"Adding more guns into a situation is obviously the way to prevent shooting" I'm crying
It might be true. It's worked for nuclear weapons.
Although I'm still on the anti-gun side, this is might actually be the best argument I've heard.
It's defo true. and "What's the worst case scenario?" uh... state sanction genocide like has happened numerous times in the last century killing millions.
Makes those gun crime numbers look insignificant now.
shamanahaboolist implying disorganized civilians would be able to even touch the army if they were to do that. It's cute you believe that.
Implying that 2 million soldiers, most of whom won't have a wish to kill their own people so reduce that down to maybe a few 100,000 nutters at most, will willingly take on 100 million all armed to the teeth... it's cute that you believe that they would win.
To quote The Onion, "There's no way to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens"
okay? reailty cant stop it

Sometimes sarcasm is the only thing that saves my sanity.
Don’t you know that sarcasm is _obviously_ the lowest form of wit? 🙄
Tugg Speedman Well sarcasm doesn’t actually apply here as Richard Ayoade is actually using satire. And doing so superbly I might add
Tugg Speedman bar puns... puns are so much worse.
Epic Jones - People who use puns should be severely _pun_ -ished.
*+Epic Jones* Puns may be the lowest form of wit, but buns are definitely the lowest form of wheat.
I regret nothing.
All I can see is Moss wielding Douglas Reynolms revolver at the park bullies shouting;
"I'VE GOT A GUN!!! I'VE GOT A RUDDY GUN!!!"
I'VE GOT A MOTHER FLIPPING GUN!!!
HAHAHAHA
You should watch Garth Marenghi's Dark place. He uses a shotgun verses zombies and animated shovels.
You think this is some kinda mother flipping joke
Oh, when I saw that episode I jokingly said, "oh, he took the American approach to the problem."
"A good guy with drugs will stop a bad guy with drugs"
I love Richard Ayoade
so is the black market for weed still a thing in places here people can get it legally? if you actually think about what he said for a second you realise his sarcasm was actually correct.
I don't understand that bit. I'm anti-gun, but can someone explain it for me? spell it out?
he thought he was being smart, repeating the logic that a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun, but replacing "gun" with "drugs". to try and make it seem like bad logic. trying to say that more guns is just generaly a bad thing, because "more drugs" is a "bad thing". but not necessarily. superficially it makes the more guns logic seem wrong, but once you think about it if we legalise a drug and make it so good people and companies can manufacture clean safe drugs and sell them, regulate and tax them. then the bad guys with drugs will dissappear practically over night.
another example of why this logic makes no sense, is methodone clinics. literal good guys with drugs helping solve the problem of bad guys with drugs.
Graeme Evans but then pharmacists and doctors have trained and studied for years to be qualified in what they do and pharmacies/clinics are heavily regulated/maintained to prevent people from misusing drugs/malpractices from occuring. If there were a neighborhood where it was known to have multiple drug addicts around, one wouldn't pose the solution of giving everyone in the neighbourhood opioid analgesics so those can be given to the drug addicts when they encounter one. I think guns, like strong medicine, is something that needs to be handled by highly skilled people and not something anyone can just buy from anywhere
Danica del Rosario so you need a medical degree to grow weed?
Also where is anyone saying to give irrisponsible people guns?
"I think if you don't have a gun in your hand…well… well let's not find out." - Richard Ayoade, 2018
"If we take away the guns, the shootings might escalate"- Richard Ayoade The Legend
The legend of the uptight bore
But Richard speaks so highly of you, you absolute nobody 😂
Ayoade's always a fucking legend
HollyBlueAgitated Too true
He's just an actor. If he knew anything about history, he would know that genocide can occur when a population is disarmed.
That's why I live in fear of genocide every day here in England. I'm always there thinking "Fuuuuuck, what if Theresa May decided to go on an ethnic cleansing spree, how would I possibly stop her without my guns?".
Then I think to myself "wait a minute, the Earth is round, the government isn't run by lizard people in human costumes and that's obviously not going to happen, man I'm sure glad children in my country go to school without any statistical chance of getting massacred by a lunatic who bought a gun from the local corner shop without any background checks or licensing required."
Also, being armed has nothing to do with it. If Trump finally went completely off his rocker and decided to send in the military to exterminate your town you would not stand a chance, armed or not, because it's the fucking military. What actually prevents that from happening is the fact that Trump doesn't have the power to do that and even if he tried, the military would in all likelihood refuse.
It's democracy and the interconnected world we live in that prevents that, not that Trump is afraid of suffering minor casualties because the untrained civilian populace also possesses firearms. Also it's because, despite being an idiotic, racist, sexist piece of human trash; even Trump wouldn't go that far.
+Holy Rhino No, Theresa May is more comparable to Empress Dowager Cixi, a weak figure who didn't respect her own country's traditions sufficiently, and presided over a period of decline.
When you take positive discrimination policies and unpunished rape gangs into account, Britain is undergoing the most extensive bout of ethnic cleansing since the Highland Clearances.
You apparently don't know anything about guerilla warfare either.
How many Kit-Kats did you have to eat to get enough tinfoil for that hat?
Richard's comedy is always two steps ahead of everyone else's.
streets ahead
And dragging it down. 👎
I really don't feel like it is a lot of the times. His entire first minute here was him grasping at straws.
its just so sad that richard ayoade's joke is genuinely what so many people think
Correlation =/= Causation. It's sad that people forget literally every fact they learn in stats class.
Richard you fucking muppet.
So sad that people always ignore Switzerland when they talk about guns being inherently violent. And Britains police state with CCTV on every corner yet exploding knife crime.
film effects what are those you know in America guns have 100s of thousands of things saying a gun has saved a life or stopped a robbery and only 30 000 gun deaths
If those "Cold dead hands people" would form into a militia just from having their weapons taken away. Then those are the type of people who should never have guns in the first place.
The 95% of guns crimes even if not registered is because America is full of guns. The only way to stop them is to forcibly remove all guns and destroy them.
I can't help thinking that if the teachers in my school had been armed, then most of us kids would never have survived long enough to graduate.
And that's a bad thing?
Nah. I teacher just used to hit us with a three foot length of lawyer cane or copper wire. You soon learnt to show suitable respect in class
@@mattcullen6109 right... trauma always helps one to show respect!
To think, if Mr Garrison had a pump action shotgun that class would be dead.

Amazing 😂
Holy crap, a lot of pro guns are taking his statement unironically.
I mean they are pro guns, what did you expect?
Of course they are…
Anyone can make a gun and I mean anyone you just need some stamp sheet metal and a basic knowledge of firearms(yeah you need tools but a welding kit can only cost 121 dollars from what I have seen and there are books on it for example Luty he made firearms in the UK out of protest and he didn't know what he was doing) yeah it would take time and effort but people can definitely make a firearm so even if he is being sarcastic there is some truth to what he is saying.
Richard Ayoade is a literal God in this clip. He was on fire.
he is so smart and brilliantly witty
Smart Smoggy As always
All the signs of a man who’s mastered his comedy style. The other comedians there told great jokes but what did Richard do? Said he’s pro-guns. That wasn’t even a joke but he already made everyone laugh from the manner he told it, the timing, the choice of what he said and so many other factors.
He’s simply mastered that deadpan witty humour and you can tell because he doesn’t even need to tell a joke or break a sweat to make the audience laugh, it’s just natural to him now and freely flows out.
Johnny Vegas does the same thing bud. He keeps out of the political nonsense but slyly shows how stupid the human race is and how he can be affected. Genius humour.
God? Smart? Witty? He says: "What's the worst that could happen?" over-simplifying to about the highest degree possible, one of the most complex issues in US society. Having countless billions of dollars invested, an entrenched culture, an extremely powerful gun lobby and a constitution that is taught as Gospel from childhood to maintain gun ownership and freedoms... But "DUUUHHH its sow simpell Ermaricaaaa, just make it allegal for every1 to hav gunzz lolll11!1!"
They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Unless you're a deadpan Richard Ayoade
oh my god “oh. which is why drugs are legal” comment kILLED ME ON THE SPOT, HOW CAN SOMEONE HAVE SUCH A SHARP AND QUICK WIT
Drugs are legal though: Over the counter and prescribed. That argument is akin to saying that we should ban all drugs and their use in every form and that should stop all the illegal use of controlled substances.
@@captainobvious9188 most drugs, even the legal ones like alcohol, are very highly regulated.
And the US Constitution doesn't enshrine a right for people to access alcohol or drugs, unlike guns.
Oh man, I've never agreed with anyone as hard as much as I agree with Richard Ayoade right now.
Which is fascinating considering fact he is so wrong...
T Koutlosh It's too bad that we disagree on this topic, I appreciate your opinion, please keep in mind I have my own opinion. I would prefer not to get into a disagreement at the moment. I respect your opinion, but disagree and I will leave it at that.
Me too. Ultimately, if Americans want to wipe each other out, what sane person would want to stop them?
Noises The problem is that most of us don't want to wipe each other out...
Noises I think they all should have guns and have a mass shootout. The rest of mankind would really benefit from that.
Ah, British humor. Gotta love it
"Highly trained police officers" might as well be an oxymoron in the U.S.
I expected this comment to be much higher up.
Another layer that makes Richard saying "I've always been pro-gun" funny is his fairly early role as the shotgun toting Thornton Reed in Garth Merengi's Darkplace.
I thought Reed was played by some guy named Dean Learner?
Brilliant, proper English humour with Ayoade 👌 lots of love from France !
I really wanna appreciate you through my private UA-cam, Thank you so much for your kind comment🌹, the love has been massive from y’all my amazing fans, i hope you don’t stop watching my movies.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The fact is in most active shooter situations, those with guns are afraid to use them, because the police might think *they* were the active shooters and in turn shoot *them.* This was said by the band playing during the Las Vegas shooting, who themselves were all armed.
This is what I always think about in regards to the "good guy with a gun" argument. If you're a good guy who shoots a bad guy, you're just someone shooting someone else. How does another good guy know not to shoot you?
Adam makes an interesting point about arming a teacher in a mass shooting scenario. It's pretty scary. If a shooting breaks out, you're now entirely responsible for what happens. It's not like "Hero Mode" activates, most people would panic, because they are not desensitised to a state to consider taking a life, like the shooter has (it is a recurring issue that many past shootings were perpetrated by people who had no empathy and were desensitised to violence). Suddenly, you're now the one who is blamed if anyone dies, even yourself.
It's that one element many gun advocates don't think about when they call for arming teachers.
Any military experienced person will tell you 90% of well trained civilians would absolutely shit their pants in this situation (myself included).
A lot of Americans are just too selfish to ever give up something to help other people.
So true. That’s why we still go hundreds of thousands of $ into debt for basic things like… education and healthcare 😄😄
I just love Richard. Always have always will.

The best thing about Richard Ayoade isn't what he says, but his delivery. "I also think, what's the worst thing that can happen?" We all know he's a comedian and he's being sarcastic, but if you don't it sounds like he's actually, legitimately asking that.
"If more guns made us safer, we'd be the safest country on earth." ~Pete Buttigieg
"Highly trained NYPD."
Sir. Sir, please. Not sure if you've seen the news in ... ever, but the NYPD is not who you want to be holding up as a paragon of virtue or skill.
The sarcasm is strong with this one 😂😂
Why not go straight to the issue and make murder illegal?
if only
If it weren't for all of these pro-murder lobbyists pouring money into the corrupt politicians we would have a better world today!
Gyrocop you can't stop the funeral industrial complex. They have buried everyone who's got an in their way 🤣
Hey now! Cmon man, if murder gets banned what are the fine people of Chicago meant to do for fun now?
Gyrocop Who are these "pro-murder" lobyyists? Because if supporting guns makes you a murder supporting person, then you dont know how the world works. Everyone wants guns to a certain extent. You want guns protecting you, you want your military to have guns, so even if you dont want to own a gun, i bet damn sure you support the people that use guns every day to protect your life. "But those guns are different, they are werhwhewrhwh"
Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and New Jersey have some of the strictest gun laws in America. They also have the highest crime rates including gun violence. How are criminal getting guns when they are not allowed to have them? Its like criminal dont obey laws.
Literally bullshit. All the cities you've mentioned don't have nearly as much crime as you idiots believe, the data is free. Also, Texas has exponentially more murders than the entirety of Germany. Try to twist that
Funny how that works ain't it? Clearly the problem is that criminals are getting guns in other states and then bringing them back to states with high gun restrictions. So what we need to do is outlaw guns throughout the entire U.S. Then I'm sure there will be absolutely no way to illegally smuggle arms into the country the same way there has been for the last 200 years. This will ensure absolutely and totally that the only people in the country who are without firearms are law-abiding citizens who have few other options for personal defense. *chefs kiss*
That was superb! Mr Ayoade is most amusing :)
Honestly of all the debates I’ve heard about guns in America pale in comparison when said sarcastically by Richard Ayoade
Ayoade and Amstell are the sharpest men I've ever seen on TV
A British Army study found that soldiers on a “battle skills” range (where you have to move between positions, select cover etc), were 10x less accurate than on a gallery range. The same study found that accuracy was further degraded by a factor of 10 when there is an enemy shooting back, and by another 10x when the enemy has automatic weapons. That’s 1000x less accurate in combat than on a static range overall.
If you want to be able to intervene in an “active shooter” scenario you need to have SAS-hostage rescue team level training in close quarter shooting. The SAS hostage rescue team invest roughly 1000 hours per man getting blokes up to the standard (starting with fully trained SAS soldiers remember).
People who say that “a good guy with a gun will stop a bad guy with a gun” don’t know what they are talking about; a good guy with a gun is just as likely to kill other good guys, hostages, civilians and bystanders as he is to do anything helpful.
Well I am afraid that it is only you, who donť know what is talking about...
He cited a study. Where is yours?
Giles Holtby well said 👌
T Koutlosh lets play “how long have you served in the Army?” I’ll go first - 10 years in the infantry. You?
Giles Holtby that’s a pretty good game, really takes the piss out of morons
I knew a highly trained guard on a security van who returned fire during a hold up. When it all came to court he was asked where his bullet ended up. His reply was, 'About 18 feet up a telegraph pole'.
His delivery is so goddamn perfect it's impressive
0:36... Having been a teacher, I approve this message.
Sorry that youre a moron. My Science teacher had a 22yr career in the Marines before retiring as a teacher
No one cares mate
Ty Petrisin And?
I forgot this is a British talk show and you have no rights to bear arms. Britain just wants to drink tea all day and moan about the weather.
Beats getting shot for trying to get an education... or trying to watch a movie... or trying to go to church
thanks from USA for positive message and support
I think people forget, the act of killing people is actually pretty hard if you didn't show up prepared for a shooting. That was a big problem in WWII, people subconsciously missed a lot because they didn't really want to shoot anyone. I'm pretty sure if I was there at a shooting with a gun, I would hide somewhere and wait for a swat team to do the messy killing bit...
This man is brilliant
Brilliant

Actually, guns don't kill people, rappers do.
I saw it in a documentary on BBC 2.
From Bristol Zoo to B&Q
SUBBADUBBADEEE WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!
Rap is more deadly than fucking kung-fu
Well neither do tables & chairs but I'm sure I could find a way to make them do the trick.
Guns just enable people to do the deed far more easily.
It works so well for Mexico
He is so quick, it's great
“It’s really scary to be shot at!” How incredibly profound. That’s why the officer didn’t go into the high school to confront the shooter. I wonder how the kids felt being confronted by the shooter with the gun. If only they knew the man who’s only job was to protect them was afraid to be shot at. These dialogues are always so helpful. Thanks England. You’re doing right.
This is just great
This US is not great. lol
Emz ok not proud of that one. Need to proof read more carefully
This is the second result after having searched "Richard Ayoade Vs James Acaster" ...
1/5 hit rate usually probably at greater distances isnt that bad in the heat of the moment. 5 rounds can be fired from your pistol in less than 2 seconds. thats pretty quick still, to put down a dangerous target. and with most handgun magazines exceeding 10 rounds it averaging at least 2 shots on the target within a 4-5 second frame of time. of course very close quarters this number is much higher in accuracy.
Children would definitely never do everything in their power to steal guns. All kids are always honest, especially teenagers.
Kids totally don’t lie to their parents. Or see their gun-wielding parent in a gun fetish culture and want to imitate them. That clearly doesn’t happen at all.
With the amount of stress and frustration I've seen teachers deal with (and sometimes, not deal with), arming them is more likely to increase school shooting
Someone tell me where I can watch more of Richard Ayoade in these kinds of group convos!
He is a treasure of our time
I kind of want to see Richard Ayoade in a western now
Richard is BRILLIANT
I really wanna appreciate you through my private UA-cam, Thank you so much for your kind comment🌹, the love has been massive from y’all my amazing fans, i hope you don’t stop watching my movies.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'll probably use a tranquilizer dart instead
That could actually work... Even if the teachers hit the wrong kid, it doesn't matter, so long as they eventually knock out the right kid.
DJ Burke No that’s a terrible idea. A tranquilliser dart take a while to kick in, and it would be enough time for the shooter to kill a lot more before they eventually go down. Also if you miss your shot, you’re fucked.
Also why would you want to keep the shooter alive? It would be far safer for you and everyone else if you just killed the threat.
His comedy is so good
Its almost funny that someone would suggest that an already underpaid teacher who may already spend their own money on student supplies to also take up arms and put their life on the line for the students as well....
Whats the worst case scenario if all the guns were taken away?
British people can you please explain what "conkers" are? 0:45
Conkers are large chestnut seeds that have been hung on lengths of string for the purpose of a game of the same name. In turns one player holds their conker still (from the end of the string) and the other swings their conker against it. The first one to have their conker break loses.
Wow thanks for that I never would have known!
They're BUCKEYES
Also, conkers fucking hurt

This tv show is almost too serious for Richard Ayoade.
Best gun violence reaction I've seen yet
This thumbnail for this video rly depicts Richards character perfectly
Personally, I'd prefer to hunker down in my classroom aiming at the door instead of using my body as a human shield in case someone comes in. Nobody is talking about teachers forming an assault squad to hunt down the shooter.
Real talk though, an assault squad of teachers hunting down a school shooter is a movie that needs to happen.
@@s.g.7572
Goddammit, Peters, you're a good teacher, maybe the best teacher, that ever walked this halls. But I swear to god, if you don't play by the rules from now on, I will have your red pen!
I appreciate the host for knowing and communicating the anti-gun-ban position when Ayoade didn't know what the position was. Good job!
Classic British sarcasm.
Which is even funnier considering that statistically speaking states with stricter gun control have more gun-related deaths
It's up to us to make it OK. It's time to be positively rebellious and rebelliously positive.
As long as we stand up for what we believe in, don't give in to anger or violence.
Look out for the little guy. Keep an eye on the big guys.
Refuse to keep our mouths shut.
And just generally try not to be dicks.
Every little thing is gonna be alright.
David Tennant
To quote one of most influential business men in the world...
*WOW A GUN*
hey in a school they'l have a higher hit rate, more people = less likely to miss
U WOT M8!? Hit rate of what though? You miss the shooter, and you end up spraying bullets into students and cause even more deaths.
exactly, higher hit rate
"I got a flippen gun!"
Question, when he says it’s scary for the police man standing outside as an excuse. Would he think the same about a fireman standing outside a burning house filled with children?
I think the analogy would be: a fireman standing outside a building in which there children and cherry bombs - why can't we minimize the max risk by making cherry bombs illegal
@@Annachrome Well hell, If the police are there to ensure people aren't breaking the law then let's use this logic to outlaw everything that could possibly be used to break the law. Then we've optimized our minimization of max risk so that police officers and firefighters alike never have to deal with dangerous situations ever again. Outlaw fire! Outlaw hands! Without hands I can guarantee rates of theft will go down and then so will rates of violent theft where police officers are potentially put in danger by responding to the light-fingered lad. Or we could acknowledge that people in these occupations accepted the risks involved when they took the job. If you don't want to respond to dangerous situations, don't be a firefighter, and don't be a police officer.
Richard Ayoade in a western. It worked for John Cleese in Silverado.
Teachers with guns = $1,000,000,000 in gun sales.
I wonder why he wants it???
because the dollar is holier than the bullet?
MrB1923 Hey, I heard coins are great at stopping bullets!
I grew up in Cornwall and, like Josh, have the opinion of "very different standards". One Autumn when I was in primary school, an area of the playfield was roped off to prevent us from getting at and playing with the conkers, and a letter went out to parents reminding them that we weren't allowed them and not to bring them into school.
Age and date-wise - I am 21. This happened in 2006.
We were allowed conkers when I was at school. It was carnage!!! 🔥 No. I’m lying, it was great fun 😂
...And just generally try not to be dicks.
This part is amazing.
You can just see how hard he tries to keep a straight face
Ayoade really shows up Josh and Alex here. The best they can come up with is ancient joke about teachers and video players, plus some weak material about conkers. Whereas Richard goes on a brilliant inspired comic rift.
Can someone explain what he sais at 2:05 "which is why drugs are legal"? seemed like a good point to everyone else but I didn't understand it haha oops
I love Richard❤❤❤❤

buddy's hands took me off guard for a moment there. Sheesh, warn a guy before you whip those things out.
Walk into this comment section quietly on your tippy toes or you'll be gunned down by the gun's rights activists
What was that awesome statement @3:30 ?
Do not enter the comment section, friends. There's a lot of triggered NRA members here.
Yeah, it's almost like it's a Constitutional right to protect your life and property or something...
weird how a piece of paper signed by people from a very different time to our means so much to you.
Lol triggered nice
So you think it's weird if I feel the same way about the freedom of speech, my protection against illegal search and seizure, my right to due process and fair trial by jury, my right to own property etc... Those ideas are just SO OLD, right? It might come as a profound shock to you that you are the not the only person that has every had a thought on this planet and that perhaps people who, DARE TO SPEAK IT, lived before you may have had ideas and proclamations about life, liberty, and individual rights. These ideas are the ENTIRE PREMISE my country was founded on. It's not some flippant centuries-old jest, it's what made it different from the rest of the entire world at the time. The whole world you know was built on the ideas of people from a very different time that yours. What do you think the English language is? Did YOU yourself come up with it or are all the words you use derived from people of a different time to yours? You are a profound idiot. If you live in a democratic country, then you better damn well be glad that all those people from a very different time thought exactly what they did. The 1st amendment to our Constitution grants me the protection of my expression, ideas and speech, the 4th protects me from extrajudicial force, the 5th protects me from corruption and property theft, and guess which one.... GUESS. WHICH. ONE. gives me the right to protect myself? The second amendment does. My government understands that it cannot provide protection for every single individual citizen constantly and therefore grants me the amazing right to bear arms and thus have the ability to defend myself. The Bill of Rights wasn't just some thought experiment, it was based on ACTUAL experience with tyranny and how best to grant citizens rights, protections, and freedoms. But of course, you know better don't you? You don't want to own a gun, fine... no one is making you own one, but Americans who decide to defend their lives with the Constitutional right given to them since the foundation of our country have the right to do so. No matter how much it twists your panties, and I hope you really, REALLY understand how much that "piece of paper signed by people from a very different time to ours" means to me when it grants me to the right to tell you to go fuck yourself. I love it, I love it to death.
Because you have to be some right wing bigot to support gun rights eh? I don't advocate the NRA's full tilt stance that everyone should have a weapon because there are mentally unstable people out there who shouldn't own a gun. But to believe for one second that either raising the age to buy a gun or banning them outright is a viable option is absurd. The police and armed guards aren't always readily available to protect citizens when they're in danger. And criminals will always find a way to obtain weapons. So why disarm yourself when we have such a fragile society? The US needs to take a closer look as to why this is happening. It's more to do with the nations' mentality than it is to do with an object. In countries that respect and understand what weapons are used for, people are much more responsible in that regard. Today we see growing levels of apathy and a concerning amount of people with mental illnesses able to purchase guns thanks to the negligence of the government and consistent flaws in the current background checks.
The voice of onion from apple and onion 🍎 🧅
Its scary not only when theres a mass shooter, but also when theyve got an automatic weapon and you have a pistol
heyysimone Almost all mass shootings in the US have been committed with semiautomatic firearms. Many of them, Virginia Tech for instance, were committed with semiautomatic handguns. Semiautomatic handguns aren't much less effective than semiautomatic rifles, especially AR-15s, which fire a very small bullet.
tom law I'm with you on the first part, but as for the ball hair thing, you've clearly never seen an Arab man naked
More guns, 24-7, all the time.
NYPD only requires their officers to qualify every six months, and they only fire fifty rounds for each firearm qualification.
Outside of qualification, officers get no range time unless they seriously go out of their way to do so, and only on their own time. So that 100 rounds per year is all the vast majority of them are firing.
I'm a casual gun owner with a shoestring budget and I tend to shoot at least 250-300 rounds per month, so 100 rounds per year is nothing.
Also, it should be mentioned that all handguns issued by NYPD have at least a 12 pound trigger. For reference, a factory Glock trigger is 5.5 pounds. Heavier triggers significantly hamper accuracy, especially for inexperienced shooters.

Do you think teachers with guns are going to be on the range every month brushing up on their skills? The comparison was with police rather than a hunter or sportsman because the reasons to use a gun are also rare (although more common for police than teachers)
OriginalPiMan I think teachers would be at least as competent with firearms as an average cop and far more likely to act during a school shooting, unlike the piece of shit deputy that sat outside while seventeen children were murdered.

I bluntly would not expect them to be as competent with a gun as a cop. As for whether they'd be more likely to act, I'm doubtful there too, but I don't have enough evidence to say either way and there are plausible reasons either way.
Fred Versteeg No, the number he used was the average hit rate for the whole force.
Fred Versteeg The number he gives is consistent with the overall hit rate of the force within a few percent since at least 1990. He emphasized highly trained to try to make his point, he wasn't referring to a subset of the force.
So teachers in America now need to create study plans, explain lessons in a way that all 40 kids in a classroom understand them, put up with belligerent teenagers all day, make tests and homework for them, mark all of those homework and tests, make sure that their students pass the standardised tests, AND complete some basic gun shooting training? God, they better be making 6 digit salaries
I'm not sure if he's smarter than he is funny, or funnier than he is smart, it's a close call.
U can’t walk at night in England from fear of violence
Quick, you've got a shooter. 3 "good guys" are armed and brandishing.
You are a police officer coming in. You have one second to act...
Tbh it’s not that they don’t hit every bullet, it’s where the stray bullets are going
I don't think NYC cops are as trained as you think they are.
Holly Erickson I mean they are still significantly more trained than teachers... how do you not understand that?
Goddamn americans and ur goddamn stupidity. I'd laugh, but school kids are dying because of it.
Welcome to America where teachers are required to have better firearm combat training than the police.
Exactly. I'm a teacher and I have not got time to go through gun training so I can be forced to uphold some idiots' ideas about the 2nd amendment.
is that david tennant talking at the end ? has anybody a link to that video?
"If we take the guns away, the shooting might escalate"
I know it's meant to be sarcastic, but I can't even begin to imagine the amount of extra shooting that will come from the well trained "from my cold dead hands" nutters, if you overtly try to confiscate their guns, one could argue shootings could escalate, in a civil war.
Ban the sale of ammunition to civilians.
Problem solved without taking away anyone's gun.
@@LittleMAC78 If you can wave a magic wand and ban ammunition sales to civilians, you might as well wave the same wand and ban guns. People currently manufacture ammunition in their garage in order to save money and also for those who care a lot about quality and accuracy, these equipment are out there and many people who own lots of guns also have the equipment to make ammunition.
richard ayoade's sarcasm... is... ummph... thats a spicy meatball...
