These are stupid.
They should bring belt fed machine guns with 500+ bullets to have more success.
EVERYTIME A MASS KILLING HAPPENS OUR GOVERNMENT FOCUS ON THE SAME GUN REFORM, AND BACKGROUND CHECK. THIS NOT STOP THE MASS KILLING. AND PEOPLE WITH CRIMINAL RECORD IS THE LESS LIKELY TO DO THEM MASS KILLING. THE PROBLEM IS, THE MORE WE CONTINUE HAVING MASS KILLING WEAPONS AND ALLOW IT IN THIS COUNTRY, SADLY TO SAY OUR FAMILY AND LOVE ONES DIE. WE WAS LIVING JUST FIND WITHOUT ASSAULT WEAPONS BEFORE THE 70s.
WHAT MORE IMPORTANT, THE PEOPLE OR ASSAULT WEAPONS?
Drink every time he says "Umm"
Mass shootings can happen anywhere….where there’s “GUN FREE ZONESâ€Â.
Allow the US citizens to keep themselves armed and the crime rate will drop.
There is no “EASY ACCESS TO FIREARMSâ€Â. It’s called the 2nd Amendment. The People’s Right to Bear Arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
There is background checks in place  it’s called the NICS System.
My state has Castle Doctrine, No Duty to Retreat, Open Carry, and Conceal Carry.
There isn’t mass shootings here because the community is armed.
Also it’s not called High Capacity magazines. It’s actually standard capacity magazines.
But then again, you would know that…if you were any bit intelligent on firearms….which you are not.
Last thing….a bit of a personal note….
As a proud US born American, a proud 2A member, I love to say…..
You want my property and my constitutionally protected rights?
…You can go to Hell…
This guy shouldn’t be in charge of anything. He has a conflict of interest. They want to know what a mass shooting is…try the one that just happened in Mozambique. That’s a mass shooting.
A armed society is a safe society don’t be a victim people carry an defend your loved ones and others this guy in the video is a p*ssy he doesn’t have the balls to defend his family don’t be that guy 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸#godbless#2nd#amendment
We need people armed everywhere so people think twice about shooting something up. Who goes and does a mass shooting and thinks that people are going to also shoot back? NO ONE because they always seem to occur in gun free zones where no one can protect themselves.
At 21 your able to buy a pistol which most shooting are done with… you can buy a Rifle at 18…. please put gun educated people up here…. he's clearly here to miss lead you…. he's talking about guns and has no clue
We will not comply look what’s happening in Myanmar there government is running over top of them because they cannot protect themselves………. the reason it keeps happening no matter what you do is because the bad guys don’t follow the law and get their stuff illegally
Couldn't have anything to do with sanctuary states and cities could it? DemoRats are the ones pushing to unarm Law abiding American Citizens but don't think twice about the crooks, law breakers, criminals.
Lies
Fun fact 600,000 Americans die every single year from preventable heart disease. How many die per year from shootings like these? Oh, around 100. But whatever, go ahead and throw your right to bear arms away. Governments never hurt anyone, right? I mean it's not like there's a country right now whose military decided to override the election results and is now executing its citizens. Nah we definitely don't need those guns.
Shooting happen in Chicago every night
They can happen anywhere, but seem to only happen in 'diverse' areas. Maybe we should look into banning 'assault diversity'.
Most shootings can happen Anywhere but a LOT of them happen in Colorado. Focus on your state, not " anywhere "
LoL. Colorado keep your BS in your State. Because just North of you in Wyoming we just don't have any bullshit problems here. You wanna take our legally owned firearms come get em sunshine. Magpul left you. You have some of the most restrictive gun control measures in the country. Sorry but hundreds of thousands of you moved to Colorado from california and you have fucked up colorado and many states in the west. Now look what you have done. Don't puck with those of us north of you because we are not going to join your BS.
More GOOD People NEED to CARRY GUNS. OPEN CARRY Of Good People would Stop this crap! Americans aren't gonna put up with tyrannical govt trying to take guns. Period! Guns don't Kill people! People kill People!
And they can still potentially happen anywhere regardless of how many "gun laws" you pass against the 2nd Amendment… Psychos tend to love "gun-free zones" or places where it's hard to get a concealed carry permit to make it more likely no one will be able to defend themselves properly. Notice how rare it is for one of them to march into a police department or army base and start trying to shoot the place up? They prefer unarmed victims to armed ones. It's sick, and you're unintentionally helping them with stricter gun laws, ironically enough. Even in places where guns are essentially banned or close enough to it (Australia/New Zealand) you still get shooters like Christchurch. Criminals don't care about the laws in the first place, and the only people you are disarming are the law-abiding citizens and making it more difficult for them to defend themselves. Banning stuff just creates a black market that empowers gangs/cartels/etc and that's where criminals will get their guns from anyway.
Colorado Lawmaker: "Mass shootings can happen anywhere"…. Yeah, which is WHY we need guns!…… Ya never know when another false flag is going to be manufactured..
Suuuuch a bunch of bullshit. Bogus ass bullshit.
Better get started on becoming a fucking cop if you want to keep your guns, folks. They will never take their weapons away!
That's the Republican party for ya. Can't have proper background checks for guns, but we need ID verification for voting…ðŸ¤â€Ã°Å¸Â¤Â¨
Funny how mofos don’t care about child trafficking…
You do you – invent gun free zones and live there – I will live in USA
And we need to be able to defend ourselves anywhere
I hate hearing stupid people talking about guns! They have ZERO clue what they are spouting!!!
Gun laws only stop good or at least ok people from getting guns. Most guns used in crimes were acquired illegally.
says the hypocrite politician surrounded by men with guns
Background check been a thing everywhere in the US since 2000… hell, back then it was over the phone…
What happens when they use bombs?
Surge—''' my @$$
Just put the slap chop right, just out the slap chop right there, out the slap chop right there…..then hit like this…hit it like this chop chop chop chop chop
You are your own best source for self-defense in the event of a crime. Arm yourself, America. Defend your God-given right to adequate self-defense. When every second matters, the police are only minutes away.
No.. mass shootings happen in Gun free zones…
They don't happen where the population is able to carry..
… its almost like people who want to do wrong don't follow the law.. ðŸ¤â€Ã°Å¸Â¤â€Ã°Å¸Â¤â€Ã°Å¸Â¤â€
Only mass shootings are important to your Christian Masters in Media who wish to destroy the Constitution.
Not mass eviction, not mass homeless roundups, not mass invasion of people that hate America as long as they love Jesus enough securing the rich's power and wealth through their conditioned obedience.
Nope the only thing that matters to these people is the people's right to defend themselves and be heard. You are all traitors and deserve a traitor's death
Only Antarctica is safe
