When I was a boy my dad ordered a rifle from Sears Roebuck. The mail lady leaned it against the mailbox post. No ffl. No bgc. We didn't have much crime. Now we have bgc. We have to buy through ffl. We have restricted numbers of rounds. We have more crime.
It's not the guns. It is a cultural problem. None of the gun laws have stopped crime. No gun control law ever will.
No more. Give back the rights the ever more intrusive government has stolen from us.
Criminals DO NOT follow the laws so they will always hunt non armed victims. Cops are not preventing crimes they are a reaction law enforcement. Whats wrong with law abiding people protecting themselves in a immediate life danger situation? You never know when it will happen. You cant call the cops at that life changing moment. What will you do? Beg? Cry? Pray? Criminals dont care about any of that. Bang!!!!
Wow. False framing before even 1 guest spoke. That's amazing.
Police have no duty to protect an individual and police response times are on average 20 minutes. Violent crime rates have tripled in certain areas pre and post covid. I refuse to be disarmed just because people are triggered on firearms and think disarming certain people by default is going to stop people that want to commit murder or some type of other violent crime. I'm tired of seeing violent crimes being committed by repeat offenders and getting slaps on the wrist. If you want a significant reduction in crime simply jail violent offenders longer. You cannot commit a crime if you are either dead, unconscious or locked up. There would be no violation of rights and the second amendment wouldn't come into play when considering violent criminal offenders. District Attorneys need to do their job and stop being pro leftist infinitely giving the benefit to minorities committing violent crimes repeatedly and treating them with kid gloves. If you commit a violent crime then you should take the full brunt of the punishment period.
Another problem with the gun control debate is that the constant notion that firearms are only for sporting uses. That is not what the right to bear arms is.
12:44 The problem with background checks or any other policy regarding records keeping relative to the association or history of an individual is that such records are not accurate to the state not communication with each other or keep records up to date with consistency. I have no criminal convictions and yet I was denied transfer on multiple occasions. Likewise when I have run police and military through a firearms background check with a 4473 at an FFL. Asinine.
Why is it that people inevitably say empty platitudes about gun controls? No one actually discusses logistics of attempting to enforce measures they vaguely talk about? People don't have a clue what they are talking about and they put NO consideration to real world requirements for effective enforcement.
0:39 64% of people POLLED does NOT mean 64% of Americans. It is a limited poll determined by numbers and numbers influenced depending on how you conduct poll. Same tired arguments.
🏹 Remember their face.. Target 'em. Good luck.
Governments murdered 100 million people in the 20th century. We'll keep our guns, thank you.
I've never once been involved in a shooting, never seen one in person. Don't know anybody that has. Yet I've been smashed into by drunk drivers twice. Seen many more. See people driving high daily. I have more fear of being killed on the road by loser drunks and drug addicts than I do of being shot. The "issue of guns" is blown way out of proportion.
I don't get out enough.
Some weeks ago, I saw a street survey asking, "What is the one thing you would change about the Constitution?" I was not there to contribute my answer: an explicit and binding definition of the word "person". Two hundred years before the Supreme Court decision which enabled corporations to seize disproportionate levels of political power, I would have spiked the merest potential for this pervasive warping corruption to override the will of the people.
All the while that corporations treat workers as a liability to be exploited and sacrificed in competition for the investor dollar, free enterprise will fail to bridge the widening divide between those who have more than plenty and those who have only promises.
Yes, Rep McBath, I aim my finger at you.
Hello globohom0
The NRA is a cancer on our society.
They should all take a class on how to survive an avalanche then stick them all deep into one and test there skills they just learned
Guns aren't our problems – liberalism for 3 decades is our problems
I don't think it's the guns at all I think it's corporate greed and corrupt Government. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and we didn't have all these mass shootings we graduated high school and went to work in factories of all types with good pay or went to collage paying for it with a part time job over the summer, fall in love get married buy a small home start a family and the wife could stay home and raise the kids with one income. I believe it was called the American dream. What do young adults do now good paying jobs went over seas college gets you a piece of paper with a mortgage payment housing costs untouchable cost of living thru the roof and then there is the cost of health care FFS. I think corporate greed and the corrupt government letting this happen and forgetting about the average American has caused so much stress that people SNAP……………
So, if you arm the good guy with a gun he will be able to stop the bad guy with a gun. The bad guy doesn't have a chance of shooting first. Uhm really shmm.
The United States today has a national mental illness .The republican party went rogue and has become a dangerous Cult . No more sense of actual governing .. They are owned by the gun lobby who gladly buy them off . There is so much hate now… The personal greed of the wealthy is over the top. Gaslighting is now the New Norm . The truth no longer has any value . At 63 I decided i had had enough and moved out of my homeland . I now live as an expat and left all that insanity behind . I feel I can breathe again ! I have no plans to return any time in the future . It's NOT the nation I thought I knew !
Stop selling lead and steal ammunition with out a permit.
Sell wax ammunition instead.
I use to believe in the second amendment but our Country has gotten sick and twisted that freedom, letting it go to extreme.
