President Biden says gun violence in the US is an “epidemic” and an “international embarrassment”. So what’s he trying to do about it? And are more gun laws the answer? #AJStartHere with @sandragathmann explains.

The NRA and cpac both take law abiding citizens guns before you’re allowed to hear elitist politicians speak about how gun free zones are bad… let that roll around in your head
Here in America, we value “freedom” over the lives of school children these days. Nice one idiots 🇺🇸
I value children’s lives, and freedom. But unlike you I don’t blame lawful gun owners for the actions of a deranged psycho, and a bunch of coward cops.
So how does dis arming law abiding citizens help stop criminals from killing people?
The fact she thinks biden actually runs things takes away from her opinions on anything
So we already have laws that are supposed to keep felons and other criminals from having guns but yet they still get them off the black market. So taking away gun rights from legal citizens that can poses guns is supposed to stop criminals from getting guns off the black market 🤔? If they get them illegally then how is a “stricter’ gun control law going to them?
America needs to put ban on manufacturing, selling, buying and owning of guns for civilians like every other countries! That will fix things up! black market will break eventually and expensive.
A teacher throws herself in front of a hail of bullets to protect the children and ONLY a Democrat says gee… I’m glad she didn’t have a gun!
Teacher should not hold a gun. What happen if she open fire at the kids
@88Expert Wow! That’s got to be the dumbest thing I’ve heard in awhile. Teachers probably want to shoot students every other day but they don’t.
So there were plenty of cops standing around scratching their butts and a border control agent jumps up, grabs the barber’s SHOTGUN and runs in himself to save his family and evacuate children. Nobody’s complaining about THAT gun. I wonder why?
@Daniel Chui Well, that’s what Democrats are pushing so, a relevant question.
@Kenneth Russell It is certainly not Mr. Strawman…
@Daniel Chui Nope…. Not when they explicitly call for it. Have you ever wondered what would happen if we had no guns? Hint… I’d carry a sling and some rocks in my pockets.
@Kenneth Russell You’re still ‘straw-manning’ but I’ll entertain this argument as well.
By creating a ‘no guns’ USA hypothetical, you are essentially digging your own self into a hole. That is because you are now blatantly weighing your individual right to bear arms above that of preventable innocent deaths. I believe that is pretty straight forward. If you agree with that statement then I suppose I have nothing to argue with you about but you also cant deny it.
@Daniel Chui And THERE’S the default setting of a liberal! You said it yourself! You equated gun ownership with “preventable” loss of life. I try to explain this to Democrats ALL THE TIME and they just look at me like I’m explaining quantum physics. It’s NOT THAT COMPLICATED! If your 18 year old 5 foot 100 pound daughter is attacked by a 6 foot 250 pound man she can do NOTHING to stop him! If you give her a gun and teach her to shoot SMALL TARGETS she will call 911 after blowing his NUTS off! Guns are PRO WOMAN! They PREVENT crime by making SMALL PEOPLE as powerful as BIG PEOPLE! Does ANY of this register? Are you getting ANY of this? What do you propose? We go back to cave men where the biggest grot with the biggest club has his pick of whomever or whatever he wants? Is THAT your solution?
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.
Did the person talking at 8:55 suggest we lock up US citizens with mental health issues?
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 Uvalde shooting,, sounds to me that an armed security guard failed to do thier job.
And yet ,no banning guns.
So sad that the US is still in its infancy with gun reforms almost a year on.
Ted Cruz quote “Why is it that people come from all over the world to America? Because it’s the freest, most prosperous, safest country on earth”. The truth is “Every day, more than 110 people are killed from guns and more than 200 are shot and wounded.”
Guns aren’t contributing to the biggest reason for black death it’s drugs and fatherless homes
Guns in kenya are used by cattle rustlers and bandits. It has left many families in pain.
America is a crazy place. I’d be terrified to bring up a family there.
Its not terrifying at all. Hahahaha. Too bad South Americans and Mexicans don’t think that, overrunning our borders.
@Logan fun fact there are more American going to Mexico than Mexican going to the US
@88Expert source dude trust me
@Noah Sawyer bruh go Google it
My 1st amendment rights are being denied because the don’t want to control. It’s not safe anywhere. Not in grocery stores, movies, gas stations. What about our rights to pursue of happiness, no where is safe.
Bullshit, the country is very safe!!!
Best presentation .
Om swastiastu Suksma, United at world thanks.
Let make it easier for all Americans to obtain a gun! I propose making gun theft legal. I also want a $20,000/gun tax on the production of any new gun. All current military enlistment offices can become a place where the government pays any person who wants to turn in a gun for cash, we could start at $100/gun and as more guns are turned in we raise the price. Imagine if you could get $10,000 for a gun and theft of guns were legal, criminals would be afraid to commit crimes with guns out of fear of their gun being stolen. Everyone would still have the right to own a gun, no rights would be stepped on. There would be far less gun crime, people with the few remaining guns would take every precaution to ensure that their gun stayed safely hidden away out of fear of theft. Since it is statistically more dangerous now to be an American gun owner than a non gun owner, so the fact that guns would make their owners targets of theft should be a small inconvenience the owners would accept. I venture to guess that gun deaths would drop to almost zero within a few years and mass shooting would end immediately. Best part is no gun rights would be taken away, in fact gun ownership would be easier for people who currently can not afford one.
You cant tax a right. If you got 10000 for turning in a gun, people would buy a $200 gun and turn it in for $10000! Stupid! Criminals dont obey laws!
In the UPSA the words “gun” and “control” will never be written in the same sentence.
So allow me to ask you Einstein so we take all the guns away from law abiding citizens and then we’ll have no more problems right just goes to show once again you’re Brit Dead from the neck up you have no no common sense
That’s a lie your statistics are wrong that’s a lie you’re lying your statistics are way off there is not 40,000 people killed a year with guns more people are killed with hammers than they are with guns if you want to come on here and talk get your facts right don’t come on here and lie tell the truth
Where is the articles that state that?
I’ll tell you what’s a national embarrassment it’s called Joe Biden that’s a national embarrassment that’s what has us embarrassed around the world a guy who has no business being president and administration that is full of people that don’t know what they’re doing no leader no second in command an absolute joke around the world dancing embarrassment
you’re a national embarrassment
I can’t watch comfortably because there are too many shooting sounds and it’s too loud
If you say guns kill people, then you can also say pencils misspell words and cars drive drunk and spoons make people fat! A person is what makes a gun dangerous. We don’t have a gun control problem. We have a people problem. A gun is an inanimate object. There are several steps before a firearm is dangerous. It takes a person to get a gun, get bullets, load the magazine, put the bullets in the magazine, chamber a round, point the gun at someone and squeeze the trigger. Guns are not the problem. Try putting God back in schools. Maybe that will eliminate some evil.
It’s not guns, it’s mental illness and fatherlessness. There are more guns than people. If gun ownership was the problem, we would *really* know about it
It is a well regulated militia that has been killing children in schools with the approval of the general public, mostly republicans. And to think that in the American army the regulation of guns to which soldiers are subject, is enormous.
The government failed this children, and more than likely they did it on purpose for their agenda.
One has to ask. With all the problems needing to be solved in this country, inflation, food shortages, high rent, wages, open border issues, China, Russia, coming great recession, and etc. why is this administration spending sooooo much time on going after gun owners, when there are so many other causes of death in this country that dwarf gun deaths, or threats. Especially when you take suicide out of the picture which counts for many deaths. Any one wants to die, just take fentinol. Don’t have to blow your brains out. This country’s protests, and gun attention is extremely focused in the wrong direction. If we don’t take care of the economic problems about ready to plague this country under Biden’s administration, suicides will double. Not because of guns, but because of your economic welfare, and standard of living. This administration has half destroyed this country in the first two years of Biden’s administration, and will destroy the other half in his last two years of his presidency. The attention to gun ownership is a diversion of the public away from the real problems about to engulf this nation. Why is not our government going after the Cartel that is killing 80,000 – 100,000 our people every year? A thousand more times than mass shooters are killing.
Nearly 40,000 now that is not a greatly inflated number
Everything seems nice but for the irritating music
cars kill over 40K people per year.
nobody’s trying to sue the Alcohol industry because they can’t ignore the personal responsibility aspect of the decision to drink and drive.
(the same exists for misusing a firearm)
They 🇺🇸 have more guns than people yet iran and Palestinian Yemen Lebanon syria is a threat
All this shootings killing yet America will never label them as terrorists or nazis but for others they get so high
Gun Type/Rounds Fired – Gun Regulation Needed:
1) No Ban or Limit on the Type of gun one can own. Not all gun types allowed in all areas/public places.
2) Punishment and jail time are set by the criminal and is determined by the number of rounds fired by any firearm during a crime that resulted in injury or death.
3) Formula: Injury/Robbery with any Firearm – 2 years minimum for every round fired that caused injury. NO shortened sentence for good behavior. Sentence must be served to term.
4) Formula:Death – Crime resulting in any death: 5 years minimum for every round fired that caused a death, times the number killed. NO shortened sentence for good behavior or appeal when convited by a 15 panel jury. Sentence must be served to term.
5) Death of 2 or more people with a weapon or firearm: Punishable by Death Penalty within 2 weeks of proven conviction, 21 Panel Jury. NO Appeal!
6) Rounds fired over 25 resulting in any death = Death Penalty. NO Appeal if convicted by a 21 panel jury.
– We do not need to regulate any gun type, just the actions and behaviors of those using the firearms. Illegal activity and disregard for life MUST be met with strong, harsh punishments that do not punish law abiding citizens/gun owners, only criminals. Laws for self-defense also need to be revised. This idea on punishment per bullet fired puts the criminal in the position of setting their own maximum sentence. Gun type does not matter, rounds that are fired does. All shooters will need to think very hard before unloading a high number of rounds or firing the gun at all.
@Mr G Lol, and what about the rate of errors? Police investigations and trials take longer than that. Or does the right to a fair trial go away?
@ratman Increased jury size to 20-25. If convicted. Death with 2 weeks. Fair trial.
@ratman Is the chance a rogue gun owner takes by firing more than 5 rounds.
@Mr G No, I mean the innocent put to death by a rushed trial. You guys get enough wrong with your bodgy system as it is lol.
@ratman Hey Ratman… the idea is to save more lives, let all existing keep the guns they have and punish those that intentionally do harm and destruction to others. You have a lot a good information to add to this conversation. How about helping come up with a solution for the senseless killings, while protecting the rights of law abiding gun owners. I don’t own a gun, but that is my hope for the future. What do you think the solution is? I can live with one innocent lost as long as they still get the actual shooter and we save the lives of 26 or 100 school children or concert goers. No system is perfect. We look to save the majority right? Eliminate the lost who are focused on taking us with them. Their lives are already over. We choose life! Let’s work to put things in place to protect it.
America is a country full of people steeped in fear and ignorance. There is something hidden deep in the American’s psyche, that makes them fearful. I can guess and speculate on what that may be, but the bottom line is guns shouldn’t be readily available to the masses as it further perpetuates that fear.
So only the most powerful and corrupt people should have access to them is what your suggesting. No thanks.
If that’s really what you believe you are absolutely clueless about firearms and firearm culture
@NoBot617 I am your right, I just kno how stupid and backwards Americans are
@jason white you have no idea about anything american If that’s what you think. Your just an ignorant fool.
The president of the United States and his family are protected by AR-15s. Why should I accept anything less for my family?
“Gun violence has taken more likes than any other public health crisis of our time”
No it FUCKlNG HASN’T
1:17 how do gun laws work? Que ruby ridge. So first they accuse you of attempting to see a shotgun that’s got a barrel shorted than 18 inches then they come to shoot your dog, your kid and then your wife who’s holding your baby. 🙂 It’s just common sense.
….. … Always, before the slaughter of their own citizens, the butcher dictators will try to take the weapons from the hands of the population. Then follow the executions. Almost all were Marxists like US democratic party. (Mao Tze Dung, Pol Pot, Lenin… etc.)
Remember Bill Clinton, Obama, Hillary, and now Biden wirh the same ideology.
Those who do not learn from history will repeat it and the price will be the end of freedom.
It amazes me these idiots scream gun control for safety of school. But they are all for killing babies in the womb. But hey a few get shot guns got to go.never mind the genocide they commit every yr. Hitler Stallings every person dead in history doesn’t equal the genocide of abortion. And guns are the criminals here. Ppl are so stupid!
Second Amendment to the United States Constitution – “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Fundamentally what created our country was our ability as a people to rise against the government as they become tyrannical in nature.
The Second Amendment IS the voice of the people, with no Second Amendment there is no First. Without even considering the empirical data, and self defense arguments which have merit of their own, it allows the people the option of non-compliance to Government which without, is forfeit. I’m going to take a shot in the dark and imagine that Hong Kong’s protests don’t favor the protestors having to fight back against THEIR tyrannical government with archery equipment. If you disagree with Government or Politics, the 2nd Amendment is the right of the PEOPLE. I may have been born in Korea, but I was raised American, Protect the FREE PEOPLE!
Gun violence has taken more lives than any other public health crisis? How about heart disease. Maybe if everyone stopped praising obesity we wouldn’t lose 647,000 a year.
Joe Biden is an national embarrassment, and gun control is stupid: disarming the public while criminals roam free is a recipe for disaster (NYC, Chicago, Baltimore, LA…).
You want me to trust you with my vote but you don’t trust me with guns, really?
This talk about good
3:19 she isn’t wrong. The problem is the lying by omission, Who makes up the Militia? 2008 Heller Case secures that the populous is secured their right to make up the militia.
What garbage. Utter garbage.
I’m not religious but I do find the parables can be applied even today. David would never had defeated Goliath without his projectile weapon. Nothing would have pleased Goliath back in the day, than a government that banned slingshots. Careful what you wish for…
More people in America get killed by the knife than they do the gun let’s get rid of knives and Democrats
Why don’t they talk about the people getting stabbed to death in America which is four times the people getting shot by a gun
The only good gun control is self defense gun training.
They make it so simply buying a gun legally can get you arrested through a private sale. They track peoples’ phones through network carriers even at Gun shows. There are few states where you can legally go to private sales.
When the Federal Government does this to our people, it makes our Nation less defensible and the threats we face as a Nation will never go away.
These illegal Federal and State gun laws need to go away, talking in the YouTube comments as if our Representatives are listening to us is the only way forward.
No thanks, id rather be able to defend myself and family and I’m not gonna make the same mistakes the Jews or Armenians did. I’m not depending on the government for anything, especially protection.
In 1978, at the tender age of 12, I made a conscious decision to not own a gun, thinking it would not be necessary for me.
In 2018, after seeing how Democrats were relentlessly attacking President Trump – and after gaining a greater understanding of their true objective, I had to rethink 40 years of ideology. Today, I own 5 guns. Democrats did that!
What in the world are these people talking about? First off These people count incidents where people have been killed by police, commit suicide, shot a burglar, accidental, and everything else. 2nd off Drugs kill almost 3x more people a year (107,600 just last year) than guns (42,000) let’s ban that…oh wait. They make no fuss about drugs but “gun’s bad, guns need banned”. A drug not even grown in this country is everywhere but they think you can get guns off the streets lol.
Not only won’t it work but you are infringing on our constitutional Rights and that is grounds for a Revolutionary war, and if some of our own citizens want to help infringe than I guess civil war. Either way we ain’t having it. They actually think we will just hand them over? From our cold dead hands u will have to take em.
When existing law unjustly punishes and permanently removes 2nd amendment rights for drinking & driving who is the injured party to question in court, who is the victim when all offenses are pull-over-and-blow arrests void of the accident, incident, victim, or injured party? (This law desecrates Jurisprudence!)
Michigan law says 3 DUIs in a lifetime creates a permanent non-reversible felony. This newly created non-violent criminal is unable to hunt, and protect himself, his wealth, or his family by firearm, ever! (A permanent felon!)
The obscure law has a nexus with federal law and is based on imaginary death and destruction that drinking and driving often creates and does not discriminate between having a victim and victimless offenses. (There’s no distinction in law between accidents or incidents having a victim vs simple pull-over and blow arrests!)
When DUIs are victimless, without having an injured party the severity of punishment should never permanently remove 2nd amendment gun rights …
I believe this bill could get passed if properly presented because of the lack of distinction between the two classes (With Victim/Without Victim) of offenses!!!!
At 15 seconds, starts with a lie. “more than 20,000 people died because of a gun”. No! Most of these deaths were suicides. 24,000 deliberate suicides in 2021 were committed with firearms. Cities with gun prohibitions experience a higher rate of suicide but method of death is not firearm induced. I remember when journalist were unbiased and educated…no more.
Government creates black market on drugs, black market creates violence, government takes away the rights of the people not breaking the laws. The cycle repeats. Everyone giving up these rights deserve neither the safety promised or the liberty they gave up.
So you try to ban people like me from owning a firearm. You think that stops gun violence? Most Americans feel that gun violence started with people like you. Oh, and BTW, you never had to register ammo. Nice try. And Machine guns are, and still are, banned. Know what you are even talking about. If you have a family, make sure to keep yourself armed. No, it was not the states keeping check of a tyrannical government. It was US keeping you in check.
Hello let’s not discombobulate the text or the Integrity of the conversation these gun laws and reforms there is nobody to say whether somebody should have one or not it is unfair it is on right and it will be abolished people that get caught using them for a fall attention of a certain level there will only be a few of them because none of the rest will want to happen to him we’re going to go back in time a little bit but it’s going to be a much happier life style there will be a global ceasefire within this 24 hours all of my peoples will be home everybody shooting their guns into the ground or beer cans I need Society to pull together and keep civil there will be food brought everywhere for people if they need it don’t get greedy and take it all at once so everyone can keep up and I’m going to put together a whole new program that the world will be able to enjoy to follow and wander around on thank you and bless you all there’s no more Nation the United Kingdom is over as in the Europeans running the world that is over we are all mutuals nobody will harm them matter of fact I want to get to know the king I want to hear the vibrations that thank you and bless you all stay peaceful the ones who wait there will be a statement stay peaceful
fake and gay
Al Jazeera is foreign state media, hellbent on taking down America. No wonder they are in favor of gun control.
Impossible to believe anything in this video when they include suicides in the gun violence stats. What are the stats on overdose violence and rope violence?
All you have to do is look back at a 1956-1957 television series called Highway Patrol staring Broderick Crawford. In that series, although there were plenty of guns, they were not the issue. Persons using guns in the commission of a crime, criminals, were. They were apprehended and they were punished. More gun laws only hurt law abiding citizens. The criminals don’t care. 👮👮♂🕵
Americans loving their guns more than their children
Which is absolutely not true.
Don’t care, didn’t ask. Shall not be infringed.
The terrorist network lecturing Americans on guns and pops up as top choice in search from their buddies on Pewtube.
GUN LAWS DON’T EFFECT CRIMINALS….THE CRIMINALS HELPING CRIMINALS..make no mistake, politicians want the constitution gone. Then what! Slavery…
NO THANKS.
ANYTHING the GOVERNMENT DOESN’T WANT YOU having SOMETHING…… THEN YOU should PROBABLY have it……. Kathy hochul said a good guy with a gun DOESN’T stop a bad guy with a gun ….uhhhhh ok THEN I GUESS be the POLICE should hand OVER THEIR guns…… They DON’T need em to stop a bad guy
Historically speaking, that was then, this is now…
Can someone explain to me why some responsible gun owners grow beards wear shades and dress like they’re in the special forces…🤣
Because they can?
@bird freedom of expression😁
@grudzz 70
I guess yeah.
give non violent felons our gun rights back…..
Absolutely. If you have paid your debt to society you deserve your rights back.
She is lying about the registration of guns in the early days of the country. She is trying to twist laws on powder storage because unlike smokeless powder Black powder is an explosive. It may be a low explosive but an explosive non the less. If you kept a barrel of powder near a kerosene lamp it could blow up several homes. Today they only reason for registration is confiscation. That is a pure fact. So don’t buy into the lies this idiot in the video is reciting from the Muslim play book
The last thing a Pedophile wants (Joe Biden, Newsom, and Schiff included), is to have the parents of a child they molested, to have access to a firearm.
We lose more lives to fast food
3 times as many are beaten to death. Your opinion is moot. 2nd ammendment prevents you from acting against us.
Thank you for uploading this topic about Gun control in America, Sandra. Now, everyone can use this video for Speech classes in Colleges. : )
Woah! So the idiots somehow took the second half of the second amendment and made it independent from the first half. Absolute scam. Unacceptable. The only right use of firearm in the US is for militia purposes only. It’s not something you can use to protect yourself at home according to the second amendment. I question if the idiots in those powerful positions passed English on their own. The real and just solution is to get rid of all firearms. Also, about that gun shop owner who said more people die from knives, it does not matter. With knives, you have better odds of survival. With guns, you don’t have much options. And to the right wing politician, no you cannot target the bad guys and the mentally ill. They hide in plain sight.
So people, particularly vulnerable populations _(most women, elderly and disabled people),_ MUST rely solely on the police to protect them from violent criminals — who are generally physically stronger men. Interesting. Don’t liberals claim to distrust the police and that “All Cops Are Bastards” _(which I agree with)?_ Why, then, do they only want cops to be the ones with the resources to protect? Also take note that most of these anti-g/un politicians have people WITH guns protecting them. If they were truly passionate about their views, they would apply that rule ACROSS THE BOARD; their body guards would not have firearms. But, they’re rich, right? Their lives matter more, right?
@Seen Don You are missing many points. People rarely ever fight violent criminals. So yea. They should call the cops and in the meantime give them what they have. Or others can use nonlethal rubber rounds for now which can still kill. I don’t really care about liberals nor conservatives. The answer usually lies in the middle in a way you’d never expect. Cops are accountable today with bodycams and they do not overstep their boundaries so long as you comply. Politicians have haters who can potentially assassinate them. The likelihood of them getting killed is much higher than you. So they use bodyguards and the police to protect themselves. No difference between that and us using cops. Just remember. It was just last month someone bought a gun and went on a spree with it. I do not trust a civie with a gun. And do you honestly think it’s wise to fight a cop with a gun? That’s guaranteed death for you on the spot. Might as well accept the detainment and talk it out. If you are lucky, you can makes some money over a lawsuit.
None of what you said matters. I have the right to bear arms. Leave me alone or come and take them.
Millions of people are shot dead in a year?
Good.
People without guns trying to take guns from the people who carry them😂 all I gotta say is good luck bud. Give me liberty or give me death
You have to look at violence not just gun violence. Some people will murder people with blunt objects, knives, and anything you can imagine. In the marines we learned of weapons of opportunity meaning you can use many objects around you to kill somebody if you have to. If you did manage to get rid of guns all you would do is disarm the victims who are physically weaker than their attackers. To limit violence you need to look at root cause, most gun violence is gang violence and most gang violence is socioeconomic. I think we have an issue of toting the party line too much in this country. I am for gun rights but also realize not everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps, some don’t even have boot straps so social programs are needed. I think many who support gun rights need to realize that people born in a disadvantaged environment need to be helped and are incapable of overcoming the barriers they were born into. Many jobs that pay well require education, and if you can’t afford that education you are locked into low paying jobs. Given that many choose to sell drugs and since that is an illegal activity they can’t litigate problems so they turn to violence. This isn’t about equal results, it’s about making the starting line equal, it’s not socialism to give everyone a fair chance at the start. Most gun violence is committed by poor people, middle class people don’t commit gun violence.
🇺🇸 We’re never going to give them up! Come try🇺🇸
When the drug Cartel come to rob my house and kill my family you anti guns better show up with your knives to protect us from the bad guys called CRIMINALS!
The last thing a Pedophile wants (Joe Biden included), is to have the parents of a child they molested, to have access to a firearm.
It is time to wake up! Gun control is hitting the target you are aiming at! What IS needed is criminal control, with so many Soros backed ‘prosecutors’ that apply “catch & release” to every criminal is it any surprise that those criminals turn around & continue to be a plague on society? The only way to establish law & order is to help the criminals realize that there is NO benefit in being a criminal, by STOPING all plea bargaining, criminals should be prosecuted to the FULL extent of the law! (BTW…prison is NOT suppose to be a country club…they should be held accountable for their actions in & out of prison!).
I have always said Ban all Gun full stop. No Guns NO KILLing right ,Americans don’t need all those evil guns, Americans love killing and war.
Come and take them, tyrant.
There are not 20 states that you don’t need a background check to purchase a gun. ALL states have a background check required by the federal government. Why is it that the people who keep pushing for more control are clueless to how any of this even works
“ALL states have a background check required by the federal government.”
NOT for private sales in MOST states.
“Why is it that the people who keep pushing for more control are clueless to how any of this even works”
Epic irony right there…
@ratman That would only be irony if I didn’t already know that. Did you watch the video? At 6:30 she says in 20 states you don’t have ANY obligation to get a background check. This is simply not true. That is why I stated that the background checks are mandated at the federal level and apply in all states. She didn’t say in 20 states in this one instance for private sale only you don’t need a background check. That’s being ignorant or lying.
@kpxoda1 YOU didn’t specify gun shop sales only. YOU left out the fact that in most states you can buy guns legally with ZERO checks of ANY sort.
And your excuse is SHE didn’t specify?
LOLz…
@ratman you don’t take that as her being disingenuous? Most sales are made through gun shops, I’ll have to look at the stats but I’m sure it’s north of 90 percent. She is trying to make it sound as if it’s a free-for-all with no checks being done whatsoever. This is to get people to think, man we need to do something about this, when in fact the overwhelming majority of sales are done with a 4473 background check.
B, you will never have a utopia. Guns or no guns. Black and Hispanics gangbangers and feminist are the problem.
Twisted truth and outright LIES!
gun control will not save someone dying of old age.
Stop doubting US constitution .
Idiot
I agree 100% with what you said. There’s a reason literaly every country besides the USA requires a permit and/or registration of firearms. Even switzerland which gunowners like to bring up – requires a permit to purchase a firearm, and for pistols and semi-automatic rifles there’s a permit needed to own them. Owning a gun isn’t a ‘god given right’, you weren’t born with a gun in your hand, its a situation similar to that with cars – you need to prove that you are responsible and know the rules before you get a license, yet most people owns a car or two. Why can’t we just do the same thing with firearms is beyond me The Second Amendment and ‘shall not be infringed’ isn’t an excuse, because times change, with it technology, culture and with that new challenges – gun violence is one of them.
@ratman The 2a is the revolution right! Our gov only stands if we as the militia allow it to. It was the militia that started the first revolution. There wasn’t an American army in 1776! Ratman, you’re truly ignorant!
Inalienable God given constitutionally guaranteed rights unlike whatever dump you eminate from!
I have a serious hypothetical question. If I were dead set on going on a killing spree, what exactly does obtaining a permit do to stop me? How would it change my mind? How would registering the firearm stop me? If the prospect of life in prison or even the death penalty won’t deter me, why would a permit? Does having a drivers license stop people from drinking and driving? Or do people just need an alcohol permit too? Once again, what would an alcohol permit do to stop people from drinking and driving?
@Scurvy McGruff Bingo!
@Scurvy McGruff It wouldn’t ‘stop you’ per se, what it would do is give the people issuing the permit a higher chance to detect something is wrong, especialy if it takes a whole procedure to complete that takes a few weeks/months – if there’s something wrong with you, they will most likely detect it by yopur behaviour. Additionaly there’s all that paperwork you had to submit to even apply for a permit in the first place. At that point it becomes an x-ray of your personality and past actions.
Laws are supposed to discourage crime, they will never stop it, just like gun laws are supposed to regulate guns, but will never be fully successful. Its still better then allowing everyone get a gun, which would include people with unsavory intensions.
Aren’t big cities across America letting seriously dangerous criminals out of jail and not charging them in some cases 🤷 yep
Biden is an international embarrassment to the Nation…As for government they are responsible for the mess this country is in, socially, financially and organizationally. They have wreck this Nation more than any enemy has ever done. This is as far as it goes…
Here is a thought experiment for all you gun control advocates:
Implement gun control in Ukraine right now. If it works there, then MAYBE we’ll think about it. Probably not, but MAYBE.
Ukraine is WHY we have a 2nd Amendment, end of debate.
Saving lives comes from teaching good moral behavior as well as right wrong to children. It’s about teaching people at a young age to properly respect fire arms, other people’s right to life, when to defend yourself, that MURDER is WRONG, theft is wrong, forcing your ideals and ways of life on others is WRONG. And so on.. Guns don’t get off the couch and go shoot anyone. People do, people are the problem because morality was removed from society over the past couple of decades. And it was all politically charged to I disarm the people so the gov can flip to Communism. The new “Restrict” bill (the so called TikTok ban) is LOADED with Communist policies/laws. And it targets EVERYONE freedom and homes. Its a Full control of ALL digital communications. You own a router? Not for long, it will be the government that sets the settings. Go read the WHOLE thing for yourself. Citizens with firearms hinder Government over reach AS INTENDED unless they are taken away or restricted down to not remotely strong enough to ensure freedom. Criminals criminal less in areas they believe they might find to much resistance.
Matthew 26:52 KJV. 52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Keep your gun in your house.
