"No way to prevent this" says the only country where this is a problem
+b zanon honestly...writing this comment from New Zealand, where our gun use is almost completely safe, and where we will continue to safely use guns while watching America fuck it all up
Onion
Writing this from Canada, where we have to deal with this shit coming up from our southern border. Maybe WE should build a wall.
Dummy: Mexico has far more gun homicides than the USA but LEGAL gun ownership is strictly limited. Guns are illegal in Brazil where they have among the highest gun homicide rate in the world. Switzerland has an extremely high gun ownership rate and very low gun crime statistics. If you remove the gun crime in major cities like Chicago, Detroit, Camden, Newark, Philly, Oakland, Baltimore, Saint Louis our gun homicide rates are on par with most Western European countries. Not that you'll actually research this....
@espada
you're a dummy
gunfree countries all over the world have 10 times less violent death by firearms than America on avg.
Of course,brazil and mexico have massive drug problems and 10's of millions under the poverty level,they are not considered the equivalent of a western modern civilized country like the us or countries in Europe.
you mix everything,typical illiterate american gun lover...
you're the only civilized country with a high gdp pro capita with this problem,ask yourself why genius...

Even if you are against gun control you should probably be concerned with how much influence a private organization (NRA) has over the government.
1. NRA gets triggered that a CDC-funded independent study gets media attention and revealed that the presence of a firearm in household increases risk of homicide. *FACT.*
2. NRA lobbies Republicunts to *DISBAND THE CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention* in 1996. *FACT.*
3. NRA successfully gets law enacted to PREVENT CDC from using funds that might lead to -- or promote the reality of -- a logical conclusion that gun control might be needed as a result of increased homicide risk from presence of a firearm in a household. *FACT.*
(It might be argued the Republican assholes who made the Dickey Amendment didn't make their wording clear on this, but anyone with half a brain can reach this conclusion.)
4. NRA successfully lobbies Republicunts in Congress to *cut $2.6 Million from the CDC budget*. THE EXACT AMOUNT THEY HAD DEDICATED THE PREVIOUS YEAR FOR FIREARM INJURY RESEARCH. *FACT.*
5. Firearm-homicide link researcher admits about federal workers at CDC: "no federal employee was willing to risk his or her career or the agency's funding". *FACT.*
www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2013/02/gun-violence.aspx
I know plenty of folks who are pretty damn Pro-2A, to include myself, who dislike the NRA for that reason.
Because the Left has lobbies just like it, that operate in similar ways.
DFX2KX please name a few of those left lobbies you talk about..
DFX2KX Literally the definition of "lobbyist" is people who try to influence legislation, so saying the left has lobbyists too is rather obvious and pointless.
The issue isn't that lobbyists exist. The issue is that the NRA is so powerful that they can literally influence the funding and capabilities of government agencies.
You should probably be even more concerned about Planned parent hood.
John Oliver didn't even have to do a new segment on it, they just reposted an old video. Nothing has changed, and everything in it is still accurate after all this time
BANA Nawal its not at all
Well... Weiner's going to have a little more trouble texting his junk.
I remember how the Onion sometimes does the same thing. They just change the names and numbers because it's always the same.
That's the scary thing. Nothing has changed.
BANA Nawal I didn't even realize it was old until your post.
America: "Gun ownership is a right, healthcare is a privilege"
The Civilized World: "Healthcare is a right, gun ownership is a privilege"
Precisely
They are both rights. Goverment doesn't pay for anyone's gun
Gun ownership is explicitly covered in the 2nd amendment of the United States constitution that's why it's a right.
And America happens to be the most powerful country in the world lol
jack mehoff It's a constitution, not Holy Scripture. It has been amended before, it can be interpreted differently, it can be improved.
Just realised the year Australia bought in revolutionary gun control is the same year USA banned funding researching gun safety.
also, Australia is a prime example of the fact that gun regulation works
And also literally the entire EU@@chl_ca
It took me some time to realize that this is an old episode.
It's amazing, isn't it? I thought it was about Parkland too - until 12 minutes in! This discussion is going to be had again and again as long Congress is owned by the CMC (Child Murdering Cunts, formerly NRA).
Thats the sadness of this ongoing situation and so called "debate"
John Chessant s
John Chessant, Same here. Unfortunately, this can be replayed every few months in the USA. :-(.....💔💔💔 for Parkman kids & others, I’ll be pushing my reps for action.
me too. its sad
It's kind of amazing to hear that people on terror watch lists AREN'T barred from buying firearms already.
YOu want amazing? Keep checking back on this comment thread as people keep watching it after each shooting. Its more than amazing, its like a paradoxical nightmare time loop (where nobody's trying to pork their own mom).
You'd think of all things republicans would support that
It violates the 5th amendment tho
@@sethpadakandla2797 No it doesn't.
@@sethpadakandla2797 you mean the second?
Does... Does American congress seriously vote orally as if it's the fucking nineteenth century?
They also "sent" their votes per state like its the 18th century. They would be able to count every vote but that would mean gerrymandering wasn't as effective.
Or just how Trump got elected despite more people voting for Hillary than him.
And if it were popular vote alone, the only thing that would matter would be appealing to highly-populated areas.
If it were "popular vote" it would be a democratic election, i.e. an election where the people decide the outcome rather than arbitrary geography and gerrymandering.
Thankfully, we're a republic, not a true democracy.
Popular vote is not fair to people who are not urban, or are not part of the (even slight) majority. Nor is it fair to small states. Which is why we don't have a popular vote. the views of small states and non-urban areas matter in an electoral system.
Unless every state had an equal population, and there was an equal split of all demographics, (urban, rural, etc) a popular vote wouldn't be fair.
Someone living in a high rise, or in a suburban area, for instance, probably won't care too much about whether pipelines and trains can just take people's land for their own. Because it won't affect them in any way.
Anyone else depressing themselves even more by watching this after Texas?
Nope, I'm depressing myself more by watching it after Tulsa. Lets keep the chain going, someone else leave the next one after mine, Im presuming before the month is out.
Yup
Yep, what's also fun is knowing that I was 14 when this released, I'm an adult now (18) and nothing has changed.
@@gofriskyourself-truepacife6025 oh I can beat that...millennial parents know 3 things for sure.
1. You had a fear that your school could be the next to join the world's worst club.
2. You thought that fear of a school shooting occuring after highschool (surely college!Surely!) Would be over and just an abstraction gut response like you'd have to any major tradegy. But instead you have that same fear only it's so much worse because it's for your own lil chunkers your sending off to school, with the very real possibility that that was the very last time you kissed your baby good bye...
3. You've had a front row seat for the last 2 + decades(3 really ....) To show us just how dedicated they are to making this clusterfuck a permanent tradition of American values, ALL WHILE running around like religiously fanatically chickens with their heads cut off, and have no, nor ever did have any intentions to changing quite literally anything.
“Here we are again” no truer words have been uttered 😩
10:05 and 10:40 - Oh my god are you serious? I can't be the only one who thought the "ayes" sounded noticeably louder in the first, and close enough to call for a closer vote in the second, but I guess they just let the moderator call it and that's the end of the vote? Is that really the way our government is run? That's one of the first thing that needs to change.
Why do they vote like this anyway ? Like, if I shout, does my voice count for three ?
Seriously, this video made me question how much I actually understand about how our government operates. And how effective it actually is, on basic levels like this one... I mean, this call up your congressman stuff?? That couldn't have existed when the country was formed. It had to have evolved as part of phones becoming something that most people have. But what did the government do before then to factor in public opinion? Nothing? Is the government even factoring in public opinion in the first place, or is that part just a modern illusion to make us feel like we can do something about it?
And if our opinion is supposed to factor in, why don't they set up an SMS service, where we can just have upcoming bill info sent to us and then we text how we feel about it, and it's stored in a computer? I mean, how has no one proposed such a thing in a serious manner if public opinion is supposed to matter?
I don't understand how they vote like that
Welcome to the realization of what bs like gerrymandering, self entitled guvernors and lobbyism does.
I once attended a vote about horse racing. The neighs were miscounted.
"If you want to see serious changes, you actually have to show up, every fucking day." - John Oliver 2017. I might put that on my wall
Black Knight not even doubting you but what's the proper way to search for that? Aside from "existing gun laws"?
OK, but that's wrong. he said this in 2016 after Orlando and hasn't mentioned Vegas. He'd rather attack trump needlessly every week.
"if you don't take these violent people of an alien culture that don't work and repeatedly try to kill you, then you'll like die and stuff because it's 2015!"
_~current year man_
it's fucking hilarious to me, the entire argument is "the year is X so you should do Y". It makes me wonder if John Oliver's script is written in crayon with doodles for the cues.
Black Knight oh ffs, there's a scale from not being allowed to eat ice cream and being starved to death from your parents... Use your brain.
They just reposted the one from the last shooting...that's more powerful than anything he could have said
Nothing has changed, so they might as well use it.
I'd still like to see a new clip by next Sunday. Come on, LWT.
Like the Onion article where they just change the location and number of victims.

The video is in part outdated. The part being the single word "Orlando".
Exactly nothing has changed except the name of the city people on facebook send their thoughts and prayers to.
This is a reupload I think, but yeah, nothing has changed.
Maybe that was the point.
It took me quite some time to notice that it was an old video
Holy shit I didn't even realize that. This just makes the whole situation even worse...
That was probably deliberate. The people behind this show are extremely savvy on the happenings.
Universal background checks and denying people that are on a terror watch list is reasonable. I don't understand why this is even a debate.
Because US congress are a bunch of scared rats who just wanna be reelected, instead of actually caring for the country and their people.
Because people want more than just that.
Because terror watch lists do not involve due process, you are essentially taking away someone's right because they brought nail clippers on there carry on, and all gun dealers are required do do a background check
dog guy flawed argument. yes the terror watchlist is a bullshit. I remember reading about a three year old banned from a flight because he shared the same name as a terrorist. but then we have a valid to actually fix how the watchlist is implemented instead of this half-assed thing we've got now. remember the watch list isn't set in stone. if we can require background checks and watchlist crossover, then we can fix the watchlist as well.
Because universal background checks aren't background checks and the terror watch list has five year olds on it.
It's a very sad state of affairs when it's this easy to just play a video from another shooting, remove the word "Orlando and replace it with "Las Vegas", and the video still applies.
That's one of the most insightful comments I've read here.

Ownership of guns is a constitutional right.

Because you aren't entitled to own either, but you have the right to own both. Anyone should be able to get health insurance if they can afford it, anyone should be able to buy a gun if they can afford it.

Just a reminder, this is a reupload from the Orlando shooting. The fact that it's still relevant is sickening.
he had bomb making materials also he would have killed without guns
So, just because someone has access to other materials, we should forget the whole thing and allow them to have access to every material?
Fact is, he didn't kill without guns. He used it because it was the easiest and most effective resource to utilize. I say, make the guy have a hard time learning how to make a ghetto bomb - everyone knows how to fire a gun already.
And it probably will still be relevant in four years :/
So, because someone can kill people by any means then concludes the point that.... we shouldn't bother trying to make it as difficult as possible for people to acquire said means? Shit, drug addicts go through any means to get high, but that doesn't change the fact that we regulate prescription drugs and what can be sold easily as over-the-counter. Right now, all guns are like over-the-counter medicine.
Some people complain about the tree while there is a whole forest around them. Incredible.
Techno Maestro Good to know--I was thinking, Orlando? What about Las Vegas!
Sorry, but why do government officials still use the "Aye" and "No" method? That's a seriously archaic and flawed way to tally votes.

+Shaggy The Geek "The red squares seem to have it"

@@TR0VEX. It actually might, because while there are successor groups they may not be nearly as united and well organized.
NO doubt you want to defund the police.
That counting system is definitely the most kangaroo court sort of system I have ever seen. So basically the person in charge just gets to decide regardless of what actual votes say.
I got stuck on that one too. what is even the point of voting for people if this is how they make decisions?
Every single time I watch this episode it always shocks me. To the point where I find myself saying something like, 'mother f**er, is this how you do government?!'
... and then I realise, 'oh, it's this episode again,' and feel bad about just how predictable I am 😬😬
It's called a 'voice vote' and congressional committees use it for the sake of efficiency---and because it's relatively anonymous. Your colleagues might know how you voted but your constituents are far less likely to find out. But if 1/5 of the committee disagrees with the chair's call, they will conduct a recorded roll call vote and get the exact number of ayes and nos. I assume that must have happened for at least some of these examples.

"What's worse is that you might need it in a month or two."
We don't _need_ it at all. The cynic in me notes that this was not someone who "just snapped." He took days to bring guns in unnoticed. This was a planned operation. The only question is for what purpose. This could have been engineered to get people to support gun control.
@John: Do you really think the point of Las Vegas was to make people support gun control? o.O Don't get me wrong, you're right about this not being an impulsive act - but seriously.. (And doesn't the majority support at least some sort of control anyway already?)
John Undefined, that's a good observation. It takes time to bring in that many weapons and nobody would bring that many to a hotel room for no reason other than to do what he did.
Your idea that it could have been engineered to get people to support gun control sounds extremely ironic. As if some guy thought "the best way to prevent mass shootings is to commit mass shooting", it's just ridiculous.
And yet, it happened again. Sad day in USA@ El Paso, TX/Dayton, OH.

It's sad that this video was made a year ago and is still relevant, and its sadder that even 8 years ago it would've still been relevant.
But what's the saddest thing is it's probably still gonna be relevant 20 years from now. The NRA is so deep in our politicians pockets, its gonna take a lot of effort to get them out of Congress.

You're right everyone who doesn't agree with me should just die unless they happen to be in a position where they haven't already been shot, can shoot the attacker, and the attacker has run out of bullets.
Referring to Lamashtu. Country Music is predominantly a red state thing, so okay.....'tard. Also, Las Vegas is great proof of one thing. Great self defense, guns. All those Republicans sure returned fire effectively and showed that guy.....oh wait.
Here's an idea: use the NRA's info against them; find out when and where legislation will be debated and go and contribute to the debate and help it pass.
Take away every gun and replace them with swords and have open carry. If you want to kill someone you have to fight them face to face. Not to mention the people around you that will attack you.
Lol Wut

Josh Korte king David killed 1000s with a sword. Sal or someone killed in the 10,000s. Of course these happened in wars, but my point is that won't do anything.
Lmfao they just legalized swords and daggers in Texas.
Yeah.... I don't know what universe you live in, but if I see a dude with a sword, I don't plan on fighting him.
I plan on walking the opposite way. Away, away, away.
The only way I would fight the swordsman is if I have a gun. But of course, no guns, so....

Canadians would never do a mass shooting. Too many people to say sorry to afterwards.
I live in a country that has very strict gun laws (You need to pass a background check to legally obtain a gun and show that there is a necessity for you to own one, i.e. because you're a hunter, as well as undergo training to obtain a licence to purchase firearms) and I don't think that that calliber of gun laws will ever pass in the US, due to cultural differences.
However, you'd think that it would be common sense that people have to have a clean criminal record and undergo some basic gun safety training before being allowed to own one. Nothing too restrictive, just the equivalent of a driver's license for guns. Will it completely stop gun violence? Of course not, since the amount of violent crime in the US goes deeper than every idiot being allowed to purchase a gun. But it would, at the very least, reduce it.
One of the best videos yet. Using the Planet Fitness analogy of "to see results you must show up every day." to talking to your congressman every day about the Dickey Amendment was fantastic.
*stares down at my Planet Fitness memebership*
Damn, John. I felt that.
C’mon kids, we can’t even get research to prevent gun violence.
“A group of wily bastards that somehow convinced us we need to live indoors like a bunch of nerds.” Well, now we’re living inside like a bunch of people in a pandemic.
What is different now than it was when this video first came out?
It’s sad I thought oh yeah Orlando shooting I forgot about that. Because there is too many
"Murders occur every year, obviously murder control laws are useless and should be done away with." - Republican logic when it comes to gun control and health care; if it's not going to be perfect we shouldn't even try.
Grandsome Republicans are trying to fix healthcare. Just look at Rand Paul.
All the time they say there's no data yet they're the ones who prevent research with how much nra bribes them. See that fking list of how many gop senators or congress got paid to keep doing whatever nra wants.
It's like you dipshits have never heard of a truck bomb.
Jesus christ. Yes, we've heard of truck bombs. But how many people die of truck bombs in the western world each year? Far fewer than those that die by gunshots.
Well. there are laws that make truck bombs illegal. And very few of them happen, so it must be working ok.
Why would any sensible person be against background checks? Or any checks of competence?
Are they afraid they wont pass because they're incompetent with a gun?
You should be forced to pass an obesity check before buying a burger, then. That thing is 10x as deadly as any firearm.
Harambe fine then if I really want the burger I'll diet lose weight and the pass the test, as in you know follow the proper steps!
Most Serious Duelist Eating burgers isnt a right, owning guns is.
That's cute, but it would more akin to not being able to pass obesity check if you once were obese, to make it more comparable to gun background checks.
*CONCERN TROLL ALERT* you don't care about obesity. you're just using it as a weak prop to back your shitty argument. Besides; YOU eating a burger isn't likely to kill an innocent bystander. your comparison doesn't work on any level.
Now the Uvalde shootings, worth a rewatch indeed, again and again, & again, ...again.
Tis an oldie Goldie
Yep
Yes Flame. Hence why Dante called it an "oldie Goldie".
that's his point. this issue isnt a flavour of the month deal. he will keep reminding people of this again and again
There's no reason to do a new one but Las Vegas probably spurred a rerun
He hasn't been reminding people - but I think this was in response to the Vegas shooting, since you can basically translate the same situation from Orlando to it, but with a higher death toll.
RUclips brought me here again after the recent Texas school shooting..
Four years on and the same problems and excuses.
As an outsider looking in, (I'm from Scotland), I just can't get over the power the NRA have over the government. It amazes me that in this day and age we still hear about mass shooting sprees and the fact nothing gets done about it. We had the Dunblane Primary School shooting in 1996 and that was enough to lead to change. Common sense prevailed and we haven't had small children slaughtered by a piece of shit with a gun since then. We have terrorists bombing us and trying to tear our nation apart, but we don't have mass shootings - enough is enough, surely the people can see the need for gun control?
You know its bad when John Oliver makes an episode out of schedule
João Fernandes its old....
Orlando shooting ( happened last year); not the Las Vegas one !
it's not out of schedule, it's an old episode of Orlando shooting, that has become topical again
João Fernandes This is a re-posting of an episode that followed the mass-shooting in Orlando.
João Fernandes he’s talking about Orlando! It’s an old episode silly
Sad this video is still relevant
The onion keeps reposting the same article too.
I know. Why can't people learn that this wouldn't have prevented the shooting in las vegas?
Lukaaz you act like it's decades old
Justin Tee a video on current events shouldn't be still be current over a year later.
TheAwesomeG All we went is a sensible debate about gun control. It's not all or nothing, we need to debate to come to a middle ground that protects people who want to hunt or whatever and people who just don't wanna die.
It's a repost, but it's not the first time they're reuploaded a video that recently became a lot more relevant.
more relevant because more deaths, sad.
Octuplex best part is, John Oliver has more subs than the NRA has supporters
Octuplex pretty scummy
Time to repost again T.T
So... run this again but change out the names every couple days?
Well-timed re-upload
Rohit G they re uploaded cause of how relevant it is
Rohit G
I
It still works well. I remember reading somewhere that The Onion runs the same exact article every time one of those shooting happens. They just change the location, amount of people killed, and a few other minor things.
You're a moron.
When was the original?
I’m British and 17, my whole life has been influenced by acts of terror and mass shooting, and yet every time I hear of one on the news I become less and less effected. I’ve become so use to seeing acts of terror on the news whether in be Paris, London, Manchester, Orlando or Las Vegas I’ve become numb, I remember sitting and crying while watching the Paris shootings in 2015, but since then multiple more attack’s have happened. I’ve found myself becoming less and less personally effected with each event. In Britain we don’t have guns so the idea of a mass shooting occurring seems far away, which technically it is, but all countries suffer attacks at there own citizens hands, so my thoughts and prayers are with the families today. But I don’t understand why nothing is changing, my generation are becoming use to acts of terror on the news each and every year - and yet nothing has changed. In Britain after the 1996 Dunblane massacre guns were more highly regulated and since we’ve had no mass shooting, in America in the last 2 years thousands have died due to gun violence, and I’m not American so
I don’t understand the constitution and the gun laws, but each day people are losing family members to unneeded gun violence. I shouldn’t be use to mass shootings cause they shooting occur at the rate they do. So while I hope but doubt that this event will cause change my prayers are with the families who have lost people due to this unneeded act.
prayers are useless, they wont do anything. and people are idiots. thats why nothing is changing. didnt you read the other comments out here? more than half of those who argue against gun control here deserve to be killed by one if you ask me, but the thing is they wont. and because of idiots, innocents die
If you watch the movie Brazil you'll find the same feeling of apathy on the face of terror, funny how old movies point out problems in our society before they are actually aparent...
Luis Carlos Cala I was going to say it reminded me of Brazil. That's a pretty disturbing thought actually, that our mental state reminds us of a dark, dystopian, phycological comedy.
Because of Evil. It's very simple. But laws don't change that, as you've witnessed in your life. So people don't want to be restricted. Simple. No need to over think it (and you're only 17, it's natural to start to not care about the entire world (it's vastly larger than you can imagine))
Amy Simpson - The answer is not simple, but the main cause is fear. A lot of people in the US fear their neighbors. Many live in fear from the government or from others trying to shoot them. Only people who are frightened by someone or something feel the need to defend and run around armed. So when people get mentally unhinged may it be rage or even a mental condition they use a gun.
It's relevant again :'(
mujerforalibre Seems so
No it's not.
It's relevant every single day. You just don't hear about the shootings that involve less than 10 people.
Dan Fernandez parkland shooting.
it's relevant all the time, dude

Back here again in 2022. And I've no doubt people will be coming back to it for years to come! America is fucked.
Why is America fucked?
4 years ago...
It’s awful that we’ve got to the point where the statement “the recent shooting” does not narrow down to what year it could be. This video is 5 years old, and this video could work even today without mentioning the location of the shooting.
If you take away guns how will I change the channel, or open a beer, or get the cat down from the roof.
Or scratch my eyebrow

I appreciate this reference, Paul!
John Oliver was right that the NRA doesn't spend so much lobbying, but missed the huge amount that the NRA spends in fighting specific opponents during political campaigns--millions of dollars!.
+Sharon Alexander It was weird that John focused on the NRA members, when the real problem is the gun manufacturers and their funding of the NRA leadership and political campaigns.
klondike444 are you an American? Do you know why the second amendment was written?

Glad you uploaded this again
lotrdude13
Better reupload again... I gotta feeling somehow that this is gonna happen again
Why are you glad he's profiting off of a mass shooting?
What's the difference between an "assault rifle" and a regular rifle?
Lmao, any video about anything Oliver uploads will get the same viewership. He will profit regardless. What you just said was irrelevant, he is talking about issues that need to be discussed... I would rather him talk about issues that need to be talked about and make money than to talk about garbage issues and still make money.
But this video has no monetisation. How does he profit?
Wow I saw this after El PASO and Ohio shootings. RIP those who lost their lives.

Oh look, this video is relevant again. 18 school shootings so far in 2018.
I'm here (again) because of that, too. My condolences to all the families who suffer from Americas ridiculous approach to Guns. Best wishes from Germany
Appreciate that Peter. Hopefully we can vote out every Congressman (or woman) that has been bribed by the NRA, and actually do something to protect our children over here. Best wishes to Germany as well!
Couple of things - The 2nd amendment was created in 1791, 150 years before Hitler. It had nothing to do with anything he did. If you have evidence to the contrary, please show it, but I could find nothing linking the 2nd Amendment in any way to Hitler's actions. It was created so that the people of the US could defend themselves against the government, but it's based on a world that looked much different than ours does today. Imagine creating a law today that is expected to manage weapons created 230 years from now. It's ludicrous.
Even so, I (and most other people pushing for reasonable gun laws) are not attempting to destroy the 2nd Amendment. We simply want to make it more difficult for untrained 19 year olds with mental health issues and well known racist behavior to obtain assault rifles.
@ Nate Dawg I'm amazed by your stupidity
If germany had an equivalent of the second amendment the holocaust wouldn't have happened. " It was created so that the people of the US could defend themselves against the government, but it's based on a world that looked much different than ours does today." Right, and modern governments are far more terrifying than anything the founding fathers could have imagined.
Relevant once again. Anything gonna change? God I fucking hope so.
I am a member of the NRA yet this sickens me. bear in mind i am only a member cause I enjoy shooting guns as a sport and i have to be a member to exercise that sport at my local gun range. if it really comes down to it, if the only way to keep the world safe is to give up my guns i will. Gun violence is a serious issue that NEEDS to be investigated in full and if you are an NRA member who opposes that notion then you are a fool plain and simple. its not just cause there is a fully justifiable reason to study thus issue, its also because if you oppose this you WILL get run over by the bus of social change at some point. the difference is is that when that bus comes through (and it WILL come through) the difference between people being able to keep their guns and everyone loosing that privilege rests on the shoulders of what you do now. will you be responsible with that privilege or not? if you really do think guns are a RIGHT then fuck you and the horse you rode in on. it is, and always has been, a privilege.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the *right* of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
THANK YOU for being the first sane gun owner I've ever met who acknowledges that owning a metal death machine is not a God-given right.
@@Nippleless_Cage Throughout history, the right to keep and bear arms (which were typically swords before firearms) was reserved only for the nobility. The founders of the United States had a different vision, one where there was no nobility, where all men are created equal, where we the people have the means to alter or abolish the government should it become destructive to our unalienable rights.
The founders themselves didn't live up to their own standards, but that doesn't mean they aren't good ones.
@@Nanofuture87 The founders probably didn't envision a country where people exercising the right to bear arms break into a school and shoot a bunch of innocent children, though. Or into a club and shoot up a crowd of innocent people. And if reality is so fundamentally different to their vision, maybe, just maybe, the laws that enable that reality should be changed.
Watching this in 2018, don't even know which shooting it's about, there's been so many...
There have not
Name three of them
Events:
58 killed - October 1, 2017 - In Las Vegas, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, sprays gunfire on a crowd of 22,000 concertgoers from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, killing 58 people and injuring almost 500. Witnesses say the gunshots last between 10 and 15 minutes. Officers breach Paddock's hotel room to find him dead. Authorities believe Paddock killed himself and that he acted alone.
49 killed - June 12, 2016 - Omar Saddiqui Mateen, 29, opens fire inside Pulse, a gay nightclub, in Orlando. At least 49 people are killed and more than 50 are injured. Police shoot and kill Mateen during an operation to free hostages officials say he was holding at the club.
32 killed - April 16, 2007 - Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. A gunman, 23-year-old student Seung-Hui Cho, goes on a shooting spree killing 32 people in two locations and wounding an undetermined number of others on campus. The shooter then commits suicide.
27 killed - December 14, 2012 - Sandy Hook Elementary School - Newtown, Connecticut. Adam Lanza, 20, guns down 20 children, ages six and seven, and six adults, school staff and faculty, before turning the gun on himself. Investigating police later find Nancy Lanza, Adam's mother, dead from a gunshot wound.
Only a few from a shockingly large list i found online
Also in 2018 alone there have been 18 school shootings
Andrew Walsh don't you think it's wierd that of those 17 other "school shooting" the total number of homicides is 4?
Isn't this an old clip?
It's still relevant.
Yes it's from last year.
And yet nothing has changed, except the mass shooting location
Yes, for some reason it seems relevant again (still).. 🤔
DabIMON Not much has changed since the first time it happened
I have a strong feeling this will turn into a fun comment section in about 12 hours.

Too late.
"Let's stand still, I like our chances."
I see a lot of people against Democrats and Liberals. Not all of us are completely opposed to guns, I am a Democrat/Liberal myself and am not against guns. Look, we just want tighter laws to cut back on shootings. Yes, in the right hands, guns save lives. I am not denying that. However, if the gun shops slip up, that could end up in another shooting. I want to see this country keep succeeding, but the NRA is holding us back due to laws they put in order. Of course the NRA can keep existing, but it needs to have some power taken away. It’s a little too easy to get a gun these days.
nickrockxu and if there were stricter gun laws in America maybe your children nevertheless would’ve fucking been killed
nickrockxu guns dont murder kids, bad people do, why don't we ban bad people instead?
Here here. There is nothing wrong with ratcheting up those gun laws. Safety lessons should be mandatory and no one diagnosed with mental illness should get their hands on a firearm.
Alex Perdue how?
Nate Dawg because we can't ban people, we can take away their implements of murder though.
I live in Australia, and that is the point I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA. No guns on the streets, no guns in the schools, no. guns anywhere. As far as I can see and hear is stupid is what stupid does.
As African gangs rise, or China invades you’ll wish we had guns
The most loudest and most obnoxious voice is the one that's heard, not necessarily the right ones. Speak up for the greater good, and yes, that means beyond yourself.
We should heavily police black neighborhoods then, most of the violent crime comes from there.
Oh wait, that's racist.
Your attention is being diverted for purposes of Social Engineering.
You are being Socially Engineered.
@Harambe That makes no sense whatsoever. How does that relate to loud voices being heard or speaking up for the greater good? Besides, black neighborhoods ARE heavily policed; at least in the two cities I have lived in.
+Corin Dennison Learn to think. Read Harambe's comment again.
two thirds of all gun deaths in America are suicides. only difference with Paddack is he chose to kill others rather than just himself. We have a mental heath problem NOT a gun problem. if you help improve mental health you help more than just mass shootings- you help prevent suicides, homicides, rape, violent altercations etc. you try to pass gun control laws not only will they not work they WILL make America less safe. the shear number of guns in America means that anyone who wants a gun can find one.
Liberals are retards, they favor ending the "war on drugs" because it hasn't worked but they want a "war on guns"
Mexico has very very s stricked gun control where it is not legal for citizens to own fire arms- over 100,000 people died in drug cartel violence in the late 00's people literally could not go out of there homes becase armed gangs ran the streets.
oh look! this video is relevant again. great job 'murica!
Steven Deaville
Citation please. I want to use this too.
If you think Americans are okay with the way things are now, you’re sheltered.
Jack Brennan they do get blamed. They all face punishment in a courtroom and are sent to jail. (If they didn’t kill themselves). Now lets focus on preventing these things so we wouldn’t have to hate another shooter every week.
Uhm.... agian and again and again
@@jackbrennan1125
No, the person is to blame.
But if it were harder to buy guns, not every fucknut would have one, for example a school shooter

Asteroid should hit any day. lol
old episodes, but because its relevancies to the current event i think they re upload it

It's hump day mah boi
Anyone else thinking we need to sign up for the nra mailing list so we hear about this stuff and have a chance to contact our representatives in favor of gun control? 🤔

We're in the middle of a pandemic that has claimed almost 135,000 US citizens.
And we've still surpassed 2013 and 2014 for mass shootings in a single year. If numbers continue on trend (284 mass shootings in 191 days, average of 1.48 shootings a day), we will surpass 500 mass shootings by the end of the year. Beating last year's record by over 100 shootings.
400k *+*
Hm, I gotta say, that system of voting I see right here seems a little unclear... "Yeah they seem to have it" dafuq? Why dont you just count raised hands or something? Seems way more accurate and not really a lot longer timewise...
Hence the disappointment by John Oliver and the audience.
2022, NOTHING HAS CHANGED
