According to Canadian law that was a big question ‘after’ the passed a ban on them. They’ve found it applied to over 460 styles of firearms and it included semiauto shotgun commonly used in water fowl hunting or competition shooting.
Officer, if 18 were wounded and 4 were killed, that's 22. Not ("Approximately") 21. Learning how to count is an important step in Law Enforcement. 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and so on.
Is that it? Is that your feeling right now?
@@user-petfriendly Non- Sequitur. Feelings are not Stoic. "FEELINGS" led to this massacre. Facts solve problems. Truth solves problems. Not "feelings". Learning to count and tell The Truth by Law Enforcement solves problems.
HEARTLESS
@@user-petfriendly Non-sequitur. Non- Stoic. "Feelings" are what caused this massacre. Because of " Feelings" Human Beings lay dead and wounded.
You’re telling me, that in a mass shooting - no one saw ANYTHING?? Policing is laughable… if it was a cop injured, they’d already have him.
Exactly. Something is fishy about this. That area is overrun with restaurants, nightclubs, tattoo parlors etc. I’m not believing that none of the business owners/ shop keepers haven’t come forward with any descriptions or camera footage of the perpetrators.
MY ,MY GOD, PLEASE INTERVENE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN 🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏 CONDOLENCES TO THOSE FAMILIES THAT LOSS THEIR LOVE ONES.
I wonder what the Hodge twins take on this will be?!?!😂
I'd rather hear their take on white nationalists being arrested for putting out a hitlist against black and Jewish elected officials.
Also a typical democrat, "I dont care what rights the constitution guarantees."
Officer Fitzgerald should be mayor.
Wow, does this guy do everything in Birmingham? Is that the best they got?
Praying for all involved
praying to what?
@@travisgoesthereYou don't care so why even ask?
They think praying to the clouds is going to make a change. Every time this happens the religious zealots jump forward screaming how their religion should be shoved down everyone's throats. It's disgusting at this point.@@travisgoesthere
How about tell your DA’s to charge these criminals when they break the law cause I bet whoever did this is probably on probation or out on bond
First channel that don't have comments turned off 😮
lost culture, unfortunately
They never had any culture. Can't even whip culture into them if you tried.
Many people in the community KNOW who some of these people are doing these heinous crimes but are scared to speak up due to retaliation! 😢
talk is very cheap
Thank you for your post.
South Chicago be like, "pffft, thats amateur night"
How much more illegal can you make glock switches? Possession of one is a felony and if found guilty of using one in a violent crime, you're looking at a minimum of a 30 year sentence. Again...how much more illegal can you make them?
dude is not ready to be the IO.
Dont know where she is but i can tell ya where she AINT
Ya kno, Dexter would've had the this case solved "and" settled way before this staged press conference.
The city needs cameras on every street. And drones that react to the sound of gun fire and records and follows the gunfire and speeding cars that leave the scene.
They had that in Chicago and they made them turn it off because they said it was racist.
Mayor Woodfin needs to step down. he is too SOFT! Birmingham needs a mayor like the city of Hoover has.
They set at the sports complex and eat donuts
@@ernestclary6035 i believe it!
I agree with this guy speaking. It is so true everything he says. My Condolences to the family 🙏.
It's going to get much worse, the gang wars have JUST began, with the 20 plus million of criminals, cartels, drug lords etc, that have walked into our country unvetted, in the last 3 years, they are just beginning to take over the streets, the communities.
Vote Trump to STOP more gangs etc walking in freely UNVETTED. 🇺🇸
it stilll Juneteenth?
Or just a normal day at school, massage parlor or movie theater.
@@γένεσις-ο9ψhow many people are killed everyday in these inner cities by black Americans by other black Americans? This cannot be overlooked. Yes there are whites killing innocent people but not on the scale as the other.
If automatic weapons are already illegal to own in the nations with the highest murder rates what logic or reasoning are you using to conclude it would change in the USA?
which nations are you referring to?
@@carolynsmith8554 well if you would read it's obvious which nations I'm referring to the Nations that have the highest murder rates where automatic weapons are illegal for citizens to own
@@davemillsap647, oh, I can read.. If I waste my time to try to figure out your source and it's validity, and find that you're wrong and confront you, you will just say something like "oh, that's not who I'm talking about". A genuine person will cite their sources, but Trumpers are like him - making assertions with no backup.
@@carolynsmith8554 oh yes the typical poisoning well instead of follow the facts
I can't believe Koreans would do this😮
Amish, maybe?
Nah it’s definitely ultra maga white christian nationalism
Mayor of Birmingham said it best. These legislators need to untie their hands not only in Birmingham but across the nation. We have same issue in Ohio!!! Well said Mayor
You're right, get Criminals and Gangs off the street this problem solved ..... everyone has to stop blaming a tool. These issues start in the home and the soften of laws and the abilities of parents, teachers and authorities from developing youths at young ages thru adulthood. The saying "Spare the Rod" could not be further from the Truth.
I live in Birmingham! We had a nice city till this Democrat mayor 😢 now homeless is literally everywhere the rich don't want to be😮 trash on sides of the roads and murders every day on the news! The only thing he has improved is his 2000$ suits he wears now😅
......🤣
You’re so uneducated !! Go study history what happens when they take the guns !!
We should ban cars as well !!
This is so sad and so ongoing it’s a lot
What's the deal seems fishy to me & not gang related 😮😮😮
Why did the first guy interrupt the speech like he was at Chuck e cheese smiling and all happy
Clearly, the work of Yakub here
Condolences to there family's
How awful 😡😡
The word pleasure was out of place in the introduction.
GOVERNOR KAY IVEY is .................WHERE ??????
The Birmingham Police Department is represented by a Law-Enforcement Professional. I anticipate the City of Birmingham and our Nation at large will receive the FACTS.
Prayers for everyone 😢
Keep FATHERS in the home
Lolol
They have a home. It's prison.
Amen!! Gotta stop subsidizing single motherhood. Those that do this also own the prison systems. They know exactly what they are doing by destroying a whole generation of children and parents.
That's a pathetic excuse. A father can have just as much good or bad influence on a child's behavior from a house in another town or state. As the saying goes "it takes a village".
Any descriptions yet?
So you have to target a person amongst hundreds of other people!!!!! Give me a break!!!! How do they know this was targeted already !!!!!
@@JimSpurlockStupid comment of the day, since gun rights have always been since the inception of of this country. Blame the trigger person/people.
The Amish are at it again!
The woman survivor (child at the time) of the horrendous Amish schoolhouse shooting of 2006 finally died this year.
@@kerrynight3271Ugh ..

They were fewer bullets fired by Custer's men at the Little Big Horn Battle.
Because gun technology has increased considerably.
@@THEMONITOR72 Guns don't kill, people do.
@@Rocky-xx2zg and neither do nukes or bio-weapons
@@THEMONITOR72 Really? I 'll look to see where I can purchase those. To the best of my knowledge, it's more difficult than buying a gun. Get real!!!
@@THEMONITOR72 yeah so let's just make all that available to every Tom, Dick and Harry too, lol. These people are far out there!
Were there any cameras from businesses around? I see several stores. What about license plate numbers?
Where is the cameras on the street we need them everywhere
Sounds like BS to me
They need to stop calling a shooter a coward and call them what they are... Cold blooded killers.
so many comment sections about this are closed i wonder why 🤔🤔
Birmingham made world news
Been a while since- remember when it was called Bombingham in the sixties when the kkk was terrorizing blacks and murdering innocent girls in the 16th street church.
God is the Answer, we need to pray 🙏
"There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear". I assume our Nation's Counter-Terrorism Intelligence Center (CTIC) is fully engaged.
Immediately started singing that classic song in my head which is apropos.
Well said, mayor!!!
Dog and pony show once again!!!! It does not take an army to report an incident and why are mayors showing up at all these press conferences…🙄🙄🙄
Bet he won't agree to lock people up for life if they are found with an illegal weapon or a weapon not registered to them in possession... I'd be perfectly fine with that vs trying to take my stuff
You said "an illegal weapon OR a weapon not registered to them in possession". Other than not having a valid registration, what other circumstance would make the weapon "illegal"?
