  You know, I guess I gotta say I'm still in mourning over my cowboys.
• 1:24
  I didn't have high expectations, but still would've liked to have seen a win.
• 1:29
  But anyway, so the question of the day is, do we need more gun control?
• 1:35
  And why?
• 1:37
  Well, look, I mean, we've had some several mass shootings here just as it got started two in California recently seven dead and one 10 and another.
• 1:45
  So what's going on?
• 1:47
  And in fact if you look at since Covid V in 2022, the.
• 1:52
  Gifford law center to prevent gun control gives every state a rating on their gun control.
• 1:59
  So here in my state of Texas, we get an F.
• 2:01
  California gets an A.
• 2:04
  So if you look at the largest most fatalities in shooting since since Covid, Most of them are coming from states that have some of the most strict gun control laws.
• 2:18
  So California 10 fatalities.
• 2:20
  That's the one recent one in Monterey Park.
• 2:22
  They have an a.
• 2:23
  Colorado had 10 they have a B.
• 2:25
  New York has an A minus.
• 2:27
  They had 10.
• 2:28
  California had another shooting.
• 2:30
  Again, a they had.
• 2:31
  Illinois and a minus.
• 2:33
  They had seven.
• 2:34
  California, another one A, they had seven.
• 2:37
  So you can see the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 1, 2.
• 2:42
  3, 4, 5, 6 of the 11 have A or B scores in their ratings.
• 2:49
  So what's going on?
• 2:50
  Well, there's an article that I found and I enjoyed it quite a lot, and the title of it is, experts always love experts.
• 3:01
  Experts explain why California is still rife with gun violence despite some of the most stringent gun laws in the country.
• 3:08
  So I'm just gonna quote a little bit from this article.
• 3:10
  It says, California has some of the most stringent gun laws in the country, but that hasn't stopped a wave of mass shootings from plaguing the state.
• 3:17
  In the first few weeks of 2023, it starts on Monday.
• 3:20
  There was seven people killed in half Boone May.
• 3:23
  And then a shooting occurred on, on Saturday, a dance studio in Monterey where.
• 3:27
  10 people or 11 people were lost.
• 3:30
  And according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna, the status quo even with increasingly severe gun regulations is not working.
• 3:40
  California California is known for Strickland laws.
• 3:44
  In fact, California's led this way for gun strict gun gun regulat.
• 3:48
  Is number according to the every town for gun safety ranks.
• 3:51
  California is number one, the country for gun loss strength.
• 3:54
  So for example, in 89 they passed the Roberti Ro Rus Assault Weapons Control Act that essentially bans assault weapons in 2016.
• 4:03
  They Passed a proposition require the background check for purchasing ammunition and prohibits the possession of large capacity magazines.
• 4:11
  The state employs the licensing system for gun and ammunition purchases, and there's a 10 day waiting period that's applied when you're obtaining firearms, but, Nothing's working.
• 4:22
  It still isn't working.
• 4:24
  It says, the article says, while the recent wave of mass shooting in California may appear, may appear that the severe gun laws aren't working, people are not seeing all the times.
• 4:34
  They do prevent violence.
• 4:36
  So they're saying, yeah, there's still a lot, but a lot of times we didn't.
• 4:41
  And so they are, but.
• 4:43
  There is no evidence that says they're just assuming that they're stopping violence.
• 4:48
  There's no evidence where it says, just because we ban the purchase of this or that somebody has to register this, that that has prevented somebody else from doing something.
• 4:58
  But here's where, here's where things get says.
• 5:01
  Unfortunately, firearms in this country are so pervasive that it's going to take a lot to stop it.
• 5:06
  The past work of legislation is undo undoubted.
• 5:09
  Reducing deaths, but there are just too many guns in the US to completely prevent gun violence in any state.
• 5:16
  The expert said gun violence is continuing affect large number of Californians, but at much lower rates than other states.
• 5:22
  It says California gun laws while wide reaching, don't target everyone.
• 5:28
  everyone hear what they want.
• 5:29
  Who they law abiding citizens is who they wanna talk, talk.
• 5:33
  The background checks are not going to catch everyone.
• 5:35
  Especially those that don't have a criminal history.
• 5:37
  Yeah, you're not a criminal, not gonna get caught.
• 5:40
  In addition, at risk, purchasers could be answering questions on the background.
• 5:43
  Check, check, un truthfully.
• 5:46
  Hmm.
• 5:47
  So criminals.
• 5:49
  aren't reluctant to break laws even to obtain their firearms, they said so thing, it just makes common sense.
• 5:57
  People are willing to shoot, will lie on their background checks.
• 6:00
  Hmm.
• 6:01
  Interesting.
• 6:01
  So criminals aren't afraid to break laws, so these laws are only really impacting law abiding citizens.
• 6:12
  where have we talked about that before?
• 6:13
  It says, despite, despite the rigid requirements, the average citizens is still able to buy a gun.
• 6:20
  Hmm.
• 6:21
  There we get to the rub.
• 6:24
  They don't come out and directly say that.
• 6:26
  You say the federal government needs to step up it's gun regulations.
• 6:29
  But what the underlying, when you read between the lines of this article, they're saying two things.
• 6:35
  You shouldn't be able to purchase any more.
• 6:38
  And we've gotta get rid of all the guns that are out there because there's too many.
• 6:43
  And as long as those exist, we're still gonna have gun violence.
• 6:47
  And so while this article says that the gun laws aren't working, They're not saying, let's try something different.
• 6:56
  Let's try maybe arming our citizens.
• 6:58
  Let's go to the heart of the problem of, of the people.
• 7:01
  Let's look at the single single mother families and the kids that are coming out of those families and committing these crimes.
• 7:09
  No, they're just saying basically, we gotta get stricter gun laws.
• 7:13
  We gotta have even more strict gun laws and there's just too many guns.
• 7:17
  So we're gonna probably just, we need to get those guns off the street.
• 7:22
  that is the signal, not the noise.
• 7:24
  Listen to it.
• 7:25
  They, no matter what the, even though you can argue left and right, that California look as a, as a, as an example of California's not working.
• 7:34
  Why do we keep doing these gun laws?
• 7:36
  But that doesn't sink into them.
• 7:38
  They just think you still need stronger gun laws.
• 7:41
  And ultimately we need to get rid of all the guns out.
• 7:46
  Confiscation, how are they gonna confiscate gun registry?
• 7:50
  How are they gonna start doing that tracking?
• 7:53
  So as you see all these things that the a t F has, has been doing lately, just know that that's where it's all trying to go, is to get us a, a list of all gun owners and all location of all guns so they can eventually come knocking our door.
• 8:07
  I know it sounds crazy.
• 8:08
  It sounds like conspiracy therapy there, conspiracy theory.
• 8:12
  Our government would never do that.
• 8:14
  That is what they want to do.
• 8:15
  Trust me.
• 8:16
  Trust me on.
• 8:17
  Thank you.
• 8:18
  Just want to keep giving everybody a little information about how we've gotta keep protecting our second Amendment and we gotta keep fight, fight, fight out there for our rights.
• 8:28
  Have a great day and I will talk to you.
