  1. Illegal possession of firearms: Gender Dysphoria = Mental Illness. Federal Law prohibits anyone diagnosed w Mental Illness owning Firearms or Ammunition. – Oh, wait what’s this? The APA no longer considers Gender Dysphoria as a “Mental Illness” how convenient…

  2. AR15 is a type of rifle not a caliber but I assume they are discussing the .223 or 5.56mm cartridge. It’s kinda low on the power scale compared to many other centerfire rifle calibers. It’s the weapon of choice because it’s probably the most common or popular semiautomatic rifle. The MOST common factor is these killers are all mentally ill and could have used any firearm to kill as many unarmed victims as they want until they themselves are killed or kill themselves. 32 killed at Virginia Tech with a couple of handguns, a .22 and 9mm pistol.

  3. Killing Christians is what Jane Fonda and the cacklers on The View were laughing about last week. They're getting what they wanted. This must make them really happy! Not to mention all the democranazi politicians calling for violence against Christians and Republicans for the past few years.

  4. Please use emergency powers to confiscate AR 15s. The government has a gun registry already. By this time they should know which gun owners are a danger to themselves and society. Send the confiscated weapons to Ukraine.

  5. Why are libs always focused on the AR-15? Most mass shootings are committed with handguns. More people are killed with knives and fists every year than with an AR-15. The deadliest mass shooting in history was committed by one guy with 2 handguns.

  6. I really wish they would have focused more on the damage caused by these kinds of rounds, and less about one specific weapon that fires them. Many, many weapons use .223 rounds. I equally wish there was some kind of middle ground that could be found, because while yes, the AR-15 is a weapon of choice in mass shootings, there are other weapons with the same functionality as the AR-15, but for whatever reason, they are never spoken of or mentioned. It's blaming form over functionality, and I take particular issue with that. If you want to ban AR-15's that fire .223 rounds, because it's an 'assault-style' weapon, then you should also ban, for example, the Ruger mini-14. Both use .223 rounds, are semi-automatic, have readily-available 30-round clips…

    …Banning and blaming a weapon, or a type of ammunition, or a 'style' of weapon doesn't address the issue if there are readily available substitutes waiting in the wings.

  7. I have a very close long-time friend who works as a medical examiner. He has explained in much more graphic detail the damage a firearm round has on a human body. This pediatric surgeon is being kind in glossing over the truly graphic nature of this. I've also seen the results of someone getting shot while on ride-alongs with my local sheriff's department when I used to work there (I was in administration but had road deputies as friends whom I could ride along with from time to time). It's definitely not for the faint of heart!!

  8. Joe Biden: Jill I'm doing a press conference about the shooting, but 1st I'm gonna talk about how much I love eating chocolate ice cream.
    Jill Biden: That's wonderful Joe, do I have time to fix my ugly face and do my hair, for a photo-op.
    This is your President and 1st lady at the expense of 3 dead children and 3 adults, just awful……..

  9. What’s the effects of a vehicle hitting a human body? I’m asking because when I lived in Toronto someone used a van to kill a bunch of people. We also had someone in Montreal a few months ago purposely run a car in to a pre school , killing a few children… People are the pffuuhken problem not inanimate objects …

  10. In the military we were taught exactly what happens to a human body when hit with rounds from our assault rifles. It's designed to inflict devastating and often non-treatable, non-survivable WOUNDS, severely maiming soldiers & impairing battlefied effectiveness by tying up extra personel and evacuation & medical resources. Once it enters the body the round begins to tumble end-over-end and fly apart, causing HUGE cavities of trauma, destroying tissue, bone and internal organs. It's not just a clean gunshot and it's not pretty. These weapons were designed for the battlefield and in no way whatsoever should be used by civilians, not as a "hobby" or for "personal protection" or even for hunting. My perspective as a trained and educated veteran.
    My heart💔and my VOTE💙go out to everybody traumatised by GUN violence

  11. your point? what about a 12 gauge to the head ? who cares any bullet from any gun can kill you . a .22 caliber to you head will kill you. a hammer to your head will kill you. a butter knife shoved through your eye socket up to the brain will kill you. more fear mongering to ban guns will not stop anything

  12. @1:22…..We need to IMMEDIATELY Stop these .223 rounds from randomly traversing and indiscriminately traveling the Country seemingly Unnoticed and Entering someones body?? How does this happen? Surely this isn't cause by some Mentally deranged or Psychotic individual?

  13. Everyone at the least wants "gun control" but your government doesn't want "gun control" because they want us citizens to get "mad" so that we kill each other? If you refuse to see that "inaction" is right there in front of you to see them that's a choice…. Repuglickens have shown you there true color's? Now it's time for the collective group of people to walk off your "JOB" and protest what you really want or sit the down and enjoy the Ride 🖕🤬 all talk and no action is not WORKING

  14. Former Chief Justice Warren Burger, a conservative, said the idea that there was an individual right to bear arms was "a fraud." … the Second Amendment "has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime."
