we should arm the good guys.
>> Whether it's in Denny's or in a classroom.
>> The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun.
>> Is a good guy with a good guy with a gun.
>> One good guy with a gun.
>> There's a good guy with a gun.
>> Sounds like a foolproof plan.
>> Yeah, cuz that's their plan when there's gun violence,
when there's mass shootings in particular.
The solution obviously is yet more guns.
That'll, that'll solve it.
When the guns start firing, when the bullets start flying,
all you need is a person of good moral character to stop the shooter.
In practice, does that work?
No in a lot of different ways?
That's not actually how it works.
And I want to dive into the results from a study,
the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at
Texas State University.
They looked at this, they broke down a ton of different events and
here's what they found, 249 attacks.
These active shooting incidents ended before the police arrived,
184 after they arrived.
And when it breaks down, generally, when it ends before the police arrive,
the person just leaves the scene.
It's very quick, okay, 72 out of 250, they committed suicide.
These are people who expect that they are going to die going into it.
Again bear that in mind.
When people talk about like legal remedies for.
Many of these people know that they're not living through this.
There were some where good Samaritans got involved and
stopped it 42 times someone subdued the attacker.
Just 22 times less than 1/10 of those where it was stopped before
the cops got there was with a gun.
Seven of those were a security guard, three and
off duty officer 12 were citizens.
Now you might say, well,
we could get that number up if more people were constantly carrying guns.
The issue is that, yes, that number might go up.
You know what number also might go up though.
The number of good Samaritans who get shot by cops.
Because when one person starts shooting and then another person shoots at them and
cops arrive on the scene, they don't have a lot of time to do.
Like a character analysis really.
Talk through what people's motivations are and that sometimes ends poorly last year,
cops arrived at a scene shot the good samaritan.
There was actually just a story in the last week of the exact
same thing happening.
So when we put more guns out there.
When we encourage more people to solve violence with yet
more violence, we are condemning some of them to be gunned down.
The good guys with the gun will be shot by cops.
That's what they're pushing for, [INAUDIBLE] what do you think about it?
>> Especially if there are people of color as we've seen historically in this
country.
People who have been killed trying to do the right thing without having a gun.
But this encouragement, this call to,
death wish Charles Bronson vigilantism that because that's what it is.
It's a called a vigilantism that is going to be costly for
the American people is also putting the onus on US.
Citizens for protection and when we are paying taxes for people to do that for us.
But in addition this fascination with guns.
And usually the people who you see that you saw that video,
I guarantee you none of those people who keep talking about these guns.
Are actually know how to use a gun properly.
They're just telling you that because they don't care about you.
And over and over again, f this Republican Democrat foolishness, the US Citizen.
The average person in America, those people don't care about any of y'all,
they only want your dollars so you can buy their merchandise, buy their books.
Go see them, speak and keep their kids going to the Ivy league schools and
living in the good neighborhoods and going to the good doctor's.
You keep getting caught up in this foolishness with these people who don't
give a damn about you.
And it is so sad to hear them say that trying to arm teachers, arm teachers
with updated books dictionaries, armed them with the supplies that they need.
I was at the dollar store buying supplies and the teacher was in there buying
the stuff that she needed for her classroom with her own money.
Because they wouldn't give it to her and she's a good teacher.
We are just in the upside down as they say in stranger things.
This is sad that they are continuously trying to get American citizens killed.
That is a call to action to get more US citizens killed, that's all it is.
And you said it right, it's gonna get a lot of people killed.
And then imagine a regular citizen shooting one of these young
people with mental illness and shooting in the in the head,
the traumatic experience for them all.
This ain't a wild wild west movie guys that they really need to wake up,
I've been around gun violence my whole life.
It is not all that, it's cut out to be.
And in a moment where you are confronted with someone who is ragefull and
ignorant or hurt and angry.
You don't know what you're gonna do even if you have a gun,
stop trying to get the American people killed.
