If you can't sit through a video that's a little under 12 minutes then please see yourself out, I think it's pointless for people to comment about a video they don't watch.
And no, I am not a right winger. I will post an image below describing how I feel about my political position.
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.
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.
That's the amount of gun control studies that were actually worth a damn, most studies that are referenced are garbage. Oh and just so you know the first link wants me to pay money so I can't reach shit on that.
Sorry about the first link it didn't asked me to pay for it.
The second link however has exactly the date he references. He said it himself that the date could have erros because it puts I believe it was Norway or Denmark so high even a single incident because it had so many deaths. He says this himself. But he doesn't offer a solution. The article of the second link also talks about this. Exactly the same example. And then offers a solution and makes the data more accurate. After that the US is number one.
That article simply follows after what he said. But don't take this as a major insult to your country. Take it as an insult to him because he is giving half information.
Every country has its problems. The US has this one, more than anyone else, but it also happens in other countries. Again not an insult to the country. I don't think anyone disagrees that "something" should be done to try and reduce the occurrences of mass shootings.
That is your constitution and I get it why it was done at the time. It was to protect citizens from the government.
But right now the people are threatening each other. Have guns, but only give them to the sane and capable ones. Doesn't sound like a good idea? You can still have guns.
If I didn't care about the 2A then I'd copy Switzerland.
Otherwise I'd get money out of politics and crack down HARD on the oligarchs. With them gone the country can get better and people won't be desperate as often.
Mental health improves when minimum wage and healthcare are actually there. America needs a lot of wide sweeping changes.
The work day could be 4 hours a day too just fine.
So end the greed and get better mental healthcare. That also comes with people having a decent living wage. That would help. I will also add education. Better incentives to education. Literally the best counties to live in are also the ones with highest average school degree.
I listed a lot of the ways John Lott manipulated statistics to mislead before. I'd be interested to see how the numbers would be if they were brought up to date. Norway's only mass shooting and the Paris terrorist attack (which should never have been in there in the first place) are a long time ago, now. Does Europe have more mass shootings than the USA? ↗
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"
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.
Oh, and he finishes up with "you cannot solve a problem by misrepresenting", which is rich, considering the whole "they're dissing everyone who prays for the victims" schtick.
