Do I understand correctly that this is a plea to the future gunmans to use handguns instead of AR-15s when they shoot kids?
I'm really glad you got a doctor in to explain the bloody obvious!
News break long guns shoot fast
As a multi decade vehicle expert, it is my professional conclusion that the Uvalde shooting would have never happened if perpetrator did not have easy access to a High Powered Motor Vehicle.
Slow and heavy or small and fast
😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬
The school was open and the killer could have used butcher knives or bombs.
No school should be unprotected like that and the 40 min of federal agents sitting around doing nothing is heinous.
Those poor babies! Omg!
Every American family should own an AR 15.
How do you spell " Helpless Victims"? Like this "Gun Free Zone"………
It's about time to make criminals fear their intended victims!
How did he get the guns and ammo.
Media and politics are focused on getting rid of 2nd amendment while avoiding bigger issue… The shooter himself.
Someone gave him those guns. And just how did he get into the school?!
Probably too graphic for modern media
Dr. Vin Gupta doesn't know anything, he's a wierdo that should not be allowed to address any Americans en masse.
Democrats and thier ignorance on ballistics and fact spinning. of course a bullet from a large caliber rifle has more power then a pistol round. Ar style rifles. Stop the media spin, and work on the mental health issues of this countrry, and stop trying to capitaluze on this sad tragedy.
9mm solid round nose vs .223 hollow point or polymer tipped ?
Biden need to cancel all LOBBYISTS IN WASHINGTON DC. When you run for your position you don't need money The people vote you in Not the LOBBYISTS
TLDR: pistol rounds aren't as powerful as rifle rounds
Why did the story about the 10 black people that got shot in New York disappear?
I’m sure they would’ve liked to have any gun. They’d probably still be alive.
It's seriously disturbing that the politicians and the media are not addressing all the missed ques and red flags that were not addressed by prior to this and the Buffalo shooting. Both individuals were on the radar of authorities, family and friends, etc. Even FB needs to be held accountable to some extent. The Texas kid post several times on FB that he was up to something. FB is so quick to flag posts they sure dropped the ball on this. So yes, please explain how all these laws which on on the books are not being enforced.
All the signals that these kids put out and yet nothing was done by anyone. WHY is that?
They more powerful the better. You don't want your personal defense firearm to be weak.
Also, What about the teacher that proped the door open against school policy, than ran away once he/she saw the shooter, leaving the door still proped. Some hero…
You can take em one round at a time
Metal detectors only work at music event venue entrances in large cities. They don't work at schools.
Move to China
I’ll tell you why, The Shooter, gave all the kids head-shot and face-shots..you can’t imagine the mess he left behind in the room…the examiners have a hard time determining who’s who…
Oh so my FN FAL isn’t as lethal as an AR pattern rifle? Gee I didn’t know a 5.56*45 is bigger than a 7.62*51. Man, I thought I knew math but ight.
"why are they so lethal in comparison to any other rifle you ask? because we said so"….
LOL it's almost as if bullets weren't supposed to be gentle
As a stay at home wife whose husband works a lot because middle class is poorer under democrats & lawlessness increases under democrats home invasions are a real threat. I need an AR15 to protect me & my children. Schools need armed officers on campus.
Apple’s and oranges bs!!
This is an 18 to 20 year old kid who does something he shouldn't because society has let him down it's not a gun problem society continues to let down the youth of America in so many ways you can't even simply describe it you keep pointing fingers at a tangible thing and not the society the continues and continues to throw children under the bus in so many ways it's horrific that you don't address the issue
guns did not fail facts police waited instead of pushing in, the democrats now have historic crime,,,,,,,,, this is disingenuous propaganda,,,,,,,,,,,, we as a nation have had weapons since the 1900 hundreds,,,,,,,,,, fact is democrats are breaking records under all crime due to bail reform,, soft on crime polices,,,,,,,, guns don't shoot themselves,,,,,, this is only to make citizens powerless to protect themselves & their families,,,,,,, you can find more info about citizens saving themselves & family using weapons than shooters! you should try facts if you need to show death count well that's easy too how a bout over 1 million covid deaths, instead of medical the democrats repurposed covid relief funds to support CRT,,,, OR YOU HAVE THE OVER 100K DEAD Americans due to a china made illegal drug being distributed due to yet again lack of secure open border!!!!!! fact is the school had a unlocked propped open door??????? why??
You do realize if Democrats stopped shooting people gun violence would drop by 90%
Yeah a high powered rifle…
What makes an AR so dangerous? Ignorance based propaganda…. A gun is a gun, they’re all dangerous in the wrong hands.
Also, notice than in the intro to your video you show a persons forearms in frame gripping a pistol. The massive political argument with ar-style pistols is that you need two hands to effectively fire them and that standard pistols (just like the one in your video) are fired with one hand. You’ve contradicted 15 years of gun-control by showing the proper way to fire any pistol…….with two hands….
Please, everyone, take it upon yourself to educate yourself instead of relying on fear mongering (the technical term for that is literally terrorism) to make you feel a certain way so you vote accordingly.
Democrats wanting gun bans is the exact same as republicans wanting abortion bans.
Can anyone tell us the physics of the shape of that cloud of smoke?
So much false info in this piece. Most ar15s shoot 556/ 223 which is basically a .22 on steroids.
If it were a conservative, it wouldn't be elementary school children. It would be MSNBC and the communist tech giants
It's amazing how ignorant the left are about weapons. But the sheep will eat it up like they always do.
Now, show the 500k dead Iraqi children who were killed by BAE and Raytheon weapons.
I wouldnt be listening to a fake msm outlet that lied to their sheep followers everyday for 4 years about fake Russia collusion. The fake msm is the real enemy of the American Sheeple!
Any rifle has more power, that's the point of a rifle, it's a cartridge with more propellant in order to maintain lethality at long range, and the longer barrel helps to maintain the flight path for greater accuracy at range. Stop pretending it's special because it looks scary to you.
All of these "journalist" are protected 24/7 by armed guards at every entrance to their studios. If only our precious children had that same level of protection
"unrecognizable" is an understatement…basically these children, just 10 or 11 yr old, had their heads blown off…. and Republican lawmakers think that's alright for everyone to get these killer rifles….
These anti gun people are braindead! The second amendment is to protect us from tyranny! We can't be armed with bolt action rifles while the adversaries have full autos!
Lever action rifle would be just as deadly. Your AR argument is invalid.
