gutted them.
yep. emotions have no place in making legislation. he just wants to vent, not offer real solutions. and no, making guns illegal isn't going to solve it, just like making murder, arson, looting, etc illegal didn't solve anything these past few years while the democrat's activists ran roughshod through the country
@@Oldwomaninthewoods Isn't it OLOP? I may be wrong, haven't been to that area in a while.
I spent 28 years in law enforcement and have a mentally ill parent I'm still dealing with the past 50 plus years. It's really difficult for most people to get MH insurance or it pays for minimal services or MH assistance from the state. If you make just over the salary to get assistance you can't. I've told people that unfortunately you just SOL for the most part and I wish I could help. Our politicians need to help their people and not worry about LGBT or trans or drag shows. I really don't have an issue with them. They just became and issue when DTR became president and made it the norm to spew hate and lies and have no consequences and the religious right thinks kids will become "indoctrinated" I'm straight and have been married 35 years. I think the shows are entertaining and would have no problem taking my child or grandchild to a show. What I am worried about is the religious right "indoctrinating" their children into their beliefs. My bigoted grandparents and the baptist church I was forced to go to when I was young and seeing what hypocrites they were made me leave the church. I'm a spiritual person and believe in teaching right and wrong and to teach children to be good people.
I'm not a doctor but I know that it is time the Republicans in Congress pass the bill to ban high capacity magazine assault weapons, It's time and people need to rally in every state for this to happen.
Again that's a pointless thing because criminals would get the guns illegally like from the Cartels.
I can guarantee you know nothing about guns, define assault weapon
Enforce existing gun laws!
….you put rules on guns while the normal citizens can’t protect themselves. Why is it that I have to give up my right to protect myself while the criminals can continue to be criminals.
@@noahzellers1593 he said existing gun laws. If they locked up the criminals using guns and those that own them illegally, maybe things would start to get better.
Who should enforce them? Are assault rifles fit to be in the hands of ordinary people?
@@noahzellers1593 Ridiculous!! When have you protected yourself and your family from criminals?
@Vincent Otule Considering that AR only account for ~10% of gun homicides in the US, I don't see a problem with individuals owning them. The larger issue is that over 50% of gun homicides are committed by individuals who are NOT legally allowed to own guns. Therefore, maybe we should start enforcing existing gun laws before we consider making any new laws. 🤔
Smells like *PROPAGANDA*
How many children have to die before you pick up a gun and protect them?
It breaks our heart too... books, statues and drag queens are banned, but none of them will send a kid to a trauma room and never return home, but an AR15 can and they are turning a blind eye to it.
Gee. How profound. "do something". How about better prosecution efforts and more available mental health treatment? If you think banning firearms is the answer, you are a fool.
Even places with good DAs are getting mass shootings left and right. This is not a prosecutorial problem for the most part but a gun control problem. Lot of folks who should never have gotten a gun
How about we make private sales illegal? Reinforce background checks and require people who want a gun to register and take a course on how to properly use it as well as the rules and regulations, yknow like voting? If you think this is too much you are a fool.
Yes, because prosecution has such a massive effect on crime rates /s
i dunno what mental gymnastics you’re doing but i’m pretty damn sure banning guns does infinitely more to protect children than banning drag readings.
Wonder how he feels about the 250,000 Americans that die each year from medical misdiagnosis

Address mental health hardcore. Fortify our schools. Implement tough background checks when buying firearms. Just don’t take them away from good people so we can defend ourselves.
I agree. However it is common for a lot of mental illness patients to not come in to be diagnosed and even if some are diagnosed, they can still outright refuse treatment. Some people may be in denial about their mental illness, and delusions about one’s state of mental health are completely possible. In the case of that, if they do refuse treatment then they should be disallowed from obtaining such dangerous weapons. If they have not been diagnosed for such illnesses, to make sure that someone who is mentally compromised does not obtain guns, they should ideally undergo diagnosis before being able to buy or obtain. After all, people can’t be forced to receive treatment, but if they don’t receive treatment, they should be deemed unfit to carry. Another thought I came across is that some people may not have enough insurance to cover such treatments, therefore we can also provide more social support for mental health issues.
Interestingly, the need to defend ourselves WITH firearms significantly decreases the more seriously we take mental health and regulating access to firearms. It’s almost as if being responsible would allow us to reap long term benefits that are difficult to see on the outset.
Live by the sword, die by the sword, it is written. That is what we see😢.
Thank you that’s what I’ve been saying don’t need to take the guns away from everyone there’s plenty of good people that are responsible gun owners and have them for the right reasons. Addressing mental health is the best thing especially after covid mental health id say is huge issue. Hey though that’s just the opinion of one American
How about compromising?? Nobody wants to take all the guns away nor revoke our right to be armed for self protection. But there is not one reason for a civilian to carry military grade weapons and high capacity magazines. Those are weapons of war & designed specifically to kill mass numbers of people very quickly. We just need to be reasonable on all sides & work together to find a solution instead of taking the attitude that it has to be either/or.
Oh my goodness,as a retired nurse,to me this was the MOST POWERFUL speech I’ve yet heard about gun violence ,it’s indeed heartbreaking when you’re working the e.r. and a victim of a senseless ,brutal crime ,such as a child ,who “had” ther whole lives ahead of them ,and you have to tell the family there on child is hind ,because yet another person who SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD a weapon in the first place ,is gone,it’s something I never got used to .

Repeal the 19th amendment NOW…
If you truly cared you would be all for arming a responsible populace. All the stats show that stricter gun laws (unconstitutional violation of the citizenry and and their rights) only create more gun violence since criminal can act without repercussion. Next time you are subject to witnessing a victim a gun violence know that your deluded ideals greatly contributed to it.

And get tough on the ar15s too...let's not forget their role in all this...
Thank you for using your platform to speak up, Dr. Smith. And thank you for taking care of folks in their times of greatest need.
they haven't been "doing nothing" they've been making it illegal to address the root causes of the issue: hostile school environments, hostile social policy and being told that no matter what, nothing is their fault.
Let's make 2 parent households great again and bring leadership and accountability back to American culture
I agree - quit incentivizing single parenthood. Nobody wants to address or solve the problems creating by fathers being absent in the home.
When there were 2 parent households things still happened its the abundance of loons and guns in the US pick one
@@rigermorty3032 lol okay bud
Literally nothing you said is the cause of this
@@kencurtis2403because that's not the problem at all as most of the people who are doing this had both at home
Guns save lives! We protect court houses, airports, law enforcement offices, government buildings, etc. But we don't allow armed guards at schools. THERE'S YOUR SIGN!
Bullshit!!! Regular people do not need guns!!!
ROFL that America has come to a point where you need armed guards to protect for children for *checks notes* going to school
@@rp4712 And what freedom hating country are you from again?
@@nicholas1740 whoa it’s freedom hating to point your kids aren’t even safe in a school? Damn what a shame
I sympathize with that poor doctor. 💔💔💔💔💔
Looking at these comments, nothing will change in this country. Too many people operating out of fear and not logic. Too many call of duty warriors.
Remember that one time this Doctor here was a “firearms expert”… me neither… this guy has never shot a gun in his life.
He’s emotional, that’s true. But not thoughtful or rational.
Shut up and turn in your guns! This man is almost in tears!! 😢
We are humans, not robots.
@@papawheelie5576 Which is what I said: he's emotional, not rational.

@Nomen Clature I would gladly destroy the Constitution if it protected a single doctor from the feels! ❗
Perhaps if the cost of owning a home and raising a family wasn't so out of reach for young working class people they would have more to live for and wouldn't be as keen to throw it all away for nothing. But as of right now tons of your people have no hope for the future and even less to loose. Unfortunately we can expect this to keep happening until we stop with the stupid left/right bullcrap and address the underlying problem.
5 innocent people... R.I.P. 😢
You're not staged playing with the American heart strings no not at all.
Alredy using these tragedies to go after the 2nd amendment, hu? Aren't you guys ashamed of yourself? Guess what, we know the script! All useless!
He said nothing of taking your guns just that doing nothing isn't the answer
The 2nd amendment is evil. It needs to be repealed. That's the bottom line.
Allowing anyone to own guns is complete bullshit and it's why guns are the leading cause of children in the United States.
Of course, it will never happen because the gun nuts and gun lobby don't care about dead innocent children.
Don't forget the part where your guns are supposed to be highly regulated in your second ammendment.
Get a clue! The NRA is paying off anyone and everyone that can push their agenda. They don’t care about you and your second amendment rights! It all about the money 💰💲💵💲🤑💲
@@ddh3098 he also said nothing about what needs to be done. they pass laws all the time, they have laws already on the books. the only thing that would ever work is if every gun owner did like Australia and willingly turned all their guns in, but that isn't going to happen. Australia had 20 million people and not all of those were gun owners. The US has over 350 million people with just as many if not more guns in private possession. Some of these people who currently own guns are criminals, some of those are just concerned that total societal collapse is imminent, there are those who wish to have a civil war, and there are those who genuinely keep them for protection due to living in unsafe neighborhoods. you'll never get every person in the US to 100% agree on a single issue unless our population gets decreased to the point there's only a few of us left
The right policies to stop mass shootings should include: Stricter background check and control on gun purchases; quick and fair response to all bully events in schools and workplaces; deterrent punishment including corporal punishment for violent crimes.
Do you know how many lives are lost each day from car accidents? We need to ban vehicles !! Reeeeeeee reeeeeeeee!!
I totally agree, we should do something! Such as carry everyday and everywhere
We need to arm 1st graders now. Crayon in one hand trigger in the other!
bro people are doing that. they wre carrying everyday to shoot these places up. this isnt Call Of Duty, the average citizens reaction when they hear rifle fire is to run and gtfo of there, not to go find them and engage. just a certifiable mindset u have
@@jfc9954 what if you can’t run away, what if your wife and kids are disabled
@@evanleo7633 what if…but this is a big “what if” now….what if the lunatic……never had a gun in the first place??? 🤯🤯
@@davidlee9411 you are exactly right, school should teach kids the basic safety and responsibility to handle firearms, teach them guns are tools and fundamental rights but can be dangerous, teach kids to respect the power of firearms and thus life, and don’t just let kids be ignorant of guns and just tell them guns are evil
DOCTOR..YOU'RE BRILLIANT....WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST? TAKE CARS AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO YOU SUSPECT OF SOMETHING??? IT'S NOT THE TOOL...IT'S THE USER..
A gun is not a tool. it is a weapon. A gun has a single function...to destroy things.
@@johnnemo6509 guns were primarily used for hunting and self defense in mind. You don't know the Constitution John Nemo
@@kennymichaelalanya7134 ok weapons such as spears and bows have been used for hunting and self defense for thousands of years....they're still weapons not tools. same as guns. If you are arguing that arms common for such uses at the time the 2nd amendment should be allowed i.e flint lock rifles and pistols, I could support that interpretation since those were obviously the weapons the authors had in mind and which were very similar and in some cases superior to weapons used by standing armies of the time.
Having had to study the constitution for my naturalization test I have probably more familiarity with it that many American citizens. The 2nd amendment one of the most poorly worded and punctuated statements ever written, it was drafted mostly as an appeasement of states that feared federal interference. The cracks in the union of states which ultimately lead to the civil war being present from the start.
The 2nd amendment states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" The right to bare arms is directly tied to the creation and maintenance of state militias as protection at the state level. It makes no mention of sporting or self defense uses. The role of militias is now maintained by state national guard units making private militias un-necessary. Interesting that the supreme court in 2008 clarified that citizens had a right to bare arms for protection of "hearth and home" but also noted that this right was not unlimited, meaning that federal and state governments has the right to place limits on types of arms allowable under the 2nd amendment. Thus, a hand gun ban or an automatic weapon ban is not unconstitutional. There are those that believe the 2nd amendment gives the unlimited right to bare arms of any nature even to the extreme of chemical , biological, or nuclear weapons. They are wrong. Once you agree that the type of weapons that can be legally owned should be limited for the benefit of society. Then the discussion is which weapons should be reasonable to own. The loudest voices in the pro-gun lobby consistently reject that discussion to the detriment of responsible gun owners. So based on a hunting and self defense usage case, I would say the right to bare revolvers in .38 special or 9mm, small capacity self loading rifles in .22 LR, Bolt action rifles in .300 or .308, and low capacity shot guns in 12 gauge or .410 should form the core of legal weapons anything else being considered unusual and therefore not generally allowable. Respect to all.
@@johnnemo6509 the writers of the Constitution had implemented the 2nd Amendment because they believed self defense was a God given right. If you studied the Constitution, you would realize how similar it is to many of the laws the Bible has. Capital punishment, the freedom of religion, prohibition of murder, adultery, theft, and the giving of false testimony against one's neighbor are one of many Bible laws that inspired the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. To protect freedom and our rights you need the 2nd Amendment . Also criminals use switches on guns which is federally illegal plus criminals will always find a way to get better guns if citizens had ill suited weapons. Cartels or shady individuals would sell the illegal guns in your dystopian USA. Alas.
@@kennymichaelalanya7134 I'm sorry that may be your interpretation of the the 2nd amendment. However, as written the 2nd amendment makes no mention of personal self defense. It only discusses the right to bare arms in relation to state militias. I actually copied the text of 2nd amendment in my earlier post it does not contain the words self defense. As for God, god doesn't give rights or make laws.. people within a society do that. BTW I have lived in many countries with strong gun laws none of them resemble your vision of the dystopian USA. Society is not overrun by criminals , people are safe and happy, they do not fear their government. Have you ever considered that this is an American thing? That something in their psyche is driving them to self destruction, and this fixation on baring arms is a symptom of that? I truly hope that is not the case because the free world relies on a strong and sane America to help fight against real tyrants in the world not the ones in their heads. Respect to all.
Yes. I agree 100 % with the doctor!
We should do what Australia did
In 1996-1997, a mandatory buy back of guns. Murders decreased dramatically
Oh no a doctor is sad…quick burn the constitution 😆
People are not giving up guns period!!!!!!!! Crazy people should go to jail.
Again that's a pointless thing because criminals would get the guns illegally like from the Cartels.
How about asking parents to parent? Costs nothing, and doesn't blame an object.
Address MENTAL HEATH, and the way people treat each other is horrible! All of this is revenge killing, and it is because people treat each other like sh*t in this country. I lived in Lousiville briefly, and I left because of the PEOPLE! I was treated like DIRT for no reason. My ex tried to kill me, and his family took his side. The world is fragile, as are the people who walk the earth. Put the nasty words down, say hello, and treat with compassion and dignity. There is a disconnect between the East and West End that needs to stop. Stop fuck8ng with people and be kind! Delete social media, stop watching reality TV, and make your own reality of kindness!
Death sentence for murders!! Uphold the laws we have, close the dang border.
All of that is already in place. We don’t have open boarders.
Propose something that will actually work!!!! Do you work for the NRA?
@@bcyes409 🤣In place as in, a law, but our justice system is a joke, the average murderer in this country serves between 5-7 years before being released on probation. When there is no punishment, there is no reason to follow the law. And our boarder is open, visit it sometime...
@@bcyes409
The border is WIDE OPEN, I live near it
I am not sure how closing the border helps those left inside the country but thank you for thinking of the rest of the world and trying to prevent exporting your crazies elsewhere, very noble of you.
