MrColionNoir: How to Stop MASS SHOOTINGS

[@MrDapperton]

Every mass shooting in the past 10 years happened in a gun free zone.. The guy who shot up the theater had 6 theaters that allowed guns, so he drove 20 MILES to a theater where guns are not allowed.. Why do you guys think these shooters go to schools? GUN FREE ZONES.. THEY ARE PURPOSELY LOOKING FOR THEM! Vote this up!

[@kaleidomagic9685]

Well then let's just KILL ALL HUMANS. We cannot trust that anything else will work, since we have evidently lost all capacity of using our so-called prefontal cortex. We are not thinking. We are reacting to each other like ignorant lemmings. Let the animals take over the planet. What's the use of our pathetic, violent existence?!?

Nothing was said about undermining humans as a whole. immaturity like this makes your views much less credible

Even that *it's true* that in Europe *we do not mediatise those people like they do in the US* You just have the *illusion* of freedom, and yet he's still kind of a pro-NRA clown because he didn't propose ANYTHING to stop gun violence. Metal detector doesn't prevent someone from coming and shooting at everyone. Neither does stopping to talk about them will work. I'm pretty sure it will prevent many mass killings but will not cure the mass shooting epidemic in the US.

The Signs only make the gun free zones obvious. Most these people would still go shoot up a church or something, sign or no sign.

[@jovannibaeza191]

John Drechsler in Prescott, AZ, alot of the churches have an armed guard outside the place of worship. the listen to the sermon through an earbud or speaker depending on church. many even carry inside. the guards are all volunteers from the church and must attain a cert from a defensive shooting course. Bigger churches = more Posts. AZ in general is just littered with gun loving Republican Christians

If the shooter thought one in a hundred people on campus had a pistol he may not have even shown up.

My whole country is a gun free zone and we never have very few mass shootings. There are usually also a lot less victims. Why? Because we have a functioning social system, health sytem and court system.

[@KLP99]

+Jack Gold - Except progressives, because they do not honor life and are the ones to fear will go off somewhere. Many of the postal workers who "went postal" were very liberal and were those who were in favor of abortion, especially partial birth abortion, because they have no honor, and no self-control and thus think everyone else is like them. Don't believe me? Research, don't shoot the messenger (me).

[@thedaijal]

No no no no, Karl Pearson. I am a Progressive myself and firmly believe in the 2nd Amendment. I totally agree with Mr. Colion Noir stetements here. Listen, Timothy McVeigh's bombing in OKC killed 168 people. He wasn't a Progressive was he? Hell no. You also have the KKK...not a Progressive organization is it? None of these people "honor life" I'm sure. According to New America, since 2002, Islamists launched nine attacks in the United States that murdered 45, while the right-wing extremists struck 18 times, leaving 48 dead. My point in bringing this up: your attempt to label people with different political views than yours as unhonorable and murderous, and by inference suggesting that your views are therefore the more righteous just fell flat on its face. People with views like yours offer nothing of value in the discussion of How To Stop Mass Shootings, which this excellent video was referring to. Until the petty name-calling or insults stops, how can we have dialog between those who fight for the 2nd Amendment and the protection it gives us, and those who think (I believe erroneously) simply banning guns, or having gun free zones offers more protection? It is such a shame our country has devolved this way. And the shame is partly yours too. Great video by the way, thanks for making and sharing it.

[@KLP99]

Barry Wilson, I would submit you are not a progressive in the newly accepted sense of the word. I've known a lot of Democrats who are "old school" democrats who respect the constitution, including every part of it, but who now call themselves progressives because it seems to be the term du jour. Therefore, I submit you aren't really a progressive in the George Soros vein of progressives. If we were to have a civil discussion of our fundamental belief system, I think we'd have a lot more in common than the main stream media says we do...

[@wincellrodgers1225]

[@ghostwrench2292]

And is still relevant today. We have people demanding the public release of the manifesto written by the trans shooter who shot up a Christian school. The fools do not understand that publishing the material, as Mr. Noir said in this video, turns a nobody into somebody. I support never naming the shooter and certainly never acknowledging any material they might have left intended to be publicized after their arrest or death. Honor those killed and wounded, let the shooter be known as only as a shooter.

[@chocolatethunderiii4462]

Jeremy von Kesselburg I just looked up each and every one of those names and not one of them actually stopped the shooter before they actually hurt or killed someone. And the ones who did confront the shooter after they either ran away or in the middle of the shooting weren’t teachers they were either adults going to a play or sheriffs doing their job. The only one who probably could be a good representative the whole arm schools movement is probably James strand. Everyone else was too late to the party which proves the other side of the argument that increase security is more necessary than arming people who might have a chance. If a kid can walk into a school with a rifle then it’s time for schools to get more security. The security guards at Klein oak high school (the school I go to) apprehended two students and investigated other students and bomb threats. If those police officers wouldn’t have been there I might not even be here to Fact check this stupid idiotic video.

[@Alienator98]

@@chocolatethunderiii4462 What is idiotic about it? late to the party but earlier than the police fool. Why did people who did not even wear a uniform that day have to intervene before the costs tallied higher? You indirectly proved his point. Also, he is allowed the right to an opinion and to speak said opinion under protection of a document you just trampled with your own biased agenda. Meet him with respectful debate on differing opinions and watch progress happen. The reason nothing done has succeeded is it has all come from a group of people arguing rather than "discussing" the issues at hand. The most alarming thing about it to me is that people like us are labeled immediately as bigoted or evil for simply having an alternate point of view on something. The left pushes a narrative of equality and antiracism/bigotry while immediately taking a dump on anyone presenting an argument on their own opinions. By definition THAT is bigotry. Bigots calling rational people names to silence them is not a valid argument in my opinion.

Ok, 2nd video and now you sir have earned a subscriber, I agree completely. Reason why having home security sign in the front of the house can help deture a burglary, they don't want to get caught. So a security system can increase the chances of being caught. So increasing the chances of getting shot or hurt if the try to commit the act of shooting and maybe increasing the coverage of people stopping a shooter may even stop even more shootings.
