I had a proper title and description for this video before RUclips flagged it 18+ as a result. I have re-uploaded this with no description in an attempt to avoid whatever stupid keywords they're using to turn this into a video that no one will see.

This is an example of why "That can't happen here," is an incredibly ignorant thing to say. "That" HAS happened here. And it continues to happen to this day, too, no matter which political party is in power.
Uniparty* the Republican party was usurped and taken over by dems after the death of Calvin Coolidge, there's been no actual difference between the two parties since. Until this recent wave of grass roots populism swept over the GOP, we'll just have to see if it can fully take over the republican party and cripple the uniparty from within without being inevitably corrupted.
"That kind of thing can't happen here, we're a modern, civilised country" is exactly what people said in 1930s Germany.
@Prime Minister Blackface why use guns when you can use your 3 millimeter defeater pal?
@Prime Minister Blackface It's not just democrats who are careening towards authoritarianism, it's republicans too with their constant theocratic infringements on the constitution
@@pyroisafemboy6994 Last time I did, I got in a lot of trouble.
Sort of crazy how often I've see depictions of Sitting Bull in American History contexts, but this is actually the first time hearing how he died. Wounded Knee is often covered in history books but it rarely extrapolates the details.
read Moon of the Popping Trees
given false tellings of ambiguity of "who shot first" when the mission statement was plain to see.
Yes, I was surprised to hear about that too, also about the worst mass shooting in American history.
Remember: every "American History" textbook you ever read is Federal Propoganda.

cool stuff, karl
I'm Lakota. I listened and watched closely. Sincerely thank you, for sharing our history in a respectful and truthful manner. The world needs to know.
Thank you for taking the time to write your kind words, and I am glad you feel that way about this video.
@@InrangeTv GREAT VIDEO IN RANGE
So, you're a first native?
@@drysoup3017 that's not a thing.
@@UncomplicatedFellow yes they are
I knew as soon as I saw the title it was going to be about wounded knee or sandy creek. The US tries to treat the "plains wars" as ancient history, completely abstract to modern society, but the children and grandchildren of the survivors of these genocides are still alive
The sins of our great great great grandfathers probably shouldn't be something we engage in perpetual self flagellation over. Let's fix the fallout and teach it as history to prevent a reoccurrence but past that we are going to mostly be creating negative outcomes.
Its just sand creek
The plains tribes practiced perpetual total war and were horrible to their enemies. While I don't condone any of these events, and feel sorrow for the victims of history, people often over look that fact. When the rules of war are not defined, they are set by the aggressor.
That is a stretch to say kids and grandkids more like great and great great
@@sethleger6105 Yeah it's been 160ish years... Great great at a minimum.
Thank you for your work. The worst atrocities in history are prepared by the refusal to recognize the humanity of others.
Seconded.
And usually perpetrated by the government
Could not agree more.
Straight up facts
Truer words were never spoken.
These videos, as terrible as they are, are why I respect you so much Karl.
History ain't a clean thing. Sometimes it's hard to think about, but its entirely a necessary thing to remember.
@@thatguynameddan2136 those who forget their past are doomed to repeat it.
The inherent trust average Americans have in their government is unfounded. And the scorn they heap on those of us who are inherently suspicious of government is absurd. The reservation system, the Tuskegee Experiments, the modern prison industrial complex, from history to today, our government has no problem crushing it’s own people under its boot.
Don't forget CoIntelPro and MKUltra projects.
Portions of which continue to this day
The Bonus Marches... Kent State... The Trail of Tears...
"Government" is just people. People who decide to get involved in how the country is run. Everyone could do that. From showing up at town halls to volunteering or running for office. If someone doesn't trust the system and doesn't use it and maintain it, then the system won't work for them. In most cases small thinks like giving feedback can go a long way in changing how the government works. Voting on presidential elections is probably the least impactful thing one can do to change how a country works.
The entire second amendment is absurd nowadays. How would anyone know if the government is tyrannical? Half of the people think every four years that their president elect is the Messiah, and the other half thinks that the election was stolen / gerrymandered / votersuppressed. And what would an organized militia do? Go to a police station and shoot everyone? Or attack the Capitol Building? Destroy a McDonalds?
Capitalism is just a system of corruption. You will not be protected. You are not free.
@@lajthabalazs those halfs are the same
I remember reading "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee" in high school. I was not ok after reading it. Which about far more than this event, it really drives the entire thing home.
Also read the book around the same time, only in junior high. Severely affected the way I view the world.
Used to hate mandatory reading , untill they assigned that book. IT was one hell of an eye opener.
I hate that you are the only “guntuber” who addresses this stuff, but I’m glad you are doing it
most "guntubers" are just selfish consoomers clutching at their ar-15s with no concern for liberty or social justice, or responsible, community conscious gun ownership, they all live in expensive suburbs or "compounds" or "ranches".
Everyone else is too afraid about their bottom line
You know, not everybody has to address this issue. Yeah, many innocent lives were taken during this massacre and I do not mean any disrespect for the deceased, but it's a free country and everybody can do anything as long as it doesn't harm their neighbour.
@@Jorvaskrr one could easily say that the steadfast refusal to acknowledge these issues and surrounding cultural impacts is "an act of harm to ones neighbors". How can these issues be redressed by those who remain willfully ignorant?
@@iceman5117 well, that's your interpretation. I don't see my statement inflicting physical harm or being an obstacle to the professional and/or personal development of anyone who may be offended. Just like what you wrote earlier, they're just words assembled in the mould of an opinion. I am not forcing this opinion down on you, it is not a law that you need to obey and if you feel that words hurt you, then my advice for you is to grow some thick skin.
I remember reading Dee Brown's "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee" when I was in High School... It was not part of the curriculum, but from my fathers collection. I remember weeping at times, wondering how this could have been done, and how the government of the day could justify the massacre of women & children. If memory serves, a believe several of the Trooper's were even awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor...
Correct. That was one of the events that the CMoH was revoked from the recipients as well, when the medal was elevated in it's status as an award.
@@MarkiusFox I did not know that. Thank you.
Twenty soldiers were awarded the medal. Empires will always be empires, even if they pretend they're champions of Enlightened ideals of civilisation and all that nonsense.
I actually went to the Mountain Meadows Massacre, because it had appeared before on this channel. Also, it involved radical religious zealots and what were basically tourists.
18 or something CMoH for this...
As tragic as it is, thank you for keeping this history alive, so that we may learn from it.
I was in Pine Ridge a few years ago and visited Wounded Knee one night to pay my respects. The sign at the massacre site read, “Here marks the site of the last conflict between the U.S. Army and the Lakota People,” only someone had profoundly scratched out the word “last” with a knife.
The memorial and mass grave up the hill was covered in prayer bundles and offerings, and I offered my own as well. But despite feeling the energy of the horror that took place, the experience was not eerie or “dead” as I expected it to be. The moon was full and bright and lit up the hills. In the distance I could hear owls hooting, dogs barking, coyotes howling and children laughing and playing. Seeing and hearing so much life gave me hope for the future of these people that have already suffered too much and still continue to suffer today.
Thank you for another great video Karl.
As someone with family ties to the Black Hills, I love that you correctly refer to the tribe as “Lakota” instead of “Sioux”
Thank you Karl, I'm a long time viewer and member of the Sisseton Whapeton Oyate. I have family on my fathers side that are Hunkpapa and I could have enrolled in either the Sisseton tribe or Standing Rock. I can't really explain how much it means for someone I have watched for years shine a light on a painful part of my peoples past. Thank you for bringing visibility we need all that we can get.

But always broke their word

Drove us like a heard
And finally on the reservation
We were going for our preservation
We were all wiped out by the seventh Calvary

We won't break our word
Well sing, sing, sing out our story
Till the truth is heard
There's a whole new generation
Which will dream of veneration
Who were not wiped out by the seventh Calvary
You and me you and me.

RED BONE!!!!!!
@@kainhall Yep!
It was absolutely criminal that Redbone was blacklisted after they released this song.
I would very much enjoy more contemporary indigenous history coverage. The Wounded Knee Standoff, Alcatraz Occupation, and the Oka Crisis are all relatively recent events that really tie together indigenous history from today to back then.
I like the bait and switch. The ‘casual’ clicker will see the ar 15 and click. But people who know this channel and history knew what was coming. Great video and way of presenting it Karl.
I don't want to make light of this video but when you throw the AR-15 off screen at 1.10 I immediately assumed it landed in a wheelbarrow full of mud
Wouldn't be the first time, looks like the gun that was used in their convoy test
Had this been the title or thumbnail of any other "guntube" channel i wouldn't have even bothered watching, knowing most gun people thoughts on the topic. But when i saw this was done by you Karl i knew i had to watch. Thanks for being our bringer of light. And how awesome was that song, truly amazing.
I knew where you were going with this since the start. I think many people who are subscribed to this channel did. I wish I could say I was surprised that the government perpetrated the worst mass shooting, but I am not.
I wasn't sure if it was gonna be one of the genocides, or if it was gonna be an atrocity committed in southeast asia
The more you learn about history, the more you become convinced that those at power are and have always been corrupt beyond redemption.
And the angrier I get...
Thanks for this, Karl.
On the other side of the Atlantic, the single biggest mass murderer in UK history was Dr. Harold Shipman, an NHS doctor known to have killed 218 people (the official estimate of the actual total is 250) from 1975-1998, using nothing more than the contents of his doctor's bag. He was apparently also a shotgun certificate holder, and owned at least one shotgun.
"Imagine how much worse it would have been had he an semi-automatic weapon."
Are you sure about that?, he had a criminal record so doubt he would be granted an SGC.
@@TheSundayShooter fully-semi-automatic assault doctors bag
@@cardiffpicker1 no he had a license they were less strict then now you can lose it with a speeding ticket
@@viperscot1 source?, I have had an SGC for nearly 30 years and they never would have granted me one with a record like he had.
Fantastic content, Karl. History deserves to be remembered
My respects for bringing us part of America's forgotten history.
We have to know our history in order to be able to learn from it.
@@r.l.royalljr.3905 doesn't work tbh. We never learn from history we just assume that we're too "sophisticated and civilized" to resort to these practices any longer. They happen behind the scenes now through massive coverups, false flag events and whatnot, and people just stay ignorant.
The sins of our fathers
@Robert Sears are you seriously asking this after this video?
I thought the Colfax event (does me saying the word in the comments affect the video's promotion?) might have been worse, but that's only if you take the higher estimate for the Colfax vs the lowest government estimate for Wounded Knee, and even then it's just barely. I think you should do a video on Colfax too when since not only is it self inflicted amnesia, but it also has ties to the 2nd amendment (and 1st) with the supreme court case United States v. Cruikshank afterwards.
Opelousas massacre may have been worse. It's another tragedy kept quiet because it doesn't fit the narrative.
Keywords effect the video and your comment presence. Yes.
@@bovineknievel410 what narrative is that?
Anytime you're told to lay down your arms, there's likely a wagon ride, train car, and/or a mass tragedy in your future.
Just a quick shower 😅
Hasn't happened in the UK yet. I don't support gun control, but I also don't support easily-refuted arguments on any side.
@@smorrow what are you talking about? You never had any arms to even lay down in the first place? Your opinion doesn't belong here
@@vannlo355 It isn't an opinion.
@@smorrow "It couldn't happen here, we're a modern, civilized society" -1930s German citizen.
History has lessons that if not learned, must be experienced again and again.
Exactly 💯 agree

"Those who forget history, are doomed to repeat it". Thank you for shedding light on the wounded knee massacre.
Also, if I were a True Medal of Honor recipient....I wouldn't want to be associated with 20 of the men that committed these acts....20 Medals of Honor given for this "Battle"...that's insane
If I remember correctly, this and similar incidents along with sentiments such as yours is what lead to a reform of the Medal of Honor criteria and how the actual events are investigated. For example, in 1917 , 911 recipients were struck from the record for not meeting any basic criteria. Essentially, most Medal of Honor awards before WW1 probably shouldn't be looked at the same way as those given since.
They got redacted later
@@214TwoOneFo I didn’t know either fact, I do know soldiers follow orders given by politicians, I do not condone war crimes and do not know enough details of this battle. I will this time tomorrow. Our government has done some downright criminal atrocities and you have to be naive to think they still won’t do them to us to accomplish their goals. They just use false flags now and blame Bin Laden.
That was the Only Medal for bravery at the time
The only other place i’ve ever heard of this was bioshock infinite, at the time it completely flew over my head. Thanks for bringing this to light Karl, I love the historical videos you make and it would be a damn shame if you stopped making them.

It's important to remember what many of us have forgotten. What was inflicted upon the Native peoples was in fact, a genocide. Between the forced relocations, the massacres, to the deprivation of human dignity it was no less than a genocide. A genocide that in many ways never ended for the Native peoples. What happened was a genocide so complete it served as a blueprint for the Holocaust. Don't forget that.
@@joshmiller9783 by the time manifest destiny took hold and people started fighting for the west, the natives were just a remnant from what they had been. most were done in by disease before any human conflict arrived. It was almost like if we got nuked by aliens with a small portion remaining and then that portion having to fight them. Would've been interesting what a native American nation that modernized quickly could have looked like though.
@Josh Miller.....you might be surprised, if you bothered to educate yourself that is....
The founders of this country actually used some of the governing principals of the native Americans when forming our Republic.....
Simply incorrect
@@klown463 which part is incorrect?
@@klown463 Well, are you gonna explain which fucking part is incorrect?
This is the kind of stuff that makes your heart sink in your chest and fill with dread. Thank you for not letting us forget Karl.
I knew it was a curveball moving in, I thought "Wounded Knee?" it's sad that it's only glossed over in history. State sponsored violence should always be up front and center in our stories.
Great video. I like to study the Apache Wars. I've never heard anyone mention the hundreds of natives killed in general search and destroy missions in Central Arizona circa 1870-1872. Micky Free went on a lot of these hunts.
The concept of a tribe using the government as a means to destroy their generations old enemies lives on today. And, the government turned on all of the indians in the end as they still do with their political supporters.
These videos are so important, you do a great job explaining and educating about these topics.
I'm not sure you can really compare the two things other than that both are abhorrent, both involve guns and neither should be forgotten.
This is why i am subscribed to InRangeTV and their works. I always learn something new. I had “historical amnesia”. Thanks Karl for the hard work.
Might be interesting if you could do a video on the emergence of civilian mass shootings that targeted other civilians.
They were super rare up until about 30 years ago, so a look into the things that changed and might have contributed to a rise in these tragic events might be interesting.
Could also be helpful to counter these „it’s the guns“-arguments often heard from anti-gun people, as access to guns wasn’t really more restricted back then.
Prescription pharmaceuticals.
I hate to be "that guy", but I really do think it's the rise of the internet. Moreso than any kind of mental illness, the primary common factor among mass public shooters is a high degree of self-radicalization, and accordingly many mass public shootings could be classified as terroristic. The internet facilitates this by letting people sort themselves into echo chambers and intensify warped beliefs with minimal effort. I think it's also heavily driven by the 24-hour news cycle, in much the same way serial killers in the 70s and 80s were largely a media contagion and a desire for notoriety.
It's worth noting that in this case I use the term "mass public shooting" as that's how the FBI defines these events. The popular definition overlaps massively with domestic violence and gang violence, leading to vastly inflated numbers despite very different root causes.
This has been researched, discussed and proven ad nauseam. No one wants to hear the truth
The normalization of violence, people are less likely to receive help nowadays. All I know is I watched Saving Private Ryan at age 4 and after seeing all the brutality and gore my first thought was yeah I bet I could do this when I grow up and that’s just me there are people that grow up from more f’ed up backgrounds
@@James_Bee sounds more like you're afraid to give your opinion...
Well done Karl, you have highlited a genuine 'inconvenient truth'
Thank you Karl for the excellent presentation. I appreciate you sharing and reminding us about this tragedy.
Great work as usual, I didn't know about this at all so I'm glad you're making the history known
I appreciate these historical accounts and contexts! Thank you Karl! Can we get the source material so we can read further? Please keep doing these.

"bury my heart at wounded knee" by dee brown
Thank you so much for doing this kind of work, Karl. You're giving so many people the education we've been denied by incompetent and apologist history curricula.
Wow ! What an incredible editing job ! Beautiful. Well Done.
Great vid. Love the history content, very cool insides on the frontier history. Im a trained historian myself and this is top notch Karl.
Been missing Old West Vignettes. This is a fine substitute, thanks Karl.
Thank you, it is so important to know our history and learn from it, to face it. And thanks for the presentation, very moving.
Excellent video and I really enjoyed the music video at the end. Very good stuff!
Thank you for this, Karl & team. It's for making difficult videos like this (and other, similar videos on your channel) that my family and I have so much respect for you - especially when this topic has been so heartlessly swept under the rug (to the point of actual censorship, such as when the Native-American funk-band Redbone was blacklisted from the radio for releasing their 1973 song, "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee").
The United States is very much like a version of N_zi Germany that actually succeeded in accomplishing "Lebensraum." Except for us, we call it Manifest Destiny.
I had never looked at it that way, but when point it out it’s shockingly accurate. Terrifying.
Lessons learned: never, ever trust the government and under absolutely no circumstances surrender your firearms.
Thank you for bringing us this awesome content, I was vaguely aware of this incident but not to this degree. Oh, what little has changed in over 100 years.
Thank you very much for keeping this heartbreaking story factual and alive. Appreciate it a lot.
Greets, T.
As someone who is Native (though I am Potawatomi, not Lakota) I truly do appreciate you bringing the truth to those who will listen. Maybe having more history like this become common knowledge will make people realize that Land Back really isn't a "radical" idea, it's just simply an attempt to make right a historical wrong.
It really is because what are you going to do? Take it?
@@muffinxcancer If all you know about an idea is the name, try learning more before you ridicule it. You just make yourself look dumb.
"Maybe having more history like this become common knowledge will make people realize that Land Back really isn't a "radical" idea, it's just simply an attempt to make right a historical wrong."
We can't go back in time and fix _every_ historical wrong (including what your ancestors did to their neighbors) because we'd be playing 'musical plots' for the rest of our lives.

“Damn, wish I was there!” - Lon Horiuchi, (definitely).
As a Yankton Sioux from the Midwest I wanna express my thanks for keeping true to the history and sharing the words of the people from the actual events and not just retrospective thoughts on what happened. Everytime I see "worst mass shooting in history" titles or headlines I cringe and think back on my people's history. Love your videos btw, when I'm financially stable I hope to support you and Ian from Forgotten Weapons. As a student of all history, I look to you two for a good part of my leisure and research. Thanks again.
As soon as I heard wounded knee I knew it would go somewhere dark. Your one of the only people on youtube I really respect, because your not afraid to shed light on events like these and talk abit of reality in all of us. Thank you Karl
More of this please.
Also, to expand in a random direction. The roleplay game "ShadowRun" used the Great Ghost dance as a point of modern history to allow the return of magic into the world. Nice to understand the full context of the history now.
I never noticed that thanks for pointing that out!
I did like how Shadowrun tried to keep as much as possible to the idea of the original Ghost Dance.
The Great Ghost Dance wasn't a call for the native Americans to be violent, but a call to the spirits, and they won not through force of arms but because nature itself rebelled.
It's sad to say, but before this video I had no idea that the Great Ghost Dance was based on any sort of historical event. I suppose I never really researched Native American history, but it feel like something this big should have been talked about more.
Sad story but thank you for sharing with us Karl. The work you do is amazing and meaningful and I would never hear this history if not for you.
That second half absolutely rewards watching in a dark room with the volume up. Thank you for sharing it.
Very informative and thought provoking. Thank you.
Probably the hardest book I've ever read any of was about wounded knee. I was just a kid in my first college American history class. They really don't teach you the ugly side of history until you start taking college courses.
Karl speaks about "induced amnesia" and I think "this is going to be something US government done".
The moment he said that Ar-15 os out of picture is when when I said out loys "Wounded Knee?".
Why I, random Eastern European, know this? Is my memory like a hoarders home or something?
I wouldn't be surprised if Europeans receive better education about the dark side to American history than Americans do themselves. When I was in school (which wasn't too long ago) we basically just got taught "Settlers came, Natives "moved" for them" and that was it, then like 8 years of slavery bad, Holocaust bad, back to back each year, with nothing else elaborating on Native people past the Trail of Tears. Pretty frustrating as a Native person myself.
@@davidbetters3458 I'm European and we got a thorough education in the origins of the United States, basically from the first European arrivals to the modern day - with all the good and the bad, relatively unbiased and honest history. We also got the same education for the existence of Europe as it is today and also the state of things around the world. It helped that the history department at my secondary level of education was extremely competent and run by experienced, intelligent historians who had published works and could speak multiple languages.
I always learn new things about US history from these Old West clips. Great content, as usual.
Thank you, we need more videos precisely like this. We are already repeating the past. Videos like this will save lives.
This is a great video. 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' by Dee Brown is a really great history book, with a great account of the apocalyptic Ghost Dance religious movement and how it spread among a scattered, destroyed people.
That's a military massacre, not the same thing as a "mass shooting", horrible as it is. There's very, very different contexts, circumstances, cultural and physical differences between them. They're really not comparable unless one is trying to make a point.
Well not really. By definition a mass shooting can be done by the military
The best production ever seeing
Keep doing so great job.
awesome video.
I recommend the book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West, the 1970 non-fiction book by American writer Dee Brown.
The great band Redbone also did an album and a song, called Wovoka - their fifth album, recorded in 1973.
Thank you for this video

As always Karl your presentations on the old west are fascinating to hear especially as here in England we only hear the sanitised tales of Hollywood.
Please keep telling the real stories.
The early scenes in the movie Hidalgo cover this, albeit in a bloodless manner.
How quickly we like to forget are history and pretend that there bad parts of it. Let no government erase your identity.
You learn something every day, thanks to InRangeTv for this awesome vid.
I like your history videos a lot. Also, I cannot help but compliment your hat.
Fucking heart breaking. Maximum respect to you, Karl, for keeping this history alive and relevant. Such atrocities should NEVER be forgotten, lest they occur again.
I never heard that the ghost dance was a non violent movement, thank you Karl talking about this subject.
This was a very, very educational video Karl, something I wish I was taught in school, or hell, even about WW1 or WW2. Sadly, we weren't even required to say the Pledge before my senior year ended. This was a wonderful written video, I don't knpw of you were reading a script you wrote on a telemonitor but this is good enough that In-Range needs to be on MilitaryTV here in America. Have you ever thought about reaching out to local, or State-wide broadcasting? Also, thank you.
Awesome video Karl!! Keep these coming!
Only knew about the wounded knee incident in 1973 thanks for shedding some light on this prior massacre Kar.
This was not easy to listen to, but thank you for reducing my ignorance of the subject.

Ohgr, (stubs out cigarette) haven’t thought about them in years. Glad to see they’re active and y’all run in similar circles.
Lions led by donkeys podcast recently did a short series on Little Big Horn. The biggest takeaway. A battle is when two sides show up to fight each other. Little Big Horn was an attempted massacre that backfired. Where Custer tried to ambush a nearby encampment but underestimated the size and veracity of the natives. To the point where Custer didn't believe there would be a fight, he thought they would simply run away because the government and its army did not believe the natives were even human
I love that podcast. Joe does a really good job with his research and attention to detail while keeping it as light as humanly possible without coming off like a dick.
As always great, insightful, empathetic content. Thanks Karl.
Wow, Karl, giving us some Skinny Puppy at the end was unexpected but amazing. Haven't listened to them much since the late 80s/early 90s (before their breakup), though tracks from Cleanse, Fold & Manipulate and ViviSect VI still play every few months at random on my playlists. Thank you so much for this vid, the history lesson, and getting in touch with SK for collab!

Karl, thank you as always for the history lesson. From Old West Vignettes onward, they've always been compact and straightforward, a welcome addition to the sources I follow.
Listen, I am part Lakota, and I think you've done a very good job conveying this history to people. I really appreciate what you did here. Keep up the good work my friend. I subscribed.
This is really important. Thank you for informing people
I don't remember who said it, but I really love this quote:
If you read a history book and then feel pride, you read propaganda. History is messy. You should want to be sick after reading history. Don't ignore that feeling, use it to make sure those events are never forgotten or repeated.
I talk about this event fairly often, there is something to be learned from history...
This was a very moving video, and thank you for sharing the song. I am not Native American and I do not know enough about their histories, but I am trying to learn more. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be presented a small sliver of hope, only for it to be crushed in a way that would echo throughout a continent and down generations... I will never understand, but that won't stop me from trying. And I will share what I learn with other people who also might not appreciate these histories, when appropriate. Judging by other comments made by people who might know a thing or two more than I, it seems like you really hit it out of the park with this video, Karl. Thank you very much for making half of it, and for sharing the song/video in the second half.
Excellent Karl love the vignettes it's always excellent quality informative content you put out

i think it doesn't matter if the gun of the worse mass shooting was done with a ar15 or a springfield... the question/debate is should civillians get access to military grade weaponry, the "well regulated" portion of the 2nd amendment means we should have regulations on gun ownership.
Imo
1) you should have to take a certification/safety course to safely operate a gun of the class you are tyring to buy. this should be a re-newable certification required every 5 years. (the military requires recertification every year, civilians do not need that level but imo you should not be allowed to own a gun you don't know how to safely store/operate.
2) you should have a delay to cool down between the desire to buy a gun and the aquiring of it... this means people who are PISSED about something can't just go walk to a walmart, buy a gun and go shoot people... a cool down period should be between 2-3 months. (For situations where someone absolutely NEEDS a gun without delay, you should be able to have a court order or police over-ride, like a girl who has an abusive bf who has threatened her life, or one is needed for your employment IE you're police or security.) she should be able to get a gun sooner so she can protect herself if she files with the police.
3) you should be REQUIRED to store your weapon safely, and if your gun is used in a mass shooting incident, or even self inflicted or accidental discharge in the home, you should be held liable if you didn't store it accordingly. sorry you can't just keep your gun unlocked and sitting around for the neighborhood teen to see and steal and use... You have a responsibility when you own that weapon.
None of these rules take peoples guns... all of them allow you to HAVE your weapons, yet we can't even get reasonable and rational gun laws passed because of the just sheer mental idiocy being shouted.
I am one that believes guns should be less available and harder to acquire but i understand my opinion is just one of Millions in this country, but we should be able to come together for some rules agreed on both sides, where neither side gets EVERYTHING THEY WANT but a happy middle, Those 3 rules i stated would be that happy middle.... so why can't we just all come together to safeguard ourselves and our children...
The thing we get into.. is when we talk about rational gun laws, and how widespread the mass shootings have become, yall throw in "but the worse mass shooting was by a different rifle not the AR platform" as if its a response to "hey can we pass some gun laws?"
...it...doesnt...matter.
Can we have some fuckin LOGICAL gunlaws?!
Wrong, "A well regulated *militia* being necessary to the security of a free state"; this clause is about keeping the federal army in check with state militia(s). They had just gained their independence from an oppressive state and you think they meant THAT? 🤔
shootings are down, media reporting of shootings has gone up 700%. the US government has killed infinitely more people than a man with a rifle could ever do, do not give them a monopoly on violence.
