The point of this video is to give you a direct definition of an Assault Rifle and a Semi-Automatic Rifle. It's also stated once or twice in this video that of ALL of the murders EVER committed with assault rifles, only two were done with legally owned assault rifles.

The next point I would like to make is that there are two options below semi-automatic rifles. One is a pump shotgun, the other is a bolt action rifle. I would not like to use a bolt action rifle to protect myself, and I SURE as hell would not like to see a pump shotgun used in the next gun tragedy. As far as the clips go, YES, I can see the point that it may be unnecessary for hunting, but that's not what extended clips were created for. It isn't war either. It's target practice convenience. On a "day" at the range, it's easy to go through 1000+ rounds. On a standard clip, of 12, that is 83 reloads. If you have 30 bullet clips, you give yourself 33 reloads. Cuts a LOT of time, so you can get to your hobby. This is bigger for semi-automatic rifles.

The next media lie that I would like to dissect is that these guns "fire as fast as you can pull the trigger" or that they can even fire "as many as 45 rounds per minute". This may be true for trained professionals, but many enthusiasts, and especially the people committing these travesties cannot live up to these standards. You'll be lucky to get a whole clip out of them in 60 seconds, if the gun is properly cleaned and maintained, and if they are strong enough to maintain accuracy. But I've seen bolt action shooters go through 30 bullets in a minute. The average police response time for something of this variety is 6 minutes. That's far more than 26 deaths for a trained individual. Again, they are not the ones committing these travesties.

What's the solution? It starts with culture. Not video games or movies. Problem solving, compassion, and empathy. Then it's about healthcare. It's about instilling consequence, and passion into every child. It's about teaching fellow man how to overcome obstacles instead of merely avoiding them. It's about learning that there is no one correct answer for any question and a good intention is the best.

You want to prevent the next tragedy? Go after the media. They'll spend weeks building a shrine of shit around this person glorifying and immortalizing them. You want to fix the problem. Don't give them the time of day. Don't let the next person see what the satisfaction is like. I guarantee most of you know more about the killer than any single victim. I guarantee that most of you know the names of more of these psychopaths than the names of their victims.

Guns aren't the enemy, people aren't the enemy. There is NO enemy but the media. Take down those two avenues and you'll have a rich riverbed of soil to cultivate the next generation for good.

Great post and I would like to add that gun safety and overall morality towards human life and how you treat others should start at HOME. Too many parents these days are depending on the school system and society itself to teach these values to their child and look where it has gotten them. Furthermore I would like to point out the hate that the media creates, have you guys even seen the picture of Treyvon Martin that CNN shows everyone, they make the guy look like hes fucking 11 years old when he was for the most part a full grown adult. The media feeds off situations like the school shootings and does everything in its power to fuel racism, which is fucking ridiculous.

Agreed 100% Why I only watch my Daily Show which at least is semi-less of those things.

I watch every episode of the Daily show, but only watching that is one of the stupidest things to do. There is so many important things he skips because there is only 10 min of news on that shows, 10 min of comedy sketches and 5 min of interview unless you watch online.
