@@SooHooSamaSito it seems the u.s. is incapable of subduing even a small country. Small-arms weaponry is still used in modern warfare because it has some effectiveness. Why do you think that governments want to disarm their citizens? I can tell that you are no expert. Have you ever heard of guerrilla warfare? If the government ever used some of their weapons on the public, the public sentiment would turn against the user's. An evil country will collapse sooner or later.

Stop acting like we need guns when it’s a want thing and it’s disgusting. Guns are so young as far as how long human have been around so to put it on the list of “need is disgraceful. I love guns and I’m a felon and won’t try to get one but after all I’ve seen I can tell it’s a want not need situation.
You are absolutely right. There are studies showing that guns owned for self defense are rarely used for self defense. Vs use in Murders, accidental killings, serious injuries, gang wars, domestic violence, mass school shootings.. the list is long. In sum - MUCH more bad than good
And 9 years later, we are worse than we were before. Inflation is rampant, geopolitical issues abound, mass shootings have multiplied, and we are still mired in a pandemic which spawned unprecedented public mistrust in gov't and public officials. When will everyone accept the tragic worldview that humanity will be suffering all of these issues and more, likely because human nature hasn't changed in thousands of years.
This whole exact massacre repeated 10 years later at Uvalde , Tx. I am a stern 2A supporter . However , I believe that it’s time to revisit the 2A rights and see whether or not it is a root cause for all of these massacres . I am very sad 😞 to say what I just said . However , as a proud gun owner and a parent of a 10 year old girl , I have to start looking very close into this . I NEVER wish to see another mass killing in our country ever again .
I'm not going to elaborate on the possible alternative solutions in this comment but I have heard multiple viable solutions/strong deterrents of mass shootings, that don't involve altering the second amendment. I have a 10 year old as well and I understand what you're feeling.
Unfortunately, nothing will change. Who knows how many more schools, churches, supermarkets, etc. will become killing grounds and the only response will be "thoughts and prayers". Human life has become cheap.

So in Connecticut you can't hunt with a gun on Sundays, but you can use a bow/crossbow because it's quiet. If you were to hunt with a gun and were fortunate to harvest game you might shoot once or twice, but there is no law to keep target shooting quiet on Sundays so folks have to endure the disturbing of the peace by the NRA crowd out to make a point. And they wonder why the majority of people dislike them? You're NOT a good neighbor running 200 rounds through your AR-15 at 9am on Sunday
I think they (NRA) must send out blast texts or emails filling them with fodder about their guns getting confiscated. No civilian needs a weapon that was SPECIFICALLY invented and designed to be used in war by the U.S. Army. No civilian needs weapons that accepts magazines. I don't even think civilians need semi-automatic weapons. I feel perfectly safe with our guns. They are all heirloom long guns, and almost as old as I am (11/68) with one exception. That exception is a one shot, that accepts either a rimmed .45 or a .410 shotgun shell. Why anyone NEEDS a 30 round magazine is absolutely foreign to me. I've been alive for 53 years and I have still not accumulated enough enemies to justify an AR-15. Or anything comparable.
I understand having guns for protection, hunting, and even recreational use…but when you start pulling out military grade weapons-what you need that for?! Who/what you tryna kill?? The terminator?!
The AR-15 pattern rifle is so popular because it is an easy firearm to operate. It has a light recoil. It breaks down for cleaning easier than other types of long guns. Reloading is easier than other long guns making it an ideal self defense firearm.

Honestly, I feel so defeated. I feel like the United States will never get better. Nothing is changing, opinions on gun control is so polarizing, we’re being held hostage by the NRA, and these mass shootings are becoming so common and so prevalent. At first, when you would hear about mass shootings, naturally you grieve for the families and say to yourself, “I really hope that never happens to me or someone I love.” Now… it’s not a matter of I hope this never happens, to “I hope I’m able to find the nearest exit when it does”.

What failed in succession to a child that at young age bring them to that point of hatred toward the world and most importantly not value life. Guns are so enmeshed in our society. But there has been an increase in disenfranchised and isolated people. It's all of it. Wouldn't more reaching out to youth, making mental wellness a priority, meaningful positive relationships in their lives where they see life is to be valued. Would make an absolute difference atleast also as a start. So many young men would not go down a dark road where, they are wanting others to feel pain like they did. And didn't hear them, so we'll be made to hear them then, is what they might be feeling. The political stances are I'll equipped in our modern times. To respond accordingly. We don't need assault weapons to be sold to protect yourself as a responsible gun owner. Who they protecting against. The terminator. And if they say government. Good luck with that if they think a militia would stand up against A government that would wipe out a small country.
I'm tired of knowing there are children forever traumatised by these shootings and knowing our little ones are being killed. America needs to clean up This horrific mess. Government! Do your job!
This is a tragic lookback at 2013. This aired before Pulse, before Las Vegas, before Parkland. Not only did America turn its back on these victims, we then elected a bunch of politicians who profit millions by the gun industry
@@Fister-kw5un You missed my point entirely. Did I even mention assault weapons? The United States is the "gun crazy" country on this planet. The truth hurts doesn't it?

I found this to be very well put together and all the people speaking on both sides to be very articulate and factual which is rare in this debate usually emotions get involved in everybody just spews a bunch of verbal diarrhea. But if you listen closely and just listen to what people say at 12:40 you have a guy up there on stage talking about you know his pro-gun beliefs and all the rest of it and how the government is bordering on tyrannical behavior which I don't even completely disagree with, the guy loses all credibility with me the second he States the president's name and puts his middle name in which is Hussain and we all know exactly why he said that because a lot of Americans relate that name to obviously synonym and all the horror and terror that he created in the middle East so the fact that that guy just has to throw in the middle name when announcing the president's name just speaks volumes to the character of the person. What a complete fool and a child sadly this technique is probably extremely effective

What the heck is wrong with this dam world. I don't understand? Killing little children is horrible. We have to stop selling the dam guns and parents of the suspects are to blame big time.
May I propose that firearms be regulated like cars are supposed to be regulated. Not EVERYONE can drive. You must be a certain age, have a modicum of physical ability, the intellect and judgment to be safe, maintain a safe standard of the vehicle, pass regular testing, and be free of certain legal offenses. Guns should be treated the same. Train, upkeep, qualify, prove by your actions. Failing any of these, no, you don’t own a firearm. Do you give a fully operative tank to a five year old? No. Should an ordinary adult citizen own a flame shooter? No. Want that? Join the military. It’s exceedingly sad that teachers, the lowest paid professionals, in addition to teaching their charges, are also expected to be administrators, parents, EMTs, psychologists, and now, sharpshooters able to engage in special tactics and hand-to-hand combat? Fine. Pay me the combined salaries of these professionals. Where do I sign up?
I mean, we’ve definitely learned. Like I’ve learned that I should zig zag, take a second to really listen to where the gunfire is coming from because in hall ways or open spaces it can sound different, and that the three best responses or run, hide, fight in any particular order.

Until we change our cultural perception and adhesion to guns, we can expect more shootings and more grief. The 2nd Amendment states clearly its purpose, "A well regulated militia, necessary to the security of a free state, the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Contextually written during a time when the "arms" referred to were flintlock rifles that required lighting smoke and oakum to fire. It is time to rewrite the 2nd Amendment to account for advanced technology that we now have and did not exist when it was ratified. No one NEEDS to possess a military grade assault weapon. The shooter at Robb Elementary repeatedly fired on little children, decapitating some and turning others into a mangled lump of blood and flesh. We must change as a species: We have become obscenely selfish and entitled. Banning assault weapons is a must but we need to focus on mental health issues simultaneously. The NRA should go back to teaching firearm safety instead of whipping up rabid ignorance of 'rights,' promoting the misconception that gun owners have more rights than the unarmed. I find it curious that the same people who are willing to criminalize a women's right to choose, to manage her own body, have no interest in protecting children. The hypocrisy is staggering. We can and must do better.
Banning “assault weapons” is a fool’s errand. Too many ambiguities, loopholes, exceptions & work arounds. That would be yet another joke on Americans. ALL semi automatic firearms. They’re FAR closer to auto machine guns than the single shot firearms mentioned in the 2nd. 100 round magazines firing 2,3,4 or more rounds per second? That’s a war weapon causing mass casualties. “Self defense,” my ass! Single-shot firearms only. 1-2 rounds per minute are what the 2nd guarantees. That’s it. Sami auto are military weapons and should be reserved for that use, just like machine guns, SAWs, rocket launchers, Howitzers, tanks, fighter jets & war ships. Let’s get real.
@@dudeonbike800 You made my point. I agree with most of your comments, but the notion that it is impossible to change expresses the apathetic selfishness that enables unstable persons to acquire rapid fire high velocity weapons, who can then walk into a school or grocery store and cut innocents to shreds. Context matters. Imagine seeing someone you love, viciously cut apart and decapitated by a weapon that should never be available to civilians. We have to start somewhere and because the AR-15 has typically been the weapon of choice for mass murderers, it is the logical conclusion that it should be banned from civilian access.
@@jakebredthauer5100 It should be obvious to any thinking human that there have been no legislative changes to our laughable gun laws despite the spike in random mass shootings. The dead and grieving survivors have not only been ignored, but vilified by GOP afraid of losing NRA funding. That is placing the right to own a gun above the unarmed, murdered victims' right to live. Gun ownership is a priviledge that should require testing & licensing and proof of insurance. Just like driving a car. Have a great day.
I see no inconsistency between the right to own a weapon and the right to not be murdered. One of the rights does not need to be subordinated to the other. Both rights can exist simultaneously. Having a weapon does not require one to murder anyone. Being murdered by someone is already illegal. Another example of your bad logic is when you call gun ownership a right and then later you call it a privilege. Gun ownership cannot be both a right and a privilege at the same time. Changing from one to the other would be a fundamental shift in power distribution. It is better if power is more distributed compared with power being concentrated in the hands of a few. I oppose your plan due to its adverse effects. These adverse effects were never even mentioned in your discourse, that I could see. A thinking person? I presume I am.

I actually feel sorry for the gun owners who clutch their guns like security blankets. Ok, have guns for hunting or target practice because it's "fun." As to "protection," guns, if they are used at all in the home or a vehicle, often end being used on someone in the family, on a friend/neighbor/associate or in a suicide.
America's 2nd Amendment was drafted in a different era of gun manufacturing. Today's guns are not reflective of the 2nd Amendment era, Today's guns are more volatile and capable of mass carnage than their predecessors.

BT&CP: I respectfully disagree with you, in the Fall of 1789 when the 2nd amendment was first drafted there already was insight into the future of gun manufacturing. About 150 years before the first repeating firearms were brought into military service in Denmark.There is a lack of technical knowledge or historical context in your comment BT&CP but, that's a common narrative, perhaps its better to appeal on moral or emotional grounds.
My belief FRONTLINE is amazing journalism, Never do I hear anything that could closely be misconstrued as a lie or untruthful. On the Gun control issue, It is "my personal opinion" That Yes we do have a right to bare arms, to protect our families and defend against attackers AS the constitution states. It is NOT the legal, legitimate or responsible gun owner that we need to target, but a control on the purchasing of a fire arm. It takes far more time to adopt a child than it takes to get a permit to own a firearm, Why? It takes far more testing and scrutiny to get a drivers permit, than it takes to get a permit to own a firearm, WHY? It takes far more time for a business to get a liquor license to sell liquor, than it takes to get a permit to own a firearm. WHY? I am sure I will hear a flood of off the top comments in every direction, but the fact of the matter is "WE" as the people of this FREE land need to find a common ground soon. Again it is NOT the responsible gun owners that is to burden the blame for the mass shootings, It is the lack of control on the Guns/weapons that are available to "Anyone" at anytime! GOD bless our great nation, even under these deplorable conditions!

Also in some countries in EU, you have to undergo several psychological evaluations to have a permit, even more to own a gun in your house, even more if you have family/kids and the checks are done to the extent that they can prosecute the person that validated the permit for a crazy dudes! Plus owning a gun without a permit is as serious as it gets! Americans think they need weapons for protection, but nobody s attacking them!
