Now she's wanted for murder
In the beginning when he mentioned one of the worst gun massacres in US history I literally couldn’t tell you which incident he’s talking about because there’s too many
Omg I agree, I thought he was referencing a more recent one. We need the gun law to be changed massively!!
There's not
@Fuk RUclips by banning guns in civilian hands. This isn't the 1800s, we don't need guns. Most of Planet Earth doesn't allow their citizens to personally own guns. They're crime rate is and casualty rate is lower then the US. The US is barbaric and antiquated with it's laws!! But I believe for the first time in a long time we have the right man and woman as our leaders and positive changes can finally be made!
@@Kitty-Marks That can't happen without a Constitutional amendment, which requires much more unity than we currently have.
@Fuk RUclips Not if you buy it from someone else and not a gun store.
"GUNS aren't the problem, PEOPLE are the problem!"
Then why in THE FUCK would you make it easier for the problem to get a gun???
Arguing logic with Americans? you're going to be disappointed.
An armed society is a polite society. Have you noticed that the places with the strictest gun laws are the places that have the most shootings?
@@Dmaster2k LOL quite the opposite my guy.
@@Dmaster2k have you noticed that where there are more guns, there are more shootings?
@@Dmaster2k and the Wild West wasn't very polite because of people being afraid of trigger happy nutjobs that wanted to use their guns to intimidate people.
"If I've had curry, I don't go trampoline" 😂😂
The Oscar Pistorius joke made me snort coffee.. and it was friggin' hot.. well played, Russ.
To be fair though, Oscar could've easily ended her with his prosthetic feet, did he need a gun?
@TheMiddleman1 ~ Isn't this sort of logic part of the problem? If Pistorius had attacked her with his blades, he would need to be closer to her to harm her, and she could have used objects to fight for her life.
I'm fairly certain that Pistorius' prosthetics could not have penetrated the door she hid behind which would have drastically affected the outcome.
@@macpro75 Are you ok? 😂🤣 I used the term prosthetic feet to see if anyone got the reference, you said it yourself in your reply. I was saying, did he need a gun when he had blades? 🤣 Let's be honest... What kind of large homicidal athlete guesses angles of bullet trajectory through a flimsy wooden door that you could just bust open with your shoulder? 🤔
Lies again? Get Laid
Epic!
How a little misinterpretation of an old text can cause so much trouble, it says bear arms. We’re talking front paws of a large mammal here.
Hehehe
From Family Guy
It also says "a well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state..." but pro-gun advocates always leave that part out. Even if you set aside that it's supposed to be for members of a recognized militia group ONLY, the second amendment itself has the words "WELL REGULATED" in it. Currently, it's not well regulated.
@@JokeCubed let alone the fact that by definition it is a change to the constitution so anyone whom claims you can't change the constitution to prevent gun control is just wrong and utterly forgets that what the NRA holds up is itself a change. If we wanted to make that point, we would have to say that none of the ammendments are valid, including the second, but that would get rid of the other great ones.
@@psoma_brufd you don't like the facts so you just speak shit to suit your own purpose 😂😂😂😂
"It's not about you you piece of shit!" Perfect!
and yet this video IS about him..............Can we focus on today's President's comments?
@@lacidawson Yes, but the news interview was not about him, it was about the shooting. No reason for him to bring himself into it.
I don't think Biden was even elected when these clips were recorded.
And don’t forget that Obama was in tears about how he couldn’t limit gun crime by the end of his presidency
@Jeffro Neemo Biden didn't win by a few votes buddy, it was a landslide!!!!!
Are you on crack?
@Jeffro Neemo LMAO!
Nice essay!
YES dude REALLY, BIDEN got WAY more votes!!!!
How can you be so blind to reallity?!?!
Trump was the only POTUS since popularity polls began to NEVER in his twice impeached only term to break 50%!!!!!
Even Bill Barr, his own lackey knew Trump would lose!
Now in answer to your personal attack on Biden, you really think that a known sexual assaulter, bigot, racist, lost his dad's millions after he cheated his family out of a fare share, who wears orange make up, dodged the draft, faked his qualifications, lies daily, thinks that windmills cause cancer, thinks he knows more about science than actual scientists, has settled out of court multiple times to avoid jail time, fakes being a christian and doesn't give a shit about god or jesus but wants those who do to vote for him, got his trophy brides parents in to America using a dodgy immigration scheme that he tried to remove once in office, is a hate monger and the most divisive POTUS ever is a better candidate than a boring old hack (Biden) that has been in politics all his life and even if you disagree with him is WAY more qualified than the biggest loser in POTUS history, then you my friend are about as clever as a fart in a jar!!!!
PS when you say that Trump got more votes than any other candidate in history,,,,, guess what,,,,
Biden beat him!!!!
PPS Don't call me kid, I remember seeing Trump in the early 70's, he was aliar asshat then and has only increased his Stupidity since then.
PPPS Don't be threatening any civil war buddy! You'll regret it and realise if you rise up against your own government that have been legally placed there, you are a TRAITOR!!!!!!!
PPPPS NOT A MARTYR You jerk wad!

This is actually an old segment but sadly it hasn’t lost its relevance one bit. Sort it out USA and keep going Russel
@@meafrenchie7143 1) It's not as big of a deal as several other issues in the US (and around the world)
2) democrats lie, and the news lies. that news clip at the start with Trump is obviously cut and edited.
3) It's not a gun issue, it's a people issue. I'm not going to give up my rights so you can have some imaginary sense of safety.
4) If you think gun owners or republicans don't care about innocent people being killed then you just don't get it. There is a reason why we carry guns.
@@moappleseider1699 the fact you just stated that school shootings are not as big as other issues in the US is ridiculous. It is a gun issue as it is the guns that are used to shoot people. Your gun views are backward and outdated. Other countries seem to manage without guns, learn to let go of your stupid guns that add no value to your life. Also some democrats lie, some don't. But don't act as if republicans are any better than democrats because that's just delusional
@@moappleseider1699 1) it's one of the biggest issues in the US because it causes countless unnecessary deaths
2) ah yes, stick your head in the sand and put it down to lies, what a way to fix a problem
3) you don't need rights if those rights don't help make your country better or safer
4) you carry guns because other people do. If you get rid of their guns then you don't need to carry them.
I swear you people are missing a few too many Brain cells
@@willdouglas9896 sadly there's normally not much point in arguing with people who are so deep into the idea of legal widespread, in some cases pretty much totally unmanaged gun ownership. Namely because logical thought tends to slide off, the occasional one can be turned around though
@Fuk RUclips I'm just going to respond to all your comments here. First off if it's guns that are used to kill over 10,000 people every year in just the US, then it's a gun issue. Yes it's true that in the UK I'm never going toe to toe with a bear, maybe a rabid squirrel, but definitely not a bear. So yeah you may need protection from wildlife I'll give you that, but you don't need snipers, grenade launchers, or machine guns to protect yourself from the wildlife. Lastly I feel safe because I don't ever have to fear being attacked by a gun, if you need a gun just to make yourself feel safe in your own home and community, that means there is a serious issue. You need stricter gun laws, less machine guns, less at 15s, make it tougher to actually buy a gun (don't sell at Walmart)
I swear you people have no clue
I remember working for the US air force in East Anglia. Every few months you had to partake in an active shooter drill, which meant basically hiding under your desk for the morning. Use to joke that they would have me practicing form filling for payment of medical bills next.
One small thing to mention here ! There are countrys like Swiss/Canada /Sweden /Norway or Finnland that also have a lot of guns , but only have a fraction of the problem! In the end it comes down to gun laws , because unlike the us those countrys have strict gun laws!
Exactly
No, gun laws do nothing to stop the problem
@@oscareguia3971 And why is that in your opinion?
@@christianjunghanel6724 Well, Norway had the worst mass shoting ever. I think guns should be prohibited for everyone, don't care about the hunters, is an stupid and unnecessary sport. No guns= no shootings. Easy. (also every time I remember the nazi who did that and how the f* law is so f* up in Norway I feel sick, he has a better life in prision that the majority of free europeans)
No as many problems unrelated to firearms heavily contributed to violent crime.
At the point when he said these are the guns that they had I got an ad for COD war zone
Not much of a difference though, right?
For about 1 minute I thought there had been a new massacre in las Vegas, until I realised it was an old story. But worried me was I was not surprised to hear of a new massacre in America. It's just not a shock anymore, and that's so sad.
Australia has not had a violent gun massacre in 25 years.
Nor the 95 years preceding it but that seems beside the point, BTW why are airsoft and gel blasters regulated like firearms? Did someone die from air propelled hydrogel!?
Yeah the media doesn't show you that shit lol
@@danieljob3184 Um.. Martin Bryant, April 28 1996, killed 35 people with a gun. That sounds like a violent gun massacre to me. Think it's just a freak case? How about this wikipedia page of mass killings in Australia:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Australia
Notice how many of them are "Spree shootings" between 1984 and 1996?
And overall gun homicides are on a downward trend as well:
www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/essays/1996-national-firearms-agreement.html
And I had a look into the regulation of gel blasters you mentioned, and it appears that there was a ban on them due to them appearing very similar to regular guns, and that if fired at an individual that is not wearing protective gear they can still be injured, which is why even in the more lenient states like Queensland, they remain illegal to point and fire at an individual without their permission. The reasoning for the restriction on gel blasters is that if a police officer were to see an object that appeared similar to a real, dangerous weapon, they might overreact and potentially cause the death of an innocent individual.
And did you know that assault and battery are also crimes? Injuring another individual with an airsoft or gel blaster could still induce criminal charges, and you can STILL get them if you have a license. Both "gel blasters" as you refer to them and airsoft guns, especially fully automatic ones like the ones that have been banned, can do genuine harm to another individual, and are not toys. You still should not be aiming or firing them at other individuals without consent, due to the risk of injury inherent to pieces of equipment like these.
Notice how NERF guns aren't banned? Or any other kind of foam firing weapon? Almost like the danger is the problem..
@@jackwolowacz9382 that's the massacre he is talking about, martin Bryant's massacre was the massacre that changed the law , still how many children or school shootings in Australia last five years compared to America .
@@phantomwolf3300 Well, that's kinda beside the point
People who say that the UK should judge because we have knife crime make me laugh. Like you can kill 60+ people in ten mins with a knife.
It's like saying "you can't judge our nuclear bomb problem because you are just as bad with your bows and arrows."
Not to mention, knife crime is much more prevalent in the US.
@@dianeshelton9592 Its almost like its a mental health issue, not a gun issue.....
@@duncanmcocinner5939 America isn't the only country with mental health issue but ts basically the only first would country with mass shooting constantly
@@duncanmcocinner5939 so, the US has a higher rate of mental illness than every other country in the world? That's your argument? Are you sure that you want that as your position?
@@alexkilgour1328 It could be a good conversation to have.
"Your not a fuckin' Jedi!" Yeah it's like that.
I’m American and we had school shooter drills by the age of 7. My mom always told me to be nice to the kids with no friends so if they ever came and shot the school, they wouldn’t shoot me.
That’s how I grew up and I didn’t know it was strange until a few years after moving to the UK and telling some friends who were quite disturbed.
The reality in the USA is that 7-year-old schoolchildren are being forced to take responsibility for their safety because 67-year-old politicians refuse to do so.
Your mom is a very wise lady.
@@ethelberht985 Yeah, stabbings are a problem. The primary difference is that if someone brings a knife into school and starts stabbing/slashing people, ANYONE has a chance to stop them - the knife is a dangerous advantage in a confrontation yes, but it has a very limited range and it's effectiveness is largely limited by your skill at using it. Stuff like picking up a chair and using the seat as a shield while you use the legs to maintain distance is actually an effective countermeasure.
A gun's range is more likely to reach it's limit at where your line of sight stops than anything else in a school (and if you fire it randomly at a wall, can still kill someone who happens to be stood behind it without you even seeing them) and the only skill it requires in this kind of situation is the ability to point it vaguely in the direction of someone and pull the trigger repeatedly/in the case of an automatic just hold it down. Much as I hate to admit it, the most effective counter to someone with a gun who is trying to hurt people is someone with a gun trying to protect them (this does NOT, in any way, shape or form, mean that I think the solution is to give more people/everyone guns - the solution is to make it extremely difficult for someone trying to hurt people to get hold of one).
As for OP - the advice your mom gave you is great. I'm not a psychological expert on this but, from what I understand, once someone is in that kind of headspace they're not especially likely to differentiate between the people who were nice to them and those who weren't (even though they are likely to have people they explicitly want to hurt). Still, it certainly doesn't *hurt* your chances of not getting shot and, more importantly, a ray of hope and compassion in their life (because, when you're that isolated and miserable, basic kindness in the school corridor can be a HUGE boost) makes them less likely to end up shooting anyone.
@@ethelberht985 My point was that it's extremely difficult to use them in a way that allows you to slaughter dozens upon dozens of people without anyone stopping you, as well as being much harder to actually fatally injure someone with a knife than it is with a gun.
I actually wouldn't agree that knives (or acid) are a 'major issue' for us - yes, they're used. Yes they're a common weapon choice for people looking to hurt others. But if you compare our rates of stabbings to the rates of shootings in countries which either have legal, easily accessible firearms or very little ability to enforce their laws against them, they're really not high enough that we need to be panicking - arseholes will always exist, will always find ways to make it easier for them to hurt others and the media will always make as big a drama as humanly possible out of it. Unless it's a school being shot up in the US, in which case the Media will downplay it as much as possible, bring on NRA advocates to explain why more guns are the solution and occasionally try to ban video games because the kid played Call of Duty or something similar (because obviously it's not the *gun's* fault, it's their game consoles).
When I was a kid I was told you avoid gays because they were dangerous. Can you believe we live in a. Society where gays are so dangerous? Oh wait, that just means people a certian opinion… not that they are actually dangerous. Please show me the school shootings you are referring too.

Because if you make guns illegal then only criminals have guns
No law abiding gun owner has ever unlawfully shot someone
@@microwave4928 Yeah cause if they unlawfully shot someone, they’re no longer a law abiding gun owner...also gun control might not stop criminals from getting guns but without gun control it’s a hell of a lot easier. Also, notice how it’s not “get rid of guns entirely,” but “gun control.” Self defense is ok but nobody needs a mass murder weapon to defend themselves and it’s imperative that restrictions and checks are there so guns don’t fall into the wrong hands.
@@mothwizard3095

Shame Russel Howard doesn't understand what a machine gun is.
@@davedavids57 It was an unfortunately chosen video, but the point still stands that with an AR-15 I could kill what, 15 people or more in a crowd in the time it takes to reload a musket rifle.
@@auberginemanproductions1608 It's surprising how few actually die in that situation as people run away. Once someone gets over 10 metres away (which if someone is running fast takes a matter of seconds) you would have to aim and most likely miss. Most mass shootings are the gun man moving around killing either trapped or hiding people. That's why mass shootings with shot guns and simple 22lr rifles often have similar numbers to semi auto full bore. Look at the 2010 Cumbria shootings. He killed 12 people with a 22lr in a very very similar way to the Hungerford shootings with an AK/Shot gun.
My children were taught drills, like flipping desks and hiding.

@@bigrandomun9267 Some people can only be told, but not taught.
I’m American & I totally agree with everything Russell said. It’s absurd, embarrassing & most importantly horrifically saddening. It’s more important to many of my fellow citizens to own military riflery, which is only designed to take lives, then anyone else’s life. This coming from the people who are ardently pro-life, that is life until you leave the womb, cause the minute you’re born you better start learning your nursery rhymes about school shootings.
Simple AR-15 is a tool. It exists for a reason.
Many countries around the world allow their citizens to own AR-15s. Here in Austria with a simple licence you can. We have never had a mass shooting (with a legally held or once legally held weapon). Unfortunately the US has a metal health and health crisis. Taking away guns won't change that (they will just start making bombs and killing more).
Instead of frightening kids about mass shootings, let's frighten them with scenes of Australians being rounded up by their own government.
You really should read the governing documents of the US once in a while between stereotyping and coddling of criminals.
No gun owner cares how you feel
I didn't think I would ever hear an Oscar pistorius joke 🤣🤣🤣
It amazes me how many Americans argue that they have the right to carry and the amendment can't be changed.......the clue is in the name "Amend-ment"..
They don't want it changed. Come up with a good way to first remove all the guns the criminals have, it's like banning drugs and alcohol, sure worked out so great. Why don't you try that again? Many more people die because of that than guns. I bet a lot of people die of alcohol in your shit country and you don't vote to forbid alcohol, why is that?
The clue is in Shall not be infringed
@@mcmarkmarkson7115 I'm not arguing that alcohol doesn't kill many becuae it does in most western countries but alcohol also isn't used to kill kids en masse or at las Vegas food festivals etc. It's relatively simple to fix.
Outlaw guns unless you specifically need them (farmers etc), the police carry guns until the amount of gun ownership is at an acceptable level. Introduce new less lethal methods like tasers etc. If you really want change, you'll find a way.....here in the UK, the last school shooting was 1996....in total 18 dead from shootings from that point. ....you can get rid of guns if you really wanted to but it is the whole "it's my right" when in reality they amendment was bought in due to civil war

If you want to compare the U.S to South Africa... gated community, shanty town South Africa then go ahead...
@@theyoutubeguy1 huh?
The UK hasn’t had a mass shooting since the Dunblane massacre in the 90s because our gun laws stop people owning guns unless they are the military, the police, farmers and pest controllers (who are very limited on what they can own).
Only a few people own firearms otherwise, mainly .22 small calibre weapons for target shooting.
I’m not anti gun as I used to shoot at a range in the 80s but if it’s a choice between my owning a gun or stopping a repeat of Dunblane with our strict gun laws I have to accept I can’t own a gun.
Most Brits also support our gun laws which is what counts in a democracy, not the desire of a few to own a gun.
Yeah, and even those that can takes ages for checks to be done. My friend who was in the army mentioned it took the better part of a year for his checks when he wanted a gun to use for hunting.
@@Prince__Teclis yep besides the paperwork you have to fill in you have to be assessed and have security at home, a good secure gun cabinet/safe etc there is a lot involved. If you don’t know about Dunblane or Hungerford there are documentaries on RUclips and articles.
Some people could be trusted with owning a gun but a lot of people I wouldn’t trust with owning one in a million years as they lack common sense or they may have medical issues such as PTSD.
If you look at the US a lot of ex servicemen commit suicide with their guns sadly in the UK although suicide is an issue for ex servicemen the fact that they don’t have an easy option like a gun does help reduce the options to commit suicide.
We don’t help ex service personnel anywhere near enough in either country sadly
There was a shooting spree in Cumbria on 2 June 2010 when taxi driver Derrick Bird killed twelve people and injured eleven others before committing suicide. He used a .22 calibre rifle and a shotgun, both legally owned.
@@JM-jc4up But it happened a little over 14 years apart. Dunblane Massacre in 1996, Cumbria shootings in 2010. There is no perfect system, the cumbria shootings prove that, someone will eventually slip through the cracks. But i think that if there is a gap of 14 years between a shooting incident then that is better than daily gun crime you see in the US. I'm not going to claim the UK if perfect because it certainly isn't but I think its the fact that from an outsider perspective it looks as if nothing is being done by congress or the government to tackle the gun related issues America faces. Maybe I'm wrong but that just my thoughts on the topic.
From March 2019 to March 2020 there was 46000 knife attacks reported in the uk. The period in the US there was less than 1500 knife attacks and 6500 gun related incidents and I just found that information on the uk parliamentary website. So before you go casting aspersions on another country's social problems I'd suggest taking a look at what a nasty dangerous corrupt shit hole the uk is? Btw I'm English.
Jack and jill went up the hill *to get a better vantage point* made me crack up 😂
British licenced firearms owner here.... A lot of UK gun owners want an American style system with guns. But I think what we have works. At least as far as background checks, medicals, referencing etc. And especially safe storage.... even my daughters Nerf gun is locked away in the gun safe.
We haven't had a shooting involving a licenced owner in nearly quarter of a century which is something to be proud of. The way us licenced owners are treated with respect to what we can own and under what circumstances is way over the top though.
Very few people need guns. If you enjoy shooting, go to a range that is licensed that has guns there.
@@danellis-jones1591 very few people need cars! And yet when several terrorist attacks a few years ago involved a car being driven into crowds of people and killing a lot of them, we didn't start talking about banning them.
Using a ranges gun is a non starter. Guns need setting up to an individual. The zero on the sights, the length of pull, the cast, the cant. Look at a picture of the butt plate on a modern smallbore target rifle. They take weeks to set up to an individual correctly. You cannot shoot that discipline by sharing a rifle.
Just about the only discipline where that is possible is pistols. And yet the law on pistols forbids clubs from sharing them. You can only shoot pistols in this country if you own it.
@@ThePippin89 You can keep your gun at a range. Not too difficult.
As for cars, I agree they're dangerous and probably kill more people worldwide than anything else. But just because something is more dangerous doesn't mean guns are somehow less dangerous.
@@danellis-jones1591 so instead of keeping them in one building you want to keep them in another building? How does that solve any problem whatsoever?
In fact a lot of ranges are only open a few days a week. So you want to keep them in a building that is empty a lot of the time and in much larger quantities..... And a building where people know guns are stored? You've basically just made them easier to steal!...
Perfect target for gun thieves really. They know when the building will be empty and that there will be several hundred guns there!
@@ThePippin89 - the purpose of cars is to transport people from one place to another. The purpose of guns is to fire lethal projectiles. There is a big difference between misusing a car and using a gun for it's designed purpose.
Funny and on point. Our gun laws here in the US are ridiculous.

@@arson_ruby2403 my bad I meant to write blackcurrant, but yeah they banned them in 1911. It seems like they might not be banned in every state anymore, but it's not really a thing over there. I read somewhere that something like 0.01% of Americans will have tried blackcurrant.
Also they have kinder eggs, but they don't have toys in them... Is that really a kinder egg though?

@@arson_ruby2403 Yeah it's interesting. It's a very popular flavour over here in the UK, we have Ribena which predominantly makes blackcurrant flavoured drinks.
We also have blackcurrant squash (it's a concentrate you add to water to make a drink) and we have blackcurrant jam. If you ever get the chance to try it I'd recommended it!
I'd say if you like blackberries you'd most likely like blackcurrant.

@@fannypliers3716 Yeah, I agree with you. I'm just curious bc I always see people going, "you know I carry right?" like you know you can't shoot someone just because they inconvenienced you, right?
It's not, but having access to a gun makes it a lot easier for anyone who decides to to shoot people
Yes, but that does beg the question... are there tons of people who get a licence to carry a gun they have NO INTENTION OF EVER USING then? Does that make it... a decorative gun? A fashion accessory? (In which case, why not just get a fake one?)
@@arson_ruby2403 I also agree with that. It's really a horrible idea for people to have any kind of automatic or semi-automatic weapon, if any kind of weapon at all. People who hunt can do it with much less than what we have toda, so there's no justified reason for it.

Lol, you had to back to 2019 huh....Also look at the total, the US hits that number within a week. Nobody claims mass shooting will never happen again, the regularity will drop a huge amount. And let's not pretend guns are the only problem in the US or Australia, both have the same problem with religious extremism, although they will never call it that because "Christians". There is a reason secular countries around the world are doing so well, they did away with barbaric habits, where as the US for example put their barbaric behaviour into law.
Yes there are shootings, but look at the figures 37 Dead over 20 years. Imagine if those shooters had access to semi auto firearms?
We dont have gun shows and getting a AR15/AK47/M15/ MINI14. legally is impossible as anything with a pistol grip/changeable magazine is banned.Also selective fire weapons are a big no no. And then theres the license, backround check , police check, you have to belong to a gun club, and complete a gun course. Then you have to satisfy the authority why you need a gun.(hint protection and self defence are not good reasons!) And then you need to register the gun and the police will check your gun safe to make sure it complies.thats the legal way, criminals who have guns generally only use them on other criminals . To count as mass shootings is deemed to be a shooting where 5 or more are deceased due to gun violence.

I want some of these people to walk into a place that sells firearms and ask for a 'machine gun' or an ' assault rifle' and see how long they actually have to wait before it's in their hands. There are a LOT of steps that have to take place before you are even allowed to PAY for it. It's not like you can get them out of a vending machine and walk away with it in less than a week. I tried to buy a pistol once and didn't realize my driver's license was expired ( by a day(. I got red flagged and was on that list for over a year. Even after my state issued picture ID ( driver's license ) was valid it took hours before i was allowed to even PAY for it. We have robust laws in place. If you were to hold the actual laws and regulations in your hands it would look like the Gutenberg bible. I have no criminal record and i was flagged for trying to buy a firearm without a valid ID. The laws are there but in some shady places they are not properly followed.
Now, to even be allowed to PAY for the fully automatic fire arm you have to apply for a tax stamp, then THAT gets reviewed over a many months long process and it may or may not be rejected.
