  1. Reform, we are war. It's WW3 it's too late for reform.

  2. I will gladly get rid of my guns if you can guarantee that thugs won't be able to carry one either.

  3. So thankful I'm Australian

  4. The NRA is the marketeer for gun manufactures, need to go after them.

  5. We don't need guns, the government will protect us, just like with their vaccines

  6. What's the liberty comparison?

    Give me liberty or give me death…

  7. Psychological operation
    Persuade…change…influence

  8. More anti-gun propaganda.

  9. Fight for the right to be defenseless

  10. Guns should be mandatory for everyone over 5 yrs old

  11. I feel like there is nowhere safe for anybody in this country we live in a country where guns are more worth than people life's in innocent children and people Ted Cruz is a coward of a man! In all the rest of them!!

  12. Other countries don't have an organization like the NRA, who gives generous monies to gun crazed people, into gun nutjobs.

  13. Violent Offender Punishment Reform!! This is the problem!!

  14. In a biased, racist and unjust society such as America any gun laws enacted will adversely impact the minority citizens on which the enforcement will be directed. Mental health like any other health issues is not the cause of killings. The new generation of killers are those who have been pampered and lack the social skill for conflict resolution. Parents who can instill discipline and command respect for authority figures are far and few.

  15. When a US citizen joins the military we take an oath to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. Therefore citizens must be armed in the event we have a domestic threat against our Constitution.
    In the recent and unfortunate Uvalde shooting,, sounds to me that an armed security guard failed to do thier job.

  16. Yeah cause theya are dictatorships XD

  17. Those statistic show that less people are murdered in the United States.

  18. Very deceitful statistics because people in those countries murder others using other weapons.

    Only 3000 people die per year to gun murders.
    America doesn’t have a gun violence problem.

    This is deceitful propaganda to take away our guns and to enslave us all to their most evil communist dictatorship

  19. 👉Even a Pencil, a kitchen knife and a pillow may become a letal weapon in the hands of uneducated people. Put more attention on education in every levels on life values and life respect, since morality is not used and money runs the social life society became nuts, the guns does not shoot itself.

  20. The reason why it worked in those countries is because they don’t have the same gun culture that America has.

  21. Stop bullying first of all. Violent, psychological, or social bullies are criminals – regardless of age.

  22. Why is the USA not willing to stop? GUN LOBBYISTS And elected officials.

  23. I wanna leave the US and go somewhere safer.. idk why people are eager to come to this country of slaughter

  24. You're preaching to the choir, or the majority of this country who feel the same way. It is the far right GOP that refuses to listen. They would rather line their pockets with blood money from the NRA and it will be to their detriment. They are a ticking time bomb. **VOTE BLUE IN 2022** TICK TOCK ⏰

  25. The difference is Canada, the Uk, and Australia don't have the NRA lining the pockets of their politicians, and they don't kowtow to gun lobbyists.

  26. USA has a gun addiction

  27. Vote Blue. VOTE BLUE. VOTE BLUE

  28. How logical republican terriosts should be voted out

  29. When was the second mass shooting in Australia. The report says there was another one after Part Arthur? Is that true?

  30. Well this is the USA and Americans are not giving up their guns. Americans don’t like Australia and Trudeaus Canada. Lol….Like prisons

  31. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED

  32. THIS IS 100% INDIRECT LIES
    **STRONGER/NEW GUN LAWS *CANNOT STOP MASS/SCHOOL SHOOTINGS,***
    plain simple fact, and any politician pushing for
    gun laws for this reason needs to be fired, they just don't have common
    sense needed to do the job, show me one school shooter that obeys laws,
    (NOT OF MY OPINION, BUT OF FACT) i feel you, i understand
    the emotions, YES we have to do something, but, something that will work
    , gun laws just won't , they just can't ,

  33. About 50% of that 37% gun death number in Canada in 2020 happened in Nova Scotia during the mass shooting where over 20 were killed.

    We have not had a mass shooting in 2 years.

  34. I also bet that those other countries do NOT have the NRA. That also helps.

  35. 💯…AI Detection of a weapon in the school is to late,all the doors would have to be changed out ,with push of one button would lock down all school class room doors,with both actions put into action together now stopping a shooter is possible or it all could be a automatic response, where the technology sees a gun the technology immediately locks all class rooms and a outside light starts blinking and within the school too..within seconds and notifies police..
