California's Crime Crisis is getting worse:

Why would anyone argue that being weak and defenseless is a good thing? Giving government a total monopoly on violence is never a reasonable idea. Tell me you are ignorant about history without telling me you are ignorant about history.
I used to be gun skeptical and let my partner do all the firearms handling in the house, but 2020/the pandemic converted me to the dark side. No way I'm getting victimized by a random recreational criminal at this stage of my life.
Facts.
There's no gun problem we have a criminal problems gun shows don't sell guns to criminals.
In Brazil we have armed security in our federal public schools, and is extremely hard to legally buy guns here. It doesn't make any sense that public schools doesn't have security in the US.
You know what’s funny? Illegal guns are easier to get and cheaper and you don’t have to pay taxes on it. The left is beyond libtarded.
Pointless as the criminals there are armed to their teeth and the citizens wont be able to defend themselves lol
The real crime here is 1:24 - charging 800 dollars for a single-shot AR pistol.
The US doesn't have a gun problem, it has a bullying problem. Bullying turns the "silent kids" into school shooters. Schools could make accomodations for students that don't want to feel social pressure like eating outside instead of in a massive cafeteria. Public spending should also go into having clinical psycologists at schools who approach students to detect signs that someone is "at risk" for becoming dangerous. Early detection could prevent many shootings.
The US has both as problem.
I can see where you're coming from
The US doesn't have a gun problem.
There isn't a single documented case of a gun setting out on a course of action that ends up with somebody getting shot.
However, the cases where a person sets out on such a course ending with someone getting shot number in the millions, documented.
school shootings are fraction od a percent of gun crimes in America
Yeah, ban guns... I'm pretty sure criminals will follow the law...
Exactly.
They always do, they've been framed or otherwise wrongly convicted.
If i wanted to be like Australia, I wont be living in America.
TRUMP 2024
For prison heck yeah let's go
The is no gun crisis in America. Also you can print your owns - there is no chance of any gun control
Man, that CA gun show is depressing. God bless Texas 😂
You're wrong about Mexico.. they have a lot of gnus over there it's crazy
Exactly, here we have a system whereas in Mexico, they barely have birth certificates... 😂😂
Most not on the books.
How many do the cartels have?
@@morbward8281 Exactly.... plus the bodycount is way higher.

Man I could pick apart this video for hours. But one thing that stands out is the school safety issue. So you point out that putting armed guards in schools could cost billions, so then we're putting a price on the safety of children?
That said, which would be more doable in the near future, securing schools say with unbreakable glass, secured entryways, etc. and possibly even armed guards or teachers, or trying to confiscate what probably amounts to more than half a billion guns in the entire 50 states?
The notion that we as a nation could even confiscate half the guns, assuming we voided the 2nd Amendment which is damn near impossible, is laughable.
Great comment! BUT, the facts just go right over Uptin's pointed head.
Got billions for Ukraine but no $$ for protecting kids with more security at schools…
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 problem is more trained people need to carry in public places and stop mass killers!
When doing an analysis of deaths after gun control in different countries, you need to include the analysis of all crimes committed with any weapon to accurately show if there is a shift in how crimes are committed and if guns are the actual problem. If guns are the problem then the graph would only show gun deaths, but there will always be a spike in crimes relating to edged weapons, blunt weapons, and unarmed assaults after firearms are banned. People get very creative in finding ways to harm others, and it's definitely not always through the pulling of a trigger.
That's an interesting approach
@@uptin It's the only way to get accurate stats!!
Notice how they craft such a convincing narrative and yet be so disingenuous with it at the same time.
Perhaps if the “children” that they’re referring to weren’t underaged gang-bangers, mostly in Democrat run cities and counties, this wouldn’t be nearly be the problem that they purport it to be. Perhaps?
This is propaganda. Making up stats and tugging on feelings to make us think we need to give up our rights
Liberal tripe
I don’t have a gun problem and I own several!
ummm ... did they correlate how many teens are shot on the weekends in the Blue Cities by other teens in this more children killed by guns ?... Had a Granddaughter get upset with me for having a gun .. a .54 muzzleloading rifle .. I, took it out of the closet where it was kept and put it by my door .... "lets watch this gun load itself and go out the door and shoot someone " .. I, left it there for 2 weeks .. pointed it out to her and she just rolled her eyes .. but she did get the idea that it is not the gun but the human with a hand and fingers that commits the crime.
If you went to one, you'd realize it's just a bunch of firemen, police and veterans legally trading guns, which you're allowed to do at any location anyways.
Those dude is really out of touch with reality.
These people won't give up their RIGHT? Really Uptin, REALLY???
did you see them? lol
Read the Constitution.
@uptin rights ARE NOT to be given up, my dear. You have a right to SELF DEFENSE. It's a natural right. It is NOT "given" by limited government but ENDOWED BY THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR. If you choose to let the government defend you, that's your personal choice.
@@uptinAnd?
Shall not be infringed.
Buy back? The Australian govt never sold them to buy back. Ameticans Live Free Armed period.
I’m pro Second Amendment. If the USA ever considers going the Australian route, we’re in deep shit, considering that’s a blatant nullification of a provision of the bill of rights.
PS, Heller, McDonald, and Bruen clarified the scope of the 2A if anyone is curious
If the US government ever tried to confiscate what amounts to probably more than half 1 billion guns in the United States, the United States ceases to exist at that moment, even before one shot is fired.
I'd love to see the plan that they use to try to go what… door-to-door searching every drawer and every attic and basement of every home and business in the whole country? Laughable.
If they can take our guns, what will they take next?
its not the guns its the ssri's antidepressant problem
School shootings are without a doubt a major issue, but gun control isn't a solution for the US just due to the amount of guns the US. Same deal with an AWB banning comentic features. The main solution to the issue is dealing with the mental health epidemic with a better healthcare system. May I say even socialised medicine. 😊
Our healthcare system sucks because we have 30 million illegals gumming up the system. Time to deport, in mass.
It all comes down to whoever has the guns has the power. If only the government has the guns, the government rules you, and you have no rights.
Hey Uptin! Nice video. I would love to hear from you about the immigration crisis in the US and the politics surrounding it.
Yeah, it would be interesting to see how Uptin spins that topic. BUT I doubt the Uptin has the nerve to touch that subject.
Lack of guns and laws against self defense is what is killing people.
Whay don't America bring Taliban for security
I think I can understand why some people are against it, because just like drugs, criminals will still have guns, but law-abiding people will not, then law-abiding people will put themselves in more danger.
You think?!?
Its not a protection is someone making ton of money out of this...
This guy goes to China and talks about how great it is, no mention of Tiamen Square or anything else like that. As soon as he comes to America, California, etc. all of the sudden plenty of criticism.
We give billions in arms to countries on the other side of the world but a few billion for armed guards for our schools is too expensive?
EXACTLY!! Biden just handed out over 100 Billion in student debt transfer (taxpayers are saddled with that burden now)
Actually there is more guns in Mexico per person then in the United States. Also guns are cheaper in Mexico.
Add guns are illegal in Mexico. In Mexico the penalty for fully automatic AK-47 is the same play a single shot 22.
$80 billion.... too hard to walk away
??????
Listen to "What about us?" By Samson. Language warning, but it's exactly how I feel.
This clown still thinks gun shows are a thing in 2024. If he only knew.
Do more background check, and let there be a subject/courses in every school to educate all the children on how not to use a Gun
We don’t have a gun problem, we have a criminal problem and a mental health issue. I own many firearms and have never been involved in any crime or shooting
Criminals never follow the rules or obey the law.
Why should law abiding citizen give up the second amendment?
We the people are the members of the NRA

There no problem these rights shall not be INFRINGED we can't help criminals get guns thats the usless ATF.
1. This debate has never been about whether to have a gun. It's only been about taking away voices in the above conversation. It's violently enforced (cops use guns) censorship. The right is the ability to choose, not the obligation.
2. Violence is a necessary evil in a world where not everyone is perfectly rational, lawful, and civil. Even staunchly antigun politicians understand this when they use police and armed security for protection.
2a. Firearms allow people a capacity for violence that could immediately stop horrific violence and abuse. Police can't be everywhere at once and often refuse to be inconvenienced to follow through on legitimate threats.
2b. Concentrating that capacity for violence solely into the hands of a few with their own culture, lifestyle, and common prejudices creates a higher caste with absolute control. Who holds them responsible when they are the only ones capable of resorting to violence at that level? Regardless of personal feelings about police, there is clear evidence, even now, of abuses of that power and subversion of justice that would harm their class (ex: blue wall of silence).
2c. Police response times and presence are notoriously lacking in lower income and more densely minority populated areas. At the same time, these same areas commonly show more abuses of rights and predatory acts by authorities. These areas are more commonly preyed upon by opportunistic criminal elements and corporations (ex: abusive employment, creditor, and market practices). Pricing/taxing schemes of gun control squarely target poorer and minority peoples who seek the same human dignity freely given to other demographics.
3. Weapons like knives and clubs limit a persons capacity for violence to their physical limitations. Because violence is competitive, a lower capacity for violence than an attacker can directly impact the outcome of a confromtation, and those who are smaller or less physically abled wouldn’t be afforded the same human dignity or rights without the strictest enforcment of those standards by those with the higher capacity for violence(see 2a-c).
4. Illegalization by itself disproportionately impacts those who seek to abide by the law for the hope of minimal impact on those who don't. This could act as a multiplier for the disproportional treatment of peoples listed above.
If you think poor people should be victimized because they can't afford to hire security, you're a classist. If you think women should be assaulted because they're genetically/hormonally predisposed to a smaller frame or stature, you're a sexist. If you think a minority person should be victimized because police don't equally prioritize their wellbeing, you're a racist. If you have the time and comfort to be outraged or scared of a hypothetical attack on others instead of a real attacker outside of your home, you're privileged. And, if you think your privilege entitles you to decide for others others how they should value their own lives and safety, you're a narcissist.
You try to come across like your thinking is balanced. As long as you have your bias that an inanimate ( non living) object that "somehow" influenced someone to "go" buy or steal it to accomplish "his/her/its evil desire, you are stuck within your faulty thought process. I "wish", a gun/knife/pitch fork/ vase/rope or 1,000s of other items that can cause harm "could'", come to life long enough, to convince the killer, Please, don't use me to harm anyone. Evil is in the Heart of man, that convinces the mind to act. People "love' their weapons. They're stubborn. Do you "love' your "stubborn" opinions to continue, miss - judging those you do not know or are you going to go beyond the sources, of News and facts that helped "form" your incomplete knowledge ? One guy was flippant to you. The rest had thoughts that should stimulate you to seek truth beyond your present sources. Don't ask others for a solution, you should be using the mind you were given to find out yourself. There is so much you had no time to learn from these people in a moment of time. Or is this just another "topic" to earn money or status that will diminish what you were meant to do in life. I Hope you honestly want and find the truth about why, most people "realized" the need for Arms. Use the brain you were given. A good place to start is youtude site Colion Noir. A great site with loads of knowledge. 5/13/2024
The Trump voting woman looks a lot like Lea DeLaria from Orange is the New Black
I'm sorry but this shows how poor law and order is in America that people need assault rifles. Aint nothing to be proud of.
was waiting for a video about this subject !!!! Loved it
Glad you liked it!!
I not support gun violence. I think gun banjedv
No shit Sherlocke.
Whats up Watson
How about we just allow the bus drivers janitors coaches tp carry their own guns. Half of All Americans are armed. 100 school employees fifty armed school employees. Thats a free easy.
Good video, but even stricter gun laws will not help immediately. There are simply too many guns in circulation rn.
120 guns for every 100 people
@uptin I didn't mean to say that gun laws should not be made stricter, I just said that making them stricter will not rapidly reduce the no. of gun deaths. E.g., I see no need for private ownership of rapid-fire arms, be they semi-automatic or fully automatic. No other prosperous nation allows this AFAIK. Introducing such a law would have a long-term effect, but not an immediate one because people can easily find the gun they want on the black market. It would take years b4 the supply of illegal weapons could be reigned in, and it would require cultural shifts not imminent now.
Pretty insane Republican answer. There have been many cases of shootings where armed guards or fully armed policemen were nearby and could do precious little. In 2019, a gunman in Dayton/Ohio killed 9 people by firing 41 shots in 30 (!) seconds. A high-capacity rifle helped enable that speed. Doesn't that make it painfully obvious that rapid-fire arms should be banned for private use? Some people never learn I suppose.
@Drax_Corrand
Shall not be infringed!
@ToyTiger666 Do you think everyone in our government is trustworthy? I don't. And that is just another reason for citizens to stay armed. If you give up our guns we are no longer citizens but serfs.
Frankly it's just too late to turn back now. Just keep the 2nd Amendment on paper while try to impose restrictions on acquiring guns, place higher tax on gun sales, etc.
What restrictions? You realize that criminals don't follow the law when they get guns right?
Shall not be infringed!
@@deebee4575No. He doesn't. Just like every other moron for gun control.
Only if you do that to every other right. You must have a license and training to vote, to type your comment here. You have to pay for this training and license. If you don't apply your solutions to every right then shut up. Read the Bill of Rights.
If you were an actual journalist and did any research at all you would know that the ATF has provided more firearms to the Mexican cartels than anyone else combined.! They have provided thousands and thousands of guns to the Mexican cartel. Multiple operations have gone down that have provided the Mexican cartels American firearms and it was all provided by the ATF there are only three industries that have influenced and control over our government. That's the medical industrial complex, the military industrial complex, and the energy industrial complex. No other sector of our economy has any freaking influence at all! I wish you were a decent somewhat qualified journalist and did any freaking research at all.
