    You can’t add a background check for all firearm purchases when there is already one in place and being Implemented. FAKE NEWS.



  2. David Earl-Graef on March 22, 2023 at 2:41 am

    The term assault has nothing to with the design of the weapon as the propagandists like want you to believe. They are liars and thieves. It has more to do with how any weapon is used. Any object can be used to commit an assault even a hammer or a knife. On the other hand a fully automatic weapon if used for defense is a defense weapon even if it is black and looks scary. The definition is based solely on how the weapon is used. Please wake up people. I hate liars.

    yeah and 96% of your viewers disliked this video LOL



  4. liza wildman on March 22, 2023 at 2:42 am

    that ban did not work at all



  5. Eliminator on March 22, 2023 at 2:43 am

    Screw gun control. There’s no where in the world where your right to own and purchase firearms is so protected. These red-flag laws are really cutting into these protections though.



  6. Chase on March 22, 2023 at 2:43 am

    You and what army liberals



  7. Russell on March 22, 2023 at 2:45 am

    No such thing as military assault weapons or hi-cap magazines. Gun Grabbers get over it.



  8. Kyle Carpenter on March 22, 2023 at 2:45 am

    Disarm america??? That would be like trying to fill the ocean in with dirt…goodluck!!!



  9. The Entropy of Thought on March 22, 2023 at 2:45 am

    SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. I can’t wait to see these losers do what they do best in 2020. We should be repealing current gun control legislation, not discussing the further degredation of our rights and responsibilities as American citizens. We already have universal background checks, so it’s great to see the news lying to us again. It’s no wonder no one trusts the MSM. When you’re lying to the people in an effort to remove their rights, how can you possibly claim not to be their enemy? In the past i might have said that i support the idea of background checks, but with the way things are going i think even that should be repealed. Everyone should be armed, anyone one who opposes that fundamental human right should be charged with treason.



  10. Jack J on March 22, 2023 at 2:45 am

    I don’t think the government would pass a background check.



  11. Maverick Lane on March 22, 2023 at 2:45 am

    Any gun laws which subvert and pervert the second amendment of the Bill of Rights is null and void, including the gestapo red flag law which also violated the fifth amendment.



  12. Howard Roark on March 22, 2023 at 2:47 am

    The problem is, the average person just doesn’t know much about guns, gun laws or firearm related statistics. You’re asking people for their opinion on a subject they have almost zero knowledge about.
    Would you ask your car mechanic about heart surgery ? Or a doctor about a transmition repair ? No…
    When you ask the actual gun experts, they have the real solutions but … the media never ask because the real solutions don’t fit the Democrat narrative.



  13. Blue Line Unlimited Edition - Hawaii on March 22, 2023 at 2:50 am

    Most mass shootings involve hand guns… these tyrants are going after the scary stuff first, then will continue to strip everything from us until there is nothing left of the Second Amendment… wake up! This is exactly what happened in Germany prior to the Nazi regime! Have we not learned from history?!



  14. andy. G. on March 22, 2023 at 2:52 am

    The Las Vegas shooting was an imperial psy op designed to disarm Americans so the gun control advocates are psychotic killers



  15. Scot Clifton on March 22, 2023 at 2:55 am

    Trump for 2020 you can’t lose



  16. 4catsnow on March 22, 2023 at 2:55 am

    Doubled edged problem….A NICS system that can’t detect a non adjudicated nut job trying to buy a gun,,,and the 2nd Amendment shielding legal, responsible gun owners.



  17. Roboman on March 22, 2023 at 2:57 am

    Communist traitors want to disarm law abiding normal people to subject them to tyranny and rob them and leave them defenseless. No thanks, vote right is only option at this point. As a Jew I believe that all humans have a divine right to self protection, if anything the only laws that should be changed are unbanning automatics, Nfa items, brass knuckles, ballistic knives, and legalizing everything for both open and conceal carry. A free person is an armed person, before the holocaust they came and took everyone guns. This move is only done by bad guy, good guys want other good guys armed!



  18. Chimp Alert on March 22, 2023 at 2:59 am

    Nothing Biden says has any more legitimacy than anything Charles Manson says. They are both crazed criminals.



  19. Daniel Ruzzo on March 22, 2023 at 2:59 am

    Im a white man identifying as a black woman and my ar15 identifys as my kid. So just like the illegal immigrants swarming our border you must leave us alone or your a white supremecist Mr Biden.



  20. Kham Yang on March 22, 2023 at 3:00 am

    wtf is a military style assault weapon?



  21. 11B Retired on March 22, 2023 at 3:00 am

    98% of Democrats and Rino Republicans are anti-2nd Amendment….HeII many of them hate the U.S. Constitution.



  22. 11B Retired on March 22, 2023 at 3:04 am

    Their is no such thing called Assault Weapons". That is a made up term used by anti-gun activists and politicians. The Military never use the term "Assault Weapons". If you want me to turn in my AR-15s, you must first get all the criminals, police, politicians and their bodyguards to turn in their weapons of war. Do we have a Deal? If not, I will keep my AR-15s! Now get off my lawn!!



  23. Kevin S on March 22, 2023 at 3:04 am

    Democrats are so dumb is hurt why the not save the money for 2020 and stay home because the will lose so bad I know so many democrats at work who vote 2020 for republicans lol because the not learn out of mistake Americans love there guns long story short you will lose so bad 2020 and you deserve it



  24. Apm91 on March 22, 2023 at 3:05 am

    Pink?



  25. Daniel Ruzzo on March 22, 2023 at 3:09 am

    Let me get this straight democrats want to take away our ar15s. Under the disguise its to make streets safe. The same democrats that persecute us calling us white supremecists and cult members that should be put in reeducation camps. Who will fight Tyrrany with a shotgun vs a military issued assult rifle. No theres nothing sketchy about that. No nefarious intentions im sure.



  26. Mark Denenberg on March 22, 2023 at 3:11 am

    The Dems heads must be spinning now that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case on carrying out side the home.



  27. haggaid900 on March 22, 2023 at 3:11 am

    All of these ideas are infringements on our 2nd Amendment #2A.



  28. jimmy johnson on March 22, 2023 at 3:14 am

    We already have a computer background check if you go into a gun store or a gun show and buy a gun. What these commie rats are trying to do is create a gun registry, where they control all gun transfers. For instance, if your grandfather gives you a gun, he will be required to pay for a criminal background check on you and that gun’s serial number will then be registered in your name. Don’t be fooled by their BS, this is a gun registry disguised as a universal background check. If you try to sell a gun to your buddy, you will be breaking the law unless you do a background check before selling it. You will be paying a transfer fee or tax to the government too, along with the cost of running the background check. Screw their gun control. Where in the constitution does it say "The right to bear arms, only if you first submit to a government background check and get their permission"?



  29. Tim Rhodenizer on March 22, 2023 at 3:15 am

    Most of all gun violence is with a hand gun stop with the lies



  30. MyAbbaYAH on March 22, 2023 at 3:17 am

    Are they really gonna change anything. Are they????



  31. nitrous07me on March 22, 2023 at 3:17 am

    Why do they keep saying “assault weapons”? Any gun can be deadly



  32. Shoeless b on March 22, 2023 at 3:18 am

    So in other words, some Constitutional rights don’t count.



  33. ronbotex on March 22, 2023 at 3:19 am

    Didn’t you tell us Hillary would win in a landslide? I don’t believe any of your polling. You use fake polls a weapon.



  34. SS Robs on March 22, 2023 at 3:21 am

    ATTENTION GUN ILLITERATE PEOPLE:

    "Assault weapon" is a useless made up term that just describes cosmetic differences. It actually was specifically designed to scare people like yourself. There are no real difference between a firearm that can be considered an "assault weapon" and one that is not, especially in terms if it’s lethality. ACTUAL military assault RIFLES are already so heavily restricted they’re essentially illegal altogether now. Nearly no one has access to fully automatic weapons in the US and they’re almost never used in crimes. And even rifles in general are used in less than 2% of gun violence.

    The reason most of you lose this debate is by default because you flatout refuse to know about the thing you’d like to regulate and rely solely on emtions. Stop being so willfully and extremely ignorant to the subject and maybe you could really make a change for the better.



  35. gun control is using both hands on March 22, 2023 at 3:21 am

    We are getting ready to see the Democratic party disappear. Gun control is political suicide.



  36. Hermit Recluse on March 22, 2023 at 3:22 am

    State ran media



  37. Knuckle_Bump on March 22, 2023 at 3:22 am

    They can write all the laws they want. However, it takes someone with a gun to enforce them. Gun-right advocates need to petition both police chiefs and sheriffs not to enforce these unconstitutional laws.



  38. Terry Ditterline on March 22, 2023 at 3:24 am

    Look,s like utube is doing it,s best to hide the truth.



  39. K&P Channel on March 22, 2023 at 3:25 am

    Americans get your priorities right. You’re dumb government in Washington has spent billions on the TSA and aircraft security with no concrete results. Meanwhile our schools Nationwide are open shooting Galleries and not a peep unbelievable



  40. Tiffany Chau on March 22, 2023 at 3:25 am

    Ranked #6 candidate Andrew Yang (who wasn’t mentioned in this video) also has a position to create a common sense licensing policy, requiring investment and safety precautions. He wants to ban the manufacture, sale, and transfer of weapons and accessories that make it easier for individuals to commit mass shootings. Also he wants to enhance mental health resources available to people who need help and provide deescalation training and mental health professionals to law enforcement agencies to prevent interactions from becoming deadly.



  41. BlackPhillip on March 22, 2023 at 3:29 am

    Gun *CONTROL* is Jim Crow for *EVERYONE.*



  42. wolf skull on March 22, 2023 at 3:29 am

    How would ban gun help if you ban them your only Hurting good citizen



  43. carlos h on March 22, 2023 at 3:29 am

    Pos biden



  44. Timm on March 22, 2023 at 3:30 am

    I think Ben Shapiro put it very well when he explained why we should still have the right to own a semi automatic assault rifle. Too protect us from a tyrannical government turning on its own people. Which has happened in history before. Hitter for example. If they succeed in making it illegal to own one and most people only having a pistol, how well can we defend ourselves from a government who has heavy artillery? And I know a lot of people say they wouldn’t do such a thing, but eventually with enough power and money it will end up corrupting them and they very well could. Especially if they get more greedy and want things we don’t and we don’t see eye to eye with them, they will just use force.



  45. Wolf the Mandalorian on March 22, 2023 at 3:30 am

    Military style? Looks like something but doesn’t work the same. You know no army in the workd uses an AR15. Right ?



  46. Tim Rhodenizer on March 22, 2023 at 3:32 am

    To bad I can’t actually say how I feel tho



  47. Last Time on March 22, 2023 at 3:34 am

    While the democrats hide behind the military, a fence, and national guard they want to restrict the people they represent, from protecting themselves!! Only a fool would push the American people after a stolen election!!!



  48. glizzard on March 22, 2023 at 3:36 am

    Where is lee Garvey Oswald when you need him?



  49. Dan Gunn on March 22, 2023 at 3:36 am

    If you are a democrat gun owner and don’t want to lose your gun rights change your voter registration to republican as soon as possible.



  50. Alpha74SF5 on March 22, 2023 at 3:37 am

    I do not personally know anyone that wants any of these policies for gun contol including expanding background checks. Me thinks your full of the poo poo news man.
