This guy is a real doctor. God bless him.
He’s a piece of garbage
This doctor SHOULD be helping to make policy. What a truly stand-up guy.
That doctor should be ashamed of himself politicizing this incident. He should talk about mental illness if anything.
@@misaelfraga8196
Politicizing? Is it too soon to talk about this? Or, in reality, TOO LATE? People are dead. Better policy could have protected them, and would help prevent future mass killings. This is literally a public health crisis. Public: it's happening everywhere - banks, schools, grocery stores, parades, churches. Health: people are dying due to mass shootings and it's a problem unique to the USA. Crisis: mass shootings are a consistent, almost daily issue in the USA and the #1 leading cause of child deaths in the USA is not gun violence.
When and how are we supposed to address this, if not now? It's NEVER too soon. It's ALWAYS only TOO LATE. People are already dead and more will continue to die. Yes, mental illness is part of it. But do people vote for reps who seek to prioritize mental healthcare? Are Republicans leading the charge and making quality mental healthcare and community supports more affordable and accessible? No.
What realistic solutions are you suggesting to solve this issue? It IS a political issue because it's a national public health crisis that NEEDS to be addressed, in part, by policy. No single law can prevent all mass shootings or all gun violence. But we have to try something, because some laws WILL prevent SOME cases. We cannot let perfection be the enemy of good.
1. end gun show / private sale loophole
2. universal background checks
3. mandatory waiting period
4. high capacity age restriction below age 25
5. mandatory gun insurance
6. required reference letters (not from parents) below age 25
7. ban some weapons
8. periodic mental health evaluations
9. extensive licensing process
10. gun buyback program
@@misaelfraga8196 You're a total, disingenuous POS. Rates of mental illness are consistent around the planet. The country that leads the world in guns per capita also leads the world in mass shootings. F off.
@@misaelfraga8196 I can't imagine being such a POS human as you. I feel sorry for you.
@@MegInWhispers No
One thing that no one is mentioning here is that the shooter here was an anti gun activist. The whole intent of this anti gun activist shooting was to make an impact on "gun violence". I would submit that this is not the first time this has happened. I would also submit that had someone at the bank been conceal carrying, a good guy with a gun would have stopped a bad anti gun activist with a gun. Police released the letter this bad actor wrote but the liberal media won't share it. That's what we get when only half the truth is covered in order to skew the facts. Fact is more innocent lives are saved with guns in America than are taken by them. The operative word here is innocent.
The Doctor has to be one of the bravest individuals to say "gun" and "violence" in the same sentence. He needs to be very careful from a certain group of gun huggers known for tik torch goose stepping, seditionist attacks, punching nurses after being asked to wear a mask and blocking ambulances because they couldn't get a haircut. Be careful doc, real careful.
Wat?
I've never known someone who can throw so many leftist terms into one comment. I've never known a gun that can grow legs and make the decision to kill someone. Blaming a gun for something that a demented person made a decision to do, is like blaming a car when a DUI driver chooses to drive drunk. I'm sure you don't have the ability to see the comparison. If you don't want to have guns, then don't. I do, and will continue to have guns. I've never hugged a gun but I might try it at your suggestion. Enjoy your gun free zone, I'm sure the government will protect you and your family, when they get around to it.
@@michelrichards2241 are u new to the Internet?
You will have to eliminate people violence firstly.
We'll be sure to tell the GUNS to knock it off... 😒
You’re a doctor at a trauma 1 hospital in a city…..gunshot victims are always gonna be prevalent.
You forgot to add "in the United States." Because take that same surgeon and move him to a level 1 trauma center in a city in literally any other country, and he wouldn't be dealing with nearly the amount of gunshot wounds.
THE UNITED STATES LEADS THE WORLD IN GUNSHOT DEATHS, BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES LEADS THE WORLD IN GUN OWNERSHIP. Why is that so hard to understand?
Get concerned about the hoods in your state.
THAT’S gone on forever.
As for more gun control, you can forget about that.
We have a very mis-raised snowflake subculture cohort responsible for most of the country’s chaos.
Few life skills, weak emotional control, and way too much cyber power at their fingertips.
They are often unable to roll with the tumbles of real life, and often resort to violent outbursts in an effort to demand the environment (and everyone in it) conform to their specifications.
They learned that very early, and lives with few responsibilities or consequences, for so many years past, leaves them assured there aren’t any.
Until there are.
Then...lash out.
How many shooters have history of paych drugs as symptoms are violence
Nice try. "Paych" drugs are used all around the world, yet no other country has the rate of mass shootings that we have in the US. I wonder why.
Gun violence or wicked people. How do you change wicked, evil people. Stop the cap and be a doctor.
So the problem is nothing to do with the fact that a person is able to purchase an assault rifle as easily as a gallon of milk? All of these recent mass shootings involved AR-15s that were legally purchased at gun stores. The person walked in, pointed at the gun, swiped their credit card, and they're out in 15 minutes. Instant background checks are complete bullshit.
You make it somewhat more of a challenge to obtain a firearm so that wicked evil people cannot so easily obtain one to kill normal people. Yes, that means someone like you who would not shoot up the town would have to deal with some inconveniences in purchasing a firearm.
Make murder illegal
It is in every country on the planet, but the US is the mass-shooting capital of the world. I wonder why that is, Mr NRA Logo?
Actually, if you look at the history of gun violence, it's only gotten worse with the more laws and regulations that have been put into place. If they was to get them completely out of the hands of law abiding citizens, they would only make them more of a threat, because criminals would have all of the control. It's not the ones who follow the rules who are shooting in gun free zones. In fact, in gun free zones the innocent, law abiding citizens cannot shoot back at active shooters, waiting and dying until the police arrive. But of course some of you all thinks that's worth it, if another gun restriction that a criminal won't care about, can be made into law.
Actually, if you look at literally every other country on planet earth, they all lag the US in guns per capita. The United States is the only country in the entire world with more than one gun per capita. It's a gun problem, friend-o. And you know it.
Are you forgetting about Japan? Japan has reasonable regulation so you need a license to get a gun. Is it working? What do you think-- 30,000 gun killings every year in the U.S. How many in Japan? Under 20 gun killings every year. Even Switzerland has lots of guns but way fewer gun killings. Why? Reasonable gun regulation works in Switzerland. You need to buy a permit FIRST before you get most guns in Switzerland. Reasonable and it works. We can do better in the United States. But the very, very rich gun makers are blocking even reasonable steps. As innocents die every day in the U.S. Even 9 year-olds died in Nashville last week. It is way past time for reasonable regulation to save our innocent children and their dedicated teachers.
@@JW4REnvironment it ain't the gun makers problem. Its the issue with the dumbass politicians who can't do shit about this issue
Generally speaking, criminals have zero respect for established laws, nor the police, nor the justice system. It stands to reason that passing new laws will have zero effect on the activities of criminals, or criminal behavior. Criminals specialize in creative ways in which to break the law. On the other hand, those who tend to obey the established laws of the land are the law abiding citizens, ( hence the name ) regardless the number of new laws passed. Increasing new, extended "gun" controls, even "gun" bans, will do little or nothing to reduce crime or criminal behavior, especially crime involving the use of "guns". Criminals will always gain access to "guns" and will use them in order to ensure an unfair advantage over their victims. In order to reduce the incidence of violent crime, criminals need to fear their potential victims. They are cowards, if there is the possibility of getting shot or dying at the hands of their well trained, well armed victims, they will modify their decisions and consequently their behavior. Criminals prefer "gun" free zones, soft targets, where they feel confident they will not be shot or killed in the process of committing a crime. With the ever reducing police forces, the act of introducing more, tighter "gun" laws, "gun" bans, produces a larger group of vulnerable, law abiding, potential victims, soft targets, easy prey for well armed criminals, whose intention it is to break the law in perpetuity.
@@JW4REnvironment Switzerland is 100% white almost so that don’t look good … and japans a culture of honor they have so much more respect for each other than Americans…. both of those countries function on a way higher level than us when it comes to education transportation and overall diet and health is light years ahead of us fun fact about japan don’t go there if ur black they are way more racist there compared to the United States so there behind in tolerance ahead in everything else
U can't legislate matters of the heart...
I'm sorry rearing this kind of statistics information. I'm doing everything I can do possible. They won't Untie my hand to do anything to help. A question to you is what is the Biden administration doing anything to help the situation?? My answer is nothing and I'm sorry. Help me help you... Sincerely Brandon..
It’s not about the guns. It’s about the insanity.
Then why don't other countries have the same rates of mass shootings? Only the US has insanity? Or is it perhaps bc the US has the highest per-capita gun ownership in the WORLD?
This guy says we have do something about gun deaths. How about you worry more about the death men like you cause every year which is far more? We average around 30k gun deaths per year over half being suicide so more like 15k unintentional per year compared to 250k due to medical mistakes. I think I am far more worried seeing a doctor than I am about gun violence. That makes you over 16 times more dangerous to anyone than the local gangster, congratulations! So, lets all keep that in mind while doc goes and enjoys his humble pie, if he is capable of humble that is.
This has to be the worst attempt at logic that I've ever read. Literally nothing you said makes any sense. You are victim-blaming and smearing those who save lives, in order to somehow justify the insane amount of gun deaths in the US as "not that bad"??
This doctor should be ashamed of himself. Why doesn't he talk about mental illness? He's no lawmaker. Only trying to make a name for himself like an opportunist.
You should be ashamed of yourself. He is speaking from the perspective of his specialized profession…a surgeon…not a psychiatrist. Go read a book, heaven forbid you learn something.
@@whitney8822 AR-15 owners typically haven't progressed beyond a 4th grade reading level. All they know is "gun go blam blam blam". People spend decades and hundreds of thousands of dollars on education, trying to advance humanity, only to be killed by some 75 IQ idiot with a gun fetish. It's pathetic.
The doctor has earned the benefit of the doubt by having devoted himself to caring for sick people all these years. What responsibilities have you shouldered for the benefit of your community or the nation?
@derfunkhaus no he hasn't. Only in matters of Healthcare not public policy regarding matters outside his expertise, and even then Covid really proved just how much doctors can sell out for the good of corporations than the people.
