  • Now we sit back and watch violent crime fall in DC

  • History shows countries that disarmed their citizens were made venerable to attacking countries and were left without a way to defend themselves. Obama, the Clinton's and H. Kissinger are still attempting to enlist the U.N. to usurp our Constitution and Congress to grab your guns. We cannot have a One World Government if you have a way to defend against them! Protect yourself and our Constitution always!!! Watch Alex Jones on YouTube about gun control.

  • Register your guns? Yes, tell the government who you are and what guns you have, so that they can, in an orderly and proficient manner, come and take your guns.

  • Over 8,000 homicides since the gun ban was in effect!!??

    Time to take a long-overdue change in strategy.

  • u liberal shit birds wont get my guns even if u do pass a bill. that piece of paper saying i have to give em up doesnt mean shit to me. u want em? pry em from my cold dead fingers. and when i die my mag will be empty and my barrel hot.

  • @joshkkv that was awesome

  • @KeshaIsHot808 ;) ty

  • guns don't kill people, husbands that come home early do. Larry the Cable Guy

  • We have a registry here in Canada for all firearms. It HAS led to confiscations of guns that the government decides (sometimes after perfectly legal importation and sale) are worthy of being banned.

    Registration=confiscation

  • Ideal society for those fake conservative is that nobody is dare to walk on streets except those with body guards.

  • Don't worry. They are going to be made in China as well very soon if you want to kill each other much easier.

  • that one guy is correct owning a handgun will only lead to handgun violence i do martialarts ya dont see me going to my congressman saying o h please mr congressman can you make nunchakus legal nope also if you were allowed to carry and your not trained in how to keep someone from taking your gun away from you well if he does take the weapon from you well you know the rest

  • why did his son die during the gun ban era? oh right...cause criminals still have guns even if you try to legislate their destruction.

  • If we outlaw guns,only outlaws will have guns!

  • It is regrettable Mr. Kenneth Barns had to lose his son through criminal actions, but if it wasn't a gun it might had been a knife or something else; however, had his son had a way to protect himself, it may very well have prevented it. Guns don't kill, criminals do!

  • Mankind has evolved beyond throwing stones when it comes to defending yourself or family. Locking a door will not always keep intruders away from you. Politicians don’t want you thinking for yourself when it comes to your safety and the police department can’t be everywhere! People have a God given right to defend themselves, as stated in the Constitution!

  • The Supreme Court has finally got something half right! We must stand by our Constitution and allow no individual to usurp our God given rights. There is overwhelming evidence with mountains of statistics and books proving guns do prevent home invasions and are a reasonable means of self-defense. Anyone individual (Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty) disagreeing with these proofs are either illiterate or have an ulterior motive of disarming American citizens! Guns don’t kill people, criminals do!

  • The father of the guy that was shot has it all wrong here. He says, and I'm paraphrasing, that by legalizing hand guns you are putting firearms in the hands of criminals on the streets of Washington, that's absurd. By legalizing handguns in Washington, you are now letting law abiding citizens protect themselves against criminals and their illegally owned firearms. The Supreme Court's ruling did not make it legal for criminals to own guns.

  • 5 to 4?WTF...Why not all nine?I thought their job was to enforce what the constitution says.

  • More guns = less violence, and crime look at the statistics

  • The 2nd amendment is your right to defend yourself from the government with guns.. >.> And they want to take that away... What does that say about them..?

  • American citizens have the right and freedom to defend themselves from violent criminals. Long live the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution!

  • It's not gun violence. It's violent people, gang members, drug dealers, robbers, and they choose to use guns. This decision allows normal, law abiding people to also have a gun in their home. To say that more handguns will only lead to more handgun violence, just means Fenty believes that law abiding people are only law abiding because they do not have a gun. If they have one, they're likely to become criminals. That is the most idiotic idea an adult could possible have on this subject.

  • The thugs continue to shoot and kill people with their illegally acquired guns, while law-abiding citizens are screwed over by following the law that restricts their access.

    While we're at it, we might as well take from the poor and give to the rich.

  • Everyone about everyone my (5 mile) road owns several firearms each. The last murder around here, was 10 years ago. And that was two out of townees over a drug deal gone bad. No one from the area was hurt.

    So if guns cause crime, how is it my area (that has about 130% more guns then people) has the least amount of ALL types of crime, in all the neighboring counties?

  • One only needs study the transition of Rhodesia, from Unmatched Productivity, to abject Poverty as ZIMBABWE. First step was 'Disarm' Property owners. (massive Violence, Bloodshed). Next step, 'Re-distribute' wealth. Poverty followed. Dependency is mandate for Tyrants rule. National Socialasim, endorsed by agenda educated Media, always follows the same process, and ends with the same results. BTW Average age during the 'Bronze' Age was about 14, world pop, 5 Mil...soo GREEN. :>)

  • @Blogengezer I LIVED THERE DURING THE TROUBLES! Watched a beautiful country turn into a shit hole because some miscreant blacks thought they were owed a country. Oh the world said, "Let us appease the lazy and slovenly black man who has done nothing to build Rhodesia, for the white man is ALWAYS evil!" I remember the Rhodesian Nationals going out in their big dumptruck style personnel carriers and coming back with them stacked full of dead SWAPO guerillas. Kill them all, it was a good policy!

  • SCOTUS ruled...get over it, commies.

  • That there was gun violence before the ban was struck down is proof that it doesn't work. The "more guns on the streets" is going to be more guns in the hands of LAW ABIDING CITIZENS, who wont be comitting crimes. 8,400 homocides during the ban says something about how well the ban works.

  • Keep your guns no matter what the 'Supreme Court' says and defend your constitution because the US administration will not take 'No' for an answer!! That you can be sure of!!!

  • @x2436ab thats right. If they cant do it this way they will go the un route with the small arms agreement. Notice they have made it an agreement so it does not need senate approval in the united states

  • adrian fenty your a bald pussy

  • The ruling doesn't allow "anyone to carry a gun". The statutes strucken down in 2008 and 2010 only guarantee the right to own and handgun and keep it in the home. States and local government can still regulate carry in public. Seriously gun control laws only stop law-abiding citizens from owning guns. Criminals, who mostly get their guns illegally anyway, are unaffected.

  • god i hope we get a gun bill pretty soon cuz i dont think the us can last any longer under no gun laws

  • So that idiot grieving father believes that a "civilized society" is an unarmed society that is under the boot of the government?

  • @BloodTar I think Al Capone said it best "an armed society is a polite society".

  • the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants!

  • @Harrisononthesack lmao, you stupid cunt! The 'KILL KILL KILL' thing, was a quote from 'Private Parts'

  • Wow... how incredibly biased this report sounded.

  • @TheMedievalMan Yup. Well, that's AP for ya.

    I wonder what kinda tune Kenneth Sr. would be singing if Junior had had a gun on him and was able to protect himself?

  • It's about time!! What is it that draconian politicians do not understand about "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED?"

  • The Second Amendment was necessary to enforce the First Amendment. If our government should be taken over by a totalitarian regime that would take our rights from us, a well-armed citizenry can put a stop to it. Ooops, it's already happened!

  • There wouldn't be much gun violence if Obama's "constituents" were disarmed. No more gang-banging, drive-by shootings....etc. These people are animals...I guess niggers is a better word (ignorant people).

  • The right of the people shall not be infringed! Nuff said!

  • JERK!!! You have a gun, and the bad guys will think twice in shooting your son! If you son would've had a gun he would probably still be with us.

    CRIMINALS DON"T CARE if the law says they can't have a gun Can't you get it?!

    But if YOU have a gun and you are a law abiding citizen you will protect yourself and your family.

  • "Kill, kill, kill..... the WHITE man"

  • @BlitzinLB27 You should come and try try try to kill this white man....youll find your ass full of lead bitch. Although when you see my Ruger p94 on my side Id say you will run run run!

  • A gun didn't kill your son, sir. Do you blame the car if it hit you? What we should outlaw are idiots and dirtbags.

  • How about we just rid this country of the criminal races to preserve OUR safety.

    This way, decent folk won't have to give up their rights to preserve THEIR safety.

    "Civilized", my ass!

  • If a government wants to control its people, the first thing it does is disarm them. This is counter to the principles of freedom.

  • STUPID ASSES ONLY THE BAD ASSES GET KILLED!!!!...if you get shot you probably deserved it!

  • of course they ruled in favor,who better to thin the herd than the herd itself.

  • @8thRRFS: Even MORE importantly, we need to be emailing our respective congressmen and women to keep Kagan off of the bench. You see how Sotomayor voted...no big surprise. "No guns and no borders" — That should be the motto of this administration. It's only proof that we need a third party to represent THE PEOPLE instead of THE CORPORATIONS or THE CRIMINALS.

  • his son could of been in the ronge place at the rong time or he was in part of some thing that got him that way but you can't blame every one for that. Some ppl don't kill ppl cause they have a gun so don't blame us for that I have a gun it is used for 3 things shooting at the rang,hunting and to protect my family.

  • DC citizens don't deserve to be armed. Just make DC a gunfree zone, problem solved.

  • This is not a civilized world!

  • 4 communist SC judges voted against the 2nd amendment. Unbelievable. Now do you people understand why it is so important to get rid of the libs in November of 2010 and 2012?

  • Oh, that gun ban looks like it worked real well. Now people will be able to shoot back.

  • @HemiHead66

    DAMN right SHOOT BACK

  • My neighbor didn't like guns. That is until her room mate was raped and murdered and she was raped and her throat cut also. I transferred to her a 38 Taurus and she carries it everywhere now, even to shower. She spent 4 months at a shrinks office. She said she felt safer an hour after the transfer than 4 months of therapy.

  • @actonbath When I was in my CCW class. There were a lot of rape victims there, I knew that because the instructor told me personally after the class that he gets them every day. Now I know why I saw so many women there. Its a shame that people have to learn AFTER they have become a victim.

  • @actonbath Thank you very much for leaving our govt off the hook of providing sensible security for the citizens of this country. They can focus on issuing traffic tickets and hiring collection agents for those outstanding fines now.

  • the reason it is good to have gun or weapans is to protect ourselves from anyone or anything even the U.S GOVERNMENT if need too!!

  • If you want less crime. After the criminal is arrested.  Take them out!!!!

  • DUH!!!! Our founding father's are rolling over in their graves thinking we are wasting our time talking about something that is so common sense. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!!!!

  • @DOGLUV007 its not common sense the constitution does not state anywhere that people have the right o own guns its says th right to form a militia and in the actual articles of the constitution it describes what it means by militia and it means the national guard it has nothing to do with somebodys right to own guns

  • @TheWasssssuppp Ain't going to be no militia if a single person can't get a gun?????

  • @DOGLUV007 youre right theres not theres no need for a militia

  • Comment removed

  • @TheWasssssuppp

    You don't know what you are talking about. The US Title code defines the militia. goggle US title code 10, 311

    The unorganized militia is members who are NOT in the National Guard or Naval reserve.

    .law.cornell.edu/uscode/10/usc­_sec_10_00000311----000-.html

  • @TheWasssssuppp wow can you read???? here let me help

    A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

    the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, what part of that english is hard for you to follow? Seeing as the people refers to the citizens of these United States, that right there boy in BLUNT english says I have the right to "KEEP" and "BEAR" arms. simple as that!!

  • @boxingboycow wow thank you for proving it for me a well regulated MILITIA it basically saying you cant take away somebodys gun rights if they wanna form a militia to protect the state and i dont really think somebody owning a gun is really protecting the state

  • @TheWasssssuppp Read the entire amendment you fucking retard. You cant discount the second half of that message that says "THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" See thats the problem with you liberal fags, you only see the black and white that you wish to see and blank out what it really says. Also go read the federalist papers. Page 28 explains it very well. Moron.

  • @TheWasssssuppp Also you want my guns I dare you and any other man to come and try to take them. Promise it is you that is forgotten. You people need to stop trying to take peoples rights away for your own agenda. That my ignorant fellow human is not called freedom, that is not called a democracy, nor a representive republic, but it is called an oligarchy. Just like the one Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Hussein happen to have had.

  • @boxingboycow youre the moron just read it its saying if you wanna form a militia you should be Able to own a gun only if u wanna form a militia and io dont think most people form militias anymore thats why you have police

  • @TheWasssssuppp Wait what?? so if the people decide to rise up against the gov ernment they should rely on the police to go fight a war for them and their freedom??? You sir are a fucking absolute idiot and you honestly need some education on what our founders deems a militia...ANY MAN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 14 AND 40 WHO ARE ABLE BODIED. But you are still disreguarding the fact that the 2nd amendment says clearly, "right of the people to keep and bear....It does not say right of the militia

  • @boxingboycow read the whole amendment not justy the kepp and bear arms part you say the liberals only see black and white you are totally blocking the first part of the amendment nowhere does it say that somebody can own guns it says a well A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed its does not say anybody can own a gun you can only own a gun if you wanna form a militia

  • @TheWasssssuppp You really need some education kiddo. According to the founders what is the malitia? Hmm smart guy??? THE PEOPLE!!! OMG REALLY??? So it all makes sense....Tell me crack baby, what are the Bill Of Rights?? Could it be the individual liberties guarenteed to the people by the constitution???? If they are individual liberties as stated by the men who created the document does that not mean the 2nd is for each idividual citizen?

  • @TheWasssssuppp WRONG, the freakin SUPREME COURT disagrees with what you just said, that was the whole point of the video.

  • @ImWatchinTheTube so the supreme court disagrees with me and i disagree with them so what

  • @TheWasssssuppp nor does it say right to form a militia, or does it say only the malitia....NOPE. IT SAYS RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR....hey guess what that means you have the right to own a firearm. SO do I and guess what I have plenty :) I will continue to exercise my RIGHT and when and if the time comes I will gladly defend your ignorant ass and YOUR freedoms as well. Now if you dont mind I am going to go exercise my RIGHT please pleasepleaseplease come and try to stop me

  • @boxingboycow and it also says a well REGULATED militia which means you cant be like those people in michiganwho formed a militia with all illegal and non registered guns and for god sakes they were planing on killing innocent police officers who get payed close to nothing to protect you and my lives and have families how would you like it if somebody killled you jsut because you were a government worker and just so you know sure by suppoerting guns and revolting youre supporting these people

  • @TheWasssssuppp you ignorant fuck, I SUPPORT THE FREEDOM OF EVERY CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY!! NOT JUST MINE OR YOURS BUT ALL. Go read the federalist documents, page 24.28. and 35. The 2nd amendment is not about the national guard or the police it is about an idividual right to keep and bear arms. Our country will only remain free as long as our citizenry can arm itself to defend their freedom from tyranny.

  • @boxingboycow omg you dont understand in the constitution it says a weel regulated Militia it does not say a well regualted person citizen you cna only bear ars if you wanna for a militia

  • @TheWasssssuppp omg you cant read can you. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR Arms, shall not be infringed. WHat you are trying to do is as stupid as saying that the first amendment only applies to churches and menisters of religion, because the begining of the amendment refers to religion. Are you stupid?

  • @TheWasssssuppp Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    See you dont have freedom of speech because it says no laws respecting the establishment of religion, so if what you say is so, then only churches have the right of free press and speech.

  • @TheWasssssuppp A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks. Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1785. The Writings of Thomas Jefferson

  • @TheWasssssuppp We established however some, although not all its [self-government] important principles . The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative,

  • @TheWasssssuppp and deciding by a jury of themselves, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved,) or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; ---Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824

  • @TheWasssssuppp No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms. ---Thomas Jefferson: Draft Virginia Constitution, 1776.

  • @TheWasssssuppp Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws,

  • @TheWasssssuppp but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive. ---Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787).

  • Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared then that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom Congress have no power to disarm the militia Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people Tenche Coxe The Pennsylvania Gazette Feb. 20 1788.

  • @boxingboycow and in the constitution when it says against government its saying against the british government and back then there were no police so i understand the founding fatehrs and you now wat i dont feel like fighting anymroe man lol its simple we make a constitutional amendment and ban guns thats pretty simple

  • @TheWasssssuppp WHAT??? The constitution of the Unidted States is not about the British government moron. When they say government in the US constitution they are talking about the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. You see idiot when the contitution was drafted and finalized and ,ade the law of the land America was already a free country seeing as the war WAS OVER...1792 sunshine a little education goes a long way. Try reading something sometime it might help you in an argument

  • @boxingboycow youre wrong but even so the us government was much different back then and coneservative have made constitutional amendments such as the flag burining amendment which is unconstitutional

  • @TheWasssssuppp making a amendment to ban guns causes a civil war, PLEASE PLEASE do it I would love to end your ideology!!

  • @boxingboycow I GOT YOUR SIX!!!!!

  • Its sickening that a 5-4 decision is over the 2nd amendment. The Constitution explicitly states that the right is for the people, the founders already knows what happened when the gov got to much power with guns. The only gun control should be for federal agents, their guns should be restricted.

  • The great equalizer. Now honest people will be able to defend themselves!

  • The only way America could be disarmed is if we were under a dictatorship.

    I hope Americans keep America alive and well. VOTE, AN BE HEARD !!!!

  • its amazing for me to see that WashintonDC has the stricktest gun laws in america ,yet also has the highest guncrime rate of our entire nation,compared to states where people are allowed to own and carry a gun,as always criminals give a crap about those laws

  • its our 2 Amendment right as AMERICANS..... take our guns away and you can double the numbers you just called out on gun violence, cause the only ones that will have the guns will be the BAD GUYS...... if you don't like guns, then don't buy one! if there's a Bad guy with a gun, and he wants to hurt [kill] me or one of my KIDS or friends, guess what! I too have a gun, but it is my right as an AMERICAN to defend myself and others!!!!! bad guy is getting Shot... end of story.

  • We here at The Surrealist Rifle Association call on all the nations true hardcore supporters of the violence principle to put the 2nd Amendment in action on all fronts--pack your shit at church,bars,clubs,little league games,grocery stores,movie theatres,court houses,emergeny rooms,birthday parties,funerals,vacation,job interviews,airports,shopping malls & especially dates.

  • @thirdshift47 You sound like an idiot. Are you mentally retarded? Just curious.

  • createdeemcee, i'm a democrat too and i gotta say, i agree with you 110%. WHY would anyone in the right mind want to destroy our second amendment, are founding fathers were not idiots. and it's our security, as our government is designed to give the people every shed of power in the end, and we should have to power to protect ourselves.

  • Everybody says the final solution to the RACE problem is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries to bring in the third world and assimilate with them. Immigration, tolerance, and especially assimilation are being used against the White race. All this immigration and intermarriage is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries. Anti-White is called anti-racist, but it leads to the disappearance of one race and only one race, the White race. It is genocide.

  • Mat 24:15

    Now! when you see the ABOMI-NATION that will CAUSE THE DESTRUCTION!

    Luke:

    I beheld Satan fall like lightening from heaven (Jesus said this)

    Aramaic Hebrew(his native tongue) translates like this!

    lightening is BARACK and heaven is BAMMA the O connects thoughts in Hebrew

    Here is the proven hebrew aramaic translation by the Hebrew scholars below!

    I BEHELD SATAN AS BARACK O BAMMA

    Wow! the fools in their arrogance elected Satan as your leader (fallenstar . us)

  • The gun ban caused 32,000 homicides since it was enacted, get it you numnuts! buy guns to protct yourself and watch those numbers go down!

  • @ravenwolf789 What is the strongest argument you have to those who think you shouldn't have guns. I have my CHL and carry maybe 50% of the time. I always keep it hidden and never tell anyone I have it. I don't see how it bothers anybody if they don't even know I have it. I try to tell people, I hope to GOD I never have to shoot another person. I only carry because of those who would do me harm. I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

  • that fat ass is so brainwashed by the commie-liberal media its sad...I'm sorry his son died but dam man, think about what your implying

    he thinks just because a criminal killed his child with a gun, that means everyone with a gun is out to kill you.

    listen jackass, responsible morale people dont pull that kind of crap,

  • haha, what a jerkoff. it's pretty much common knowledge now that gun laws only stop LAW ABIDING citizens from owning guns, it's not going to stop criminals.

    so I hope the goofball in this video gets his home invaded. I wonder what he'd be thinking... maybe he'd be thinking: "FUCK! I WISH I HAD A GUN RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!"

    dumbasses.

  • That is what YOU fools get when you infringe upon our rights to keep and bear arms when you disarm people only the criminals have them what part of that do you not understand or want to. so you live in that Sh*t and what goes with it. I will support and back all pro gun and constitutional related movement.. Arm your people works at self defense and keeping violence down. Socialist morons. YOU will never make a decision for me..

  • Funny how a ban on handguns lead to your city having the highest gun violence in the US. Laws do not prevent crime. Speed Limits do not keep people from speeding. Do you honestly think that a gun free zone is going to prevent shootings? If you are willing to commit the greater crime. You will most defenantly be willing to commit the lesser crime. I would like to see those held responsable who feel they need a gun free zone. If a shooting accures in that zone. The owner or state is responsable.

  • @saved03

    One thing to remember is to support those that take pro gun positions

    Starbucks is one that gun rights folks should support,

    Anti-gun people will slam starbucks.

    Go buy some coffee at Starbucks

    Starbucks welcomes guns!

    Spread the word!!!!!

  • I would if I could afford their stuff. I no longer call states who restrict firearms, restricted states. I now call them infringment states. The media is all's asking how they got the guns. They never ask why in the hell was that place disarmed. It's the reality of the world. Criminals get their stuff by any and all means. Why do we allow them the upper hand. Mass shooting would stop if they quit infringing upon the 2nd Amendment.

  • Stupid black man (btw i am not a racist).The crime rate in D.C. is lower since the lifting of the handgun ban. I'm very sorry your son died, but what if your son had a gun at that time? Don't you think that he would at least have a chance of living because he had the means to defend himself? And your son probably was shot when the handgun ban was still in effect, which shows the meaningless of the ban.Taking away guns will just lead to more deaths. More guns equal less crime.

  • @dongochu

  • ? Starbucks?

  • Funny that across that bridge in VA, violent crime hardly exists. then right there is one of the U.S. murder capitals. Common sense will tell you that the fear factor alone simply will deter a criminal from harming you. The thought that a possible victim may be a gun carrier is the best medicine. P.S. Im a democrat.

  • Wow. Your a democrat? Huh. I never saw a gun rights supporter who's a democrat. Why not be a Republican?

  • Because I believe in free opportunities for all americans. No matter where your from.

  • @createdeemcee Would to God we had more Democrats like you.

  • only the criminals can have guns. if your a law abiding citizen then sorry. lol

  • highest murder rate in our nation and they have the strictest gun laws in our nation. Shocking! When criminals know they can have a gun because they dont follow law a law abiding citzen is a sitting duck. You can not blame a gun for a crime. Its the person who uses the inanimate object to commit the crime that is at fault.

  • also most criminals get their guns from the black market or other illegal means. Making guns illegal will just take away the guns of good law abiding citizens.

  • funny how the news never reports that gun crime is lower in DC now that the handgun ban isnt there anymore, if anything should be banned than its one sided bias media

  • @cqb5787325- THANK YOU. I fucking hate when the public are prejudice on gun owners because of what they see and hear from the media and dumbass hollywood action movies. Stupid, ignorant public.

  • Alan Keyes for President BTW, The Romans driven out of Great Britain after 400 years of their 'armed occupation'. The Anglo-Saxons (the English Language) took power. Their well known basic rule of law: "The man armed with a Sword is a Free Man, The man without...is a 'Slave'". Case closed..

  • Goddamned AP...

    If they were real journalists, they would point out that D.C. gun crime has risen dramatically since the celebrated "Ban."

    Same with Chicago... same with Great Britain...

    These selfsame "Journalists" wonder - genuinely wonder - why their about to go bankrupt.

  • I love how that father had no logical thinking whatsoever... my son was shot by a gun DURING a gun ban so guns should stay banned!... lol

    I guess I can't blame him, hes a bad person to ask about the right to bear arms since he is emotional from the death of a family member. Laws and rights should never be connected with emotions..

  • Yea 8,000 homicides!! The ban apparently hasn't done jack shit for that crap hole. Maybe if his son had a gun on him, he might still be alive. Also look at arizona n texas. They have one of the lowest crime rates and people practically walk around with guns in their hands. The numbers speak for themselves. Outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns

  • @mrfelix510 - and look at Britain, where gun and knife violence has skyrocketed since both guns and knives have been banned. Britain has 130,000 knife attacks every year (basically the worse statistics of any country), and yet carrying a knife of any kind in Britain is illegal. Go figure.

    Of course the same people who want to ban guns are the same ones who criticize hunters for killing animals, then go to a nice restaurant to enjoy their steak.

  • if you dont like guns.

    MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THE USA!!!!!!

  • Amen

  • All I have to say is thank god for the Supreme Court!

    Banning guns is not the way to go to cut down on crime.

    Fixing the economy, by practicing sound money, and enacting trade laws that favor the states, is the way to go to take a chunk out of crime.

  • the criminals and rivaling gangs will have their guns no matter how much big brother tries to restrict our 2nd ammendment right. so what sense does it make to disarm law abiding citizens to protect themselves and others? i think some of the most dangerous places in america r the schools and universities or should i say "gun free" zones.yeah for our safety there r no guns aloud even after all the shootings.i wonder what would have hapened if there were armed teachers, professors and college stude

  • I hate to be the one that posts this, but youtube "clifton casida" and watch "The Liberty Battle"

    Home made, Offensive video

  • Ban guns and only bad people will have guns.

  • People were killing each other long before guns came along, and they'll be killing each other long after their gone. It makes no difference what the weapon is, the point is, guns don't kill people, people kill people. There are just too many people crammed into confined spaces like cities, it's going to happen more frequently, taking guns away will make no difference. If criminals want the guns, they will get them regardless of the consequences.

  • I'm a gun owner and proud of it!

  • All over the world except UNIQUE U.S.A. Everything is about freakin rights. Its redundant & the country is spoiled. Ever notice statistics of crimes in other countries & why it rarely happens that u'd hear some1 has been killed? I dont remember ever watchin TV & not hearing a killing incident in. even a 100 incidents a day of a child picking up a gun wouldnt change American's minds. Its Sad. but continue on cuz after all it is ur rights . As some1 once said, "A word to a wise is Enough".

  • lol wow you must be stupid. Bodies lay in the streets n dirt in other countries. You don't hear about it because there is no law. In mexico thousands of women are being raped and killed right along the border. The gun is the law of the land. And if you don't like free Americans so much just leave and go get shot by some drug cartels lol

  • It is just simply sad, wen ever there is a person trying to make the world a better place people do the opposite and rally against u. No matter how many crimes there R, people will just never get it into their thick skulls that this is wat happens wen every1 feels the right to own a gun. if there were No guns u wouldn't NEED protection. Not even the bunch of red necks that fight for gun rights would ever stop when their son picks up a gun n shoots their lil girl by accident. sad. Simple.

  • There will still be gun crime even if we banned in the U.S. Fucking spare me! how fucking stupid do you haft to be to have your firearm within arms reach of a child? that's just poor parenting it's not the guns fault it's the kids. And really you haft to make a conscious decision to shoot a gun so it's people not guns that are bad.

  • thats because their sons aren't pussies and were raised with guns and learned at a very young age that guns aren't toys. Really its psychology. You take something away from someone, they are going to want to play with it. You put it in their hands and teach them to respect its power they put it down.

  • As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse.Of the 2.5 million times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, the overwhelming majority merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8% of the time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker

  • Guns used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year -- or about 6,850 times a day. This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives.

  • As John Lott has proved time & time again, more guns less violence. His son would still be alive if there had been a law abiding citizen around that day with a weapon. Instead, the gun control mentality snares another victim in the quest to protect the criminals by disarming the people.

  • Drugs are illegal. Do criminals care?

    If you make guns illegal, you only disarm law abiding citizens' right to defend themselves. If someone mowes down a group of people with their SUV because they are mad, will we ban SUVs?

  • Yes!

    If thousands of people suddenly turn SUVs into weapons for sole purpose off killing, they would.

    Suv s aren't made to kill are they? So your argument doesn't even make sense.

    You're comparing something that is made to KILL, to something thats used for family transportation. The easier the gun is designed to kill, the better the gun.

    Don't make stupid comparisons. I don't care how dumb, somebody is. You clearly know the difference.

  • actually your almost right. Alot more automobiles kill people than guns and I would rather die by gun fire than stabbed multiple times with a knife, have my head beaten in with a baseball bat, or strangled with some rope.... ect... ect....

  • "If guns cause crime do matches cause arson? " "When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns". " An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject." There are more guns than people where I live but it's one of the most crime free areas in the nation.

  • How can any adult, Kenneth Barnes in this video, be so damned ignorant? Is it public indoctrination, I mean education?

  • I rather be prepared then scared

  • i have lived in Texas all my life. the city i live in has one of the highest number of concealed handgun license possessors. in the 22 years i have been here i can only recall two times i ever heard of violent crime in this city. DC has seen more than 8000 homicides in the last 32 years. this is proof that gun control does not work. it only gives criminals the upper hand. if you were a criminal... would you commit crime were you know a vast majority of the people carry guns.  wake up people!

  • Kenneth Barnes makes no sense. they are not putting more guns on the streets. they are putting guns into the hands of law abiding citizens to protect themselves form the guns already on the streets. i guarantee crime in DC will drop because of this gun ban being lifted. .

  • Kenneth Barnes, maybe if your son was armed he could have defended himself. And, MOST people dont get killed in random shootings. This may or may not be true for you but those shootouts in DC are between criminals who diserve to die. They get guns illigaly and will continue to do so even if a "no guns law" is passed, so why not help even the odds by letting the law abiding people of the country arm themselfs for protection.

  • What do you need protection from?

  • criminals that have guns and shoot people like the guys son. criminals will always have guns even if they are outlawed in the US, so we might aswell even the playing field.

  • Its not even? Why do we have Police? We might as well have a Sheriff and a Deputy and thats it, with that attitude. Its not the civilians job to play vigilante. That leads to total K oS. More innocent people will be shot. Who judges a criminal act if everybody is holding guns. A mail man will get shot by some paranoid wako for trying to deliver mail. LOL

  • The police take too long to respond to an emergency inwhich a person could be killed in seconds. an intruder can reach you anywhere in your house on average in 30 seconds. thats not even enough time to call 911. now i can see that we will probably never agree on this issue so lets leave it at that. ill have my guns and you can live without them. that is why our country is so great cause we can choose how we want to live.

  • What part of the USA do you live where people are just running in and out of every ones homes with guns in there hands? LOL

    People like you sound like they sleep on a vault full of gold. If thats the case hire trained security. If you have nothing to protect, I can't see why some one would just randomly run into your home with a gun. Are you in a gang? Did shoot some one? Are you wanted?

    Normal citizens have no reason to own
