I'm a former police officer, firefighter and medic. I offered the schools in my area to be their Resource Officer - and all turned me down because "we don't need this", "we can't pay you" (I would have volunteered), "it scares the kids", "the parents won't like a militant presence in the school". There you have it. But they have no problems sending billions to foreign countries protecting foreign people
My school back in 1971, a junior high school had a Tucson Police resource officer. Without any intimidation he steered me in the right direction when I was 13. Not sure if he knew it, but God did, I hope I see that man in heaven when I get there!! He was also directly involved in my positive attitude of police officers so much that I served with the Air Force Security Police for 6 years, then served with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office for another 20 years. In 1971 we had no fear of someone coming on the campus armed to kill us kids, it was not even a thought.
I am from Australia.
You nuts in USA are crazy.
We dont have 'resource officers'. I had to look it up. You guys have police officers at school full time during a school day. That is a joke. We would have police officers come maybe once or twice a year to do a talk for 15mins about 'staying out of trouble' etc. We dont have a cop on school property 9am - 3pm. everyday. That is ridiculous and a waste of resources.
Amazing how you dont need 'resource officers' when you don't have more than one gun per person.
@@random19911004 Gang violence was bad in the 80s-90s like you would have gangs of all sorts in one highschool and next thing you know they throwing fists or stabbing during school and worst case scenario shooting them right outside the school. It's more tone down now since everyone is trying to make money with mostly gang violence centralized around in-fighting rather than warring with other gangs and the zones of "conducting" has already been established in the early 2000s.
@@GM8101PHX thanks for at least trying....i worked for a NY school system for 28yrs...my school now has an unarmed PO in building ...if something goes sideways he has a radio to call another PO in a car across the street in an apartment complex parking lot...what could go wrong
Get a good gun, get a good holster, learn to use them safely, carry them everywhere you go.
I don't follow no gun signs I carry everywhere everyday no matter where or when. I refuse to fly so I can stay armed I refuse to allow my family to fall victim
Been doing that since Sandy Hook.
@@timjohnson8390 Criminals pay no heed to those signs, hence the need to carry everywhere.
AND a good belt!!
In The Famous Words Of Tyson James "What's A Gun Free Zone?"
I was present immediately after a school shooting very early in my career. As an EMT, we had only one victim to treat, who unfortunately died from a close quarters shotgun blast. The reason its not news at the Acushnet Elementary School in Acushnet MA (back in 1998 I think it was) is very simply because the principal, seeing the gunman walk by his office and head towards the library full of kids, TACKLED the suspect and held him while others removed the firearm. Spot on, only way to stop violence is to be prepared to do violence.
1993 to be exact.
In December 2001, Washington Post wrote up your neighboring town, New Bedford, as an example of how the system worked. The Post's observation, and I tend to agree, the city is so hardscrabble, expecially back then, that the attitude was not the "it would never happen here" of a more wealthy district. New Bedford was more like "damn right it could happen here, it WILL happen here, if it can happen aywhere it could happen here". So they prepared for it. Active shooter drills, being on the lookout for suspicious behavior and all that. Sure enough, they found the suspicious behavior, student mouthing off about violence. Police investigated, and they found the weapons and explosives. The kids involved were interviewed, and like Massad Ayoub points out here, it's important NOT to give these kids publicity. The kids involved said they wanted to outdo Columbine.
@@saudade2100 Lesson learned after two shootings in local schools. There was also a suicide by firearm in a vocational school some years earlier but you’re correct because I never herd of the 2001 incident you are referring to. The court systems let the shooter out of jail free after his sentence in the first case, and wouldn’t ya know he assaulted his elderly father again and was back in jail within 5 years.
I’m from New Bedford and never heard this before 🤦🏽♂️
Attleboro here, me either!
Mass here also and never heard of this event. I would have been in or just out of the schools around then. Sadly Massachusetts followed the pattern of the New York's and California's of the world.
Today, I'd be more surprised if prosecutors didn't contend the principal should have talked to the would be shooter before a physical stoppage and have him up on assault charges.
This man needs to be on the media front .... The media that's on every TV in the country .
Perhaps in my country too... People need to really hear what he is saying .
This episode needs to air on National Television.
This ain't his only one.
Never ever happen.
You got that right,Van Mann!
nvr, liberals run the media n swear there are no riots nor good ppl with guns that saves lives
Sharing!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for telling the TRUTH. Back in 1938 here in Montana, a person killed a woman and child. He was hung in town. Dad said that for the next two years, no one got too drunk. When the guilty are held accountable, the people take notice.
DAMN SKIPPY !
" A media inspired trend crime." Well said.
Media inspired crime... well, I'd go along with that if parents let the media raise their kids. I say lazy and stupid parents who have not a single iota of common sense & good parenting judgement leads to little morons thinking guns will solve their problem, even emotional ones. Take for example, who in the Hell buys their kid a Sig when that same kid was cooking up artwork of people getting shot. That Sandy Hook shooter, his idiot mother kept ARs in the open, along with the damn ammo. Idiot! If one's kids are off, don't exacerbate their worst tendencies. Get a dang clue, lock up and safe off your guns if you must have them.
Liberal media and the rest of Democrats love to publicize these killers
The only thing that will stop a lunatic with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
@@usatrooper5045 I wish people would stop saying this. You don't need to be a good guy to shoot a violent lunatic. What you need is a loaded gun and some functional gonads to make you use it. Being a good person just means you didn't become the lunatic.
@@ImperialistJoe So you don’t think shooting a bad guy with a gun makes a person with a loaded gun and functional gonads a good guy?
I’m a veteran retired with nothing better to do than volunteer my time to guard our schools. Absolutely agree with you, good sir.
Sadly, many school districts would turn down volunteers for both the fear of a law suit and too many liberal teachers having fits about having a gun in the school.
@@billclisham8668 I am also in the system so I have been cleared to enter prisons and government and military facilities, they have my prints and DNA and so I am not just some slur off the street with a CCW. I get what you are saying and that is not what I meant.

I am literally in tears listening to these words as a dad of three young children. I would given my life to protect the innocent. May God rest their souls of the loved ones who passed. The only person to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun who will stand for the innocent. Thank you Mas for your words of sincerity and courage.
I absolutely agree with this American man and retired police officer, Massad Ayoob, of middle eastern descent, on gun rights and ending the folly of "no-gun zones"!
Amen brother! There is no room anywhere in this country for gun. Free zones. Thank you for putting this out there.
Someone please tell me why WE PROTECT OUR MONEY AND POLITICIANS WITH GUNS,BUT NOT OUR MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE. OUR CHILDREN! END GUN-FREE ZONES OR SLAUGHTER ZONES!! THANK YOU Massad.
Because this “country” is owned and operated by criminals.
This is very well said. No emotional outburst, no knee jerk reactions. Simply compassion for victims, honor for the heroes who stepped up to protect others, and contempt for the ones responsible for the crimes. As it should be.
But ... little in the way of how or why these crimes are able to be committed in the USA and .. virtually no where else in the world.. and there is a reason that is NOT addressed... and until that reason is addressed.. this carnage will continue and go on and on... The proposed solution ... is one that no one else requires.. anywhere else in the world.. except for the USA..
@@danerlich7393 Reasons political, geographic, Demographic. Guns verboten next door in Mexico, yet twice the murder rate as US. US 3rd highest murder rate worldwide to 189th by discounting a few neighborhoods in St Louis, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, WA DC. Drug market, war on drugs?
@@winston1788 no where else in the world are so many mass shootings taking place as in the USA. Your freedoms are a leading cause of DEATH. When you love your children more than you love your guns including self defence with them them and only then will the carnage stop.
@@ThePdqsailor John Lott's factual research says you require the willing suspension of disbelief. The rate, the rate, the rate. It's known here as colloquial American english. Maybe you can't understand Mas Ayoob. In any case, stay where you are. US has too many helpless twatts already.
@@winston1788 I live in Canada.. the ONLY ones carrying hand guns here - are the criminals.. and the police/security guards. There is virtually NO one with a carry permit in the entire nation as a citizen.. On the other hand there are also no AR 15's here and NONE with extended range magazines.. they are prohibited.. So.. We have virtually ZERO mass shootings.. We have gun crime with criminals who buy smuggled 9 mm handguns and ammunition.. That is an increasing problem but again virtually ZERO mass shootings because the weapons required to do these despicable crimes.. are NOT available to civilians.. The other thing that is not available to civilians - is self defence with a fire arm - try it and end up in prison...
Several teachers at our school district just completed CSSO (commissioned school security officer) training. We now have signs like the one Mas mentioned near the doors. We will stop anyone who tries to hurt our kids.
The US is the only nation in the World where teachers learn to shoot. Something is failing here,,,and it is not gun laws.
That is great to hear, what state are you in?
Thats very concerning as kids now have access to grab your guns and use it against everyone there. Not a good idea.
@@Duran762 He didn't say the kids knew where the guns were or knew who had the training. According to my acquaintance with such programs, the identities of staff so trained are kept strictly confidential. Secondly, if the staff member is carrying concealed with a good retention holster, you think a kid or even two can really overpower the adult--trained adult--and draw that gun?
@@hawtenslaton4307 Arkansas. There were 16 school districts that had teacher carry, but after Uvalde there are over 50 new districts (of 250 or so total districts in the state) that are training teachers to carry.

Thank you, everyone should watch this!
My phone spelled your name wrong, sorry!
Anti-gunners won't- they don't want to hear the truth, they want to take your(and my)guns!
I spent 26 years in the US Army Military Police. Stateside and overseas. I carry every day, everywhere I go. I couldn’t live with myself if I could have made a difference except for the fact that my pistol ( 1911 ) was in the safe. This Country needs more trained good people with guns. God Bless.
Rob please see/share my Link tree and help me improve any of it if you can, thank you! linktr.ee/michaelatkinson
Thanks for mentioning training. Without training a gun toting do gooder is more of a liability than an asset.
@@jackalay23 I agree, as a gun person my entire life, I thought I understood self-defense with the hand gun but the more training I took the more I realized I didn’t know. Most people don’t even know how much there is they don’t know. Gun skills are perishable so get the training then religiously practice what it is you’ve been taught
There is more to it than simply standing at a gun range shooting at a static target. Only person not moving in a gun fight has been shot
I was in the mp corps too, couldn't agree more
I appreciate that you didn't use the name of the killers...as opposed to the media, who just say "We won't give him the publicity he wants...anyway, here's his picture, name, and biography".
No he used their correct names. Monster, killer, loser, evil little bastard.
hah. i literally watched cnn newsroom the saturday after the 2015 umpqua incident do that exact song and dance. one single camera cut from saying they wouldn't, to unloading everything. same host, same studio.
they could have at least tried a little bit.
It has been policy with The Daily Wire to never show pictures of or mention the name of these attackers, for very many years.
And a netflix show in a few years
Thanks for watching!
Powerful. Massad has a way of speaking that really hits you in the heart.
@@ronaldrenegade8519 do enlighten us
Short sighted and ignorant I would say.
@@ronaldrenegade8519 It only lacks logical reasoning to those who are ignoring the logic in his word and his experience. Now sit down. The adults are talking.
I absolutely agree
I’ve been saying this for years. Stop putting these mass murderers on magazines, television. And stop giving them all the time on TV. And give them a fast track to jail if they survive whatever they were doing.
We need to re-normalize executing heinous criminals. Spending 60-100k/year keeping a 20 something who murdered children alive for 60 years is delusional behavior facilitated by "compassionate" politicians appealing to sheltered voters, usually while owning a piece of the for profit prisons they happily fill "out of the kindness of their heart". You know what would be really compassionate? Spending that 3.6-6 million dollars on the victims' families, and $0.23 on the perp.
I digress. Put them on tv attempting but failing to shoot up a school. It’ll send a message to the other wannabees
Fast track to the chair.
I have no mercy for a very clear cut case of murdering children and innocents for pleasure and fame.
Its all a gov. psy op. Here is a typical example. They are doing about one a month now:
mileswmathis.com/uvalde.pdf
And instead publicize the cases and people who stop/kill the murdering sacks of shit with a gun and give them the air time.
Mas I'm 54 and learned 90% of my firearms knowledge from you in the 80s gun articles you published. I might add this includes my four years in the Marine Corps. You are the last of a breed of real men, Col. Jeff Cooper, Ken Hackathorn, Elmer Keith et al. Thank you for your decades of hard work and law enforcement carrier.
Agreed, Mr Ayoob is one of the greats of the genre! I have been reading his articles for forty or fifty years!
Well done Massad !
Never heard of Jeanne Assam. What a badass. Thanks for letting us know about this!
Nor me , her story actually brought a tear to my eye.
My wife and I work at a private school. We both carry and will defend our children. Our church where the school is located also has a very good security system in place. I pray that I never have to deal with this but we are prepared!
My son is volunteer security at his church.
This comment is so eerie considering the shooting that occurred at the private Christian school in Nashville this week. 😢 they definitely needed armed employees and at least some kind of security! Thank God for those officers that took the laugh out within 13 minutes of the start of the rampage.
❤️👍🙏
I’m just throwing this out. It’s good that you’re armed and volunteer to defend your church and school family but don’t underestimate the value of training. Having a firearm is only part of the equation. The answers comes when you get the training. Standing at a gun range shooting a static target doesn’t replicate a gun fight. Seek out kinetic combat pistol training. .
As a person who has been a gun person my entire life, I thought I understood self-defense with a handgun. The truth of the matter is I didn’t know how much I didn’t know.
Not only will you learn a lot but you’ll have a lot of fun.
“We never rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training”
I'd consider moving to your town to raise my kids. And I'd love to spread this policy everywhere in the USA
As a former LEO, I'm in full agreement with you sir. I'm always armed at my church. Wouldn't go without my .45acp.
"Condition one"
I feel truly sorry for you having to live in such a shithole that you have to go to church armed.
I agree 100%
I agree 100% I never leave home without my Glock 29
One in the tube. Finger not on trigger Safety
I provide security for a private Christian educational center, my 92 concealed on my hip. We recognize that the leading cause of school children's deaths is the public school motto: "GUN FREE ZONE."
THANK YOU for articulating what people with an ounce of common sense have been thinking!
Possibly, but that motto / frequently seen sign, might not make sense to a mass shooter, with the lack of intelligence of a killer they might think it means "Free to bring your gun in this Zone" .
"Leading cause of school children's deaths.." interesting. Take the sign down or make carrying legal and all is solved! Never thought it was that simple
Thanks to our sitting President for the Joe Biden Gun Free Zone School Safety Act,which he introduced & is still the only major legislation that he has helped to pass into a bad law.
For accuracy's sake, leading causes of death among US children include vehicle accidents, disease and suicide.
The only individuals respecting GFZ signage are the good guys.
The sandy hook example brought me to tears. I'm a proud Texan and my firearm stays on my side no matter where I go. Not only to protect myself and my family but also to protect the innocent people around me.
uvalde
I Agree. How hard is it? To have fit, skilled and brave veterans to guard the innocent precious kids. This country has Armed security for Politicians, Sports arenas, Banks... but not the kids? Shows what our society really values...
Yep yep agree. How do we win before we lose more is my question. ...
Well said.
Tragically, over the last 5 years, we had the Parkland, FL tragedy and the Uvalde, TX tragedy, where "armed police officers" failed to confront an active shooter. That tells me that "We the People" are better suited to protecting school children than the police are.
just as hard as it is to find cops that won't kill young black/brown men. thats how hard.
Ask yourself why there are no mass killings in other nations EXCEPT THE USA... and then we can have an intelligent conversation..
Massad, again thank you. God continue to bless you.
Agree, I can not understand how anyone could disagree with protecting the lives of our precious children. Thank You
You need to ask what it is about your society that leads to the need to provide extreme measures to protect your precious children. By allowing lunatics and young, immature people to buy and amass assault weapons and ammuition...well, what could possibly go wrong?
@@thegreatvincenzo8159 how to your stop lunatics and immature people from getting guns? Also most mass shootings are carried out with handguns.
@@thegreatvincenzo8159 your ignorance is showing, it isn't hard to obtain illegal firearms, when they're smuggled along with illegal drugs all the time.

@@thegreatvincenzo8159 as always, you say something ignorant, but you stay silent when you're hit with actual logic.
"Ah, but the mere presence of a gun might drive the gun owner into a frenzied murder spree! Yes, the teacher themselves might become the mass murderer if they happen to have a gun!"
I kid you not, this was the counter argument given to me by a putatively intelligent and educated leftist.
Massad, awesomeness
An absolutely an amazing talk. It should be shown at every schoolboard meeting in the United States.
Oh no. They don't want to hear the truth because it would affect their agenda.
You have zero show, zero ego, just wisdom and stone cold pragmatism. Subscribed.
Mee too.
Subscribed.❤
I have been preaching the same thing for 30 years after doing a seminar with you in Washington state. You keep doing your best as will I!
Thank you Mr Ayoob !
Definitely right. As it was said: the predators looking for prey not for death... If he knows that he will meet the end, he will let go.
Every ordinary citizen should own and know how to use a gun, same as in homes, in schools and offices. Just like a fire extinguisher or flashlight. Thank you mr Ayoob.
I am a retired music teacher and a Navy Veteran.. I've been trained as a NRA Pistol Instructor and attained Marksman upon completing the 250 Pistol course offered by Gunsite Academy. I always asked the RSO if he would like assistance if the situation was dire. I was always prepared for this and subscribed to all local laws in doing so. I suggested that teachers who are military veterans be given the opportunity to train as Auxiliary Police officers allowing them to carry in schools legally. 6 APOs could accomplish the goal of keeping students safe because of three advantages, 1) they know the foot print of the school., 2) they know the students who will take instruction from them as a matter of course, 3) and their training is consistent with the police in that jurisdiction. As with your mention of the principal at Sandy Hook, teachers have demonstrated over and over again their willingness to protect their students with the same dedication the Secret Service protects our Presidents. They should be armed and once this becomes public knowledge, the shootings would end because the cowardly bastards would find another soft target. I developed this in 2012 and the administrators are as cowardly as the evil shooters.
I'm a current band and orchestra teacher and I'm also a firearms instructor. These laws that take away our 2A rights at school are evil!
Amen brother!
I read an article some months ago in the USCCA magazine which claims many of the teachers don’t want to carry a gun in school because if they did it would put them in the position of having a to be an “active” defender at the school and they really didn’t want that responsibility. The gentleman writing the article work for the US CCA but was retired county deputy/schoolteacher. As teachers I would like your thoughts on this.
Yea this position would be to assume enough teachers in each school want to carry a gun. Want to train with a gun. Face danger head on. And are prepared to end the life of another. At the latest shooting the school had a police force and an officer in the school. He didn't engage the person and the officers ran when the shooting started.
Military training has nothing to do with it. Unless, you are looking for a robot that will follow orders without thought. Allow all staff to carry period. I grew up with the military. There are just as many asshats in the service as on the street.
Excellent video as always… nobody says it better than Massad.. even back in the day when he wrote critical mass.
Mr. Ayoob, I appreciate you greatly, sir...and I'm praying for your protection. Thank you for telling the truth. All of this madness is nothing short of spiritual delusion, because history shows a cycle that cannot be denied by any sane and honest person. God bless you, sir.
Chills down my spine Mas. Very powerful words
I spent over 8 years in the Infantry and I am a combat veteran. I live in a state that is so liberal that they love their gun-free zones. I along with many of my fellow veterans would gladly volunteer to help guard our children in our schools. I can't think of a safer environment than a school protected by veterans. The bad guy would never make it through the parking lot. Thank you Mr. Ayoob for your words of wisdom because we in the armed world know that the only way to stop a predator is an armed good guy.
I'm a Veteran and I would gladly vlounteer!
if you think the future is transforming schools in FOBs you missed something in your analysis. search for the root of the problem instead of the symptoms or the problem will never disappear. 😑
This. THIS!!! I have long held the opinion that a federal program offering employment to veterans protecting schools would be a huge success. Not only would it protect children, but it could be therapeutic for veterans with PTSD. One more example, I guess, of how our corrupt political system is not interested in helping the constituency, only themselves.

This video, in my opinion, should be required viewing by every School Board and every City Council in the United States. Mr. Ayoob presents his case calmly, yet bluntly.
I agree 100%. Arm and train all the teachers that are willing.
That last part brought chills. God bless those willing to defend the innocent by no obligation other than their own moral compass. And God damn the nameless cowards that would prey on the weak.
100% agree with everything you said, here, Mr. Ayoob. Thank you for helping to shed the truth on the darkness of ignorance plaguing so many in our great nation. 2A, baby.
Love the passion Massad! As usual you are right on target. For ages I've seen the phrase "gun free zone" and thought, "I don't want to be there!" I even stay away from places that post "No Firearms Allowed" here in Texas.
Those are where the majority of mass shootings happen....I mean, when do we ever hear of shootings from places where the majority of people are armed.
@@joshku7488 Exactly, not very often some nut job decides to go into a police station where every officer is armed and start shooting... also, I am far more concerned about government tyranny than the occasional mass shooting.

My work has a "no firearms" sign. The illustration is of a Walther p.38
I think they're expecting some 99 year old Argentinan to come in and gun us down.
Reminds me of the time quite a few years back, when I was Target practicing down at red's gun range in Oak Hill Tx. I asked one of the employees "Do you think anyone could pull a armed robbery here, and make it out the door?" His response was "Well, he might make it out the door, but he would not make it down the street for a block."
Very moving. Thank you Massad and Wilson Combat
You make many points, sir. I'm retired after 32 years LE, the last 6 spent in school safety and security methods within my department and the surrounding school districts. The biggest obstacle to overcome is, sadly, apathy. Apathy within LE, school districts and the community itself. The "It can't happen here" mentality. A pervasive cancer that I strongly believe had a strong hold in the most recent tragedy in Uvalde.
I'd value your take on the Uvalde shooting. I've seen the argument, many times, that arming school staff is ridiculous given that the entire Uvalde police force wouldn't confront the shooter. "And you think a schoolteacher would?!". And so on.
Worthless anecdote: My neighbor is a high school English teacher. She had never SEEN a gun until I took her shooting at my camp. Dead on with the AR-15, first try. Does quite well with pistols, despite my poor training. She's hardly the bravest soul, but if she were armed and minimally trained, and there was a threat to her classroom, god help the shooter.
You police have spent decades drawing a line between the public and yourself.. you've blindly enforced every peice of crap legislation they tell you too despite the fact it's obviously unconstitutional... So go fly a kite officer ....
@@shalafi71 Considering that a schoolteacher left the exterior door unlocked which allowed the shooter entry into the school I would agree.
People have te right to defend their selves and the innocent against madman's. Wokey's take away that right to stay alive and protect others. I wundering...from what planet are those people? The US will become the home of the wokey's instead of the home of the free and the brave. And their vehicle is our leader of the free world: a fumbling, mumbling old man. The greatness of the US diminishes in a rapid pace.
@@shalafi71 The training is out there and it's free for LE. There's no excuse for any cop anywhere to not be trained in response to active shooter, yet here we are looking at Uvalde. The problem extends to school boards and city councils as well. Apathy is the biggest problem.. "It can''t happen here."
I have watched your videos over the past few weeks, and this one made me decide that it's time to comment. This one was so powerful and deeply emotional for me. I was in Buffalo NY working the recovery program for an organization after an animal entered a supermarket in what he knew was a black neighborhood, killing 10 people and wounding three. I was at the courthouse today to submit my application for my WCL. Thank you for bringing awareness of so many things that need to be considered before responsible gun ownership and carry. I have yet to purchase my gun, but after seeing your videos, I have vowed that I will not consider carrying it until I have put a thousand rounds through it, and it's still up for discussion after that. Thanks again.

not all of my class mates in k-6 were responsible so not a good idea for gun ownership, not sure about parenting at home so maybe something to do with that ? my parent was in Vsog/cia/nam-vet so respect for gun's ect was driven hard into my younger self by them
As always, Massad, you always bring home the truth in simple terms. Thank you for your expertise
Much appreciated
Massad's words....Direct, blunt, and truthful! This is a video that needs to be played on every news channel across America.
Kentac, I wholeheartedly agree, and intend to send this clip to as many people and as many places as I can think of! I spent almost 20 years developing school safety plans in one of the most liberal, anti-gun states in the nation. When I left (forced out by the administration, who hated the fact that I spoke my mind and didn't kowtow to the liberal stupidity which was pervasive in the public school even then in the 1990's) I had two file cabinet drawers filled with data taken from school shootings between 1999 and 2010, as well as information on school attacks going back to the 1920's. One of the commonalities between almost all of those incidents was the fact that the killing stopped once the attacker was confronted by someone with a gun!. Usually that was the point at which they took their own lives, but almost always it was the point at which their rampage stopped! I'm sure there will be those who'll chide Ayoob for being so dramatic in this video, but obviously he's doing it for a damned good reason. I only wish there were more school administrators with the mindset described by Ayoob in this video clip. Unfortunately the majority of them are spineless wimps, who are petrified of identifying to the authorities those kids in their school whom they can TELL are little psychopaths with the capacity to commit acts of mass murder! The fact is in almost EVERY instance where someone used a gun to kill many people- whether at a school or in the workplace - those who knew the perpetrator KNEW that they were capable of these acts, and were not surprised when they did! We need to be identifying and treating mentally sick people - NOT taking away the only means of self-defense from decent people.
Nahh this liberal pussy ridden system won’t have it. Fuck!! it pisses me off to no end!
Every one should have a means of self-defense. Everywhere! Hope we can open the eyes of those who believe restricting guns is an answer.
Thank's Mas! I have learned so much from you! I'm an Ohio resident and proud of our FASTER program!
When I worked for the PD, we used to call gun free zones a "Crime Spree Zone".
You should get a go fund me going to make a billboard sign for that quote
@@jetsh1ftman746 😂🤣
Lets make a ton of signs saying crime spree zone due to gun free zone and put em on every starbucks 🤣
well germany is pretty much a gun free zone and to your surprise i dont hear any school shootings happening or any massshootings on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis... i wonder why... oh wait because the gun laws are strict here...
100 percent agreed. I have no problem with a competent adult protecting my children with a firearm in the same way that I do day by day.
The truth that American people need to hear
Thank you for your wisdom Sir. I enjoyed your interview on Gun Talk Radio on Sunday. I could listen to you and Tom Gresham all day long...
Thanks for a well thought out and effective response. We need to protect ourselves and our children and this would go a long way towards that end. Take care and stay safe.
Absolutely!
Our local elementary school has stickers on the entrance doors that state, "Our staff is armed and will protect our students at all costs!" And yes I am in Ohio.
In Ohio also and managed a family owned gun store 5 years ago. We gave a significant discount to local school employees after contact from the principles of multiple schools. It honestly is the only way to stop this madness.
I wish we would learn to do that here but well, California....
Sorry, but if a school cannot get the Englush correct on a sign it's the last place I would be sending my children for an education.
Meanwhile police stand back, wait an hour or more for backup listening to continued shots, for "officer safety".
@@thegreatvincenzo8159 What are you talking about? The English on the sign is correct. And, it's English, not Englush.
Hello, just another born & raised California resident here (in a county where’s its damm near impossible to get a CCW). I just want to say this video was really good. I had a lump in my throat & got really teary eyed. Such a good message, thank you for getting these points across; especially to people that are highly against guns.
We have to continue this fight for our rights to end such killing zones. If it's important, then we need to press the matter.
Continue to apply for that CCW. Those I know still in CA apply, wait, and hope it gets approved. Luckily not an issue here in TX now. Just need to worry about the political DA more than anything.
Not impossible anymore…thanks Supreme Court!
Keep at it to get the ccw. Took me about 8 months but I got it. Also in southern California
You are 100-percent on target my friend. Thank God men like you exist.
Well said, well researched and well put!
I've been knowing about you since the 80's. As a Law Enforcement veteran of 33 years I want to thank you for all you have done and still continue to do. God Bless you and America. Note : my school teacher wife thanks you too...❤
Hear! Hear! Hear what this wise and eloquent speaker has to say!
Mas - Always calm, Always logical, Always sensible, Always educational - Buy his books! My copy of "In the Gravest Extreme" has been read so many times it's become a dog-eared classic.
absolute fundamental, nearly required reading, for anyone that owns a firearm for self defense. Best, most knowledgeable author ever on that subject!
Absolutely, it should be bought and read by everyone before they buy their first gun. And then re-read. Then its companion book, "Deadly Force: Understanding Your Right to Self Defense" that Mas published in 2014. Mas Ayoob is a treasury of knowledge on the subject, and he has an engaging, easily readable style. Both books are vital to have for every gun owner!
Awesome video guys. It's 💯 true. Every person in this country needs to see this video. Thanks for the good work you guys do! 👍
Thanks for Watching!
In my estimation, the ones needing to view won't. Those who know the past realities have already viewed this video and others
I just found this sobering, truth-based message just days after another tragedy in Nashville. And until "grownups" in every community heed this wise council we'll continue to see evil people prey on the most vulnerable in our society. Our corrupt government is not going to help solve this problem.
Like lots of other problems everything someone points.out the most effective and simple solution, the liberals close their ears and flap their noise tongues meaninglessly
I agree sir, my kids safety is %100 my responsibility. I wish my entire community shared this value, but not all of them do. It is comforting to know there are men like yourself teaching this to the public. You have my respect sir
I watched your commentary with tears in my eyes - you are so right - IMAGINE
Here in more rural NJ we had State Police in the high school. It helped me sleep better at night knowing my kids had “friendlies” to keep watch. They still do too. 👍🏻🇺🇸❤️
Friendlies, right up until another Uvalde happens. Then, you learn who’s really friend and who’s foe.
I would have hated having police in my school at any time K-12. Why have them? That makes a school seem like a prison. I never thought, at any point K-12, that I was in danger and needed armed personnel at my school.
The percentage, per capita, who are dangerous "psychopaths" (or whatver language one uses) is no greater today than in the 1500s -- as far as I've been able to tell, at least.
If you want to get some real perspective on who and what is a danger to you personally, investigate the history of what in the 20th Century began being called "mass murder" -- globally. Then investigate murders, who commits them, what are the circumstances.
A mindset of fear is a mindset of uselessness, and a mindset that keeps everyone from living a decently enjoyable life. One of the worst things anyone can do to a developing (juvenile) mind is to create an environment of fear/intimidation. In fact, that increases the likelihood the fearful and intimidated child will grow up with skewed right/wrong decision-making. And that's one of the factors in making "psychopath" status.
No one likes a traffic ticket, but the NJSP are the most professional organization in America along with the very high standards of the PTC, the police training commission of New Jersey for all NJ cops. (or at least they were, who knows what Phil Murphy has done to them-ha)
@@joesheetstheragman7737
“The most professional organization in America”? Lol
I do believe those clowns are the same kidnappers who abducted an attorney for a minor traffic infraction at night time after she refused to speak to them and answer their questions. Then, like good, little, mindless robots, the first thing they advised her of upon retaliating against her and initiating her “arrest” was that she had the RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. You can’t train away this level of stupid.
@@joesheetstheragman7737 I was not commenting on NJSP itself, but instead the concept of having troopers or police officers in the school. I am sure NJSP troopers are well trained. The state has everything from simple rural to complex big-city including the varieties of crimes with that broad spectrum of towns and people.
"News" (better said, fear-generating) media would have us think we should militarize every public setting because so many dangerous people live among us. This is why I said, look into murders and mass murders over human history, around the world. Decide for yourself whether you should be as afraid as the "news" wants you to be.
The recent domestic cultural frictions are a different question. I'm not talking about that.
After the pandemic of 2020, I started researching firearms, & in 2021 I joined the 2A community with y'all!
Welcome to the community Eric .
Nailed it.
I very much enjoy Mr. Ayoob's little chats
John Lott says 20 states now have some degree of authorization for teachers and staff who are ready, willing, able, to carry concealed handguns. Physical building security would be good as well.
Alabama is one of these. Armed teachers and administers. Armed Camps Cops too.
@Gil Corazon how much is the life of a child worth?!!! ask yourself that question Gil!!
@Gil Corazon Yeah those door locks! And paying attention! Ridiculous! I always have to pay attention to security at home, just because of a few criminals. Hate when that happens! And those fire extinguishers are so expensive!
I'm a public school elementary teacher and a firearms instructor on the side. My gun stays at home, useless, every single day. Us teachers have Second Amendment rights too! There is NO reason we should be stripped of our right to keep and bear arms just because we work at a school.
@Gil Corazon Try looking for armed volunteers.All yo need to do is ask.
We need rightous voices like yours speaking out the truth. Would love to see you guys come down to GA and get this started here while we still have a governor with some sense!
Outstanding!
Don't be a victim!
Stay strapped!
Well said. Thank you
Totally agree sir. Thank you for posting.
I've lived in Colorado all 34 years of my life and it's terrible that these phychos are doing this especially in my beautiful state. You know what's sad is I live in Colorado and I didn't hear about the church shooting probably because I refuse to watch the news but still I should have heard something I would have thought
Thanks you brother… that’s what we need
Yes I totally agree!
Thank you Massad. Been following you since the G&A days of 1977. Mindset and tools!
I appreciate that!
A sobering topic for sure. Thank you Mr. Ayoob for this content and thank you Wilson Combat.
I saw a movie in IMAX in 2015 with family and was carrying a Glock 26 in an ankle rig (after reading articles by Mas on ankle carry while sitting a lot). The IMAX theater had a metal detector outside of it with two men using metal detecting wands on movie-goers. I had to take my weapon out to my car trunk. All those precautions IMAX took wouldn't have saved a single life at Aurora because the impotent psychopath went in unarmed and later exited the side to equip himself. All the theater did was create a "hunting preserve for murdering psychopaths." Thanks for the wisdom, Mas.
@@MamasTroll And that IMAX theater never put up metal detectors again. It was completely pointless. Now at least I can carry while going to the movies.
I've taken my gun into IMAX. My son was laughing at the announcement about metal detectors to detect the 3D glasses they didn't want to lose but not detecting my pistol.
I also carry to the regular movie theater and local community theater.
@@dexter726 There were no metal detectors at the theater in Aurora Colorado and the shooter still used the side door. Please make sure you understand the details of the example and the point I'm making before you get emotional and throw out insults. And the other point I'm making is ONLY the IMAX theater I attended had metal detectors. There are over twenty other cinemas in that theater that didn't have metal detectors. Why put up metal detectors at all then? Especially when it prevents responsible armed citizens from trying to protect themselves and each other from psychopathic murderers that water at the mouth at the idea of unarmed victims.
@@dexter726 , you seem to have misunderstood Dusty. There is no need to address people like you did. It doesn't make you look smarter; it makes you look like a jerk.
@@terrymofmich They probably were anti-theft sensors like the ones in supermarkets, rather than actual metal detectors
We Must defend our innocent children in every school. And we Must defend all people of every faith in their house of worship. We Must stop the Evil that surrounds us. ! God help us!
Well said Massad! I never heard about some of the true heroes before. 👍
Thank you for taking the time and for sharing this video Massad.
Glad it was helpful!
Sir, This, is the most calm and level headed approach I've ever heard as to how to deal with these predators.
You changed my mind!
Best Mas video on Wilson Combat channel yet! Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
Assistant principal Joel Myrick stopped the Pearl High School shooting in 97. It's hard to find any mention of him anywhere.
I happened to see it mentioned in Wikipedia of all places.
Lol, your computer is old. You can find a story about Joel at the gas station much less the 1,000’s of articles written about him and his situation that day. He comes up immediately in a google search of “Joel” so yeah, lots and lots and lots of people know who he is.
@@paulrupright4694 Find a video that mentions him. They report the story and leave out who stopped it.
To my utter shame, I can't remember the guy's name. But at one of the terrible school shootings, a coach was among the first to be killed. He too went running towards the cowardly twerp empty handed...trying his best to protect his charges. Crap! I WILL find his name and the location, come back and list it here.
Very little on the subject but he didn’t stop the shooting. The kids car got stuck when he was driving away after the shooting. The vice principal then just detained him until the police arrived.
Thank you Sir for this video. I volunteer as the open carry point man for my Church security team.
It is very needed and you're spot on
Please consider “concealed carry.”
Open carry now paints a target on your head by anyone scouting your place of worship
Remarkable speech and the facts
