    1. Read it, the entire 2nd Amendment, and decide if it applies today, considering that we no longer require individuals to be armed so they can be called up to militia service as it was upon our founding, when we had no standing army, as we do now: “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.” So, does America Constitutionally need individuals to own guns today? I don’t think so. Now look at the stats from other countries. Now look at suicide from guns in America. If you still defend individual gun ownership, you are irrational.

  1. The Supreme Court promised they will be going for more
    Now we can see
    They’re coming for our lives.
    We’re in trouble

    1. @Poopdeck Pappy So. Our rights are handed down from god. Since there is no such thing as god, there are no valid rights. Do I have that correct?
      And I suppose you worship Allah? Is that right?

    1. @GhostTrain What about all the people who committed mass murderers who wernt waiting to be sentenced?

    2. @lucien poulard no and the fact you think that’s some reasonable question to ask is the problem

  2. All I know is that I’m done with any type of crowd, shop first thing in the morning and I’m done.

    1. It is paradise compared to Cuba, where I came from.
      And how can you explain that every year more legal and illegal immigrants come to America….a lot more than the ones entering all other countries combined? ….are those immigrants suicidal?

  3. Yet here we are,,relaxing gun laws,, the courts making it easier to carry, what do you expect! 🤔

    1. @News Now Adirondacks Redux By the way I do read biographies and autobiographies on Wyatt Earrp etc. And I’ve been to Tombstone. They will verify that only law enforcement was allowed to carry arms within the city limits or town. Alcohol and guns weren’t a good mix even back then.

  4. The exact reason i didnt go out for any fireworks displays….people are mad and crazy and armed.

  5. Idk why anyone thought it was a “happy 4th of July” in the first place.. what exactly were they celebrating? The only one on point was the shooter doing the American thing

    1. you want to spend the day in your basement , go ahead. The rest of us will enjoy our holiday

  6. Thank you for the right to bear arms…  As far as guns…. The right to be armed was given during a time when it was one shot reload …… Shoot…reload…. The founders left us hanging on a few things concerning equal rights.. Minorities and Women people of Color or those who did not conform sexually. maybe as with this fight for equality that has made us a better nation….well the founders minds were on the one shooters they had . You know there has never been a mass Killing by one person without an automatic weapon or bomb….. Its why citizens are not allowed to have bombs.. I really don’t think guns in public shows support for law enforcement…and the founders never meant for the average citizen. to have a weapon that could kill 30 people Before they reloaded again…you think they ever envisioned something worse than bombs that could cause mass death….I am not against hunting weapons or handguns for home protection…. But I dont live in the wild west. …there was a time that law enforcement showed up and the bad guy is the one with a gun…. people who carry guns in public Should. need liability insurance to cover costs of anyone being harmed with that weapon…. And your freedom of Speech should be regulated……. Threatening others or being hateful Should be a crime if you have a weapon on you…
    .my freedom to feel safe. is infringed upon if people have guns in public..

    1. @Kiana Ingram I am reporting for harassment and hateful speech as I feel targeted by people Spamming me from this channel…. This one video and this copy paste for a video I find personally offensive just due to the harassment factor….

  7. Message from Ted Cruz: “They should have had only one way in and one way out.”
    That is all.

    1. As if we haven’t heard the gun control myths many, many times before. I’ll keep my constitutional right to self-defense. You shouldn’t. You should definitely remain defenseless.

    2. @1PandaArmy4777 Like I said, I wasn’t replying to you. Not sure why you’re all riled up? Do you want to explain yourself? Do you want to talk about the guns you own? The holster you use? What is it that you’re on about? Be specific.

  8. So much for “it takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun”. Both these guys had guns.

    1. @Jaye Williams should 10 year old girls be forced to rip their body apart giving birth, after being raped by a family member? If you say yes (and are against abortion) then I’m not sure you are in a position to judge.

    2. @TheHate FuLL1 Yes it did, but after two good guys with guns where hurt. So my statement still stands. These good guys could have been killed as easily as injured and the adage of a good guy with a gun will stop a bad guy with a gun is true if you are prepared to accept casualties before the good guys do their jobs. Or as in Uvalde it was too late for 21 people

    3. @Basil Kearsley facts don’t care about your feelings quit living in hyperbole time to check back in with reality buddy

  9. I’m Japanese and I’m really shocked this news. It’s hard to give up using firearms completely, but keeping people from these risks is much more important than any other.

    1. Suicide rates are 14.2 people per 100,000 in the us as of 2019. In Japan they are 16.0 per 100 000 people 2019. We have a murder issue, but Japan has a suicide issue. Both countries are “crazy”!

    2. I was there last night with my family. I thought there were bombs or gunfire going off because the fireworks began as soon as people got word of trouble and began to run. It was like a horror movie. I’ve never felt more fear. we felt like we were running from death.

  10. Friend of mine (she survived) was one of the many shot during yesterday’s Highland Park, IL parade tragedy too…
    ❤from Chicago to the 2 officers and especially mayor for speaking facts regarding America’s gun laws.
