0:00

hey everyone me kevin here gun violence

0:01

in the country is an epidemic and we've

0:04

got to talk about what just happened

0:06

last night and i've got a big question

0:08

for you last night in greenwood indiana

0:11

in a shopping mall at 6 p.m we heard

0:14

that a gunman opened fire with a long

0:16

gun rifle we're not exactly sure what

0:18

yet in a food court which is a place

0:20

that you should be able to allow your

0:23

kids to play on the food court

0:24

playground or focus on sampling orange

0:27

chicken versus the garlic bread that the

0:29

pizza place is going to offer you as a

0:31

free sample and instead turned into a

0:34

zone of war of gunfire

0:37

and folks what we want to take away from

0:39

this is first of all that three innocent

0:42

people lost their lives two were injured

0:45

and the gunman was killed

0:48

but what i really want to highlight and

0:50

i want to open a dialogue about is

0:53

the gunman

0:54

dying and how he died and do we think

0:57

that there's a way how this gunman died

1:00

could be replicated to end mass

1:02

shootings almost as soon as they begin

1:05

sooner

1:06

rather than later that's the

1:08

conversation that we want to have

1:10

because generally there are two

1:12

arguments on the left there's the

1:15

argument that what we need in order to

1:17

limit gun violence is more gun control

1:21

for example in the state of california

1:22

california believes that

1:24

legal gun owners should have implements

1:26

attached to devices like rifles that

1:28

make it harder for you to put your

1:31

finger around them for example like a

1:33

trigger guard for you to put your thumb

1:34

around the handle so it's harder to use

1:37

at extended periods of time yet that

1:39

trigger guard is attached by two screws

1:43

that any criminal would simply or

1:45

somebody who's intent on implementing a

1:47

mass shooting would just

1:49

unscrew because who's going to pay

1:51

attention to that gun control law when

1:53

you could just unscrew it with two

1:55

screws it seems silly and nonsensical or

1:58

magazine limits that have plenty of

2:00

loopholes that allow individuals to

2:02

simply have larger cap magazines but

2:04

then again why are we punishing good

2:06

people with guns when it's bad people

2:08

with guns that we should be punishing

2:09

and bad people with guns don't care

2:11

about your magazine limits in fact let's

2:14

even attach larger magazines like 30

2:17

round barrel magazines to glocks

2:20

anyway the point is gun control seems to

2:23

be the focus of what our current

2:26

governments especially like those in

2:27

california focus on or new york

2:31

but something that we don't focus a lot

2:33

on which we really should focus a lot

2:36

more on is what i consider to be lawful

2:40

gun ownership with training

2:43

combined with a combination a

2:46

combination very important more

2:48

mental education in our schools and

2:51

services mental education plus

2:53

and financial education and services

2:56

right that's our plus

2:58

and more medical services to help people

3:00

with depression and despair or other

3:03

problems we've got a society that has

3:06

problems we should be spending money on

3:08

solving these problems

3:10

at the same time encouraging lawful gun

3:13

ownership why because folks this

3:16

shooting in this indiana mall was

3:18

stopped by a 22 year old legally

3:22

carrying a firearm

3:24

it was stopped almost as soon as it

3:26

began

3:28

this this shooting this horrible

3:30

shooting in greenwood indiana could have

3:32

been another absolutely horrific

3:35

disaster and it already was with three

3:38

innocent people losing their lives but

3:40

unfortunately the mainstream media

3:42

doesn't like to talk about

3:44

more mental health spending or more uh

3:48

positivity towards illegal gun ownership

3:50

like let's talk about gun training

3:51

rather than gun control right and the

3:53

sad thing is it seems like the

3:55

mainstream media is burying the story

3:57

here's the front page of the new york

3:59

times

4:00

no mention no matter how far you scroll

4:03

here is the front page of cnn no mention

4:07

no matter how far you scroll it just

4:10

goes to show the mainstream media

4:12

doesn't want to cover this story let's

4:14

try to understand why because it seems

4:16

like it doesn't fit into their regular

4:18

narrative let's instead talk about how

4:20

we could have

4:21

a legally

4:23

armed society when they want to be and

4:26

trained if they want to be at very

4:28

affordable prices or potentially

4:30

sponsored by the government so that way

4:32

we can limit further loss of life

4:34

because here's the reality and we're

4:36

actually going to purposely look at a

4:38

left leaning source for this we're going

4:41

to look at this new york times chart and

4:43

see that

4:44

of

4:45

mass shootings

4:48

57

4:50

of them 57 percent

4:52

end before the police arrive

4:54

which suggests that if 57 of attacks end

4:57

before the police arrive more than half

5:00

of the shootings will be over more than

5:02

half of all mass shootings will be over

5:05

before the police arrive

5:07

and even if they arrive and you end up

5:08

with officers like we had over at the

5:10

uvalde shooting they might not even do

5:13

anything

5:14

now i don't want to get political about

5:16

what happened in texas i think it's

5:17

terrible what happened in texas but the

5:19

point is just focus on the 57 percent of

5:21

the time that attacks happen how do they

5:23

end most of the time well folks 75 of

5:25

the time the mass shooters get to kill

5:28

so many people that they get tired and

5:30

they leave the scene

5:32

or they kill themselves

5:34

that should be

5:36

flipped

5:37

because only 25 of the time they're

5:39

ended by bystanders and that is because

5:41

in my opinion even though the mainstream

5:44

media is trying to say look only 22

5:47

uh times out of all these attacks where

5:50

shootings ended by a bystander with a

5:52

gun

5:53

the mainstream media is trying to

5:54

indicate that c guns don't help that

5:56

much the reality is we've got to ask

5:59

ourselves how many people are actually

6:01

actively carrying a gun

6:03

legally and are prepared to use it my

6:06

guess is on a regular average day in a

6:08

regular mall

6:09

maybe one to five percent of people

6:12

actually have a weapon

6:15

if

6:16

legally trained citizens who wanted to

6:19

carry a gun and were allowed to get gun

6:22

permits or or even subsidies to help

6:25

them properly train to use weapons if

6:27

these were the directions that our

6:29

government wanted to bring society

6:31

maybe we could see 5 to 15 percent of

6:35

people actually carrying which then we

6:37

would go to a chart like this and we

6:39

could potentially see that a substantial

6:42

portion of these shootings that end up

6:43

getting stopped by the attacker

6:44

themselves because they're done killing

6:46

people could get stopped earlier by

6:49

bystanders with weapons

6:51

now that's an opinion that's a thesis it

6:53

could be wrong but i want to know what

6:55

you think

6:56

is it possible that we could end more

6:59

mass shootings if governments focused on

7:02

things first of all like preventing mass

7:05

shootings in the first place by focusing

7:07

on mental education and financial

7:10

education to try to prevent or treat

7:12

despair and depression by increasing the

7:15

services that we provide to people

7:17

because people need services that's what

7:19

government's supposed to be there for

7:21

but then rather than punishing

7:24

legal gun owners how about actually

7:26

supporting legal gun owners so

7:28

supporting legal gun ownership to

7:31

potentially be able to have more folks

7:34

capable of intervening in the event of

7:35

mass shootings

7:37

before the police actually arrive i want

7:41

to know your thoughts in the comments

7:42

down below let me know what you think
