  1. Belle per gli abusi che continuo a subire da tribunali e commissioni per farsi vedere le stesse che organizzarono tutto con avvocato giudici e la soluzione migliore scuola Pam ambasciatore Renzi Firenze

  3. Banning a particular firearm is 100% ineffective. You can't target the item. You have to target the population. The Air Force doesn't just let anyone fly a plane just because they pass the technical exams. They have to be shown to be psychologically fit. I know that's the military, not civilian life, but the military wouldn't do it if it wasn't necessary. And if you choose the legal option over the necessary option, you're only shaming your children by continuing to follow that particular law. Common sense should always take priority over precedent. And common sense tells me that people not only need to be qualified to own guns, but qualified in general if guns are so easy to get in the US, as every anti-gun control advocate loves to assert. If you aren't going to confiscate the guns, then I expect you to cultivate better people, by force if necessary.

  4. How many kids have had to deal with gun violence in schools since Columbine? Every person 40 years old and younger in this country. All of us have had to wonder if we were next after every single one of these mass shootings.

  5. In Australia we had a massacre in 1996 where 35 people where killed and a further 23 injured. Guess what we passed gun regulations. Guess how many further gun related massacres have happened since. Let me tell you. None. Stop being dim. Regulate guns, stop with your ridiculous excuses and step up. Put aside your individual desires and start thinking about how a society may or may not work

  6. Melony is right it is a local problem. An American Local problem. A Problem as a result of your non-sensical profit driven gun laws. It doesn't happen anywhere else in the Western World America. Look at what is different. Its not how we respond to crime, or drug use, or gangs… we have all that.. but what we don't have is hundreds and thousands of gun related deaths a year… the only difference is that there are regulations on who can purchase and, on what kind of gun people might be able to buy.

  7. If marketing is the issue, then the government should ban ALL types of marketing/ads on ALL products. Other countries are just rubbing their hands waiting for this country to collapse. It IS coming.

  8. Put the liability back on the manufacturers and things will change real quick! Either that or just ban the freaking things! I'm an American and this gun sh!t is our biggest embarrassment before the world and the biggest fear of every parent sending their child to school. How sick is that? More kids are killed by gun violence in schools than any other freaking way! Do you get it? All you gun lovers are the problem! Let's get some realistic regulations and laws in this country! Stop the carnage!

  9. They DIDN'T testify. They arrived with a script and did not deviate from that script. NOTICE how many times they avoided answering questions by simply suggesting alternative theories?
    Total lick of integrity and a waste of time. 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

  10. They arrived with their scripts and didn't vary from them. Did anyone notice how they never answered a question, but gave alternative reasons for the problem? 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

  11. It is a straight-up lie to pretend that today's guns are anything like the weapons that existed at the time of framing of the Constitution. The framers were only talking about the guns that existed in that day. Single shot weapons maybe double shot, that should be the max for legal firearms in the US. That would eliminate mass shootings. We need to get rid of guns that shoot more than one or two bullets at a time or in rapid succession. That's what the framers knew of guns. Stop pretending that the second amendment was written for your psycho asses to have as many guns and as much ammo as you want! You're wrong! Things will be changing!

  13. Just curious – How many of these democrats even knew who Daniel Defense was prior to the recent shooting? If they cared about these so called dangerous companies making dangerous firearms surely they would have known about DD prior to Uvalde….?

  14. With all due respect chairwoman, When will the Democrats take responsibility and congress take action on our border and stop letting tens of thousands of tons of drugs flooding onto our streets that have killed millions of Americans.

  15. Just the opening statement show how out of touch, uninformed and outright uneducated viewpoints continue to propagate. So sad the chairwoman chooses to be partisan and spout outright untruths about firearms. I.e. “AR15s are ultra deadly weapons”.

    No. They’re very small caliber and nowhere near as powerful or deadly as most rifles out there.

  16. We dont need a ban she knows nothing the ban in 94 did nothing the riots BLM people had to use the AR15 or AK because they were outnumbered so shes talking with a fork tongue !

  17. Ms. Tlaib can’t even talk. She can’t pronounce the companies names and can’t even pronounce the freaking word modularity. She’s makes fallacious, emotional arguments and she’s a shill. Devoid of brain cells. What about all of the Hollywood movies, video games, liberal actors making observe profit off of these productions, and the fact that you want to DEFUND police while taking away or limiting the citizens ability to protect themselves. Screw them. I will fight if these uneducated dim-witted politicians say I can’t own an AR 15. Do democrats want a Civil War? Keep pushing millions of Americans into a corner. See where that gets you.

  18. Maybe these gun manufacturers will wake up and start moving their businesses to gun friendly States.
    Specifically states with second amendment protection laws like Missouri.
    Missouri cannot and will not enforce unconstitutional federal laws.

    If gun manufacturers move to these states it will likely cause more States to enact second amendment protection laws.

  19. POS tyrants want to disarm the American ppl all while they work to let criminals out of jail and erase our borders. Maloney and the other anto American traitors in congress need to find a real job

  20. Have any of these people ever seen what a 12 GA slug will do to the human body? These politicians sitting around babbling about what their experts say is BS. Fact; They want the guns take away so the public will submit to their demands.

  21. Blah blah blah! What I want to know, do these manufacturers intentionally flood neighborhoods who are known to have gun violence issues. And I'm not talking about selling guns directly, but through other channels which would get illegal guns in the hands of neighborhoods that are extremely prone to use them, not for protection, but for criminal activities. If so, then they should be held accountable similar big pharma. If not, then no issue here. The pro gun lobby and people just always muddy the water so no one can figure what's going on.
