The fact this kid just strolled into the school like a 7 11 n sat there shooting for a hour at kids is a SEVERE PROBLEM
“Kid” not able to buy a pack of cigarettes or beer, bought 2 AR 15 and 400 rounds of bullets
Cops are cowards. No surprise
@@alfig001in many countries allow 18 year olds to buy beer and cigarettes
@@JeepCherokeeful yeah, try buying a gun in those same countries.
Some places in the Middle East like Saudi Arabia y'all have guns they'll cut your limbs off, and that's not the only thing they'll cut off, y'all talk bout Fear, we should have that same rule here cause too many are being glock out by crazy criminals, Sad 😩
This confirmed why I watch him, I just always had that hunch that he really is a good, good guy with a good heart. Thanks for this, Rich.
I remember he ran at the nfl combine for a little boy that was sick with cancer I believe and rich was talking to the kid like there was nothing with him and he was inspirational and so nice to that kid and his mom. Rich eisen is a good human and im sure a good father. we need people like him who stand for protecting humanity
I got a 9 years old kid... it breaks my heart.
100% agree with Mr. Eisen.
we need to put responsible people in office.
There will never be responsible people in office. Politicians are the most useless people in this country. They don’t do a thing except two things
1. Bicker and fight with one another
2. Steal taxpayer money
Biden sucks and Trump is the worst... Bernie should be president
Democratic House and Senate controlled and nothing is being done by the idiots in charged... Rich is pandering he lives in a massive mansion gated community protected by armed police. He never has to worry about the poor
This was better and more important than an Emmy. Thank you, Rich.
You don't get it. Rich is grandstanding like this so that he can win an Emmy next year.
@@The5hark ok Shark. So, he is not supposed to talk about it? Steve Kerr must be grandstanding for something too.
@@davidadamsmusic Rich runs a sports show, so yes, he is outside his lane. But if you go outside your lane, at least do your homework. And yes, Kerr was grandstanding too. Rich is actually ripping off what Kerr did showing no originality. A few years ago, Kerr was pushing for cops to be removed from schools as part of his woke anti-police virtual signally. Combine that with pushing background checks after a school shooting where the shooter passed a background check is the very definition of grandstanding and agenda driven politics.
@@The5hark You and I simply don’t agree with what is happening in the world but not once did I suggest “you don’t get it” or “do your homework” which to me is completely disrespectful and part of the problem with social media. If I knew you (which I don’t) perhaps over a beer you could explain your solutions to these challenges vs. just criticizing when people don’t agree with you. Probably best we end this. You are welcome to have the last word because I suspect that’s how you roll.
This was an Emmy performance.
I'm not afraid to say it. I love you Rich Eisen.
Wish we had more people like Rich in our Congress
Nobody cares. This is virtue signalling
@@Cryptum404 you cared enough to leave a comment 🤷♂️
@@Cryptum404 Bro you are reading CZcams comments
@@Cryptum404 What's "virtuous" about little kids being killed by the dozens at school by gunmen with legally acquired assault weapons?
If you're cynical, I get it. Personally, I have my doubts that anything meaningful will get done . . . but I am sick and tired of pandering politicians who don't have the gonads to do a damn thing to put a stop to this insanity. It's way past time in this country to write and enforce reasonable laws that protect sensible gun ownership for citizens without allowing just about anybody and everybody to easily acquire military-grade assault weapons for their "personal use".
@@Cryptum404 get a life
ATTA BOY RICH!! I'm 100 💯 behind you. I cried watching the news about this insanity the time is now, protect the kids protect our citizenry please, enough is enough 😢
Condolences are not enough !!!!
We the people need to do something!!!!!
And never except this crap !!!
Or be numb !!!!!
I completely agree with Rich Eisen about everything that he has said.
Stunning and brave
Same here. Something needs to be done NOW.
@@marcus813 totally agree our government is failing to protect our people. I know condolences isn't good enough but when it comes to these types of situations right now. It is in fact infuriating & I am so tired of seeing everything happens right in front of our face& nobody is doing anything about it.
As a current gun owner and previous ar-15 owner, all guns are simply too easy to acquire.
I got my ar and my shotgun from the same store no questions asked. Waited a week for my pistols though.
With the way gun shops push stuff like “bump stocks”, it’s really hard to take their ‘responsible’ seriously.
These background checks are like a standard trip to the DMV. I think it’s high time that safety course and serious psych evaluations are required if you really want to own an ar-15
@@VanguardSolarEnergy Stunningly ill informed is more like it.
Thank you for speaking up. In embracing the extremes of left and right, applying common sense has become a tough ask. Wish we had more people like you in positions of power.
Arming teachers is insane!
Maximum Respect to Mr. RICH EISEN!!! BRAVO! WHAT HE SAID!!!
Let's listen to good men and women who Really care.. 👍👍
The right of our children to live is being infringed upon.
I sure hope you are anti-abortion then.
@@DebW1224 anti abortion but pro murder? Sick world you ppl are sewing.
@@DebW1224 Embryos are not children, fool.
The husband of one of the teachers who was murdered died of a heart attack this morning after he grieved. It absolutely sickens me as a republican Texan that our governor is doing nothing about it.
Vote a republican in who actually cares about our country.
Maybe you should stop voting for republicans until they stop taking millions from the NRA.
I don't disagree with you, we need to get extremists out of both parties. To do that you need to vote
Well you gotta be real with yourself. realistically laws n actions don’t happen over night no matter what it is. Doesn’t matter what branch your governor is in nothing would be passed down two days later.
Still that doesn’t mean he will do something.
Getting the extremists out of POLITICS. PERIOD.
The second amendment that is swinging around in 2022…
C’mon folks. Can’t we FINALLY admit that its beyond ANTIQUATED!!!!
The right to bear arms doesn’t mean that we can’t do background checks!
We MUST start. NOW. We must start doing our due diligence.
And we MUST STOP blaming the other parties…kids are dying.
Fully agree with everything you said here! Thank you for speaking out!
We just can’t keep doing this! The system is broken! I’m devastated!
We can't but unfortunately we will. Because those who can change it won't.
@callmecatalyst I'm a leftist, bro. I just recognize that our system is broken that even though this legislation is overwhelmingly popular and proven to work across the world, including in the United States the minority will keep just enough power in their strongholds that its not going to happen
Thank you for having the guts to speak truth about this issue, Rich.
Oh stop.... He gets his talking points from the lamestream there is nothing BRAVE he is doing wtf
@@eaglefang8656 He is using his platform to help prompt politicians to act, and thereby opening himself up to criticism from right wing gun hugging trolls like you.
"Please for god's sake do something." They won't.
Republicans wants their guns. Democrats want their platforms. They left us to die by the Highway long ago.
Love you Rich. Keep doing the right thing man.
Well said!!! I cannot understand why this keeps happening and nothing is done. Oh wait yes i do, power matters lives of small children don’t. My condolences to the families. 🇦🇺🇺🇸
Becuase many people who sit in power in the government simply don't care
Thank you for saying your piece! The people who do nothing need to be cornered out and we need to remember who they are.
Thank you Rich for saying this with such conviction.
Rich, good for you for using your platform to help change the gun laws. We have two grandchildren that attend Robb elementary. Fortunately for us our grandkids are safe. It will take a hell of a lot more people to speak up and condemn these gutless politicians that we as voters have sent to Washington. Again thank you for your voice!
So sorry for the entire community there.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can’t imagine your grandkids would ever want to set foot in that building again. I’d be traumatized. So sorry they had to go through that.
Gun control laws won’t stop this
@@rl4923 let’s hear your solution, I’m all ears. Remember this phenomenon only happens regularly in one country.
well said rich. well said.
"Please, for God's sake, do something."
The anthem of every parent, myself and Rich included. Something, anything, other than empty platitudes / deflection / foot-dragging. Do SOMETHING. It won't be perfect, it won't fix everything automatically, but do SOMETHING. Please, for God's sake, do something.
U.S. government do something? Don't hold your breath. This is a citizen action or it'll be more of the same.
Respectfully
Who is supposed to do SOMETHING? The voters? The constituents of Senators who owe their power to the NRA?
The constituents who declare that the 2nd Amendment means an absolute right to own, carry and use any gun they wish.
The cry is genuine. But where is the action taken by those who cry out?
What are you and Rich doing to ensure that your kids are safe at school? I'll tell you what I did years ago -- I TOOK MY KIDS THE HELL OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
@@hermansanders3602 but should you have to worry that your kids will die just for going to school? Home schooling is perfectly fine, but you shouldn’t HAVE to do it because a maniac might murder them for being in school.
Also the anthem of people who don't have kids.
Nothing will be done. This is the America we deserve because power and money are more important than people.
Ain't that the truth
@@chrispalmer3330 It is the darn truth. This country is done for!
Thank you for this!
Thanks for this Rich
Thank you Rich! Well said.
Proud of you for saying this
There is no reason a civilian should own an assault rifle!
Lol you know nothing about guns.
@@bulldogsbob please enlighten us why you need to pump out a handful of bullets per second. Go sit with these parents and explain why this is more important than their kids
There's plenty of reasons to own AR
@@ericwilkins7188 enlighten me. Sit with the parents of dead children and enlighten them
O yeah look at Australia they gave up guns and now they get sent to Covid camps
Well Said Rich - Love your Passion - Please keep fighting the fight
The politicians in "control" of the laws to prevent this situation are beholden to the gun lobbyist. The resources provided to these politicians help prevent anyone they know or care to be effected directly by these atrocities. Vis-a-vis making laws directly against anything the gun lobby wants then puts their lives and anyone they know or care for in greater risk due to the loss of resources. At least that's what the lobbyist tell them to believe.
They have a CHOICE to take the lobbyist money and “round of golf “, dinner, and drinks to discuss. To get it twists that they have to take their money.
Thanks Rich. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thx RICH for your support and compassion brother.
Yes sir. Well said and thank you for saying it.
Leaving a firearm unsecured, unlocked and accessible is completely irresponsible.
Military taught me unless you're using it....store it,under lock/key.
I've never understood anyone who leaves a firearm unsecured in their house,especially with kids in the house.
And every single weapon in the military is accounted for and experience has taught me never leave your weapon unattended let alone lose it!
*That's* your takeaway from this? It's about easy access to assault weapons. Here's a dollar. Go buy a clue.
@@dzjc01 here's my takeaway, somebody somewhere made a law allowing a nut job to buy firearms with none to little in the way of background checks. As a non American I would say it's probably politicians lining their own pockets with blood money.
@@dzjc01 The public cannot purchase a assault rifle without a Class III license.
@@warrenlantz the kid bought an AR 15
They you, Rich Eisen, for having compassion and being passionate in doing the right thing.
THANK YOU, RICH
That right there is the reason why I love this show. That was amazing thank you for using the platform to say something
When you get a blowout while driving you can either keep driving and worry about the consequences or you stop immediately. You need to stop when something likes this happens. Stop everything. Fix it. Make changes to achieve a way of life that is acceptable.
When you’re fighting a war against the deranged, unpredictable, dangerous and evil people, the GOOD people have to be ready to fight back. Whether you have law enforcement at the school to protect, whether you have veterans there to protect, whether you have teachers trained with a gun in the classroom. Politicians have security. I bet Rich Eisen has armed people at his workplace that protect them. Easy to say ban it when you have people protecting you with guns all the time, yet we don’t use them to protect our kids? What a sham
Thanks for this Rich. We have to keep speaking out against this insanity.
👍🏻👍🏻 we’ll spoken Rich. Much respect for your words.
Thank you!
Agree Mr. Eisen! I'm glad /we have stricter gun laws in the country where I live.... it sickens me and makes me tear up. It's so painful. I think these Senators will only act if their own kids are gunned down....
I doubt even that would make a difference. These scumbag politicians are so self absorbed with their own power that they would sacrifice their own family to keep their position.
are you making a threat online?
He is the voice of reason for a reason... I'm from Canada, we're not perfect by any means, these things happen here as well...just hope that everyone in the US can work together for a stronger common goal rather than the "individual"...im not naive, I know utopia doesn't exist, but we shouldn't have to live in a world where children die at school.
Bro, I'm from Canada as well. You and I remember a couple years ago when those mass murders happened in Nova Scotia and Trudeau then got 1500 assault riffles banned in Canada. Other countries have done the same thing after they have mass tragedies as well. But in America, that looks almost impossible to happen.
@@DoubleOhTheG absolutely man, we can't solve everything, but some action is better than no action
@@bwong3yc Although I want to acknowledge that our American friends have a way bigger challenge than us. USA has 4 times more guns per capita than Canada.
Our incidents in Canada are rare in comparison. They have a mass shooting every week.
And wear bulletproof backpacks.
Thank you, Rich!
Well said Rich! Thanks for speaking out!
Rich is a damn American treasure!
@California Dreaming At least
Rich, you're a good man. You're right, DO SOMETHING! whatever we are doing now ( nothing) is not working.
My son is ten years old and in the fourth grade. My daughter is eight and in the second grade. I hug them tighter and tighter every day. Events like this never let you forget how they can be taken away from you instantly.
Thank you 💯🎯
Well said Rich
Well said Rich.
Love and appreciate you Rich.
Thank you Rich for speaking up. This is another reason why I follow you!
This is nothing new coming from Rich! He gives it to us all blood raw! He is by far and away the Goat of this game! He is the man!
You’re a good man Rich.
Thank you, Rich.
How about talking about how the government just sent $50 billion to another country and that same $50 billion would have paid $400,000 to every school in the nation for security entrances and armed security. Why does EVERY government building and most sporting venues have these to keep people safe, but somehow we can’t find enough money to do the same with schools??
Word.
Rich eisen is one of my favorite people man !!
Mine Too and Rich Eisen Seems Like a Nice Person in General Outside of His Sports Show!
Thank you sir.
Thank you Rich ❤
Ok, I’m in the grocery crying. Yes Rich.
Corruption is strong in this country.
Hey, I will pay you not to say that. Oh, now everything is fine again
Amen! Thank you for speaking up for the children and many others who have been victims to senseless gun violence and the families involved.
Loved you’re show already…love it even more now…Rich, you and your crew are a class act
thank you Rich, use your platform for this kind of good...again, thank you
I read an excellent response to the "let's arm teachers" stupidity. 'You won't buy teachers erasers and printer ink, but now you can find the funds to purchase glocks for them?' (Something like this, at least. I can't remember an exact quote or who said it.) It's accurate and very sad.
Yeah true but when kids lives are at stake those are the monetary costs we must pay. At the very least give the teachers the option to get licensed and bring their own weapon. How many times does this need to happen before we do something? Ban ARs too.
So you are shutting down a very good answer to the problem because why exactly? Arming teachers is a good thing. People who have guns stop the other people who are killing with guns. That is fact. And that is the ONLY thing that will stop the person with the gun killing people.
And please don't be stupid and say no guns should be sold. If not legal -guns will be bought illegally. Just fact unless you are an ostrich and have your head in the sand.
@@clmcoclmco2222 With that logic why are drugs illegal? If it will be done illegally anyway, what's the difference? Obviously without mentioning 18th Century feather cursive writing. Really, why are there any laws then? Plus most aren't arguing "no guns at all" they're arguing an 18 year old with an AR-15. Slightly different category.
Thanks, Rich. ❤️🙏🏾
Thank you Rich.
Well said. Never stop, you speak for so many parents and people. Thank you!!!
Can we get this man in front of Congress please?
Love you, Rich! You speak the truth, and while it hurts politicians (likely wallet-pumped by the NRA) that are trying to pivot and talk this away, be a human being and use a modicum of common sense. The truth you speak both hurts & makes (too much) sense!
Those fighting to keep their power in support of gun lobbies should be forced to sit in same room with the parents of these dead children and talk but more importantly listen face to face.
It’s not the guns lobby it the American people who support the right to own a guns as well as the constitution.
@@bulldogsbob I think it’s both, but good point. More guns than people in US
@@bulldogsbob Look how much most of the Republicans have gotten from the NRA. Some Democrats too but overwhelmingly Republicans.
@@davidleary4524 it could also be because Republicans voters like me also support gun rights.
@@bulldogsbob Every metric, including actual votes, shows that those opposing gun control are in the minority by a good margin.
Our Constitution has been amended before. To hold up a document several hundred years old as a defense of anything is stupid at best.
Thank you Rich
I am part of that group who listens and watches sports in order to skip some realities, but I think is necessary that people, like you, who have this type of platform, speak openly about this gruesome issue. The fact that US schools are far from being safe, and that literally anybody, no matter their phycological background can buy a weapon is just crazy.
Well said. Too bad no one in charge has your common sense.
It's not even that. They don't care because of the money they get from the NRA and it's one of the things they've gotten their base to believe. "Democrats are going to take away your guns". Twisting the 2nd Amendment to mean something the founding fathers couldn't have possibly foreseen.
Great job Rich, nothing but love
thank you!
I´m so glad living in Germany. It´s nearly imposible to get a gun here. It usually takes month/years and you need a specific reason for. (working in security/police ect.) I´m praying for all the parents, families and lives lost. 🙏💔

Preach brother tell them how it is and god bless your passion and honesty love your show huge fa of you sir god bless u and your family and for the love of christ something has to be done to protect our children and folks of this great nation its not always about money folks we are talking about innocent people lives here .god help us all im besides myself with disappointment and sadness do something dammit seriously enough is enough.
Thank you Rich. Keep talking about it. My wife works in a school, my 12 year old son is in middle school and my little baby girl starts kindergarten in the fall. This whole saga sickens me.
Thank you Rich, if I had your platform I'd be screaming the exact same thing. I've listen to our supposedly leaders and like you stated it's everyone and everything else's fault ...BUT the easy access and the shooter himself.
I thought for a moment that Rich was just avoiding the topic (What BTW was making me feel disappointed of him). Rich you have a platform, thanks for use it the right way.
Love it, Rich! Keep it coming.
Thank you.
I am a Jamaican living in Jamaica and I am utterly dumbfounded how Americans follow some of these stupid politicians so blindly while their fellow Americans including children are dying so senselessly because of easy access to guns.
The only problem with a background check, I personally favor the idea, is that for many of these spree killers they have no background that will show up because there's nothing documented. The idea of psychological evaluations is a good, solid step that we should be taking when someone begins to show even the slightest sign of anti-social behavior or diminished capacity. If we can somehow help these kids before they get so low and hopelessness takes them to such a bad place, we could make a difference. Even if only one incident like this were prevented, it would be well worth the time, effort, and cost of doing it.
Psychologists can be manipulated. All a person has to do is answer the questions the way they’re supposed to be answered. Anyone not completely insane or in psychosis can figure out how to pass. I’ve personally taken several, up to around 600 questions, with many reworded but the same question. I had thought "If I was crazy, I could still see how to answer all of these to make them happy”. The interviews in person were simple and not invasive or even remotely intrusive. A person could fake their way through the entire process with just a hint of charisma and confidence.
This kid had a background check. Maybe rich should do his homework next time.
@@1slow5point0 so do absolutely nothing because there isn't a perfect answer?!?!
@@CODYoungGunna People who wish to do harm to others will always find a way. The only solution is to return fire and stop the threat. Not wait around or run and hide. In my opinion, there should be multiple teachers trained and carrying concealed.
@@1slow5point0 so do nothing to attempt to mitigate this? Accept that kids can go to school and get shot? It sounds to me that you don't want to losr easy access to guns for whatever reason and that's cool, just don't sit here and lie to me.
Thank you Rich, don’t stop.
Don't ever apologize for calling out your elected officials to do something. It's not complicated: do something. “Anger is a gift. Remember that. You gotta grasp onto it, hold it tight and use it as ammunition. You use that anger to get things done instead of just stewing in it.”
So, the rights of those parents to raise their children peacefully is less than the 2nd amendment to most of the gun crowd 🤦🏻♂️🤬🤬
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of schoolchildren.
- Thomas Jefferson
He passed a background check btw.
Most Americans are in the same position. It's 10% of the population who don't want their gun rights restricted, and 50 senators. 90%of the population are in the same damn boat. But majority doesn't rule anymore, does it?
10%? Lol! Cope
Majority whines but don’t bother to vote
Amazing Rich!
Thanks Rich
They don't trust the educators to teach, but they will trust them with a weapon? Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with that logic.
Nothing happens, because gun manufacturers donate millions to members of the republican party, particularly senators. When I say that, many roll their eyes and dismiss the observation as being "political." But it's the truth, it's cause and effect. The sooner we somehow tackle that relationship (by voting?), the sooner we can make change.
There are many Democrats in rural areas that are against control laws too. Joe Manchin in WVA and even Bernie Sanders in rural Vermont. The Democrats had huge majorities during Obama Administration during Sandy Hook and Biden and Democrats control congress now with slimmer majorities. THEY can make change but don’t have the votes from Democrat Senators and House Members in rural areas. But of course all you hear from the media is that Ted Cruz is the problem. Why don’t the damn Democrats actually do something for us when they get elected?
Axios just released a list of politicians that receive the most contributions from gun lobby groups. Not a shocker that they’re all Republicans that always respond to each tragedy with a whataboutism or simply offer up prayers
I do not support gun rights because of gun manufactures.
How many millions, exactly, do they donate? How much is that compared to insurance lobbyists? Medical?
How about you look into the numbers before you regurgitate talking points that are put out there more for emotional purposes as compared to the actual veracity of the claim?
