If the person giving you toughts and prayers is also the one preventing action to be taken... Then yes they can shove it.
The moment to act? This got to be a joke. How many times did this happened? Did anyone did anything so far? Ther eyou go.
The complaint is that nothing was done, nothing is being done and we know nothing will be done... again.
Yes problems are solved by doing something. Try doing nothing and you will see the difference. But he knows that when people say something they do mean "something that will solve this particular problem." He knows that, but he is trying to paint others as irrational by using semantics to misconstrue what they are saying.
Yes people withou guns kill people, but funny enough no one with a knife ever went to a group of people and killed so many so fast. Also much easy to stop, restrain and even to defend against.
Yes this happens in other countries... much much MUCH less. Even in some of the countries that have some of the biggest gun per capita don't come close to the number of shooting per capita that the US has.
I was going to say that most shooting he is talking about is gang related, he said it first. Gang shootings that also happen in the US mind you. E
Another fun thing, in Europe guns are legal in some countires. And on the ones that they are, there are no school shootings and almost no murders with them. Why? Extensive background check, mandatory renew of the licence and phycological tests.
What he is saying is a lie.

Literally every country he just said has less deaths caused by guns per 100000 people that the US.
Here is a perfect article. It has the data he mentions and then explain why it is not correct. Even has by the same order he listed!

Then they give better data, ALSO PER CAPITA (screw that excuse), and yes the US is number one.
The final study he presented I don't know, but it was made in the US about the US not being the worst regarding gun violence so... I will believe my sources.
He's right. How refreshing it is when someone looks at the issue honestly and analytically.
Gun control advocates use emotionalism to accomplish their agenda. And their agenda is not to save lives. It's to ban the public's access to guns to the greatest extent possible.
But if one looks at actual facts, the gun control logic makes no sense.

"Praying is doing something". Yes, it's talking to yourself. They're not complaining about your average man in the street sending thoughts and prayers, they're complaining about people with the power to do something who are praying instead. Politicians could come together and amend the constitution, or just define exactly what is required to be part of the militia. That argument is a clear straw man.
"Just do something". Yes. Like when gangsters were using tommy guns on the streets of 1930s America, the government passed laws to control access to them. Practically nobody claimed it was unconstitutional, and the SCOTUS of the time unanimously declared that it was not when it did come before them.
"people without guns kill people people with guns kill people the common denominator here is what people"
People without guns do not kill as many people as people with guns. They make it easier.
"this is a very common claim the united states is unique across the entire world in this respect"
To paraphrase Bill Clinton: it's the frequency, stupid! Also the fact that they're usually without purpose. Terrorists have a political goal, criminals have criminal goals, US mass shooters just want to be famous. They often have, I read, Narcissistic (and another one I forget the name of) personality disorders, which aren't mental illnesses.
Then he makes out his detractors are racist for not considering the poorest countries in the world. But India and China don't have this problem, either, and that's a third of the world's population right there.
"a ranking of annual death rate per million from mass shootings in north america and Europe according to world population review puts us at number behind czech republic belgium finland switzerland slovakia albania macedonia france serbia norway"
I found this, entitled "Mass Shootings by Country 2022"
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/mass-shootings-by-country
Only that's not true. Otherwise Norway would be zero, as it has been for all but one of the last 70 or more years. The per capita argument is also bogus because that's the "per million" part of deaths per million.
That's nearly 10 minutes in, and I'm bored now.
Matt is just doing a bit of shitty gaslighting himself.
They get paid to make sanitized views on talk shows and Matt is getting paid to do the same.
Trying to claim he has "the measure" is the epitome of pigheaded arrogance.
Matt walsh is always refreshing!
TL;DW
He's 100% correct.
