    Republicans will always side with the NRA because money is more important then people. Get use to mass killings every where. No one will ever be safe as long as Republicans are in charge.

    People need to understand that banning guns wont change a dang THING why? Just because guns are illegal doesn’t mean that very bad people aren’t going to just stop getting guns but think about it if someone broke into your house if guns are illegal you don’t have anything to protect yourself or your family with. It’s crazy how our own president oh wait. I just remembered we don’t have a president anymore because our current “president” is working more on taking away money and rights from the American people and you can go on and on about how we need to stop shooters and I agree on that but if you look at the simple facts you will understand that is a horrible option to stop them

    Promoting violence to kids makes violent adults. UFC/MMA gladiator blood sport. Gore entertainment that makes someone being dismembered entertaining. Only a nation of monsters would think this is entertaining. Porn is everywhere and objectifies women. The profanity pig music of Rap, Gangsta Rap, and Hip-Hop, glorify crime, illiteracy, and have an infantilizing effect on the listeners. The ‘rappers’ have infant names and infant costumes.
    Put this all together will the eterna-victimhood of the oppressed poor people, that are poor because of their own actions, and crime will skyrocket. Having the liberal democrats pandering to these groups for their votes amplifies the numbers. Throw in illegals and welfare rats and you have millions of malcontents with a cause. Stalin’s useful idiots, Mussolini’s Black Shirts, Hitler’s Brown Shirts, America’s wokes. All formed to do one thing, destroy the social structure of their nations to bring on a totalitarian lockdown police state.

    Germany: The nation’s liberalism allowed the Satanic Roman Harlot’s Thule Society to create the Nazi party and bring in an individual that opens himself to demonic possession-Adolf Hitler.
    America: A nation begun by the satanic Roman Harlot’s Freemasonry, advancing the satanic agenda via its liberalistic dedications.

    Germany: Compiling a list of ‘Enemies of the State’.
    America: Compiling a list of ‘Domestic Terrorist Suspects’

    Germany: Building an army of dudes to destroy the German Republic called the SA brown shirts. Having its army of assassins (Jesuits) as their overlords in the SS.
    America: Same. LGBTQ, Antifa, SJW, Trans. The demonic spirit of Liberalism (Isaiah 32 KJV) powering this woke ‘movement’ to destroy the American Republic. Making zeroes think they are heroes.

    Germany: Burning of the Reichstag parliament building to scare the people.
    America: Burning the World Trade Centers buildings to scare the people.

    Germany: Passing the Enabling Act to suspend the rights, freedoms, and liberties of the people. Suspending the Writ of Habeas Corpus (Due process of law).
    America: Passing the Patriot Act to do the same.

    Germany: Creating The Department of Homeland Security to end the German Republic.
    America: DHS for the same purpose.

    Germany: Having in place an organization that could arrest, torture, imprison for life, execute anyone who was an enemy of the state. Gestapo.
    America: The DHS, CIA, FBI, Patriot Act, NDAA = Gestapo architecture.

    Germany: The state media controlling all information.
    America: Same.

    Germany: Executed all persons on the ‘Enemies of the State’ list to bring total power to the Nazis in what was called the ‘Night of the Long Knives’.
    America: …………………coming soon.

    Biden signed gun control legislation last year and an executive order in March…what was the effect?? Absolutely nothing, Democrats are worthless.

    Why weren’t they not talking about banning airplanes when 2001 terrorist attack was the biggest Mass murder? What about banning pressure cookers or automobiles and trucks or nice are fertilizer that can make bombs? Crooked media is disgusting they never hold people accountable and only talk about banning guns



  10. Random short vibes. on July 11, 2023 at 5:15 am

    Why they all holding hands at the start?



  11. Thomas Knight on July 11, 2023 at 5:16 am

    Talk more about mental health and how kids are raised this woman obviously had mental illness thinking they were a boy yet people Just Praise mental illness even have pride parades about it instead of helping people



  14. Enilssab on July 11, 2023 at 5:19 am

    Buy more guns. Buy more AR15s before they ban them. Pass them down to the next generation.



  15. Nynke Bouma on July 11, 2023 at 5:19 am

    And somehow people still consider America to be a first-world country.



  16. Pilot X on July 11, 2023 at 5:19 am

    Learn from new Zealand how they changed their gun laws after one mass shooting



  17. DAYMASTERAN on July 11, 2023 at 5:20 am

    my question is u don’t see mass shootings in courthouses,airports,military compounds,police stations,stadiums,etc why because they have arm security so why do democrats keep saying take the guns why wont they say shools must have security

    News reporters lie never was any school shooting s musim Nazi leaders lying to the public about their pretty prison bar girl contests



  22. TSimo113 on July 11, 2023 at 5:23 am

    Gun banners don’t want to debate, they just want to ban guns



  23. Pudgester95 on July 11, 2023 at 5:24 am

    That politician was like “we homeschool our kid, so school shootings are not our problem “



  24. cromanxx1 on July 11, 2023 at 5:25 am

    The solution to school shootings is to post police officers to not only patrol school zones but develop a rapport with students and school administrators. Teachers are trained to educate, they are not trained tactical combatants. Advocating for armed teachers only sells more guns and can greatly cause confusion in a life threatening situation.



  25. Bobby Pantea on July 11, 2023 at 5:26 am

    Wow, people don’t seem to get it..if someone really wants to get a gun, they will no matter the dumb laws, this will hurt more law-abiding citizens who own a gun legally. If I want to own a gun to protect myself, I have a right to get a license and own a gun and use it just properly like any other tool. The people who commit these killings with guns have mental issues, sadly.. but true.



  26. Speirs Rhee on July 11, 2023 at 5:29 am

    Sad but stupid.. americans are trading freedome of carring guns with mass death of children.. it became the routin of everyday…why are americans so stupid like that??



  27. ricks_life on July 11, 2023 at 5:30 am

    You will never stop prople from hetting there hands on guns. Gun laws will not fit the issue. Come on, common sense here. Dont take a rocket scientist to see that. But arming some teachers the right way is a good start for sure. But laws wont fix this. But i am very sad about what happend. Its a shame.



  28. Doodle Ng on July 11, 2023 at 5:31 am

    Woke cause mental health into children. And then blame guns. Grow up guns keep freedoms in order! What about telling children they are confused about their gender and could transition. Messing children minds.



  29. T Bone on July 11, 2023 at 5:32 am

    How come the authorities haven’t released this idiot’s Manifesto? what are they hiding? It’s not a gun problem it’s an idiot problem. Just like the drunk drivers and cars we’re not Banning cars.😂



  30. Joshua Robins on July 11, 2023 at 5:33 am

    It’s the guns fault not the shooter.



  31. Magic Barbapapa on July 11, 2023 at 5:35 am

    Mass shooting happens in Ukraine, with all do respect to what phrase "mass shooting" used to mean… it is no more safe world even in US. Green Soldiers from China? Like in Crimea 2014 , first unimagined, than what can you do? They say not our soldiers, end of story and people wind up DEAD to "Aliens". We all knew they were russian soldiers in Crimea, yet… "we" did nothing.



  32. How About on July 11, 2023 at 5:37 am

    From Australia: 1945 USA Won the war in the Pacific (After profetering off the lend lease programme). 1969 Put a man on the moon. 2020 Can’t hold an election that is respected or implement reasonable gun control measures. WTF? Only thing I worry about when I drop my kids off at school is that they have their lunches and hats!



  33. magic cheeseball on July 11, 2023 at 5:42 am

    There is no debate it’s because of the propaganda news. They never talk about the people who shoot the guns it’s always the guns. Guns will never be bandits in the Constitution why even bring it up talk about why people are doing this that’s the solution. Media is disgusting using people’s lives for their communist agenda



  34. Magic Barbapapa on July 11, 2023 at 5:43 am

    Ukraine – Russia proves that nowadays, any countries responsible citizens (in USA so called militia for example) are center point of countries survival. Who wants to disarm common citizens after 250 years in USA !?



  35. PaTha Pongpradith on July 11, 2023 at 5:44 am

    More and more we see law of Karmar happenned in America …spend budget for outside war…. more and more civil war in every states…. hope we don’t loose the crown of N°1 Country of the world….😢😢😢



  36. Ivan singh on July 11, 2023 at 5:44 am

    Americans are so dumb 😂 any guy can go and buy a assault weapon no wonder so many people are dying. Such a logical and basic thing to disallow assault weapons and they can’t do it lol. Learn from other countries like India which has extremely extremely low gun related deaths because assault weapons are not allowed for sale and also for most of Europe.



  37. MrCormacw1 on July 11, 2023 at 5:44 am

    Americans 🙄it’s nearly unbearable to watch at this stage …How every parent is not out protesting is mesmerising…completely stupid …a joke



  38. Leonard Urban on July 11, 2023 at 5:47 am

    Oh, yes– punish the innocent because killing the guilty somehow isn’t enough…



  39. J Johnston on July 11, 2023 at 5:51 am

    I read something important the other day: "This sentiment from the Democrats = ‘How many children have to die before you agree to give up your guns?’ = is not just their rhetorical question…it’s their threat."



  40. Acm V on July 11, 2023 at 5:51 am

    The ACTUAL facts about gun violence in America There are about 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, this number is not disputed.
    (1) U.S. population 328 million as of January 2018.
    (2) Do the math: 0.00915% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. 9:42 AM 25 Mar 21 Statistically speaking, this is insignificant. It’s not even a rounding error. What is not insignificant, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths: 22,938 (76%) are by suicide which can’t be prevented by gun laws are by law enforcement, thus not relevant to • Gun Control discussion. (4) 489 (2%) are accidental (5) So no, "gun violence" isn’t 30,000 annually, but rather 5,577… 0.0017% of the population. Still too many? Let’s look at location: 298 (5%) – St Louis, MO (6) 327 (6%) – Detroit, MI (6) 328 (6%) – Baltimore, MD (6) 764 (14%) – Chicago, IL (6) That’s over 30% of all gun crime. In just 4 cities. This leaves 3,856 for for everywhere else in America… about 77 deaths per state. Obviously some States have higher rates than others Yes, 5,577 is absolutely horrific, but let’s think for a minute… But what about other deaths each year? 70,000+ die from a drug overdose (7) 49,000 people die per year from the flu (8) 37,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities (9) Now it gets interesting: 250,000+ people die each year from preventable medical errors. (10) You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital! 610,000 people die per year from heart disease (11) Even a decrease in cardiac deaths would save about twice the number of lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides. Simple, easily preventable, 10% reductions! We don’t have a gun problem… We have a political agenda and media sensationalism problem. -sources- 21 1.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr… 2.everytownresearch.org/firearm-suicid… 3.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nham… 4.washingtonpost.com/graphics/natio… 5.

    The cause is ownership of the republican party by the NRA a terrorist organization. They have flooded the country with weapons . The Republicans are criminally responsible.



  42. Magic Barbapapa on July 11, 2023 at 5:54 am

    Latest US Senat hearings:
    Destroying American lives at wish, but themselves – incompetent, failing to employ own regulations.
    ATFs "0 tolerance" (seem even illegal) policy destroys businesses and family-business people lives .
    Multiyear exemplary citizens licenses are being revoked, yet even at the same time(!), ATF employees losing guns left and right for last 16 years!!! OFTEN TO CRIMINALS !!! due to not implementing their own rules and regulations as its associates and employees please.

    People kill people not guns, that individual had mental issues and the LGBTQ. have the nerve to blame society as if that individual did not have a the choice not to kill children.

AMERICA HAS A BAD SICKNESS / ADDICTION TO GUNS. ****we must OUTLAW AUTOMATIC WEAPONS FOR CIVILIANS, ESPECIALLY IN THESE INSANE STATES.
