Serbia ,which Americans consider a third world country...had 2 mass shootings in 2 days. They enacted gun laws immediately. 15 years in prison for an illegal gun...face to face interview for anyone who wants to buy a gun and psychological interviews also. Thousands of Serbians turned in their illegal guns and there has not been anymore mass shootings there. Our problem is politicians that get kickbacks from the National Rifle Association and other gun lobbyists, and they would allow children to continue to die at their schools and countless numbers of Americans die in what has become almost a daily occurrence. The greed of these politicians is killing us everyday. They don't want their gravy train to stop. And this is their PRIORITY.

⁠@@yosefshekelberg5433 Read up on American history re what Madison actually said. Not just 3 or 4 words. There’s more he wrote. * There is not a single word about an individual’s right to a gun for self-defense or recreation in Madison’s notes from the Constitutional Convention. Nor was it mentioned, with a few scattered exceptions, in the records of the ratification debates in the states. Nor did the U.S. House of Representatives discuss the topic as it marked up the Bill of Rights. In fact, the original version passed by the House included a conscientious objector provision. “A well regulated militia,” it explained, “composed of the body of the people, being the best security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, but no one religiously scrupulous of bearing arms, shall be compelled to render military service in person.” Though state militias eventually dissolved, for two centuries we had guns (plenty!) and we had gun laws in towns and states, governing everything from where gunpowder could be stored to who could carry a weapon-and courts overwhelmingly upheld these restrictions. Gun rights and gun control were seen as going hand in hand. Four times between 1876 and 1939, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to rule that the Second Amendment protected individual gun ownership outside the context of a militia. As the Tennessee Supreme Court put it in 1840, “A man in the pursuit of deer, elk, and buffaloes might carry his rifle every day for forty years, and yet it would never be said of him that he had borne arms; much less could it be said that a private citizen bears arms because he has a dirk or pistol concealed under his clothes, or a spear in a cane.”-- There’s more, go find it, it’s very interesting reading .

@@bernadettelanders7306 Read Federalist Paper #46. An armed population serves as a check against the potential of tyranny imposed by a standing army. Hamilton explains how the existence of localised governments combined with an armed population serves as a counter to a larger centralised tyranny. Examine the following quote... > Hamilton notes how a "tyranny surrounded by legions" is able to be overthrown by an armed population coming together as a militia. Hence his statement that, "governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." Australia has no such counter to tyrannical centralised authority, nor does it have the cultural mindset to develop one. This lack of a cultural mindset to resist is one of the reasons why the Australian people so readily submitted to ad hoc unlawful proclamations regarding business closures, drug mandates, detainments and speech infringements during the pandemic of 2020 and 2021. Culturally the USA is much more skeptical as it pertains to the authoritarian and arbitrary use of power by the state, hence the higher levels of non-compliance.

In australia we have more guns now than before the 1996 legislation. The difference is the reasons for owning them, background checks, and storage of guns and ammo is regulated strictly. All guns are registered and even if you "found" one in the shed you have to let the police know so it can be registered. Any crime inc a gun carries heavy heavy penalties. We still have shootings but they are so rare that they all make headline news on all channels - even for one death. We are close to the swiss in rules but we cannot carry in the open or in a vehicle.

As an Australian, that was my one critique about that story when I first saw it. He was so close, sooooo close. And then he did the white-guy walkabout while talking about blooming onions... And it felt like it really undercut what he was trying to say by making the entire piece feel less researched than it surely was. Talk about tripping at the 5 yard line (I may be misremembering this American saying but I also feel like me not being bothered to look it up is kind of appropriate to my point).

One thing that was not mentioned in these clips is that Switzerland has a very peaceful culture. For example, it's illegal to make excessive noise past 10 pm, before 7 am, on Sundays and on holidays. We value each others' freedom, individuality and right to a peaceful, private life. I'm sure that that plays a role. On the whole, we feel safe too.

It's clear that the role of media cannot be understated in shaping our perspectives on this issue. As a Franco-British individual currently residing in Ireland, I've noticed a stark contrast in societal attitudes, deeply influenced by media, education, and family. Here in Europe, our exposure incites a sense of caution, a healthy concern. However, it seems that in the United States, this caution escalates to fear. This distinct divergence in sentiment fundamentally alters the relationship one has with firearms and the concept of gun control. The lens through which we view these matters greatly dictates our responses, making it an important facet to consider when deliberating on such critical issues. TLDR: Europeans are taught to be concerned, Americans are taught to fear and be scared.

Hi! Australian here! Here's why people were concerned about invasion by Indonesia (keep in mind, this is the Australian perspective): 1996 was during the Indonesian occupation of Timor-Leste, a situation that held a lot of weight in the Australian consciousness. 5 Australian journalists had been kidnapped and executed by the Indonesian military in 1975 while reporting on the initial invasion (at the time, Indonesia was denying they were even there and the rest of the world seemed to be turning a blind eye. The Indonesian government's official position on these deaths is that they were killed in 'crossfire') and this event, plus the Aus govt's response to it, coloured the public's perception of Indonesia as a whole for decades. You can google 'Balibo Five' for more details. There's probably a really interesting sociological thesis to be written about the impact of that one event on the Australian psyche. Australians were angry and terrified-- people thought Indonesia was an aggressive, expansionist regime. That they would not stop with Timor-Leste and they (1996 population: 201 million) would come for Australia (1996 population: 18 million) next; what would that conflict look like if the rest of the world decided to take the same approach they had to the invasion of Timor-Leste? We would be slaughtered in our homes without significant international aid. These are the sort of things people were thinking. (I can't tell you what personally, was thinking. I was one year old and so probably not thinking anything of import.) And, as often happens when people are angry and terrified, a lot of racism was the result. In turn, that racism contributed to making gun reform more difficult. TL;DR --1996 was a pretty terrible time for Indonesia-Australia diplomatic relations and a pretty terrible time to be an Indonesian living in Australia. (apologies for so many sidenotes in parenthesis...)

Europeans belittle Americans in this regard cause we can't control our negative impulses and we don't respect the law. There's much to learn for a change, starting with politicians on gun control issues.

Let's see, with an average income of @ $140k and average home price of @$1.2 million, I'm betting that same demographic in the US has similar crime stats. Switzerland's actual answer to crime is: If we make it too expensive, they won't live here. That's the farce of doing these types of comparisons. To put it in perspective, the US has somewhere in the neighborhood of 47 million people under the poverty line. The population of Switzerland is 8.8 million. Switzerland's answer isn't an answer at all. You could remove most gun restrictions there and they'd still have little to no gun crime.

The rest of the world watches the gun violence in America in disbelief. Here in Aotearoa/ New Zealand, if we'd followed Australia's lead when they banned guns and done the same here, we wouldn't have had 52 people killed and 41 wounded while at their prayers.

It’s true and I strongly believe in gun control and that things in US are totally moronic but there is a huge difference between US and other places- the fact that there are 300m guns here already. Even the most optimistic agree that confiscating all weapons is never, ever going to happen. So gun control starts at that point - not at the point it did in Australia or UK or Norway- where there are only a tiny fraction of those weapons. So the approach and immediate results cannot be compared to those countries. You can’t just say “do what Norway or Australia or UK did” - because it’s too late for that. Again, that doesn’t mean that the US shouldn’t be moving forward with the most effective controls it can.

We literally have no training requirements to own a gun. We don't have waiting times (they claim it's two weeks - not a thing), or mental health checks (they made that up), ammo storage requirements (made up), unloaded when not in use (made up) etc etc. It shocks me they can literally just made up stuff and tell americans it's true when it's not.

The reason that people outside the US don't carry guns is that we're not afraid of each other. We do have our crazies (not as many as America but we have a few) but the likelihood of encountering a problem that a gun could solve is so slim it isn't worth worrying about. This is also true in the US. Unfortunately, the level of education that teaches critical thinking (along with geography and history) is not available in the US so Americans are not aware of this. The logic is that, when confronted by a bigger, tougher person who is determined to beat you up, you're gonna get beat up. If you introduce a gun into the equation, you're gonna get shot (with your own gun). A gun will not make you bigger or tougher... it just blinds you to the reality that a bigger, tougher person who robs homes for a living won't have any trouble getting the gun off you, particularly as they are now at risk of getting shot if they don't. They're more at home with violence than you and they know how to handle these situations. I've been beaten up a few times in my youth. People usually only get shot once. Obviously, anyone faced with a gun is afraid of the gun. Anyone who feels they have to carry a gun is afraid of everything.

One thing that wasn't covered in the UK part of the video is that the UK's gun law changes are similar to Australia's. In 1996 the UK had a mass shooting at a school in Dunblane - where 16 kids and 1 teacher were killed, and 15 others injured. Following the tragedy, the UK put in stricter gun laws and control. So it's not like the UK never had guns. It's had gun laws a similar length of time as Australia has. And the implementation of the laws was pretty swift.

If you don't understand why a background check is important for this problem, then you are one of the dangerous people acquiring a gun that must be stopped.

Background checks are required for all purchases at gun stores, internet purchases and gunshows. This video is lying, like most forms of media. I challenge you to go purchase a gun and see if they will make you do a background check. I think media is dangerous for lying to everyone like this.

Mass shootings in America has mostly been since 1999 since Columbine CO!! The 392 years before 1999 going back to 1607, mass shootings almost never happened & yet guns have been common in America & many inventions & developments of guns & ammunition occurred over the 19th & 20th century (2 centuries in America)!! BTW from Mexico down to Argentina, Latin America has been much more violent than America has ever been!! Ask any Hispanic-Latin or Brazilian immigrant in America & they will tell you the difference of America & their native country!!

Why do Americans love guns so much? Because to Americans, guns are a symbol of independence and the more they have it the more they feel independent. Whether or not that's actually true is left to the reality of the individual, although in most cases that is just an illusion.

We can be a little smug on the UK about the US obsession with guns. It is a function of their history and of a massively powerful gun lobby. I worked often in the US and colleagues there refused to believe that most UL police officers were unarmed. There is something charmingly, artlessly childlike about the belief that guns bring peace. Also... (and sadly) lots of innocent people people get splatted.

It's semantics. But guns (or their owners) do have more rights than women do. Women's rights to abortion. Overturned. Sterilisation...you have to be 25. Men don't. There's so much more to this I could say, but you know what? If you're a gun iwner, you've already made the decision to put women and kids in second place.

In 1774, 250 years ago, England banned guns/gunpowder in the 13 American colonies!! Attempted gun confiscation by the English army on April-19 1775 started that 8-year war (1775-1783) for American independence & England almost won that war!! Then England came back for the War of 1812-1815 & burned down Washington D.C.!!
