Let's ban criminal activity too
No one is safe outside in this crazy world I'm sorry she speaks on safety but in reality it's just dangerous outside your own home!!!
Ban all guns from public use. It’s not coincidental that the nation with the most guns has the most shootings
🇧🇷
I AM in TOTAL Agreementwith you .
We need better stricter gun registrations..
And AR 15's and other such guns need to be banned from civilians.
Tighten the restrictions. This is not freedom. I'm calling this hell. People dying at the hands of angry young men is not freedom of expression.
Yeah let's ban everything especially politicians
Only for the public or free American citizens which will take more freedom away from us
Coming from a lady who probably has her own private security
Hunker down. Things are getting weird.
Casually Ignore all the independent studies showing how relaxed gun law states have low gun related crime. This is honestly laughable.
The people supporting this is the same as those who will blindly ride the Row v Wade train without knowing anything at all or reading the case itself. LMAO
Lets acknowledge that mental health is a big problem in the US and continue to do jack shit about it while then blaming guns that somehow grow arms and legs to shoot people.
People kill people, in other countries people die defenseless. I spoke to many who nearly died and those who know jack know that knife wounds are more deadly.
Every weapon is a "combat weapon"
Yes! Let's do this, USA!!!
Combat weapons are banned 🤔 What are you talking about? There is no combat weapons that are on sale in the united States!! Stupid!! I'm not even a gun owner!!
Again, another attack on good guys because bad guys do bad things. There are Laws in place, already on the books and yet they are seemingly unable to be enforced. Plus, Laws are for good guys, bad guys couldn't care less about our "silly little laws" and wish no good guys can have the same weapons they use against us so they can slaughter at will.
That's not going to stop the shooting with assault rifles there is an easier way to get them all they have to do is go to the black market dealers and buy them there. When I was a deputy sheriff for a LA county we had a big problem with that they will go to Black Market dealers and they would go buy illegal guns and even assault rifles so that's really not going to help much but it may cut down a little bit but it's still going to happen and you can still buy them off the street so all these laws is really not going to do much at All I can say is go Brandon
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
Jim Jones killed 909 and didnt even use a gun. Used Kool Aid.
A wacko can kill more people without a gun.
BAN MCDONALD'S TO STOP OBESITY REEEEEEEEEEE 🏳️🌈
Here is an idea too lets ban parents from raising such goofs. There as much responsible as the guns are. From what I have seen of his parents its no wonder he went nuts
You can't buy an assault rifle as a civilian. That's what an AR-15 is, a civilian issue M4/M16. It's just looks the same. There's no switch and no ability for attachments. It's not combat ready like a military issued weapon. Ms. Duckworth was issued one, she knows this well.
Highland Park was a "massacre" with all that "carnage" said doc on MSNBC… With high-velocity .223 rounds? Okay, now keep that in mind.
Food for thought… Uvalde, TX…
Doesn't the entire story fall apart at the vehicle? That truck was NOT driven to that location. The entire suspension is missing from the whole left wheel well. They laid a tire on the ground, but if that was driven to that location… so when he wrecked it, the tire came unbolted from lugs, laid itself on the ground, ripped the connecting arm and tie rod end out of the gearbox and steering column, and then grew wings and flew away? That truck has rolled itself NOWHERE in a long time, especially to that spot.
They're not cowards. They are liars. A civilian shooting 150 rounds in 5 minutes isn't possible. Maybe 120, but you will hit practically nothing. So this guy can shoot more rounds in 5 min. than humanly possible with a semi-automatic AR? He also killed 21 people in that time? What you believe then, is that an 18 year old is shooting Delta Force level marksmanship.
There's many more obvious lies as well, it's laughable. For instance, the interviews from houses across the road "thinks" and "are pretty sure" they heard gunfire huh? Yeah, a barrage of 150 rounds for 5 minutes? Okay, like they wouldn't hear that in all directions for 5 blocks. If you didn't already believe them, you never, ever would. Assault rifles are high velocity, small diameter projectiles. They don't cause "carnage" they are meant for penetration. An AR causes minimal entry and exit wound damage, even with hollow points, because they are traveling over 2000 ft. per second. They are lying. Unidentifiable bodies from high velocity rounds…huh? Impossible.
Losing a child is the most devastating thing a mother could ever face. Of course, the largest factor is whether the death was expected or sudden. In nearly ALL cases of small children, the mother is inconsolable. Parents will do anything to get to their children, they don’t take time to do a calm interview while they don’t know if their kids are dead or alive.
The five stages of grief are apparent to any outsider who knows what to look for: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. They don’t refer to their child in the past tense when their child isn’t even in the ground, because they can’t fathom that they’re no longer here. Think about it, even when it’s a grandparent that passes, in the days and weeks following, you often catch yourself talking about them in the present tense, because it’s a habit that you have to make an effort to change. These “parents” haven’t had any time to emotionally process the death of their beloved child, so they would NEVER say, “She WAS always smiling”. For heavens sake, if you’ve referred to your flesh and blood child in the present tense for 10 years, after 2 days you’re not gonna be able to say “She WAS” without making a concerted effort to do so, such as reading a prepared statement.
For another thing, it is well documented that the resuscitation of children can, at times, defy all odds in the most unlikely situations, even after cpr has been ongoing for lengthy periods and all hope seems lost. Miracles happen when reviving children. Did every child receive perfectly placed head shots that resulted in instant death? DOUBTFUL! We go above and beyond, even further than we go when resuscitating adults, to make sure every attempt is made to resuscitate a child. Unless their body is cold, EMS would do everything possible to AT LEAST TRY. So, where’s the video of people being transferred to ambulances and airlifted? There’s a ridiculous amount of holes in this story for anyone willing to take a RATIONAL look at the evidence.
When funeral homes pick up a body from the hospital or morgue, they are as discreet as possible. Autopsies had not been done. Even though the so called “shooter” was killed, all evidence would still need to be collected in case there was additional involvement. The medical examiner would need to document all gunshot entry and exit wounds, collect any bullets, fragments and so on. It would take days, possibly weeks, for a medical examiner to perform autopsies and collect evidence related to a mass casualty event. The bodies of these children would not go directly to the funeral home, because documented chain of custody is necessary to preserve evidence. Never would this type of situation happen when police haven’t done any investigation to ensure the shooter acted alone (which they, somehow, knew already and said it over and over on every channel).
Have you ever seen a hearse at a crime scene? Ridiculous.
try it and American patriots will destroy you, as per the constitution
