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
My niece was at Columbine that day. She can still tell you every name of those killed. She still carries the emotional scars. She also carries a handgun at all times.
That is awesome, She wants to fight instead of run.
Your niece accepted the correct response path after the Columbine tragedy: to strengthen the ability of legally armed preparation rather than irrationally vote for politicians that draft more gun control thus weakening the victims further.
@@Vcafr0 I heard the news but I do not remember one name
Same day NATO dropped a ton of bombs in Bosnia .
God bless your niece.
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.
Infinite respect to you, Sir 🙏❤️
Thank you for your service and thank you for continuing to protect others. More men need to step up to protect their communities. Thank you sir.
Thank you from a father of 4!
Massad Ayoob, keep spreading the truth!.
" 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?
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!!

Thank you, everyone should watch this!
My phone spelled your name wrong, sorry!

Sharing!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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.
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.
Amen brother! There is no room anywhere in this country for gun. Free zones. Thank you for putting this out there.
Truer words were never spoken. THANK YOU SIR!
Thanks for listening
@@gowilsoncombat Is there somewhere that there are links for all of the examples listed for easy reference in a debate?
@@HarrisonGoldfarb just search up the names he mentioned.
@@HarrisonGoldfarb Also he has documented many, many examples in his numerous books and articles in American Handgunner magazine among others.
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.
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.
This video gave me chills
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...
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 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.
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 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!
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.
@@SeudXe 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.
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.
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.
Well done Massad !
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.
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
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.
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
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!
Very emotional topic, those kids should be graduating and those teachers should be in the classrooms and hallways that shape the future
Nailed it.
I very much enjoy Mr. Ayoob's little chats
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.
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...
Massad this message brought tears to my eyes. As a man with three school aged boys who escaped California and moved to the great state of Arkansas. I hope no parent has to endure what the parents did in the places where there was no one prepared to keep them safe. This breaks my heart that such an amazing and free country has to continue to suffer because of ignorance. God bless you sir and thank you for your content.
I generally agree with Massad but I think he is totally wrong here. Most teachers don't want to carry weapons, and we can't(and shouldn't) force people uncomfortable with carrying a weapon, to carry a weapon. Since schools already have armed resource officers and that isn't enough, it is hard to believe that a random teacher here or there who is armed would make a difference. So who exactly are we talking about giving permission to carry guns into school to? The children?
Your videos should be a must see for every person in America. Thank You for your great work in making the Country safer!
Mr.Ayoob i totally agree with you..Are their any books that you have written that i can purchase.pleade respond
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. Meth, heroin and cocaine are illegal everywhere in our country. Why is it constantly being found on people by the police? You think getting guns wouldn't be just as easy for criminals to get like drugs are? You disarm citizens, you won't disarm criminals...
@@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, again thank you. God continue to bless you.
Your intensity is epic. I wish more people could experience your talks. Thank you.
Has anybody *EVER* seen Mas with a “smile” on his face?!?! I seriously laughed out loud when he made that comment at the beginning.🤣
LOL I actually just did last week when we was by us for his MAG 180 class. He's got a very wicked sense of humor. :)
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!
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..
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
Excellent! Thanks for making this. Your passion and conviction come through loud and clear. I remember celebrating when the armed lady took down the shooter as he ran into that church. Reports were she had to jump over and around men on the floor who were cowering in terror, to get a shot at the killer.
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.

I feel truly sorry for you having to live in such a shithole that you have to go to church armed.
I agree 100%

One in the tube. Finger not on trigger Safety
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.
First time I've heard someone bring this up! I have said this is a huge part of mass shooters mindset.
Excellent video as always… nobody says it better than Massad.. even back in the day when he wrote critical mass.
You have zero show, zero ego, just wisdom and stone cold pragmatism. Subscribed.
Mee too.
Subscribed.❤
I feel the same brother. stop gun free zones my a heart hurts for all the children in those situations. thanks brother for getting this video out and all you do.
Awesome presentation; I agree wholeheartedly! Schools not only need the teachers to be trained, but the faculty and staff, and parents with CCWs should also be allowed to freely enter the school as well. Knowing that there are people in the school who are armed and trained is probably one of the greatest deterrents of gun violence; it also encourages manners and etiquette.
I've always said, "An Armed Populace is a Polite Populace". One never knows who one is facing; they might be armed.
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.
Chills down my spine Mas. Very powerful words

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.
...one of your best presentations Mas... Should be required viewing for all school boards....
Indeed
Amen I PRAY this is seen by millions to stop our CHILDREN from being murdered.
Right on !!
I have children and they go to public schools, the idea of training and arming the staff in schools would give them the fighting chance of survival and defeating the assailants. The assurance that there is protection where my children are attending school, puts me at ease. Most important of all, our everyday prayers for God's protection, this is our ultimate protection.
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.
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
Thank you for your common sense. You are so correct. The police can not get to the shooter fast enough.
Hear! Hear! Hear what this wise and eloquent speaker has to say!
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.
@@joshuagarcia7488 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. This is especially true after the government overreach we saw 2020-2022 bc of the corona.
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
My wife is a retired elementary school teacher. After the Sandy Hook massacre, I advised her to keep her classroom door locked and find a safe place to gather her kids should she hear gun fire. I told her that these "" GUN FREE ZONES " are an invitation to deranged psychos. I spoke to a school board member about the this obvious problem. He said the Board had discussed the issue but had not reached any workable plan.. And to this day nothing has changed. Thank you for speaking out.
What a great story of how to protect our children!
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.
@@1234brianatthedoor did you ask yourself _why_ you should have to protect children in schools? 🙄
seeing how many vets are offing themselves each year, not sure they're the solution... 😑
@Lefty003 That's why you'll be the first we feed to China.
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."
Public Safety Officer at a private school here in California, great educational videos Sir, thank you for the importance of safety in society now a days especially in schools and churches and public places overall Thank You again 🇺🇲
God bless you for speaking and shedding light on this matter. Fight fire with fire at this point.
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...
Thank's Mas! I have learned so much from you! I'm an Ohio resident and proud of our FASTER program!
Yes I totally agree!
You are 100% right. The problem is, those who really need to hear this and change their minds, won't listen.
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.
Well said, well researched and well put!
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!
Really appreciate you Mr Ayoob. While not one to go in for "salty" language (doubt you are either when not called for) you words were precisely on point here. A wake up call is way overdue, the tragic examples you raise go back too many years while we as a society do less than nothing. God help us and God bless you sir!
As always, Massad, you always bring home the truth in simple terms. Thank you for your expertise
Much appreciated
I agree 100%. Arm and train all the teachers that are willing.
I have been on 'the other side" for all my life. I am 80 years old now. Thanks to you, Mr. Ayoob, I am now not so sure of my position. I have recently applied for my LTC here in Massachusetts.
Remarkable speech and the facts
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
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.
Thanks, Mas.
Very awesome massad thank you so much very and I thank those that fought back in the face of those horrible shootings and put their lives on the line ❤
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!
Outstanding!
Don't be a victim!
Stay strapped!
Well said. Thank you
Profound wisdom, thank you.
I watched your commentary with tears in my eyes - you are so right - IMAGINE
I SALUTE YOU, SIR! YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE SPOKEN. 100% AGREE.
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
Again, thank you so much!!🙏🙏
Amen, preach it! I completely agree
