- The laws around guns changed dramatically this summer when the Supreme Court struck down a New York state law that restricted a person’s right to conceal-carry a firearm - making it far easier now to do so.

#NBCNews #Guns #MeetThePress
In my city of Philadelphia murders are up 40%, armed carjackings over 100%, and in that time prosecutions for gun crimes are down a whopping 60%. Democrats are not serious about stopping gun crimes, just limiting law abiding citizens right to self defense.
Well there's the martial law issue.. Kaos and Upheavel and the pres has the legal avenue for it and then "we just gave em the farm"
Sounds like wild west out there. Im in the mid west I haven't looked at the numbers but crime seems to be pretty stable.
Keep dems out, that always seems to be the constant downfall.
The refund the police and prosecutor not doing there job is all tied to taking your guns away they want it to get so bad people will just give them up the same with protecting our schools they don want that it's used to go after our guns or they would protect them but they refuse WHY .
How are more guns going to reduce the number of gunshot victims?
@@wiretamer5710 well then don't buy one.
"I ASK SIR WHAT IS THE MILITIA? IT IS THE WHOLE PEOPLE. TO DISARM THE PEOPLE IS THE BEST AND MOST EFFECTUAL WAY TO ENSLAVE THEM" George Mason Virginia's convention to ratify the constitution 1788
So then you advocate the "well-regulation" of "the whole people"? Sounds extremely pro-gun control 🤔 👏
100 percent !!!!!!
"IS THE BEST AND MOST EFFECTUAL WAY TO ENSLAVE THEM"
That is their goal.
An extremely important quotation because it explains exactly what the Founders meant with the Second Amendment. Thanks for posting it.
1788!! And stil your being preyed open by politician and there corporations friends. How is that gun helping you know.? People are homeless, working themselves to death. No benefits , high medical bills. Tell me?? How us that gun protecting you from being corporate slaves??
No one answered her question because they didn't have an answer. Or more correctly, they didn't want to give her the answer because it didn't fit their narrative.
As a gun owner who is passionate about the second amendment, I want to expand 2A culture and bring more people into the fold. The second amendment isn't only for a specific group of people; it's for everybody. And in my experience, law-abiding gun owners are going to be the last people to cause problems. The more responsible gun owners there are, the better.
The book writer made the case that gun control is racist without noticing it.
I wonder why there’s laws restricting the types of guns and access to those weapons.
Why can’t we buy a machine gun or a rocket launcher or a grenade launcher? Those stuff are much more deadly than a normal pistol.
Using a similar argument, if a tool is capable of killing or harming a lot of people, they would need to be trained before using it, like driving a lorry requires more training than driving a car.
It’s too easy to get a killing weapon and there’s not enough safety net or support to train the people who are using it.
@@Triplestorms more people die from hands and feet(being beatin') then killed with AR15s.. Every single year, my rights self defense and firearms trump your fear of guns..
Politicians understand that VICTIMLESS felony convictions that permanently abolish people's gun rights are key to the full abolishment of all guns and even ammunition!
Eternally removing gun rights from honorable citizens for victimless DUI crimes (Without vehicle accidents or even incidents) while conveniently allowing these same, newly created felons to retain "voting rights" based on victimless offenses (No injured parties) would persuade all "prohibited voters" to vote to disarm everybody for total 2nd amendment abolishment.
Make no mistake these newly created felons (Moms and Dads) with retained voting rights are coming after your guns and ammunition, now too! (For Equality)
Existing gun law unjustly punishes and permanently removes 2nd amendment gun rights for drinking & driving. Who is the injured party to question in court, and who is the victim when all offenses are pull-over-and-blow arrests void of the accident, incident, victim, or injured party? (This crazy law denies Jurisprudence!)
Michigan law says 3 DUIs in a lifetime create a permanent non-reversible felony. These newly created (Mom & Dad) non-violent criminals cannot hunt, and protect themselves, their wealth, or their family by firearm, ever! (A permanent felon!)
The obscure law has a nexus with federal law. It is based on imaginary death and destruction that drinking and driving often create and do not discriminate between "victim" and "victimless" offenses. (There's no distinction in law between driving accidents, incidents, or having a victim vs simple pull-over and blow arrests!)
When DUIs are in fact victimless, without having an injured party, the severity of punishment should never permanently remove 2nd amendment gun rights ...
This law lacks distinction between the two classes (With Victim/Without Victim) offenses!

@@eddiealbritton2462 dude, I'm all aboard on the trump train, I'm a republican. With that said, cool it because you're missing the point of what it means. A gun is a symbol of the people's ability to have a say in their future, the same way Washington refused to allow his men to be ruled by the British empire, "democracy" might not be the best word to use but that's the quote and the principal it stands for, the ability of the average person to fight for his liberty is the overarching theme
@@eddiealbritton2462 When it comes to ignorance, there must be a picture of you next to the definition. A republic is a form of representative democracy.

I have yet to see the well regulated militia.
Other than the national guard.
@Brother Palpatine I do... you do not.
I'm a veteran, you are not.
Well regulated is very broad. In the revolutionary war, private citizens had better guns than the military and warships. A F-18 with JDAMS and aim-7’s could well regulated but dumb NFA.
I have no problem with someone choosing not exercising their right, but I won’t respect anyone telling me I can’t exercise mine.
Be peaceful, not docile 💯
Most of the world doesn't consider it a right though, so why should we? With most of the world considering owning a gun a privilege, we gotta ask ourselves why we differ.
It states in the bill itself that it is to paramount to maintain our freedom, however, there are many other systems that share many of our freedoms without this unnecessary focus on guns. So what else could it be?
You heard the statistics for the damage that this system causes. Though I can't speak to the accuracy of it, I do know well that guns undeniably have a MAJOR role in much death across America. This points to the fatal flaws pertaining to the concept of owning guns being a right.
@@boeboe5115 Guns are responsible for a VERY SMALL percentage criminal deaths, compared to drowning, car accidents, medical malpractice, or crimes committed with other weapons.
The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a Human Right, a Civil Right, not granted or bestowed on the People by government. Neither are our Rights dependent on the actions of criminals, or the misguided, uninformed opinion of the "masses". America is a Constitutional Republic, where the inherent, unalienable, and Natural Rights of the INDIVIDUAL are protected from the government.
Any opinions, fears and feelings to the contrary are irrelevant. If you'd rather be a defenseless victim, a Subject of the government, then you can feel free to move there, and let Big Nanny government take care of you.
The sister was on point. The brother was delusional, & taking his criminal experience & placing that on everyone else. Here is the fact, he is an ex felon, & can not own anything.
Exactly! He shouldn't have anything to say. Just because YOU were a thug pokie, and can't comprehend safe gun ownership because you terrorized the neighborhood till you went to prison, that doesn't mean that we all need to be stripped of our rights and have police confiscating our guns like they do in big northern liberal cities.
And yet, he can go out from there, and in ten minutes, ILLEGALLY OBTAIN a gun! Further proof that "gun control" is an absolute failure.
Japan has strict gun control laws, and they did nothing to stop someone from building a gun from scrap iron and plywood, used it to murder the former prime minister.
" the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

@@KoryC Funny you can get the job done to a burgler with your baseball bat or chainsaw lol what do you need a gun for? Just snap the burglers neck
Yes it should be limited to pistol. Not automatic rifles.

I lived in Baltimore most of my life and I’m still a resident of Maryland (that will change when I retire). This panel is still missing the point. Someone from B-more claiming they can go pick up a firearm, off the street, in ten minutes can not justify more restrictions on law abiding citizens. There have been more controls put in place since 1993, when I purchased my first pistol. For my most recent purchase, I waited nearly 30 days for my HQL to be processed, fingers and all, then I waited 7 more days to actually take possession of the new pistol. I will wait 90 days for a concealed carry permit and more fingerprints. Does any of this overhead stop that same man from going to get a firearm in ten minutes? No! Because in his example, he wouldn’t care about the laws. So, with all of this legal overhead, are we ( am I) more safe than 1993, when I waited 7 days… no. In fact, the longer you wait for a firearm, the less safe you are, especially in B-more. Especially with the whole nonsense about defunding the police. Even with funded police organizations, they only have an obligation to “generally” protect the community. They have no specific obligation to protect you (Try to sue them for not protecting you… it won’t fly). I’ll end my pseudo rant here…
I used to be stuck in Maryland because of my work, moving from there was the best move I've ever made. Life in a free state is not like life in that state, thank goodness. Maryland is a complete police state and they revenue the public with traffic infractions and code enforcement etc to the point that you have to budget for it.
Btw I wholeheartedly agree that law abiding citizens should not be held to account for the actions of criminals, but sadly we almost only ever get more restrictions on our rights when someone commits a agregious crime. The laws that are proposed are also paperclipped with several other items, they aren't just trying to protect people in our legislative branch, they are pushing an agenda.
I grew up on the Mason Dixon line and your rant is pretty accurate.
I absolutely can not stand living here. I'll probably leave long before retirement.
Escaped ChiRaq earlier this year, I had to wait 9 months for my FOID(Firearms Owners Identification) card to be renewed, they even have a "law" in place that says they have to respond in 30 days or less. Couldn't even buy ammo without it. 10 years in the military and only a speeding ticket on my record, so there was no reason for the delay. Glad I moved to a free state, feel like I actually live in America.
You are spot on
The guy who said he’d just call the police if someone broke into his house. LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And halfway through the video, the woman on the panel works at my local range. While she kills me always telling me ‘put on your glasses!’ (She’s right, lol), she’s very knowledgeable, very safety conscious, and a great teacher. Respect.
I noticed that no one gave her a straight answer. What do you propose people do to defend themselves?
This is establishment concern for your safety like after 9/11 when we lost habeas corpus and the right to privacy. You know, to keep us safe.
@@carycunningham9510 Every Right the government chips away at is referred back to "keep you safe". Government cannot keep you safe, Police cannot keep you safe. YOU are the only one that can keep you safe,
The government is just trying to take away your ability to do so with the promise of safety! its astonishing to me how people are so blind to see this.
Government doesnt give anything back to the people. SEE INCOME TAXES, and how it originated, it was supposed to be temporary.

You dont have to have a gun! Look at us Everybody shooting Everybody including kidds
It’s not just about home defense and protection, the constitution was written for situations like the current tyrannical regime. We are all loosing our rights. They went after our president before during and after he was in office.
Don’t ever give up your guns, your going to need them
It's sad how the panel tried to gang up on the young lady advocating for her right to protect herself. The panel was definitely stacked against her. It should have been a real level playing field.
^^ exactly. It was a setup from the get-go.
As soon as he said that America's "love of guns was so ingrained from our hunting and pioneer history", I knew this was going to be a one-sided piece of work.
The right to bear arms, which shall not be infringed, has nothing to do with hunting or pioneering. It has everything to do with being a bulwark against tyranny, and the natural right to protect one's self and property.
Framing it as having a foundation built upon hunting and pioneering is intended to weaken the justification for the right itself. It opens the door for people to attack ownership of of a broad range of firearm types, and to say that the right is not needed in modern times, outside of rural areas, or potentially people with hunting licenses.
It makes it sound like it is a right built entirely on a hobby, and a period of time and conditions that no longer exist in the modern world.
@@scottcantdance804 I agree this particular spot was one-sided but the essence was accurate.
The "right to bear arms" is only under the condition of being "well-regulated". And it has nothing to to with "Tyranny" since it is speaking of a militia, not an individual. You have been deceived. People tend to only read the last half of the 2nd.
Where is Merica? Don't trust a man with a toupee or a comb over. If they lie to themselves how can you believe what they say?
@@jonjeskie5234 Well-regulated has nothing to do with government limitations on ownership and more to do with citizens assembling together. Do you think the founding fathers started a war with a tyrannical government only to further empower a future one by adding limitations to the 2nd Amendment? The war kicked off the moment the British came to take an arms cache in Concord, MA.
As a former police officer it makes my skin crawl when an ignorant person says “I’ll just call the police “. Criminals don’t wait for us to show up before they stab you, YOU ARE YOUR OWN FIRST RESPONDER!
Amen an I will cause I tell everyone that they're not there to welcome u to the neighborhood! Give me a break cuz I can always call police after trying to survive!!! 😠😡👿🤬

This is a cultural problem. Rap music, broken families/ single parent households raising multiple kids, inner city youth looking up to rap artists and athletes who also listen to rap music are a huge part if the problem. Everyone blames the politicians and cops. But it all starts at home. Parents are failing their kids. So many millions of parents are raising criminals and turn a blind eye to it.
Truth. Seems a lot of people don't see it.
So what you are really saying it is a Black cultural problem?
@@ralphgreenjr.2466 No. Like i said its an inner city, broken families usually from single parent homes, full of misguided youth who only try to emulate and look up to these street hood rappers and gang members and street hustlers. These issues are not exclusive to the black community. I did not mention race. You took it as that however. We as a society have been brainwashed to always blame the government and law enforcement for the struggles of people of color in poor communities. Instead we ignore our own contributions to our communities hardships. We need to look in the mirror and hold ourselves accountable. We need to do right by our kids and surround them with positive people and move them up towards a better life. Hood culture is destroying them and their future.
@@ralphgreenjr.2466 These problems happen not in just black areas you know. I've seen the same thing with Hispanics and even white people. In general a lot of people have given up. And it's just making everything worse. And now everyone is looking to blame each other and now it's got violent

While I'm sure the home-invader will absolutely appreciate that, please, someone let this guy know that law enforcement does not have the capability to teleport directly to him in the instant someone breaks into his house.

Where I live it is 45 minutes at least. I accidentally set our alarm off this weekend, turned it off, thought it was done, 45 to 50 minutes later, 2 sheriffs showed up.
I had someone come to my home threatening me. My neighbor and I both called the police. They showed up over 4, yes 4 hours later. I had my guns ready to go. Eventually he backed down and removed himself.
Stupid can never be fixed. More proof.

The beautiful lady asked a simple question and none of the guys were man enough to look at her face and said you know what? I think you are right. The so called professor gave her an irrelevant history class, and the other guy was like let me use my feelings to manipulate this conversation. Just answer the simple question, how do I defend myself? How do I protect my family? How can I protect my country against any terrorist attack?
I noticed that also.
If all of the political biases were reversed, people would have said these three men ignoring a woman's question and refusing to answer it was sexist.
I was expecting the professor to say "I would defend myself by hitting the criminal with my purse."
Wow, a gun grabbing leftist professor. I am shocked.

Theyve been eroding it for decades now. It’s been infringed and infringed. We’ve given away rights for a hundred years while getting next to nothing back. Yet, every time they propose new restriction, they say ‘gun owners don’t ever compromise’. You’re right. There’s no compromise. We’re never given anything. The compromise to them is ‘be glad we don’t take ALL your rights. You get to keep SOME. That’s not a compromise. That’s a BS sandwich, hold the ranch.

Being a gun owner, I contend that being armed makes not only myself safer, but by extension the people around me as well. No, it's certainly not a guarantee, but at least I have THE CHANCE. The beautiful part is that you don't need to agree with me to reap those benefits in the moment. All you need to do is stay OUT of my way! Sadly, even that seems to be too much to ask.
I hold no hate or ill will in my heart for those with a differing opinion. We both WANT the same thing and simply have different methods of trying to accomplish the end goal. Last estimate I know of, there are something like 400 million firearms? You will not ever, ever, ever recover more than a small fraction even with a mandatory, door-to-door Confiscation. You are sadly mistaken to think otherwise. Once that is considered, then gun rights for the average, law-abiding citizen are the logical result.
What is one MAJOR benefit that rarely seems to be discussed? Just look to Ukraine for the answer. One of the first things that happened was that they frantically handed out 20,000 weapons to their Citizens; the right step, but surely it's obvious that having that capability already in place would have been FAR more beneficial. An armed Populace makes a foreign invasion immeasurably more difficult. "A rifle behind every blade of grass" I believe is a popular quote.
"I contend that being armed makes not only myself safer, but by extension the people around me as well"
Yet the stats are that a household firearm is FAR more likely to be used on yourself or a loved one than any criminal.
"I hold no hate or ill will in my heart for those with a differing opinion."
That puts you ahead of most gun nuts right there. Thank you.
"An armed Populace makes a foreign invasion immeasurably more difficult."
Be realistic. Who are you afraid of trying to invade the US?
""A rifle behind every blade of grass" I believe is a popular quote."
Ironically, yes, and that very thing says a lot about the gun lobby. That 'quote' was made up by MacArthur's press secretary to make the people at home feel warm and fuzzy. The Japanese never said it.
@@ratofvengence Thank YOU in return, Sir, for the polite and thoughtful response. That puts you ahead of most anti-gun nuts (I couldn't resist the good-natured banter). You've been TOLD that gun owners are violent, aggressive, and whatever other Term Of The Week pops up; but I have to say in complete honesty that in my experience that couldn't be further from the truth. My exposure through personal interaction is quite miniscule in the grand scheme, but I've run into nothing but regular, good and honest folk. I fully realize that observation extends to people on BOTH sides of this Issue, and furthermore, that the issue of Gun Rights doesn't blindly follow Party lines. It may do so in Party Policy, but as far as the PEOPLE in said Parties.....there are Liberals who own guns just as there are Conservatives who aren't exactly fond of them.
I'm an Optimist by nature. I believe the vast, VAST majority of the Public are honest, hardworking folk that I'd happily share a beer and a laugh with. Again, that extends on BOTH Party sides. That means that yes, I trust my fellow Americans with the responsibility that firearms ownership is. At the same time, My Optimism is tempered with a pinch of Pessimism too....that is, I hope and expect the best, but also plan for the worst, just in case. Do I expect a foreign invasion? No. That chance is really REALLY low. But until that chance is exactly ZERO, which noone without a Time Machine can guarantee, then I prefer to have access to my "just in case" tools, thank you very much. I also have a med kit, a tow chain, jumper cables, air canister, and various sundries in my truck "just in case". I don't hope or expect to need them, and for the most part I don't. But when you DO need them, either for yourself or for others, you REALLY need them....like right now.
I'm ex-military, and have spent in the neighborhood of 2 years of my life in actual warzones. That personal investment of my own sweat and blood is what made me the Constitutionalist I am today; I am loathe to give up one Iota of the Rights guaranteed simply because I earned them the hard way.
@@BattleshipSailorBB63 "I couldn't resist the good-natured banter"
Fair call :P
"You've been TOLD that gun owners are violent, aggressive, and whatever other Term Of The Week pops up"
I hear a bit of that, but I know most gun owners really are normal law abiding citizens. However, read most of the comments here and you'll see what I mean.
"That means that yes, I trust my fellow Americans with the responsibility that firearms ownership is."
That's good, but I'd rather ensure that only those people who actually ARE trustworthy have easy access to firearms. The US homicide rate shows what happens when you let any fool access them.
"I hope and expect the best, but also plan for the worst"
Exactly. That's why sensible gun laws are essential.
"Do I expect a foreign invasion? No. That chance is really REALLY low."
Seriously, who has the capacity? Who has anything close to the capacity? Noone, including the US.
"I don't hope or expect to need them, and for the most part I don't."
And none of those tools enable crime and homicide like guns do.
"I'm ex-military, and have spent in the neighborhood of 2 years of my life in actual warzones."
And I respect that, but it's pretty sad you live in a nation where you feel you NEED to be armed to be safe.
@@ratofvengence "That's good, but I'd rather ensure that only those people who actually ARE trustworthy have easy access to firearms. The US homicide rate shows what happens when you let any fool access them."
---
An absolute overwhelming majority of those homicides are being committed by criminals in the inner-cities. I'm not just spewing that out. This is from gun crime statistics that repeatedly demonstrate what I just said. Also, those fools are illegally acquiring guns to commit crimes including murder. The guns they're using doesn't land in their hands after passing a background check. They're felons who can't legally purchase and own firearms. Hence, they're not "trustworthy" and will fail a background check. That system is already in place.
We have hundreds of gun laws on the books. Look to Chicago or Washington D.C. etc... where they have the most stringent gun laws. Also consider that when the "other side" likes to quote the statistic of deaths by firearms, they never tell you that nearly 2/3 of those deaths were suicides involving guns.
"Sensible gun laws" will do absolutely nothing to stop the same criminal elements from continuing to commit crimes with guns. It will only further hinder and make even more difficult, gun ownership for law-abiding citizens.
And what about the next armed citizen, who hears gunshots, decides to be a hero and the first thing they see is you shooting a gun.
What do you think is going to happen to you?
I grew up with guns, and all kinds of other tools.
Guns aren't the problem. Violent Criminals are.
Indeed. This is the simplest way to say that which is the actual truth. Liberal gun grabbers like to argue because they can’t do anything that requires using their hands or their physical energy. They complain and blame inanimate objects and coddle the youth. Life isn’t fair nor always beautiful. It can be disgusting but it’s life and you don’t focus on that you live for the beauty.
People are very stupid with guns
I mean guns are part of thr problem dummy 🙄
@@peace12388 No. Guns are tools. Inanimate objects. The person holding the tool is responsible for how the tool gets used. If someone commits a crime with a claw hammer, should we then ban claw hammers? Man can be good or evil. Tools are just that tools. They can't make decisions.

"400 million guns, 41 million assault weapons." We gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.
LAWS ONLY EFFECT LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. HOW ARE POLITICIANS SO BLIND TO THIS HUGE FACT!?!?!?
13:07 MOSCOW, School Number 88 in Izhevsk, September 26, 2 handguns, 15 killed, including 11 children, and 24 wounded. No so called "assault weapon" yet still many dead.
An evil perpetrator will use ANY tool available to commit a horrible crime.
FRANCE, Nice, 14 July, 2016, 19-tonne cargo truck , 86 dead, 458 injured.
A ban on "assault weapons" wouldn't change a thing save leave the citizenry more vulnerable to their government in time. An evil person could just use handguns, a truck, shotgun, or all manner of other lethal tools to commit a crime. That's the truth.
The real problem is the human heart. Advocate good parenting, responsible living, limitation on prescribed psychoactive drugs etc. Those are real solutions that get at the root, not feel good gun bans which only leave the law abiding more vulnerable.

"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self defense..." Alexander Hamilton Federalist Papers No.28
You misquoted that.. its subtle... but important. You forgot that hyphen between "self-defense". Alexander Hamilton knew that none was needed in the second amendment. "well regulated' means.. laws. The "declaration that he is referring to in this one passage from Federalist Essay 84 IS "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" . It never existed as a right from day one.
It is no coincidence that this paragraph begins with "to the second".
Federalist 84.
"
To the second that is, to the pretended establishment of the common and state law by the Constitution, I answer, that they are expressly made subject "to such alterations and provisions as the legislature shall from time to time make concerning the same." They are therefore at any moment liable to repeal by the ordinary legislative power, and of course have no constitutional sanction. The only use of the declaration was to recognize the ancient law and to remove doubts which might have been occasioned by the Revolution. This consequently can be considered as no part of a declaration of rights, which under our constitutions must be intended as limitations of the power of the government itself.
"
In his essay where he discusses "Militias" he does use the language "well-regulated" , HOWEVER , he does this ONLY in the context of people and Arms being under officer control and direction. ONLY in this instance are human beings "well-regulated" with the weapons of war.. ie handguns/ AR15s.
If everyone was truly self-regulating with Arms in America today then their would be almost no gun violence. It is far more prudent not to ARM anyone in the first place. people and Arms have been killing each other for 1,000s of years. This is called war.
What I have just shown you is based on these letters only.
“History may distort truth, and will distort it for a time, by the superior efforts at justification of those who are conscious of needing it most. Nor will the opening scenes of our present government be seen in their true aspect, until the letters of the day, now held in private hoards, shall be broken up and laid open to public view. What a treasure will be found in General Washington’s cabinet, when it shall pass into the hands of as candid a friend to truth as he was himself!”

ALL of the Federalist Essays, both versions are just a subset of over 1000 of these letters. Benjamin Franklin was the original author of the second amendment. A timeless four part literal algebraic equation that explicitly describes "the arms being on trial and not the people FIRST.
Think hunting only but no human hunting. limited clip rifles only.
Just don't elect a tyrant in the first place.
The second amendment was a constitutional legacy from day one. It was a first impression by design. SOME of the framers knew Arms killed people. They ALSO knew that as human beings tend to read what they want too. "the right to keep and bear Arms" was just a sales pitch to get it ratified in a time of slavery and greed.
It is not easy to be a "candid a friend to truth". One must first acknowledge that its possible that others may be more educated and to a degree more intelligent than we are. That's not such an easy thing for the human ego to process is it?
Welcome to politics. It takes courage to be a real patriot.. not a gun. Just think of your neighbors first. There will ALWAYS be criminals. There is no cure for death. Far more prudent to not arm everyone in the first place.

@@themessenger3216 you lost me the moment you said "well regulated means laws" at the time, The phrase "well-regulated" was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected.
Further more the constitution doesn't allow the people to have the right, they state the rights were inherit, they were there before government existed, the constitution prohibits the government from infringing on the already existing rights. extremely easy.
@@dustyd8082 You are correct about the meaning of "well-regulated", however their is no hyphen in the second amendment as it was written and ratified. You are NOT "using only the text of the instrument". "We hold these truths to be self-evident". Not everyone in 18th century society knew when to use hyphens for clarification and when not too.
Noah Webster defined "Liberty" as "the state of being free".
A Militia is just people and Arms. Put aside HOW they were used. Sometimes they were well-regulated but ONLY when under officer control and direction.
Regulate people and Arms (aka Militia) and do this well from a point of law to secure LIberty FIRST. The word "State" has nothing to do with a colony. The Arms are on trial and not the people FIRST. Liberty is PEACE. EVERYONE has a constitutional right to Liberty or PEACE as defined by the second amendment. Keep removing ALL Arms causing death. (hand guns and AR15s etc). Once this is accomplished the ONLY Arms allowed are those used for hunting .... but not human hunting.
A constitutional right to common sense Arms laws and NOTHING ELSE.
Now you know what the "instrument" is. No hyphen.. that NEVER existed.

crime is higher in red states
@@freddygarfunkle8947 .... Per capita crime is absolutely not higher in red states. If you take a state like Texas. The top half dozen most populated cities (urban areas), are liberal blue cities. Those cities combined, could almost be considered separate 'city states'. Texas is being overrun by blue people fleeing failed blue states. Take Arlington, Texas for example. Its the home of the Dallas Cowboys and situated in the mid cities area between Dallas and Fort Worth. Its population has been increasing exponentially for years. The new residence are almost entirely non-white, and from liberal areas such as Chicago. It is also a refugee drop off city for Hispanics, middle easterners, and Africans. It used to be a convenient quiet suburb...now its population has ballooned to nearly 700,000 with skyrocketing crime. The same is true for El Paso, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas, etc... Fort Worth avoided this phenomenon for a while, but its now falling prey to this scenario as well.
You can look at crime stats in any red state, and the major portion of crime comes from their major cities, which are almost always a liberal bastion, within the red state.
But the second you step outside of the liberalized cities, crime drops off precipitously. If you break it down to red and blue cities and towns... its exclusively 100% blue areas that have the highest crime rates.
By your logic....how do explain Illinois, Washington, New York, California...etc... I guess they may look lower on paper. Because they decriminalize a lot of things that get prosecuted in red states.

_"I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery"_
- a translation of a Latin phrase that Thomas Jefferson used
The supreme law of the land clearly states.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
16 minutes in - the government should regulate every aspect of gun manufacturing because kids in the streets are getting guns that didn’t come from a gun store…..what?
Guns save lives. Repeal the NFA. Defund the ATF
How can nearly the entire panel miss the point and ignore reality? They kept the counterpoint to Alan off the panel, because a educated response would have torn him up.
The idea of the people's right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed is misinterpreted is ridiculous. The term "the people" is mentioned in several places throughout the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and every single time it refers to the citizens of the United States. If the intent was for only a well-regulated militia member to have the right to bear arms it would have said the right of the militia to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed but that's not what it says.
This NBC video even starts off deceptive 1: using the term gun safety and 2: stating that guns are "ingrained in our hunting and pioneer history". Instead of guns needed as defense to a tyrannical government. I can't watch it any further

If I sell all my guns, there are still just as many guns in US. In some one elses hands
Exactly. If gun stores and retailers destroyed their records. The gooberment would have absolutely no way of finding out who has a gun. They only know the people that submitted official forms or paperwork. Beyond that, which is the majority of the country, they don’t know who owns what if anything. If you buy and sell a gun to some joe with cash, that joe now has a gun. But through no official transaction or paper trail. So they say 77 million gun owners. But that’s through official estimates. There’s easily millions more that own them through parking lot sales.
Bottom line the government can have guns
But we the people can't, well we got them and plenty
Your guns will not protect you against helicopter gunships, drones and guided artillery: small arms are symbolic only.

Those laws prevent folks who never even had a parking ticket from having a single shot target pistol.

Absolutely hilarious. Also, every American should be legally required to spout hate speech at all times, and also to fortify their homes so that government soldiers can't be stationed there. All their little rights covered so they can safely pretend to be tough all day long haha.
If we can meet in the middle for an intelligent discussion, that’s a game changer. Any gun owner knows for too long, the conversation has been ban scary guns. That’s not an intelligent discussion. That’s ignorance. Logic vs emotion.
The problem is, there isn't any middle ground.
The 2nd amendment is clear.
@@STR33TZK1NG its clear sure. Doesn't mean its right
Yes let's just give guns to everyone great idea!
Just code for banning more and outlawing more every time it is the last time until the next time and they want more. No more. The right to keep and bear arms was not given to us from government, and it can't be taken away from government. The 2nd Amendment limits the power of government, not we the people. State law can't over ride the constitution and the Bill of rights. Federal authority does not allow them to amend the constitution except by certain prescribed methods and if the feds can't do it the right way, they are not allowed to circumvent the protections and restrictions put on government to keep the constitution and Bill of rights from being infringed and violated.
@@peace12388 your problem is that you dont realize those restrictions already harm those who are neither intent on or determined to commit crimes.
If he can leave and come back with a gun in 10 minutes then he broke the law that already exist. Making new laws won’t keep him from doing the same thing.
All Corey said was he knew how to get out of a situation in the moment, but he failed to educate the rest of us on how to do the same. It is apparent he doesn’t have a real plan to deal with the root problem. You can enact all the programs you want, but these thugs don’t want to hear it and aren’t going to show up to learn how to prevent “the moment” from happening to begin with.
I dislike these type of panels for discussion about gun control. There always seems to be a 3 to 1 or 4 to 1. When that does not represent the true population.
The bias gives away the true agenda.
And it was a firearms instructor against a lawmaker, and an author.
So in the moment where I need to defend myself please tell me how understanding the criminals perspective will neutralize the threat more effectively than having a firearm?
It won't, but it might weaken your resolve and thus cost you your life and the lives of your family. You must keep your priorities in mind and act accordingly. Counting on mercy from armed criminals forcing their way into your home endangering your life and family. That is a death sentence for those who try it. You have gone beyond the pale, as the old saying goes, and represent a deadly threat that must be dealt with quickly and aggressively.
@@williamadams8353 Once a front door is cracked open without my permission, the rest is based on my perception of the threat. That is a simple process.
