This woman is trying to lead him. Assault weapons. high capacity magazines etc. Stay strong kid. Our media sucks.
Lazerrus Laslonin agreed
Lazerrus Laslonin not Tucker Carlson
Lazerrus Laslonin or Alex jones
Thank you for pointing this out. She doesn't even try to hide it, she inturrpts him repeatedly and is just trying to stomp on him. I hate partisan media so much.
You just think everything a media person does is bad, don't you?
Noticed key differences to David Hogg. Kyle is way more respectful and articulate, appears to be genuinely haunted by the event. David Hogg is a flamboyant provocateur, nothing more
Pig boy is an actor, he said that he was not at the school.
grancito2 I don't like Hogg either but he was at the school watch the two interviews in full sheet he explains that he left after the shooting and cake back to do interviews. I don't like him but spreading more false information won't help.
Pigboy also has a rather large collection of cringe worthy and desperate Reddit posts and responses, mainly consisting of his rants about his unpopularity at school that are almost always accompanied by his attempts to justify why, usually evoking some variant of: 'its not me, it's them. I'm just smart'. He also has countless replies to questions like "What's some of the hardest things in life to achieve?", in which he responds "Getting a girlfriend."
Seriously...can't make this up. Look it up, it's on UA-cam.
Zak Adams this is the only fact you have to look at criminals are the only people that use guns to commit crimes such as Department shooting so deal with that and be understood it's not every person in the United States it's only criminals horrible crimes
The shooter used 10 round magazines, high cap mags is NOT the issue
Tac Dad *Normal capacity
TheReal Lifehacks *standard capacity mags 😉
Considering how little time it takes to swap out a mag if you practice, 10, 14, 16, 40, 100 makes little difference and the ONLY way he could have been stopped was for someone who was not a coward to go in with a gun once the shooting had started, but he could have been stopped if the gov had done their part right!
same with columbine
yes it is
This young man is respectful to all sides of the argument. Is willing to debate and listen. Very good qualities.
Hmmm Harvard kicks hm out
Thomas Jefferson would be proud of this young man
Jared Balmer Thomas Jefferson would be shocked that this is even a debate
Thomas Jefferson had no idea that there would ever be automatic and semi-automatic rifles.
except there were
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
"I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787
max glomski so we should only own muskets when military and police have assault rifles?
Wow a kid not brainwashed by CNN and liberals!
He's brainwashed by FOX and the NRA
At least his logic is actually reasonable compared to the uninformed liberal snowflakes.
TranTrain
sounds like he just read crap from the NRA talking points hand book. oh and just owning a gun and repeatedly saying i support the second amendment does not make you informed.
Wow another kid brainwashed by Fox News propaganda
Jarhead6 God is in control!
I bet his parents are proud of him!
They are proud that they have successfully brainwashed the kid and like many of you all have done. Congrats.
Tak Giant Or maybe you just handle the fact that perhaps his point of view is right and you NRA blaming idiots could very well be wrong?
Tak Giant ironic because liberals are brainwashed
Terri God bless this boy.
AMEN!
So much support to Kyle!!
even though i feel sympathy for Kyle and he has a better plan to keep schools safer than Hogg kid, i still feel like their should be better minds coming up with school safety.
I do believe there should be an armed guard at the school but there should also be technology and security put in place where a student can't enter with a weapon and someone that should not be there. I think schools need better security system instead of more gun laws that i don't see doing anything.
Life is not an Xbox game - you dont come back!
Eleanor Rigby nah
mike carson ar-15 bullets aren’t huge
mike carson “huge AR-15 bullets” Haha 2.23 and 5.56 rounds are tiny. The round itself, without the casing is like size of my pinky nail.
Well done Kyle. Proud of you.
555Trout Lmao, what's there to be proud of? He can't barely make a coherent point and he's too much of a gay boy.
Don't contact me again.
Jonathan Xavier
you have Kyle confused with little hogg-boy. Squeal like a pig little hogg-boy.
Well said Kyle , well said.
Jonathan Xavier lol you say he can't make a good point but all you said was that he is "a gay boy"
*Kyle Kaschiv an American Hero and a Patriot*
He's an American hero? Everyone of you gun nuts belong in a looney bin.
So its not okay for the "other kids" to protest guns and gun violence after surviving a school shooting but it's okay for this kid to support gun ownership? Im confused.
Brian Pan you belong in the loonie bin. What is your problem with us wanting to keep our rights when more people left are using guns in crimes then anyone on the right
My last comment was not for patriot. It was for brain washed pan
Yet it's the RIGHT that allows them such easy access to guns.
This young man makes David Hogg look like an infantile cretin. And I'm not saying that just because I happen to agree with Kyle. You're looking at a young man here with intellectual capacity beyond his years and maturity beyond his years. Good for him.
555Trout plus he's actually trying to make legislation instead of just yelling things on tv and getting nothing actually done
Indeed! Instead of vomiting out platitudes and emotional diatribes demogoging a very complex issue. And the "media" has not interest in the kid almost. This who thing sure was infuriating.
This guy is an embecile like many of you, bad people will always find a way to get a gun. If you have a country full of weapons is not hard to get a weapon. That is right Kyle, you are part of a minority, you are part of the people that got no common sense, look how dumb you are, you went to Washington to speak with crooket politicians that get money from the NRA. You should get a job with the NRA embecile.
Google User let me guess, this 17 year old is an "embicile like many of you" Just because his opinion varies from yours? I'm sure you are someone who would fight tooth and nail to protect the kids on the other side of this argument and say stuff like don't call them names they are just kids blah blah blah because you agree with what they are saying.
Here is a question for you smart guy. Let us say that every gun in the US was banned and every one of them was rounded up and destroyed. How long do you think it would be before there would be new criminal enterprises out there called gun cartels that did nothing but smuggle in guns for criminals to buy off of the streets. It happens every day with drugs and they are illegal so it could easily happen with guns too.
Well, there is no garantees in life, but when you have no guns, the posibility of someone getting a gun goes down by a lot, you get it? Then we give a big fine and tons of years behind bars for anyone smuggling guns.
Guns many times are for cowards, if you going to fight someone, use your hands, why do we need a gun, tell me? Im a Hispanic guy, without a doubt I have different views from many people in this country. I have common sense that many of you lack, no country should have people with an arsenal and AR 15, etc.
I don't think kids should be political activists on TV, however sense the left has gone so far with many kids on TV. Then I'm okay with Kyle expressing his view points.
You mean this kid agrees with your point of view so it ok now. Change your name to Nick hypocrite Ross. I don't agree with sexual harassment but O'Reilly did it so I don't mind if Weinstein does it...Is that your stupid logic?
hellasow b Couldn't have said it better! Weren't kids being flashed on tv at trump rallies during the elections? Ridiculous.
Maybe Melissa and hellasow read something from Nick that I did not but I didn't notice where he stated what his opinion on gun control was. All I saw was him saying that he or she did not think it was right to parade these kids around for their agenda. Also, Melissa do you really want to compare kids being flashed on tv at a Trump rally to all of the times Obama brought out kids during press conferences to push his agenda.
Nick Ross I agree
hellasow b
No that's not what he's saying.
I agree with him. Without students like Kyle you would think that all students agreed with David Hogg.
The MSM is pushing their resist at all costs. People need to know that Hogg doesn't speak for all students.
This is a different situation. The Left is at war with America.
The MSM is doing everything they can to destroy America.
Don't worry, you won't be seeing Kyle on the cover of Time, or on Ellens show anytime soon. You still have the monopoly on that.
This boy..... just might be my hero! 🙌🏽
Wet
Miss Crenshaw Im pro gun myself,but u can tell this kid is reading what he's saying just at his eyes and mouth movements
"There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes!"
Y'all are quick to jump to conclusions
You must have a sad life if some random kid supporting gun rights is your hero.
This kid is the one that is ACTUALLY brave
Brennan is a vicious left wing journalist. He’s brave enough to stand to her.
St0rm Ranger the FBI wont be able to protect you when it happens :)
Matthew Savoy actually the 2nd amendment isn't very that popular, in schools or kids his age .
Jesusjuice32 actually it is very popular among kids my age...u only see the kids that the media propels through social media and on the news...most kids my age are pro 2A...millennials are not however
Tantheman93 They're ALL brave.
Exactly!!! Why wasn’t he invited to speak? The hypocrisy and bias of the March for our lives event is soooo obvious!
It was nothing more than liberal propaganda perpetrated by the communists.
Uh, duh, he and the "march for our lives" movement have different opinions on the subject.
Tell me why they would invite someone with opposite views. Stop acting like you guys are any better. If the places where switched you wouldn’t invite people to your March with an opposing view. Where was the invite by president trump to the march for our lives kids.
@@fuzzywuzzy1355 So much for a fair debate.
A bit of trivia. Originally, Kyle Kashuv was scheduled to appear with a small group of fellow Parkland survivors (Among them David Hogg and Emma Gonzales) on a Time Magazine cover. But for some strange reason Kyle was left out at the last minute while only the Parkland survivors who are speaking out for strict gun control was present for the cover photo shoot. (Rolling eyes)
It’s pretty telling that none of the other students even mention the failure of the police and the FBI.
The sheriff's department did not fail,they achieved their objective.
@@richardcarden4161 they failed many times look at uvalde
Ban all guns, because the last time America banned something it totally worked. *cough*prohibition*cough*
Raul Portillo alcohol didn't shoot up schools. Cough*Cough
Mike Hawk how many kids do you think have died because of alcohol? I can almost guarantee you it is much more than guns
Captain Obvious alcohol is a choice. Going to school or any public area and getting shot by someone is not a choice.
Mike Hawk that isn't really relevant here
Captain Obvious Neither is saying alcohol has killed more people so all guns are ok.
Good for this kid not giving in to this hysterical wokeness going on.
Erin Baringer That statement speaks volumes. Unfortunately in the wrong direction.
TheSycaman eye of the beholder, sir
Erin Baringer knowledge is truth. Beholder or not.
Erin Baringer if you not woke then you sleep
Sharp young man !!!! There is hope !!!!
CNN looks at his last name and says "HE'S A RUSSIAN"
I would be proud to have that young man for a son!
KYLE KASHUV >>> BALD GIRL
Evan McColly No, no, refer to her as "Skinhead Lesbian".
Better than skinhead lesbian and Hoggwart.
Hoggwart. That's a new one
Hoggwarts is good. I prefer Hogging the Camera and his boyfriend Butch
did you just assume gender ? lol
True patriot
I have a lot of respect for the way this kid approaches the problem and how he chooses not to use the shooters name in order to avoid giving them notoriety.... but still he, and everyone else, can’t seem to acknowledge that this is clearly a social issue.
How exactly do you suggest the "social issue" be solved?
Audrey Muzingo
Ban premarital sex, reinforce marital contracts, get people to attend weekly gathering institutions at least once every 2 weeks, and bring back public executions. Yep, that should do it.
Yes. We've had guns in this country longer than the shootings. It's a social issue. The decline of western culture
Forest Hill Mechanical Services
What people often consider progress is, in reality, human degeneracy and decadence.
Damn, back to the middle ages is what you are saying? That's hilarious! The archaic views are not prominent for a reason
Wow someone who actually knows what he’s talking about and still tries to keep the 2nd amendment.
Why am I not surprised that a trailer-trash gun-nut can't even spell the word "tries"? EDIT: At least "Travi 636" learned to spell "tries" and fixed it after my comment, that's a rare display of cognitive ability for a gun nut!
Well you know what all of the student who talk at Saturday was their own words, but Kyle as well it is his own word and not the NRA. But what is funny how Democrats work they put words in people mouth all the time than always say the other one who do not agree with me is only using words they was told to say.
This is what tears America apart because one side start to tell the other side of the issue to shut up it is our stage and not yours. Wake up Matthew we do have a First Amendment in the Constitution that give ever one the right to Free Speech.
lifeline52002 exactly, like go ahead and have your side of the situation, but don’t ignore or disrespect someone just because they have they’re own opinion on the matter. That’s what makes America have so many issues.
Travi 636
you know i never heard the vast majority of these marcher ever say out right repeal of the second amendment, just more restriction on guns. when it's become as easy to buy as gun as it is to buy a slushie at 7/11 then we have a problem.
who you think knows more this kid or SUPER CONSERVATIVE Justice Scalia
“Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited…” It is “… not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”
“Nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”
“We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. Miller (an earlier case) said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those “in common use at the time.” We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of ‘dangerous and unusual weapons.’”
My hero, probably one of the only smart kids who came out of that shooting. He understands guns and understands that taking them away aren't the answer.
Finally somebody speaking the truth
he was calm didn't interrupt her. the ppl on the other side can learn a thing or 2 from him.
You aren’t guaranteed a platform, make your own march.
UNLESS SEAN PENN..OPRAH AND STEVE/O ALL BACK U
LOL
God bless this kid!
Now there's a man using logic instead of emotion. I hope this young man becomes a role model.
He was not invited to speak because he's not following the agenda while ignoring the actual causes of that event and others. This kid is right on, and far better informed than his attention seeking classmates.
One smart kid among a bunch of complete idiots. Without guns, none of us is safe and none of us is free. Thank you Kyle Kashuv for having the bravery to stand up for what's right.
HCC, we don't have guns in England and we are perfectly safe.
I have seen several articles showing England to be one of the most violent countries in Europe. You even have BAN KNIVES protests
HCC You have proven beyond a doubt that there must be a God and divine miracles really exist! It's the only way to explain how I, my friends and family, and the millions of other Americans that don't own guns are still alive, only for the grace of God. . . . . . . By the way exactly who are the people that NRA will want gun owners to fight against to keep us free? The police? The FBI or ATF? Judges? Our Congressmen and Senators? Reporters? Exactly who is the "enemy" the NRA is terrorizing people about? You really should share that information so we'll all know who to go after.
Are we more safe with more guns? Free? what you talking about?
The Moist Potato yeah also in England you guys are limited on your freedom of speech since in England there was a guy got convicted because of a joke with his dog.
Ha! I would love to see a debate. If only David hog would have the guts to.
Theres no way they'd let a debate happen, because Hogg wouldn't be able to use the "child murderer" angle on him.
This young man needs his voice heard! Thank you, for being a true patriot.
The other kids who want better gun control are also true patriots.
Faith in humanity restored. I hope reason and logic prevail.
we will never give up our guns!
His view is NOT opposing
His view is the law of the land
Now I call Kyle Kashuv the first level-headed, INTELLIGENT teen I've heard yet! He ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS the REAL problem and it's NOT more gun laws. I REALLY HOPE we hear more of this kid!
Kyle Kashuv Thank you!!!! For being level headed, and having a respectful, intelligent, well thought out approach. I applaud your parents. They're doing a phenomenal job!!!! 👏👏👏👏
somebody with brains go young man
So, someone promoting gun ownership has "brains" but someone protesting gun violence in school shootings doesnt?
Fuzzy Wuzzy Defending the coward of a sheriff who refused to enter the building during the shooting constitutes as brainless yes. Which is what David Hogg did.
This is the kid that should be leading the marches. He's down to earth he makes good sense he makes for a good point and he's not trying to infringe on our constitutional right
So much respect for this young man !! He is one of the very few kids actually see the truth ..
Bless his bravery for standing up for what is right!❤️
A true patriot this young man is beholden to nobody! Why is he in the minority and why is he in the minority at his high school silent!? Why didn't he get to speak at the march in D.C.? GEEE I WONDER...HUMMMMM???
Johnny Dangerously he chose not to to actually. Research sir.
Smart brave kid, also props to him for not saying the lunatics name, fame only drives these problems
Thank you, Miss Margaret Brennan for letting this young man speak. You were awesome and did not interrupt him. You gave him the equal opportunity that many others would not have. Although, I do not know where you stand with the gun rights, you were humble in giving Mr. Kashuv his time and presence. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your voice and your true right passion. The people need to continue to hear this!!!
The Parkland shooter used 10 round magazines and killed 17 people, magazine restrictions would do nothing. Kid, why not mention this?
stop your dumbness paul
If he'd had bigger magazines, he would have killed more people.
if someone there had a gun there he would of killed less
Even if you only had a five round magazine you could still pull off a hundred shots pretty fast if you carried enough loaded magazine on you. It takes about one second to change a mag! Guns and magazines are definitely not the problem. It's law enforcement and the FBI ignoring the warning signs and then not doing anything when they have an active shooter on the property! The armed guard did nothing to address the shooter while he was shooting children. The guy even walked out with the rest of the children when he was done shooting! They didn't catch him for a few hours after the shooting! They can defend themselves any way they like to, but they failed to do their jobs!
Paul. If I'm not mistaken the shooters at columbine used shot guns and pistols and maybe a hunting rifle. They killed 13
Right on Kyle. Nice to see a level headed young man like yourself.
Matthew Savoy So to you Kyle is a puppet because he has a different opinion on the gun issue than you or David Hogg? That's very bais of you.
Proud of this guy for speaking up.Not acting like his mind is wiped by the MSM!!
Smart kid and you are so right!! Thank you for standing up and speaking out we are behind you buddy!!
Amen my young brotha!
JUSTICE SCALIA
“Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited…” It is “… not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”
“Nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”
“We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. Miller (an earlier case) said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those “in common use at the time.” We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of ‘dangerous and unusual weapons.’”
hellasow b hellasow b so basically, Justice Scalia was never asked if:
The second amendment applies to using guns for another purpose, aside from self defense?
We should protect our children the same we protect our airports and banks?
The first amendment applies only to pen and parchment, as well as physical voices?
"We should protect our children the same we protect our airports and banks?"
1st of the airports are not secure the planes are...You can shoot up an airport...and banks are robbed all the time.
No, I don't want to put kids in bank vaults or have them padded down for they don't have 2oz of liquids on them.
National Center for Educational Statistics there are 132,656 schools
Let say we can secure all school with 5 security guards making 50k. That is $33,000,000,000 (33 Billion) that not including training weapons, supplies, and infrastructure. You are talking at least 100+ Billion. ARE YOU PROPOSING A GUN TAX TO PAY FOR ALL THIS NONSENSE?
Or do what works what work for the rest of the world. Heavy restriction on buy guns or outright bans on some...Like here in the US we ban fully automatic guns.
"But guns bans don't work look at Chicago"...I looked at the state of Illinois (where Chicago is) and it has lower gun deaths per 100k people than MOST of those less regulated red states. Those left-leaning Blue states have by far fewer gun deaths per 100k...Gee, them libtards might be onto something
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_death_rates_in_the_United_States_by_state
I only have stats for 2010...but will be happy if you provide me more current stats.
California Lousiana Difference
Gun MURDERS 1257 351 less than 4x
population 37.2 MIL 4.5MIL 8x bigger
Gun ownership 20% 44.5% 2x larger
So shockingly with all those violent "cities" in Cali and illegal Mexicans running around...You are twice as likely to be murdered by a gun in Louisiana than in California...Even though every other person has a gun in Lou. ...Funny...
ok... Scalia may be described by the left as "far-right" but he was a moderate... of course that was his view. Plus, an AR-15 is nothing like the weapons the military uses. An M134 mini-gun fires huge 7.62mm rounds at over 100 rounds per second.... An AR-15 is a semi-automatic that shoots a bullet close in size to a .22 caliber kids rifle and can't be fired at a rate anywhere close to that of many other actually military weapons.
He prefers not to glorify the name of the shooter. What class.
Good on CBS for interviewing this young man. Even if you don’t agree, it’s useful to hear opposing viewpoints.
there is some hope for this generation afterall
john doe there is a lot of hope and some of it comes from my generation. We'll be the ones at the polls in 2020 voting Red.
Yes it seems like us republicans especially in my generation are the minority but we vote next. I promise it'll show
If there are so many people that think 🤔 like this kid. Why don’t they do their own march?
Harry Baalsonya Our founding fathers already did that March.
thinga majiggy it’s time for another one. This kid should rally all his fellow classmates that share his point of view and do a march for our guns, or something like it. The other kids did it to push their view. Why can’t this one?
Because we already have rights. Until they start being taken away, there is no need to march for nothing like liberals do.
Harry Baalsonya hmm let me see funding we don’t have George soros Michael Bloomberg money for support think about that
Harry Baalsonya This is gonna sound like an insult but its not intended to be. I genuinely believe conservatives have less time on their hands than liberals do to do stuff like that.
Good for this kid for not being pressured by his peers and standing up for what he believes in. These are the kids that are going to get things done
Thank you, Face The Nation, for having him on.
SIDEBURN KYLE is right on. The kid is doing many great things for our country--much love, sir!
Super Smart kid.
Not all heroes wear capes...
Good job son.. you are obviously a product of fantastic parents. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
"And I find it ironic after all theses government failures that we want to trust the government even more" god damn this man could be a voice of a nation but that doesn't fit the agenda 👁
Kyle Kashuv > David Hogg
Poop > David Hogg
Cancer > David Hogg
What are you talking about? David Hogg IS cancer.
Genocide > David Hogg
Horrible jokes > David Hogg
Rabidcolombian Does your mommy know you're using her UA-cam account?
Melissa Thomas does this trigger you?
I like that even though he has an opposing view he is still respectful of the other side and doesn’t attack anyone
Kyle kashuv I’ve been waiting to hear that I’m not the only person who has these views I wish I could talk to you it feels wonderful to know that there is someone who has the right mind set about these issues
The newest valedictorian of trump university
Nice.. This kid is brave enough not to stick with the script. Awesome
It is nice to hear from a young man who is well spoken without being pushed to use talking points by the media.
The emotion in his voice man. That’s genuine feeling that he has for those that have been lost and I feel that. I don’t feel it when David Hogg speaks.
Neither do I
Dont give up young man!!!
What would have prevented a student from shooting up a school? Perfect example, just recently (the day before the parkland shooting) a grandmother in Washington read her grandsons diary saying that he was planning to shoot up his school in April. It took ONE phone call to the police for him to be arrested so he couldn't follow through with the mass shooting. Now why did nothing get done about the parkland shooter after dozens of complaints and calls to the cops and FBI? It isn't the NRA's fault, it is the systems fault and coward county; they are to blame for the 17 lives lost. He could have been stopped but people dropped the ball. Now, banning guns won't magically stop a lunatic from carrying out their plans. You want to talk about the real issues, how about we ban vehicles, alcohol, tobacco, and fast food. Those are all more dangerous than "assault rifles" in this country. Heck, while we are at it, let's change the driving age to 21 and the voting age to 21 as well. Why not. 🙄
That's my thoughts exactly. I could get a Ruger Mini-14, same firing rate as an AR-15, and nobody would give a crap because it doesn't have the scary black costume. I live an hour south Chicago and half-an-hour outside of downtown Joliet, the gang-related gun violence gets bad enough that I'm not only taking a martial art for the exercise and life-skill of it, but I'm seriously considering both getting my CCW and leaving the state once I have a job that will let me do that. That said, I do agree with the left in we need better mental healthcare, or at least to de-stigmatize mental disabilities (Source: I am extremely high-functioning Asperger's) and push for more stringent background checks.
All that out of the way, humorous story from you you might appreciate; a Chicago Sun Times journalist, and I use the term very loosely, tried to purchase and AR-15 to prove how easy they are to obtain, well in IL, we have mandatory 24 hr waiting periods for rifles and shotguns and 72 hr for handguns. He was denied his sale because he has a history of domestic battery and alcohol abuse, so in true anti-gunner fashion, he blamed it on everybody but himself and his criminal record.
Caleb Short lol that is exactly what people like to do, blame others for their bad choices. Just like the sheriff trying to deflect from the fact that his team did nothing with all the complaints on this kid and his sheriffs are cowards for not doing their jobs by going into the school to stop the threat; instead he blames the NRA. Smh. I live in California, one of the most strictest gun law states and I have my CCW. I encourage every law abiding citizen to get their permits (unless you live in an open carry state) I feel much safer knowing I won't be a victim. I stay prepared.
Smart kid, he never bit on the last question. He gave a political answer. Love it!
Kyle, you’re a light in a dark world. Keep fighting the good fight. God bless you and God bless us all
He’s absolutely being bullied by many other students at Stoneman Douglas about his own opinion! He must love the NRA.
Why does he look scared?
dennis bryan be code he's a kid
Because its him vs. The country!
meme gawd not true he has people on his side
dennis bryan yes but not alot of them are being heard like him they're scared because of what other people will think
because he's a kid on tv.
Loving these comments and the support for this smart young man!
I can tell that he was nervous during the interview, but he still said what he needed to say which is good
if he wants to be a featured speaker at a march, all he has to do is start one up and then he can talk all day long if he wants. what happened yesterday was a protest, not a debate. they aren't the same thing. and maybe he can end up in a debate with the other students from his school. they seem like decent enough people. i'm sure all he'd have to do is ask. and it could only be a good thing, since the goal from both points of view is to have safer schools and to live in a safer society. he went through that nightmare the same as all those other kids, and so of course his voice should carry equal weight. but there are ways to go about it, and expecting to be included in a protest he doesn't believe in ain't one of them
If he started a march all the neo liberals would blast him in the media.only the left has a voice the rest of us are labeled Nazis if we don't agree and chastised.1984 is upon us and you can thank the neo liberals for that.
You are exactly what is wrong with the country. Grow up and get a clue.
He doesn't have George Soros to back him and pay for everything.
Telephonicus Maximinius Yes!
D Swaggins They get labeled when they carry tikki torches and scream racist chants yes.
Although you said the N word 12 times i still support you
Alondra Ramirez ?
This is how you debate your stance on a subject or problem. Not with overzealous anger or mob mentality. But with calm, logic driven speech
In Ireland we have lower gun deaths per 100,00 than the United States and no mass shootings. Statistically, firearm restrictions work very well
The Right (especially Ben Shapiro): Ignore the victims, they're just kids.
Except for this kid Kashuv, because he agrees with our agenda.
Andrew Miller wrong, they say exactly why those other kids are wrong and why Kyle is right.
They also say kids shouldn’t be encouraged participate in political debates in general.
However, the left just LOVE to push kids into the political arena.
I believe that he's sincere, but he's absolutely being used as a useful idiot. Just look at his ease of access to congressmen, senators and the president as a standalone against the vast majority of the affected students.
LOL The same can be said about a dozen of the other kids asking for *LESS AMERICAN LIBERTIES...* those kids don't even go to school anymore... To busy making celebrity appearances and shows O_o
The AR-15 is the primary combat weapon of EVERY FREE STATE MILITIA.. asking to ban it is effectively asking to DIS ARM AMERICA..
No worries though... look at what is happening in the Middle East... more War is coming and we need more service men.
THE DRAFT will teach these kids the value of American Liberties... as they find out how adult being 18 really is O_o
He's met with democratic senators as well
"The same can be said about a dozen of the other kids asking for" 100% agree with you there. Everything else were on opposite sides of the argument. For basic claims/statements that fit within the realm of the everyday I take people at their word until evidence suggests otherwise. He seems sincere.
On your last statement. Curious why you'd defend the young man. Only to turn around and claim that he and an entire generation has to go to war to "find out how adult being 18 really is". It seems at odds with your 1st line.
Martin Burns let me get this straight, this kid meets with govt officials of all opinions on gun control, and he’s being used as a useful idiot. Yet the other parkland students who go on Ellen and are put on the cover of major magazines aren’t useful idiots? What kind of backwards logic is that?
Are you serious? The anti-gun kids have far more access, to both politicians and the media. Stunningly dumb statement.
he is such a well spoken and smart kid. THIS is how you make change. being calm and compassionate really does makes a difference
This kid didn't let his emotion get the best of him and he did his research and he stated facts great job
I agree with this kid that said why are we are treading dangerous water making policy based on 16 year olds feelings
Awesome talk - thank you for providing your perspective which is so needed to be known --
This young man is wise beyond his years, most adults these days don’t have this levels of logic.
The only kid out of this situation who seems to have some knowledge and wisdom on how things work in the world and all it's complexity. This kid is the real deal, not the other ones who are being pushed hard by the radical left media.
Kyle is like that quiet kid in the movies, and tv shows that everyone dislikes but has a real solid solution to a problem. Keep up the good work Kyle
Sue the organizers of the march for descrimination
Ershkin said that, or repeal the law preventing this kid from starting his own march. Oh right, there isn’t one.
I like this lad, he’s more soft spoken and less obnoxious.
I'm from Douglas and it's finnaly great to see someone that gives a different opinion
Thank You Kyle! America Stands With You and All those lost during this tradgedy! Prayers to all the Families and Loved Ones who are grieving but standing together during this difficult time !
This Citizen is Impressed with CBS’s (apparent) neutral position in
the broadcast of this complicated issue. Thanks!
I want to shake this kids hand. True Patriot
I can't think of the last teenager in the public sphere that I actually respected. This is amazing and I'm so inspired to see Kyle getting so much support.
