Wait?!! You can mail in a gun application in Florida but they don't want you to mail in a ballot to vote? Yeah, tell me what's not wrong with this.
Republican shrills.
And best part it’s that you don’t even have to live there LOL
Floridiots
Yes. Isn't that NOT logical. In Texas you can use a gun permit to get a voting ballot, but you can't use your student ID.
It's perfectly logical for those who don't want a republic with citizens, but do want an empire with subjects.
30-50 fully armed police officers, swat, border patrol, etc. geared to the hilt (literally), full body armor, tactical etc. can't/aren't willing/able to combat a single gunman w/ rifle, but sure, a gradeschool teacher w/ a holstered pistol will be able to no problem.
They're there to stop the parents from entering the building, as they hear their kids being shot to death for an hour.
That bad faith argument is so absurd! Just shows you how little Republicans care about people's lives, especially little children.
To be fair in some cases that would be true. I mean Those cops were standing around for nearly an hour while two teachers died (likely trying to help). So I rather have a well trained teacher who cares about the students, than a cop who's standing around outside with his months or years of training doing nothing...
@@captainsewerrat Nice idea, but the logic is flawed. Who is this "well trained teacher" you speak of? How is this teacher supposed to become well trained in target practice? These wonderful teachers who care so much about their students are already working around the clock creating lesson plans and grading assignments--when do you suppose they're going to get hundreds of hours of gun training on top of that? I suppose some few might want to do that, but it's a bit far-fetched to think that every school in the country is going to have even one such teacher.
@@captainsewerrat The thing is that is not how police operate. They are not allowed to just charge in and start shooting.
edit: Unless they have a no knock warrant.
“I’m one of the co-authors of the report” always gets me 🤣
"I'm not sure thats how math works"
says the guy whose business depends on the outcome of the report ........
@@stephnejele7830 I don't think it''s a business
"From a gun idiot to an idiot with a gun" !! 😂😂😂
nothing more reassuring than having an ARMED, UNDERPAID, and STRESSED teacher in the same classroom as your child.
And where are the teachers supposed to keep the guns so the kids can't get to them? If I were a parent, I wouldn't want my kid to be in a classroom where the teacher may or may not have stored the gun safely. Plus, if it's stored in a way that keeps it safe from kids, wouldn't it take too long to get the gun out in an active shooter situation?
Not to mention they accidentally leave their gun unattended and a curious little kid going off on a shooting rampage. Oh the humanity! Even after Cheney accidentally shot his buddy on a hunting trip I wonder how some people don’t learn anything from it!
@@lisagd22 This could easily be a regular duty of police officers
@@jaxjax2011 I don't get what you're saying. What could be a regular duty?
@@lisagd22 inspecting schools to ensure that weapons are stored safely and not accesible to kids.
So in summary, an 18 year old who only had his Assault rifles for a week had 30 fully trained police officers with literally decades of training on their knees and cowering in fear
They are therefore clearly are bad guys
You got that right!
Doesn't make any sense why a small police department has no shields of their own, not much people to equip
when poo poo became pu pu, tax money wasted
@@strawdemindset doesn't make sense why assault weapons are sold at all in this country
It’s sad when you hear that even the guys that are trained to protect us still don’t believe that there is ever going to be any change in our lifetime. 😞 😔
@DUNCOUP Citation needed.
Sad but true bro. There won't be any change because half the nation supports guns. Just like there won't be an abortion ban because half the nation supports abortion. Our country is so divided.
@@chriswright1627 mexico
There won't be. No other country has gun rights in their constitution. We are the only ones. They can't take our guns and criminals will be criminals. It's a mental health issue not a gun issue.
It is not the job of the police to protect you. Their job is to enforce the law. Protection is up to each individual. Federal laws protect police and do not require them to protect you. America has been brain wash about the duties of police. POLICE ARE NOT REQUIRE YOU PROTECT YOU. THAT IS NOT THEIR JOB.
I love how the instructor says leave it to those who dedicate their lives to protecting people even though by law, the authorities have absolutely no obligation to protect you, which is why the Uvalde police are going to get off without even a slap on the wrist. Just a failed rescue attempt in the law's eyes.
"the authorities have absolutely no obligation to protect you"
Absolutely correct. Their mandate is to protect the population, "We serve the people of (insert wherever)" is a common mission statement or theme under the whatever county sheriff/highway patrol/etc. names. When have you ever seen "We serve YOU"? Exactly never, in my case.
There are several types of situations I can think of where their concern for any INDIVIDUAL citizen could be quite low, and SHOULD be, like the situation where someone is spraying bullets all around in a room full of people. The ONLY action that makes any sense there is to stop him as quickly as possible, because even though the rescuer might shoot somebody trying to do that, he will save MANY lives by taking that shooter out of commission. They would have concern for everyone else, and do their best not to hurt anyone, but that is not, and should not be their primary goal right then. NOTHING is black and white, absolutely nothing, no moral questions anyway.
All police get a mandatory 3 oopsies I failed, sorry you're dead. After 4 they get promoted so they are no longer a threat.
Whether it's an oath they take or not, anyone who would STAND THERE while kids are being shot to death should hand in his badge.
@@GailColeman so whos fault is it..
Guess they did their jobs. It's a feature of our system working correctly.
High powered military gear, no responsibility or accountability.
If that's a problem, most of the world thinks it's madness too....
It's one thing to learn how to pull a trigger, but a completely different set of skills to handle a real-life high stress panic situation.
that's why you are urged by any trainer to have additional training for just those situations...just because idiots don't further educate themselves does not mean punish the one's who take it seriously and do further their understanding of firearms and how to properly use them
And 95% of people freeze up, even in the military. I’d trust a desperate teacher in the school over the police across town!
@C C that's so far off it isn't funny 😅...unless you're a gun owner yourself and part of that community you know a hilariously miniscule amount of gun owners to even be qualified to make a statement like that 😤 Let's be REALLY real
Anyone can shoot at paper and get it right... paper it´s not shooting you back.. paper it´s not holding hostages... but I guess most important, paper it´s not another human being you´re going to put down....
@@carlosbovia6813 Which was the point of Kleppers piece. He wasn't trying to offer solutions for the entire spectrum of gun legislation issues.
The irony is Kepler probably had more training then most gun owners-- statistically, only 13% go to a gun range "often."
I avoid gun ranges. They're full of gun nuts. Plenty of places in the desert to target practice.
@Dot King Same. Army veteran as well. I've been properly trained. I own many guns. But identifying and neutralizing targets among civilians is a nightmare. You are responsible for every bullet that leaves your weapon. A lot of these LARPers may know how to aim and shoot, but how many know how to do that while being shot at? It's a game changer.
@Dot King Well aren't you special?
I think that anyone who wants a Gun should go through extensive background checks, mental health test and then should require to take gun lessons on gun safety and take gun range aiming training.. How hard is that to do America??
@@kenrickeason that OR, no guns at all. NO ONE HAS ANY GUNS!!
I'm a veteran and former law enforcement and I can tell you know that if you do not have the training you will hesitate to shoot another human being. Even if you are trained to handle situations it has severe psychological damage. Because no decent human wants to harm another human.
Yup. I'd really rather not have to use the weapon.
Do you have a CAB? have you ever fired your weapon because you had to? Not because you want to? there is a difference.
Humans are harming each other all the time. Animals tend not do that, aside from perhaps mating, but even then rarely fatally.
And that training is available to anybody that wants to take it. Correct? Most gun enthusiasts actually spend more time at the range honing their skill than cops do and you know that’s a fact.
@@Jkur2009 uh yeah but theyre not shooting people lol
Lol imagine to qualify as a teacher, you need to take a gun handling course. And to remain qualified as a teacher you are routinely tested for reaction to an assailant entering classroom while you concentrate on giving a lesson.
Imagine if all schools were private and people made their own decisions what the teachers do at the school they pay for and you minded your own business.
@@SwedishBlouse Imagine if poor people couldn't go to school, amiright?
@@Matt-lt2qs Who's problem is that? Not for the government to violently extort people's money, unwillingly from them, to fund poor people going to school. They will have to depend on voluntary charity and funding.
Maybe just start with the teachers that are already trained and allow them to carry if they choose to. Maybe allow parents that are trained, licensed and vetted carry into the school if they choose. Just a start. I agree no teacher should be forced to carry out train
That is sheer lunacy! What kind of emotional damage would kids in that kind of environment develop????
Having a fully equipped school scenario as a training facility tells a lot about the situation in the US.
It was a school that had been shut down so it wasn't "fully equipped". But I get the gist of what you were implying.
Ever seen the situation in Mexico?
@@jackwitman8504 who's talking about Mexico? stop deflecting. There's too many nut jobs with firearms in the USA.
@@jackwitman8504 mexico doesnt boast being the greatest country on earth, the US does.
' tells a lot about the situation in the US.' Yes, it does. It tells you that morons trumpet schools as 'gun free zones' repeatedly along with a few other places, so bad guys know where to go.
Jordan debunking people’s flawed logic is everything
Jordan's logic Is to trust the cops who stood outside a school shooting for 40 minutes.
What did Jordan debunk?
@@dr.wolfstar1765 Have you actually watched it? He does not mention that. His logic is to have lesser guns so bad guys cant get a gun so easily.
ruclips.net/video/pg9sF0CTLCE/видео.html finally it's here.
@@jbosmanx2 Except that probably wouldn't happen
He didn't debunk anything
“Are rounds bullets”? Hahaha that was the best response ever
"gun idiot to idiot with a gun" - hilarious
Man those trainers looked so defeated when he brought up the idea of gun control.
I have to wonder whether it was frustration over the nearly impossible gun violence issue or if they were just saddened by thenot being able to play grown-up cops and robbers anymore.
@@567dirt8910 I feel like it's the former, I can't imagine being disappointed because I'm less likely to die on the job from gun violence.
@@567dirt8910
I think we have to ask why this is happening, Americans have had lots of guns for as long as America has been a thing, but columbine wasn’t until 1997.
@@allthenewsordeath5772 Yeah but school shootings have been happening in this country since the 1840's (I think there is one on record from the late 1700's even). Columbine is just the one everyone now remembers (along with Sandy Hook, Parkland and the dozens and dozens of others since) as being the starting point, I guess. But it is true in the late 80s and into the 90s the amount of gun violence and specifically school related gun violence went up dramatically.
Columbine also took place in the middle of the assault weapons ban. Unfortunately even if I did agree with gun control, the only way you could make america look like Europe in terms of gun control would be to start a civil war.
"I don't think that's gonna happen in our lifetime." I laughed, and then I cried a little on the inside.
You could hear his disappointment in his voice...
Luckily I do not live in the states, but in Switzerland. We do also have a shitton of weapons here (nothing compared to the US though). But at least ammo is forbidden to have at home, unless you are a hunter or Police. (And yep, military people have their weapons at home, but not the ammo for it!)
murica
The money spent on the specail doors that lock on that scool went to complete waste as the teachers kept the door proped open and the classroom unlocked. They were installed by the govt to prevent this from happening, but the school thought it wont happen there. The school was the first line of defense and they failed the first 2 big security measures. If 1 or the first 2 were locked.. nobody killed. If we can put armed guards for all our politicians, all our gov buildings, casino, banks, skyscrapers, but not for our children...come on.... Make it a crime to not have school doors lock...
same
@@robertwadas Imagine the teachers actually concentrating on teaching instead of preparing for an active shooter. Let's replace all the teachers with armed guards, and lock down the school like a prison. The kids won't actually learn anything, but they'll be safe while we can ignore taking measures to prevent putting them in a dangerous situation that they need to be guarded against instead. Heck, lets make missile launchers legal (they are arms) and then justify if by making schools missile proof.
What do you do when the cops refuse to stop an active shooter? Let them run out of bullets?
they are heros sir! but if they dare stop a criminal and offend anyone, they go to prison
@@shaolinmonk1218 they actively stopped people from saving children while doing nothing to save the children. They were not heroes at Texas, they were accomplices.
@@shaolinmonk1218 Ah yes cause when my mind thinks of heroes, I immediately think of people in uniform who cowardly wait around outside while an active shooter guns down literal children. Superman would be jealous.
More importantly, what do you do when society has completely forgot about the lessons learned from Columbine HS shooting and demand a bunch of partially trained police who specialize in writing tickets to speeders with out if state plates rush into a building with a shooter instead of just sending in a specialized small group to take out the shooter?
@@alexbreitenbach8204 Even other officers are saying what those police did was wrong, Ive read 2 different writings from ex SF guys on here, that said each of those 19 officers that stood outside, their fellow officers should beat their ashes..Tiktok videos of officers, YT videos of officers, current and former, all saying they should have disobeyed that stand and wait order and went in..If officers are breaking that wall to respond to this, you know they messed up big time..
"Quit fiddling with it, you'll break it off". "That's what my mother used to say". 🤣🤣🤣
My heart aches so much for those parents that brought their children to school but didn't get a chance to bring them home 😞
As a mother, that is my greatest fear. School is supposed to be the safest place for our children, second to home. And now, you have Republicans proposing to fortify schools like prison, surrounded by armed men, all because they are in denial that the real issue here is the very easy access to guns, including military assault-style weapons, which should never be in the hands of any civilian.
"Heart ache" and "heartbreak" is the new "thoughts and prayers."
It is nothing more than an announcement that you will do nothing to make the next mass shooting less likely to happen.
How about all the kids first hand witnesses?
So many reasons to blame these fools. Let’s help our Democrats win because they have no clue what to do but whine and point fingers.
In 1994 President Bill Clinton passed an executive order banning all Assault style Weapons. In 2004 President Bush let that expire with Republicans 100% backing. All Assault rifle killings since then are on these idiots. Can’t be any simpler, use that to remove all these domestic shooters problems.
Highlight this as your fight! Nothing else is as powerful, have a bean counter tally up all the people killed by Assault rifles since then and use that data against them. No ethical hunter needs an Assault rifle, only law enforcement or military.
@@baberRuth I am sorry, not an American. Will delete my comment, sorry @Lorenzo Blum
The US has a population of around 332 million, Europe has around 751 million, so far this year there has been 213 mass shootings in the US and 3 in Europe. For those who think gun control is not an issue, I don't know what to tell them.
Edit: to address some comments
January 24, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. 1 killed, 3 injured.
January 27, Dnipro, Ukraine. 5 killed 5 injured.
April 26, Veshkayma, Russia. 3 killed, 1 injured.
Move to Europe then?
@@Tony-723 Why would I move to where I already live?
@@Tony-723 That is your answer? Typical.
The issue is the Republicans lose a lot of money from the gun lobby.
We can't have that.
That is way more important than safety.
@@Tony-723 You realize it’s possible to criticize the US while still loving the country and wanting to see things change for the better, right?
When he turned that gun sideways.. That was so funny. 😆
Elisjsha Dicken watching this adds a level of funny.
@Chris Paul Any group of people who support murdering babies and saving murderers are not capable of shocking me.
According to these morons he had to have been a navy seal with a lifetime of training to do what he did 🤷🏻♂️
Yes, if you consider only 2-3% of armed citizens stopping mass shootings and the fact that more unarmed citizens have stopped mass shootings😁
@@handsometall28 lol if you’re going to regurgitate anti 2A talking points at least get the stats right… it’s not 2-3% of armed citizens stop mass shootings, it’s 2-3% of mass shootings are stopped by armed citizens, there’s a difference🤦🏻♂️. And consider how many more people are killed in the instances that are stopped by someone unarmed compared to the times it’s ended quickly by someone that is armed. Now factor in what they label “mass shootings” and look at how many of those are gang activity and drive by shootings and it’s easier to understand why the percentage stopped by armed citizens is so small. Now also consider how rare “mass shootings” are in the whole of violence in general, and look up how often guns are used in self defense. You’ll find those times way outnumber the amount of people actually killed by guns each year. So if the number of self defense gun uses greatly out numbers the amount of people killed by guns, what do you suppose happens when you no longer allow the people that had those guns for self defense to have them, and the violent people that already ignore the law keep them?
@@gotwide You are regurgitating the gun crowd myths yourself. They like to use "gang" shootings as a smoke screen to any effective solution and almost entirely put the blame on them BUT according to the National Gang Center, the government agency responsible for cataloging gang violence, there was an average of fewer than 2,000 gang homicides annually from 2007 to 2012. During roughly the same time period (2007 to 2011), the Federal Bureau of Investigation estimated an average of more than 15,500 homicides annually across the United States, indicating that gang-related homicides were approximately 13% total homicides annually. Majority of mass shootings linked to domestic Violence. in more than two-thirds (68.2%) of mass shootings analyzed, the perpetrator either killed family or intimate partners.
Gun self-defense is a broad topic and they are unreliable because they are based on "self-reporting." Almost all people involved in shootings or even brandishing a gun will claim "self-defense" to avoid prosecution. Evidence has shown many people exaggerate situations, and even lie to help the statistics. That includes people who didn't need to pull out a gun and only did it for threats and intimidation and overreaction.
Teachers are struggling to put food on the table and already spend significant hours after their work day on lesson prep and grading. So how anyone thinks they can afford to hit the range enough to be actually proficient with a gun or have the time to do so is beyond me. The only way it makes sense is if you think so little of military training that anyone can just pick up those skills in a casual afternoon.
Considering how the GOP have been refusing the pass veterans services bills for the last 6 months they think very little of the military and more about the military industrial complex and their shiny power point presentations and shinier campaign contributions
I used to teach and if anyone told me I'd have to be armed to teach my classes, I'd quit.
Not to mention how much teachers give that they don't get paid for/spend their own money on. Let's have them did MORE.
And the teacher shortage. States have been lowering their requirements for teaching eligibility. Why don't we just ask for volunteer security and weapons: 1st come gets dibs!
That’s why the majority of them are quitting.
My sister finally hit the wall as a teacher. She received no support, no supplies and no aides. She had to do a go fund me to get the necessary money for basic supplies and equipment. She taught special needs students and fought to get them the services they needed. She also assisted the parents with training and their IEP. Teachers in the district started leaving because of the lack of support. She was heartbroken because she truly loved her students and fought to get them what they needed.
Years ago I had this crazy notion that I wanted to go hunting. I went through an 8 hours of gun safely class and a final test, very similar to the test Jordan took. After spending 8 hours with the other nut jobs who were taking the safety class, I decided hunting in public land was probably the unsafest thing I could do.
that's why people buy hunting land and go in groups
@@bangoutmedia6361 kinda defeats the point of hunting
@@danielportillo2443 if u think so I live in Texas so say what u want
@@danielportillo2443 What is the point in hunting anyway?
I too was curious about guns and after going to the shooting range a several times, I discovered, civilians don't need assault rifles to defend themselves.
I grew up and used to live in Germany. I owned a hunting rifle. This had to be stored at all times it was not in use in a locked gun cabinet, unloaded, with the ammunition kept in a different secure place. I had to pass a police background check and psychological evaluation to acquire it. I find this perfectly reasonable. Oh and in order to be allowed to go hunting, I had to pass a test called a 'huntsman' s license ', which covers not only the mere mechanics of handling and firing a gun, but a ton of stuff on the animals' habitat, biology and natural behaviour, forest ecology, hunting custom and etiquette etc. It's as extensive as a driver's test. Nobody goes out and guns down wildlife for a bit of drunken fun after 8 hours of beginner's practice.
The difference is in the USA we have a constitutionally protected (not granted) right to own and carry guns, written in the 2nd amendment, and mentioned throughout our history in countless documents between the founders and, importantly, codified into law and verified by the courts. If you ever want to ban guns in the USA, it will require amending our constitution. There is a process for this, and it is the only legal way for the government to disarm our population.
Is there any background check and psychological test to be a teacher or a cop or politician, or a parent? Because I'll bet $ that any of these is harder than management of defensive pistol carry.
Anybody who you can trust with a single-shot break-open .22 or 20 guage, and they'll be careful, responsible adults, you can trust with a a7.62mm battle rifle (a real technical term, and it isn't a semi-auto medium powered carbine). If you can't trust them with that auto-rifle or a .22, then you shouldn't be trusting them to walk freely unsupervised in society. If society is too fu
@@JFrazer4303 um so yeah there definitely are background checks for teachers cops and politicians and psychological tests for cops. the way that it should be.

There's no problem with checks and such to buy guns. We have background checks, and we do already permanently prohibit to anyone guilty of serious rimes or any domestic violence.

Being snarky toward the guy trying to teach safety is just asinine. I understand it’s satire but if you’re not going to respect the firearm that is how people get accidentally hurt
?? It is satire, yes. It depicts wonderfully how someone being snarky like that does to get handling a gun anyways! Instead of showing any real consequence.
The honesty of the trainers is overwhelming. From safety of hand weapons to use in emergency. It is scary truth.
For a man to hang his head at Klepper's joke and just say "Not in my lifetime..." Is chilling, to see them both just be unable to even say it in jest with him at the end is really something
I'm impressed by how these trainers cooperated with this segment. They're all likely to be pro-gun, and they probably know what Klepper's ultimate message will be, but they're still willing to work with him to prove his point because it's an important one.
@@Yidenia We really gotta get off this notion that wanting more extensive background checks, more training, and possibly a psyche evaluation for a potential gun owner is somehow anti-gun.
It's kinda disheartening how they're the experts on what the politicians are proposing but they won't give their two cents because they're incentivized to keep their political opinions to themselves for fear of being associated with a political party.
I'm a teacher, a parent, and a gun owner. My wife and kids are all in my building. I can't tell you how messed up it is that people would suggest teachers have guns on their person in a school situation. For them to be effective, they would all have to be strapped and loaded like police officers, at every grade level and teacher age/fitness. Not in their desks or a safe. If effective, mass shooters would shift to other soft targets and our kids and teachers would get shot more often by accident from more guns being mishandled in a regular classroom setting. Eventually we would resemble more of an armed vigilante police state than a nation.
I can't tell you for sure what the source of the problem is, because it's complicated. But I can tell you what I think, which is based on studies and my observations as a teacher for over a decade:
1. Students are more isolated and excluded as a result of the internet and video games. A majority of mass shooters are single white men who have been isolated or made more extreme through the internet, rather than poor, desperate minorities. Regardless, it's our culture of exclusion that has increased since 2006 when the smartphone hit the scene.
2. Families are under more financial and marital pressure since wages have stagnated for 40+ years and parents have to work longer hours and can emotionally support kids less. It takes a village, but the village is off trying to pay the bills.
3. The gap between rich and poor has grown. Studies imply this perception can breed social resentment. This can manifest both racially and through class differences, but also through intra-class violence- poor vs. poor.
4. Mental health services have been cut back since the 80s, resulting in more people with mental health problems on the street, or even raising raising own kids.
5. More guns are in production and available/being sold, including the AR-15, since the 2005 assault gun ban was lifted. People are more likely to be shot with a handgun, but more mass shootings are with semi-auto long guns. Sales have skyrocketed since Sandyhook out of fear of a ban, leading to greater access and political clout from manufacturers and NRA.
6. The NRA has effectively become a tool for the gun lobby, which, coupled with the gerrymandering of legislative districts, has led many politicians to move further to the right and open up gun laws so they don't get primaried from the right by an NRA-backed challenger. This has created a race to the bottom on gun regulations, and resulted in regulations with huge public support being killed in congress.
7. Fame culture and glorification of violence at about every level, especially including video games and tvs/movies. Couple with increased suicides and "death by cop" self-harm, and some see it as a way to go down in a blaze of glory.
8. A decrease in social trust and trust in institutions. When people think the system is corrupt, they are more likely to be violent. A profoundly biased media has exacerbated this issue by capitalizing on fear and resentment for profit.
9. Cultural pride and resentment toward government authority. "Cold dead hands" and Christmas cards with the whole family holding their favorite gun is proof of this. This increases social tension, backalsh to reform, and access to weapons.
10. Political division and extremism. Social media echo chambers helping validate extremist views that become mainstream, and suddenly people are surprised at something like January 6th happening. No, this was coming for a while.
11. Schools have been slowly handed more social responsibilities with fewer resources. We feed kids, take care of special needs kids, and do it with fewer pay and resources every year. Toss covid in there and teaching was a nightmare. Kids are more likely to feel unsupported and fall through the cracks. Combine that with any/all of the above factors, and some people may snap and start shooting.
So this issue is very uniquely American, because we are one of the only powerful countries with all these problems intertwined in our system at this moment. We can't fix it easily because it wasn't created easily, but rather in many different ways over a long period of time. To think we can solve it any other way than varied and over multiple generations is pretty foolish. Even something as drastic as our children being murdered hasn't done it, because we seem to only be able to focus on one or two of the sources of the issues, then argue they are the only source. Add to it that we are trending more toward division than unity in the past decade, along with another potentially inflammatory SCOTUS ruling on guns coming up in the next month, and this problem appears to be headed down a path of worse rather than better for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for attending my Ted Talk. Please remember: people in a democracy get the leaders they deserve. It's up to the people to be responsible, and we simply aren't right now.
Worth the read. You hit the nail on the head. Best wishes to you, the faculty and your family.
Best response I've read yet across social media.
Wow, yes! Send copies of this to congressional leaders! (And I, too, am a gun owner). Tyou for taking the time to educate people.
Living in the USA looks exhausting and exhausted people make poorer, more impulsive choices or decisions and are quicker to look for easy fixes and external leadership to solve their problems. It makes them more malleable for profit and power.
They need to get the money out of their politics, and the religion whilst they're at it. Without some of the more artificial actors imposing so much fear between citizens of each other, there may be a chance for people to act in their own interest and each other's interest.

I really enjoyed ALERRT. It was solid training when i got to go through it in 2013. But my base firearms course was 9 mm and 12 ga, all in a week long 40 hour course with a yearly 8 hour refresher, complete with written before range time.

This is the third time I'm watching this, and I still find that Jordan Klepper and the Daily Show hit the nail right on the head.
except hes incorrect when you actually do research. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost every major study on defensive gun use has found that Americans use their firearms defensively between 500,000 and 3 million times each year.
@@mtbasshead I didn't see anything said in this video that disputes that. It's really just unrelated to the point Klepper is making.
There is still 1 or more mass shootings every day in America and all these guns aren't getting rid of the problem.

You can bet those guys have seen and heard worse.
@@HappinessHealthPeace I think so because 1) cameras and contracts that say he's on The Daily Show, 2) to exactly your point, Klepper is actually putting them in danger and they would have reacted differently if they didn't know it was a bit, and 3) not only do they know, they are most likely told exactly what is going to happen, where the cameras will be located, and how to respond to Klepper to get the info they want to air.
Every senator, Governor and congressman should go through that training in an elementary school at least once, (Ted Cruz can do his training in Cancun.) Then they can use the footage in their campaign ads.
Actually, every representative in Washington who refuses to discuss reform should be marched through the mass shooting crime scene. While the bodies are still there.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost every major study on defensive gun use has found that Americans use their firearms defensively between 500,000 and 3 million times each year. 30k dead 500k defense uses. How do you stop a shooter? exactly....

@@MrMwmussel1 More gun laws prevent crime right? Gun homicides drive the rise. California saw 1,658 homicides in 2019; the number climbed to 2,161 in 2020-an increase of 503 homicides (or 30.3%). Of these deaths, gun homicides jumped by 460 in 2020 (or 40.6%). In other words, the increase in gun deaths account for 91% of the overall jump in homicides.
The Uvalde PD has their hands full trying to slow down the release of information so they have time to figure out how they can mitigate the damage to their reputation. It is astonishing how they can flip flop on whether or not there was a school resource officer on-site and whether or not that officer had engaged with the shooter before the shooter gained entry.
Get stories straight!
What reputation?? They got put on the map for their inability to respond effectively to an active shooter. Lol it's not UPD, former home of Walker, Texas Ranger
They just hired their friends/cousins so they can cosplay cops and robbers.
I thought it was pretty well covered. Yes they did, 2 people engaged with the assailant before he entered the classroom and they both survived. The assailant used his knowledge of the schools layout against them by darting down two short hallways and ducking into a classroom.
@@notchomomma239 isn’t that being disputed right now? I thought I saw a Texas official yesterday say the shooter WAS NOT engaged before entering school. I could be wrong
Reality check ... I served with the US Army for 9 years and was also an infantry training NCO plus I served in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne, 2/502 Inf.
To train a combat solder to be competent with weapons, it take a total of 16 to 22 weeks. Now that's not actual fighting, that's play war and live fire target practice. Jordan is doing a simple gun course. Imagine the time to teach a teacher the same training I got, plus the insurance costs and training costs to each and every teacher/employee in every school district.
Hard Example; A ricochet, bounces, or skips off a surface, particularly in the case of a projectile and hits a child. Kills or seriously injures them ... who covers that cost? The idea of arming teachers is insane and undo-able ... it's a smoke screen from Republicans and the NRA as they have to know that information also.

Not only would teachers need to be trained but substitutes as well. Financially that’s almost impossible for most school districts to fund.
So, you want your already stressed-out teacher dealing with a room full snotty, rebellious teenagers to have a firearm at their disposal? Lots of stories that will end wonderfully in that scenario.

Excellent presentation, and the law enforcement commentary lends it plenty of weight.
And now we got Mr. Dickens.
In the Uvalde, TX elementary school shooting, the police reportedly did not go inside the school to stop the shooter despite arriving on the scene. If police officers have been trained for this exact scenario, then why do they still hesitate to head inside the school and put the training to use? All this training is not seen in real life because of hesitant police officers. Ultimately, the shooter was stopped by an armed police officer, but by then, the damage had been done.
not all departments get that training. the supreme court also ruled its not a cops duty to protect you or anyone else.
incredibly sad. I wonder how those cops sleep at night. Yes it's dangerous: they signed up for it. Yes there are uncertainties and great risk: they signed up for it. But every bullet coming their way is one less bullet for a child. Every second the shooter is distracted by cops is a second some kids might escape out a window. ANYTHING the cops actively do to stop, distract or limit the shooter helps. Waiting outside and calling for backup is horrendous while kids are being shot.
I’m not an expert, but I imagine that their delay is being investigated. I think this video demonstrates the risk even for people with training. Many factors to consider.
they also arrested 2 parents and pepper sprayed one who were asking them to go in, took an hour and a half to go in

@@IkarusKommt Yeah, how about you check the willfully ignorant attitude, look into case law, and gain an education. The 2005 'Castle Rock v. Gonzales' ruling was used as justification in the 2013 'Lozito v. The City of New York' after a two day stabbing spree with multiple fatalities by criminal Maksim Gelman back in 2011 (which of course was a National News Story). Police were posted to a NY subway train *Specifically for the Potential Apprehension of Gelman* when he tried to enter the conductor's booth - speaking to the cops directly, and failing that, turned and attacked Lozito with the knife, after announcing "You're gonna die", and stabbing him repeatedly. The Police stayed in the train conductor's section, watching through the window until AFTER the altercation to apprehend Gelman and then told Lozito that they 'got him' and 'you can get up now' as they departed the train leaving Lozito bleeding out on the floor. Need to change the motto from "To Protect and to Serve" over to a more accurate "We show up afterward to collect the bodies".

My local news had a story that law enforcement was going to offer to train teachers how to deal with active shooters. I commented on FB that as a teacher, I'd much rather make it harder for civilians to have access to guns and assault rifles, and a lot easier to have access to health care and social services. You can guess how I got dog-piled about how wrong I was in every regard: from semantics about what is an assault rifle, to how my claims were erroneous (funny, since I didn't make any claims, merely shared my opinion as the target audience of the offer), to how delusional and idiotic I was. I resisted the urge to respond and correct their grammar and logical fallacies, since I didn't have the spoons to deal with so many trolls. But it disgusts me that people expect the teachers to put their lives on the line with a hand gun vs. an assault rifle, when they already have way too much pressure put on them in all directions without having to add SWAT to their job responsibilities. More guns are not the solution to a gun problem!
I also find it frustrating that the right wing nut job response to the suggestion of banning assault rifles is often "what's an assault rifle then? you don't even know what it is!" We all know these are civilian versions of military weapons, but the trolls really think they are doing something.

@@firestream93 I’ll go tell a cop he’s useless right now, but he would shoot me for hurting his feelings.
I don't excuse what they did. But I read that no armor can protect you from the war like rifles that the shoters use.
Almost as if this points to the problem, that no person apart from military or special police forces should be able to have these rifles in the first place.
@@dagmarbubolz7999 Their sheer numbers against one gunman should have been enough. They are sworn to serve and protect. Ask MOST who have served in both fire safety and police and they will tell you in this situation, you ALWAYS press until the guy is caught or dead.
Courage comes from empathy. These people have neither.
"I'm one of the co-authors of the report." 😂😂😂👍
"And I may have shot an unarmed teen twice in the chest." Considering the most recent reports out of Uvalde, this somehow got even less funny...
Problem is since Jordan taped this you can walk in any gun store in Texas and buy a gun no training needed.
You don't need a license or permit anymore either...and, I think background checks are only a suggestion.
@@danni1993 yep and Missouri is headed in the same direction
@@danni1993 Background checks are mandatory. What are you talking about?
@@judys5767
For private sales? For Gun shows? (They SAY they do)? For 'kits' online? For 3D printers? From your friends?
No...background checks are a suggestion.
@berserker406 neither does Missouri they're going all in on Texas examlpe
Greg abbott and cops should resign be arrested or fired
Agreed!!
Why Abbot? Didn't he sign a law last year that said teachers could be armed?
I've owned firearms for 20+ years and I can safely say at least %50 of people that own guns legally should definitely not.. I've seen them in the gun stores flagging people and on the range with negligent discharges.. a lot just buy them on a whim and have had no safety courses at minimum.. I support at least a two day(weekend or whenever) safety, training and mental health evaluation.. if passed is a SHALL issue permit valid in all 50 states like a driver's license.. that infringes on nothing, the 2nd is still valid and it would keep so many people who just "want one" from getting one.. of course some crazies will slip through the cracks but it's a kind of common sense gun law that I'd be all for.. don't ask me how I feel about what's considered an "assault rifle" and if we should be allowed to have them though.. probably wouldn't like the answer..
I would like to know your answer to the assault rifle thing, actually.
That's kinda how I read it as well. I think if you are going to own a gun, you should have to go through a lot of background checks, trainings, and evaluations. It should be even harder to get a license to own a gun than to get a license to drive a car, imo.
I've worked on a gun range and I've seen LE and military have plenty of negligent discharges too. It's not a matter of not enough training it's complacency. "It's not going to happen to me I'm a trained professional" kind of attitude. So I don't think that more training really solves anything. Under your suggested plan say there is a woman that wants a gun to protect herself from a crazy ex. Well now she can't get one until she goes through all this training which who knows how long that will take, while she's waiting ex boyfriend comes by a couple days later and kills her. Or say there is a family who doesn't have a lot of money and lives in a bad part of town they can just scrape up enough money to get a cheap pistol or shotgun to protect their home now they can't because they have to pay for all this training and mental health evaluations which I'm sure will be so reasonably priced.
I could get behind that, although maybe longer than just a weekend of training. When I was in the Marines, we had weeks of firearm training and that was just to learn basic marksmanship.

Also, to apply for an out of state Florida conceal carry license by mail or online, you must pass a federal and state background check and reside in a state that honors Florida conceal carry permits. Also, out of state permits don’t have the same privileges as an in state permit.
That background check is a joke. Just like your facile comment.
@@Dynamice1337 obviously you’ve never applied for a conceal carry permit.
@@Dynamice1337 you have no idea on anything of this subject. How many training courses have you taken? How many hours of range time? Do you know the gun laws of the state you reside in? Don't talk when the adults are speaking.
@@sm32586 I love watching liberal moon bats spout nonsense and put their ignorance on full display. I chuckle when they “claim” to know what their talking about and they’ll spout the AR in AR-15 means Assault Rifle or they call a magazine a clip.
Would a bumper sticker that read..
“Promote gun safety - Shoot a Politician who votes against it!”
..be too much? Asking for a friend. Thx!
Not enough 😂🤣😂
You hit the bullseye!! 🎯
I’ve seen worse
I wouldn't say to shoot anyone, but 56 of the right people dying are all this country needs right now to emerge saner in a decade.
In gas pumps too
I would love to see Jordan interview Herschel Walker, please?
