Everyone wants to investigate the parents or blame law enforcement after the fact. What and how can we protect our children from this happening in the first place. Cause prayers, condolences and after the fact investigations is not going to bring back any of those people or heal the injured. What are the Republicans and Kemp going to do to stop this from happening again is what we want to know...

But if your opinion is to blame national leaders, then we can blame Comrade Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, Mike Pense, John Boehner and Paul Ryan.

Georgia has been ruled by the Republican party for over two decades and crime and prices has climbed under their rule. And they have no plans to reduce either. But keep your out dated opinions cause it is a free country until Trump/Vance gets into office Comrade.
No one needs an assault rife for home protection or hunting. And you don't need an assault weapon to protect yourself against the U.S. governmen...LOL. Assault weapons with 30 round clips can kill lots more people than the typical rife or pistol.
You can tell by the narrative they will try forcing people to “lock their stuff up.” But people do that already. It’s another game of trying to look like they are solving a problem and not really doing anything because they really can’t game again.
Thanks to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump for being proud of doing nothing on gun control. I'm sure that the people of Georgia are so very proud of you.

When he campaigned for governor of Georgia, Kemp ran on expanding access to firearms. This included a nearly unbelievable ad where the then secretary of state sat with a shotgun in his lap, surrounded by even more guns, while speaking to a young boy about dating one of his daughters. After the Giffords Law Center gave Georgia a failing grade on gun control, , Kemp proudly declared, “I’ll wear this ‘F’ as a badge of honor.”
Kemp is a real piece of work. Wonder why people vote for this? Is this what Georgians really want? Because if you vote for this type of gun policy you probably shouldn’t be whining about the outcome! Wonder how much money Kemp gets from the gun lobby???
Not the firearm...its the people! Where was security in the schools...thats the problem..not enough security! How come they haven't given us any real info on the so called gunman!
Hummm, why doesn’t the NRA come out and say something profound? Add to the garbage politicians say? If my family member doesn’t come home due to one of these senseless events you can bet your thoughts and prayers are just empty meaningless words. No solutions offered, NO NOTHING.
Why do you not use your influence and your power to make this state safer instead of wanting to appease the people who want to keep these guns from being resticted.There are empty prayers and thoughts going out when teachers and students are murdered.If the governor can sleep well after allowing open carry in the state of Georgia,Ithen there is no conscience in him.M.T.G. needs to get her video out of her shooting and blowing up a car.She has always been so proud of that and it's frightening to think that our elected leaders are being complicit in these incidents.Please do something!!!!!At least realize that AR type guns have no place in regular citizens possession.We don't have anything but our votes to get rid of those who don't take our families safety seriously.Wake up people!Wake up elected leaders!
Absolutely NOTHING will improve by trying to enact now laws that restrict a tool. Bottom line, until every single person who creates another human, takes that responsibility seriously, and ACTIVELY PARENTS.. which means being in charge, teaching, interacting, disciplining, and so much more. .. until parents start behaving as parents, the world will continue to devolve.
Also, as a follow up, an Armalite rifle is just one of the most commonly used rifles. It's not that scary if you've ever known a thing about firearms. There's one, or a similar brand, in nearly every household with an outdoorsman/rancher/hunter/farmer & that doesn't include those of us that like plinking at the range too.
Just came here to point out Brian Kemp's lack of effort and intelligence. "Thoughts and prayers" do nothing to help the victims. It's 2024 and there have been hundreds of school shootings, and he gives the most minimalist reaction to the situation showing in full display his carelessness. Respectfully sir, step down so someone, _anyone_ more competent can actually _do something_ . I don't care if it's a Dem or one of your colleagues/constituents. Enough of your talking and empty words. You are being selfish holding this position. Do what's right if you truly have any ethics, morals, and/or integrity.

Hope he gets tried as an adult.. he knew full well what his actions were.. not sure of the reason. Usually, it is bullying. Unfortunately this happens close to an election.. not so surprising.
People aren’t blaming the firearm, sure. However, why does a civilian (the adult) need access to an AR weapon!!!??? There are too many guns in this country, along with too many unstable people (alotttt of unstable people) which is a bad combination. Gun CONTROL is needed and so is mental health access. It is sad that children cannot go to school and feel safe anymore. There needs to be better solutions in order to keep our children safe. Care about them inside the wound and also outside.

Guns have been common in the US for a long time. In fact, it used to be more common for kids to regularly use firearms. Why do you think the relatively recent trend of school shootings is related to guns access?
@@RyanHelbig yes there has been gun for a long time (just like in other countries, but don’t have school shootings like the U.S.). But not as much as there is now (there are more guns in the U.S. than ever before. Gun ownership has increased drastically). Some states you don’t need a license to carry. And more access leads to more homicide. But my question is why does a civilian need access to an AR weapon.????
@@becky2595 the guns laws in a majority of states (especially southern states are being lifted). Many states don’t require a license to carry a conceal. The NRA wanted Florida to get rid of permits period. Some states don’t require background checks. And I don’t get what your statement about criminals means. It’s a confusing statement. People don’t need all these type of guns. Let’s consider the safety of the children, this has seems to become the norm( for school shootings to happen yearly). And the weapon that is always used is a high powered rifle, soooo what is the common denominator here. More children are harmed in this country than any other developed country. Europe, and Canada doesn’t seem to have this problem. America has a problem and the kids are suffering. So sad.
Why does a 14 yr old have a gun but they dont care about that i want to know if he black or white 🤔 funny you dont even know his name god bless the family so sad oh so you already new there was a problem but guess you cant follow up on that before something happen
14-year-old took a machine gun to school and opened fire...2nd amendment was written at a time when mussel loaders were the weapon of choice, rate of fire about 1 per 120 seconds. How times have changed...Does the 2nd amendment cover a 1000 round chain gun?
Machine guns are already very illegal for the public to have, and he didn't have a machine gun. He had a semi-automatic rifle. The 2nd amendment was written when everyone had muzzle loaded guns, today, I'm not allowed to have a machine gun, but criminals have them, our government has them, and the 2nd amendment is to allow the citizens of the United States to be armed to keep the government in line and defend our own lives from foreign and domestic threats.

Military weapon? My son is a Marine and this little dinky AR15 doesn't come anywhere close to what they shoot. Research the gun before you spew your nonsense!
So is Kemp proud of himself for his unrestricted gun laws. What a hypocrite
Schools are Democrat created Gun Free Zones how more restricted can you get? Criminals don not obey laws so even if Georgia or the entire USA was a Gun Free Zone criminals would make them import them and steal them from police as they do in many other nations.
Thank yous? Thoughts and prayers.? Condolences? And and these words spoken by stupid greedy people will be appreciated? BY WHO? The ones laying dead-their parents, siblings, friends. WHO?
no accountability blame the weapon
You don't blame the weapon. Smh
Everyone wants to investigate the parents or blame law enforcement after the fact. What and how can we protect our children from this happening in the first place. Cause prayers, condolences and after the fact investigations is not going to bring back any of those people or heal the injured. What are the Republicans and Kemp going to do to stop this from happening again is what we want to know... This is a failure of the Georgia governments and there needs to be accountability and change, because what they are doing is not stopping the killings and the broken hearts. That is my opinion.
Well you have an opinion. My opinion says blame Biden/ Harris.
call The View for help.
start holding people accountable. responsible gun owners will be more strict with who they let use their guns.
@@memyselfeyetallent7149 90% of laws and solutions are local government not national. But if your opinion is to blame national leaders, then we can blame Comrade Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, Mike Pense, John Boehner and Paul Ryan. All were in power at the same time and could have done something and chose not too. Georgia has been ruled by the Republican party for over two decades and crime and prices has climbed under their rule. And they have no plans to reduce either. But keep your out dated opinions cause it is a free country until Trump/Vance gets into office Comrade.
We must begin to investigate the CIA/FBI on these crimes

No one needs an assault rife for home protection or hunting. And you don't need an assault weapon to protect yourself against the U.S. governmen...LOL. Assault weapons with 30 round clips can kill lots more people than the typical rife or pistol.
We have a people problem, not a gun problem.
Can tell the elections are getting closer
You can tell by the narrative they will try forcing people to “lock their stuff up.” But people do that already. It’s another game of trying to look like they are solving a problem and not really doing anything because they really can’t game again.

Thanks to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump for being proud of doing nothing on gun control. I'm sure that the people of Georgia are so very proud of you.
dems have had control of all 3 major branches the last 4 years. did they prevent this? no? didn't think so. It's all a scam if you think either party would like to stop the money flow
Don't forget the FBI who investigated a year ago!
Biden/Harris fault
@@miguellogistics984 FBI did their job, a great job actually. The FBI turned over the evidence to the state and local government to investigate further. Ultimately, I'm sure you would have been the one barking the loudest if the FBI went into a home where a kid made threats, and the FBI took all the guns out of the home.
It's not the firearm but the people...why don't they add better security at schools that's the problem! WAKE UP!
🙏🙏🙏
The FBI knew about this kid since last year. What does the FBI do besides sit around and wait for this incident happen instead of preventing it?
Really?...you have a source on that ...mk ultra kid,etc,
What did they know about him?
The information was turned over to the local authorities and it was their investigation and conclusion for no further action!
@joyrivers1047 last year he had posted online about hurting people & the FBI spoke to him/parents.
The school was notified of a threat earlier in the morning and did nada as well.
Kemp just passed the open carry anywhere. Bloods on your hands, Brian.
Open carry is great...not about that.... Preserve the 2A!
Parents suck
The kid was an early teen?? How does open carry apply to this? It’s the parents fault for not locking them up. Open carry does not apply to Schools, theaters, or Gov property anyway.
@@HoooooahLibs don't have logic, and they don't know gun laws. This has nothing to do with open carry.

Let me guess, another round of "🗣Thoughts and prayers 🔥." Bc they've just been so effective, right.
Nobody is thinking and praying before these incidents. Our leaders are thinking about their next trip to Cancun and which of our civil rights they can bargain away in the next election. It’s no wonder the youth are perpetually distraught.
@7heRedBaron I can def agree that our gov has sucked and this shooting thing will probably be an issue for the foreseeable future given complete lack of action though :( But it's looking like at least some change is possible given the upcoming election and recent strides to stop tolerating certain bs.
@@nero1873Politicians don’t want crime to go away. They love passing do nothing laws named after dead kids. They love getting in front of cameras and getting angry about tragedies. They want everyone in perpetual terror of everything. Then they pack up to Cancun on the private jet of some sketchy billionaire backer. And not one of us knows what they are really about.
The anger in the younger generation is outrageous and there looking to judge the generation ahead of them, for having a loud the country to fall apart..
Rightfully so.
When he campaigned for governor of Georgia, Kemp ran on expanding access to firearms. This included a nearly unbelievable ad where the then secretary of state sat with a shotgun in his lap, surrounded by even more guns, while speaking to a young boy about dating one of his daughters.
After the Giffords Law Center gave Georgia a failing grade on gun control, , Kemp proudly declared, “I’ll wear this ‘F’ as a badge of honor.”
Kemp is a real piece of work. Wonder why people vote for this? Is this what Georgians really want? Because if you vote for this type of gun policy you probably shouldn’t be whining about the outcome! Wonder how much money Kemp gets from the gun lobby???
This has nothing to do with Kemp or the gun.
This is on you Kemp
Bidens/Harris fault
On your side? Is there really a side...
They will call the victims liars to cover their incompetence. We will find out that they could have done more to protect the school.
Brian Kemp what a Bullcrap
So at what point will RUclips eliminate the preliminary paid commercials on vital news such as this?
Not the firearm...its the people! Where was security in the schools...thats the problem..not enough security! How come they haven't given us any real info on the so called gunman!
it all goes to administrator's salaries
SOMEONE ASKING ABOUT SAFETY AND THIS MAYOR SAYS TODAY IS NOT ABOUT POLITICS?! NO KIDDING AND NO ONE ASKED YOU ABOUT POLITICS SIR!
what are you going to do about it!!
😢so very sad. Love and prayers to those families that lost a loved one. I can’t imagine your grief. God bless you!
Y'all gotta think of a new line. "Thoughts and prayers" just doesn't resonate anymore.
Nobody is trying to resonate with you.
I’m always amazed when people who normally speak in two and three syllable words say condolences.
Hummm, why doesn’t the NRA come out and say something profound? Add to the garbage politicians say? If my family member doesn’t come home due to one of these senseless events you can bet your thoughts and prayers are just empty meaningless words. No solutions offered, NO NOTHING.
Why do you not use your influence and your power to make this state safer instead of wanting to appease the people who want to keep these guns from being resticted.There are empty prayers and thoughts going out when teachers and students are murdered.If the governor can sleep well after allowing open carry in the state of Georgia,Ithen there is no conscience in him.M.T.G. needs to get her video out of her shooting and blowing up a car.She has always been so proud of that and it's frightening to think that our elected leaders are being complicit in these incidents.Please do something!!!!!At least realize that AR type guns have no place in regular citizens possession.We don't have anything but our votes to get rid of those who don't take our families safety seriously.Wake up people!Wake up elected leaders!
Absolutely NOTHING will improve by trying to enact now laws that restrict a tool. Bottom line, until every single person who creates another human, takes that responsibility seriously, and ACTIVELY PARENTS.. which means being in charge, teaching, interacting, disciplining, and so much more. .. until parents start behaving as parents, the world will continue to devolve.
Also, as a follow up, an Armalite rifle is just one of the most commonly used rifles. It's not that scary if you've ever known a thing about firearms. There's one, or a similar brand, in nearly every household with an outdoorsman/rancher/hunter/farmer & that doesn't include those of us that like plinking at the range too.
Just came here to point out Brian Kemp's lack of effort and intelligence. "Thoughts and prayers" do nothing to help the victims. It's 2024 and there have been hundreds of school shootings, and he gives the most minimalist reaction to the situation showing in full display his carelessness. Respectfully sir, step down so someone, _anyone_ more competent can actually _do something_ . I don't care if it's a Dem or one of your colleagues/constituents. Enough of your talking and empty words. You are being selfish holding this position. Do what's right if you truly have any ethics, morals, and/or integrity.
15:36 the G.O.P does not want to help the situation. Good Ole thoughts and prayers.

An armed teacher could have prevented this. One cop is not enough. Schools routinely have 2000 plus students this the size of a small town.

Hope he gets tried as an adult.. he knew full well what his actions were.. not sure of the reason. Usually, it is bullying. Unfortunately this happens close to an election.. not so surprising.
Why is the CIA picking your state Kemp?
People aren’t blaming the firearm, sure. However, why does a civilian (the adult) need access to an AR weapon!!!??? There are too many guns in this country, along with too many unstable people (alotttt of unstable people) which is a bad combination. Gun CONTROL is needed and so is mental health access.
It is sad that children cannot go to school and feel safe anymore. There needs to be better solutions in order to keep our children safe. Care about them inside the wound and also outside.
We have a plethora of gun laws. They would only affect criminals and don't affect criminals when not enforced.

Guns have been common in the US for a long time. In fact, it used to be more common for kids to regularly use firearms. Why do you think the relatively recent trend of school shootings is related to guns access?
@@RyanHelbig yes there has been gun for a long time (just like in other countries, but don’t have school shootings like the U.S.). But not as much as there is now (there are more guns in the U.S. than ever before. Gun ownership has increased drastically). Some states you don’t need a license to carry. And more access leads to more homicide. But my question is why does a civilian need access to an AR weapon.????
@@becky2595 the guns laws in a majority of states (especially southern states are being lifted). Many states don’t require a license to carry a conceal. The NRA wanted Florida to get rid of permits period. Some states don’t require background checks.
And I don’t get what your statement about criminals means. It’s a confusing statement. People don’t need all these type of guns.
Let’s consider the safety of the children, this has seems to become the norm( for school shootings to happen yearly). And the weapon that is always used is a high powered rifle, soooo what is the common denominator here. More children are harmed in this country than any other developed country. Europe, and Canada doesn’t seem to have this problem. America has a problem and the kids are suffering. So sad.
Why does a 14 yr old have a gun but they dont care about that i want to know if he black or white 🤔 funny you dont even know his name god bless the family so sad oh so you already new there was a problem but guess you cant follow up on that before something happen

14-year-old took a machine gun to school and opened fire...2nd amendment was written at a time when mussel loaders were the weapon of choice, rate of fire about 1 per 120 seconds. How times have changed...Does the 2nd amendment cover a 1000 round chain gun?
There was no internet in 1776 either.
Machine guns are already very illegal for the public to have, and he didn't have a machine gun. He had a semi-automatic rifle. The 2nd amendment was written when everyone had muzzle loaded guns, today, I'm not allowed to have a machine gun, but criminals have them, our government has them, and the 2nd amendment is to allow the citizens of the United States to be armed to keep the government in line and defend our own lives from foreign and domestic threats.

All those Georgia recounts showed Biden won. Facts are facts, and the Gov was honest with those facts. Unfortunately, Trump is the one that lies about elections he loses.

With that logic, the government will be prosecuting the maker of any item used as a weapon.
