In 2017, 26 were murdered with an AR-15 in a Texas Church. “90% of the people were unrecognizable,” says first responder Rusty Duncan, adding the blood, “covered them from head to toe.”

  1. The Dunblane massacre in Scotland left 16 students and their teacher dead. The assailant used a pistol and a revolver.

    The Nice truck attack in France left 87 people dead, the assailant used a Renault Midlum cargo truck.

    The Kyoto Animation arson attack in Japan left 36 people dead. The assailant used gasoline.

    The Kerch Polytechnic College massacre in Russia left 20 people dead. The assailant used a shotgun and a knife.

    What does the focus on black coloured guns with pistol grips, flash hiders, adjustable stocks, barrel shrouds and bayonet lugs that are functionally identical to brown coloured guns that don't have those features achieve again?

  2. These rifles are no worse than any other rifle or weapon. The weapon does not commit these acts by itself. It takes a human with evil intentions to commit these acts. Yet again, the mainstream media wants to blame the guns instead of blaming the criminals. Shame on you 60 minutes. You should be better than this but clearly you are not.

  3. Uvalde parents have had to have their DNA tested to find their children because they are unrecognizable. Think about that. This will happen again, and again, forever unless we do something. Now vote.

  4. And every time such an event happens, the sales of AR-15's increase. Those are assault riffles designed for one thing and one thing only killing people. so why on earth are we allowing what is essentially a consumer grade M16 to be sold to people let alone kids. makes absolutely no sense. They can purchase an AR-15 more easily than it would take them to get a drivers license. our government and not less than half the people so utterly stupid, that they are too blind to accept the reality. NO place on earth see's the same events happening. NONE. so what's with it here in the US. what? we love our freedom to massacre people.. or OH its the lame ' mental health" issue.. well correct me if i'm wrong but.. doesn't all places have people with mental health issues? places with far worse aid and help.. so again, why are we not seeing such things in those places? The difference here.. white privilege's, Spoiled nation, people not raised right nor raising their own kids right. Selfishness, carelessness, and sheer misinformation forced upon the people to keep other people in position and power. lies, and people not caring about lies just as long as they get what they want. and above it all the rejection of truth and the rejection of God. we see lies layed before us and are expected to accept the lies and call them truths. We've accepted sin. and now allow it to be fed openly to the public as well as our children, always of the mind that people have rights to believe and force their beliefs upon others. Fact of the matte is, what our nation stands for today, our forefathers would burn to the ground. you really think those peoples in the late 1700's wouldve seen such events and did nothing in regards to the second amendment. which was written for a nation that wasnt a nation and didnt have an army and had to defend itself from other nations to gain independence. The second amendment was not written for all times. it was written for those times.

  5. Speaking as a non-American who has read the Second Amendment, it says nothing about owning guns. It talks about ensuring that citizens are able to maintain a 'well-ordered militia', and to do so they need the right to bear arms – not own them.

    Frankly I think it is a stupid addition to the US Constitution. No other nation on Earth sees the need to have such a clause in their constitution, but no nation on Earth seems to lack a more-or-less well-ordered militia. And no other nation on Earth has such terrible statistics for deaths by firearms in times of 'peace' as the USA.

  6. I was a Combat Instructor in the Marine Corp and I shot over a 100k rounds of 5.56mm and trust me it tears flesh and break bones. As a Marine we use to say how the Government created this round to destroy our enemies but now kids in America. This round should NEVER BE SOLD TO CIVILIANS ONLY MILITARY BECAUSE IT DOES SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE TO HUMAN BODIES. TRUST ME I KNOW BECAUSE I TAUGHT THE CLASSES ON THIS ROUND. WE NEED TO CHANGE THE LAWS FOR THIS ROUND AND WEAPON.

  7. This new fad amongst "conservatives" of purchasing and collecting AR-15s is primarily a symbolic middle finger to their neighbors and fellow Americans, who they have been brainwashed into thinking are coming for their guns including BB guns and .22s. The other major reason seems to be man-children purchasing their masculinity.

  8. I bought a Sig Rattler and a new Daniel Defense DDM4-V7 Saturday.
    For females it’s the easiest to fire, barely any kick. I can hit dead center 30 out of 30 times. Easier to learn than a pistol.
    Definitely going to be my home defense rifle from here on out.

  9. You can own grenades , bombs, fully automatic weapons as long as you get a license from the government … Silencers SBR's all with a tax stamp! It makes no sense to ban a AR'15 style of gun…. you can buy a hand gun and put a 33rd mag in it or attach a 100 rd drum mag to a 9mm pistol and Im sure the damage would be the same. We The People will not give our guns up…. especially to Joe "Potato Head" Biden some senile dementia ridden puppet 🇺🇸❤🇺🇸

  10. I look at this like I look at Covid. Working in the field you get to see what others claim they know. Trust me they don't. Looking death straight in the eye will change a person. Maybe it's time. It works after WWII

  11. Look at them herd sheep into giving their freedom away 😵‍💫. Hey sheep, look at how corrupt our government and horrible police are! You may need to protect yourself from them someday soon. The first step any government takes before taking authoritarian control is DISARMING ITS DUMB SHEEP! ;earn history before you think you are so smart!

  12. Any semi automatic gun can be destructive. It’s a stupid argument to make really. But it’s not actually the gun being destructive, it’s the person. The person behind the gun doing these acts. Doing all of the harm to the kids and adults. In America we have a mental health problem not an AR-15 problem or gun problem.
