- Why is the NRA -- a group that represents the interests of gun manufacturers -- taken seriously in debates about reducing gun violence?

After the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, news networks are once again focused on the debate over gun control. These debates often pit gun control activists against the National Rifle Association (NRA), which claims to speak on behalf of gun owners. But in reality, the NRA represents the interest of gun manufacturers.
The group gets millions of dollars in donations from gun companies every year, and millions more through the sale of ad space in NRA publications. That financial allegiance means the NRA is similar to organizations like the Tobacco Institute -- an industry lobbying group primarily interested in protecting their product.
So why do news networks keep inviting them to debate gun violence?

So, companies that SELL guns to people who obviously support gun rights (evident in ones purchase) donates money to a gun rights organization ? Sounds rather American to me.
Its fairly recently an American past time. We used to have gun safety lessons in school & bring rifles to play with after we got out. No one ever got shot. If kids fought, they didn't even think to grab their guns, they duked it out. The media & music glorifies gangs, shooting each other & other illegal things.. until someone or a bunch of someones actually gets shot. Then they cry for gun control, when all mass shootings except for one took place in a gun free zone. Columbine happened during the Clinton era "assault" weapons ban with banned firearms in a school where guns were not allowed on the premises. You can draw whatever conclusion you'd like to about that
true is 100% American

Fun fact. We have the same video games and movies over here in Europe. We don’t have that same level of gun violence. Stop using that non-argument.
The reason is that European politicians were able to pass sensible gun laws and faced no opposition because they weren't being funded by gun lobbying groups. Wish that was the case here in America.
@@chadnguyen6332I haven't watched the video yet but that's completely false. They could do it in Europe because gun ownership was not WRITTEN in the very foundation it's countries.
@@anguschandler4482 correct. However changing any of the amendments is incredibly difficult and changing of any of the original 10 amendments has never been done. It requires a super majority in Congress and 3/4 of the states and the president to all agree. It's basically impossible.

BrosephStalin gaming yes it is? The original ar 15/m16 is an assault rife In The fact that it is select fire and has full auto capabilities. But the civilian ar 15 isn’t an assault rifle cause it can’t fire full auto.
@@Max-ey9wl thanks for clarifying. Whatever you call it, her argument is that anything can be a weapon, purposefully disregarding classification of weapons. What I did was just bringing the same logic to a different issue. It's a simple way to debunk flawed arguments. If it's valid for weapons it should be valid for anything else.
I don’t know why gun enthusiasts get so caught up with assault rifles. They’re overrated and incredibly overpriced. Handguns and shotguns are more than enough for home defense and personal defense. And there numerous hunting rifles that are much much more practical for hunting than assault rifles.
I owned an assault rifle when I was in the military (active duty). I felt I wasn’t shooting enough on the army’s dime so I bought an AR-15 to shoot on my own time, which was great. Once I shot on my own time, I scored expert 40/40 nearly everytime.
Once I got out of the army, I sold my assault rifle to to a gun store a year later. I had no use for it anymore. I still buy guns but just handguns and shotguns. There just is no real reason for AR-15s to be a commercially sold firearm. It should be supplied to law enforcement and military only (well, not ARs but M-4s)
I just purchased my AR -15 assault tactical spoon with a bump stock that makes it shoot 5 soups per second top grade military weapon
lol
Yep your bad self with that expensive ammo..
A majority of Americans seem fairly ignorant about the basics of firearms and the gun laws that already exists.
I agree. I think people should educate themselves on firearms before they try to ban or restrict them.
@@calebkline3392 right
Caleb Kline The people who use then maliciously dont know how they work, so does it matter?
You can’t take guns from criminals - it would’ve been done already if you could. You can only take guns from people who legally own them. So, if you were to ban all guns, you would only be taking away innocent peoples ability to protect themselves. End of argument.
Chris literally just obliterated their argument without mentioning how handguns account for more shootings than "assault weapons"

banning guns will push all guns to the black market. still will be possible for criminals to get a gun

@@bedebop3904 All the guns cannot sell in black market. If something becomes illegal, the prices will increase because of the cost of the risk of getting it into the market and when the prices increase and there's a risk of imprisonment for owning a gun, fewer people will buy it.

I am in total agreement that news organizations need to stop validating the NRA. Naming it a lobbying group is completely accurate and the first time I’ve heard someone just come out and say it
NRA is a terrorist group. They are exactly like Taliban or IS - rely on age old laws, do not allow to change laws, make laws permanent and make human life horrible. Like Taliban or IS they create terror in public spaces and gatherings.
The NRA also has a history of promoting gun control to prevent black people from carrying firearms. They don't care about civil rights. They care about money. People need to understand that regardless of where they stand on the issue.
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.
Lol dude every aspect of the mainstream media is controlled by one or more lobbying groups, get real for a second.
@@topster888 What media do you suggest that can be trusted? It also makes a big difference what lobbying groups they are and how they do it.
Who’s here after the NY Attorney General is sueing the NRA?

It happened long time ago. Nothing new happened to the NRA. I guess the NRA made sure they wont be taken down this time
I am incredibly mad. It's becoming more and more clear to me as I get older that people are far more interested in lining their pockets than coming up with solutions that help people.

Wow how manipulating of vox. Not one of them talked about how the FBI and officers the people who are supposed to protect us failed on stopping the shooter before the massacre happened. No member in the NRA killed anyone in fact a few stopped a mass shooting. Ending the NRA won't even stop 3% of the gun violence in this country. Why because the majority are from hand guns. But yea let's not inform that
Funny how they want a big nanny state but tend to hate police in any other context.
Key Strix which makes it so ironic
the point of this video was to inform the public on how the NRA is manipulation the public system and government. nowhere in this video do they say that people in the NRA are killers. they are just pointing out the fact that the NRA is preventing the safety of the people.
Laura Groundwater How are they manipulating the government. They have no control of government decisions idiot. And thats what was being said at the Town Hall. Preventing safety how, over 5 million members and not one involved in a mass shooting. The people who are supposed to provide safety are the officer's and FBI in which they failed. Do you even know the NRA were the first to recommend a gun control act? Do some research
Laura Groundwater, please show me in the Constitution where Congress is granted the power to infringe on natural rights in the interest of public safety.

"Gun sales spiked after mass shootings" I think this should convey a significant message
Seel Of Apoorval because if some normal person heard of a shooting they would buy a gun to protect there loved ones
Ang badang lmao y’all stupid it’s because the wackos want to buy a ton of guns before the big evil government steals away your murder machines
Yea, think of it like this. You live in a small town and a roberry goes down with the gunman killing many people. Wouldn't you want to buy guns to now protect yourself from this new threat?
No it isn't a significant message at all. It is because a lot of people on the left openly say banning all firearms. Its scare buying. That's it. It isn't a bunch of people buying guns because they want to emulate mass shootings. Anyone who thinks that normal gun owners of America are okay with mass shootings lives in a fantasy world. But people will be damned if they try to take stuff away. Think of it like this, the right to bear arms is a civil right and a constitutional right. It's also one of the only rights that is constantly under assault and being further and further pushed back and infringed. Gun owners are sick of it and they want more rights to things they think are cool and interesting and tbh, they have a constitutional right to them. Unless that changes gun control will never stop and there will always be a side pushing for more rights.
It does,
We the people will take arms, because what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance...
Comparing a gun to a spoon is like comparing a Volkswagen Beetle to a tank
Ah yes love at first shot, sponsored by Smith & Wesson
i would like to think they give guns to love interests, and make them shoot eachother.
500,000 to 3,000,000 defensive gun uses a year. So, no.
I think all these shootings are unacceptable. Hell, I don't even own a single gun myself. But I honestly believe that attacking the guns themselves is a lost cause. There's just TOO MANY of them out there already. And you can easily melt some aluminum cans and making a functioning receiver with the right equipment. Bam, aluminum AR-15. So honestly, we just need to tackle the root of the problem and not one of the symptoms. Because you can easily take a car and run over people as we've seen, make bombs as we've seen, and so much more. We're having the wrong debate.
Eliminate the human race, reset button pls we suck at living in peace.
Mourneris you deserve a medal for this comment good sir!
Erik Rensberger population plays a big part, per capita the statistics aren't so bad
A key point is the 'right equipment' part. The vast majority of gun deaths are not products of careful planning and expensive resources, they are usually impulsive actions using whatever is easily available. That ease of access is a big part of the problem, it means it is much easier for situations to escalate. Shooting someone is much, MUCH easier than using something like a knife or an improvised weapon like a car, and building a gun from scratch is the realm of only the most dedicated people, people even less likely to actually use the thing.

So u agree at least for mandatory proper training for gun use right? Because if the good guys with guns are improperly trained, they may hurt themselves or people other than the shooters?
A. Ho well an easy counter to your argument would be “a constitutional right should apply to every American citizen. Even if they are poor and can’t afford specialized training”
Oh no I'm not arguing against having guns. I'm arguing against the idea that guns offer concrete security without proper training. Thank you for your cordial reply! :)
And the reason the gun debate is so screwed is because each state is different in its gun laws.
and the Las Vegas shooter legally bought two firearms while he was on a FBI watchlist the FBI said he was good to buy a gun while he was wanted
And I do agree that money is a huge factor in the gun debate and tilts it a lot

dpadil01
The meaning of the 2nd amendment has already been decided by the Supreme Court. That is why it isn't debated.
The founders were very clear about what kinds of weapons were to be protected:
The power of the sword, say the minority..., is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for The powers of the sword are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress has no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every terrible implement of the soldier are the birthright of Americans.
--Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.
No they didnt make it broad. What do you not understand about "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"? Shall not be infringed is very clear. The purpose of it was to make sure that the people are always more powerful than the govt, not hunting. Look up the founding father's quotes and documents if you want evidence. The liberal media tries to suppress history. The fact that we cant own the same weapons as the govt is already unconstitutional.

Dixie Normas and how can that be? Are Americans just that much more violent then the rest of the world? Cause what you just described is not the case in other western countries, so I would like you to answer as to how come Americans are so eager to kill one another
Dixie Normas
Out of 100 mass shooters maybe 10 could build a bomb. Out of the 10 maybe 1 could make a chemical weapon. When you factor in the fact that mass shootings are deadlier than bombs, which are deadlier than chemicals, I would rather there be 1 chemical attack with 2 deaths than 100 mass shootings with 20 deaths each.
The point of law is to reduce, not completely prevent. No law is 100% effective. Coconuts kill more people than sharks each year, but do we tear down the shark nets at beaches? Not everyone can build a bomb or chemical weapon, but in the current state, anyone can very easily get a gun. The point of laws is to reduce that number. And if it doesn't completely prevent it? That's still good enough. Again, no law is 100% effective. Drug laws aren't 100% effective, we see overdoses all over the country, but we still have them. Because without them there would be even more. And less is good enough.
Just because we can stop all deaths, doesn't mean we shouldn't stop the ones we can.
Dixie Normas lol
Dixie Normas jesus christ, nothing you said forms a coherent argument. "Less guns is not gonna solve anything because people will use bombs, or napalm or blabla" YOUR OPINION IS WRONG AND NOT FACTUAL. You're an idiot repeating faulty arguments at nauseum.
Dixie Normas "Getting rid of the tool is not going to help anyone or anything." Literally every single study into that subject disagrees with you.
A century ago, the fledgling car industry created the term 'Jaywalker' to victim blame pedestrians....
See _Adam Ruins Everything_ or _99% Invisible_ if you're interested.
Another way "stop a bad man with a gun" is to create a just, equitable, compassionate society that does not produce "bad men."
Yeah unfortunately no society has “no bad men”
You can wake up now.
I too like to live in dreamland.
there will always be bad man lol
@@clement6173 I'll give up my gun when I'm the last bad man with a gun :)
Yes, we need more good guys with guns. Part of being good however is proper training then they MUST carry their gun safely wherever they go. This is so simple people.
Debate Steven crowder if your so passionate about this but you won’t because your wrong
B3LIK3BL4K3 lol
B3LIK3BL4K3 naw Ben Shapiro
My wrong?
not sure what you can say is wrong-- NRA is a paid for group by gun makers and that is the topic. Rest of the world also achieved gun control and it works. You just dont want it because you that terrified of fellow Americans
HodgePodgeVids1 dude back off, the redpill has potentially fatal effects
Brilliant comparison to big tobacco.
Sir Alfred Lawrence The video did not talk about both tobacco and guns being civil rights. It talked about how the NRA, which is funded by big gun companies, is similar to the tobacco companies who formed the tobacco Institute, as the two groups made up distractions and fake issues to evade the questions of the consumer.
A cigarette is not going to protect me
A a good guy with a guy will
Sir Alfred Lawrence Funny, because the NRA isn't actually a civil rights organization either.
Henry Stax i would too
Tobacco isn't in the Bill of Rights, and it's still legal to use for anyone over 18/21 so it's even less regulated than guns currently are.
Selling advertising space for gun manufactures in a magazine for gun owners is not a problem.
"Shall not be infringed" is supposed to mean something. Stay away from our RIGHTS.
Yeah, and the people who made that amendment are the same people who supported slavery, didn't give women, blacks, native Americans and non property owning males the right to vote. And also, Thomas Jefferson advocated that the Constitution should be changed every 19 years, because he believed that as America changes, the laws must adopt to the new changes of the country.
And also fun fact: when the University of Virginia opened in 1824, it prohibited firearms to be used and bought into the campuses. And two founding fathers made that prohibition, now who were those founding fathers?, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The authors of the Second Amendment
@@TheKnowledgeMan101 A minor point, but I believe the U of Virginia was established in 1819 and not 1824.
Students were prohibited from having guns on campus but not guns in general. A student of that age could own a gun at that time, and the prohibition didn't ban guns on campus. It didn't allow students to have guns, but there was no prohibition of faculty and staff having guns on campus.
Again, there was no law at the time preventing people that age from owning guns. A rule at a college is not law. The school I went to didn't allow us to chew gum on campus, but there was no law preventing us from chewing gum. The school could do nothing about our gum chewing away from campus.
I enjoy many of these videos, but sometimes I click off literally just because of the comment section.
Glad I'm not the only one who does that
Stella Moreno the problem is that if you enjoy these kinds of videos, you must be somewhat leftist. That’s not a dig at you or anyone else, it’s a fact. Vox is extremely leftist in their views, so no one that disagrees with their views will enjoy the video. That’s just a fact and that’s the problem. “Too much hate” comes from people annoyed that vox almost never uses accurate, bipartisan facts and examples, instead, they demonize the right and idolize leftist views, representatives and companies.
Good don’t come back
Xplosives, Yeah, I dislike the fact that so few news outlets provide multiple sides to a story. Thats why I dislike so many large news cooperations, (in north america atleast.) Vox is bad, but atleast they research their stories and don’t blatently lie, or fabricate evidence to support their claims. Vox also reports about important issues such as climate change, while many other news outlets don’t mention it or even deny it, and exist purley to mock, and agrivate people on the left side of the political spectrum. No political leaning is “better” but I find that these days, religion, climate change, and even basic things like equal rights for LGBTQ people, is split between the right and the left. Climate change for example is an easy to explain, unbelievably important part of our world now days but it seems that only left leaning poloticians acknowledge it’s existance.
Oh no, diffrent opinions, how awful
Go debate Steven Crowder please
That would be quite an event to watch.
they wont. liberals hate debate and logic and linear thinking. They are all about feelings and propaganda and lies. Thats it.
R the same reason why you made a paragraph to prove that he was basically stereotyping. you both are just trying to prove that your oppositions are just as bad. simple.
I wish they would. Unfortunately I don't think they have the balls to do it.
Beerus - God of Destruction i read all that you wrote in beerus' voice and it sounded beautiful in my head.
Nobody has broken into schools and attacking with spoons
A 3rd grader at my school tried and failed lol
My dad was a Sargent in charge of a gun squad in WW2 under Patton. He was an extreme marksman and fought from Normandy through the Hedge row country and all the way to Bastogne. I've never seen anyone more experienced with firearms . He was requested to train snipers and SWAT teams after he got back which he turned down. Dad wasn't fanatical about firearms ,but firearms seem to be everything he was interested in ,and his knowledge of firearms was as good as his shooting skills. Sad to say but he probably was a very good killer. When he was promoted to a Sargent he was given a Thompson, pretty much the same as the AK types or the Auto Killing guns . He turned it down. He had clearance to shoot at any police ranges with no reservations. His shooting skills astonished anyone around him and especially the police. He squirrel hunted with a revolver and I never saw him miss . One time leaving a police range an officer followed him out and asked him if he was joined up or with the NRA . Dad just replied "No". The officer said " Hank with your skills why wouldn't you join" Dad just dropped his head and "No I'm not interested in the NRA " ,and we walked away. I was only about 7 years old and I never questioned his opinions about firearms , but I wish I knew the answer or the reason why . I've never joined or will ever join the NRA , but what I know for myself I wouldn't and maybe I know his answer.
🧢
Currently in Guns politics, NRA is not favored by the modern gun enthusiast
We support gun owners of America. That’s the new hip organization.
NRA been found to have anti-gunners in the organization
Or as I like to call them constitution traders

Funny enough, I've been a gun owner for a long time, but never supported the NRA until now. Thanks for making me aware of who the NRA is. I did my own research and found that they are a group I support.
Thanks for being part of the problem
Androgen Idol What problem has been caused due to him joining? Please tell me. What happened with him joining?
loveand smile And you think instead of arming the populace we should increase the difficulty of buying a firearm?
I've been an NRA member for years and I know they are a top notch organization.
The NRA is not the problem...lack of good law enforcement, bullying, fatherless homes, psychotropic drugs, a disrespect for life, and etc. are the problem. I've owned numerous firearms over the years, including several AR-15s, I have a CWP, but have never harmed anyone. I think you will find that no NRA member has ever committed a mass shooting, and few if any have ever committed a murder with a firearm. The NRA protects the law abiding citizens' right to own a firearm, not the criminals' misuse of a firearm.
I'd like to live to see the day a criminal stops at the sight of a "gun free zone" and respects the sign.
tvdave1 I'd like to see the day that criminals can't get guns, but sure.
Laura Beth just like my home country, Mexico bad guys can't get guns but they get them anyways, But that's none of my business
tvdave1 I wasn't talking about legality
Laura Beth his point is that criminals will still get guns in some way
Oh, if criminals aren't going to follow laws, then why have laws at all?
If the they aren’t a civil rights group then why are the aclu arguing for the nra in the surpreme court?😂😂
People seem to forget that a person who carries a gun is not necessarily a criminal until it is used to make them one. Anybody can become a criminal.
You guys are making me consider joining the NRA.
DatGrunt Join us!
DatGrunt yes!
DatGrunt lol why, everything they do is fake af. There are better organizations out there than a gun company lobbying group.

DatGrunt The NRA supports arms infringing laws. Gun Owners of America does not support any arms infinging laws. Join GOA, not the NRA.
Steven Crowder just uploaded a video asking for a chance to debate, I believe more then just a few people would like to witness it. This channel seems to be very passionate about guns. Discussing this with the right wing party is more effective then telling leftist what they already believe. To be frank, its not going to change anything.🤝🇺🇸💖
Agony Salazar I was just watching it but I had to finish watching this first.
loud mouth crowder only does that. he is unable to actually refute something, but he's good at spewing bullshit at a rapid pace and convincing his fans that he's somehow right.
just look at potholer54 and his videos debunking the bullshit crowder spews....
like potholer54 says, the problem with the debate format is that it can sometimes take half an hour to look up one bullshit point crowder makes, track the source, and pinpoint precisely why it's wrong. in a debate format aint nobody got time for that.
sabin97 I found his channel. However couldnt find the video about disproving Crowders gun statistics. If you find it please link it?
"loud mouth crowder only does that. he is unable to actually refute something, but he's good at spewing bullshit at a rapid pace and convincing his fans that he's somehow right."
Have a specific example or just going to argue a generality that cannot be disproven?
"just look at potholer54 and his videos debunking the bullshit crowder spews....

And yet this user has no videos addressing Crowder.
"There is no discussion anymore. Conservative want to take away our weed and we take their guns. Fair enough."

This guy is a liar. Assault rifles are not legal to own.
Shhh, it's Vox. Facts and logic are not allowed.
With a hefty tax stamp, extended background checks, also the price of a car you to can own a Fully automatic rifle in the US.
Eric there is no such thing as an Assault rifle
Papa Johnathan you can't own a fully automatic rifle
Dr. Ezekiel yes, you can in the US. It just takes a shiz ton of money and paperwork.
There is no constitutional right to tobacco
so let's amend the constitution, giving everyone the right to bear tobacco, and we'll see how things go for you next time someone tries to invade your house.

>Honest debate.
LOL.
+Iambic Pentameter If only I believed Crowder was open minded enough for that to matter.

More so than I've seen left wing publications like Vox.

Did he say something that is also relevant or contradicts the Point?

Nobody needs to hear all that

Ok so the government isnt trying to take our guns... *turns on TV... Sees politican Beto ... " yes we are going to take your guns." Smh ... they admit to trying to take guns its not a lie ... and why send your kids to a school where theyre not protected
Every time there's a gun related video do you guys also get the ad that "I got arrested for having a concealed gun"?

Ehhh, no. Dana Loesch, for once in her life actually had to look the victims of her work in the eyes and repeat the same BS lines she gives to the media.
Now, those kids on the other hand, they're the brave ones. They watched their friends die, but still had the mental fortitude to take a stand. A stand they continue to fight for. That's a survivor.
@@pwnage1731 exactly
Can someone explain how lobbying and donating money to politicians isn’t bribery?
The U.S. government forces people to lobby. Look at what happened to Microsoft in the 90's. This is a problem
"The most notable difference between bribery and lobbying is that bribery is in secret with the intent to deceive or mislead. In contrast, lobbying is typically in the open, intending to inform and educate."
It's really not that hard. They are trying to defend the constitution and defend law abiding citizens. I don't see how that's bad.

Lets see if vox has the balls to debate Crowder

You can actually buy a tank.

Constitution isn’t supposed to be a document that lasts forever. It’s supposed to be changeable to the times. Jefferson even said that it should be changed every decade so that the dead don’t have control over the living
