LYING in Plain Sight: The Flawed MEDIA Narrative on Guns.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me kevin here gun violence
in the country is an epidemic and we've
got to talk about what just happened
last night and i've got a big question
for you last night in greenwood indiana
in a shopping mall at 6 p.m we heard
that a gunman opened fire with a long
gun rifle we're not exactly sure what
yet in a food court which is a place
that you should be able to allow your
kids to play on the food court
playground or focus on sampling orange
chicken versus the garlic bread that the
pizza place is going to offer you as a
free sample and instead turned into a
zone of war of gunfire
and folks what we want to take away from
this is first of all that three innocent
people lost their lives two were injured
and the gunman was killed
but what i really want to highlight and
i want to open a dialogue about is
the gunman
dying and how he died and do we think
that there's a way how this gunman died
could be replicated to end mass
shootings almost as soon as they begin
sooner
rather than later that's the
conversation that we want to have
because generally there are two
arguments on the left there's the
argument that what we need in order to
limit gun violence is more gun control
for example in the state of california
california believes that
legal gun owners should have implements
attached to devices like rifles that
make it harder for you to put your
finger around them for example like a
trigger guard for you to put your thumb
around the handle so it's harder to use
at extended periods of time yet that
trigger guard is attached by two screws
that any criminal would simply or
somebody who's intent on implementing a
mass shooting would just
unscrew because who's going to pay
attention to that gun control law when
you could just unscrew it with two
screws it seems silly and nonsensical or
magazine limits that have plenty of
loopholes that allow individuals to
simply have larger cap magazines but
then again why are we punishing good
people with guns when it's bad people
with guns that we should be punishing
and bad people with guns don't care
about your magazine limits in fact let's
even attach larger magazines like 30
round barrel magazines to glocks
anyway the point is gun control seems to
be the focus of what our current
governments especially like those in
california focus on or new york
but something that we don't focus a lot
on which we really should focus a lot
more on is what i consider to be lawful
gun ownership with training
combined with a combination a
combination very important more
mental education in our schools and
services mental education plus
and financial education and services
right that's our plus
and more medical services to help people
with depression and despair or other
problems we've got a society that has
problems we should be spending money on
solving these problems
at the same time encouraging lawful gun
ownership why because folks this
shooting in this indiana mall was
stopped by a 22 year old legally
carrying a firearm
it was stopped almost as soon as it
began
this this shooting this horrible
shooting in greenwood indiana could have
been another absolutely horrific
disaster and it already was with three
innocent people losing their lives but
unfortunately the mainstream media
doesn't like to talk about
more mental health spending or more uh
positivity towards illegal gun ownership
like let's talk about gun training
rather than gun control right and the
sad thing is it seems like the
mainstream media is burying the story
here's the front page of the new york
times
no mention no matter how far you scroll
here is the front page of cnn no mention
no matter how far you scroll it just
goes to show the mainstream media
doesn't want to cover this story let's
try to understand why because it seems
like it doesn't fit into their regular
narrative let's instead talk about how
we could have
a legally
armed society when they want to be and
trained if they want to be at very
affordable prices or potentially
sponsored by the government so that way
we can limit further loss of life
because here's the reality and we're
actually going to purposely look at a
left leaning source for this we're going
to look at this new york times chart and
see that
of
mass shootings
57
of them 57 percent
end before the police arrive
which suggests that if 57 of attacks end
before the police arrive more than half
of the shootings will be over more than
half of all mass shootings will be over
before the police arrive
and even if they arrive and you end up
with officers like we had over at the
uvalde shooting they might not even do
anything
now i don't want to get political about
what happened in texas i think it's
terrible what happened in texas but the
point is just focus on the 57 percent of
the time that attacks happen how do they
end most of the time well folks 75 of
the time the mass shooters get to kill
so many people that they get tired and
they leave the scene
or they kill themselves
that should be
flipped
because only 25 of the time they're
ended by bystanders and that is because
in my opinion even though the mainstream
media is trying to say look only 22
uh times out of all these attacks where
shootings ended by a bystander with a
gun
the mainstream media is trying to
indicate that c guns don't help that
much the reality is we've got to ask
ourselves how many people are actually
actively carrying a gun
legally and are prepared to use it my
guess is on a regular average day in a
regular mall
maybe one to five percent of people
actually have a weapon
if
legally trained citizens who wanted to
carry a gun and were allowed to get gun
permits or or even subsidies to help
them properly train to use weapons if
these were the directions that our
government wanted to bring society
maybe we could see 5 to 15 percent of
people actually carrying which then we
would go to a chart like this and we
could potentially see that a substantial
portion of these shootings that end up
getting stopped by the attacker
themselves because they're done killing
people could get stopped earlier by
bystanders with weapons
now that's an opinion that's a thesis it
could be wrong but i want to know what
you think
is it possible that we could end more
mass shootings if governments focused on
things first of all like preventing mass
shootings in the first place by focusing
on mental education and financial
education to try to prevent or treat
despair and depression by increasing the
services that we provide to people
because people need services that's what
government's supposed to be there for
but then rather than punishing
legal gun owners how about actually
supporting legal gun owners so
supporting legal gun ownership to
potentially be able to have more folks
capable of intervening in the event of
mass shootings
before the police actually arrive i want
to know your thoughts in the comments
down below let me know what you think
