@@annek1226 If only it were so simple, but take into account the brainwashing and the gerrymandering, and the fight can feel tiresome. At the end of the day, this is all beyond voting. It’s about morals.
Imagine the global paranoïa kids will go through when going to school. How do you expect them to learn and be smart? APPALLING. Government is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex ~ Frank Zappa?
Because AR-15s where banned and mandatory background checks where in place when Columbine happened. We are tired of solutions that aren't working. While you're wasting our time real people are being murdered.
I'm a teacher in Austria and because of news like this, some kids (not many, just a few) have asked me whether we were going to have panic buttons or active shooter drills and the idea absolutely terrifies me. I always tell them that it would be one of the saddest days if we ever needed those things at our schools...
I live in the US. I saw a news special recently about a high school that spent $400,000 on panic buttons for all the teachers, speakers and cameras in every hallway that broadcast straight to the police dept., ballistic glass for the windows, and even smoke screens that rain down from the ceilings. The news report acknowledged that it was expensive and not every school would be able to afford it, but touted it as "a potential solution," reminding audiences that many schools spend even more on sports programs. I'm so ashamed of my country.
This broke me. To think that our problem is so bad that innocent children around the world are even in fear, it makes me sick. I’m so ashamed of these so called “leaders”
Oh please! If any of those parents had guns and managed to get themselves in the school, they could have taken out the shooter. Guns are necessary to stop evil people. Jimmy is just a sound piece for the left agenda
i can feel the pain of the parents, too.... but its their own failure to let this happen, because they love the NRA and the GOP so much, they are ready to sacrifice their own children to them!
Dear Mr. Kimmel, Thank you for using your platform to address this horrific topic. I am a grandmother of six who go to public schools and a mother of teachers who teach in those same schools. Together we can stop this agony, but only together. You are speaking for so many, the majority, and from your heart, and I thank you. God bless
From Australia, my heart is broken for every single American and especially those in Texas. It’s time for change. No parent should ever bury their own child.
keep getting beaten in your own streets without any protection for being outside during covid when your government told you not to...I'll keep my guns, tyvm.
It is worth mentioning, there is another prong to this problem. Mental Health. This country is the ONLY developed country to NOT have universal healthcare. Heck, even Mexico has it. This won't end with millions of untreated mentally unstable people running around.
So sorry...so sorry; A kindergarten child shouldn't have to fight an ar15; Or should they.....It will happen again...and..again..unfortunately; We didn't learn anything from Sandyhook; Columbine...etc...
I’m from Sweden and all we read about are the shootings in your country , we have our own problems but when a person goes in to an elementary school and shoots little kids something need to be done. I cannot imagine the pain 💔 respect to Jimmy for talking about these things and using his platform to shed light on a very serious problem
From another European: exactly the point. In Europe, we're used to spend the whole of our lives without ever needing or wanting a gun. Nobody that I know owns a gun. Nobody needs it. We have the freedom to go outside, live our lives, have fun, go to major cities or small villages, unarmed. That is real freedom. That is true freedom. Not having to worry about surviving, having to carry weapons to have some feeling of safety. I could never live in a country like the US, ever. It is insane.
Watching this from Australia, you cannot help but feel the raw emotion and devastation watching all these videos and news stories. Our hearts break for you and what this is doing to your country. It's incomprehensible. Let's hope your government wakes up fast. Sending love & hope. ❤
Also from Australia. Our government reps may be slaves to foreign interests, but no one here (including govt representatives) is pro-gun access. I can only imagine the sh#+-show if a single elected representative ever spoke in favour of gun ownership. We still remember Port Arthur. We don’t need 20 reminders every SIX months
I have lived in Dunblane, Scotland. I was a teacher: though not in the same school. I stand with every word Mr.Kimmel said. This kind of incident can leave a scar on the soul of the town where it occurs.
I had a son 7 months ago and I’m 19 years old. There have been 4 major shootings in my life involving elementary schools and high schools. This had brought me to tears. I pray for the family’s and the dedicated parents are going through this. These baby’s will never be forgotten.
And to the gunmans family! Especially his grandma, who got shot by her own grandson. Adam Lanza shot his mother before Sandy Hook. I can't get over the suspicion, that the gunman was somehow inspired by Lanzas cruelity
This monologue needs to be shown on every network. Well said Jimmy, big respect to you for using your platform to ATTEMPT to action some form of positive change.
@@robertI153 he’s aware of that but praying helps people cope if your an atheist that’s cool but understand people want to pray as it gives them hope I get where your coming from but understand we’re they’re coming from
As a second grade teacher and an elementary school teacher for 22 years, I am scared, sad, furious and overcome with empathy. Thank you for being real Jimmy.
You are more likely to be stabbed to death in Russia than shot dead in the US, Russia has banned handguns since the 1920's yet it has always been the most violent country in Europe and in the 90's it was the most murderous country in the world
i was heartbroken when a child called 911 several times and was being told police were there but not being rescued right away. I can’t imagine calling for help and not getting it right away! So terrifying so enraging! They shouldn’t have waited so long and it breaks my heart for all the teachers and little kids who lost their life. Now the survivors will have this memory forever. So heartbreaking. Hearing a little kid describe an adult situation is so sad. They don’t know that the Gunman was evil. You know? Their so innocent. I wish these kids nothing but true happiness who survived. It’s not fair that they witnessed true evil.
When late night hosts in this country represent us better than those who are actually suppose to represent us, we are f*cked. This was heart wrenching to watch, Jimmy. Thank you for saying what so many of us are feeling.
I'm glad me and my family live in Belgium. I cannot imagine how it must feel knowing your children aren't safe at school. May you Americans have the courage to stop this insanity once and for all.
we have the courage. We don't have the legislative power that the subhumans in the NRA and gun lobby do. That's the problem. We were done for when corporations were ruled to have the same rights as people.
I'm a Belgian, living in Australia now. I have never held a gun in my life, have never seen a gun shop in Belgium or Australia. I'm sure they exist, but it's a rare thing. It's the familiarity with guns of all sorts that is the problem in America, and the fact that kids are allowed and encouraged to get trained to use them. Getting guns as Xmas presents. Assault weapons are like totally normal every-day objects/utensils. Madness. It must be that Americans can't understand anymore how strange of a situation that is.
@@ronnie_5150 One question as a german: what is wrong with 'liberal'? I had Latin at school and as far as I remember, it means free. I remember times, when freedom was a value for Americans. The threat of being shot by a Psycho with an assault rifle does not make kids feel free. My condolences to the families!
It’s very sad, Jimmy. It’s very sad. No parent should have to go through that. No brother, no sister, no grandparents, no one should have to go through that.
Imagine the global paranoïa kids will go through when going to school. How do you expect them to learn and be smart? APPALLING Government is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex ~ Frank Zappa?
Jimmy you always stepped up with your heart on your sleeve to address these terrible events that happen in our country. I feel your sincerity and sorrow, we all do, Thanks for being a Man, a Human and Voice that calls it out like he sees it and uses his platform to raise the rally cry for change. I have watched you since your days on MTV You have always been a good person and I am glad we have you around to speak up about these issues.
According to some people, sacrifices are needed to keep Americans safe. And as long as they don't know the people killed, they're fine with this situation.
Jimmy is a good man with a passionate heart. His kids must grow up to understand not only how much they are love but how much they should be proud of their father!
Lmao, surely your new to Jimmy Kimmel cuz judging by your comment u don’t know him very well, he’s a selfish jerk who will spout lies and vilify anybody who he doesn’t agree with, and he says what u wanna hear but doesn’t really mean it.
MISS JOY, I AM NOT AN EDUCATOR YET, I DONT KNOW ABOUT BEING AN ADULT BUT I DO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TO BE ONE THING FOR YOUR STUDENTS, BE THEIR BEACON OF HOPE. "DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!" BE THEIR STRENGTH. THERE HAVE BEEN 27 SCHOOL SHOOTINGS AND SO DO NOT ALLOW THE FEAR TO CORRUPT YOUR SOUL.
please, arm yourself, learn to use it, practice with it regularly and don't tell anyone you are carrying it. I hate guns but it's the only answer til they fix this.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for using your public platform to speak upon this. I’m from San Antonio, where these angels where transferred to for their medical emergencies. Regardless, being a Texan is something I’ve always been proud of until recent horrific, heinous, and completely predictably and preventable events.
How about instead of being proud from some place people come from We are proud to be decent human beings. The tribalism and fake pride in the USA is part of the cause. It never stops them and us. RIP children.
Im from Connecticut only 45 miles from Sandy Hook and my daughter was the same school age as the angels lost there. I can’t believe that this is continuing after almost 10 years and the same talking points are being said over and over again. Enough is Enough! Like Jimmy I am emotionally in a daze and I had to talk to my now 14 year old daughter today explaining my personal experiences when picking her up from school that day. She remembered that my husband and I wanted her to sleep with us in our bed that night and enjoyed the cuddles while we hid our tears. This is it! I decided to get involved with voting this year and pushing others to get this suckers out who do nothing.
From Australia.. This has to stop. It's disgraceful that Americans have to live under these circumstances. Change must come. You're a great man for championing this Jimmy. Respect and love brother
I'm fully with you and I fully understand you and your point, but sadly I don't think the American people are really ready for this change. They take their right to carry guns so strongly.
I'd rather live under "these circumstances" than the tyranny of Australia. You morons allowed the government to disarm you. Now only the government and criminals have protection. More people die under tyranny than will EVER be killed in mass shootings. History isn't on your side.
Some of you might not like Jimmy Kimmel, but one thing about him is that he never stays quiet when something like this happens, and he's never wrong about these things. I've always respected him because he never holds back. We need people with his honesty in politics. We need gun control on a federal level, not this state-by-state bullshit.
Thank you for articulating what so many of us are feeling. I am not an American but as a human being I grieve for the families of those lost. Keep speaking Jimmy, you are right on.
Trust me: we, as Europeans, sometimes give the USA a hard time and tease you. But every time something like this happens, it hurts us tremendously. It’s gut wrenching and we sincerely hope you can overcome this. God bless and love. Stay safe brothers😘
When I was teaching, this was always my greatest fear. My heart breaks for the parents, first responders, families and friends of the lost. I moved from Nevada to Texas to be closer to family about a year ago, and am absolutely aghast at the words and actions of Abbott and Cruz. You better believe their offices will be hearing from this mother of nine and grandmother of ten. Enough is enough!
A grandma lives alone and has her home broken into. The robber has a knife. The grandma is unarmed. She is robbed and loses everything. OR. The grandma pulls out a gun and says get out of my house. She keeps her things, and justice is served. You choose whether grandma is robbed or not.
@@strantzy2006 hm, how about to give this person a well paid job, so he/she dont need to rob homes? or if this person been in prison before, teach them some skills they can use outside to their and public benefits, works in Europe.... but you are from the USA, you are not smart enough to understand my arguments!
Heartfelt thank you to Jimmy for his genuine and human response. And to his staff for the powerful and pointed editing of the clip's ending. Blessings to the families.
I just noticed and realized that he always speaks out when something needs to be said, when the voiceless need a voice Jimmy a real one 💯 👏 Wish our politicians had half the bravery Jimmy shows
As much as I look forward to your always entertaining comedic monologue, this message was so much more important and needed to be delivered. Very well done Jimmy.
Haven't even started the video and I know I'm going to cry. One thing jimmy has always been amazing at with these is speaking from the heart and not mincing his words. Much respect.
Thank you, Jimmy, for saying exactly what we were praying you would say and exactly needed to be said. Only our anger will carry us through this to force the changes we need, not thoughts and prayers. We need people like you to lead us in a sustained protest against these corrupt politicians. Please!
I didn't see you being angry when you had enslaved blacks for centuries and stripped of their rights...i didn't see your anger when you went to other countries and killing their innocent children...it's very hypocritical of you to even post this when you live of other's children blood..
You know as a Canadian, it’s like watching a dysfunctional family living next door. Schools should not need armed guards. Stats show legislation works. I have no words for what is happening in America. This is political and anyone who says it’s not is in denial. Your children should live past school age. Praying for the families that have been ripped apart.
The Texas shooter violated a multiplicity of gun laws. The suggestion that more gun laws would have prevented this act of unspeakable evil is unsupported, and the implication that those who oppose such laws are somehow in favor of mass shootings is morally reprehensible.
To prevent this incident from happening again american lawmakers must have balls to repeal the second amendment. Majority of the nations have strict gun laws especially japan and china. Do you heard frequent mass shootings in these countries?
As an australian, i really feel sorry for the people in your country that can actually see how broken the system is and want to change it. It is truly mind boggling that there are so many that cant see it, or dont want to.
Yeah, it is quite mind boggling. It is terrifying just how programmed people can be to think a certain way. A bunch of rich/powerful people convinced several generations that gun ownership is a right that supplants all other rights. They convinced people that the world was a scary place, so they needed a gun to be safe, and that it was a way to prevent the government from going rogue. Deprogramming people takes a lot. It has taken me years to change my way of thinking.
As an American, we really don't give a crap what Australians think. Your own government forced you to stay in your homes during covid because you have nothing to protect yourself against them with. Stay in your lane
I appreciate your words. Most of us are frustrated wit the situation here. I don't think I've been as angry about the situation until now. Too many people in power beholden to the gun makers and gun lobbyists.
As a father of an 8 year old boy this sickens me and breaks my heart. Old men wielding their power to make money is bringing this country down and they need to be stopped immediately. We can’t let this event or any of these horrific events turn into old news while more people die.
Old men wielding power?? Put the MSM down and start looking into the truth. 18 year old, living with his grandmother, poor as dirt gets 2 rifles worth 6000 USD, body armor, optics and a fully loaded truck worth 70000 USD, who was going to a therapist who specialized in hypnosis.... where was the mother and father??? He was mexican/transgender pushed into a mentally ill state for years.... you are watching a MOVIE.. wake up!
@@erospawn again, due to our horrible gun policies. Gangs wouldn't have these guns if they weren't legal. This would be the easiest way to lock up a gang member as soon as you see an illegal gi in their hand.
@@erospawn People like you are pathetic. You're always saying "But did you say that about (insert event)." How does that do any favors? How does that contribute to anything? How can you even ask that based on an assumption that they haven't? Pointless.
Of all the late night hosts, Jimmy took this issue the most seriously. I really appreciate his honesty and heart. I've watched this twice, and I just don't understand how people can justify assault weapons when children are blown to pieces beyond recognition. How heartless do you have to be to love your assault weapon more than the lives of children? 50 Senators can fix this.. but blood money is more important to them..
No , our legislators can’t fix the societal, cultural and political issues that lead to these killings and the killings of thousands of people of color who are killed every year in our country!
You don't even begin to imagine how shocking this is for the rest of the world. Choosing guns over people. It's so difficult to understand for free countries where people don't own guns, where sometimes not even the police carry guns. The fact that this is still being discussed instead of addressed is simply horrifing to us.
America has a crowd called Conservatives and Republicans, who also claim to be Christian, if you can believe that delusion, that only want to remain in power to enrich themselves. America is going down the drain!
It’s horrifying to us, too. So, so many Americans like myself are frustrated and scared and angry at our government and the fact that they’re not doing anything. We feel powerless. Don’t get me wrong there’s a lot of gun crazy Americans, but like Jimmy said the vast majority of us want these laws to be passed.
@@Lamsus854 I am so sorry Liam, I really hope things change. I don't know how to say this, and I don't mean to offend, please don't take me wrong but why wasn't everyone on the streets the day after, protesting?

@Edgar Prothero right you are and yes I do remember the 60s. Barely but I do remember. Government must be changed. A term limit on our political offices would be a start.
THE BOTTOM LINE is the Repugnant party are more interested in holding power to their office and getting NRA money💰 for their wealth and luxury instead of helping the victims and to solve this problem with gun control, no one is saying get rid of guns but to have some background check for the safety of all people to solve and save lives, cause there's alot of mental people and with an AR 15 is like a ticking time bomb, Sad 😩 and that's the bottom line!

Really impressed with the seriousness and airtime given to this, if only more media outlets actually stopped to deliver tragic news we might not be as jaded by tragedy.
We also shouldn’t forget about the 800 people murdered in Chicago in 2021, that is shameful that our country allows it to happen and doesn’t even care to fix it. It should not be the status quo.
No, if only Texans were smart enough NOT to vote for Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott. But they’re not. They’re going to keep voting them in and keep voting for republicans. I feel sorry for the kids who lost their lives and their futures. I feel sorry for the parents who didn’t vote for Cruz and Abbott. But for the ones who did vote for them, I have no sympathy. They deserve this
From Sweden. My heart is broken for every family that lost a family member in all these mass shootings. 27 mass shootings in 21 weeks, that´s not freedom! Armed guards at schools, that´s not freedom! Send children to school and be worried about mass shootings, that´s not freedom! Own a weapon to defend yourself, that´s not freedom! You can buy a gun when you are 18 but not beer. Weapons are legal in all countries but there are laws. Your leaders know it but are too cowardly to do anything about it
> Armed guards at schools, that´s not freedom! What about people in power and politicians? They all have armed guards. > Send children to school and be worried about mass shootings, that´s not freedom! You should be more worried when driving your kid to school since more children die in fatal car crashed than in school shootings. > Own a weapon to defend yourself, that´s not freedom! Tell that to Taliban and Vietnamese. > You can buy a gun when you are 18 but not beer. And? > Weapons are legal in all countries but there are laws. This isn't true at all.
@@crossrhodes14 -Classic whataboutism. People in power and politicians aren't children in grade school so these two aren't remotely comparable. -Actually, gun deaths just overtook car crashes as the leading cause of death amongst US children, so maybe we should address that instead of being feckless cowards. -This isn't Afghanistan and I must have missed the news articles about all the mass shootings in Vietnam. I love this mentality that some people have that they constantly need to be strapped to defend themselves. Like, who do you think you are? Who's out to get you exactly? You're NOT that important. There aren't gangs of people waiting around every corner to attack you. -And that's incredibly stupid. If kids that age can't be trusted with a Bud Light then they shouldn't be trusted with deadly weapons. -This country's laws about weapons clearly aren't working since this problem is older than I am (and I was born in the 1980s) and only seems to be getting worse. We can't just keep doing absolutely nothing and trodding out the same tired 'thoughts & prayers'.
@@Urmom-mm6dk I personally would start by reinstating the assault weapons ban as well as the ban on high capacity magazines. These didn't fix the problem before but they definitely helped, which is backed by statistics. After that, they should institute a voluntary buyback program at the federal level, which has worked well in other countries like Australia and has worked well here when they tried it on a smaller scale within states. No one's ever going to get rid of guns entirely in this country (nor should they) and this problem certainly won't be fixed quickly, but we badly need to reduce the number in circulation and make it much harder for people to get a hold of them so easily.
My heart breaks thinking of the families that are broken forever. Imagine going to your child’s school and seeing I.C.E. there: fearing of your child’s well-being while also fearing what the outcome of just showing up there.
Our country is so embarrassing. The fact that ICE was there at this tragedy shows just how far we have fallen from any kind of moral standing that was gained after Civil Rights.
They didn't care. Theyvall ran toward the school. Not caring about being deported, just that their kid was alive. The Border Patrol didn't care to deport anyone yesterday.
I'm a crossing guard and everyday I try to keep kids safe. I can't wrap my head around the mindset of government officials that put kids lives at risk through their inaction and ignorance.
David: I agree wholeheartedly. I just cried all day when this happened. Those in Congress who will not pass the laws on assault weapons care more about their jobs, as they are in the pockets of the NRA and the gun lobby. Shame on these spineless senators, as well as Governor Abbott!
@@anonymousjohnson976 You do realize that there was a 10 year federal assault weapons ban. 1994 to 2004. Studies showed it didn't do anything. There was no evidence that showed a decrease in crime or shootings. Because rifles in general are rarely used in crimes. It doesn't work.
The most famous line in “Killing Them Softly” movie: “United States is not a country, it’s a business!” That is why the gun control issue will not be fixed.
I wont be fixed because this is the only time we talk about it , the amount of people shot killed across america day to day is crazy. You could probably connect most of them to young people probably over 80% and also connect them to gangs , bullying, mental health issues. It's not gun management its people our youth that need control.
Wasn't Kimmel trashing Trump for 4 years (and still continues to do so), and showed his support for Biden and voted for him to kick Trump out of the Office, and contributed to put this very competent politician as the President? What has he or Obama (in 8 years of presidency) done for this never ending problem? Nothing? Then, what's the difference of who's the President? it's been 23 years since Columbine, and NOTHING has changed, whether it was a Republican or a Democrat in Office. And correct me if I'm wrong, it may be a coincidence, but during Trump's term, there were less mass shootings than during Obama's term (the first or second one), and Biden's, so far. I repeat, it may be a coincidence, but I'm just saying, even now that Biden is the President, things are not any better. And he seems to not be able to do something about it, just like Obama couldn't, in 8 years. So I'm asking, what's the difference of who's in the Office?
I absolutely support gun bans (no reason why a citizen should own an AR) but I cannot stand the fake tears and acting from Hollywood and people like Jimmy.
I just wish we could have less polarizing idiots to be the face of gun control. If there were more people that have proven to be honest operators with politics (not anyone from MSM or late night shows) that could be the face of gun control, then we could bring the left and right together politically and socially and create the movement that America needs.

Best statement ever, you want a 18 year old that works in fast food to be running around with a assault weapon ! These people that are doing nothing in the Senate are idiots !
This was the most erudite and heart felt response to the shootings in Uvalde. As a Brit who was around when Dunblane, Scotland happened in 1986 and Hungerford in 1987, I was sickened by the effect of irreverent and lax use of the gun laws in our country. But no right-minded, sane and compassionate individual person would every feel that tightening gun laws in this country was not the right thing to do. The USA is, in the eye of the WORLD, so backward in it's ideology. It aspires to greatness, to be the beacon for every country to follow, but how far it falls short in this one simple position. It's politicians would rather see children and teachers brutally killed than have the courage to wield a pen to stop this insanity. Basing a whole political ideology on a 230+ year old document that includes an AMENDMENT to its original constitution just seems, to the sane first world countries, as simply bizarre. Should we, as Britain's, rely on the doctrine of the Magna Carta of 1215, to define all of our underlying laws and principles? Hell no. We evolve, we move our democracies forward and we hope to become something better than our predecessors. Jimmy, I was humbled by your oratory. Thankfully there is some flickering of belief that people, wherever they are from, have the compassion to be a friend unto friend. Unfortunately the political agenda in the US is influenced by too many specialist groups that aim to distort the original OVER-RIDING ethos of your founding fathers. My heart goes out to those that suffered in this last week and to any American who feels that change must happen.
So well articulated. It is so maddening to be on the other side of the world and to see such senseless heartache and know that nothing you say will change it.
@@victoriadelaney1123 Oh please! If any of those parents had guns and managed to get themselves in the school, they could have taken out the shooter. Guns are necessary to stop evil people. Jimmy is just a sound piece for the left agenda

It’s absolutely disgusting, ppl who have the power to make changes by changing laws and they choose not to just to keep there pockets full. They all have blood on there hands and I hope they feel that guilt.
A safe school isn't one that has an armed security personnel, its one that doesn't need to have it in the first place. Make America safer, its sickening how you could smile while signing those bills.
Having armed security would be an immediate deterrent that would help while we focus on mending our culture. The fact we don't have that standard by now is insane to me.
Exactly! Elementary schools should be a family/kid friendly environment where learning can happen and inspire young minds. The very very very and I mean very last thing that should go on in a kid’s mind is will I get killed today.
@@wildbanana5628 Well what it should be isn't what we have. So immediate effective change would be to establish armed security in schools nationally and to require metal detectors at every entrance. School shootings will be stopped at the gate if they ever happen again after that. SO WHY AREN'T WE DOING IT!?
Jimmy you always know how to jerk tears out of me. Love your speech dude. This is exactly how I feel and honestly I hope most others feel this way too.
“This is not a time for moments of silence this is a time to be loud, and to stay loud and to not stop until we fix this.” And he’s absolutely right. I think this video sums up how most of us normal empathetic people feel about this awful situation.

You are more likely to be stabbed to death in Russia and other eastern Europe countries than shot dead in the US, Russia has banned handguns since the 1920's yet it has always been the most violent country in Europe and in the 90's it was the most murderous country in the world
Why aren't you all talking about Chicago and the 50 people a week that get shot !! been going on for years !! or the fact these murdering cowards are liberals and raised by liberals !!
I'm so sad for my American neighbours(Canadian spelling). I'm about half way through my life and have always loved my time in the US, never met a person I didn't like. But man, I'm worried for everyone there. Thanks for saying what needed to be said Jimmy. My heart goes out to you all, I wish I could vote!

@@thekalenichannel1812 Yes, because Ted Cruz is for murdering children, and the NRA supports mass shootings. How about you do some research instead of having your information spoon fed to you by the media and Hollywood celebrities. Did you go check out what Kim Kardashian thinks on Twitter after watching Kimmel?
"Some people say it's a mental health problem, others say it's a gun problem. It's both, it can be both, so let's work on both." YES, THANK YOU JIMMY! About time someone comes out and says it's not one or the other, but both!
It's a gun problem can't have mass shootings without the guns. There are people inc kids mental health issues across the world, other countries have it a lot worse imaginr their mental health. Yet you don't see nowhere near as many school shootings anywhere in the world not even remotely close. Because nowhere else can you buy guns like the US. The texas governer literally called for more people to get guns because they were 2nd to California, age was also reduced 21 to 18, and he boasted about not needing a license or training.
True, but you will never eliminate mental health issues, nor can you pick up every case. That's why background checks and restrictions are the only way to minimise the no. of cases.
As an indian, who have never even seen or heard how a gun sounds in his entire life. This is truly devastating. This tragedy brought me to tears. Unfortunately these incidences are all too common in the US because of how easily and readily guns are made available to the general public. In my country, you have to undergo several trainings and assessment in order to get a legal gun. You also need to draft an essay showcasing your need for a gun. These are very preventable tragedies if only your leaders would listen. Also, Ted cruz is a moron.
Considering what I’ve read recently about India, the types of religions that you practice which involve cannibalism and your chaste society, I’ll take my country with my guns. At least here we don’t consume each other in the name of religion. And we don’t have class order based upon birth.
One day Ted Cruz will say that please send your children in bulletproof vests to school, otherwise keep them at home and continue their learning through online education.
Mayank Singh, I’m sure he sends his kids to a private school with protection for them so nothing will happen to them. Unfortunately America dosent have the money or want to spend more money for the protection of the kids and teachers. Well they want the teachers to pay for their own guns and training. That’s not what they went to school for. I’m sure one day when the go to school it will be mandatory to take self defense and classes cops take for self defense.
Mayank Singh, also my son was in the 9th grade and had to do online school because of Covid-19 with no vaccine and he did well better cause there was no distractions it was just him and the school’s provided lab top watching the teacher I’m fortunate to make sure he stayed focused.
When a late night comedian has more empathy and common sense than the Republicans in Texas, we know that we are in a bad place. Thanks Jimmy for you heartfelt, bold and honest comments. But, gun reform will not be had in the United States until Americans start to love children more than they love their guns.
And politicians who love the NRA $$, gun owner $$. My eldest daughter was accidentally shot, 30 years ago, by her 7 year old cousin. Lock up laws need to be had, everywhere. They are now laws where I live.
France had over 400 people slaughterd in mass killings in the past 7 years which is far more than the US and for a population almost 6 times smaller, 2015 150 people murdered by the suicidal german pilot Andreas Lubitz when he crashed his plane in the Alps near the city of Nice 2015 131 people gunned down in the Paris attacks , 90 of which were attending a heavy metal concert and the rest were at a soccer game attendented by the french president ,2 restaurants and a café 2015 17 people shot dead among them Charlie Hebdo journalists and kosher market customers 2016 86 people murdered by a killer that ran them over with a rental 19-tonne cargo truck during a Bastille Day parade in Nice 2019 3 police officers and an employee stabbed to death by police coworker 2020 Woman beheaded and 2 others killed by a knifeman in a church in Nice
You are more likely to be stabbed to death in Russia and other eastern Europe countries than shot dead in the US, Russia has banned handguns since the 1920's yet it has always been the most violent country in Europe and in the 90's it was the most murderous country in the world
@@ace2311 I know it seems crazy for some that tragedies bring people to the brink of tears more than once in their lives. But people with empathy kinda work like that, don't be shocked if he's emotional about massacres in the future either. Not everyone can be a proud psychopath, unaffected by all.
What even more disturbing is that this is happening more and more in Canada. I'm just glad that there is no Canadian equivalent to America's 2nd Amendment in our Constitution.
God Bless Jimmy and others with a platform for speaking out for the children and families and schools in our country. Gun control is necessary and needed now.
So if he went in there with a knife would u demand “Knife Control”? Stripping ppl from there right to bear arms isn’t the answer to these problems. The main problem is that School Boards like to focus more on CRT and Gender Identity instead of student safety, Schools shouldn’t have 100 different entrances, we should have more Law Enforcement on School Grounds, we should also have a better working mental health system that can help these troubled individuals, Republicans and the NRA aren’t the ones to blame, it’s the School Boards and the Democratic Party.
Funny, you really think gun control can stop what is going in the US? It is way too late for that. You can do 10,000 background check and people can still buy ghost guns. How do you stop those?
@@bic255 no but the issue is not going to be solved so easily by just gettin rid of guns and this is coming from someone who doesn't agree with it either
@@bic255 We should try and turn our attention where we lost 38,000 lives annually. This also injured 4.4 million people. Some are injured to the point that they are unrecognizable. We need to ban automobiles. Why should one more person die? Guns deaths are a miniscule when compared to car deaths. There is no Constitutional Amendment protecting the use of cars.
It’s good to see that so many Americans are finally starting to see what those of us outside the country have seen. It’s just very saddening to know that it will probably lead to nothing, like always. It’s like Jimmy said, people move on with their lives and the Republicans and NRA are able to get back to business as usual.
no…lots of us are very much aware. Those Americans you see in the media who have chosen guns over children do not represent all of us. We’ve been wanting change since forever and had multiple protests
@@nxopinxopi7540 that’s not how it works. There are various senators depending on states. in majority red states, where they EXTREMELY value guns, they vote for senators with the same ideals.However in blue states ppl want gun control but nothing really can be done unless our government does something
There are so many things I could say through my tears right now, but I doubt it's much different than what thousands others have already expressed here. So I just want to say thank you so much for using your voice and platform to passionately express what so many of us have been shouting for years but our voices continue to go unheard. I absolutely adore you, Jimmy. Please keep speaking common sense to the people in power who ignore us in favor of power and money.
It’s kind of like déjà vu… unfortunately, I’ve watched this same monologue time and time again. I’m so sorry jimmy. I’m so sorry to to the families and everybody that this tragedy has affected. I’m praying that action is taken. Our hearts break for you here in Canada
Here in Nova Scotia now we are having the inquiry into the mass shootings in Portapique. And its the same questions. How could he have gotten semiautomatic long guns? And pistols?
God bless Jimmy Kimmel. He cares. His tears are so genuine, and reflect the tears of every other parent in America who still has a soul. We should all be so angry and upset, but instead, gun zealots-who are also soulless ghouls-have all of our power. Thank you for speaking for all of us, Jimmy. You’re an imminently good man.
Yes, you may think those idiots have all the "power," but that so-called power can be taken away by YOUR vote. Please vote wisely both during your state's primary AND in November!!! That applies to every person running for ANY office in your local and state elections all the way down to your local dogcatcher and school boards!!!

Because AR-15s where banned and mandatory background checks where in place when Columbine happened. We are tired of solutions that aren't working. While you're wasting our time real people are being murdered.
I'm a teacher in Austria and because of news like this, some kids (not many, just a few) have asked me whether we were going to have panic buttons or active shooter drills and the idea absolutely terrifies me. I always tell them that it would be one of the saddest days if we ever needed those things at our schools...
I live in the US. I saw a news special recently about a high school that spent $400,000 on panic buttons for all the teachers, speakers and cameras in every hallway that broadcast straight to the police dept., ballistic glass for the windows, and even smoke screens that rain down from the ceilings. The news report acknowledged that it was expensive and not every school would be able to afford it, but touted it as "a potential solution," reminding audiences that many schools spend even more on sports programs. I'm so ashamed of my country.
This broke me. To think that our problem is so bad that innocent children around the world are even in fear, it makes me sick. I’m so ashamed of these so called “leaders”
You need drills for all schools!!! It either drills or funerals.
😔
Oh please! If any of those parents had guns and managed to get themselves in the school, they could have taken out the shooter. Guns are necessary to stop evil people. Jimmy is just a sound piece for the left agenda
I sobbed watching this . As a mother, I can’t imagine the pain these parents are forced to endure.
I’m a 16 year old male and even I as a mother can’t imagine the pain these parents are forced to endure.
i can feel the pain of the parents, too....
but its their own failure to let this happen, because they love the NRA and the GOP so much, they are ready to sacrifice their own children to them!
@Louis Dardar - he obviously didn’t word his thoughts correctly. You couldn’t figure that out?
And no one should.
Its beyond imagination. Just ban guns. Be pro life for real.
Dear Mr. Kimmel, Thank you for using your platform to address this horrific topic. I am a grandmother of six who go to public schools and a mother of teachers who teach in those same schools. Together we can stop this agony, but only together. You are speaking for so many, the majority, and from your heart, and I thank you. God bless
Speaking from your heart doesn't save children!
@fabfrenchies1974 neither do thoughts or prayers.
As an educator my heart is with the kids, whose dreams are cut short, what happened is really heartbreaking.
And their parents too 😭
Their lives changed forever
the survivors will suffer forever too
Plus the kids that survived that had to witness their friends getting shot up are gonna suffer so much
It's devastating, the whole world is a painful place right now!
From Australia, my heart is broken for every single American and especially those in Texas. It’s time for change. No parent should ever bury their own child.
Especially for those in Buffalo too, no elderly person shopping in a store deserves to lose their lives over a White Supremacist.
keep getting beaten in your own streets without any protection for being outside during covid when your government told you not to...I'll keep my guns, tyvm.
We keep trying, nothing ever changes.
It is worth mentioning, there is another prong to this problem. Mental Health. This country is the ONLY developed country to NOT have universal healthcare. Heck, even Mexico has it. This won't end with millions of untreated mentally unstable people running around.
Do you feel the same about the children we harm in Palestine and Yemen?

I cannot imagine the pain 💔 respect to Jimmy for talking about these things and using his platform to shed light on a very serious problem
Thanks for the kind words Sadie (Sweden). Much appreciated
Sweden's problem is different
We don't punish crime in america
From another European: exactly the point.
In Europe, we're used to spend the whole of our lives without ever needing or wanting a gun. Nobody that I know owns a gun. Nobody needs it. We have the freedom to go outside, live our lives, have fun, go to major cities or small villages, unarmed. That is real freedom. That is true freedom. Not having to worry about surviving, having to carry weapons to have some feeling of safety.
I could never live in a country like the US, ever. It is insane.
You don’t seem this is Canada either!
Crazy to me that this kid couldn’t legally buy alcohol or rent a car, but he could purchase assault weapons no problem. Our country is sick.
Yup. It's insane!! It's really messed up.
Not just sick. The U.S. is absolutely disgusting and pathetic
Define assault weapon
Yep..Gov Abbott is going to hell, if there is one
Yes it's beyond ridiculous, makes no sense
Watching this from Australia, you cannot help but feel the raw emotion and devastation watching all these videos and news stories. Our hearts break for you and what this is doing to your country. It's incomprehensible. Let's hope your government wakes up fast. Sending love & hope. ❤
Thank you mate (Leigh). These words mean a lot.
Australia gov, in the name of Safety ,i will take ur guns,
Also from Australia. Our government reps may be slaves to foreign interests, but no one here (including govt representatives) is pro-gun access. I can only imagine the sh#+-show if a single elected representative ever spoke in favour of gun ownership. We still remember Port Arthur. We don’t need 20 reminders every SIX months
Yep I wasnt the great John Howard supporter but this he got right. He stood up when he needed to and ensured the safety of Australians

I can’t even begin to imagine the pain these families are going thru. My heart goes out to them
And to the gunmans family! Especially his grandma, who got shot by her own grandson. Adam Lanza shot his mother before Sandy Hook. I can't get over the suspicion, that the gunman was somehow inspired by Lanzas cruelity
It’s time for action. If we can pass voter restriction laws, then we can certainly pass gun restriction laws.

i was heartbroken when a child called 911 several times and was being told police were there but not being rescued right away. I can’t imagine calling for help and not getting it right away! So terrifying so enraging! They shouldn’t have waited so long and it breaks my heart for all the teachers and little kids who lost their life. Now the survivors will have this memory forever. So heartbreaking. Hearing a little kid describe an adult situation is so sad. They don’t know that the Gunman was evil. You know? Their so innocent. I wish these kids nothing but true happiness who survived. It’s not fair that they witnessed true evil.
There's a place in hell for those cowards!

And basketball coaches.
unfortunately almost half of our country, the right, is pure evil. no debate about it anymore.
They don't represent American people, they represent the political power of the infrastructure.
Imagine that thinking with your emotions is good leadership.
no they don't. We NEED more guns. more guns will keep us safe 🇺🇲
I'm glad me and my family live in Belgium. I cannot imagine how it must feel knowing your children aren't safe at school. May you Americans have the courage to stop this insanity once and for all.
Thanks Nico. Tell your Belgian family we appreciate it very much
guns are legal in Belgium . .
@ Yes but they have robust gun control laws.
we have the courage. We don't have the legislative power that the subhumans in the NRA and gun lobby do. That's the problem. We were done for when corporations were ruled to have the same rights as people.
I'm a Belgian, living in Australia now. I have never held a gun in my life, have never seen a gun shop in Belgium or Australia. I'm sure they exist, but it's a rare thing. It's the familiarity with guns of all sorts that is the problem in America, and the fact that kids are allowed and encouraged to get trained to use them. Getting guns as Xmas presents. Assault weapons are like totally normal every-day objects/utensils. Madness. It must be that Americans can't understand anymore how strange of a situation that is.
Such a powerful speech here. Caught this by accident on TV and couldn’t look away. Love and support this message, thanks Jimmy.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for using your public platform to speak upon this. I’m from San Antonio, where these angels where transferred to for their medical emergencies. Regardless, being a Texan is something I’ve always been proud of until recent horrific, heinous, and completely predictably and preventable events.
It sucks that these things have to happen for people to wake up. Sorry what happened to your state. I hope there is change.
How about instead of being proud from some place people come from We are proud to be decent human beings. The tribalism and fake pride in the USA is part of the cause. It never stops them and us. RIP children.
Im from Connecticut only 45 miles from Sandy Hook and my daughter was the same school age as the angels lost there. I can’t believe that this is continuing after almost 10 years and the same talking points are being said over and over again. Enough is Enough! Like Jimmy I am emotionally in a daze and I had to talk to my now 14 year old daughter today explaining my personal experiences when picking her up from school that day. She remembered that my husband and I wanted her to sleep with us in our bed that night and enjoyed the cuddles while we hid our tears. This is it! I decided to get involved with voting this year and pushing others to get this suckers out who do nothing.
See San Antonio does have lookers

I’m Canadian too and feel exactly the same way you do. In my mind the USA is sick and needs to be cured.
amen.
Can you call CPS for America?
The Texas shooter violated a multiplicity of gun laws. The suggestion that more gun laws would have prevented this act of unspeakable evil is unsupported, and the implication that those who oppose such laws are somehow in favor of mass shootings is morally reprehensible.
I'm an American, wondering when the UN is going to intervene here in the US already. 🙅♀️
This is the most heart breaking things to know how many lives have were lost that day. 😣 RIP to the 19 kids and 2 teachers that died that day.
To prevent this incident from happening again american lawmakers must have balls to repeal the second amendment. Majority of the nations have strict gun laws especially japan and china. Do you heard frequent mass shootings in these countries?
I believe a cop was killed and 17 others injured-all by a kid with a really strong gun.
They had to die and that is life
It's up to 26. Just sickening...
@@DarioVidili it’s only 21 ☹️
As an australian, i really feel sorry for the people in your country that can actually see how broken the system is and want to change it. It is truly mind boggling that there are so many that cant see it, or dont want to.
Yeah, it is quite mind boggling. It is terrifying just how programmed people can be to think a certain way. A bunch of rich/powerful people convinced several generations that gun ownership is a right that supplants all other rights. They convinced people that the world was a scary place, so they needed a gun to be safe, and that it was a way to prevent the government from going rogue.
Deprogramming people takes a lot. It has taken me years to change my way of thinking.
As an American, we really don't give a crap what Australians think. Your own government forced you to stay in your homes during covid because you have nothing to protect yourself against them with. Stay in your lane
I appreciate your words. Most of us are frustrated wit the situation here. I don't think I've been as angry about the situation until now. Too many people in power beholden to the gun makers and gun lobbyists.
Its like we are trapped in a car with the alarm blaring and no one does a thing. I have zero faith this will ever change.
As a Texan, thank you for your sympathy. Some of us have been fighting for a long time and with no results.
Say it LOUD Jimmy! Thank You for using your platform to address the horror that is taking our children day after day! Peace from V.A.
As a father of an 8 year old boy this sickens me and breaks my heart. Old men wielding their power to make money is bringing this country down and they need to be stopped immediately. We can’t let this event or any of these horrific events turn into old news while more people die.
Old men wielding power?? Put the MSM down and start looking into the truth. 18 year old, living with his grandmother, poor as dirt gets 2 rifles worth 6000 USD, body armor, optics and a fully loaded truck worth 70000 USD, who was going to a therapist who specialized in hypnosis.... where was the mother and father??? He was mexican/transgender pushed into a mentally ill state for years.... you are watching a MOVIE.. wake up!
Do you say that about all the children killed Chicago and other inner cities almost on a nightly basis?
@@erospawn again, due to our horrible gun policies. Gangs wouldn't have these guns if they weren't legal. This would be the easiest way to lock up a gang member as soon as you see an illegal gi in their hand.
Yes of course. Are you challenging my sincerity or just trolling comments to let everyone know you think guns aren’t the problem?
@@erospawn People like you are pathetic. You're always saying "But did you say that about (insert event)."
How does that do any favors? How does that contribute to anything? How can you even ask that based on an assumption that they haven't?
Pointless.
Of all the late night hosts, Jimmy took this issue the most seriously. I really appreciate his honesty and heart. I've watched this twice, and I just don't understand how people can justify assault weapons when children are blown to pieces beyond recognition. How heartless do you have to be to love your assault weapon more than the lives of children? 50 Senators can fix this.. but blood money is more important to them..
Yep money is reason for this...NRA weilds to much power with republican party...
James Corden did a good one too.
No , our legislators can’t fix the societal, cultural and political issues that lead to these killings and the killings of thousands of people of color who are killed every year in our country!
Crazy this doesn’t happen at airports huh
Jimmy Kimmel is political scum how could you not see right through that?
You don't even begin to imagine how shocking this is for the rest of the world. Choosing guns over people. It's so difficult to understand for free countries where people don't own guns, where sometimes not even the police carry guns. The fact that this is still being discussed instead of addressed is simply horrifing to us.
America has a crowd called Conservatives and Republicans, who also claim to be Christian, if you can believe that delusion, that only want to remain in power to enrich themselves. America is going down the drain!
It’s horrifying to us, too. So, so many Americans like myself are frustrated and scared and angry at our government and the fact that they’re not doing anything. We feel powerless. Don’t get me wrong there’s a lot of gun crazy Americans, but like Jimmy said the vast majority of us want these laws to be passed.

Except some stations in Texas cut him off in the middle.

No, if only Texans were smart enough NOT to vote for Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott. But they’re not. They’re going to keep voting them in and keep voting for republicans.

They deserve this
From Sweden. My heart is broken for every family that lost a family member in all these mass shootings.
27 mass shootings in 21 weeks, that´s not freedom!
Armed guards at schools, that´s not freedom!
Send children to school and be worried about mass shootings, that´s not freedom!
Own a weapon to defend yourself, that´s not freedom!
You can buy a gun when you are 18 but not beer.
Weapons are legal in all countries but there are laws.
Your leaders know it but are too cowardly to do anything about it
> Armed guards at schools, that´s not freedom!
What about people in power and politicians? They all have armed guards.
> Send children to school and be worried about mass shootings, that´s not freedom!
You should be more worried when driving your kid to school since more children die in fatal car crashed than in school shootings.
> Own a weapon to defend yourself, that´s not freedom!
Tell that to Taliban and Vietnamese.
> You can buy a gun when you are 18 but not beer.
And?
> Weapons are legal in all countries but there are laws.
This isn't true at all.
@@crossrhodes14 -Classic whataboutism. People in power and politicians aren't children in grade school so these two aren't remotely comparable.
-Actually, gun deaths just overtook car crashes as the leading cause of death amongst US children, so maybe we should address that instead of being feckless cowards.
-This isn't Afghanistan and I must have missed the news articles about all the mass shootings in Vietnam. I love this mentality that some people have that they constantly need to be strapped to defend themselves. Like, who do you think you are? Who's out to get you exactly? You're NOT that important. There aren't gangs of people waiting around every corner to attack you.
-And that's incredibly stupid. If kids that age can't be trusted with a Bud Light then they shouldn't be trusted with deadly weapons.
-This country's laws about weapons clearly aren't working since this problem is older than I am (and I was born in the 1980s) and only seems to be getting worse. We can't just keep doing absolutely nothing and trodding out the same tired 'thoughts & prayers'.
@@ZachSteere what exactly do you think they should do about it? What laws need to be passed?
Beer should be able to be bought by 18 year olds too.
@@Urmom-mm6dk I personally would start by reinstating the assault weapons ban as well as the ban on high capacity magazines. These didn't fix the problem before but they definitely helped, which is backed by statistics. After that, they should institute a voluntary buyback program at the federal level, which has worked well in other countries like Australia and has worked well here when they tried it on a smaller scale within states.
No one's ever going to get rid of guns entirely in this country (nor should they) and this problem certainly won't be fixed quickly, but we badly need to reduce the number in circulation and make it much harder for people to get a hold of them so easily.
Be loud and stay loud. Well said, Jimmy.
My heart breaks thinking of the families that are broken forever. Imagine going to your child’s school and seeing I.C.E. there: fearing of your child’s well-being while also fearing what the outcome of just showing up there.
What a stupid comment
I hope you are proud of yourself
Our country is so embarrassing. The fact that ICE was there at this tragedy shows just how far we have fallen from any kind of moral standing that was gained after Civil Rights.
Well did they pick up any illegals?
They didn't care. Theyvall ran toward the school. Not caring about being deported, just that their kid was alive. The Border Patrol didn't care to deport anyone yesterday.
I'm a crossing guard and everyday I try to keep kids safe. I can't wrap my head around the mindset of government officials that put kids lives at risk through their inaction and ignorance.
David: I agree wholeheartedly. I just cried all day when this happened. Those in Congress who will not pass the laws on assault weapons care more about their jobs, as they are in the pockets of the NRA and the gun lobby. Shame on these spineless senators, as well as Governor Abbott!
The NRA spends a lot of money to insure inaction and ignorance.
Let's FIRED ALL REPUBLICANS LAW MAKER.
@@anonymousjohnson976 You do realize that there was a 10 year federal assault weapons ban. 1994 to 2004. Studies showed it didn't do anything. There was no evidence that showed a decrease in crime or shootings. Because rifles in general are rarely used in crimes. It doesn't work.
I'm a retired teacher and I know we are not the only ones in the line of fire. Thank you for your service. Stay safe.
The most famous line in “Killing Them Softly” movie:
“United States is not a country, it’s a business!”
That is why the gun control issue will not be fixed.
I wont be fixed because this is the only time we talk about it , the amount of people shot killed across america day to day is crazy. You could probably connect most of them to young people probably over 80% and also connect them to gangs , bullying, mental health issues. It's not gun management its people our youth that need control.
Well mental health issue hasn't been fixed either

We need more people with influence, like your self and Kerr, to speak out and call out our representatives and "leaders"
Wasn't Kimmel trashing Trump for 4 years (and still continues to do so), and showed his support for Biden and voted for him to kick Trump out of the Office, and contributed to put this very competent politician as the President? What has he or Obama (in 8 years of presidency) done for this never ending problem? Nothing? Then, what's the difference of who's the President? it's been 23 years since Columbine, and NOTHING has changed, whether it was a Republican or a Democrat in Office.
And correct me if I'm wrong, it may be a coincidence, but during Trump's term, there were less mass shootings than during Obama's term (the first or second one), and Biden's, so far. I repeat, it may be a coincidence, but I'm just saying, even now that Biden is the President, things are not any better. And he seems to not be able to do something about it, just like Obama couldn't, in 8 years. So I'm asking, what's the difference of who's in the Office?
Vote Abbott out. He's up for re election right now. Vote him out. Plus any elected official who steps on the stage with NRA on Friday.
And what would YOUR words to them be?
I mean, you think people like Kimmel are so "honest" and "sincere." So, what would you say?
I wanted Jimmy to vent his rage and I would vicariously vent mine but Jimmy was better than that tonight. He pulled us all up to our better selves.
All these moments of silence will eventually become perpetual silence.

Best statement ever, you want a 18 year old that works in fast food to be running around with a assault weapon ! These people that are doing nothing in the Senate are idiots !
@Edmund Snow sure...i like him too....but he's just another mouthpiece when there is no hopeinhell for real change.
This was the most erudite and heart felt response to the shootings in Uvalde. As a Brit who was around when Dunblane, Scotland happened in 1986 and Hungerford in 1987, I was sickened by the effect of irreverent and lax use of the gun laws in our country. But no right-minded, sane and compassionate individual person would every feel that tightening gun laws in this country was not the right thing to do.
The USA is, in the eye of the WORLD, so backward in it's ideology. It aspires to greatness, to be the beacon for every country to follow, but how far it falls short in this one simple position. It's politicians would rather see children and teachers brutally killed than have the courage to wield a pen to stop this insanity. Basing a whole political ideology on a 230+ year old document that includes an AMENDMENT to its original constitution just seems, to the sane first world countries, as simply bizarre. Should we, as Britain's, rely on the doctrine of the Magna Carta of 1215, to define all of our underlying laws and principles? Hell no. We evolve, we move our democracies forward and we hope to become something better than our predecessors.
Jimmy, I was humbled by your oratory. Thankfully there is some flickering of belief that people, wherever they are from, have the compassion to be a friend unto friend. Unfortunately the political agenda in the US is influenced by too many specialist groups that aim to distort the original OVER-RIDING ethos of your founding fathers.
My heart goes out to those that suffered in this last week and to any American who feels that change must happen.

Now that's a word there...
Our Governor is a worthless piece of garbage that continues to proudly sign legislation that kills our children with no remorse. God help Texas.
Having armed security would be an immediate deterrent that would help while we focus on mending our culture. The fact we don't have that standard by now is insane to me.
Exactly! Elementary schools should be a family/kid friendly environment where learning can happen and inspire young minds. The very very very and I mean very last thing that should go on in a kid’s mind is will I get killed today.
@@wildbanana5628 Well what it should be isn't what we have. So immediate effective change would be to establish armed security in schools nationally and to require metal detectors at every entrance.

It's a gun problem can't have mass shootings without the guns. There are people inc kids mental health issues across the world, other countries have it a lot worse imaginr their mental health. Yet you don't see nowhere near as many school shootings anywhere in the world not even remotely close. Because nowhere else can you buy guns like the US.

As an indian, who have never even seen or heard how a gun sounds in his entire life. This is truly devastating. This tragedy brought me to tears. Unfortunately these incidences are all too common in the US because of how easily and readily guns are made available to the general public.
In my country, you have to undergo several trainings and assessment in order to get a legal gun. You also need to draft an essay showcasing your need for a gun.
These are very preventable tragedies if only your leaders would listen.
Also, Ted cruz is a moron.
Considering what I’ve read recently about India, the types of religions that you practice which involve cannibalism and your chaste society, I’ll take my country with my guns. At least here we don’t consume each other in the name of religion. And we don’t have class order based upon birth.
Sahi bola
One day Ted Cruz will say that please send your children in bulletproof vests to school, otherwise keep them at home and continue their learning through online education.
Mayank Singh, I’m sure he sends his kids to a private school with protection for them so nothing will happen to them. Unfortunately America dosent have the money or want to spend more money for the protection of the kids and teachers. Well they want the teachers to pay for their own guns and training. That’s not what they went to school for. I’m sure one day when the go to school it will be mandatory to take self defense and classes cops take for self defense.
Mayank Singh, also my son was in the 9th grade and had to do online school because of Covid-19 with no vaccine and he did well better cause there was no distractions it was just him and the school’s provided lab top watching the teacher I’m fortunate to make sure he stayed focused.
When a late night comedian has more empathy and common sense than the Republicans in Texas, we know that we are in a bad place. Thanks Jimmy for you heartfelt, bold and honest comments. But, gun reform will not be had in the United States until Americans start to love children more than they love their guns.

It’s just very saddening to know that it will probably lead to nothing, like always. It’s like Jimmy said, people move on with their lives and the Republicans and NRA are able to get back to business as usual.
no…lots of us are very much aware. Those Americans you see in the media who have chosen guns over children do not represent all of us. We’ve been wanting change since forever and had multiple protests
The States individually have to fix this because congress is OWNED by the NRA. GQP will NEVER do anything significant.
Only fools think the gun is the cause! LOL
I still do not understand why Americans do not vote for a senator that will change things and save millions of American lives??.
@@nxopinxopi7540 that’s not how it works. There are various senators depending on states. in majority red states, where they EXTREMELY value guns, they vote for senators with the same ideals.However in blue states ppl want gun control but nothing really can be done unless our government does something
There are so many things I could say through my tears right now, but I doubt it's much different than what thousands others have already expressed here. So I just want to say thank you so much for using your voice and platform to passionately express what so many of us have been shouting for years but our voices continue to go unheard. I absolutely adore you, Jimmy. Please keep speaking common sense to the people in power who ignore us in favor of power and money.
I live an hour from Uvalde. This one hits close to home for me. Literally.
Stay safe out there. Sending love to you
It’s kind of like déjà vu… unfortunately, I’ve watched this same monologue time and time again. I’m so sorry jimmy. I’m so sorry to to the families and everybody that this tragedy has affected. I’m praying that action is taken. Our hearts break for you here in Canada
Here in Nova Scotia now we are having the inquiry into the mass shootings in Portapique.
And its the same questions. How could he have gotten semiautomatic long guns? And pistols?
@Amber Liberet
Yep. Kinda of a deja vu. And yes, the same monologue existed time and time again.
I think that's just how life is in the US!!!
Props to jimmy for calling it like it is when he called the politicians cowards .
@@michaelrmurphy2734 got it across the border probably, or knew people who could help get it across
@@stephanebaribeau7465 yeah
Well said Jimmy!
God bless Jimmy Kimmel. He cares. His tears are so genuine, and reflect the tears of every other parent in America who still has a soul. We should all be so angry and upset, but instead, gun zealots-who are also soulless ghouls-have all of our power. Thank you for speaking for all of us, Jimmy. You’re an imminently good man.
bullshit
Yes, you may think those idiots have all the "power," but that so-called power can be taken away by YOUR vote. Please vote wisely both during your state's primary AND in November!!! That applies to every person running for ANY office in your local and state elections all the way down to your local dogcatcher and school boards!!!
You are crazy...he is an actor. What tears?
@Vote Blue for Democracy verses Autocracy the left screwed over our entire nation in less than 2 years if you vote democrat your just stupid and if you don’t agree with the principles our country was founded on you can leave
Red wave in November. Trump coming back hahahahahaha. Whispering weirdo approval rating is lower than trump
Jimmy, I’m so glad people like you exist. We aren’t alone in this country. It’s like being caught in a nightmare we can’t escape. Together we will survive.
Bruh are U for real now? He's literally reading off a script and fake crying. Get over yourself
Jimmy only cares about ratings
Swim girl thanks for spreading a thoughtful message
Without him we wouldn’t survive 😩😩😩😩
@@borris3768 nobody cares about your opinions
I'm from the UK and remember the Dunblane massacre in 1996 it was awful, my heart goes out to the families of those little children in texas, RIP little angels
Thank you for saying what needs to be said.I feel the way you do. If we don’t do anything to fix this,it could be our children next.
It’s sad that I always wait to Jimmy’s monologues after these preventable tragedies. He’s always on point.
Yeah but has he offered to help with a donation to the Uvalde community or encouraged other celebrities to reach out and offer to help this community financially???? No!!!😡😡
@@lizseg1954 You have no idea what Jimmy Kimmel does with his money.
@@lizseg1954 really? Did you talk to Jimmy Kimmel himself? Get out of here.
Excellent Jimmy Kimmel! Just excellent! I am a veteran teacher-35 years of experience. My heart is broken too. Enough! Action speaks louder than moments of silence. Peace.
Thank you Jimmy for the honesty and emotion, I’m heartbroken. Americans everywhere need to step up and stop this insanity.
Honesty 🤣
You spelled "disinformation and alligator tears" wrong.
@@dalektorgo2973 legendary
He is an actor.
@@rickygonzo2781 Lots of cowardly people who hate the right to self-defense hide behind people who have *gasp* semi-automatic firearms.
Thank you Jimmy for you stance on this ❤️
