@@bootsontheground9998 Do you understand what shooting means ? Killing unarmed people. Police and military have guns. Chicago has a high crime state, not a shooting problem.
Remember that we do not get over things- we work through them. I too hope that Dylan works through what he has experienced and knows that he has purpose and insight.
i can’t even imagine the trauma he faces with surviving two mass shootings. i honestly don’t even think that’s something a person can get “over” really, especially knowing it can happen again by just going out in public :(
it will take time and work for his situation to better. he may never even ‘get over it’ completely. but yes, hopefully he has gotten help that has been helped it get as better as possible.
would love to see a conversation like this between people from different countries. as a singaporean, this entire conversation is actually insane because i’ve never ever seen an actual gun before in my whole entire life but i still feel extremely safe walking around alone at night
There you’re answer your not an American so worry about your country and stop sticking your nose into other country business. Because you egotistical clowns are gonna say “well my country has this” or “ban it because I’m offended”. So please sh*t up
I am an American born and raised. Growing up I was a supporter of Gun Control. There was a time when I believed that no one needed an AR-15 my Dad took me to the range and we shot his new AR. I then learned more about it and gun control's history the statistics and my opinion changed. I am a 2nd Amendment advocate for all not just citizens of the United States, but for everyone.
I heard that even pepper spray is banned in Singapore because it can also be used as a weapon. I did know somewhat that Singapore is considered safe but not that safe. Which I think is cool and life is so much more enjoyable without the fear of getting shot everywhere at any given moment. I am from Croatia and my country is pretty safe too. It was even named alongside Slovenia to be one of the safest places at night...especially for women, which is dope. And as a woman I can agree. I can walk in the middle of the night alone without fear...well the only thing I could be afraid of is the darkness itself xD
As a brazilian, I don't feel safe at all, even if it's illegal to own a gun in my country. Criminals still have them and there are still mass shootings at schools all the time. People can't help but feel frustrated that bad guys can use them and all you can do is scream and run, or be really still and allow them to do whatever they want with you.
Hayden’s point about how he doesn’t think a teacher would be able to shoot one of their own students is so powerful and something I really had not thought of before
This is my point of view as well. I have talked to people about the inability of a teacher to end the life of a student when their whole purpose is to help the students create a great life. Im glad he said it because it is a great point and I was worried it would be missed.
Yeah but it's a fallacy, the personal incredulity fallacy. Honestly, arming teachers just creates more problems than it solves. You have to train them, ensure that the guns are safely put away, do background screening, etc. Also, there's also the fact that even trained policer often have troubles identifying the suspect in these shooting.
Damn that guy who's been through two shootings. I can't even imagine the amount of pain he's experienced. I hope he's doing ok. That's extremely terrifying.
Imagine a country where to feel safe going to the movies or supermarket you need to carry a gun because you're afraid of other people who have guns. It's actually hilarious
@@erinnn5790 well if that's how you feel living in the US I really feel sorry for you. In my entire life I've never been worried about having a gun pulled on me or being shot. And I'll go hunting a couple of times a year with friends where we use rifles etc.
@@Both-Barracuda I don’t really worry about Guns being pulled out on me or being shot. More so being physically attacked (with no weapons), being kidnapped, or raped. If I had a gun, no crazy person would be able to lol
@@Both-Barracuda i didnt own a gun until the riots started. I drive through a major city for work, when the protests started i seen people being assualted in the streets and in their vehicles. I bought a gun to have while im on the road. Recently meth has been a growing issue in my community, so i got another one for the home. I have a family, im in the mountains, it could be a 5, 15, 25 minutes before police arrive and i may not have that kind of time to wait. On top of that we have bears so yea.
I carry a gun so I'm more likely to have the one up on someone else who threatens to harm me, myself or my property that Ive slaved to have. It's about preservation. Preservation of my life and it's associated happiness and comfort. Anyone that wants to try and take that should think twice. Anybody who would allow another person to take what they work hard for are losers in my opinion.
I hate the mentality of "if someone was nicer to the shooter he may not have done it". 1. That's victim blaming 2. Improving Mental Health is more than just being nicer to people.
I think that perspective. It’s true but I would say that it can help. I think it a lot more complex. I think of it as a cause and effect. There so many factors that would come of it. I think people bring it up because they feel like at one point their mental health should not have gone to that state that they would do something horrific. Also people want to have a reason to understand how something like this could have happen.
how's that victim-blaming? most school shooters have been bullied, it doesn't justify it, however in a lot of scenarios a lot could have been done by the person's community that would have prevented it. it's just the truth.
@@katinkaaa2951 it’s victims blaming because most of the time the victims don’t even know who the shooter is or what their reason is. It just implies that it’s the victims job to be nice to stop shootings when in reality mental health is so much more than that. And I know it’s not what they mean but no ones deserves to die just because they didn’t know it was someone’s birthday.
The fact that women was laughing and said that shooting gun is fun beside mass shooting survivors especially the one who survived twice is mind boggling
Kalei Porter if you live in America, I’m sorry but I think your country is way too divided for this to change. Gun crime is an accepted norm in your country and therefore people think they need guns to protect themselves, leading to more intentional and unintentional shooting deaths, cycle continues..
I personally think that no change (or minimal) is needed on that subject, but I do agree with you that jubilee is doing a good job by not shying away from these topics and these are subjects that need to be talked about.
I have a massive feeling that she was trying to "sell" the idea of guns to him, I have seen similar questions and tactics used before for this purpose. The next thing she would have asked would be something to the affect of "imagine if you hada gun too" or "do you wish that someone in the crowd had a gun to stop the shooter", I have seen it before.... it's sick tbh. It's what thay offen do, they play of "what if" in order to use a warped image of hindsight. "What if the shooter was not the only one with a gun?" This one is a fan favorite of theirs, it's like a broken record at this point.
It’s not a matter of feeling safe, it’s a matter of being safe. Security theatre like metal detectors, or gun laws are just illusions, and dangerous ones
So if your government decided that all of their constituents need to do this or that and came into your neighborhood and started taking your neighbors to do that by force what would you do?
She was clearly pushing her agenda. What was she hoping, that he would say "Oh yeah I wish I had a gun on me so I could take him down myself"? That made me angry
Yeah I was shocked too, I just new that she was going in that “if you had a weapon at that time you could have defend yourself” direction and that is just not right
@@avaginsberg3871 many survivors want to abolish guns so that the shooting is less likely to happen. But others want their own, to "equalize" the scenario, so that they aren't helpless. And, truth be told, choosing not to purchase a gun for self defense isn't going to be too influential so why not feel more in control? I feel it's an accurate depiction of the spectrum of shooting survivors.
As a non American I came out with a conclusion that white NRA supporters want their guns to protectect themselves from black NRA supporters and vice versa
@@tuhhss no its not. canada and switzerland has a high number of gun owners its completely legal there to own almost every kind of gun you can in america. the difference between these countries and america is they make it harder for the gun to get into the wrong hands and don't idolize guns like americans. there's a way to allow your law abiding citizens to have guns to defend themselves and not let every psychopath have easy access to them as well.
@@punology6829 I think there's also a difference in the mentality between the US and Switzerland for example. Europeans aren't obsessed with guns and therefore just a few actually own one.
punology ah no no no, I said the RIGHT to own a gun not the legality of it. Many countries you are legally allowed to own a gun but ONLY in the US is it a RIGHT.
William Maddux and so? It used to be a right to owned slaves but you changed that. Frankly it just feel like a big excuse to say that you have those guns to defend yourself or because it’s a right when in reality its seems pretty obvious even from this video that people just wants to keep guns especially assault rifles because they like them.
@@thevigilant6884 controled? what? in no other place on earth other than america are school shootings normalised, you guys there in america have a serious problem with guns, in my country, guns are only legal for people who need them for their jobs and everyone is doing fine without a gun, where does yalls obsession with guns come from?
@a disappointment "Guns are cool and fun. They represent power. Gov't trying to take our firearms. This is the USA! USA! Better than every country on the planet. We are freedom, and it cant exist anywhere else." Not me saying this btw. Welcome to USA America.
@T K but why? Who cares what we Americans have to say? Why does it matter that other people can ask us questions or not? I dont see a point to it whatsoever
Oscar the point is exactly that the societies in other countries is extremely different. I think it would be interesting to see if some of the Scandinavian ways could give another perspective on this topic when compared to America. I also think people (like myself), from a non-violent country, with no sight of a gun, have a lot to say - that could add to the topic. And yes, the show is “based on America’s social phenomena” but it is viewed by subscribers all over the world and this could increase the number of viewing countries even more.
@Oscar It's about introspection. It is essential to see yourself in a way you probably hadn't considered before, hear how other people do things, to be able to evaluate yourself. The way others perceive us can tell us a lot about ourselves. I think not wanting to self-evaluate and not wanting to expand their worldview are honestly the biggest flaws Americans have.
Not living in the US and hearing them say that everybody knows someone that has experience something related to gun violence... NO, absolutely no, and that's the problem, normalizing something that shouldn't be and isn't normal at all in other countries.
@@carrielee1624 Most people who own firearms in a hyper liberal area wont tell you. Unless you're a part of that community or show interest will they show themselves.

That kid in the grey sweater is an absolute Chad. He understood that both sides have reson, was honest with his biases, and took action to protect his classmates while also keeping tabs on the situation.
As a person who lives in Chicago Heather is being slightly inaccurate. There are shootings on the weekends (unfortunately), but they are not mass shootings. Plus I don't care for her throwing poor community under the bus to make her point. And before u disagree watch that segment again, its implied.
Carlos Owens How can you say that that is not that bad!! The fact that even one person has to die because of mass shootings in America is bad and it won’t be bad until the number is zero
the man in the red cap said “i imagine most people watching have experienced that” (losing someone to gun violence). i have never because i live in ireland. ive never experienced it and i never will and i will never have to worry about it and that makes me greatful.
I’m jealous of that ability to be so sure that your safe from mass shootings. Just a few weeks ago, at a mall near me that I go to often, a guy went and shot several people. At school, I’m scared that one might happen. In the first week of clases, I always look around my new classrooms and think of a plan to escape if there were to be a shooting in there. Mass shootings are so common in the US. It’s sad :(
Hope A. i couldn’t imagine walking around school or even a shop and thinking like how can i escape if someone were to try shoot me or around me like it’s so surreal to me that these are the things people live with every day
i live in nyc and havent experienced it either but people are always going to be killed no matter where you are. humanity is flawed and many times unreasonable and unpredictable.
Yeah, I'm from Ireland too and I am so grateful. I know whenever I go to the States I will be terrified because I know there is an actual, real-life chance of it happening. I can't even imagine going to school there
I love how he isn't anti-gun after all that. So many people would hop on that band wagon these days. Nice to see him seeing it from a healthier perspective.
Its not so much the gun as it is the right to own the gun. If one amendment is jeopardized then every other amendment has lost its barrier and everything the constitution stands for is at risk of being changed or damaged. Like a flood gate, if one falls, the entire thing is going to come down.
@@c.j2138 the word "amendment" specifically means change. Our Founding Fathers created the Cosntitution with the knowledge that it was imperfect... that is why we have amendments. No where did the men who wrote that document assume it was perfect... they designed it to change as it needed to for the continuation of our society. I feel people who don't see that only have a very basic understanding of history and our government.
@@robtheeducator8230 and in order to change that you need 2/3rds of states and/or 2/3rds of both houses of congress. But you never try starting there so...

This was a level headed convo but everyone was so concerned with stepping on each other's toes It seemed people weren't fully truthful with how they felt.
@Ann Rohde It wasn't. It was people who had survived mass shootings and people who were gun enthusiasts having a discussion. Stop trying to warp the title. Not everyone that has survived or been affected by a mass shooting is anti-gun.
I like how they keep saying “being more kind” would help with the mental health crisis... I mean that’s a real lack if understanding as to what mental health issues really look like, and the depth of them.
@@RachelDee That's a really neat organization, Rachel. Thank you so much for sharing it! I especially like the idea that the participating stores offer the service of holding an owner's gun temporarily if the owner feels it might be safer at that time.
The kid who shot up my school had friends. There were people who were nice to him. But he still chose to go through with his plan. It’s not just about being nice to these people. He had easy access to guns when he turned 18 and he took advantage.
@@riddlebergerbrothers26 Not necessarily the main factor. What about an abusive childhood? Trauma? Other sociopathic or psychopathic disorders? Sometimes even depression because of finances and poltics could make someone go insane.
This is so heartbreaking to see. The survivors are all shaken, just trying to manage day to day life after this traumatic event. NRA members manipulating them, and trashing them over these things is disgusting. Lost any ounce of respect I had for this group of people.
how would we be preventing these mass shootings… we can’t magically look into the future. also don’t bring up “banning guns” or “making guns harder to own” because laws don’t stop criminals it’s literally in the definition of “criminal” and someone with a motive will not be stopped by laws. when there’s evil, you fight it with a proactive response, there is no such thing as a preemptive strike in this scenario.
@@krishbhayani6560 you can’t say that because you don’t know what an America with a ban on guns look like. But we see what an America with guns looks like…
I had to replay that back at 2:49 ....did he just say he was a *two time* mass shooting survivor...as in he’s been in those situations TWICE?! I really hope not 😥
I hate the whole “be nicer to ppl” argument when it comes to school shootings. It should not be the responsibility of children to talk to someone to avoid getting killed. What ppl dont realize is most of the times these shooters arent the victims theyre the bullies. A lot of the time nobody talks to them because theyre actual unpleasant people with issues who are mean, racist, violent, etc.
Yet you're not getting if kids aren't being "nice" to their peers they are responsible. I been in school fightings to where girls pulled out knives. Since they didn't respect each other. You cannot isolate people and think they're gonna change, nah they're gonna snap.
I wish we could make all school smaller. Kids get lost in these huge schools. It's impossible for staff to target kids that need that extra attention. I don't think it will happen because it would cost cities too much money to build and staff.
They honestly need to have metal detectors or search anyone for weapons before entering. Use local cops or if possible ex military. Every other public venue screens for weapons. Public venue meaning airports,sporting events, concerts, airports, government offices,etc.
@Ésteban Universidad Yet people constantly complain about social issues but refuse to be nice. They're causing their own problems. If you treat people like crap don't be surprised when they snap. This goes for everybody kids, admins, their parents and teachers. If you see a child slipping through the cracks don't let'em fall.
That's easier said than done though. Why didn't Hayden say happy birthday to that school shooter? Well he probably just didn't know. They were classmates but not friends. Are you gonna go out and record everyone's birthday just to be nice then? People do need to be nicer to each other ofc. But how do you foster a genuine connection when socializing isn't that easy? There's social norms at play, there's ways to make friends. Sometimes somebody gets dealt a bad hand, the timing isn't right, they don't have friends, and before you know it they're spending a birthday alone. That alone might make their mental health deteriorate. But if that person were to do a school shooting as a result, you can't prevent that simply by being nicer. Making genuine connections with people is hard. And kids should be allowed to naturally form friendships, they shouldn't be worried that the one loner they were mean to that day might commit a school shooting. Also, I think it was the FBI that did some research and found out that bullying isn't common amongst school shooters but a personal loss in their family or friends is.
@@mooominpapa I agree with everything except the being mean to someone and they are going to shoot you. You shouldn't be mean without expecting an eye for an eye, you ever heard of the song pumped of kicks, but yes the thing about the fbi and stuff was great too!
nice kid but he's in la la land. theres too many cruel people on this earth. we know many arent going to be nice. if said crazy perso ndidnt have a gun to begin with, then theres no mass shooting. only america has this problem. the whole world has mental issues but u dont see mass shootings like u do here in america.
Papa Moomin ya i agree. i get what you are saying, but there have been many reports of people (mainly teachers) being aware that students (who turned out to be school shooters) are not mentally okay and chose to dismay it. if people didn’t dismay stuff like that, school shootings would decrease. the florida shooting that happened a few years ago, my cousin used to be neighbors with the dude who did it. he told me he always knew something was wrong with the kid and what made me mad about it was that he knew something wrong but chose to ignore it. he could have said something to his parents or to anyone.
@@exploitwiz7140 I live in Germany and its incredibly hard to get a gun here. Guess what nearly never happens: mass shootings. Just like in most European countries. Denying the link between gun accessibility and mass shootings is just wrong

@@spaceboj9198 They do use actual arguments instead of strawman fallacies you guys love to use so much. A majority of NRA members are ACTUAL firearms instructors. BUT, since you wanna throw that crap out there, what argument that is backed by actual facts can you make that NRA members don't use facts in their logic?
we love kids we offer solutions need up the security in schools my previous job had better security than schools and we just processed used cell phones and the whole argument we cant afford it is false when we just sent 30 billion to ukraine you guys dont want solutions you guys just have a anti american agenda
The people who are against having armed security in schools are the ones who clearly do not care about children. Putting “gun free zone” sings up by schools as if that doesn’t shout out to every possible threat “soft targets here”. These some people don’t bay an a eye when there favorite celebrity had armed security but the second we try to protect children they take issue, if that’s not pure evil I don’t know what is
I think what the kid said about “if one person told him happy birthday-“ sounds to me like victim blaming himself. he said he knew the kid so he may carry some unjustified guilt about the whole situation. these people weaponizing his trauma to try and make a point is disgusting.
I think the fact that he was a victim and brought that point up…….the intention was probably to bring to light that the kid may have been struggling. I know people don’t like to think about this but murderers are people too. nothing will EVER take away the trauma of going through an event like that, but at the same time how do you start dissecting the problem without trying to understand what could have happened :/
it’s not victim blaming he was simply making a point that if we connected ourselves more it may positively influence depression rates and therefore prevent some awful events like the one he experienced
One thing that really occurred to me that no one is talking about is that if the teachers carry a gun there’s now an added possibility that one of the students would grab the gun then or there.
Or the teacher can be the one that uses it it's just adding a factor of is he/she mentally stable or not which adds even if it was a bit to the probability of something happening
Typically, if a teacher were to carry a gun, I'd expect it'd be concealed, with no students knowing they have it. It's no more of a responsibility than concealed carriers have on a daily basis.
If teachers were armed I would expect A) students would not be made aware of it, to prevent this exact situation, B) those teachers would be very closely monitored and expected to go through very regular training to ensure they stay proficient with their firearms and C) that it would be locked away in a safe in their classroom so that they don't have immediate access, just in case they do snap, to hopefully make them truly think about what they're doing, as well as preventing an assailant from gaining access to a second weapon.
@@ru5h1n68 It would be pretty hard to hide a secure safe from students, and if students dont know about it then they wont have time to react if the teacher goes mad
"The United States does not have a mass shooting problem." I nearly choked when I heard that. A lot of countries have mental health problems, but school doesn't equal shooting range there.
@@CP-ir3ft So why aren't mass shootings also considered mental health problems? Instead, people only blame guns and while they are a contributing factor if you take them away there will still be problems caused by mental health.
As a European listening to this debate felt so unreal. When they talked about the truck in Nice, do they know how many times mass killing occurs in the US vs in France ? In France we’ve had 54 mass shootings since 1953 !!! The USA had 200 mass shootings just in 2021 so far, but of course that has nothing to do with guns and the way they are controlled. Edit: Since I’ve seen that wrong argument so much in the comments: Yes France has a way smaller population than the US, but look at the numbers right : 200shottings in the US in just a 6 months and 54 shootings in France in 68 years !! So that’s 400 shootings/year in the US and 0.8shootings/year in France. Since the Us population is about 5 times bigger, the adjusted value for France would be 4 shootings per year. That is still pretty far from the USA value…
@Harmony SAME. It could be a teacher who is so well descripted but we never know their intention. Who knows? If no other student is armed and there’s only a teacher who one, it’s officially scary to say the most.
When I saw how many people came forward when they asked who lost someone to gun violence I was shocked. I’m European and I don’t even know someone who knows someone who knew someone that was lost to gun violence. Absolutely shocking.
Completely agree. I know ONE person who was involved in a mass shooting which I think is significant - she was visiting Vegas at the time of that shooting. Of course. We're Canadian.
Ren Abshire no, I don’t know a person who has been killed in any way but by illness, nor does anyone. I’ve lived in both England and Portugal and my experience has been exactly the same.
For me , think about my one of my former first grade students who broke into my locked classroom during his lunch period (he thought the classroom was empty). I think about my colleagues who have had their locked closets broken into and money stolen out of their purses (all elementary school teachers btw). Have a gun in my classroom? Absolutely not. I have nothing against owning a gun but having it in the classroom is a liability I want nothing to do with.
I just think about a few of my older teachers.. Give them a gun and if they ever have to use it, two in the floor, one in the ceiling, three more somewhere down range and probably nowhere near the actual target. Especially under immediate threat. Its not a good idea. These are educators not police. Hell, cops don't even react well many times so obviously the training the U.S. currently requires is not adequate. Introduction of firearms to all classrooms is a non-starter for me.
Arthur Pilgram - hard to say when it comes to armed police officers in schools. Personally, as an educator, I wouldn’t have a problem with it. That being said, I work in NYC in a title 1 school. Many of our students have extreme behavioral challenges. We also have a high population of special needs students. Furthermore, a large portion of our school community distrusts the police and it could wind up being a recipe for disaster if you get an officer who doesn’t know how to speak to children or their families. Even worse if the officer doesn’t know how to deal with special needs students or recognize the difference between rudeness and a manic episode. The officer would need to be someone friendly with a very small ego and excellent deescalation strategies, which can be difficult to come by and even more difficult to advertise for. Edit: forgot to mention, as a parent myself, I would be 100% okay with an armed officer in my children’s school. But that’s just me and, for the sake of playing devil’s advocate, I know many families who feel differently.
I remember someone in my school having a hit list and finding out from him I wasn't on it because I was nice to him. I do know though that not everyone planning to hurt people will stop if shown kindness. As someone who does experience mental health issues, I would love for mental health to be less stigmatized and discussed. I do not believe though that would solve all these issues like mass shootings, but I am hopeful that it could help in some capacity. I am also aware there are other factors involved in a variety of situations, but I just wanted to touch on the mental health aspect that was discussed.
We need a complete cultural transformation as well. Other countries have mental illnesses, too, but our country glorifies violence as the answer to most of our problems, even our mental health crisis.
*Stays standing for ‘I don’t think there’s a mass shooting problem’* *Sits down for ‘I think teachers should carry guns’* Why would teachers need to carry guns if there wasn’t a problem with mass shootings also within schools?
Do you know why schools are often the targets of shootings? It’s because the shooters know the security in schools is awful. It’s not difficult to understand, but the sad part is that few people think about that
Datsko right... and you know this because you’ve thought this out yourself or? ... Yes it makes perfect sense, let’s throw more guns into the mix and allow pupils and teachers to have them. *Everyone’s* safer now because *everyone* has one... Yeah I don’t think it works like that either. No it’s not hard to understand, it’s the first thing you would assume and then with some critical thinking you’d understand that mass shootings are ultimately suicide missions. So what do they care if someone is able to pull a gun back on them? They know going into it they will most likely end up dead or failing that behind bars for life anyway. They would still do it regardless, they have a death wish to begin with but putting more guns in schools when it just takes one to ruin countless lives is a pretty weak argument and actually a recipe for even worse than what one unhinged person could do.
Right lmao. I support the second amendment but you gotta be more thorough with the background checks and getting illegal guns out of circulation. How few people agreed was a bit disheartening
How could you make it harder? Most people that buy guns from a gun store, private owner or gun show usually are not trying to get a ghost gun to go shoot up the local market. And zip guns are made every day inside max security prisons. They aren't pretty, but a lot of them work just fine. Take some time and think what someone on the outside could do with a small milling machine or 3D printer. They would be millionaires the day after guns are over regulated or outlawed. True gunsmithing is an art, but you don't have to be an artist to make functioning weapons of ANY type. And if you're not skilled enough to produce your own or just don't want to take the time do so, you can always go down to the corner and buy a hot gun. The point is that it's nearly impossible to try to regulate something that you can make in your basement. And criminals will forever do bad things regardless the law. Making it harder for people to defend themselves, and possibly others, would be a bad joke on every lawful gun owner. Don't fear the gun. Fear the azzwhole holding it.
Jimmy C it’s literally just have more mental health studies, heavier background checks and yearly inspections/shooting classes. It’s actually not that hard. People just don’t wanna think hard enough. In most places you can just walk in and get a gun that day, the point is to not make it THAT easy. You have to have your mental health tested, have your background checked thoroughly and do the yearly checkup just like we do with drivers license. Most people would have to wait would be a week.
Heather is the perfect example of what’s wrong with a lot of gun owners, she’s one of those people who would cover say she doesn’t see gun violence as she’s covering her eyes with her hands, she’s doesn’t see any issues because she doesn’t want to
She was so infuriating to listen too especially when she asked why the media highlights/chooses the mass shootings to cover. MAYBE BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN IN PLACES WE FEEL SAFEST?????
She highlighted the issue that gun-free zones are easy targets. She also highlighted the amount of mass shootings that occur in Chicago just over a single weekend. She's not covering her eyes, you are.
She wasnt giving opinions. She was giving talking points. It sounded like she didnt think her opinion through and just regurgitates what she had heard. The others gave thought behind their opinion without giving "gun free zone" talking point or "the media" talking point.
As a middle/high school teacher, I can’t imagine kids knowing there are guns in the school. I live in the south so most people here are ok with guns in general but here’s the thing- I’m a 130 pound female. Most of my students are bigger than me. If they know (and they would know) that there was a gun in the room, I know that they could get to it. While I would do absolutely anything in the world to protect my students, I don’t think I would stay in my profession if there was an option for teachers to have guns.
If there is an option-I just won’t have one. But I would be okay with my 225 pound, Air Force veteran, and former Highway Patrolman father, who went into teaching, having a gun in his classroom. I would feel safer for the students and I that way.
Julie Kennedy but not everyone is 225 pounds so your gonna give one teacher a gun but not another.And still risk students life. Because you never know what going to happen and who can over power a 225 pound man
Schools in Texas allow teachers to be armed and parents and teachers say it makes them feel safer, as someone has a gun to protect themselves if things go wrong.
I am also a teacher and I would 10000% have one. The idea is you would opt in to have one and students would have no idea who does and does not have one. There’s a chance that no teacher in the building opts in but students and psychos in the community don’t know that. Why would they shoot up a school where as many as 100+ people could fire back at them? Wouldn’t they be more likely to take their happy ass down the road?
I did like how the mass shooting survivors agreed a lot with the other side, however I wish they had atleast one person who was strongly against guns. It's why I liked Maj because he could understand and empathised with people who don't like guns
Exactly. As someone who's strongly against guns, Maj's perspective was really good for me to hear. But they really should have had someone like him on the other side of the debate as well.
As a student in the US, I think I would be terrified if my teachers had guns. You can't trust all teachers to be good people. Most of them don't have access to guns and already do a lot of horrible things to their students including sexual assault and other abuse. Our education system already sucks due to so many other reasons and the fact that they as adults (who won't be impacted) think that teachers should be armed is ridiculous. Edit: I'd just like to clarify I don't think most of my teachers personally are violent sexual offenders, I've been lucky to have great teachers who I trust for most of my life but I know this isn't the same experience everyone has had. I was just annoyed that most of the people in this video were adults (and not teachers) and wouldn't be impacted by the fact that teachers could possibly be armed so it is easy for them to suggest that teachers should have guns. Teachers are also crazily underpaid despite the fact that they are literally educating the next generation. They don't need to be our security guards and its not a solution that would make many of my fellow students feel safer.
Also as a student i think arming teachers (ad long as its voluntary and there are some restrictions) is a good idea. Schools in Texas already do that and parents, students, and teachers say they feel safer. If i knew a good gun owner brought there gun to school while they taught, id feel safer-not in danger, and i come from a very anti gun area.
She says that states like Illinois have insane gun violence with severe gun regulation, so her argument is "the regulations don't work". What she fails to mention is over 90% of guns used in crimes in Illinois are purchased in neighboring Indiana, a red state with one of the least restrictive gun regulations in the entire US.
..... so, what you're saying is that criminals in all states will have guns, and strict gun regulations only serve to disarm the law abiding? You may have a point there.
Indiana doesn't have strict gun laws and doesn't have a gun crime problem. If guns were the problem, then Indiana should have more gun crime. Illinois does have strict gun laws. That makes it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to have guns. It's as if criminals realize it's easier for them to commit crimes in strict gun control States/cities. 🤔
It’s ironic how the “Black Guns Matter Guy” says that nearly anyone watching has probably lost someone due to a mass shooting whilst probably barely any of the European viewers can relate to that.
Yeah I immediately came to the comments when he said that. Here in Belgium (and in most of the European countries), the number of gun related deaths is around 10 times smaller per 100,000 inhabitants!
stilldownwiththemutantunderground I thought about mentioning this concept of an “American bubble” too. How exciting that you came to the same conclusion and finished my comment in that sense :D
This is crazy! I literally can't believe that these things are true for Americans! I know (rationally) that it is a thing but I still find it unbelievable!
18:34 most schools have on campus security guards??? Just because someone is armed doesn’t mean they’ll take action. The deputy at the Parkland shooting literally stayed outside rather than going after the shooter.
i would love to see it! as an american who lives in an extremely gun pro-state, i would love to hear about things the rest of the world does. whenever i go out into public, i look for the nearest exit in case of a shooting.
@Shem Casimir bro you do know that the democracy in europe is built way better than yours in the us? your political system is so corrupted and makes no sense. *you're* the ones who don't control their laws lol look at what trump's doing currently
Super well done by Jubilee and everyone who was included. I really appreciated hearing from survivors. So sad to hear what they have gon through. Grateful they are speaking up.
exactly. taking guns away will only take them away from the people who use them responsibly. you think the shooters care about the law when they are killing people
Everyone agrees with your statement unironically. It's just a question of who wields the gun in defense. The government? The military? The police? Yourself? Don't act all high and mighty because you prefer to delegate the wielding of guns in self defense to someone else. How can you delegate a right to a governing body that you don't even possess yourself?
the video is not middle ground. everyone seems to agree. i wish they would’ve put more people that where actually against guns instead of having everyone saying the same things.
Luis S. That doesn’t make sense? I think they’re just saying middle ground is when two groups with opposing views try to come to a common ground, this group had a lot of agreement because most of the mass shooting survivors were not anti gun, so I felt the main argument was lost.
That's because nobody with any sense at all believes gun laws will stop mass shootings. It's already against the law to shoot people, so why would they not do it because their gun has been banned? More people with guns to defend themselves with DO prevent mass shootings because the shooters are cowards who won't face another person who is armed. That's why the go to "gun free" zones
"Most of us have probably lost someone to gun violence even the people watching" uhhhhh no, if you don't live in the US, it's extremely rare to know anyone that has even been confronted by a gun.
A better thing to say would be, if you live in Western Europe/developed countries. Because people in Africa,South America, and parts of Asia definitely do,
I live in Singapore and most of the population has never seen a gun outside of the ones the police carry or the ones guys serving their National service will carry when in camp. Even the police using their guns to shoot someone is such a rare occurrence that it made the news the one time it happened in idk how many years probably at least 5
Crime in general happens mostly in large cities. Canada has I think three large cities - so not a lot of crime to consider. The USA has hundreds of large cities. When comparing large cities where the victims are disarmed (Chicago) with large cities where the victims are allowed to arm themselves (Houston) - you are safer where criminals are worried that their victim may be armed. Heather understands this reality - and so she is happy when people she knows takes measures to be safer. Wouldn't it make you happy to find out that a friend who hates seat belts finally tells you they changed their mind and will wear theirs from now on?
Why do people use “they could have used a knife” as an excuse? You’re saying killing 10 people with a knife is just as easy as using a gun? I don’t understand why that’s even brought up
They don't want restrictions on their precious guns. They even have the AUDACITY to say there isn't a gun violence problem in America but a mental health problem. In 2019 alone, there were 366 mass shootings in America. Now compare that to Countries that banned or have very STRICT gun laws and see the statistics for yourself. The problem is CLEAR as day and people need to understand that
For me I feel like if someone would of used a knife they would of killed less people not just because physically. Stabbing someone is way more personal and u have blood on ur hands then just watching someone collapse from a bullet
SouthEast Dusty but with knife crime not as many people are affected because you have to get in close proximity to the victim, yes attacks do happen but not to the extent that shootings do
@@maddie297 knife crime happens a lot more than you think and it can get to a mass shooting degree of violence, in england it's one of our biggest problems along with acid attacks. there are other places in the world other than america and a blanket statement such as that cant be used in this context.
@@kathygallardo3830 I don't think you heard the argument correctly. Nobody argues to mandatory arm teachers by law or something. The argument is that among teachers there are responsible gun owners already who would like to choose to defend their school and students if only they were allowed to. So the point is to just allow those teachers who want to be able to protect to do so. Obviously, safety measures and training will need to happen too. Even if it's one out of 10 teachers. Nobody says to arm everyone mandatory, that's not feasible is that's ridiculous.
@@Yurkevich22 I heard the argument clearly and I never claimed that’s what they said in the video. People have told me to my face that us as educators NEED to be armed and that it should be required of us to be armed. Obviously that’s ridiculous.
@@kathygallardo3830 well we are commenting on the video, so I can only assume you were commenting on the video and not your personal experiences. Be assured that what you were told in person is not what the majority of so-called "pro-arm the teachers" people are saying. Most of them simply advocate for the ability for those teachers who want and can carry and protect to be able to do so. So in other words, if you don't want to and you don't feel comfortable or want to take extra responsibility - that's fine. But if there say 1 or 2 or 3 or however many teachers in your school who want to take on that responsibility, who are legal and responsible gun owners - let them do it. of course, there would need to be certain additional standards and precautions, but do you get the point now?
Ugh. .. I don't know if I'm ready for this... it's so painful even the first part just makes me want to cry. What has happened to our country? I'm troubled that people will defend guns over people over human lives. It's the persistent devaluation of life. It really hurts. What infuriates me the most when those poor kids are attacked and accused of falsified information after having been traumatized
Banning guns doesn't stop violence. The reason why 2nd Amendment advocates like me tell people to arm themselves is because we want every law-abiding citizen to be able to use the most effective tool to protect themselves. Even if there were no guns whatsoever within America, violence would still exist. The UK still has violent crime, the criminals use knives and it is an extreme problem there. According to the CDC there are approximately 500,000 to as high as 3,000,000 self defense uses with a firearm within the United States. The majority of mass shootings happen in gun free zones. The attackers specifically target gun free zones knowing that it is likely that no one will have a gun to stop them. We already had an "Assault Weapons" ban from 1994-2004 it had a sunshine clause in which the DOJ concluded that the ban had no effect on stopping gun violence.
Thankfully have a couple of firearm' to protect me from danger. If I got robbed it was being burglarized I would have something to protect me with instead of just waiting for the police while the suspect is already gone. Plus I live to see you or take my guns away if so have knives too
You know what bothers me? You’re willing to do away with inantimate instruments that have been around for eternity, and only recently has this ever been a problem of this magnitude. But the solution is…emotional knee jerk sentiment.
@@thedewdster there have been roughly 300 school shootings in the US this YEAR alone, it shouldn’t be happening. You’re allowed to access guns way too easily
Right! I mean sure, it is caused by mental health problems and all that, but you can't always go straight to the root of the problem. Why not attack the issue on all fronts? Improve health care and education while limiting guns at the same time.
@T K He's saying it's not a problem. If we look at things like that, why not say we have a drowning problem, an Alligator problem, a car crash problem.
I understand that our society has mental health, drug issues, etc, but having uncontrolled and easy access to guns does amplify the damage that can be done if someone is going through a bad phase. On a side note, it's courageous and commendable for this panel to come up together and have a respectful conversation.

Yeah, 100%. It's absolutely hypocritical to say the US has a mental health problem that needs to be addressed, and in the same breath say it does not need to be more difficult to get a gun. I had an acquaintance go on a gun rant once, specifically around mental health background checks. He said, and I quote "If the government did mental health background checks, I would not be allowed to own a gun. And that is not fair" like seriously?! I don't talk to him anymore lmao
To the guy that said mass shootings aren’t a problem because someone could use a knife instead of a gun…what instills more fear in hundreds of people? A 3 inch blade or a pistol? Guns provide shooters with quicker kills and a higher satisfaction from the thrill of scaring people. Knife and gun threats are in no way the same thing. Btw Heather is definitely a Karen
@@temarithebadass9276 wtf this has nothing to do with gender i have no idea why you’re saying that 😂 how about you just mind your business and be a “pick me girl” somewhere else
Yes! Like because guns offer a way for someone unstable to hurt people without it being too gory (eg stabbing) it makes it so easy - tempting even!! I know in my darkest moments of my life that I was extremely glad to not have any conceivable access to a gun
that's true. I was screaming in frustrtation when she mention the car incident in Paris. How they didn't make a car ban after that mass attack. Well, it such a rare thing compare thing and you know it still not threatening as a gun. I would think someone be able to stop someone in a car, knife attacks and other weapons. While it still dangerous the causality will be less than trying to stop a mass shooter.
False, criminals don't follow the law and will still obtain them, therefore leaving law abiding citizens helpless, specially for those that don't live in major towns.
@@richardcannon6227 and that’s exactly what happens in other countries and the rate of gun violence is still lower it’s kinda common sense to make them harder to get
@@richardcannon6227 they wouldn't be helpless, as long as they follow the correct regulations and protocols that allow for them to obtain a gun then they will have their own protection. not every person deserves to have a gun, and implementing some sort of control limits possible mass shootings and separate incidents to a degree.
@Shaniya Straight we already have that set in place! If you don't know this, then that means you've never purchased a firearm before. Educate yourself.
@@richardcannon6227 obviously we already have regulations set in place. i don’t have to own or buy a gun to know this. it’s pretty much common sense. i’m saying there needs to be MORE restriction. while background checks are held up to standard by law, mental health reporting laws vary from state to state, and this is one of the many loop holes where a gun can end up in the wrong hands. and yes guns can be obtained illegally and will continue to do so, but our government and we as the citizens of this country need to continue to add these restrictions bcuz one less gun in the wrong hands will end up saving many lives.
It's not fair to compare US to a european country, everything is different, not just the gun laws, you probably feel safer because your country has a better education system, enough jobs and don't have racial issues. Banning all guns in the US wouldn't solve any problem.
The reason we need to own guns is A because we have high crime even if we banned guns we border Mexico guns are getting in also zip guns and 3D printing exist. B the second amendment makes it extremely hard for a fascist government to form. We need the first amendment to protect the second and we need the second to protect the first
"Teachers should be armed." No, absolutely no. I had teachers scream at students faces in front of me, and I have no doubt in the world that if they had a gun on them, they would've at least taken it out and pointed it to a students face. I'm not saying they would pull the trigger, but I have no doubt about a few of them pulling the trigger when some of my classmates and schoolmates retaliated and said things back. And also, no one could prevent a student just grabbing the gun from the teacher and shooting them.
@@Henry-kz4gn Yeah exactly. Or when someone cuts me off in traffic, the first thing I do is reach for my gun. 🙄 Does this person not realize thousands of Americans conceal carry every day, through anger and happiness, while being flipped off in traffic, while being yelled at by someone in the store, etc?
Your assuming that teacher would have a gun in the first place. If that teacher really wanted to shoot a kid they wouldn’t need to be certified to have a gun at school they would do it anyway.
Bettina lol it’s not pro gun vs anti gun, it’s nra members and mass shooting survivors. I’m not sure about you but pretty much everyone I know, liberal, conservative, doesn’t matter, atleast agrees we should have the right to own guns. Guns can save lives. Not saying there shouldn’t be reform but the government should not even ban firearms completely
They have a middle ground video on exactly that, just because they were "victims of gun violence" doesn't mean they can't have their own independent opinions about the subject.
The homicide rate in California is still 500% higher and in Illinois it’s 900% higher than New Hampshire. Jubilee shared only population numbers, not per capita deaths, which are the numbers that compare apples to apples.
I hate statistics in online videos. They're always limited in what they can show and are picked specifically to promote the agenda of one side or the other. You can prove statistically that the US having more guns makes for more gun violence (more shootings in US than elsewhere)(this can also be debated as most places that are considered to have more gun violence dont track it like the US does) while simultaneously showing that banning guns yields more gun violence (Chicago, DC, NYC having overwhelmingly more shootings than anywhere else without gun restrictions) Don't assume stats prove the point for either side. They're just supporting evidence and often manipulative.
@@jameslegrand848 Middle ground isn't really reached in the video because there aren't two distinct arguments in the video. It isn't NRA vs anti-guns or pro-gun control, it's NRA vs mass shooting survivors who share most of the same views as the NRA members. It was definitely an interesting video in terms of being a discussion, but there was no real debate.
As a British viewer that's grown up in a very different cultural approach towards carrying guns, I felt like this episode lacked proper diversity of thought. As has been said, these weren't really opposing sides - although I was surprised that they weren't more different. In the UK it isn't radical to believe that there shouldn't be guns altogether and I understand that the US might be different in that regard but there has been much more radical opinions on these videos previously. It was really frustrating to watch people talking about the "fun" of guns next to survivors and even for survivors to not be anti-gun. I understand that it is possible to have different opinions within a set of experiences. But I really do feel that this video didn't properly find any sort of middle ground because the views were not different and diverse enough.
I just LOVE how Heather says that there are more shootings in California and Illinois then there are in New Hampshire because of the strict gun control . Like girl California is like 17x bigger then New Hampshire
Guns don't teach statistics, I guess. Or they teach how to manipulate statistics. Glad Jubilee sorta called that out by providing the numbers on screen.
@@ExeErdna insisting that gun control works when the only states that have strict gun control have more violent crime while the states that don’t don’t have absurd gun control, is cognitive dissidence.. here’s a better solution: all the anti gun people move to lib states, ban guns, and leave the states that abide by the constitution alone.
I’m from Europe and this whole conversation seemed full on nonsense to me. Every country deals with mental health problems but not every country deals with gun violence. Period.
Guns are the most popular choice due to culture. More lives are saved by guns than killed. The amounts saved are in the tens of thousands while casualties from shootings are in the hundreds. Take away guns and you screw law abiding citizens from defending themselves from every single other form of crime which are way bigger problems than school shootings ever was.
@@supperfuntime36 Please move out of there or get better presidents. I would actually let someone in my country (and I'm talking your situation) that does not want to be in America in the next 8 years.
Because were not the country that has the most of them nor the most deaths by them. Several European countries have more deaths from mass shootings than we do.
I really don't think this was cast well. Everyone seemed to have very similar opinions which defeats the whole purpose of an open debate. There was no real anti-gun person, nor someone who had facts/ evidence to support that side
No, I just don't think you understand the point of the video, the video is "Two opposite sides clash and have nonstop arguments", its "two groups that are connected in someway try to find common ground", and they did just that.
@@Hieroph4nt It's really easy to find common ground when you are on the same general side as someone. It is much more *meaningful* to see what common ground can be found between people who fundamentally disagree or have a difference of opinion or experiences.

@@marymik7372 I agree. The video with gangmembers and vegans vs hunters had common problems and they talked about it. I think they should have made that clear before they put the two groups against each other.

Honestly when she said that it really pissed me of, you never see as many intentional truck violence cases in Europe as you do gun violence cases in the US
Guns’ main purpose are for defense. Sorry, the real world isn’t a utopia. People buy guns in the masses to keep themselves and their families safe. If you make it harder for law-abiding citizens to buy guns legally, less law-abiding citizens buy guns to defend themselves, and criminals continue to buy off the black market

I then learned more about it and gun control's history the statistics and my opinion changed. I am a 2nd Amendment advocate for all not just citizens of the United States, but for everyone.
I heard that even pepper spray is banned in Singapore because it can also be used as a weapon.
I did know somewhat that Singapore is considered safe but not that safe. Which I think is cool and life is so much more enjoyable without the fear of getting shot everywhere at any given moment.

There are teachers unfortunately that violate the trust students have in them.

Yeah but it's a fallacy, the personal incredulity fallacy. Honestly, arming teachers just creates more problems than it solves.

I think people bring it up because they feel like at one point their mental health should not have gone to that state that they would do something horrific. Also people want to have a reason to understand how something like this could have happen.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME
Exactly that felt so insensitive!! To a 17 year old who’s shooting was only 4 months ago?
i was so mad when she said that
People like her have a special place reserved in hell
I have a massive feeling that she was trying to "sell" the idea of guns to him, I have seen similar questions and tactics used before for this purpose. The next thing she would have asked would be something to the affect of "imagine if you hada gun too" or "do you wish that someone in the crowd had a gun to stop the shooter", I have seen it before.... it's sick tbh. It's what thay offen do, they play of "what if" in order to use a warped image of hindsight. "What if the shooter was not the only one with a gun?" This one is a fan favorite of theirs, it's like a broken record at this point.
Agreed, it felt incredibly insensitive...and being a gun owner doesn’t mean you support or are a member of the NRA.
If you need to carry a gun around to feel safe you're probably living in the wrong country.
amen
It’s not a matter of feeling safe, it’s a matter of being safe. Security theatre like metal detectors, or gun laws are just illusions, and dangerous ones

I am an American and I definitely agree. I also think that the people chosen for this video all seemed more pro-gun then many survivors are
@@avaginsberg3871 many survivors want to abolish guns so that the shooting is less likely to happen. But others want their own, to "equalize" the scenario, so that they aren't helpless. And, truth be told, choosing not to purchase a gun for self defense isn't going to be too influential so why not feel more in control? I feel it's an accurate depiction of the spectrum of shooting survivors.

The right to own a gun is also unique to the us

@T K but why? Who cares what we Americans have to say? Why does it matter that other people can ask us questions or not? I dont see a point to it whatsoever
Oscar the point is exactly that the societies in other countries is extremely different. I think it would be interesting to see if some of the Scandinavian ways could give another perspective on this topic when compared to America. I also think people (like myself), from a non-violent country, with no sight of a gun, have a lot to say - that could add to the topic. And yes, the show is “based on America’s social phenomena” but it is viewed by subscribers all over the world and this could increase the number of viewing countries even more.
@Oscar It's about introspection. It is essential to see yourself in a way you probably hadn't considered before, hear how other people do things, to be able to evaluate yourself. The way others perceive us can tell us a lot about ourselves. I think not wanting to self-evaluate and not wanting to expand their worldview are honestly the biggest flaws Americans have.

Mass shootings are so common in the US. It’s sad :(
Hope A. i couldn’t imagine walking around school or even a shop and thinking like how can i escape if someone were to try shoot me or around me like it’s so surreal to me that these are the things people live with every day
I live in Dublin and I could never imagine anything like this happening at my school which makes me so grateful to live in a gun free country.

I hate the whole “be nicer to ppl” argument when it comes to school shootings. It should not be the responsibility of children to talk to someone to avoid getting killed. What ppl dont realize is most of the times these shooters arent the victims theyre the bullies. A lot of the time nobody talks to them because theyre actual unpleasant people with issues who are mean, racist, violent, etc.
Yet you're not getting if kids aren't being "nice" to their peers they are responsible. I been in school fightings to where girls pulled out knives. Since they didn't respect each other. You cannot isolate people and think they're gonna change, nah they're gonna snap.
I wish we could make all school smaller. Kids get lost in these huge schools. It's impossible for staff to target kids that need that extra attention. I don't think it will happen because it would cost cities too much money to build and staff.

I’m American and it’s odd even to me, a veteran.
Hayden the 17yr was speaking facts, we all need to be more kind and caring and help people if their feeling down.
That's easier said than done though. Why didn't Hayden say happy birthday to that school shooter? Well he probably just didn't know. They were classmates but not friends. Are you gonna go out and record everyone's birthday just to be nice then? People do need to be nicer to each other ofc. But how do you foster a genuine connection when socializing isn't that easy? There's social norms at play, there's ways to make friends. Sometimes somebody gets dealt a bad hand, the timing isn't right, they don't have friends, and before you know it they're spending a birthday alone. That alone might make their mental health deteriorate.
But if that person were to do a school shooting as a result, you can't prevent that simply by being nicer. Making genuine connections with people is hard. And kids should be allowed to naturally form friendships, they shouldn't be worried that the one loner they were mean to that day might commit a school shooting. Also, I think it was the FBI that did some research and found out that bullying isn't common amongst school shooters but a personal loss in their family or friends is.
@@mooominpapa I agree with everything except the being mean to someone and they are going to shoot you. You shouldn't be mean without expecting an eye for an eye, you ever heard of the song pumped of kicks, but yes the thing about the fbi and stuff was great too!

That's definitely more of a cliche than what would create actual change. While empathy is important, lack of empathy doesn't justify violence.
Papa Moomin ya i agree. i get what you are saying, but there have been many reports of people (mainly teachers) being aware that students (who turned out to be school shooters) are not mentally okay and chose to dismay it. if people didn’t dismay stuff like that, school shootings would decrease. the florida shooting that happened a few years ago, my cousin used to be neighbors with the dude who did it. he told me he always knew something was wrong with the kid and what made me mad about it was that he knew something wrong but chose to ignore it. he could have said something to his parents or to anyone.

I think what the kid said about “if one person told him happy birthday-“ sounds to me like victim blaming himself. he said he knew the kid so he may carry some unjustified guilt about the whole situation. these people weaponizing his trauma to try and make a point is disgusting.
I think the fact that he was a victim and brought that point up…….the intention was probably to bring to light that the kid may have been struggling. I know people don’t like to think about this but murderers are people too. nothing will EVER take away the trauma of going through an event like that, but at the same time how do you start dissecting the problem without trying to understand what could have happened :/
The shooter was also a victim of something bad.

it’s not victim blaming he was simply making a point that if we connected ourselves more it may positively influence depression rates and therefore prevent some awful events like the one he experienced

so much trauma, he is forever changed
One thing that really occurred to me that no one is talking about is that if the teachers carry a gun there’s now an added possibility that one of the students would grab the gun then or there.
Or the teacher decides that the clock doesn't dismiss them, the glock does
Or the teacher can be the one that uses it it's just adding a factor of is he/she mentally stable or not which adds even if it was a bit to the probability of something happening
Typically, if a teacher were to carry a gun, I'd expect it'd be concealed, with no students knowing they have it. It's no more of a responsibility than concealed carriers have on a daily basis.
If teachers were armed I would expect A) students would not be made aware of it, to prevent this exact situation, B) those teachers would be very closely monitored and expected to go through very regular training to ensure they stay proficient with their firearms and C) that it would be locked away in a safe in their classroom so that they don't have immediate access, just in case they do snap, to hopefully make them truly think about what they're doing, as well as preventing an assailant from gaining access to a second weapon.

Because dont compare guns and trucks! Ask jim adler.
As a European listening to this debate felt so unreal. When they talked about the truck in Nice, do they know how many times mass killing occurs in the US vs in France ? In France we’ve had 54 mass shootings since 1953 !!! The USA had 200 mass shootings just in 2021 so far, but of course that has nothing to do with guns and the way they are controlled.
Edit: Since I’ve seen that wrong argument so much in the comments: Yes France has a way smaller population than the US, but look at the numbers right : 200shottings in the US in just a 6 months and 54 shootings in France in 68 years !! So that’s 400 shootings/year in the US and 0.8shootings/year in France. Since the Us population is about 5 times bigger, the adjusted value for France would be 4 shootings per year.

Completely agree. I know ONE person who was involved in a mass shooting which I think is significant - she was visiting Vegas at the time of that shooting. Of course. We're Canadian.
Ren Abshire no, I don’t know a person who has been killed in any way but by illness, nor does anyone. I’ve lived in both England and Portugal and my experience has been exactly the same.
Every time someone says, "teachers should be armed" I think about the time my 2nd grade teacher threw scissors across the room.
Ban scissors
For me , think about my one of my former first grade students who broke into my locked classroom during his lunch period (he thought the classroom was empty). I think about my colleagues who have had their locked closets broken into and money stolen out of their purses (all elementary school teachers btw). Have a gun in my classroom? Absolutely not. I have nothing against owning a gun but having it in the classroom is a liability I want nothing to do with.
I just think about a few of my older teachers..
Give them a gun and if they ever have to use it, two in the floor, one in the ceiling, three more somewhere down range and probably nowhere near the actual target.
Especially under immediate threat.
Its not a good idea.
These are educators not police.
Hell, cops don't even react well many times so obviously the training the U.S. currently requires is not adequate.
Introduction of firearms to all classrooms is a non-starter for me.
Arthur Pilgram - hard to say when it comes to armed police officers in schools. Personally, as an educator, I wouldn’t have a problem with it. That being said, I work in NYC in a title 1 school. Many of our students have extreme behavioral challenges. We also have a high population of special needs students. Furthermore, a large portion of our school community distrusts the police and it could wind up being a recipe for disaster if you get an officer who doesn’t know how to speak to children or their families. Even worse if the officer doesn’t know how to deal with special needs students or recognize the difference between rudeness and a manic episode. The officer would need to be someone friendly with a very small ego and excellent deescalation strategies, which can be difficult to come by and even more difficult to advertise for.
Edit: forgot to mention, as a parent myself, I would be 100% okay with an armed officer in my children’s school. But that’s just me and, for the sake of playing devil’s advocate, I know many families who feel differently.
It should be treated as a house gun locked up if it were to be a thing
I remember someone in my school having a hit list and finding out from him I wasn't on it because I was nice to him.
I do know though that not everyone planning to hurt people will stop if shown kindness.
As someone who does experience mental health issues, I would love for mental health to be less stigmatized and discussed. I do not believe though that would solve all these issues like mass shootings, but I am hopeful that it could help in some capacity.
I am also aware there are other factors involved in a variety of situations, but I just wanted to touch on the mental health aspect that was discussed.
We need a complete cultural transformation as well. Other countries have mental illnesses, too, but our country glorifies violence as the answer to most of our problems, even our mental health crisis.
*Stays standing for ‘I don’t think there’s a mass shooting problem’*
*Sits down for ‘I think teachers should carry guns’*
Why would teachers need to carry guns if there wasn’t a problem with mass shootings also within schools?
Do you know why schools are often the targets of shootings? It’s because the shooters know the security in schools is awful. It’s not difficult to understand, but the sad part is that few people think about that
@@datsko6339 That's not how it works.
Datsko right... and you know this because you’ve thought this out yourself or? ...
Yes it makes perfect sense, let’s throw more guns into the mix and allow pupils and teachers to have them. *Everyone’s* safer now because *everyone* has one...
Yeah I don’t think it works like that either.
No it’s not hard to understand, it’s the first thing you would assume and then with some critical thinking you’d understand that mass shootings are ultimately suicide missions.
So what do they care if someone is able to pull a gun back on them? They know going into it they will most likely end up dead or failing that behind bars for life anyway.
They would still do it regardless, they have a death wish to begin with but putting more guns in schools when it just takes one to ruin countless lives is a pretty weak argument and actually a recipe for even worse than what one unhinged person could do.
To punish children
As a right to protect themselves and their students.
Bruh wtf only one person stepped forward for "it should be harder to buy a gun"?????
Right lmao. I support the second amendment but you gotta be more thorough with the background checks and getting illegal guns out of circulation. How few people agreed was a bit disheartening
How could you make it harder?
Most people that buy guns from a gun store, private owner or gun show usually are not trying to get a ghost gun to go shoot up the local market.
And zip guns are made every day inside max security prisons. They aren't pretty, but a lot of them work just fine.
Take some time and think what someone on the outside could do with a small milling machine or 3D printer.
They would be millionaires the day after guns are over regulated or outlawed.
True gunsmithing is an art, but you don't have to be an artist to make functioning weapons of ANY type.
And if you're not skilled enough to produce your own or just don't want to take the time do so, you can always go down to the corner and buy a hot gun.
The point is that it's nearly impossible to try to regulate something that you can make in your basement.
And criminals will forever do bad things regardless the law.
Making it harder for people to defend themselves, and possibly others, would be a bad joke on every lawful gun owner.
Don't fear the gun. Fear the azzwhole holding it.

*wants to infringe the second amendment*
Jimmy C it’s literally just have more mental health studies, heavier background checks and yearly inspections/shooting classes. It’s actually not that hard. People just don’t wanna think hard enough. In most places you can just walk in and get a gun that day, the point is to not make it THAT easy. You have to have your mental health tested, have your background checked thoroughly and do the yearly checkup just like we do with drivers license. Most people would have to wait would be a week.
Lina Aviles having another person decide wether you’re mentally fit to own a gun is a big no no
as a european this is so strange
As a Canadian, I completely agree. I'm amazed that they think they need a gun to be safe and how "normal" it is for them to own guns.
Tary1894 idk if it’s just me but when I travel to the us I don’t feel safe ever knowing that anyone can have a gun
I know right! It's absolutely terrifying 😔
it's scary🥺 I'm in the usa and I think that we need change. I'm so terrified
same i hate it
Heather is the perfect example of what’s wrong with a lot of gun owners, she’s one of those people who would cover say she doesn’t see gun violence as she’s covering her eyes with her hands, she’s doesn’t see any issues because she doesn’t want to
Bc she's highlighting the gaps in gun control?
She was so infuriating to listen too especially when she asked why the media highlights/chooses the mass shootings to cover. MAYBE BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN IN PLACES WE FEEL SAFEST?????
She highlighted the issue that gun-free zones are easy targets. She also highlighted the amount of mass shootings that occur in Chicago just over a single weekend. She's not covering her eyes, you are.
She wasnt giving opinions. She was giving talking points. It sounded like she didnt think her opinion through and just regurgitates what she had heard.
The others gave thought behind their opinion without giving "gun free zone" talking point or "the media" talking point.
@@FromTheAshes0762 so, you like feelings over facts then?
As a middle/high school teacher, I can’t imagine kids knowing there are guns in the school. I live in the south so most people here are ok with guns in general but here’s the thing- I’m a 130 pound female. Most of my students are bigger than me. If they know (and they would know) that there was a gun in the room, I know that they could get to it. While I would do absolutely anything in the world to protect my students, I don’t think I would stay in my profession if there was an option for teachers to have guns.
If there is an option-I just won’t have one. But I would be okay with my 225 pound, Air Force veteran, and former Highway Patrolman father, who went into teaching, having a gun in his classroom. I would feel safer for the students and I that way.
Julie Kennedy but not everyone is 225 pounds so your gonna give one teacher a gun but not another.And still risk students life. Because you never know what going to happen and who can over power a 225 pound man
Where I live kid take the stolen firearms to school
Schools in Texas allow teachers to be armed and parents and teachers say it makes them feel safer, as someone has a gun to protect themselves if things go wrong.
I am also a teacher and I would 10000% have one. The idea is you would opt in to have one and students would have no idea who does and does not have one. There’s a chance that no teacher in the building opts in but students and psychos in the community don’t know that. Why would they shoot up a school where as many as 100+ people could fire back at them? Wouldn’t they be more likely to take their happy ass down the road?
I did like how the mass shooting survivors agreed a lot with the other side, however I wish they had atleast one person who was strongly against guns. It's why I liked Maj because he could understand and empathised with people who don't like guns
Exactly. As someone who's strongly against guns, Maj's perspective was really good for me to hear. But they really should have had someone like him on the other side of the debate as well.
As a student in the US, I think I would be terrified if my teachers had guns. You can't trust all teachers to be good people. Most of them don't have access to guns and already do a lot of horrible things to their students including sexual assault and other abuse. Our education system already sucks due to so many other reasons and the fact that they as adults (who won't be impacted) think that teachers should be armed is ridiculous.
Edit: I'd just like to clarify I don't think most of my teachers personally are violent sexual offenders, I've been lucky to have great teachers who I trust for most of my life but I know this isn't the same experience everyone has had. I was just annoyed that most of the people in this video were adults (and not teachers) and wouldn't be impacted by the fact that teachers could possibly be armed so it is easy for them to suggest that teachers should have guns. Teachers are also crazily underpaid despite the fact that they are literally educating the next generation. They don't need to be our security guards and its not a solution that would make many of my fellow students feel safer.
True and teaching is honestly a stressful job you won't know when one teacher will suddenly snap and cuz they have access shoot people
what? your statement is ridiculous...most teachers do horrible things to their students?
Rachel Goodman Most of the sick ones
Also as a student i think arming teachers (ad long as its voluntary and there are some restrictions) is a good idea. Schools in Texas already do that and parents, students, and teachers say they feel safer. If i knew a good gun owner brought there gun to school while they taught, id feel safer-not in danger, and i come from a very anti gun area.
nope teachers will throw a tantrum and shoot students
She says that states like Illinois have insane gun violence with severe gun regulation, so her argument is "the regulations don't work". What she fails to mention is over 90% of guns used in crimes in Illinois are purchased in neighboring Indiana, a red state with one of the least restrictive gun regulations in the entire US.
Is their gun violence in Indiana?
..... so, what you're saying is that criminals in all states will have guns, and strict gun regulations only serve to disarm the law abiding? You may have a point there.
Indiana doesn't have strict gun laws and doesn't have a gun crime problem. If guns were the problem, then Indiana should have more gun crime.
Illinois does have strict gun laws. That makes it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to have guns. It's as if criminals realize it's easier for them to commit crimes in strict gun control States/cities. 🤔
MI, OH, and KT are next to Indiana as well but they dont seem to have to problem that Illinois has...do they?
It’s ironic how the “Black Guns Matter Guy” says that nearly anyone watching has probably lost someone due to a mass shooting whilst probably barely any of the European viewers can relate to that.
My thoughts exactly! Either he doesn't know how many non-Americans watch Jubilee's videos, or he's just kinda living in his little US-centric bubble.
Yeah I immediately came to the comments when he said that. Here in Belgium (and in most of the European countries), the number of gun related deaths is around 10 times smaller per 100,000 inhabitants!
stilldownwiththemutantunderground I thought about mentioning this concept of an “American bubble” too. How exciting that you came to the same conclusion and finished my comment in that sense :D
Totally correct. There is a lot of this I can’t relate to. Our country has never had a mass shooting.
This is crazy! I literally can't believe that these things are true for Americans! I know (rationally) that it is a thing but I still find it unbelievable!
18:34 most schools have on campus security guards??? Just because someone is armed doesn’t mean they’ll take action. The deputy at the Parkland shooting literally stayed outside rather than going after the shooter.
I think y’all need to get Americans vs the rest of the world or like europeans bc this is crazy
brits vs americans
i would love to see it! as an american who lives in an extremely gun pro-state, i would love to hear about things the rest of the world does. whenever i go out into public, i look for the nearest exit in case of a shooting.
elizabeth it’s so wild to me that even people that have been through such trauma don’t understand the correlation!! i hope you stay safe :(
Yesss! Americans need to get out of their own bubble!
@Shem Casimir bro you do know that the democracy in europe is built way better than yours in the us? your political system is so corrupted and makes no sense. *you're* the ones who don't control their laws lol look at what trump's doing currently
Super well done by Jubilee and everyone who was included. I really appreciated hearing from survivors. So sad to hear what they have gon through. Grateful they are speaking up.
All I hear is: "I need a gun to protect myself from others with guns."
And others with knives, bats, fists, etc.
exactly. taking guns away will only take them away from the people who use them responsibly. you think the shooters care about the law when they are killing people
Everyone agrees with your statement unironically. It's just a question of who wields the gun in defense. The government? The military? The police? Yourself? Don't act all high and mighty because you prefer to delegate the wielding of guns in self defense to someone else. How can you delegate a right to a governing body that you don't even possess yourself?
@@snakyjake9 I trust people with excessive training more than a random off the street with access to a gun.

the video is not middle ground. everyone seems to agree. i wish they would’ve put more people that where actually against guns instead of having everyone saying the same things.
Exactly. This isn't even a discussion.
Anthony Hernandez right, i was really disappointed with this video. they should’ve at least put one activist or something.
Y'all just want people to say what you want them to don't even listen to the video
Luis S.
That doesn’t make sense? I think they’re just saying middle ground is when two groups with opposing views try to come to a common ground, this group had a lot of agreement because most of the mass shooting survivors were not anti gun, so I felt the main argument was lost.
That's because nobody with any sense at all believes gun laws will stop mass shootings. It's already against the law to shoot people, so why would they not do it because their gun has been banned? More people with guns to defend themselves with DO prevent mass shootings because the shooters are cowards who won't face another person who is armed. That's why the go to "gun free" zones
"Most of us have probably lost someone to gun violence even the people watching" uhhhhh no, if you don't live in the US, it's extremely rare to know anyone that has even been confronted by a gun.
A better thing to say would be, if you live in Western Europe/developed countries. Because people in Africa,South America, and parts of Asia definitely do,
I live in Singapore and most of the population has never seen a gun outside of the ones the police carry or the ones guys serving their National service will carry when in camp. Even the police using their guns to shoot someone is such a rare occurrence that it made the news the one time it happened in idk how many years probably at least 5
I mean I live in Canada and I've been robbed at gunpoint
I live in Australia and have never even seen a real gun in this country. Guns are almost mythical creatures to me at this point
I was shocked, they do not know that's not normal outside of the US. Like everyone outside the US live like that.
As a Canadian I cannot believe what comes out of Heathers mouth
Heather reminds me of women in half of America. She's not atypical.
She profits off of people owning guns, since she teaches them for a living.. what did you expect? Typical greed.
Crime in general happens mostly in large cities. Canada has I think three large cities - so not a lot of crime to consider. The USA has hundreds of large cities. When comparing large cities where the victims are disarmed (Chicago) with large cities where the victims are allowed to arm themselves (Houston) - you are safer where criminals are worried that their victim may be armed. Heather understands this reality - and so she is happy when people she knows takes measures to be safer.
Wouldn't it make you happy to find out that a friend who hates seat belts finally tells you they changed their mind and will wear theirs from now on?
You’re Canadian, you don’t know what freedom means, of course you don’t understand.
As a responsible gun owner and now security guard, nor can I.
Why do people use “they could have used a knife” as an excuse? You’re saying killing 10 people with a knife is just as easy as using a gun? I don’t understand why that’s even brought up
They don't want restrictions on their precious guns. They even have the AUDACITY to say there isn't a gun violence problem in America but a mental health problem. In 2019 alone, there were 366 mass shootings in America. Now compare that to Countries that banned or have very STRICT gun laws and see the statistics for yourself. The problem is CLEAR as day and people need to understand that
For me I feel like if someone would of used a knife they would of killed less people not just because physically. Stabbing someone is way more personal and u have blood on ur hands then just watching someone collapse from a bullet
SouthEast Dusty but with knife crime not as many people are affected because you have to get in close proximity to the victim, yes attacks do happen but not to the extent that shootings do

So true! They better pay us more if they want us armed.
@@kathygallardo3830 I don't think you heard the argument correctly. Nobody argues to mandatory arm teachers by law or something. The argument is that among teachers there are responsible gun owners already who would like to choose to defend their school and students if only they were allowed to. So the point is to just allow those teachers who want to be able to protect to do so. Obviously, safety measures and training will need to happen too. Even if it's one out of 10 teachers. Nobody says to arm everyone mandatory, that's not feasible is that's ridiculous.
@@Yurkevich22 I heard the argument clearly and I never claimed that’s what they said in the video. People have told me to my face that us as educators NEED to be armed and that it should be required of us to be armed. Obviously that’s ridiculous.
@@kathygallardo3830 well we are commenting on the video, so I can only assume you were commenting on the video and not your personal experiences. Be assured that what you were told in person is not what the majority of so-called "pro-arm the teachers" people are saying. Most of them simply advocate for the ability for those teachers who want and can carry and protect to be able to do so. So in other words, if you don't want to and you don't feel comfortable or want to take extra responsibility - that's fine. But if there say 1 or 2 or 3 or however many teachers in your school who want to take on that responsibility, who are legal and responsible gun owners - let them do it. of course, there would need to be certain additional standards and precautions, but do you get the point now?
Ugh. .. I don't know if I'm ready for this... it's so painful even the first part just makes me want to cry.
What has happened to our country? I'm troubled that people will defend guns over people over human lives. It's the persistent devaluation of life. It really hurts.
What infuriates me the most when those poor kids are attacked and accused of falsified information after having been traumatized
Banning guns doesn't stop violence. The reason why 2nd Amendment advocates like me tell people to arm themselves is because we want every law-abiding citizen to be able to use the most effective tool to protect themselves. Even if there were no guns whatsoever within America, violence would still exist. The UK still has violent crime, the criminals use knives and it is an extreme problem there. According to the CDC there are approximately 500,000 to as high as 3,000,000 self defense uses with a firearm within the United States. The majority of mass shootings happen in gun free zones. The attackers specifically target gun free zones knowing that it is likely that no one will have a gun to stop them. We already had an "Assault Weapons" ban from 1994-2004 it had a sunshine clause in which the DOJ concluded that the ban had no effect on stopping gun violence.
Guns are designed to attack AND defend human life. Double edge sword like many things in life unfortunately.
Thankfully have a couple of firearm' to protect me from danger. If I got robbed it was being burglarized I would have something to protect me with instead of just waiting for the police while the suspect is already gone. Plus I live to see you or take my guns away if so have knives too

Right! I mean sure, it is caused by mental health problems and all that, but you can't always go straight to the root of the problem. Why not attack the issue on all fronts? Improve health care and education while limiting guns at the same time.

Yeah, 100%. It's absolutely hypocritical to say the US has a mental health problem that needs to be addressed, and in the same breath say it does not need to be more difficult to get a gun.
I had an acquaintance go on a gun rant once, specifically around mental health background checks. He said, and I quote "If the government did mental health background checks, I would not be allowed to own a gun. And that is not fair" like seriously?! I don't talk to him anymore lmao
To the guy that said mass shootings aren’t a problem because someone could use a knife instead of a gun…what instills more fear in hundreds of people? A 3 inch blade or a pistol? Guns provide shooters with quicker kills and a higher satisfaction from the thrill of scaring people. Knife and gun threats are in no way the same thing.

While it still dangerous the causality will be less than trying to stop a mass shooter.

No, absolutely no. I had teachers scream at students faces in front of me, and I have no doubt in the world that if they had a gun on them, they would've at least taken it out and pointed it to a students face. I'm not saying they would pull the trigger, but I have no doubt about a few of them pulling the trigger when some of my classmates and schoolmates retaliated and said things back.
And also, no one could prevent a student just grabbing the gun from the teacher and shooting them.

Not saying there shouldn’t be reform but the government should not even ban firearms completely

The homicide rate in California is still 500% higher and in Illinois it’s 900% higher than New Hampshire. Jubilee shared only population numbers, not per capita deaths, which are the numbers that compare apples to apples.
I hate statistics in online videos. They're always limited in what they can show and are picked specifically to promote the agenda of one side or the other. You can prove statistically that the US having more guns makes for more gun violence (more shootings in US than elsewhere)(this can also be debated as most places that are considered to have more gun violence dont track it like the US does) while simultaneously showing that banning guns yields more gun violence (Chicago, DC, NYC having overwhelmingly more shootings than anywhere else without gun restrictions) Don't assume stats prove the point for either side. They're just supporting evidence and often manipulative.
I don’t think you know what a statistic is 😂
But it's not ridiculous she's correct. The statistics don't change what she said.
This episode is definitely not “middle ground”.
Why isn’t it?
@@ANA_youre_enough oh thats cause these people don't agree with me.
@@jameslegrand848 Middle ground isn't really reached in the video because there aren't two distinct arguments in the video. It isn't NRA vs anti-guns or pro-gun control, it's NRA vs mass shooting survivors who share most of the same views as the NRA members. It was definitely an interesting video in terms of being a discussion, but there was no real debate.
Hugo Armstrong it’s like all of them vs the one dude
As a British viewer that's grown up in a very different cultural approach towards carrying guns, I felt like this episode lacked proper diversity of thought. As has been said, these weren't really opposing sides - although I was surprised that they weren't more different. In the UK it isn't radical to believe that there shouldn't be guns altogether and I understand that the US might be different in that regard but there has been much more radical opinions on these videos previously. It was really frustrating to watch people talking about the "fun" of guns next to survivors and even for survivors to not be anti-gun. I understand that it is possible to have different opinions within a set of experiences. But I really do feel that this video didn't properly find any sort of middle ground because the views were not different and diverse enough.
Heather kinda felt insensitive with how she can joke about guns with people who survived mass shootings and who had loved ones died because of it.
She just seems like the Karen of guns to me.
Heather wasn't kind of insensitive she was insensitive, I bet she's a lobbyist for the nra.
@@supernatural5354 Shes like the Karen of guns. Guns are the solution to every problem kind of person.
@@elyseeblackstone4597 no, Karens don't like guns
It felt like everyone else here was trying to have a heart to heart but she was just trying to prove a point.
That might be the most American thing i’ve ever watched.
You’re on an American channel
10 people: got killed by a mass shooting
The democratic party: ALL GUNS ARE BAD
the rest of America: D:
@@CaptainCrud116 I get the joke you are trying to make. However that is not the case. "The rest of america" It is split kinda close.
OpO Cola Seriously, reassure me, you’re just pretending to no understand the joke right??
haha guns = america wow funny
There’s no gun show loop hole. I’m surprised the NRA people missed it.
I just LOVE how Heather says that there are more shootings in California and Illinois then there are in New Hampshire because of the strict gun control . Like girl California is like 17x bigger then New Hampshire
Guns don't teach statistics, I guess. Or they teach how to manipulate statistics. Glad Jubilee sorta called that out by providing the numbers on screen.
Fine, there’s more mass shooting in 4 city blocks of Chicago in 1 week than 1 year in New Hampshire
Now try to remember that when comparing the US with tiny countries like Australia and European countries. SMH
@@insiditious6203 Also New Hampshire doesn't have an Urban hellholes that'll enable the violence?
@@ExeErdna insisting that gun control works when the only states that have strict gun control have more violent crime while the states that don’t don’t have absurd gun control, is cognitive dissidence.. here’s a better solution: all the anti gun people move to lib states, ban guns, and leave the states that abide by the constitution alone.
I’m from Europe and this whole conversation seemed full on nonsense to me. Every country deals with mental health problems but not every country deals with gun violence. Period.
Guns are the most popular choice due to culture. More lives are saved by guns than killed. The amounts saved are in the tens of thousands while casualties from shootings are in the hundreds. Take away guns and you screw law abiding citizens from defending themselves from every single other form of crime which are way bigger problems than school shootings ever was.
If you want gold standard gun laws look to the Czech Republic
True
Seeing this conversation (in combination with our country’s last 4 years especially) has made me really ashamed to be an American
@@supperfuntime36 Please move out of there or get better presidents. I would actually let someone in my country (and I'm talking your situation) that does not want to be in America in the next 8 years.
i’m only half way through but how tf could some of these people not admit America has a mass shooting problem....🤦♀️
Yup. Doesn't matter what you think the cause is for the problem, the problem is there.
Because were not the country that has the most of them nor the most deaths by them. Several European countries have more deaths from mass shootings than we do.
A mass shooting is defined as two or more people shot soo
@@slipknotmfkrlocust8843 WRONG. Where did you get that from? Sources?
@@slipknotmfkrlocust8843 Source?
As a teacher, I find this conversation so wild. I could never fathom the idea of guns in my school. Thankfully, I don't live in America
We are thankful you don't either
I am thankful you don't live here either!
You just had to add in that last bit, didn't you.
@@novatare yes, yes i did
jc most american comment section ever
ahmed isn't even insulting yalls country y do u guys immediately take it personally
I really don't think this was cast well. Everyone seemed to have very similar opinions which defeats the whole purpose of an open debate. There was no real anti-gun person, nor someone who had facts/ evidence to support that side
No, I just don't think you understand the point of the video, the video is "Two opposite sides clash and have nonstop arguments", its "two groups that are connected in someway try to find common ground", and they did just that.
@@Hieroph4nt It's really easy to find common ground when you are on the same general side as someone. It is much more *meaningful* to see what common ground can be found between people who fundamentally disagree or have a difference of opinion or experiences. As I see it, that's the point of the series.
@@marymik7372 I agree. The video with gangmembers and vegans vs hunters had common problems and they talked about it. I think they should have made that clear before they put the two groups against each other.
Nope it’s just that they understand the value of guns.
@MamaWuf three shooting survivors do not speak for the whole. One of them even says that he doesn't speak for the whole. Take that absolutism somewhere else. This is about healthy debate, not "Haha get fucked, you're wrong!" 🙄
“You don’t hear truck reform” yeah because trucks aren’t a weapon and aren’t meant to harm people... guns literal purpose is to harm, whether or not it’s animals or humans.
Also truck reform has already happened! People need to get a licence to drive a vehicle.
Honestly when she said that it really pissed me of, you never see as many intentional truck violence cases in Europe as you do gun violence cases in the US
@@angusobrien2489 100%, they just take any statistic as an excuse to defend their "freedom"
Guns’ main purpose are for defense. Sorry, the real world isn’t a utopia. People buy guns in the masses to keep themselves and their families safe. If you make it harder for law-abiding citizens to buy guns legally, less law-abiding citizens buy guns to defend themselves, and criminals continue to buy off the black market
@@clalyrics441 honestly, before I was skeptical about the 2nd amendment, but in the last few years radical democrats convinced me of the right to self defense and bear arms.
Heather: there's a mass shooting in chicago almost every weekend
Also Heather: Mass shootings are not a problem in America
EXACTLY! I was like what??
Well, In Chicago it’s gang violence and gangsters shooting people with illegal guns every weekend, that’s not a mass shooting a mass shooting is like a school shooting, also statistically mass shooting are Rare
Well it's Chicago...
@@josearguettabitoni6448 a mass shooting is an incident where more than 4/5 (according to most definitions) are shot/killed. Regardless of where it happens and what type of people
@@ellenm2509 Well, what if the Mafia kidnaps 5 rivals and executes them? Is that a mass shooting? I would define it has a shooting in a public or private gathering like a school shooting or a shooting in a mall or a store that Would be mass shooting not 3 guys doing a drive by on a few thugs
Best group of people I’ve seen yet on this channel. They all had valid points and spoke so eloquently. So sorry to all the victims.
