This video presents a historical analysis of American gun control, arguing that mass shootings were rare before 1968 despite widespread gun ownership, and that modern gun control debates often overlook root causes like domestic violence and white supremacy radicalization, which account for approximately two-thirds of mass shootings.

AOC Pushes GUN CONTROL Then Veteran Ask ONE BRUTAL QUESTION!Added:
Anything but a gun, but that these are about violent people.
And yet we aren't doing anything about addressing the actual root causes of misogyny.
>> In the 70s I attended a high school, large rural school, virtually every vehicle in the parking lot was a pickup truck and almost everyone had a rifle or shotgun on the back glass and a pistol in under the seat.
>> Oh, AOC is is such a pretty politician.
>> [laughter] [gasps] >> Except except for when she's talking.
Um I hate to really sound misogynistic like like she was saying, but it's it's the pretty politician's words that she uses that makes it less than likely she'll be president 2028. Um my name is Marcus Russell, you're watching the Marcus Russell show. I come from a family of strong independent women. The women in my family were mainly the breadwinners and in most cases and the leaders of my family. [laughter] And sometimes they know sometimes there's nothing wrong with just sitting there and looking pretty.
>> [laughter] >> And looking pretty. AOC tries to pit this off like it's your in this hearing like it's a normal gun control debate, but then this veteran basically makes her finally put a shut to her annoying voice. Make sure you tap that like and subscribe button. Let's get right to the video.
>> There's 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 trafficked 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 and the lawlessness unleashed by those states. I move on.
For context >> Lawlessness.
>> The NRA spent about 250 million dollars in 2020 alone. That's more than twice the entire salary of Congress combined here lobbying against gun safety laws.
There's also this discussion about anything but a gun, but that these are about violent people. They are.
>> But yet we aren't doing anything about addressing the actual root causes of misogyny where 2/3 of mass shootings are connected to domestic violence or the emergence of white supremacy radicalization, mass incarceration and poverty and the connections between that and mass shootings in our communities. I yield my time. Thank you, Madam Chair.
>> I'm going to bring this back in time to World War II.
America's population 140 million.
15 million American men came home from World War II with deep scars and significant skills.
They bore the invisible wounds of war and there was weapons everywhere.
I'm going to talk about mental challenge.
>> [laughter] >> My father was one of those men, was a Navy pilot in World War II. He came back from the war and built his family. I'm the seventh of his eight children. I was born in 1961.
We had guns everywhere. [laughter] There was virtually no regulation. Any child in the 50s could buy a weapon from any seller if daddy sent him with the money.
We didn't have mass shootings.
It wasn't until 1968 in America that serial numbers were even required on weapons sold in this country.
You ordered weapons through the Sears catalog by the mail.
>> [laughter] >> 19 in the 70s I attended a high school, large rural school, virtually every vehicle in the parking lot was a pickup truck and almost everyone had a rifle or shotgun on the back glass and a pistol in under the seat.
>> [laughter] >> And we didn't have school shootings.
>> [clears throat] >> 1979 I began college.
One of the jobs I had to work my way through college was as a carpenter.
We restored historical buildings.
We had to determine in the process of that work what was the original cuts of these these homes, residential homes built 75, 85, 100 years ago.
You could tell by the saw cut if it was a mechanical cut, an electric cut or hand cut.
By such observations we knew exactly how that house was originally built.
And to my amazement as a young man beginning college in Louisiana working to my amazement, you know what I just discovered, Madam Chair? You know what these houses did not have that were built 100 years ago in cities in America? You know what they did not have, Commissioner?
Locks.
Locks.
Now I ask you all what happened to that country, man?
It's not this. Um my feelings on gun laws uh like I said, there were no gun laws in America before 1967 California passed the Mumford law, the Milford Act, that's what they called it as a direct response to 20 or 30 armed Negroes going into the Supreme Court building downtown Sacramento, California. They were Black Panthers.
They seen 20 armed Black Panthers in there, they was like, yeah.
We got to put a stop to this.
>> [laughter] >> Um they were basically protesting police brutality by showing that they had to the right to practice the right to bear arms. So Ronald Reagan himself passed into legislation the Milford Act in 1968.
Uh he was the governor of California at that time.
>> [laughter] >> And that's how it got into legislation.
But but everybody is not Black Panther militia people.
I personally think we should not have a ban on on the right to bear arms even for non-violent felons like myself. You know what I mean? I think that the bullets should just cost like $100 a piece. You know what I mean? You're not going to waste $100 on a situation because honestly being a victim of a violent gun shooting myself, people need guns.
You need guns. You know what I mean? And also you need somebody like me to have the gun and not some pipsqueak who's not even going to save everybody's life when it comes down to it.
>> [laughter and gasps] >> For real, man. Let me know what you think in the comments. Make sure you tap that like and subscribe button. Until next time. Peace.
