Uvalde and gun control | DW Documentary

- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2022
- After the deadly mass-shooting at an elementary school in the town of Uvalde, the United States remains divided over the “right to bear arms”. For some, it is a fundamental right - for others, a fundamental evil.
The mass-shooting at Robb Elementary School shook the small town of Uvalde, Texas. It left twenty-one people dead, most of them children. As the first of the victims are laid to rest, political divisions are once again emerging across the US. On the one hand, there is a wave of solidarity with the victims' families, coupled with calls for stricter and more effective gun safety laws. On the other hand, there are the staunch defenders of an unrestricted right to bear arms. They believe it is people, not weapons, that cause such tragedies, and they use this argument to block any reform. Examples of these two irreconcilable points of view can even be found in Uvalde itself, just days after the tragic massacre. A report by Carolina Chimoy.

Hey DW, now do a story about the authorities in Uvalde and their heavy-handed intimidation of residents as they try to cover up the lack of police response to the shooting.
why
DW only produces political propaganda for the far-left.
Lack of police response was due to the fact that children were from Latin families.
@@muhammadakram4303 That's odd, so were most of the police.
@@muhammadakram4303 Most if not all the cops were also Latin descent. I think it was cowardice, I just saw a photo of them outside the classroom with shields and rifles and they didn't go in claiming that they were waiting for the right equipment. They cold have gone in right away.

Hard to make sense of one gun tragedy after another as someone who grew up where guns are not legal...
Perhaps, everyone in the US needs to live in a guarded community and send kids to private school with private security like the affluent politicians.
Funny you bring up politicians. Do you think they needs armed guards? If yes, why?
38k vehicle related deaths in 2020
45k gun deaths in 2020
54% of those gun deaths are suicides.
@@crossrhodes14 yes that's a great question...
why do the politicians live in a state of mind where they believe they need guards & guns also special conditions & privileges ?
@@crossrhodes14 if you think at the US president and then at yourself, do you think the chance of someone wants to shoot/harm one of you is equal?
In which country are guns “illegal”? I don’t know of a single one.
The sad thing is that those that argue that it’s not the guns but instead it’s mental health tend to be the ones who object to universal healthcare that would actually allow to ensure access to mental health treatment for everyone.
Free counseling at pretty much every church.
@@ArcanistBlack They are first of all religious (duh) which doesn’t work for everyone and they are not psychiatrists or psychotherapists and the shooters are definitely nuts.
Nope. We need universal healthcare. It’s cheaper than our current system, too.
Win - win.
@@ArcanistBlack big fat no, just like when they cover up child abuse and try to fix the gay away ? like no.
Do you have any solution to any our problems that isn't just raising taxes and expanding the government
Americans adore killing each other, this much is evident now!
Good luck attracting American tourism with _THAT!_
Uvalde didn't have good guys with guns that day. I'm all for an age debate, mental health red flags, etc. And where the Federal government fails, the individual states can establish their own laws. But, that police force down there needs to be taken to task as well. "Good guys?"
One thing I will say for myself personally is that these stories always leave me in tears. When all the facts come to light something smart might get done, but it won't stop the grief that you feel for those kids who had the misfortune of just living their happy lives. Absolute soul wrenching situation.
"Why does this keep happening?" asks again only country that this happens in.
Your gun laws not strick enough!
America isn’t the only country this happens.
@@friedaconradie8369 they need to ban the guns !
@@ArcanistBlack Really? Which other developed country has regular school shootings?
@@MonikaBardell so? The people speaking are Americans talking about stuff in America. Who cares which news outlet films it?
"If it can happen here, it can happen anywhere." But it DOESN'T happen anywhere else. Only in America are mass shootings a daily thing, and school shootings something that happens every week.
@C K guns are a big part of the problem.
@C K so what you are saying is that semi auto weapons arent guns?
And what's with Iceland? Not that Icelend is comparable with the US in any way but they have in fact very regulated gun laws.
Also I would admit, that mental health and especially its treatment would be also a big factor, true. Problem is, the same political groups who are defending liberal gun laws usually are against universal health care etc. So what's your point?
@C K who the fuck cares how they will pay the hospital bills right?
But ok thats just another big US Problem...
I just said that guns are big part of the problem and you replied that then mass shootings would be way more common when full auto where still legal, so you are implying that NO full auto weapons are not guns, otherwise your reply doesnt make any sence.
You rly should check your facts about iceland. 1. Iceland has like an eighth of the population density of the US 2. its a small isolated island with no foreign borders, 3. there is universal healthcare in iceland, 4. it has the fewest poor people in the world 5. it has like half the overall crime rate of the US 6. it still has less guns per capita compaired to the US but most important it has strict gun regulations! You cant just go in a store and buy a gun as you would in some US states. Before you have to take lectures, you have to go through a mental health check, you have to tell the police some kind of reason to own a gun, like hunting or for sports (self defence is not a valid awnser here), there will be a detailed criminal background check and you have to take some kind of final practice session at a shooting range. Ah yeah, and oc they have a national database to track every owned gun.
So no, Iceland is in NOW WAY comparable to the US.
@C K but the amount of tax you'd pay towards public healthcare over your lifetime would be significantly less than the amount you'd pay for medical services and even if you still opt for private healthcare you'd most likely still recieve a tax rebate.
Only in America? 🤔 My cousins died by a mass shooting in Africa so not only America.
It has been almost 1 year, nothing has been done. We continue to live like this.
The argument made by the weapon seller at 7:00. The moment he compare gun with car, he already lost. To be eligible to own and drive a car, you must pass more steps than owning a gun.
You're confusing owning a car with driving it on public roads. You just lost. Well done.
@@Ausf Lol, you are not required to get a license to be able to shoot a gun. You just lost. Well done...
@@GrandChessboard You're not required to get a license to own a car or drive on private property.
@@brian2964 But they do. You have to get a license or permit to protest in public.
@@Ausf Many cities would tow an unregistered car, even if it's on your property and you haven't been driving it around. No license, sure, but still gotta register it for most areas.
I understand the historical precendent, the way the right to own guns speaks to the heart of American liberalism. I understand the argument behind "guns don't kill people, people kill people" and why people may feel that the only way out of a situation like this is to own guns for self-defense, since " criminals get guns illegally anyway" .But I feel that having guns enables and encourages violence, it's a lot easier and faster to kill with guns than it is with knives or other weapons.. and most of the guns used in mass shootings are probably bought legally anyway, given how easy it is to get hold of them. I feel like nothing is going to change because of the gun lobby, though.
I don’t want to live in a society that is so monitored and controlled that there isn’t any risk of danger.
Bribery is legal in American politics. Let that sink in for a moment ...
As a result of that NOTHING will change.
@@50-50_Grind it's called lobbying and paying of governors :)
I agree to a certain extent that guns enourage violence at least to immature people. I have gotten into road rage incidents wherein the thought of just ending it with a gun seems like a sweet option. Where does maturity come into the picture, the instant realization that it would be better to say sorry even if you were right and hurts my pride. The realization that a fistfight might end in a free trip to jail and shooing someone gives probably will give you an extended prison hotel accomodation. The only time I will draw and shoot is when I have no other option.
I think twice on most situations not to get too angry ,especially when people are just acting stupid. I fear that people just starting to shoot because they have guns

Every time there’s a gun related crisis in America, all that the government says is, “we will fix the background check.” Clearly, fixing the background check isn’t cutting it anymore. America needs more than a background check.
Punish the criminals!
@@Browne7100 I dont think thats been a problem.
@@Browne7100 Shut your mouth dude. You are clearly unware of what you are talking about. The gun show loophole is a myth. All licensed firearms dealers are required to give backround checks. And like you said backround checks don't do anything because criminals can obtain their firearms illegally. If you think gun control will work in America you are incorrect. Banning guns gets people shot.
Yea, and given how racist our criminal justice system is, you get free systemic racism with every background check
@@5rings16 everyone's a criminal, some people just get caught
Could someone please explain to me what gun control laws would ever mean to a criminal? They are criminals...
It would make it much harder for them to get these guns and it would drastically limit these shootings. Especially long weapons like the AR-15. A teenager that is still in puberty shouldnt be allowed to own such a weapon. No civilian should be.
Europe is twice as big as the US. It had like.. around 20 school shootings max in the last decade? Probably less?
The US had nearly 300.
@@spurs_7798 Explain how, not that it would arbitrarily.
Yes, they should, all teenager should learn how to hunt. Or do you not even know what an AR-15 is?
Go look into total murder rate in europe, it's not any better. The US is not in the top 20 of murder rate. You're just eliminating 'guns' from the equation. Have a nation that is brainwashed into thinking they don't need a gun and they won't think they need one. That doesn't stop them from murdering each other.
Hmmm...I wonder if alcohol is not a Constitutional right while self defense is.
The second you use kids to propose gun control laws is the second you expose your obnoxious view that you don’t care about kids you just don’t like guns
I don't really know anyone "Using" kids for wanting gun laws... the kids just don't wanna get shot. Tho you find a lotta weirdos in the US defending the billion dollar gun industry cause Americans love businesses more than people haha
How about police accountability? They had more people, better weapons, but stood outside and did nothing.
We have tons of gun control laws in this country which are hardly enforced. Richmond, VA's CA admitted several years ago over 70% of illegal gun possessions charges are dropped. In fact, when Project Exile was introduced a few decades ago with cooperation from Tim Kaine and the NRA, over 80% of convicted felons who are caught with a firearm have charged dropped. If anyone can explain to me why we want to make more laws and never enforce them is beyond me. Believe me, when I lived on Fort Berthold, there is a good reason why on the Rez almost everyone owned a firearm because of 7 Mile Bloods (can anyone explain why BLACK gang members from Detroit are dealing Fentanyl to Native Americans), Mexican drug cartels and other black drug gangs from Chicago, Twin Cities and Milwaukee. If the far left wing job prosecutors would do their jobs and throw gang members in jail where they belong, we wouldn't have a bunch gun toting thugs running around the Rez killing NDNs with their drugs and guns!!!! Really, how come the DOJ, FBI and US Marshalls do their job and keep the rat bastards of the REZ!!!! I'm surprised there hasn't been a 2nd or 3rd massacre since 10 years ago.
If a country allows AR-15s to be purchased at all, then it has to be said that America does not have sane and effective gun laws at all. Unlike the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Japan and Australia which does not have 45,000 annual gun deaths.
America has failed its people with its idiotic and backward Second Amendment law.
Unless you're going to find some way to remove the right individuals from society, blaming the individual can't accomplish anything.
How about stop thinking only about yourself ? Your pro gun arguments is basically like criminals will break the law so we should not enforce it
Why you don’t feel that way about migrants crossing the border
Should we not deport them ?
How about smoking weed while driving it’s a crime
By your gun logic, we should arrest those smoking weed while driving because well they’ll smoke weed anyway
I agree Because it's was a group decision from the authority leaders they are all responsible one way or another..but the shoulda ,coulda woulda if only _ isn't going to solve much without moving forward. I think law enforcement is solely to blame for the misinformation _ not telling the city & the parents what's going on & trying to cover things up
I'm telling you the police officer that was tazing the parents & roughing them up instead of saving the lil babies ...they need to be fired & ban from policing. That was piss poor ....how dare you... They showed them selfs for exactly who they are an how they deal with crisis...piss poor TX piss poor lying
Gov an his police chief ....good guy Mr authority is a coward.
so your saying a gun has hands and feet? got it
They planned a drill at the school, police wait over an hour for the cue to go into the school. Training drill.
The World's most rich and powerful democratic country on this earth. Yet can't even protect its citizens. Shame
Yes those police who waited an hour outside are pathetic. That’s why we must be able to protect ourselves
I find it quite surprising that after three generations in the United States, some are still not able to give an interview to an international media in English. Isn't that a bit embarrassing?
Really? Thats what you're gonna comment about?
"These weapons can be destructive if in the wrong hands..." Are you people for real?
Clearly what we need is more guns. If every child had a gun, they would have been able to protect themselves. Think of the children.
Good news for war lords of Yankee
Funny how these people never shoot up a military base
If the cops aren't gonna do their job, atleast let me have a gun for myself to protect my family
When the criminals and police give up their guns I'll consider it myself. Let me know when that happens. Until then don't tread on me, thy will be done.
If cops need to protect themselves from criminals with guns I need a gun to protect myself, if cops don’t need guns to protect themselves from criminals but are keeping them anyway then I definitely need a gun to protect myself
DW failed to cover the Uvalde police response.
Since the tragedy in columbine school districts have had time to make sure the perimeter of the campus doesn’t allow anyone with no business at a campus to enter. In my school district their is entry control points to enter the campus. Then you need to be permitted entrance through the front door. There is also police isd officers at the campuses as well. I have my youngest son still in school and I contacting the school district to see what else they will be doing to give us peace of mind that our children are safe. Too many questions here that are unanswered beginning with the 18 year old that purchased the weapons. He worked at a fast food restaurant, so how did he have the money to purchase those weapons and the ammunition. The conversation of the door being left unsecured by a teacher which gave him easy access to the building. Law enforcement was there immediately with the necessary equipment needed to such a situation, that’s what the photo showed in the hallway. They had the necessary equipment they were needing but what they failed to have was the valor to confront the shooter. Only 1 shooter yet all of those 300 plus law enforcement officers didn’t do what they signed up for a law enforcement officer. They failed the victims. Something is wrong with this recent tragedy. Why are they withholding all of the information. This cover up seems to be coming from the top, way up from the top.
Every time this happens nothing is done so it’s going to keep happening, I pray that this time they do something to stop kids from being able to by weapons because they are not toys , rip to all the victims of every school shooting in America, please please let this stop, thank you DW
Exactly
It’s a USA-problem and absolutely nothing will change this time either. Look at the rest of the world and learn…
This is very sad but putting laws to stop people from buying guns is not going to stop these tragedies people find ways to get them.we to have armed police officers in every schools
Trying to control access to guns won’t work and won’t have support. The only reasonable thing people could do is do a better job protecting the schools with gates, locked entry points, and armed guards. The reason why Democrats don’t want to do this is because they are more interested in taking away guns than saving childrens lives.
why is America not banning guns ! So how will they stop violence if they don’t ban them
The gun industry in the US is an incredibly lucrative business. Nothing will stand in the way of it and its profitability margin. Our capitalistic society has spoken.
You're free to build your own firearms and bullets.
@@crossrhodes14 No, you are not free to do that. Manufacturing your own gun without a proper license is illegal in the US.
@@swanky_yuropean7514 And government is going to catch me how exactly?
@@crossrhodes14 How is that relevant. It is still illegal.
@@swanky_yuropean7514 As is killing people, yet somehow you are trying to tie crazies doing evil things to capitalism.
See but the thing is one of the only things that could’ve possibly saved some if not most was if 1 or both of those teachers had CCW’s & had a gun somewhere whether it be in a holster or hidden. At least if I was in that situation that would be the only way that I would know of to take that power away from the gunman instead of him just mercilessly and callously killing little kids one by one because there’s nothing to stop him. This breaks my heart into a million pieces 💔🥺
The most sad country in the world... :/ I tell this and believe this from my 12' years of age, and i never will go to US even if it was free to go or something, so much potential in so many things space / music / movies etc but at the same time so many fail things like police lows / gun lows / war with other countries for national benefits.

If this kind of violence can happen anywhere, why does it seem to be only happening in America? What are the other underlying factors that lead us Americans to expect school aged children to defend our right to bear arms with their life?
You only “see” it in America because there is a political agenda attacked to it. And from my opinion it would be simple to protect children by making schools more guarded; fences, locked entry points, armed security but instead of doing that schools are being left wide open and the children made sacrifices to try and revoke the 2A
@@ArcanistBlack what sort of life is that for children. I look at children in Europe, free to play, being children without any of these threats. The only way to do that is to revoke the second amendment. You can try and twist the narrative any which way but the rest of the world shows you what is right. America is a first world country with a 3rd world homicide rate
Good ol' American Hubris!
@@ArcanistBlack
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Other countries who don’t allow any Joe Blow to walk around with a killing machine don’t have this problem.
@@ArcanistBlack Most schools in European nations have neither fences, nor armed security, and there isn't even remotely the same amount of shootings. Besides, there are other measures that could be put in place, instead of revoking the second amendment outright (which, by the way, demands the right to bear arms only in the context of a well-regulated militia). I agree that the shooter is the one choosing to use or abuse the firearm. Why not put them through training of at least the same degree of severity as someone who wishes to operate a vehicle? Firearms training and a psychological evaluation in combination would already weed out many who are unfit to wield a firearm, and stop impulsive firearm purchases.
Learn to live together with the guns, which is called herd immunity.
take illegal gun ownership away from criminals not gun rights away from law abding citizens
Why us govt is not amending the constitution so that keeping gun should be removed from fundamental right.
@Stuck ‘n’ Stoned I didn't understand logic how it will become war zone if gun will be banned.there are many country where citizens are not allowed to keep automatic weapons they are safe and peacefull.
The people ask for states to take your self defence ,to control the port of gun is give to the states the right about your lifes.
Yeah. The guns aren't the problem. The guns have always been there. The problem is in society. Some of it is that the kids today are weak and entitled. Some of it is technology. You grow up browsing social media and internet videos and all that dopamine has consequences. Masculinity is discouraged. So is rough housing and rough play. Bullying is ignored, and kids just don't come forward about it anyway.
Guns aren't the problem yet somehow mass shootings happen daily in the US
@@20thReality Daily? No. Maybe once a month. When you have hollywood pushing revenge movies what do you think you'll get? Like I said before, we've always had the guns. The issue is a small percentage of people. We cannot structure our entire society around a small subset of our population, and guns are a major cornerstone of our society.
@@techtutorvideos And where did I say it didn't enter into it in any way? Access obviously plays a part, but I'd rather live in a society of personal responsibility. I don't want to live in a nanny state. We're already seeing a lot of encroachment on personal freedoms across the board in the name of safety. I'm done with it.
The real problem here is mental health. It's easy for people to get isolated, have negative thoughts, fall into toxic internet forums and perform these actions in real life.
We have people with mental health issues here in Finland. Let me guess, your next excuse is drugs? We have people here who take amphetamine and methamphetamine and drive car or motorbike at 200+ km/h. What next? Drunk people? We most likely have more of those per capita than US.
So, where are our mass shootings? By your logic we should have them all the time.

Lack of affordable mental heath treatment is a more likely suspect.
Columbine, I believe, was the first school shooting involving a powerful rifle over 20 years ago. If the first massacre of children didn’t bring about change then it’s just a performative talking point.
The first school shooting with a semi-automatic rifle occurred way back in 1976 at Cal State - Fullerton University
....and Columbine was the ONLY real event we've had,...everything else to date have all been scheduled DHS exercises going live in the media.

A huge part of the problem isn't necessarily firearms per se. Instead the root of the problem is American fascination with (gun) VIOLENCE. Everyone that points directly to Guns as the problem is missing the "first cause" in the chain of violence. The fact of the matter is violence is not only spread as a disease, but it's also tolerated as a huge part of American culture. It's become "normalized" and few people want to accept the responsibility for the culture that breeds violence. All a person needs it do is survey the top grossing movies and TV shows over the past 10-20 yrs (or more) an it becomes so apparent only fools could miss the evidence that violence generates profit. Fifty years ago, when America was more "civil" in its favorite forms of entertainment TV and moves, even when there was gun use, there was little to no bloodshed and the "good" guys always won. Comedy and healthy relationships was just as important if not more important than violence. Civility was an important undercurrent in public life and more often portrayed in entertainment. Not so much anymore because the entertainment industry came to realize there was an untapped "dark side" of human nature and why not seek profit from it? So since the 1970s violence has become a big part of American entertainment. Nowadays, one can find a litany of "grossness" in archives of American entertainment from the past few decades. I did an informal survey on violence in entertainment and school shootings since the 1960s. Some will claim "correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation." It also doesn't mean there isn't any direct causation either. My informal survey shows that for every decade from the 1960s as the quantity of violence in American entertainment grew, actual school shootings have largely doubled every decade since the 60's. It's just more easy and less guilt ridden to point fingers at other seemingly more obvious causes. I suspect until American values change and the things people spend their money on, little will happen to effect violence other than making a small impact by curtailing the sale of firearms to law abiding citizens.
All it takes is 10 Minutes and you could possibly own 5 guns with Ammo in America ! Just like that ! Imagine someone that hates your guts being able to do that so easily ! It's too easy , it's dangerous 😐

All the police involved will have to move out of town.
Ulvade was planned by some sick evil whacko! Those lives were expendable to reach a goal, those kids and those teachers didn't matter. The police were in on the plan, the border patrol was not. Ask yourself what resulted from the murders at Ulvade, who benefited from the murders? Look at the big picture and use your common sense, look at the murderer and his circumstances. Why was Kyle Rittenhouse prosecuted? Why do the politiians want to disarm the folks who never broke a law, by passing a bill that allows the government to take away the arms of law abiding citizens and ignoring due process? Because the elites have plans for the country and you're not on the winning side of the changes they have in store for us. Be prepared, we are in for some tough times!!
I'm a second amendment absolutest. I demand tactical nukes to be sold in Walmarts because I need protection from the government.

Gun culture
Earlier today. I saw a group of aprox 10 teenagers with big toy guns, shooting at each other at a real parking garage full of cars coming & going. Summer vacation just began, where are the parents? Do they know what their teenagers are doing? Where did they spend their money? I know parents are busy with work but take time to teach them. The garage is not a residential area it's at a commercial building ! They have to travel to it
True, it's the person fault not the gun. However, eliminating the chances of people obtaining such caliber or any caliber of gun would drastically prevent such situation. The gun was military grade rifle, hence, those popo were afraid. If harsh requirements were in place before you're able to get a gun, then that teenager shouldn't have been able to obtain such caliber. In turn, those popo wouldn't be so afraid then it would've been resolved even faster with lesser casualties.
Militarily goes for the lowest bidder. They aren't gonna issue an $1,800 rifle to each infantrymen. So no it was not a military grade rifle.

“Why do we need to put the need for people to own guns higher than the need for our children to be safe?”
Because a disarmed society is one that can easily be controlled and taken over. You blame all the people who own guns and are law abiding citizens for the actions of criminals. News flash, gun control will NOT stop a criminal from getting a gun. A criminal being definition does not care for or adhere to the law. Blaming people like me, who has two guns in my house because I’d like to protect my family and my belongings from any who wishes to do us harm, for the actions of this despicable human being is just people looking for a scapegoat. You’re enraged and you have to find someone to blame. But you’re blaming the wrong people. And you think that I, or people like me, don’t feel that same rage for this? You think we don’t have empathy or sympathy for the loss of life, especially children? I’ve had enough of getting blamed. Mourn the loss of these children without making it political. Because instead of mourning, you’re talking about gun control. It’s sick.
The SOLUTION for TEXAS:

I can hack there government databases for information just need contacts and numbers🙂👍
Define Assault Rifle. At least know the topic before you speak on the topic.
Raise your children to be strong and courageous warrior monks. This is the solution.
Follow the money and you get the reason
"Good guys" with guns failed to protect innocent children. The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution literally says a *well-regulated* militia has the right to keep and bear arms. Speaking as a citizen of the US, the gun control laws in place currently are **not** well-regulated. Who the heck needs a semi-automatic with the capacity to render a body so unrecognizable that DNA matches are required to prove who they are??
This, and every mass shooting in America, is a bloody tragedy. One that should never be repeated. I hate that mass shootings have become such a regular occurrence in this country. It's disgusting and something must be done to curb it.
The British, Australians and New Zealanders immediately solved their gun violence issues by banning easy and casual access to guns.
The United States cannot have a veritable tidal wave of guns in its society and not have many tens of thousands of gun deaths each and every year. Any thinking to the contrary is juvenile and idiotic.
As usual, someone that doesn't understand what the word literally means. It says that a well regulated militia is necessary. Where do you think the militia comes from? It's the people. The same people whose right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed by people like you.
Well-regulated in the 18th century tended to be something like well-organized, well-armed,
well-disciplined. Not regulated by government. Point of 2nd amendment is providing populace with means to remove tyrannical government.
The good guys were getting their heads smashed into the pavement by the police while the cops stood around not stopping the shooting.
@@Ausf The proposition that individual states ought to have their own armies and air forces under the guise of a ‘militia’ is totally absurd. These critical functions and responsibilities ought to be exclusively reserved by the federal government.
As for gun laws, just about everybody outside the US feels that their gun laws and prevailing gun culture are utterly idiotic. A country with _hundreds of thousands_ of gun deaths over a decade is totally deranged. This sad and avoidable death toll only happens in America.
If you have got your eyes on eternity, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are not here forever and we know not when our time is up (Remember, " it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" Hebrews 9:27)
I'm from California gun laws are very strict but the bad guy all have them gun laws do not work. Mental health is a very real issue in this country but no one is addressing it why ?

This shouldn't be used to push gun control, it should be obvious as to why people own guns, the police will not always be there to protect you and you may need to do it yourself, yes, bad people do bad things, but it's nothing compared to what good people can do with guns
"bad people do bad things, but it's nothing compared to what good people can do with guns"
Then why does the Us have a 3rd world homicide rate, most of it shootings?
What about a higher age limit? The shooters were mostly young and not mentally mature. My suggestion would be at least 30 years of age, below that only if the job or the personal danger situation requires it. Young people are not allowed to buy beer at the age of 18, but a gun is not a problem? Where is the proportionality there?
Owning a firearm isn’t a privilege, it’s a right. The government can’t deny a legal adult of their rights if they haven’t done anything wrong.
@@ArcanistBlack What about when the gunman is under 18? Will you still feel the same way? Who will you hold responsible? The parents? Your precious NRA? I live in Kentucky and in 1997, there was a school shooting where the gunman was only 14 and killed 6 people.

One has to ask. With all the problems needing to be solved in this country, inflation, food shortages, high rent, wages, open border issues, China, Russia, coming great recession, and etc. why is this administration spending sooooo much time on going after gun owners, when there are so many other causes of death in this country that dwarf gun deaths, or threats. Especially when you take suicide out of the picture which counts for many deaths. Any one wants to die, just take fentinol. Don't have to blow your brains out. This country's protests, and gun attention is extremely focused in the wrong direction. If we don't take care of the economic problems about ready to plague this country under Biden's administration, suicides will double. Not because of guns, but because of your economic welfare, and standard of living. This administration has half destroyed this country in the first two years of Biden's administration, and will destroy the other half in his last two years of his presidency. The attention to gun ownership is a diversion of the public away from the real problems about to engulf this nation. Why is not our government going after the Cartel that is killing 80,000 - 100,000 our people every year? A thousand more times than mass shooters are killing.
The Answer is extremly obvious: You, Skitz, do not understand why they go after Gun-Owners.
You cant really comprehend that other Countrys have smarter Gun-Laws
and that changing your Gun-Laws will prevent Problems.
The very Concept 'Hey, if we stop allowing 10 Years Old to Buy TANKS,
wont that stop Schools being bulldozed by Tanks all the time?' is going right beyond you.
You have kids being shot dead in classrooms, and still don't understand why they want gun restrictions? The mind boggles...
salute to sacrifice of these brave children to protect their fellow Americans right to bear arms
We dont negotiate our rights away!!
Around 100 children die in school shootings yearly. If we look at the most conservative estimations of DGUs we can see at least 40000 of them. Do you want to trade 40000 lives for 100?

i honestly prefer they banned guns, so if people do want to murder it takes a lot of effort. and is as inconvenient as possible. since right now they make it really easy if you just buy a gun.
An anti-gun commercial and not a documentary, typical of today's worldwide media which has become like the old Pravda, the voice of the government. You would think the German media would be more interested in how the people of their country will keep warm this winter, rather than firearms issues in the USA.
Uvalde will never be the same indeed...
6:44 BS! It should be common sense to suspect a latent criminal who wants to buy 2 assault rifles right after his birthday and yet that gun seller didn’t even think. The fault shouldn’t just fall on the shooter alone. Everyone involved is responsible.
No personal responsibility left in this world. It’s always every one else’s fault that didn’t do it…
@@jameswhite9300 School officials never recorded his behavior so it was never reported to the police. The seller needs to do more than just a background check not just because he was told to do so. He should’ve contact his parents to let them know which would’ve discourage the shooter from shooting his own grandmother. Also since he checked his ID he should’ve notice that he recently turned 18 so he should’ve test his behavior by limiting his options on firearms and ammunition, not giving him two assault rifles. I’m mean come on it’s painfully obvious! But then again governor Abbott signed the “Constitutional Carry Bill” and “7 laws that protects second amendment rights.” It just means that gun sellers in Texas are using those laws as a scapegoat so that don’t have to care about how they’re doing their job. Its still the gun sellers’ job to give guns to “LAW ABIDING CITIZENS” after all but apparently he chose not to do enough, completely entrusting the recently 18 year old Robb shooter to own firearms. Unreal.
@Exculpatory Shōgun You can't be serious. I never intend to treat this conversation like its a movie. Something is not normal if the Oasis Outback gun seller thinks he's doing his job right and some gun owners even disagree with his decision. It’s so painfully obvious that you don’t even need a psychology degree to see what’s wrong with a young Wendy’s employee saving up to purchase two AR-15s and "1657 total rounds of ammunition." Even conspiracy theorists questioned about the Robb shooter's use/gain of income. No one needs that much ammo to defend themselves nor for hunting unless they're plotting to use it against the masses, not even your brother-in-law. You're right about Texas law enforcement not trying as much to be like Florida law enforcement and that the Robb shooter bought the gun legally. It just means that something needs to change and its up to the people of Texas on whether they want to prevent mass shooting history from repeating itself or not.
Time for a story on the NRA an organization that's main purpose is not to protect anybody's 2nd Amendment rights but to maintain a large marketplace for the gun and ammunition manufacturers.
COME AND TAKE EM!!!!!!!
Let's not dismiss the fact that a listed side effect of antidepressants is uncontrollable acts of violence, and yet they're handed out like candy.
That doesn’t matter, if the age limit is higher for this type of weapons. One problem doesn’t disappear just because you’re finding another one. In Sweden you have to be 18 to buy a air weapon and this type of weapon is a dream at best. 0 school shootings vs xxxx in the USA.

@@phoenixblanco3892 While you’re laughing kids die every week. The solution you like does obviously not work. In other countries we prioritize the life of kids before some silly “rights to protect” something that’s safe without guns.

Weird that you can’t realize what’s the difference between USA and the rest of the world. I’m a member in a gun club and I’ve tried to shoot with a lot of different handguns in a safe environment, so I’m not “anti guns”, but I’m against army weapons for teenagers.

@@phoenixblanco3892 I don’t know where you get your numbers from but ironically you just wrote another reason to have less guns in the society. A lot of people die of guns. Less guns, less tragical deaths. It’s so simple but still you’re talking about the pathetic “rights”.
I really hope the tragic outcome never comes close to you, it maybe change your mind of guns - too late. Doesn’t you agree with me about the fact all the other countries does something right? Do you think the USA only problem is ok and not a biggie?!
Triste realidad
Children are innocent, & should naturally go to heaven...
We live in an era of cancel culture and a woke generation. These mass shootings evolved from poor parenting or no parents at all. Today's parents are afraid of their children, afraid of disciplining and instilling rules.
The result is parents trying to become "best friends" with their kids and this will never work.
Setting down rules and discipline doesn't make you the bad guy. It's your job and responsibility. Instilling pride, integrity, honor, self respect and respect for others starts at home. Without these attributes, your kids grow up thinking the world owes them something and if they don't get what they want, the result is anger, rage, and criminal behavior .
Stop being afraid of your kids and start acting like responsible parents. The way your kids act out is a reflection of your parenting.
Remember that.
I agree with all what you write
Other countries do not have school shooting issues to the same degree that America has because guns are more heavily regulated. That is the core of this. To make this about "wokeness" and "cancel culture" is so ridiculous. American politicians care more about the NRA's money than they do children's lives.
@@elananova that sounds like a personal opinion. Do you have some vendetta against the NRA?
Next time, read more than the first sentence of a comment before you decide to chime in. More importantly, to call my comment ridiculous is disrespectful.
Be respectful for a change.
@@Tis_I_SirJames to be honest, if you bear children with the idea that they should totally obey whatever it is that you say and not allowed to think for themselves, you really shouldn't be a parent at all. No child ever asked to be born afterall, if you just want to bear a child and turn them into an obedient personal puppet I say you are fucked up in the head.
Also if you disagree with the notion that the world owes you anything, you basically just say that human inherently has no rights. Yet you also believe in the rights to bear arms. That's hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance at its best. When parents give birth to a child, they totally owe the child. Parents are obliged to provide care, housing, and shelter to the child. If you think otherwise, again, you are fucked up in the head because it implies that you are fine with parents giving birth to someone then leave that baby in the street to die.
Police did nothing.
In the US only one party is opposing striker gun laws. It's a republican party. But people in small towns like Uvalde predominantly vote for republicans... Still vote for them. It is not about the gun or even about these people who commit this kind of crimes. It's about policies. Change policy! In order to do so, vote against that party that oppose striker gun law next time. It's that simple.
Question to German youtubers. Would German politicians do nothing after young children were literally shot to pieces with a high powered rifle as they were in Sandy Hook and Uvalde? That's what happened in the US. The American people value easy access to the lethal firearms over protecting the lives of school children. I wish Americans could see the autopsy pictures of what the body of a small child looks like after getting shot by an AR-15. Missing limbs. Exposed organs and part of the skull blown away exposing brain matter. Precious young children have their lives ended in such a violent way. All because gun fanatics in the US have enough control over politicians who block even modest gun legislation. It's sick. I'm ashamed to be an American sometimes.
I'm German and this is an appeal to emotion, children die in car crashes all the time, significantly more so than in shootings and I'm sure pictures of that would just be as horrific. Should we therefore ban cars? In Germany we get school shootings too even though we have very strict gun laws, these shooters often get them illegaly from the dark net or just drive over the border (without border checks) to Poland and into Ukraine where they are easily obtainable.
So instead of only giving criminals the option to own guns I think America has better laws. Maybe some more tests should be put in place to evaluate if the owners are responsible, but you should never ban them.
In Sweden you have to be 18 years old to buy an air weapon and this type of weapon is a dream at best. 0 school shootings vs xxxx in the USA.

No
The natural right to arm yourself for self defense is considerably older than 300 years. The amendment is there to protect that right from people like you. Also, that's not how amendments are passed. It would take 3/4 states to agree to change. Not some president "brave" enough to overstep their authority, or attempting to pack the courts.

@@andychang1661 Yes, right to self defence, be it from crazy ex boyfriend, thugs on the street or tyrannical government exists independently. It is to be upheld by the government. However, in order to level the playing field firearms are essential. A woman cannot overpower a man without a firearm, generally. Smaller guy will have more of a chance to survive an attack by a bigger guy. An older person, a disabled person - both have more of a chance to fight off robbers, murderer etc if they have a firearm on them.
