  1. So many shooter is because of republicans doing nothing take the guns away

  2. I'm surprised Youtube left the comments on. Allow mw to address the elephant in the room, folks………..:
    Top 10 tell-tale signs of a guaranteed ’mass shooting’ hoax:

    1. The ’suspect’ in question always wears safety glasses in the CCTV footage.

    2. Police Bodycam footage is immediately released on the VERY SAME DAY of event.

    3. Obvious DHS-planted gun control advocates, or ’stooges’, making scripted speeches who typically identify themselves as a ’survivor’ from another staged event within the past year.

    4. Mainstream media mafia frenzy of impossible-to-believe news stories pertaining to a ’manifesto’, or other bogus subjects and propaganda that are ’shooter-related’ that come out on an hourly, daily basis and go on for weeks long after the event is over.

    5. Look for LOTS of bottled-water, on hand or similar provisions, in cases near the participants at the event site. (This was most prevalent at Sandy Hook, even Uvalde.)

    6. Lengthy, long-winded press conferences by local officials that consistently praise their local first responder services like a broken record that usually involve well-planned-ahead-of-time appearances by the governor of the state.

    7. Unexplained obvious event blunders that anyone can spot, however, is NEVER brought up by the media or local officials via news reports, interviews, or is basically ignored all together.

    8. ’Sandy Hook Promise’ ads appearing on social media platforms, either right before, or immediately after said event.

    9. ’Surviving perpetrator’ is NEVER interviewed by the media under any circumstances at ANY time.

    10. HEAVY political gun control lobbying/fall out/rallying(concerts) pertaining to one, or a series of previous recent phony ’mass shooting’ events.

  3. Well, when the media cherry picks events to label as a mass shooting, the data can certainly seem skewed.
    The media never uses the term when a car full of black gang members shoot up a sidewalk in a neighborhood.
    Or when a black dude shoots 10 people in a club because someone scuffed his shoes.
    In fact, the media hardly ever uses the term at all when it involves black people.
    If we look at the fbi's crime statistics by race data, table 43, black people account for 55% of all murders across the country while only making up 12% of the population. That means that 1 out of 8000 black people will murder someone, compared to white peoples 1 out 61000, which makes a black person almost 8x more likely to murder someone than a white person.
    But for some reason, the media and government insist that white people with rifles are the biggest threat to our way of life, while completely ignoring this jaw dropping data.

  4. The only way I couldn’t go on a shooting rampage is because Canada made guns unavailable. Also married life isn’t all what it’s cracked up to be. Life isn’t so miserable when people realize heaven isn’t at the top of mount Olympus.

  5. The price of MY gun freedumb is worth ALL of your lives.

  6. thanks governor abbott for supporting trumpism

  7. Life is very hard!!! This country is making everything harder!!!

  8. If you truly want something done about gun violence, stop voting Republican. They’ve been saying it’s a mental health problem for years and haven’t done a single thing to help mental health in this country. Like the guy said other countries have mental illnesses but don’t have mass shootings because they don’t have access to guns. It’s the access to guns that’s causing this. Wake up republicans.

  9. These shooters are willing to die. How many sane people do that? The gun laws have been the same for many years. The minds of the people have changed.

  10. What do you mean by mass shootings? There's no mass shootings in America. We only have massacres. You know, using knives, chainsaws, machetes, forks, poisons, vases, etc. We love guns! We replace Jesus with guns. Bang bang bang! ❤🔫❤

  11. Joe Biden is why not rocket science

  12. Just generate more gangster rappers to handle that🤣

  13. 👉ADDRESS TRUMPS MENTAL HEALTH
    👉MARJORIE GANGRENE
    👉BO-BO needs a GED.

  14. Intolerance and lack of self control combined with evangelical self importance

  15. Why?—the SICK GOP LOVES GUNS- that’s why.

  16. I bet the old school cowboys laugh at the camo covered goons that use the AR-15

  17. why are there so many mass shootings well that's easy because the Republican party and the NRA let it happen thats why

  18. One big reason mass shootings—usually comitted by people that have white skin—are on the rise in the US is because white supremacist propaganda keeps on spreading and it keeps on getting easier for impressionable people to get a hold of it. 🗣👂🏻

  19. Guns and mental health needs to be addressed not only mental health.

  20. One Subscribe and may Allah bless you always😭❤

  21. Well my company will still make guns I love my white fellow Americans buying my guns ❤

  22. Nothing to do with guns guns have been around for decades there is just the failing of the social network in this country no real adult mentality in the country

  23. Because Americans love guns more then they love their own country. People need to wake up and realize that guns are killing people. Its sad that we can give billions of money to other countries but cant help our own citizens. Mental health, food, a place to live. Its all such a struggle if you don’t have job. We as Americans should be taking care of everyone in our own country!!! We are at war with ourselves!

  24. Becuase there arent enough thoughts and prayers going around. We need more of those

  25. He is right people are stress, depression and angry

  26. Using the definition of a mass shooting the Alabama may not be one since according to the evidence one of the four killed, actually started the shooting.

  27. The guy at 52 seconds explains it perfectly

  28. The only way this will ever stop is if the government requires everyone 25 and older without criminal records to carry 2 AR-15’s at all times to counter active shooters.

  29. Recruiting for the police academy gone wild?1984

  30. "Suns Out Guns Out" has a totally different meaning in basket case America.

  31. Didnt mass shooting used to mean more than 3 people? They upped the number and it's still that d- high?!

  32. Hopefully bat rabies isn't driving folks nuts.

  33. There are many reasons why Mass Murder of Americans is being treated like an Amusement by the Traitorous Republicans but chief among them is that the Traitorous Republicans need a armed wing of the Republican Party to keep their hopes of a Coup alive !!
    They can’t win legally so they went rogue and decided that Democracy is not in their best interest

  34. US buying 20 million new guns every year now. THAT is the reason. Look no further. Follow the money to Big Arma and their Republican puppets. Money doesn't lie

  35. Its simply shootin' season! 😂

  36. Talking about mental health issues, who wrote the 2nd Amendment?😂

  37. Who cares about American's getting shot everyday when you have the NRA cash?🤑

  38. Well if they don't have guns, they won't go up and shoot somebody even if they have mental health problems, and quit blaming mental health, as there are more people without mental health issues that goes around shooting other people.

  39. These are being done by mentally ill nobodies who crave public recognition. The media always obliges them by publicizing their names, photographs, and manifestoes if available. In other words the media gives these people exactly what they want, in return for which the media gets ratings. So principled.

  40. America has horrible gun control laws. I think we need to be on lockdown.

  41. A book written over thirty years ago by a naval intelligence officer "BEHOLD A PALE HORSE" revealed classified documents from the CIA – they had plans to create mass shootings in malls and schools to erode our Constitutional rights.
    So I strongly suggest you confront the CIA!
    For the record – the author of the book "BEHOLD THE PALE HORSE" was murdered.

  42. Whenever they say "looking to address the situation or cause of this" what they really mean is "We not gonna do anything about it we just hope you forget in time"

    Or I love "thoughts and prayers" because that always stops the killing.
