Gun Control: Rachel Maddow's Liberal Racism (Part 1/2)

[ClassicFIHD]

Hey, isn't there a law that requires seat belts be worn in Pittsburgh? Gotta love how liberals only pay attention to laws when it suits them. Funny how mid-sentence his seat belt disappears and the background changes at 1:45 to 1:55.

[ClassicFIHD]

I love when liberals bring up the old wild west. But in the old wild west I heard about good guys carried guns too.

[Etimos]

900 views since june, and a 3 to 1 dislike ratio. How does it feel to be mister popular? Lol.

[lalakers480]

This clown doesn't mention anything about the particular incidents. Were the guns purchased at gun shows? I will bet they weren't even purchased legally. Note to self: Criminals do not obey laws. The "laws" he mentions will not make a difference in the world. You will never stop the crime by banning guns, because the criminals don't obey laws.

[ccsmiley2]

@lalakers480 No, but you can keep the criminal from obtaining a lethal weapon without obstruction and without keeping citizens from them.

[bradburdick]

@ccsmiley2 ---Yeah, pass more laws. It's already illegal for a criminal to purchase a gun (from a store). We all know criminals follow laws......not. They will steal one or buy it on the black market. 

[ccsmiley2]

@bradburdick Good luck stealing from a gun store! So let's just make it legal for anyone to buy a gun, fool. You don't reject laws because you think people will break them. People are going to murder each other anyway, so why make it illegal?

[ZerqTM]

I think best argumet for gun controll is that guns cant stop bullets,

a society where people esentialy have to be armed to teeth and clad in ceramic plate armor is fucked up

[tonybigman3]

people kill guns dont,its taking personal responsibility,just put the blame on being dumb.



[badeyebill50]

Why do we need more laws??? its already AGAINST the law to shoot somebody isnt it???

[Uncrazamatic]

Guns don't kill people.I do!Semper Fi!Your welcome!

[AmericansForGuns0com]

How many crimes are committed with 'assault' weapons, dolt?

Few...VERY few.

handguns are the most used type of gun used in violent crimes so LOGICALLY banning 'assault' weapons does pretty much ZERO where crime is concerned.

But Brady drones arent actually interested in logic or facts....but only in feel good bull#$%# that doesnt really add up to much of anything.

[AmericansForGuns0com]

Thanks to the idiot driving for showing how much violent crime is out there and thereby proving OUR argument that law abiding citizens should be allowed to carry a gun to defend themselves from the criminals who commit this violence.

Of course this maggot probably has armed security so he doesnt likely live in the real world WE live in.

[TheDevindevine]

ok no guns do not directly cause crime you know what does..... poverty the higher the poverty rate in a area the higher the crime rate is if you really care about your so called gun rights then you should have framed the critique that way but i guess you dont care you just like being hateful way to go

[SailTCB]

Sure, the KFC and the Chicken and Waffle closed because of guns, nothing to do with the customers. Were guns not in your neighborhood when these places opened up????

[SailTCB]

Not once in this entire first segment did this moron mention that their was any reason for violence in his community other than guns. His constituents have no responsibility. He actually says, that otherwise less violent disputes become violent because people can own guns. I am a CWP holder that carries concealed everyday and so do all my friends. We have not shot anyone nor will we unless confronted by a criminal.

[SailTCB]

Do you even know what an assult rifle is your moron? You do not even understand the laws or the topic on which you are speaking.

[SailTCB]

What an unbelieveable JackAss this man is. The NRA is to blame your violence in your neighborhood. Nothing to do with the people that are in it. Get rid of guns and it would be all bake sales and lemonade stands. I had to take a break to donate more money to the NRA. I live in a good neighborhood and take comfort in owning guns, I would want an arsenal if I lived in his.

[SailTCB]

Perhaps you should look at the people who are commiting the crimes instead of the guns. Even if you could eliminate guns with laws (good luck, see war on drugs) the violent people would still exist. Do you think violence will stop because one tool in the shed is missing? Why should law abiding citizens in your community be denied the right to self defense if the place is so violent? And what are you doing to curb the violence itself. You need to reexamine your positon.

[endwelfare]

1982 THEY MADE IT MANDATORY TO OWN A GUN IN KENNESAW, GA. SINCE THEN THERE HAS BEEN ZERO MURDERS AND THE CRIME RATE IS ONE OF THE LOWEST IN THE NATION. AND THE CITY IS 19% BLACK 14% HISPANIC

[endwelfare]

GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE BLACK PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE AND WHITE PEOPLE OWN GUNS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM BLACK PEOPLE. WE HAVE TO KEEP GUNS IN CIRCULATION TO KEEP THE BLACK POPULATION TO A MINUMUM

[nitewolf89]

do you actually believe stricter gun laws or even gun control meaning no civilian can own a gun {which is UN constitutional] will stop crime or "gun violence" n why is it when civilians use a gun in self-defense in a bad neighborhood it's called gun violence but when a cop or soldier uses them it's not? n it's fact that in crime ridden areas in the inner cities gun laws are more strict n thus crime is higher do your research before you comment or make a documentary [rachel maddows]

[FromanMD]

80% of those homicides occurred in the 5 largest cities in the US(and their suburbs) and 3 of those cities have the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. Literally the Firearm homicide rate by legal US citizens that didn't pull some shenanigans to bypass our laws in less than 9,000 and 80% of those are committed by people who obtained their guns illegally!Legally obtained guns in the hands of Legally qualified owners are 12% resulting in 982 homicides per year.Only 982 deaths could be stopped

[FromanMD]

Gun Control Causes Crime. This place has strict gun control and horrible crime. It's a proven fact by the Dept of Justice Statistics and University Studies. /watch?v=qyoLuTjguJA

[pkt1106]

Guess if he got in a wreck while filming this, he would blame the automakers because he wasn't wearing his seat belt......isn't that a PA state law?

[lalakers480]

@pkt1106 Sure looks like he is being distracted to me. He may be putting more people in harms way by conducting an interview while driving. Talk about a hypocrite!

[ndworker]

gun or gang. this man is a dirtbag who blaims everything on the object not the people

[jinto1980]

@TheDaviniumXX

Not you, but criminals would have another skill other than thuggery.

[jinto1980]

@TheDaviniumXX

Yes, but then you would have a skill other than thuggery.

[ekjohndeer]

Rachel why havnt you interviewed the Present or Eric Holder Oh thats right its OK when its a Liberal ( reference to Fast and Furious)

[duanescot]

WTF is an AR14?? This dude is a fucking moron just like rachel madcow, just more black community activists that refuse to take accountabity for themselves, my only regret in all this is that these two werent' systematically slaughtered during the filming of this blatant propaganda piece

[savage495]

@duanescot it's like an AR-15 but the scary orphan/cop-killing version. It's one of the many High-caliber, rapid sprayfire, Assault weapons. that the NRA puts on "the streets".

[jinto1980]

Guns don't kill people, bullets do lets ban bullets. You can have your guns, but you gotta make your own ammo. That should cut down on gun violence don't you think.

[b2bie]

great video. stupid title.

[Xytos]

all disliked must be fake.

[THX1146]

Most legal gun owners aren't shooting people. This is about content of character not gun ownership. Don't be left disarmed by idiots like Maddow. Some people are just savages and alot of those people hate you because your not.

[kanto2233]

@THX1146 You obviously do not want to follow the narrative because you have already come to a conclusion. A sign of a closed mind...and a republicunt

[jav8or]

Im from brooklyn. I know dangerous neighborhoods. Guns are dangerous but are not the root of the problem. The root of the problem is the culture of voilence and of lack of respect for the law. If gang members didnt have guns they would use knives. If not knives bats. etc...

[bollo3000]

Did you hear him listing the people close to him killed by gun violence? Do you really think that some of them would not be alive today if there wasn't such easy access to firearms?

She went to this neighbourhood because this is where people are being killed.

[liberalsareracist]

@bollo3000 You're right. I guess freedom does kill black people.

[FromanMD]

@bollo3000 Baloney,of the highest per capita murder rates in the world the US ranks quite low and is the highest for Gun Ownership.Countries like Malaysia where there are ZERO GUNS in private hands have murder rates 5x that of the USA and that is because violent crime is caused by POVERTY & POPULATION DENSITY. Killers would be killing if they had to use shivs and stones because they are poor, angry and crowded into ghettos . Venzuala and Brazil make Homewood PA look like Kindergarten,lol

[bollo3000]

@FromanMD USA has the highest murder rate amongst developed western countries. It's true that there are a lot of very unstable and dangerous countries in the world and sad when America needs to compare itself with them to look good. Malasia has 1.5 guns in private hands per 100 people. It's true that the US needs to sort out its poverty and inequaqlity problems, but throwing guns into the mix just causes more death.

[FromanMD]

@bollo3000,Uh over 1/3 of our population are immigrants from those unstable countries.Native US citizens have crime rates similar to France and Spain even with the extreme economic disparity. We have LEGAL gun ownership approaching 100 MILLION gun owners with 390 MILLION guns and they are not the problem.They commit fewer than 1/32 of the firearms crimes.The criminal element in the US will be killing each other with hammers and machetes quietly when they can't smuggle or steal any more loud guns

[bollo3000]

@FromanMD The US foreign-born population is around 13.5%. How do you define a "Native US citizen"? It's not very often that a child is killed in the crossfire by a stray hammer.

[FromanMD]

@bollo3000 Here is the breakdown:Suicide 16,883; Homicide 12,791; Accident 642; Legal Intervention 360; Undetermined 220. Official statistics deny the presence of an estimated 40 MILLION illegal immigrants who combined with their venally naturalized offspring/dependents are responsible for 36% of all of the criminal homicides in the US.That means they commit 4,604 of those firearms homicides leaving 8,187 Firearms homicides per year for 340,000,000 people!

[FromanMD]

@bollo3000 So less than 1000 deaths per year could be stopped by a TOTAL GUN BAN in the United States of America because only those who go through legal channels to obtain guns would be affected. There are 390,000,000 guns in the United States(more if you count smuggled foreign machineguns and stolen military guns) with each legal gun owner owning an average of 3.9 guns(typically shotgun,rifle,pistol and 22lr).You're almost as likely to be struck by lighting as to be killed by a legal firearm

[FromanMD]

@bollo3000 In addition:It is estimated that firearms are used as a deterrent to violent crime and homicides nearly 650,000 times per year according to a University of Chicago study.If all of those legal gun owners complied with a total gun ban the violent crime and murder rates would SKYROCKET with 650,000 aremd robberies,rapes and murders going unchecked by armed citizens.

[SailTCB]

@bollo3000 How dum is this. Only 2 minutes into it and this politician lists all the violence that surrounds his family and he blames our right to own guns. He just asked why would an ordinary citizen need a rifle. Here's your answer: to protect themselves from people like your family. I live in a nice neighborhood where many of us own and carry guns. We don't shoot each other and the only time I remember a gun being used was to defend against a home invasion, sucessfully I might add.

[thepolice911copeland]

@bollo3000 hahaha criminals dont buy guns from the store hahahaha

[Homie14a]

It sounds like this city has a CRIME problem not a gun problem. Criminals are going to use whatever they can in order to do crime, however the sudden acquisition of a firearm does not make someone a criminal. People need to understand that criminals choose to commit crimes and that is the consequence of living in a free nation, people have a right to choose what they do and when they make a choice they must live with the consequences of that choice. Do not blame guns for peoples choices.

[dtrmp4]

@Homie14a You're right. It's a free country and if someone wants to shoot up my house with an AK-47 they just got without a background check at a gun show, more power to them. It's more important that we have the freedom to do absolutely anything we want (which we don't btw) than to have even the slightest restriction on our freedoms.

[Homie14a]

@dtrmp4 What is the difference between a responsible gun owner and a criminal? The criminal uses the firearm to commit a crime. Why does it matter if there was a background check or not a responsible citizen could purchase the AK-47 and pass by your house saying "I could shoot up his house, but I won't" That is what needs to be addressed, the choice. I understand we don't have the freedom to do whatever we want, the only restriction should be when you impede on the freedoms of others.

[quedorf]

@Homie14a I am thinking 14 is your age, because your comment shows a great deal of immaturity. People have the right to do what they want and must live with the consequences. BUT with many crimes (for example gun crimes), it is not only the person who takes the right to choose who has to live with it. If you are shot in the head and not killed, yet must live as a vegetable, you DID NOT make that choice, and because of your foolish ideas of liberty, you must live with someone else's choice.

[Homie14a]

@quedorf My ideas of liberty are not the reason people are making the choice to use firearms to commit crimes. Yes being shot by someone else is not a choice of the victim and it is unfortunate that they must live with that, but the shooting was still a crime that the criminal had the intention of committing with or without my ideas of liberty. 

[quedorf]

@Homie14a No, your idea of liberty is not the reason that an individual commits a crime, but it is the reason that guns are easily accessed by criminals, and thus you carry a piece of responsibility by condoning easy free access to firearms. This is the same argument used by T. Nugent except from a different point of view. He essentially says that many crimes are committed because those in power allow criminals out of prison prematurely. They are equally at fault as those who push for lean laws.

[Homie14a]

@quedorf Crimes are not committed because of other people, you cannot blame others for the actions of another. That is like saying "I killed her because she cheated on me, she drove me to do it!" No she did not, that individual pulled the trigger just like criminals commit crimes not those who grant them early release. In the United States we have a 66% (approx.) recidivism rate, that means even those whose sentences are fully served still commit crimes. So is it the prison system or the person.

[quedorf]

@Homie14a If you leave a gun on a table unattended, and a individual takes it and commits a crime with it, you do carry some responsibility by carelessly leaving a gun around. Same situation. If you support easy access to guns, and these gun are used in a crime, you carry some responsibility as you are part of the reason the guns are so easily obtained. Because of a unreasonable idea of liberties at all costs.

[Homie14a]

@quedorf Does fault lie with the owner if the criminal used a knife instead? Knives are left unattended in open drawers? Why do we attack gun owners and anti-gun control advocates but not knife owners or blame knives themselves for numerous death each year? Gun are placed in such a negative light when, just like knives, they are tools governed by our choices. Your second statement is completely wrong! You can not charge anyone for the choices of others simply because they advocate any belief.

[quedorf]

@Homie14a Kitchen knives are not comparable. Under that logic, everything including grenades and nuclear weapons are also tools governed by our choices. As a society we must draw a line, when weapons become more dangerous, and posses a greater ability to kill, of where to stop the insanity. And of course guns are placed in a negative light. They are the most destructive weapons allowed by society.

Also where did I say those people can be charged. I said they carry some responsibility.

[Homie14a]

@quedorf When did grenades and nukes become sentient? They are tools just as knives and firearms are! There is a line, when you impede on the rights of others, by the way what insanity? It is not anarchy, responsible owners of firearms prevent thousands of crimes each year. It is provably untrue that guns are the most dangerous weapons allowed by society, cars are the most dangerous. They, by law, can be defined as a weapon and car collisions cause far more death then firearms.

[quedorf]

@Homie14a Sentient.. How is that even relevant? That is a dumb argument, and trying to pass the buck. Yes weapons need a person to use them as weapons, BUT I, and most rational people, would far sooner have a criminal with a knife than a firearm, or grenade. People who possess firearms cause as much harm as they prevent, they just choose to ignore those events, or use the no true scotsman argument. And cars are not a weapon by design. Firearms are. Another attempt to confuse the argument.

[Homie14a]

@quedorf Your argument suggests that we should remove guns from criminals hands, which is preferable but not possible. We cannot ban guns as a whole and the restrictions we pass do little to nothing to remove violence, criminals will obtain the banned firearms anyway. History shows that the more restrictions we pass the more crime rises, prohibition, the war on drugs...ect, so reducing gun violence is not the answer because it does nothing to reduce violence as a whole.

[alexiuzzz]

@quedorf Total freedom and anarchy are really not that different..

[midwestshitty]

Everything will be sunshine and rainbows if they got rid of guns. This guy is a moron. He blames guns and the NRA for all of his city's problem. Good stuff.

Of course, Maddow goes to "the ghetto" to do a story on gun control. Nobody would believe her if she went to a white neighborhood and just made shit up like she did here. Funny how African-Americans are always the example of why we should ban guns(except from police and military).

[Vandal49]

I went to school high school in Homewood! (It is a dangerous place, but not so much because of the people who live there. Gangs come in from outside). Anyway, thanks for the upload. Title it whatever you like, it's great to get more Maddow!

[dtrmp4]

Thanks for the upload, Rachel Maddow is great. An automatic weapons ban would also be great.

[CRACKTAST1C]
