As California is reeling after three mass shootings over the past three days, we go to Oakland to speak with Connie Wun, co-founder of the AAPI Women Lead organization and a researcher on race and gender violence, and look at the state of gun control with Nick Suplina, managing director for law and policy at Everytown for Gun Safety.

Keep black people out of this100%
Call this what it is, this is Asian on Asian hate crime and nothing else.
Do see how the police handled this Asian mass shooter, the police just laid him down on the ground like a fussing baby. No body slamming, no thugs in blue harsh treatment for him.
What color are Chinese people
And now she's making a man vs woman issue because she saying patriarchal. What about the matriarchal genocide of unborn children. These people are so hypocritical, on one hand they care about everybody in the world, but not children in their mother's womb.
This is America's fault, you allowed these Chinese people here and all they do is complain….lol my people have been in America for over four hundred years getting their backs beat in by the so-called white man. A handful of Asian people gets killed and now we're supposed to be in an uproar. These people have their own country their own military their own government and just go back home. That's what they've been telling my people the past hundred years so I don't feel sorry for them. They come to America to get rich off of Black and Hispanic Native American people, just like ALL the other nations. I suggest they pull themselves up by their bootstraps💯💯💯💯
At the end of the day it's Asian on Asian crime. Why should we care 😘. They don't give a damn when it's black on black or brown on Brown crime. What about all the black people Chinese people killed during the the Watts riots late 70s early 80s. What about all the black people Chinese people having slavery during those Ming dynasty, silk road slave trade, and building the Great Wall of China. FoH 🥢
Asian on Asian crime. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
When you ban guns, criminals always become the only ones with guns except for the police. Look at South Africa, Australia, New Zealand…
I have a great problem with feeling sympathy for the Americans. They love their guns. So they want to live like this. Very bad for some of them, but the way the political system is, with Senate 60 vote rule, you will never get a change. People will die in great numbers. The way you can stop this, is to make the gun manufacturers liable & sue the crap out of them. Good luck with that!
I'm glad that it is not black people doing this
I'd like to know why California rep Judy Chu and Hilda Solis were adamant about calling this shooting a "Hate Crime" when there was absolutely no proof or evidence to characterize the mass murder as a "hate Crime?" Before both ladies stepped up to the podium to speak a law enforcement official said that the shooter was an Asian male. I wonder if there was some sort of agenda, because the "Dog-whistling" was pretty damn loud!
Mrs. Wun FBA'S aren't attacking Asian.
Condolences to all families impacted by these massacres. Now can we stop with the narrative that black folks are attacking Asians??? How many Asians have been murdered by black folks in the last 50 years? No legislation will stop the American carnage in one of the most violent countries in the world. If a black person did this, folks would not be talking about guns, they would be saying 'see,see its the black people' – beware of the MK Ultra mass media mind control !! Again condolences to all impacted, so sad.
Hit by black magic – became mad
Maybe for "them" after taking fore-ever and money to go with the time to boot! But never for Black folks all together! Especially FBA!
Be careful what you ask for!
The violence against Asians have been “historical,” she says….. yeah trust me….We know.
It seems like non European-American race like orients blacks Latinos south Asian maybe native-American?
We still are not giving up our guns.
For real never mention Asians on Asians crime or white on white crimes only black on black must see the bigger picture ppb in America
Only thing bigger than Force those gun safety laws on our black people and Hispanics that's it they're not going to mess with those good old boys in the south they're going to enforce these Draconian laws on black people
Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
I believe it's been a easy tool to perform the act of target practice,and a tool misused in the act of targeting people in the practice of murder.
Fentanyl is the is the leading source of death of Youth and Young adults not guns
This is a bullsh*t outfit for politicians and mostly Democrats.
Guns do not kill people; crazy people kill people.
If you do not like the 2nd amendment, then you can move to China where guns are prohibited
The fact is that people kill their own people 🤔 the majority of the time White's and Asians got together and tried to say black people attack Asians.the majority of the people who attack Asians are white people
They have there town's but black town's like Tulsa and 234 other towns have never been replaced 🤔
I'm just here for the comments.
I now declare Jamaicans the new Model Minority. They have 5 jobs and are too chill to shoot anyone. Jah Mon,
Why did he do it? What was the motive?
Black people deal with this all the time. I feel your pain and grieve with my Asian and Hispanic brothers and sisters. 🙏🏾
Isn’t the largest Asian community in Washington?
HEGELIAN DIALECTIC.
Wasn't there just a hate crime law rushed through for Asians to start murdering Americans when the FBI had already determined that the most ostracized discriminated hated people in America were foundational black Americans. Foundational black Americans need a hate crime law reparations now for the greatest crime against humanity known to mankind American black chattel slavery and it's generational wealth spread Across America to white people that The Descendants foundational black Americans never received from that vile government sanctioned Institution reparations now cut the check. B1 😎
The biggest.reason mass shootings haven't gone down is because the Right-Wing Media keep on amping up the crazies in the Right-Wing, cocking them and pointing them at the Left, knowing they are going to fire of their own volition, because they are crazy. This whole "Make all Republicans hate all the Democrats is paying off for the Right-Wing-Media, in bloody-mass-shootings. They are hoping to thin out the Democratic voting pool by getting poor kids in schools to die in mass-shootings
You so-called Asians came here and joined white-supremacy and their confederates in exploiting extort oppresssed robbed murdered and rape the so-called negroes a.k.a blacks who are the real jews or Israelites, therefore you must participate in the minor judgments [ YAHAWAH ] is leveling on you all by turning you against each other violently and that's nothing compared to what [ YAHAWAH ] have planned for all you non negroe and indigenous people. Only the so-called negroes a.k.a blacks and indigenous people of direct slavery ancestry only, that venerates highly the holy names of [ YAHAWAH AND YAHAWASHI HAMASHAYACH ] and keep and do the 615pcs of commandments will leaved America 🇺🇸 and the western-world alive. That's not good news for all you oppressors. 😕
你们所谓的亚洲人来到这里，加入了白人至上和他们的同盟，利用勒索、被抢劫、被谋杀和强奸所谓的黑人，即真正的犹太人或以色列人的黑人，因此你们必须参与对你们所有人的轻微判断，使你们互相暴力对抗，这与你们非黑人和土着人民的计划相比算不了什么。 只有所谓的黑人，即只有直接奴隶血统的黑人和土着人，高度崇敬[YAHAWAH和YAHAWASHI HAMASHAYACH]的圣名，并遵守和执行615条诫命，才能使美国和西方世界活下来。 这对你们所有的压迫者来说都不是好消息。 😕
This is a sad time indeed. Asian on Asian crime is real. Your community needs to get to the bottom of this violence before it gets out of hand. Perhaps a task force can be put together to find out why the recent raise in Asian active shooters.
Did any shooter's die by police?
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS LIBERAL PROPOGANDA CRAP! WITHOUT THEM, YOU WILL SUFFER TYRANNY AND CHAOS! THE GOV'T AND THE CRIMINALS WILL STILL GET/MAKE THEM! BE WARNED; AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, YOU WILL REGRET SOLIDARITY IN THIS WORSE THAN SOME DO THE VACKXENE!
THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN BE COMPARED TO IT; STILL, THIS WOULD BE WORSE, BECAUSE THE WORLD WOULD BECOME VERY UNSAFE TO LEAVE YOUR HOME, UNSAFE WHILE YOU ARE SITTING AT HOME, UNSAFE TO BE SITTING IN YOUR CAR, UNSAFE WHILE YOU WALK ON YOUR PROPERTY, ETC. EVERYWHERE! WITHOUT EFFECTIVE WEPPUNS, THE GOV'T AND CRIMINALS CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO YOU; TO BE HONEST, THEY MIGHT EVEN BECOME IN CAHOOTS MORE OFTEN AND NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK ANY MORE…
wtf is latin 'x'?
