  • After at least 20 people were shot and killed in a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, James shares his sense of heartbreak about the day's events and frustration about the way nothing ever seems to change when it comes to America's rampant gun violence.

    My four-year-old implicitly trusts us. When I pick him up and he is climbing over my shoulders he's not thinking he will be dropped. When he's in my arms he does not suspect injury. Children are innocent to the horrors of the world. If I got that phone call, and didn't immediately go into cardiac arrest I would be looking for the quickest way to end my life. Those families.

      But that’s the thing though @ObraTi PH, you do not have to know them personally in order to grieve with them. But simply, for the fact that they are human beings alone like you and I, you naturally or instantly relate thus, the grief. It’s just very sad to see a country like America, which the rest of the world adore and admire for their works and many opportunities yet, is far back on something so fundamental as this🤦🏾‍♂️…just as James said. We are not machines nor are we some algorithm bound by certain set of rules as to how to respond to situations. Machines do not have instincts, empathy, ‘conscience’ and many other qualities we human beings possess. Which is why on the other hand,in order to solve these problems we need to think like human beings and not machines because situations like these are relatable. If only we are able to grasp this simple concept, many issues in America can be solved including discrimination and race related issues. Then America and world would truly be great. That said, my thoughts and prayers as always goes these families too🙏🏾. I’m truly hurt.💔#AmericaCheckYourself

    43 year old dad in the UK here and I remember being a teen when the Dunblane massacre happened here and the shock and the revulsion and the horror and pain we shared collectively. And then the immediate action which stopped it happening again. There's still violence and our young people in cities have to deal with the threat of knife violence. Indeed, this week I've been reading of a case of some deranged attacker on the subway with a machete; there's footage on UA-cam. It's horrific how he targeted a random stranger. Lives were changed in that case, but no-one died despite dozens being contained in the carriage during that flash of aggression. Had he had a gun...
    Like Corden, I don't see America changing. It's not like people don't know what needs to be done. It's a choice. And to be frank, it's consistent. The lawmakers who would force a rape victim to go through with a pregnancy because they abhor abortion. The politicians who think nothing of families paying hundreds of dollars for basic medication that we get for free in the UK. The companies who pressurise staff not to take annual leave (the only developed country not to give a right to time off). States that still murder its citizens as a punishment for certain crimes. It is consistent that this country puts macho gun ownership above the peace of families, and above the lives of children. Number one cause of child death in America - absence of compassion.

      I’m in the U.K. pal, but I have to pay for my (sub par) medication through taxes and National Insurance, as does everyone I know. Abortion is legal everywhere in the US, so why lie about that? Very strange. Also, do you understand what it is to be a citizen in a republic? They are sovereign, unlike here where the Queen is sovereign and we are subjects. To be sovereign, you have to have the power, therefore you need the tools for power. Why criticise what you don’t understand? To virtue signal. ‘Yeah, I’m super nice because I’m against the brutal murder of children, but I’m not above using their deaths to make me feel good about myself by telling everyone how good I am. Please, just don’t do that. It’s weak af.

      @@Dude0000 Hello. I can answer your points. Our medicine is not sub-par. My wife is in pharma medical research and the opposite would seem to be true. Yes, we pay for national insurance, but whether or not we pay for it, our medicine is free or capped at £10. Compare that with a $100 asthma inhaler or $2.5k for a broken arm.
      Yes, I understand the difference between a republic and a constitutional monarchy, but you need to connect the dots for me between my points about the US and this. Because there are other republics that don't have the same values as the USA.
      I didn't say abortion was illegal so I didn't lie. I'll quote myself 'The lawmakers who would force a rape victim to go through with a pregnancy because they abhor abortion'. When I say 'who would' I'm capturing a desire to change - do you not see that? It's pretty common knowledge so if you don't know then do some research including how access to abortion has been made more difficult.
      Lastly it doesn't make me feel any better about myself talking about this subject. I find it a strange accusation but I suppose it might succeed in getting opponents to shut up if you don't want to hear their arguments. Change happens when people make their voices heard.

It’s been 3 years since the Christchurch massacre and it still haunts me.

    So well spoken James. Coming from Sweden where school shootings is so far from our community, it breaks my heart to see that the supposedly most influential country in the world, fails to recognize and understand what their gun laws does to a community. As I dropped my 7-year old son off at school today, and looked on the calm surroundings his school is located in, I cannot even begin to comprehend how politicians think it is ok that these children who survived the school shooting, will now live in constant fear, and will be scarred for life, and will never be able to think back of their time in primary school as a time of joy and playing with friends. Instead they will be haunted by the memory of seeing their 7-year old classmates being shot and killed right in front of their eyes!! Nowhere else in the world does this happen, so how can the United States of America fail to see what they have become....a nation that when you drop your child off at school, in the back of your mind, you migh think, is this the last time I will see my child alive?

    For American fans watching this I thought it would be worth explaining that James come from a generation and country where we saw a mass shooting in a primary school in Dunblane in Scotland in 1996. It was the deadliest mass shooting in British history. 16 children and a teacher killed. Another 15 injured. The name Dunblane is etched in our memories. Even people who weren't born then know the name. For those at school then it became the thing of our nightmares.
    The government immediately responded to tighten gun laws, to the point that it is now very rare for anyone to legally own guns, or be killed by guns in the UK. Hunting is still permitted, but often clubs will store the guns rather than have them held in personal residences.
    There hasn't been a mass shooting in the UK since.
    Parents in the UK send their children to school without the fear they may not return. Teachers work in environments where they feel safe and worry about drugs and smoking, not hiding from killers.
    It is very hard for us to comprehend that mass shootings are so frequent they rarely make the news, and that no one is willing to do anything to change it.

      A majority if not all the founding articles are based off things the British did that the colonist didn't want the new government to do to them.
      Like it's illegal for military personal to enter and use your home without permission because the British army was doing that without the colonist consent.
      Without guns we'd still be under the British who were abusing the colonist.

      Steve Kerr is the one that led the charge to have armed guards removed from public schools. Yet I bet he sends his kids, if he has any, to a private school. Notice how these things never happen at private schools? I bet they have armed guards at Sidwell Friends. If it's good enough for the politicians' kids to have that security shouldn't it be good enough for the rest of us?

    You know it scares me at the thought of this. When I was younger I would walk right into my school that happened to be in America and not worry about anything remotely bad happening. Now I’m on my last year of high school and I’m scared, I walk into and pray to god that my school won’t be hit. It scares me that when I leave that car to get an education I always have to be alert at the back of my mind that there could be a shooting and I might not make it out. I’m so sorry for those who have lost their children to the massacre that happened in Texas, I can’t imagine the pain your going through. A parent should never ever have to see their child getting put in the ground, they should never have to get a call that says, “They’re a victim in the shooting and their gone.” The utter shock these parent would have to go through that their child who they left at school for a while is gone. I agree with James, there probably won’t be a change and it will happen again. I’m so sorry if you’ve lost a child or anyone to a shooting.

    Let's be honest: these shootings are not even a surprise anymore. I'm not from the US nor do I live there, so shootings like this are so far out of my day to day life, but I read about them all the time. And so, even though my heart goes out for the poor kids and the families, my head sometimes just shrugs and thinks that this is just another one. One more on the list. Nothing special.
    And it is extremely sad that such horrendous events became somewhat normality.
    So I beg the people from the US: do something against weapons. Do something against this madness. This should never, NEVER be normality. Its your children that are dying. 18 more unnecessary deaths. 18 more children who couldn't fulfil their dreams.
    The solution is not more guns. All the other countries don't have this enormous problem. Do they have more guns? Do all people in Germany, France, Sweden, Japan, India, Australia... run around armed till under their teeth? NO! They simply have very strict regulations. The causality is very clear. More guns=more people getting shot. Less guns=less people getting shot.
    So please, end this.

    I'm from France and it's quite shocking for me that nothing changed in the US with Gun control. That you allow a 18 something to have a military riffle but that he can't like drink for instance... I know drinking isn't the most like best example but its crazy for me. You are clearly not a full grown adult at 18. So why do you give a child the possibility to own that type of gun? Any gun for that matter. And don't get me started on mental health... All of the mass shooting killer were clearly in need of therapy to do an act so brutal at that age... but did that affect them to get their hand on a gun. Absolutely not. I love your country don't get me wrong. But this is shameful.
    AND don't give me the same BS like we need that type of gun for hunting to explain something like that or it's my right to own that type of gun! I had the impression that the thrill of hunting was to chase any animal not to like turn it in gruyere. AND the lobby of gun isn't just a republican thing.

I ask all my friends who own AR-15’s, “Why”? The answer is always the same “because it’s my right and I want one”.

The saying that when you only have seconds to act and police are minutes away is not a fairytale. It happens in almost every violent crime. Seconds matter and our only line of defense are ourselves. That 5-10 minute interval before police arrive will determine who walks out of the conflict alive.
      And because the use of illegal guns is used in the majority (and I do mean the majority 90%) of gun-related crime, taking away the firearm of the law-abiding citizen will cripple any chance of fighting back. This also applies to people who aren’t physically capable of fighting, for example, a 120lb woman versus a 200lb man. She is going to die by the seeing of his arm. However, bullets don't differentiate; they can level the playing field for her. What used to be no chance of becoming the victor now has significantly increased due to using a firearm.
      The use of a firearm has been recorded to have saved up to 3 million people per year, compared to 19 384 homicides per year. Or 0.006461 when factoring in the lives saved versus lives lost.
      There are plenty of examples online, such as the famous example of a single mother with her infant son. They were home alone, and a burger broke into her house, she called 911, and it took them 10 minutes to get to her residence. Thankfully she shot the burglar in self-defense, saving herself and her infant son. The police showed up 7 minutes later. She would have been dead; otherwise, without the firearm, and so would the infant.

      @@ninounino4552 Aside from your insinuations and arrogant tone, you have a good point. In the past I have referred to the shooters in other incidents as terrorists because they told us what motivated them but in this case I do not know yet what motivated this kid. However, his actions before the shooting and the act itself do make him a terrorist in my opinion. I stand corrected. By the way, I'm agnostic and think all religions are equally silly and I don't have anything against arabs. I was vocal in my opposition to the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and I am appalled by any discrimination or persecution of muslims.
      edit: Also, I just reread my original comment and see that I did not even use the word "shooter". I said "shootings" so you're point wasn't even applicable to what I said. However, I still think you raised an important point. I hope you realize we're on the same side: humanity.
