It’s so hard to wrap your head around this watching from another country, but every country has its culture,history and issues, that are harder for outsiders to understand.

[@comment936]

louiseglasgow once you look at statistics for numerous different gun related topics you realize that gun control won't stop anything. The main problem is violence in general and when you try to take away civilians' rights to defend themselves you are making violent people more comfortable with committing evil acts because they know no one will stop them until police arrive and at the point the damage has already been done. So that's why this video isn't the best to make a judgement on this topic.

[@mbombo2725]

[@dannylewis1539]

I was getting frustrated hearing some of them saying that marching won't do anything, ever heard of the civil Rights movement?

[@johnnytaylor2122]

Modern-day protests typically don't lead to legislation reform. They are good are raising awareness by making news cycles, but that's really it. They start a conversation. Legislation likely won't be imposed as a result of the march. However, I understand that these students are emotional and want to do something.

[@dannylewis1539]

Johnny Taylor perhaps typical protests don't cause change, but perhaps this *isn't* a typical protest . . 😏

[@johnnytaylor2122]

What's being protested? We already have strict gun laws and far more lives are saved as a result of the 2nd amendment than lives lost. This event is tragic, but you can't save every life. Nothing will change because the change they want is already here. If they're protesting a ban of the 2nd amendment, then it will be far more catastrophic than legislation currently imposed and to argue that the 2nd amendment should be rescinded is to say that you don't believe in human rights and that the government can redact any "right" granted to the citizens at will without push back (because we're now unarmed).

[@dannylewis1539]

Johnny Taylor um . . . Did you even watch the video? You know what, nvm.

Danny Lewis The Salt March comes to mind

[@Charmynox]

I remember when I was still in school. I had just come back from therapy which was across the street and I just remember the building being locked and the teachers refused to let me inside. Then this other student and I had to get into some stranger's car because it "wasn't safe" for us to wait outside of the building. The reason this happened is because someone escaped a mental institute and had a gun and was walking around near where the school is. Like.... I was waiting outside of the school for maybe 15 minutes because I had no idea what was going on. I figured it was just another drill so I could've been shot because no one wanted to fill me in.

[@Marth70]

The moment you find out the Sheriff wouldn't arrest problem teens so they could get a bonus checks due to "low crime rates". Then you find out the shooter was in that catergory..

[@MiddletonPlays]

I don't see why you need guns anyway! I had been thinking about this situation, banning all guns would be amazing but because of how many guns there are in the US, I think it would be pretty unlikely to be able to retrieve them all. Only military people need guns. If guns don't get banned, to be able to buy a gun, there should be a similar system to being able to drive a car. You can't drive straight away. Firstly, you need a provisional license. Secondly, you will need many lessons to practise and to learn all the safety rules about being on the road. Thirdly, when you've had enough practise, you take a theory test. You have to get a certain score to pass. If you fail, you take more lessons and do more research on it. Fourthly, once you pass your theory test, you can then take the practical test and you can't drive a car until you've passed your practical. When having a car, you have to pay for insurance!

ok first of all crime in Australia has been dropping for ever, most of the crimes in Australia are done by other means ie: knife blunt object.... ect.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Australia#Massacres ,that link shows a list of massacres in Australia. if you look and read through it you will find that there have been 12 massacres in Australia since 1996, (when the gun ban was put in place) there are shootings stabbings and car attacks in that list as well as some aboriginal related massacres way back in the day. now you tell me that there have been no massacres in Australia since 1996.

I don't understand how people can still defend the idea that guns aren't the problem and that people are. Like seriously, don't you guys have figured out or understand that school shootings occur way more often in the US than anywhere else in the world ? And you know why ? Because other countries don't allow people to bear arms, and especially no automatic weapons. I've lived in Europe my whole life, in different countries of it, and I've never have witnessed a single school shooting as dealdy as the one that occur in the US ! Not a single one ! Also, the idea of implementing more controls on who buys weapons, how can you seriously achieve that? You know that your mental health state can vary with time ? Like one day you're okay and maybe at some point in your life you'll be in a depression, and might want to take the gun you legally obtain to release all the pain and stress you feel inside. Well, nice one, you are able to make a lot of damage because you have the right to bear a gun. You guys should open up your eyes and realise that your second amendment and the way you absolutely want to defend it with your guts is completely insane.

[@movieswithmatticus5469]

More facts to take in (keep in mind the guns were purchased legally): -According to data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), during the four-year period from 2012 to 2015, nearly half a billion dollars worth of guns were stolen from individuals nationwide, amounting to an estimated 1.2 million guns. The top 5 states with the highest number of thefts are: Tennessee, Arkansas, South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Alabama. The states with the lowest gun theft rates are Hawaii, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and Massachusetts.

[@rookieranger4696]

Movies with Matticus Well, it makes sense that the poorest states would have more theft.

sonny0888 Firemen occasionally use CONTROLLED fires to stop the spread of massive forest fires & wildfires. The key word there is controlled. Letting everyone have a gun with ease is like setting random fires in random locations that have nothing to do with the wildfire. All you are doing is creating more potential massive fires. Your own analogy makes the point, gun CONTROL is needed.

Also they only do this once the wildfire is otherwise out of their control. Again, apply this to guns.

I experienced this before at my school. It wasn't a drill, it was an ACTUAL code red. I was scared for my life, everyone pushed all the desks towards the door to barricade it, and I held the teacher's large scissors in my hands just in case. But as soon as it passed I was relieved.... now that I have seen what has happened to the neighboring school near my school, I'm just gonna say that NOBODY should be allowed to go through a tragedy like this.

Gaylemarie Easton You’re right. It’s only some people with mental illnesses that are influenced into doing something like this.

My parents over the years brought me out of my comfort zone, and I’ve be come very knowledgeable on this topic. Most people don’t have that luxury and are often bullied.

As an Australian, i have never met anyone who thinks that the answer to gun violence is more guns. i feel sick when i think of the fact that if we had the same laws, this would be a fear for every time i go to school. i feel safe when i go to school because there has not been a single school shooting in Australia in my life time. We still have guns for things such as trap shooting, but they are so rare I have never been anywhere near a gun. You can protect yourself in other ways, you can still enjoy your hobbies, the only thing that is impacted is the access murderers have to their chosen weapons. Educate yourself about the statistics around this issue. For all those who think mental health is the issue- sure, fix that. But in the meantime, gun laws are proven to work. Mental health is important, but removing guns is easier than removing illness.

It just makes me mad, I’m 15, live in London, do army cadets, I know how to load, unload, disassemble and reassemble a rifle, and we do all this without many injuries ever, in the last 100 years that my school has used rifles, the only injuries are when the bullet casing come out the chamber and it hits your hand or something and causes a slight cut, so if we can be trained at 13-18 how to use rifles in any way possible, then you can train anyone to do the same, and if they fail the test for it, or psychiatric test, no gun.

Not all people that are mentally unstable go around barking at trees and killing dogs.There is a reason that so many serial killers or psychopaths go undiscovered for so long -- it's because many of them know how to portray themselves outwardly to other people. They know the masks to put into place to hide themselves in plain sight. Many of our most famous serial killers were people that were considered extremely charming and polite, the last person you would ever expect to perform criminal acts. That's *how* they were capable of luring so many individuals into a false sense of comfort. This is why so many are drawn towards -- and end up in -- positions of power/persuasion: law enforcement, politics, medical fields, clergy, television, etc. Hell, just look at the number of pedophiles that work in TV, and are *still allowed to work in TV.* I realize this isn't about psychopaths in particular, but it does go to show that there is no simple gauge for mental health. They're not born with brands on their foreheads. Neither am I saying that *all* guns need to be taken away. I have no strong opinions one way or the other, and I know perfectly well that I lack the knowledge on both ends of the spectrum to be able to speak for one side or the other. But I do know *something* needs to be done, and that these conversations are extremely important to be having right now.

Something needs done to make the government who keeps not enforcing our laws so none of this keeps happening. The government needs to be held accountable for its failings.

[@LittleNephilim7]

Mate, we live in a country at the bottom of the world. How and who would invade us? I must say as an Australian I'm grateful to live in a country where I don't need to worry about gun violence. The general population doesn't need to all be armed to the teeth. If there ever was a situation that did require that here, I'm sure our country would find a way through it.

[@dhermitmorse]

There has never been a school shooting in Australia. Port Arthur took place at a tourist trap. Since then there have been 4 significant shootings but your big problem now is arson attacks.

it's both a mental health and a gun issue

[@antoniorivas-ponce9667]

peroxide princess It is a just mental issue. Guns do not operate themselves.

[@aeb_captain4857]

THANK YOU! Of course nobody is talking about the mental health aspect because of the rotten stigma around it. It makes me so sad

[@claytonwatson1862]

Jimin'sPinkHair I don’t really think it’s a stigma thing. There’s a stigma around talking about gun control depending on where you live. It’s just there’s no clear path to fixing mental health issues on country wide scale, whereas common sense gun laws are easier for people to imagine and talk about.

[@botanbutton]

I don't think people even deny the mental health part (I don't), the gun issue is easier to grasp?

Australia put gun control in place after a mass shooting and they haven’t had one since

[@Butteebean5775]

[@oliviagibert5810]

True, but there are varying degrees of mental health issues. Not everyone who has mental health issues is homicidal, but it definitely is possible. Imo, its a gun problem and a mental health problem. People can access guns wayyy too easily, but people also aren't given the counseling and help that they need.
