The Truth About Gun Control 

Wow! So EVERY TIME a group has tried to commit genocide or oppress another group, they try to take the victims weapons away first... That so interesting. I would never have guessed! There must be some deep and profound connection there that I've previously missed...

Long live the 2nd Amendment and law abiding gun owners!!!

Yep, and history is repeating itself once again.

If you think youre not already being ruled from the above.. Well.. wouldnt know what to tell you.

The true purpose of fun control is to enhance government's ability to act tyranically.

Citizens with CCW permits in the US hardly commit crime its in the 1-2% of all permit owners. That's a high estimate btw. I think it was less than 1%

I hate that people keep comparing the UK to America. Back when the UK and America had the same gun control, America's violent crime rate was more than 10 times higher than the UK's. Since the gun, the UK's has gone considerably up while America's has stayed relatively stagnant. In comparison, the UK's violent crime rate shot up.

I thought the last point was especially poignant. Are we Citizens, or are we Subjects?

Hear Hear or TX. Seems to be the last few states that believe the 2nd Amendment is a Right not a Privilege.

I liked the videos where the guy drew on the whiteboard, rather than the new use of AfterEffects. But good video anyway!

In order to insure freedom, the general population MUST be armed with weapons at least as lethal as those carried by police and members of the armed forces! Moltke

I agree with you. But everybody has to make employee cuts now days.

MOVE TO AIRZONA

@1:53, can anybody identify this decision by congress to ban firearms registration? My searches are not turning up anything. What bill or resolution is this mention referring to? And 2 minutes later, I found it: "Property Requisition of Act of 1941"

The dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson is Justice Clarence Thomas's most favorite dissenting opinion. To him it represents the timeless principles that this country is based upon even in the fact of popular opinion to the contrary.

I think Criminal tyrant (0:45) is an overstatement but otherwise a very well put together video, thx.

You know, I have difficulty taking the "to defend against tyranny" position seriously when nobody stands up when the 1st amendment rights get trampled... nor the 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th... nor when the government decided it was okay for the government to decide when it can execute its citizens on foreign soil... Why is the line drawn only at the 2nd amendment? After they've taken everything else, are you even going to bother to stand up when they come for your guns, too?

The problem I think is that all of these amendments are coming under attack in a relatively quick and short span of time (ten or twenty years for the majority). The amendment that _has_ to be prioritised when it comes to this is the 2nd amendment because without it, we cannot hope to defend and repair the others. That's my opinion, at least.

for all you kids trying to learn what a sophism is, well, the video above is a perfect example

Encounter Books, I'd like to I'm sure more about the "requirement" that all the state's except Pennsylvania required all militia members to own guns. Thank you.

Very true 👍🏽👍🏽

Damn!

Harold, do you have any evidence to refute any of their claims? Just because the facts presented here aren't as common knowledge (to you) as "The man in the iron mask", doesn't refute the well supported history they are presenting.

Will not comply

did you guys delete my second comment to madrilenio969? What did I school him too hard?

It very dificult to choose , all parties have Good argument : -Democrate : give up some your rights for safer street -Républicain : défend your ancestrale right for self-défense in exchange of your security

they will work despite their 100% failure rate, or you're one of the criminals who profits from the disarming of your victims.

Another excellent video!

Why must we take away a freedom to be safe? Those who obtain guns and use them to harm the innocent are not allowed by-law to even own them!, if anything the enforcement of the already established laws should be the main concern, it is easier to ban something and suppress the problem rather than find a solution that satisfies both parties. The point of the 2 stances is so we do not go right or left, so we don't go one extreme or the other, our leaders are supposed to compromise and understand each other. ALSO, banning guns wont get rid of the millions of firearms in the United States, it will just make them more valuable and a means of income for gangs and cartels, the true causes of violence and crime in the big cities and the people would be defenseless. those who want guns to harm others and do not abide by the law WILL get them. One defense against terrorism and the rouge psychopath gun man is the ownership of guns by civilians, this is why in the United States Schools and movie Theaters are the prime target, they are the only places someone couldn't carry a gun and the people are defenseless, in Europe meanwhile a gunman could walk into a concert hall and butcher hundreds before police could arrive, everywhere is a possible target. The police, can not be there the moment a crime happens, you are alone, armed or not (your choice) for 9-11 minutes while a criminal (most likely armed) can harm you or your family, this is the response times in cities, so it can be worse for those in rural areas. The same people who want gun control also want the Police force to be disarmed, armor and rifles taken, power reduced, but also use them as their main support in gun control, saying they are the ones who defend them and make guns unnecessary. But don't understand that it will jeopardize the security of the nation. Those who are against guns do even know what a gun is, have never touched one, or just have a illogical fear of them. Guns are a freedom many enjoy and a fraction of a hundredth of a percent abuse. They both take and save lives, they are used by both the criminal and the Victim, they bring food to the family of the hunter and take the father from a family, they are a part of society, if we want them or not, and shunning them will not eliminate the harm they can bring. So weigh the advantages and disadvatages, do you believe we should decide today to create a people that fear and misunderstand guns, a nation living in fear of terrorist attacks, of criminals and rouge psychopaths, or should we work together to insure this right remains, that all people are safe or have the opportunity to be against those who wish to do them harm, to have a police force that is armed and ready for any situation in an age of rapid change, threats ever growing. A people with a deep pride inf their government, their rights, and a respect for the Law Enforcement and other Emergency Responders, and the Armed forces that work to protect them, even if they are imperfect, but work towards perfection, The lives of men should be dictated by the decisions they make free rather than decisions forced upon them from above.

siege - not seige....that makes it look unprepared.....

Buying this book

Oh yah, them too!

Skipping some things, but not bad.

I feel like encounterbooks are a little bit too partial

OMG, I didn't know this was a requirement...

Nicely done. Well worth watching.

Do not move to TX. Come to Texas. We have cookies!

Great video!

Well this is almost wholly inaccurate/wrong.

Ya all those countries where guns are illegal will make you carry guns places

Your caps lock is stuck, please fix.

If you're a gun owner, take your friends shooting. The end!

I don't claim to know everything, what I do claim to know is that there is over a century of well documented, easy to find and verify data backing up my claims that gun control doesn't work. I dismiss you because you know you've been made a fool of and are now just trying to save face. To "challenge" me you'd have to show something tangible, which you have not done.

Beautifully done. (Although I miss Bill Whittle.)

Well it could be that their hand is on government assistance.

The gun doesn't pull the trigger

This video was done nicely

law enforcement

we europeans are first class bureaucrats, centuries of political layering and class formation are very evident in todays Europe the colony was a place a man could start over, a clean slate, a new page. a formative stage of something big however, you are destined to become more like us, there will be less social movement more tradition, more bureaucracy, more evident class members that's just the nature of things, the older the oak gets the more complex the line pattern becomes

The part about China is delusional. Weapon control towards the freemen and peasants has always been a policy both in prosperous times and in difficult times, while lords maintaining their private armies. It's a simple question of governmental capability. The worst times of Mao actually seen large scale weapon proliferation and quasi-military involvement in civilian affairs. Mao manipulated these armed little men to bypass administrative procedures and achieve his own political goal. And massive holocausts happened here and there in China like...always. Sometimes taken the form of punitive pillage caused - contrary to what you believe - by futile yet fierce resistance. The worst record is probably during Mongol and Qing conquest. I'm simply suggesting the irrelevance between gun control and humanitarian crisis here in China, to me it's more like a family tradition: we've been accustomed to human rights negligence. I think you should keep this issue purely American to prevent any further confusion.

But it is being talked about. Quite a bit.

great video

Great vid

AND WHAT DOES ALL THAT HAS TO DO WITH GUN OWNERSHIP TODAY ???

When you say it 'european' sounds bad.

what seems to be lost on many Americans is that personal freedoms encroach on the freedoms of other people. Drinking and driving, smoking in public, playing loud music. We accept a certain amount of risk of misuse or accidental injury with things like cars and knives because they have essential every day uses. In a civilized country there really isn't a need for guns in many situations. It's not a case of banning gun ownership, more of being a bit more sensible about it. How can it be argued that an ak47 is necessary, and why are weapons necessary in urban areas?

This video was epic.

in viking age norway every free adult male was by recuired to own a weapon, YEAH!

Lovely video hope you make more about gun control and spreading the truth

You did a great job of doubling down on your false dichotomy, even though it doesn't make it anymore true. "Every single new law control law implemented has been immediately followed by an increase in violent crime," well I've seen a number of studies that disagree with that.

Wish they ban guns in the U.S. they don't have any benefit anywhere, the U.S.A. has a big business in guns anyways, it also supported dictatorships and murders in Mexico, El Salvador, Colombia, Panama, Honduras, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and the list continues.

Great video.. Filled with facts and evidence which of course will fall on deaf ears with teh liberal.

do you know why Texans are so Nice all the godam time? its because Texas is a Gun state and nobody wants to piss someone off with a gun. an Armed Society is a Polite Society. btw i Live in Texas

Also for many people in the 13 colonies woman were not to have too much influence in politics and also normal to "own" slaves. Explain: How exactly was the KKK anti-gun? You know that in Nazi-Germany there actually would have been enough people to stop Hitler and not he absence of gun but the indifference of the people until the NSDAP was too powerful tos top it were reasons for it's reign. You know that the russian revolution was carried AGAINST the law and the military...so if ONLY the military had have had guns the marxists could have been stopped.

A lot of anti-gun idiots in the comment section. What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

I don't own guns, but I support the 2nd amendent. If you want to own guns for self defense , hunting and shooting for sports.... I say have at it.

Its nice to leave out the facts and parts that aren't convenient. Why don't you show what actually happened in the Weimar Republic and what the Third Reich actually do to its gun laws.

Your believe that people in America should keep guns in their homes to protect themselves against the U.S. government it's obscene.

nice

Australia is a major problem for your rhetoric. They instituted incredibly restrictive gun laws (including bans and buybacks), yet the rise of tyrannical government, genocide, crime, etc that gun advocates claim inevitably follows such moves has failed to materialize. Several of the recently proposed gun control laws in the US are really just moves to try and actually enforce the restrictions already on the books (closing gun show and online sale loopholes, etc). Also, gun ownership is no longer a check on tyrannical government, unless you really think rifles and handguns vs drones and missiles is a fair fight.

Hold on there chap. Communism wasn't THAT evil, it was the totalitarian dictature that fucked it up. We see socialism in the US too... Doesn't mean democracy is evil. @ersatzear Communism was born way before Karl Marx. Marx just popularized it.

I guess you know everything about gun control and we should leave everything to you. Don't insult me by dismissing what I say because you can't take that you've been challenged.

Lol 54 days and counting. I'll take Oatmeal cookies please :)

The United States has a higher rate of violence, partly because large parts of the country were in a state of anarchy until the 20th century. People could not count on the government to protect them. The cliché of the cowboy movies is that the nearest sheriff is 200 miles away, so you have to protect yourself with your six-shooter. When governments did arrive, people were reluctant to hand over their self-protection. And because the first government in America was a democracy, people were able to impose their wishes. In European countries, first the government disarmed the people and exerted its control many hundred years ago. Then the people democratized the government, but by then the government had already established control.

Nifty art work, The message is not clear however. Are you for or against gun control? You seem to suggest that gun control would be the precursor to genocide. This is too simplistic an argument. There are loads of examples of modern countries with gun control (my own included, Ireland) which have strict gun control laws already in place and have not resorted to any form of mass murder of the general population. Quite the opposite in fact, with even our police force going about their daily duties without firearms.

i disagree the u.s. is "destined" to become like europe. although there's nothing to say it is impossible. the reason i disagree is because the very foundation of our nation differs from that of any euro country in that our power stems from the people and trickles down to local then federal govmnt. we the people are sovereign. but, real efforts have been made to turn our system on its head and it's because americans have been getting lazy that statists have been successful.

Take our guns leave us helpless ? Thank you ! ☺️

Some of you may want to watch this video watch?v=NJlDYrRQHyQ The opinion is a bit more nuanced.

LOL THIS GUYs VIDEOS ARE JUST SO PREDICTABLE. HAHAHA

Might I make a counter argument: Look at other factors that precede genocide. In the event you find an alarming number of them, I will join your agenda. Before then, I will continue to try to reduce the number of killing devices around me.

Some of your examples in this video are ridiculous. Trying to discredit gun control by using the example of the KKK is like trying to discredit bans on smoking because of the Nazi's (they were one of the first groups to see smoking negative side effects and banned it). I also find it strange that you don't really go into detail about the many other countries who have adopted gun control and for whom it has worked, probably because it'll show that the cases you describe are minorities in history

So basically, encounterbooks is anti-European.

I would be all for the second amendment if the fucking government couldn't eliminate anyone in a split second. Gun holder or not.

I think the title of the video proves you wrong!!

Register these nuts

and the rebels (aka terrorist groups) in Syria

MOLON LABE!

Hey Idiggmedia, Common misconception, the Egyptian Military is wholly separated from the Muslim Brotherhood!

You don't want gun control in the U.S. but you love it in other countries, supporting the same actions you condemn. genocide, taking off territories from other countries and supporting dictatorships and making governments sign agreements to make them incapable to produce their own gun technology. Maybe you're right we all countries should disobbey the U.S. imposed gun control policies, we pursue the same objective like you in The U.S.we want freedom for our countries.

i agree, and the burning cross is actually an old tradition (scottish) that represents the triumph of good over evil

*yawn* Sure you have champ.

conceal and carry laws make me nervous. like lets just say, im unarmed, and a concealed carrier and I are standing in a line to get into a movie or a zoo. and I say something that doesn't make the concealed carrier too happy. whats to stop him from putting a bullet in me? how do I know he wont? why was he carrying a gun into a zoo in the first place? are you honestly that paranoid that you need to be armed 24/7? I want to hear both sides. ill consider opinions from both sides. also: if a government wanted to commence a hostile takeover, they would do it, and you would be powerless to stop it. your AR-15 wont stand up to a tank, plane, artillery shell, toxic gas, rockets, bombs, ships, armor, minigun, helicopter, jeep, or anything else that they have at their disposable.

OH NOES I live in Australia! Genocide Must be Imminent Since Strict Gun Control was enacted in 1995, I mUST FLEE... to america where my rights to own a High Powered Assault Rifle with a Extended Clip is still possible... Goodbye sweet kangaroos and Kookaburras, I will miss you, but my fear of this obviously Genocidal Government Compels me to leave to a much Safer place in the world. 0_o

You aren't allowed to support people who make money bro

👍👍👍 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

1) Registration isn't being talked about, so your comment is irrelevant. 2) what you said is a lie. Even the video as biased as it is say that doesn't always happen.

Gun control worked in Australia. People should require a licence and be able to pass a basic test before having the right to a firearm. Guns shouldn't be blindly sold to idiots and/or criminals. Background checks should be done before the sale of firearms. If you're not a criminal and/or completely stupid you should be able to own a gun. Which means that about 50% of Americans should not be allowed guns. But if gun control was run by the US government it would be a complete mess, like everything they do.

If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will carry guns. However, when the founding fathers referred to a "right to bear arms", I don't they were thinking of AK 47s. All that needs to happen is that someone in America needs to determine EXACTLY, and for all time, what KIND of arms are being referred to when the term "right to bear arms" is used. After all, not even the most fervent NRA member would argue that civilians should freely buying and selling stinger missiles, so clearly there must be some distinction as to exactly what TYPE of "arms" are being referred to SOMEWHERE... it's just a question of determining where. For me, I think civilians have no need whatsoever for fully automatic weapons, but that's just my opinion.

I am Irish and coming from a country with very few guns and even a police forces that is mainly unarmed. I find this video very confusing. The counties listed that went through mass genocide were all taken over by dictators and not 1st world country democracies. After world war II most European countries enacted resignation and requirement to hold a license to own a gun. Even Australia got their ass in gear after a mass shooting. I am confused about why having a license to hold a gun is an attack on the 2nd amendment rights? I am not against anyone owning a gun(s), but resignation & license(like driving a car) ensures that they know rules and can operate safely.

There were no gun laws in Mao's China lol. That came with Deng Xiaoping's reversion to a state capitalist market economy post 1976. Furthermore I can only assume "Soviet-Occupied Poland" is referring to the Katyn massacre which was, by Goebbels' own admission, carried out by the Nazis.
