- President Biden says gun violence in the US is an “epidemic” and an “international embarrassment”. So what’s he trying to do about it? And are more gun laws the answer? #AJStartHere with @sandragathmann explains.

Punishing the law abiding citizens for what criminals do is ineffective and wrong!
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”
― Karl Marx
NO! START HERE!
* Get your facts CORRECT!
* STOP calling the conscious decisions of homicidal and suicidal people "gun violence"!
* 2:20 "In the 1930's they banned machine guns in response to gangs" WRONG! The national firearms act of 1934 only implemented a registry, and a $200 tax. What you would call a ban on machine guns didn't come until 1986 with the Hughes Amendment. This banned the registration of new machine gun after the enactment date of May 1986. Still to this day, lawful Americans living in 38 states can own machine gun made prior to 1986.
*2:37 " In the 90s, President Clinton's crime bill introduced a federal ban on assault weapons" WRONG AGAIN! The 1994 Assault Weapons ban only restricted certain features (flash hiders, bayonet lugs, collapsible stocks) none of which has any effect on how the gun functions. Gun manufactures simply offered the same firearms without these banned features. Magazines over 10rds were still available, just at a premium price!
No matter how you spin it, support for more gun regulations after the civil unrest, lock downs, a threat of de funding police, is in a free fall. Especially with Biden's failed withdraw from Afghanistan leaving US military weapons in the hands of Taliban Terrorist who are already using those weapon on their own people who helped Americans, and who do not conform to Sharia law.
Well said sir.
Repeal the Hughes Amendment and the NFA🇺🇸
6:33 that say that "In the states where you dont need a permit, you don't need a background check." THIS IS WHOLLY AND COMPLETELY FALSE.
"The 1994 Assault Weapons ban only restricted certain features (flash hiders, bayonet lugs, collapsible stocks) none of which has any effect on how the gun functions. Gun manufactures simply offered the same firearms without these banned features. Magazines over 10rds were still available, just at a premium price!" ~~~~ Not exactly true, it also prohibited the manufacture, import and sale of certain semi-automatic firearms, meaning it warrants the name "Assault Weapons ban". Indeed it also banned some of the certain features and parts you've mentioned but many of those parts were banned because they came attached to "problem" weapons. That some of these guns continued to be sold with a modified design was merely a loophole, and a criticism of the effectiveness of the law rather than it's intention.
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
The next time any anti gunner tells you we need gun control, remind them of how the Democrats just armed the Taliban terror group with thousands of military rifles and equipment.

This is such nonsense. Private ownership of guns should be banned, or so strongly controlled that there are almost none about.
What about the freedom to walk about without fear of gun crime? What about not having to teach little children in school what to do if a shooter enters the school, or to run in a zigzag if fleeing a gunman?
Other countries have democracy and freedom - and NO GUNS. In the UK even the regular police aren't armed.

Also one base most if not all their decisions on logic, data, statistics, and the fact is a constitutional right. The other base their decisions on emotions and feelings.

Yeahhhhhh, more laws and regulations, just like drugs right? I mean, how is it possible to get something highly highly illegal into highly highly secured places, like prisons? If gun laws worked, Chicago has be the safest place in the world! People, practice your 2a right and arm yourself, keep in mind the average police response time is 10 min. That's a long time to wait for help if you're unarmed!
Gun laws work just fine in Europe where I live. It is completely incomparable to drugs, which can be easily grown/manufactured and cause their users to become physically addicted to them. Plus drugs do not physically harm those around the individual, only potentially the user. Gun laws in Chicago are pointless if you can drive 20 min and buy a gun.
@@zenegg99 ok, let's do this Barney style. Where in Europe does the UNITED STATES Constitution reside?? Clearly you have no idea how easy it is to make a firearm, I own a few myself. Sure, Europe has no guns, but you have explosions that kill little girls at concerts, trucks plowing through crowds, acid attacks, and knife attacks. But hey! No guns, right? Just a population that can't defend themselves, bravo! That's what you call shooting fish inside a barrel. I just want you to re-read your very least sentence and think about it again. Oh, btw, drugs are victimless crimes unless a strung out desperate junkie doesn't rob or kill you. Please keep your simple mind and flaws logic far away from my country.
Also, the drug comparison is to highlight how the govt fails when it comes to regulating anything. Highly regulated items, hard drugs some how finds their way into jails. Somehow you look to the govt for more regulations, makes sense.
@@zenegg99 You MUST be ON DRUGS to believe that the friends, family, and neighbors of drug addicts are NOT affected by their drug use! MASSIVE violence has been DIRECTLY LINKED to drug use in EVERY European nation, and that includes both within the EU and outside the EU, so how about you get HONEST with the issue (ie drugs) and then apply that honesty to the gun issue!
Further, violent assaults in GB are greater in London that pre-Wuhan virus New York City (before bail was done away with and they let loose the prison populations there). Knife deaths in Europe are MUCH higher than in the USA (because here potential victims can defend themselves with guns).

This is my opinion, America is a place that tries to look at itself on paper, it has faults at both on the level of government and it's people. It's a country that can see a mental ill man with an automatic rifle is a bad idea, but would then immediately turn to argue over who's the bigger, smarter man, who then in turn forgets about the man in question as he walks into his local Walmart to "kill the sinners the voices told him to." America had ADHD and even though it has big ideas with major power backing it, drops it because Iraq found more oil.

@@aolvaar8792 Yea, back in the days when there was no regular army and in case of war you just ordered ordinary citizens to defend the country with their own arms. But given the extreme defense budget of the USA these days, it is pretty clear that a citizen militia is no longer needed for the defense of the country. The Vermont constitution at least gives a second reason for people to bear arms (other than having to be able to take part in a militia), the right to defend themselves. The US constitution doesn't include that however.
The extremes of universal gun confiscation and rescinding all firearms laws are both irrational and unworkable. For better or worse, the proliferation of firearms in the US indicate a ship that has sailed long ago. Only responsible citizens abide by current gun laws. Violent criminals ignore them. Disarming responsible citizens is a dream scenario for sociopathic thugs or authoritarian governments. That said, more effective methods of tracking guns used in violent crimes goes to the heart of why many good people choose to own firearms in the first place.

Okay, that's better, it makes sense now. It's wrong, CDC doesn't say that at all, but at least it's readable.
Also over 60% of total gun deaths are suicides. Yet they include suicides in "gun violence" violence meaning against another person. Suicide is not a crime. Of course they want to bloat the numbers up...
@@ratofvengence More context:
>200,000 rapes and sexual assaults are prevented each year by guns. If you look up the source they cite in the Northwestern law review (URL BLOCKED BY RUclips) (citing tables 2-3 in particular), the numbers check out: If 2.6 million incidents involve the defensive use of a gun and 8.3% of those incidents involve rape or sexual assault (as table 3 lists), then the math checks out--that's just over 200,000 incidents of rape or sexual assault prevented by gun use.
&
The VAST majority of firearms related homicides are with illegal handguns (88.3% from Obama's CDC study, 93% from the ATF, and 94% from the Crime Prevention Research Center) and not by legal handguns or rifles. These crimes are not effected by changes in legislation; old or new.
@@ratofvengence People use guns to defend themselves and property 500k to 3 million times per year. You dont have to kill someone ususlly, just the threat of force can save you.

You guys fail to mention that the majority of gun deaths in the u.s are gang related or self defense. The amount of innocent people being killed by a gun is extremely small
Actually, even worse. Most are suicides. Next are people killed by police. Followed by gang violence. Then there’s self defense shootings. And if you look in the tiny corner at the bottom of the graph.. (break out your magnifying glass for this one), you’ll see random mass shootings. We don’t have a gun problem, we have a mental health problem. The gun is just the easiest way. Take them away and suicidal people will suffer. Want to cut the deaths in half? Offer people good mental healthcare without the stigma or long lasting effects from a bad temporary mindset.
japan has 0 guns and 0 gun deaths....
yet suicide is the leading cause of death in people 20-44 years of age. not to mention the loads of missing people that just seem to vanish. Suicide is not an issue of having the wrong gun laws. gun control is complete non sense.

We now have a pretty good idea of their plan. They want police de-funded and the guns removed. They want a crime wave to rip across America and they do not want the criminals stopped during the crime wave. If you have two brain cells to rub together you can see the writing on the wall.
Watch Texas carefully as crime rates come DOWN once 50% of the population is carrying a weapon. IT WILL BE TOUGH to get away with a mass shooting when 50% of the people are carrying a weapon. We need to reach "HEARD PROTECTION" as Dr. Fauci would call it. Once 50% of the Texas people are "PACKING HEAT" there will be no more mass shootings. You would have to be crazy to try it.

Half are suicide. There are 40k car deaths a year. If there is a gun death problem there is an equally bad mental heath problem, and then an even greater car death problem.

Way I see it, the only people who seriously want stricter gun laws & regulation are:
•People who don't own guns/haven't tried buying one/Have never fired a gun (People who don't know guns; or quite plainly "ignorants")
•People who don't embrace the American culture/identity enough and are pansies afraid of weapons and can't stand the sight of a person having one, despite it being their right
•Tyrants who do not believe you have the right to defend yourself, even if the opposite is what comes out of their mouth, specially when it's something like "I believe you have the right to defend yourself *but...*", you either do or you don't -- if you don't then you don't take effective and efficient self defense seriously enough to understand that one should arm themselves with as much strength as it is available to them to deter their would be assailants, and if you do then you simply recognize I can defend myself with any means available to me

The gun is just a piece of metal (mostly). If left untouched it will do nothing and turns into dust in ten thousand years. A gun needs to be loaded, chambered and fired, all of those activities require a person. Depending on the circumstances when a gun is fired, it could be a good thing (self defense, hunting to feed your family etc.) or it could be a bad thing. Don't blame the gun, blame the people who use it to do bad things.
@sneksnekitsasnek Guns have many useful purposes: Hunting to feed one's family, defending one's country etc. Guns are just objects. They can't load, chamber a round or pull the trigger by themselves.

@sneksnekitsasnek I’m willing to bet you don’t know half of the federal gun laws in this country. You can literally get 10 years in federal prison for putting a foregrip on a pistol…. Too many gun laws
@sneksnekitsasnek good luck, buttercup.
@sneksnekitsasnek give what time? Be our huckleberry.
They kind of framed the Texas vs. Mass thing weirdly RIGHT after bringing up federal gun laws. Pointing out in Mass you need a permit approved by the police, and a background check but in Texas they just passed constitutional carry. Well because of federal laws you still need to get a background check if you buy a gun in a gun store in Texas, and in Massachusetts if you do a private sale you would not need to have a background check run... I do not want to say the purposely framed it to make it seem like Texas does not need background checks but that is the way it comes off.
Yeah, idk. I think that was on purpose.
Yes, they effectively lied through obfuscation.
How many of those gun dead’s are suicides more than 65%
Having the freedom to carry a gun all right just because you don't have to have a permit you still have to have a background check to buy the gun and they know this
It's not about the tool of violence, its the man and mind that wields it that's the problem.

There are 2 types of people. Those that view guns as tools to protect their family &their right to life & happiness form cruds. They feel protected & secure because they own a firearm. And people that view guns as weapons used to attach them. They feel threatened by other people owing guns. “judicious” laws to control & regulate guns so “threatening” cruds won’t have them.
they can't even fathom a decent person owning one, or 16 in my case .
I was thinking the same thing. But my way of feeling protected doesnt infringe on the rights of everyone else, my way of feeling safe doesnt criminalize millions of people and primarly used to arrest people who have had absolutely no intent of harming anyone. I think thats the difference the anti gunners need to understand, along with the fact their are coming from a place of complete ignorance and they should seek enlightenment. But i feel our media and government is mainly responsible for how these people feel i dont blame them, there has been so much disinformation and propaganda put out. most poeple are still under the impression that you dont need a background check to buy a gun and that automatic weapons and machine guns can be purchased the same way as any other gun. When ever they push this propaganda you see all americans move quickly to pass laws to protect these rights and more people buying guns.

the fact that Ted Cruz labeled mental health as de facto "bad guys" and ppl that should be "put in jail" is beyond me
Yeah, it's a bit surreal from my perspective in this world. In theory there's a concept of gun rights in this nation, but as someone with mental illness, that has never been directly relevant to me in any way. I think what hit me a lot harder than that, among his comments though, was his use of the word 'scapegoat'. I've spent my entire life as a scapegoat for crimes I've never committed or even contributed to. I'm fairly libertarian in disposition, so I naturally lean more toward fewer regulations than more, but the fact is that people who claim to support 'gun rights' focus much of their energy turning people like me into boogeymen, and I'm just so done with it.
The first modern mass school shooting followed the destruction of the mental asylum system by the advocates of the deinstitutionalization movement.
Despite the fact that you could order machine guns, explosive devices, and even cannons delivered to your home through the U.S. mail; these mass shootings did not become a common thing until after the deinstitutionalization campaign destroyed the US mental health care hospital and asylum system.
In the video he clearly said fugitives with mental disease, meaning criminals with mental disease which are the ones who are shooting up schools and grocery stores. He is not wrong. This video is made to entirely discredit those who oppose strict gun laws. The clip even contains some of the context. Maybe you should've realized what he was saying before writing the comment.

6:35 She claims that you don't need a background check. This is not true. To purchase a gun from any dealer you must have a background check. If you purchase a gun from a private party and you are a felon, that is illegal.

We now have a pretty good idea of their plan. They want police de-funded and the guns removed. They want a crime wave to rip across America and they do not want the criminals stopped during the crime wave. If you have two brain cells to rub together you can see the writing on the wall.
Watch Texas carefully as crime rates come DOWN once 50% of the population is carrying a weapon. IT WILL BE TOUGH to get away with a mass shooting when 50% of the people are carrying a weapon. We need to reach "HEARD PROTECTION" as Dr. Fauci would call it. Once 50% of the Texas people are "PACKING HEAT" there will be no more mass shootings. You would have to be crazy to try it.

You have to look at violence not just gun violence. Some people will murder people with blunt objects, knives, and anything you can imagine. In the marines we learned of weapons of opportunity meaning you can use many objects around you to kill somebody if you have to. If you did manage to get rid of guns all you would do is disarm the victims who are physically weaker than their attackers. To limit violence you need to look at root cause, most gun violence is gang violence and most gang violence is socioeconomic. I think we have an issue of toting the party line too much in this country. I am for gun rights but also realize not everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps, some don’t even have boot straps so social programs are needed. I think many who support gun rights need to realize that people born in a disadvantaged environment need to be helped and are incapable of overcoming the barriers they were born into. Many jobs that pay well require education, and if you can’t afford that education you are locked into low paying jobs. Given that many choose to sell drugs and since that is an illegal activity they can’t litigate problems so they turn to violence. This isn’t about equal results, it’s about making the starting line equal, it’s not socialism to give everyone a fair chance at the start. Most gun violence is committed by poor people, middle class people don’t commit gun violence.
Humans are both the sharpest tool in the shed, and also a missing tool. We’ll never get it right.

Guns are not the problem, the fact that murderers have been released from prison after a few years is the problem. Life in prison for armed robbery or assault might be a deterrent for using a gun to commit a crime. There's people who've done less time in prison for murder then drug possession. Guns are not the problem, getting a slap on the hand if you use one to commit a crime is.

Why do all these people have armed security guards.
I appreciate the attempt to appear to argue both sides of the debate on guns, but this video has just too many lies about guns, gun laws, and gun owners. These lies are repeated over and over until many anti-gun and/or left-wing people probably believe them. Yes, we need to work on violence in this country (NOT gun violence, but violence). None of the suggestions that Biden has proposed will do anything to stop the violence.
Take this for example: if 25% of the cars on the road are Toyotas, which cars do you think are going to be involved in a large number of crashes? Toyotas, of course, because they're heavily in use. Such it is with AR-15's, the most common rifle in the United States (except for possibly common .22 rifles). Simply put, it's not specific guns that are causing the incidents, but that the incidents involve the most common gun available.
If you ban people from buying Toyotas, it's not going to stop car crashes--people will just buy different cars. Such is it with the AR-15. It's not rocket science.
What about other democratic developed countries where no civilians can use guns and there are significantly fewer crime rates and substantially lower murders occur than the USA. The fact is that gun is the easiest way to kill someone. So if there are a lot of guns there are more crimes and murders. No gun no killing, no death. Only police can have guns, not a man who is going to kill somebody for no reason.
