There is no discussion about gun violence in New York city,
without discussing the iron pipeline.
That is Florida Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia,
Pennsylvania, and Honorary mention to Ohio.
Where 70%, of likely illegal traffic guns found in New York city come from.
There's no discussion about gun violence in Chicago without talking about Indiana.
Because the violence and the mothers that we have to comfort, are losing children.
Due to the guns and the carnage on the lawlessness unleashed by those states.
>> And that is an indisputable point.
The right will say, well, why is it that there is
still gun violence in these absolutely massive cities that have gun control?
And they will often exaggerate the amount of violence that ignore the violence that
happens in their own state.
But AOC points out that,
if you could cross a state border that's really close by and bring in guns.
That's gonna undercut the control of course, for a reasonable person,
this is an indisputable point.
And even then bringing up that point, pointing to these cities is intended
explicitly to distract from the other indisputable point.
Which is that we have way too much gun violence as a matter of fact
here in the United States.
And in this clip, they're gonna show you here,
she points out the difference between the United States.
And basically every other country on the face of the earth.
>> Between 2009 and 2018, how many school shootings did the United States have?
>> 288.
>> 288, now, let's look globally, our G7 partners Canada, France,
Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom combined.
How many did those countries?
How many school shootings did those countries have?
>> Five times more.
>> In ten, almost ten years.
288 verses five,
this is not normal.
>> 100% again, and look,
all of what we've seen from right wing politicians and media.
Since, Vivaldi and before because of course, we have mass shootings.
We have school shootings just constantly, is just designed to distract from the fact
that we have the shootings and other countries don't.
And they will continually point to variables that we should shift,
that they don't like this, they have the same thing over there.
Like it cannot be video games when other places have video games,
grand theft auto can't have caused it.
When people play grand theft auto in every country across they face.
They have porn everywhere,
they have fatherlessness as well get to with Louie Gohmert.
They have all of these things in every state.
The one thing they don't have in every other state around the world.
Is a massive amount of easy to attain at the drop of a hat, assault rifles.
Jordan, what do you think?
>> That's it, it's we are an embarrassment in the rest of the world,
they look at us like, why are you letting this happen?
As I am sure you do have friends that live in other countries, and
when this topic comes up, they're just blown away.
Well, with so many issues about the United States, they just,
are we willing to let this happen.
Between healthcare, gun violence, even just like military recruiting in schools.
That's another thing that they just can't comprehend that we let military recruiters
into high schools.
Just across the board, we're just, we're an outlier.
And Republicans have done a really good job convincing people that
this uniqueness is what makes us great when really it's what makes.
[LAUGH] The America so awful.
A better world is possible, it's gonna take a lot of people to fight and
put in time and hard work.
And realize that there's gonna be a lot of losses along the way, but
it doesn't have to be like this.
And I'd like to think that eventually, common sense will prevail.
There's some really common sense measures that we could implement.
It would help mitigate the problem not completely eradicated, but
mitigate it that we could do right now.
But it's just it's frustrating to see the influence that money has in our system
that prevents that from happening.
>> 100%, yeah, there's totally things we could do and we don't have to,
this is not like, okay.
We have to invent a warp drive in the next year.
Everybody wrack your brains come up with something,
we could emulate all of these other countries.
People in chat are pointing out how little gun violence there is in Tokyo,
this massive city, tons of people, little violence.
If you were to believe someone like a Lauren Barbara, Marjorie Greene,
the fact that there's strict gun control in Tokyo is irrelevant.
Because you can just get a gun.
Gun control only limits what law abiding people do,
not the criminals, so it's a gun free zone.
So why aren't all the prospective criminals just conjuring up assault
rifles?
It's easy to do according to them, the gun control has no effect on it,
you just have a gun, because you want a gun.
Police in UK, maybe not in this day and age,
but up until recently didn't carry guns.
Why is it that they weren't just being mowed down by all of these London
criminals?
That can just snap their fingers and they've got a shotgun or whatever?
Why is it that those things that the right-wing would say is true never proved
to be true?
Why can't we learn from the rest of the world?
It makes no sense.
