Why is it when a police officer shoots someone the police officer is blamed but when someone does a mass shooting the gun is blamed?
Well because the officer is a trained authority who should have higher ethical standards and more control over their emotions. You can't have that over the entire public and that's why you don't give guns to the entire public. If you're gonna give guns especially automatic /semi automatic weapons then where does the idea of self-protection stop? Should ppl start buying tanks to protect themselves?
Ps I think most cops have tasers anyway and keep firearms in their vehicles for really dangerous conflicts.
Follow Australia's example. US is too stupid and greedy to save their own. Not the citizens but the politicians taking money from NRA to fund their campaigns.
Abner. Probably because we believe the cop is sane and the mass shooting person is insane.
Michael Jensen here is the real reason anti gunners want to blame the gun when the gun is not the problem mental health is the problem. We used to have hospitals and institutions that the mentally ill were treated at but along the was bleeding hearts said we can't keep these people locked away we Medicate them and let them be free to go back into the public. Problem with that is unless there is someone to make sure they do what they are supposed to they won't do it. I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN FIRST HAND TOO MANY TIMES. They are walking the streets everyday. With all this political correctness crap and everyone's a winner BS when these people come against the real world situations they don't know how to handle it. Then you get mass shootings among other things. The other thing is the evil that is in a man's heart. We have aloud God to be pushed out of everything and when He is out Satan steps in.
Real Favorites cops that are equipped w/less than lethal options also carry a sidearm. There isn't one police force in the country that goes into the field unarmed. Stun guns and tasers don't always work. Thick clothing or s person being high will render a taser useless. I'm all for less than lethal options but to have that be the only option is ridiculously unsafe.
See the knife attack on the U.K. A few years ago when it took the police way too long to stop the guy because they couldn't subdue him with damn stick.
Real Favorites also it's legal to own functional tanks as a civilian. There are people who own tanks. You could register and drive one on the street if you got rubber tracks for it. You can even have a functioning gun turret. It's is the shells that are regulated by the BATFE, but you can still own them with the proper licenses....and many people do.
the punk broke like 50 laws.. you really think 10 more would have slowed him down?
kim w just like the woman’s trait: get emotional and make that your decision and action.. not reason nor logic, nor common sense, nope, just emotion!
No but laws preventing manufacturers from flooding America with guns would have prevented him from getting his hands on them regardless of HIS adherence to the law
IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATES WHERE ALMOST EVERONE CARRYIES A GUN THERE IS VERY LITTLE CRIME....GO TRUMP
.
TRUMP SUPPORTER - IM AN ASSCLOWN IGNORE ME!!!
Once you open mental health to not being able to have a gun. The liberals with pass a law for people to be blood tested for depression. A little known ability they had already tried to pass for testing and employers.
Russian Troll confirmed.
An armed society is a polite society. But Trump is not your friend when it comes to gun control/er, I mean PEOPLE CONTROL. Trump does what it takes for Trump to survive. iF IT MEANS GUN CONTROL, WELL HE GIVES GUN CONTROL
@@hoppermantis7615 that is pure fantasy !
"Bump stocks" do not change the function of the rifle. Also, I can perform the bump fire technique WITHOUT a bump stock. So am I a felon because I can do that?
jason60chev yes. We need to ban your fingers.
Thumbs and belt loops next!!
There a reason people pay $200 to $400.00 for bump stock. An amatuer user can get 15 rounds out in 5 secs compared to about 40 in 5 seconds. Both are way too many bullets in too short of time.
ua-cam.com/video/K2IOZ-5Nk5k/v-deo.html
Jason , we need belt loop control NOW!
I appreciate your joke.
How about just guarding the school??????????????????????????WTF!!!
Jay Hall That would make too much sense. Apparently civil war makes more sense to them.
Enough is enough! How many more innocent people must be slaughtered like defenseless sheep in these “gun-free zones” before common sense prevails and people demand the real “change” that will alter the outcome of these horrible evil acts? How many more of our children must die behind the sign or sticker that says “Welcome sadistic, murdering sociopaths! No legal gun possession is allowed in here. Come on in and let the killing spree begin, because no law abiding citizen will be able to stop you.”
zagorith14 an unarmed group of people, picking a fight with the most armed people on the planet... Sounds logical!
Trump lowered budget for extra's in schools so how is he going to pay for guns and training in all those schools? It will cost at least 100 million dollars which won't go to better education.
jacco, since when has the USA worried about where the money was coming from when we invaded other countries? Now we worry about money to protect our children in schools???,,tell me it isn't so!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remove God from society and reap what you sow. This has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with culture.
Every Islamic terrorist comes from a place where God dominates their lives. Religion isn't the answer, and is in fact problematic to reasoned society. The problem is the 2nd amendment rights being infringed upon for law abiding citizens, which turns them into victims. As long as there exists in humans the ability and desire to commit violence, disarming the law abiding will do nothing but turn them into victims.
We are safer without fairy tales.
Oh remove god ? Then why does child abuse , honor rape and genocide happen in places of worship?
What do Jesus say about it?
I agree. Remove God from society reap evil. Remove light and you have darkness. Satan is God of this world (society) This is what the Bible says. The absence of morality is immorality, we are living in darkness because people do not believe in morality
YES, you must do your own research. Americans must be VERY skeptical of what they see and hear from the Main Stream Media.
And an order of magnitude more skeptical of everything they hear from the White House Press podium and even more so from all 'TrumpTweets'.
amen
What are you saying, that 17 students and teachers weren't murdered by an 18 year old with an AR-15?
Our nation's children know what's going on, and most of them, along w/ their parents demand sensible gun legislation. They know what fake news is..its q, anon, and major psychotic and violent inclined right wing insanity.They know what a lunatic Alex Jones is, but you blithering idiots don't, and YOU are disseminators of fake psycho news, and the majority of Americans know this. There's about 30% of you that have mush for brains, and you're mostly right wing loonies
+Dorothy Gears well if a troll says so lol!!
It’s not guns, it’s the decay of society.
Ahhhhh, Trey, I just lost a little faith in you about your view on the Bump Stocks and how you think the ATF should take care of it... 1st. Bump stocks don't turn a semi auto in to a full auto. 2nd the ATF does not make LAW... I though you know this.... come on
Post a video of you shooting a semi-auto AR as fast as bump fire just by pulling the trigger, then post a video of you shooting as accurately as using a bump-stock as using the push method on a standard AR, then you might have a point, you'd also be beating Jerry Miculek so I'm surprise I have never heard of you in the competitive shooting scene.
Hollywood is allowed to make movie after movie that glorifies bad people with guns and still nobody talks about that. And then we allow Hollywood to get involved in this debate. We need a push to sue Hollywood.
Tony Hill hmm that sounds a bit like cencership to me but since your taking away our second amendment rights you may as well take away our first too right?
Totally agree! I am past the point of revulsion concerning Hollywood acting like it's the political conscience of the world while churning out so much violent crap entertainment.When did it happen that frivolous people with silly careers got to have such widely reported opinions about serious matters? Film actors should only speak when the camera is rolling.
Diana Trimble who gave you the right to say that other people can't do/say/make content just because you don't agree with it?
Tony Hill those movies are watched all over the world only here is the hatred so bad never seen this in my country
There's no evidence that links violent movies and video games to violent actions. Keep peddling that myth that those on both sides of the isle keep uttering. And any evidence linking the two are extremely outdated. But, sure sue Hollywood all you want (and while you're at it, work on banning the Bible as well - there's lots of violence in that too).
Pakistan may be a messed up country. But I will give them credit for one thing.
After the Peshawar school massacre of 2014 in which 149 were massacred. They allowed the teachers to obtain a free permit and they carry guns now on site.
How many of those 17 lives could have been saved if after the first shot, ten teachers returned fire?
The media wanting congress to regulate the 1st Amendment. Interesting... What do you think CNN, ABC, NBC??? I thought so 😂
I walked into a gun fight in Chicago holding an etched plaque and a megaphone explaining how guns were Illegal. I got killed....
Plano, TX has more guns per capita than any city in the US, and they have the least amount of killings at .4 per 100,000 people. Now what do you say?
Michael Riffel some body pull a gun out in Plano TX and do something stupid don’t need no jury just a shovel
I’d just like to make one thing clear: a bump stock does not change the firing mechanism of a rifle. It simply allows the recoil to propel the gun against your trigger finger rapidly, making it fire SINGLE ROUNDS at a very rapid rate. Bump stocks do not make a weapon fully automatic, they make a semi-automatic rifle shoot more comparably to an automatic. The fire rate of a semi-automatic is still significantly slower in terms of fire rate than an actual automatic, and a bump stock is actually significantly hard to control when firing at the rate the Vegas shooter was firing. The only reason he was able to succeed was because he was firing indiscriminately into a large crowd of thousands of people. Banning bump stocks will do nothing to prevent mass shootings and will only further restricts legal gun owners from modifying their legal weapons.
Gun control isn't the problem, its the fact that their isn't anyone around with a gun to stop the shooters. Perfect job for veterans who cant find jobs would be to be stationed outside schools to protect them.
What do you think it would take to stop someone who is entering a school with a semi-automatic? It becomes a war zone. Is this the kind of place that you want to send your children to? When most of us were growing up, we went to school with faces of our bus drivers and teachers welcoming us not tanks.
Millennial Life that is a fairy tale. 5 trained cops in times Square shot 30 times and hit nine bystanders before they hit the perp
A gun would stop someone from entering a school with a semi-automatic. I would feel safer sending my kids to a school with armed veterans/teachers in it than a school with a 0 tolerance gun rule. Gun rules don't stop people, people stop people.
Your solution is basically amplifying the status quo with the status quo. It doesn't make any damn sense. Are you saying that we should accept the reality that people with semi automatic weapons can just go to a school and shoot? How are you okay with children witnessing violence?
Criminals will get guns no matter what. They are criminals they are breaking the law. Yeah obviously we can make it "Harder" for them to get firearms but they are still going to get them. We need to look at solutions on how to stop them after they have the guns. No number of laws is going to keep criminals from getting weapons.
It appears all of the laws that are intended to protect us from mass shootings haven't worked. Laws and law enforcement haven't protected the schools. The solution doesn't require a change to the Constitution. We need to change the law that prevents law abiding citizens from carrying guns in school. We need to enforce the law that allows us to protect ourselves.
How about volunteer teachers be qualified for concealed carry permits. as many as possible.
how about you just have sensible gun controls the same as all the other smart countries in the world that doesnt have their kids shot in schools . it's the guns stupid.
Fred Norman How about double the salaries for teachers?
+Fred Norman. Great. I thought most teachers took up teaching to educate young people - not shoot them.
Maybe the smart countries will let you live there. Its not the guns its the crazy people on poisonous medications.
end gun free zones, they are killing fields WAKE UP!
These kids haven’t been on earth long enough to know what they are giving away.Bless there hearts!!
I ain’t giving up my guns! Any of them period
Ask these kids, "Do you want gun control OR safe schools?"
They have hitched their wagon to the liberal anti-gun rant which is distracting from making safe schools!
lol regulate and make people prove who they are when they want to help a person run for president but dont make people prove who they are to vote?
FBI was given his name after he posted a threat on YT. Sheriff was called to his home 39 times. Deputy stayed outside to let the slaughter happen. How many times does law enforcement have to let you down ? And you want to give up your only means of personal protection ?
that says it all
That interview was of no value. It appears the principal of stoneman was very aware of Cruz while and after he was a student. as was many of the teachers. His threats where well known to students who passed that in to teachers. The principal is also responsible for the protection of students while on campus. What did he know, when did he know it and why did he not contact authorities and demand action..
Bob Griffith the police was notified beforehand but they did nothing
Nrvea Dreamer I’m asking about the principal of the school.. i know about others.
Bob Griffith want ads looking for grown men with a set of balls to confess mistake's stop debating and own up actually do something.
Bob Griffith you cant trust State workers
The news only wants to know about guns. I applaud Mr Gowdy for bringing all of the aspects forward, not just the guns. If this doesn't open your eyes to the media's agenda, nothing will.
But there was no advance evidence that the killer in Las Vegas was mentally impaired except that he was angry about his debt. Could psychiatrist predict when he would snap?
But he did used to work for Lockheed Martin!
To this old guy who returned back to the world a little over 50 years ago from Vietnam, to me, Gun Control will always mean "Don't miss your target."
Trey Gowdy is the only Washington politician who I have never seen out argued. He's a downright verbal badass and I wish he would run for president
Gary Crawford every time I've seen him argue he's flawlessly won I wait to hear flawless victory
He’s looking very weak on the gun control issue. Sounds like he’d vote for capacity limits, etc...Rubio too, although I always knew he wasn’t a true 2A supporter
J. Rob., they're all for sale in Washington once the money's right. sadly
I felt the same,.. Until this interview. No more for me. I'm very disappointed with him after watching this.
GARY, SEE my post above. FIRST TIME I have seen TREY GOWDY, ABSOLUTELY WRONG and TOTALLY INCORRECT. , I will try to contact him tomorrow, 3/29/2018. I am anxious to hear his explanation on FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS.
Trey you disappoint me today. You were my hero. Bump stocks and magazine capacity shall not be infringed upon Trey, ever.
In the Vegas concert incident it was reported and videotaped that there was a helicopter hovering in the background and shooting into the crowd. There’s no way that shooter was able to injure that many people in that amount of time by himself.
There were also reports from a lot of people here locally who had gone, that there was more than one shooter on the ground at the event. They saw men in tactical gear and one was on the phone right before and said he saw a shooter and he looked him right in the face.
Banning fully automatic or any variation there of is a violation of the second amendment. It's unconstitutional for any government agency to infringe upon the right of the people to bare arms. The constitution is the supreme law of the land and supersedes all other laws. The only legal way to change this right is to follow the legal process of amending the constitution. Look government, if you expect citizens to follow the law then you must lead by example and do the same.
This is ah fu^*ing joke. More than 1shooter n Vagas, and the same at the school. Plus drills were ran that day smh
Everyone is Russian all of a sudden...lmao
No, bricks can't be used to injured 500 people quickly. But car and truck bombs sure can be. Just ask Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, and Michael Fortier.
Have some backbone, Mr. Gowdy
he has a lot more backbone then you
Most honest man in D.C....When you make comments on emotions-----WE----the world can see how stupid you are...
Agreed. He just bent over for the dems and liberals...guess he doesnt wanna complicate his future once he leaves office.
Sad to see, he used to be a real bulldog, now he's coming across as a kitten.
Since when are fully automatic weapons illegal? I thought you just had to get the right license to own them? Am I wrong
I mean no disrespect, Mr. Gowdy, but I'm afraid your responses to the vital concerns of these bright, passionate young people suggest that you are more than a little emotionally tone deaf this morning. And nice dodge on the question regarding the money that you yourself take from the NRA. Yes, we noticed that you didn't want to touch that one. Apparently, for you and your Republican compadres, what amounts to blood money is perfectly acceptable money. You, Sir, are able to do better than this.

Why would any sane individual want to limit access to guns on par with basic government weaponry?
After looking up the legal definitions of the words/phrases in the 2nd Amendment in Black’s Law, 5th Ed., and Webster’s Dictionary of 1828, here’s what I found:
A well-armed and trained people, being necessary to maintaining a state of individual liberty for all, the RIGHT of individual Americans to own, possess and maintain weapons of military utility or any Thing that can be used for offensive or defensive purposes and to carry them on or about their bodies, or in their clothing or a pocket, as they go about their daily affairs pursuing Life, Liberty and Happiness, ready for immediate employ in the event of a spontaneous confrontation is absolutely forbidden to be violated.
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822)
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)]
The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)
Just to get started.
Lady in las vegas there has been proven more than one shooter!
I want kno how a hand can b found in a backpack b4 a shooting but someone carring ar15 gets all the way in school does his bad deed b4 he is stopped? This has happened many times.
Maybe we need to look at the movies and tv shows they watch, along with the games they play. Guns have always been a constant, but the role media plays in creating these killers need to be explored.
I play video games and watch movies. I also know the difference between right and wrong and fantasy and reality. Yes the guns have always been here. What has changed? Maybe its the meds and the way people are raised.
It influences people and how they think and most don't even realize it or understand how. They are just perfectly entertained and becoming radicalized online.
Ronnie Newton so what youre telling me is i can form a terran dominion empire, and build a bunch of siege tanks, thors, and cloaked people with the ability to call in nuclear strikes, and take over earth? If videogames are influencing me how come i havent tried yet?
What has changed is gun free zones. Go back and look, some schools used to have shooting teams, and taught gun safety in the class room. Now gun free zones literally highlight the best place to commit a crime and not meet any resistance. That is what has changed.
Ronnie Newton it has been proven that movies ,tv, and video games don't make you more violent. It's a fact
I wish one of these shows or one of these politicians would bring up the fact that the US Government and citizens of the US constantly interfere with foreign country elections.
He acts like he has no power and can't do anything to diminish our problems. He should lead, or follow, or get out of the way.
He is one man, the whole system is corrupt.
He is getting out, he is a clean, honest, and a man of integrity, who has come to terms with not being able to clean the filth in D.C.......GO GOWDY
Gary Cahn
Our problem is the CIA and FBI staging these shootings,every single shooting is done by them,not these kids they drug up and use as a stooge
Gary Cahn first time this man hasn’t had an answer he looked so shook it was terrific
He is a representative. He represents the people. He will have an answer when the people (that's you) give him one. So call your representative and give them an answer to diminish your problems.
Had to get a picture of the killer in there when it wasn't necessary at all. They love encouraging others to do the same so they can be famous too.
Same regulations as drivers licence
Chocolate Kyle kulinski Yep.
Driving isn't a constitutionally protected right. Get a first amendment license while you're at it if you don't want to be a hypocrite.
Wheelgun Mike good point
Nothing but respect for Gowdy til I watched this video. Now not so much if he’s going to side with the Left on 2nd Amendment restrictions.
Take these kids off ADHD drugs the REAL issue
Truth Matters Lol. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
Wait ADHD drugs? Lol your concerned about those. How about Alcholol?
not one school with facial / object recognition has ever been breeched .
He equates an ar15 with a shovel. Who elected this guy?
People who value the Bill of Rights
Thank you mike
I'll second that thank you to Mike!
Look David, I hope that you live in your nice house with hopefully a lovely significant other and that your family is healthy and happy. But don't you realize the consequences making the government too powerful? I can tell by your comment alone your view on the matter and think it's despicable.
Yeah, maybe he should have said "some nut driving an assault Prius into a crowd of kids on the playground" instead.
Does he not look like a movie villain ? He should have been in Harry Potter
It’s Mr. Benghazi, Trey Gowdy!
The only man who cares that 7 americans were killed and others left to fight and be wounded while no help was allowed to arrive..
Not Sure Ruskie
Not Sure If only he also cared about American school children being gunned down on a regular basis
Gowdy fully supports changing mental health laws to have the insane locked away - so yes - he cares about kids being gunned down
Gowdy gonna throw us under the bus of magazine capacity? Never thought I’d see the day.
30 Magazine clip, half a second.
Jimbo , you have never fired a weapon in your life. A clip, is not a magazine or vice versa. Half a second? What Hollywood crap are you watching?
Jimbo,.... a magazine and a clip are two different things.
no fast enuff
I thought it was a 30 caliber clip in half a second
Jimbo this is a Ghost Gun.
Instrumentality? This is the first time I have seen Cong. Gowdy be mealy mouth about a issue.
Fully automatic weapons are not illegal. Rather they are heavily restricted.
1:44 that sounds like a challenge 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The problem is not guns, but it is the mental stability of the person using the gun. People have free will, its all how they decide to use it!
Hey... Face The Nation..the pencil made me write cuss words!
People died to protect your rights. Ironic people die when you fail to exercise them.
why dont we go after the big pharmaceutical companies.
Tron Kleds because it brings tonns of money.... liberals want stupid society with no guns, serving them !
Drugs, make ppl stupid
Guns, make ppl able to resist
Libtards LOOOOVE to create controlled chaos.... controlled by them, only!!! This chaos help them to gain more power, and helps them make new steps (finding loopholes to create more anti-gun laws) to disarm ppl!!!
A twelve year old could do their job of reading a TelePrompTer. The difficulty would be that the twelve year old would have more integrity and intelligence.
No debate, shall not be infringed.
In Las Vegas a man killed 85 people and injured over 700 with a can of gas when set fire to the MGM hotel
Disappointing that Trey doesn't understand guns. Shall not be infringed is a very clear statement.
End this debate:
Who will arm the people against its government if said government fails?
The right to keep and bear arms written to ensure that the PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS WELL ARMED!
I think it’s more important to focus on what happened to the young people of America. What changed them? Why do they eat laundry soap? What made them care so little about human life? Did the governments involvment in parental discipline of children play a roll ? It seems young people have no fear of of anything neither parents of police. Or the repercussions of their actions. Millions of baby boomers made it through school without one single mass shooting but now they are almost a daily occurrence. So we have to ask ourselves what happened between then and now.
Baby boomer parents suck and allowed the government to intervene and raise their kids so they could go to work and make money or they didn't make money and worked paycheck to paycheck and the kids were neglected, abused and otherwise not adequately raised to be the fine, upstanding citizen's that society expects them to be.
George Vangordon jr George I think your 100% right
As always very well spoken.
ATF already ruled that bump stocks are perfectly legal. They do not turn semi automatics in the fully automatics.
I would been sad to see Trey retire, he is one of the very few people that I have faith in, in our government today!
As long as the politicians understand they are allowed to talk all they want, but actually passing any new gun laws gets you a revolution you are not prepared to fight.
Why doesn't face the nation interview the police officers who stood down while these children were massacred?
I just lost all respect for Trey Gowdy, in terms of both mental capacity and respect for the constitution.
There is no debate. There is a lack of commitment and a lack of accountability and responsibility. No commitment to our children's safety, no accountability when something horrible happens and almost nobody is taking responsibility for the upbringing of their kids. We have emasculated our country, making it offensive to speak the truth. We've made bullying a crime. We have failed to raise strong men and women. Bullying sucks, but strong people grow from struggle. We are poor on strength and rich on unqualified opinions.
If someone is not being long-winded or off-topic, please don't interrupt to promote the interviewer's own agenda.
and now....to make myself R E A L popular...the truth seldom is but.....EVERY STUDENT from the Florida high school that was questioned just after the shooting said "we thought he'd be the one to do it",We knew he was the shooter" ,We all suspected...etc etc.... SO ..while pointing their young frightened fingers at everybody else for this tragedy let me ask "see something say something"? How many of you complained to the administration ,or called the police? EVEN AFTER the facebook posts? none of you called the local FBI branch? hmmmmm seems it wasn't ALL the fault of law enforcement,his mother,or even the crazy kids......ANY ONE OF YOU COULD'VE PREVENTED THIS...........
That is why Trump is president, we weren't fans, we were just sick of corrupt politicians.
Trey Gowdy showing his true colors.
one of three excellent questioners on the hearings. I marvel at how they "keep their cool" as subject after subject skirt the issue, or just refuse to answer! We haven't heard the last of Cong Gowdy
Barely a minute in and here comes the "DO YOU BACK GUN CONTROL!?" questions
And their are 4 times as many students NOT advocating for gun control BUT the media refuses to cover them. Why do you think that is???
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
All else is treason.
The FBI and local sheriff had multiple ways to stop the school shooter--the fact that they were called about him cutting himself and his committing domestic violence both would have kept him from buying any firearm legally
I really think Trey Gowdy would make a good president
Sorry Trey but a bump stock DOES NOT convert a semi automatic rifle to a fully automatic rifle. You are 100% wrong on that. Look at the definition.
Why are we listening to a bunch of people who don’t even pay taxes or rent?
We have armed guards at our banks to guard our money, armed guards at sporting events to guard our athletes, armed guards at our airports, our celebrities, politicians. Armed guards for our schools? Our children?
Cordes would give up all her rights to feel "safe"
Ronald Reagan said, "We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken Society is to blame rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions".
All politicians do not understand "Shall Not Infringe"
I used to have a lot of respect for Gowdy, but after saying things like bumpstocks turn semi auto into fully auto, a lot of my respect for him is gone.
We need Gowdy to run for president ASAP. Please...
Trey gowdy is the best
if your vote was influenced by a picture on the internet, you shouldn't vote.
His opening statement is patently false. This is the least violent period in America’s history. This generation is, statistically, the safest ever.
