NRA Conference (Day 1 Interview Supercut)
Added 2022-06-01 22:51:13 +0000 UTCHey guys -
Here's our first round of coverage from the recent National Rifle Association meeting and exhibition which occurred between May 27-29 at George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX, just days after the tragic mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde which took the lives of 19 students and 2 teachers.
In this episode, we spend most of our time on the protest side, speaking with gun reform advocates who want increased background checks, new 'red flag laws,' and to restrict the sale of AR-15s and other assault rifles to civilians.
We also speak to NRA members on the other side of the fence, many of whom blame the recent mass shootings on the downfall of the 'American family,' violent video games, unarmed teachers, and so on.
More to come ..
Best,
Andrew Nic and Evan

2023-11-13 15:36:25 +0000 UTCAll these people talking about how they need guns to protect themselves from the government⊠the American military is the most advanced fighting force in human history. One of the guys even brought up drones. If a group seriously tried armed resistance theyâd get drone-bombed from the stratosphere. Militaristic resistance against the United States is just laughable

2022-07-01 04:51:18 +0000 UTCThe ethical and logical people saying "I'm always armed at protests but no people shouldn't x gun", spouting that Marx said we should arm the proletariat but doing so with ARs is too far? It is all or nothing you can't be Antifa/ACAB/Anarchistic and want structured law enforcement.

2022-06-20 02:30:42 +0000 UTCControlling recoil and firing fast, is much easier with an AR. The round also has a lot more penetrative power as well; meaning it can pass through bone/tissue, and still be lethal. The Vegas shooting was the most deadly mass shooting in American history, and it would not have been possible with a bunch of pistols/shotguns. The main issue causing these events is our laxed gun laws. Mental illness exists all around the world, yet we are the only developed country with so many mass shootings. Making it more difficult to buy a assault rifle, is common sense gun regulation. ARs should not be so easy for a mentally ill 18 year old to purchase. We are well aware that there are hundreds of thousands of ARs floating around America right now. That doesn't mean we should do nothing though. Making it more difficult for mentally ill kids to buy these sorts of weapons, is something that should have been done years ago. We are not simply anti-gun, we are anti-mass shootings. Your pro-gun "agenda", in the face of all of the recent mass shootings, says a lot about how much people like you value human life.

MrSavvy
2022-06-19 14:50:07 +0000 UTCA 5.56 and .45 will both kill people. These shooting are taking place in <25yd areas, bullet travel isn't a factor. Sure, kinetic energy comes into play and makes a difference. But I'm not saying AR's aren't slightly more deadly than pistols. Also, good luck trying to ban AR's. There's too many in circulation already. I only have long rifles and shotguns but everybody and their mom has an AR nowadays. You're missing my point entirely and focusing only on one part of my comment. All of you are. Keep pushing your anti-gun agenda all you want and ignore one of the main issues causing these events.
MrSavvy
2022-06-19 14:46:27 +0000 UTCYou can use a semi-automatic hunting rifle to shoot wild boar. Killing wild boar more efficient, shouldn't trump human life.... It is sad that this needs to be said.
Dijon John
2022-06-19 06:59:16 +0000 UTCThis isn't true at all. There is a reason why people choose these weapons for mass shootings. Assault rifles often large magazines and are chambered in calibers that are very effective at killing humans. My hunting rifle would be a lot less effective in a mass shooting event. My shotgun would be a lot less effective in a mass shooting event. My pistols would a lot less effective in a mass shooting event. Owning a Assault Rifle should be limited to those with a class 3 weapons license. They do not need to be in the hands of everyday Americans.
Dijon John
2022-06-19 06:54:07 +0000 UTCThis is a false equivalency argument. A pistol round has a lot less energy than a rifle round. A shotgun shell is much more bulky, and slugs/pellets don't carry nearly as far. People choose assault rifles to commit these murders for a reason. It's funny how people argue that they need these weapons to fight a tyrannical government. Then turn around and downplay just how deadly these weapons are.

2022-06-08 23:12:57 +0000 UTCIs that the guy that said he caught EDP? Cause I had watched a few of his predator catcher videos in the past and I remember him just being insanely homophobic.. which like, yeah, these peopel should be berated for what they're doing but you're berating them for the completely wrong thing? I think there's a few good channels on YT that do the same thing and help kids with what they're doing but his had so many red flags and made him seem like a huge freak
Hunter Nance
2022-06-07 17:34:15 +0000 UTCGiving more rights to people based on land ownership is very short sighted, and a quick way to strengthen class divide. Kind of also directly plays into the whole 2nd ammndmnt "justification" too
shampooflasks
2022-06-07 04:44:24 +0000 UTCThere are crazy people all over the world, not just the US. School shootings only seem to happen in the US tho. Gee I wonder why? I wonder what the common denominator is here⊠hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Joe Hockley
2022-06-07 00:07:38 +0000 UTCYou provided a great example of why maybe someone would require a rifle or a have work/hobby related experience, that requires an automatic weapon. I imagine people whose actual jobs require them weapon use, know the proper way of shooting a gun or how to have it stored and secured. I don't disagree with that logic at all. In fact, when we look at countries who don't have issues with mass shootings, they seem to do one of 2 things with gun regulation/education. Either their citizens are required to serve and thus going through gun training. Meaning they receive guided education and have extensive screening after discharge. Making most of their population educated on gun safety. And still have strict ownership laws. OR they have multiple background checks and testing, where people requesting gun ownership, have to prove they know proper ways of handling/storing a gun or prove that they are a hobbyist or job required reason, and provide proof of owning the proper storage equipment. www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/how-do-u-s-gun-laws-compare-to-other-countries I think that second process/regulation is reasonable.
Nancy
2022-06-06 22:20:04 +0000 UTCYeah absolutely. Apologies, I misspoke -- guns were only banned during Trump's speech at the NRA convention. But the same logic applies -- if guns aren't the problem, why would you need to ban them to protect someone? https://www.npr.org/2022/05/25/1101181842/nra-trump-speech-guns-banned-houston
Alex N
2022-06-05 14:20:34 +0000 UTCA friend of mine recently suggested that peoples' land should be taken into consideration. For example, if you have x amount of acres of land and can justify the need to have said weapons, then you apply for/are granted a special permit to own them. Contrarily, Joe Blow living in apartment 2A with zero land should not be able to own multiple military grade firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, etc. Sure, some people may have legitimate needs for this. But it's unfair and unwise to grant them all the same privileges. Now Joe Blow in apartment 2A has Coloradian ranchers defending his "right" to own these weapons.
Alex N
2022-06-05 14:18:09 +0000 UTCYou're absolutely correct, That is a beautiful aspect of Andrew's reporting, although incredibly frustrating at times. I know that if he took it one step further to press them with questions like these, they would crumble and not have an answer. But to your point, Andrew does a great job at remaining nonpartisan which I really appreciate because it brings an unfiltered view into the minds of people I vehemently disagree with.
Alex N
2022-06-05 14:14:32 +0000 UTCjust answering the second question based off what i know from many of the farmers and ranchers in my area in North Texas, Feral Hogs which come in packs, multiply by a lot and quickly are horrid in Texas so most people who hog hunt to keep their land safe from them ruining fields and crops use the AR-15 to kill them, granted thats Law Abiding Citizens using the Rifle for a reason, But there is a problem when that same tool is in the hands of a evil soul who wants to do harm intent and I agree that there is a problem there because the hogs can be substituted with human bodies, I really enjoy your 3rd question in why the Red Flags are not being raised when someone makes all these major purchases in the same week because that should defiantly raise flags and make the system red flag it for Hold so there is a problem within the system there, also i should add i am pro guns but i also know when theres a problem it needs to be addressed along with many things in this country that do not get addressed and im afraid we live with a government no matter what party it is that will never look at helping the people of this country, This is a talking point to them for a short time until the next talking point topic comes about then they will shift and so on they care about one thing and thats a VOTE FOR THEM, but addressing problems needs to start at the local government and work its way to state then federal for any changes to be made in reality and thats a sad thing when its something that needs addressed quickly in america. I wish we lived in a better world then we do with less evil intent people out there thats for sure.

Lindsay Jacob Brown
2022-06-05 04:21:41 +0000 UTCi absolutelz get from where you are coming from and i agree with you, but thats not the questions andrew should ask, he is one of the only reporters i know which actually asks non confrontational questions, and thats what journalism should be all about. Because i wanna hear their honest take so that i can disagree with it. There is no use in a reactionary response made out of emotion, but rather there is a rational response to a honest question, like when he asked the 66 year old, how should we go back to traditioanal family values, so you actually get an insight to the person
luis katterbach
2022-06-04 19:28:24 +0000 UTCThese pro-gun / 2A / NRA stans are moronic. I wish Andrew would ask them this: If your Second Amendment protects the right to own and carry a high-capacity, high caliber military grade rifle such as an AR-15, then why doesn't it protect your right to carry a fully automatic rifle such as an AK-47 or 63? Or more destructive weapons like a machine gun or RPG? Hmm, it's almost as if there's limitations to the Second Amendment.. Second question: why does ANYBODY need a high caliber rifle with 30-100 rounds? Why? If not to kill mass numbers of people, then why do you need it? Magazines on all firearms should be limited to 6 rounds, IMO. Third question: why should any Joe Blow be able to buy multiple military-grade firearms, body armour, and thousands of rounds of ammo in the same week? If not to kill mass numbers of people, then why do you need it? Fourth question: If guns aren't the problem, why did the NRA ban them from their convention after Uvalde?

Dathan Atkinson
2022-06-04 09:27:08 +0000 UTCBanning magazines over certain number is better, assault weapons are just as deadly as many handguns. The reality is that there is a self defense culture that isn't going anywhere any time soon
mickeymouse420
2022-06-04 07:23:42 +0000 UTCWhat ar15 throws four hundred rounds per minute? Or did you mean an actual assault rifle that is fully automatic, and already highly regulated?
H Dawg
2022-06-04 07:19:50 +0000 UTCAn AR isn't necessarily more deadly than any other standard firearm. I mean, I really do fail to see that point there. Definitely need less guns in circulation and much higher age minimum. That dude was right about videogames and desensitization

Brett Venable
2022-06-04 03:56:56 +0000 UTCAs an Australian I really donât understand why your whole country canât be a gun free zone. We had a mass shooting in Australia 1996 we cracked down extremely heavily on gun laws now we havenât had a mass shooting since. Personally I canât even comprehend the possibility that when I went to school I could have gotten shot, even though there are troubled kids who if they had access to a gun there would have been a possibility they used it.
Mole Herron
2022-06-03 23:55:54 +0000 UTCI believe the violent incidents are more caused by the state of healthcare in America today. Guns are tools. If it weren't AR's it'd be pistols and shotguns like before the AR ages. Focus on the root of the problem and fixing it. The individual.

2022-06-03 20:15:10 +0000 UTCThe cognitive dissonance of these pro-gun guys is crazy. There should be a counter of how many times they say "It doesn't matter." It just shows they don't care about the facts and they just want their boom-boom toys.

2022-06-03 09:39:24 +0000 UTC@Jack Brehmer: Thank you for your reply. As a complete outsider from America I'm amazed how America works. I fully understand the whole point of arming yourself if there are paramilitary militia in your state. I will do the same if this was happening in the Netherlands.

Terence O'Kane
2022-06-03 06:18:44 +0000 UTCI think youâre right to be skeptical of anyone saying that no ARs means no major shootings, but I think there is a debate to be had on ARs. I like the car/license comparison people make. Cars and pistols are deadly, but have healthy use cases. But what do you compare an AR to? You canât drive a spiked up monster truck built to flatten and kill 20 people at a time, so do we need better limits for rifles?

2022-06-03 03:30:46 +0000 UTCI was thrown off when the guy said the thing about Rosa Parks being pro-life and so I fact checked it and found 2 articles (one from NBCNews lmao) talking about how she literally served on Planned Parenthood's board in the 80's. I want to know how he got the impression that she was pro-life lmao

Dan
2022-06-03 03:14:13 +0000 UTCIt makes more sense when youâre talking about having arms for a militia that protects democracy when there is a tyrannical ruler with power over the military. But youâre right, 1 man is not going to survive long in any circumstance. In fact, youâre best odds for survival and justice via other sympathetic citizens would probably be if you were unarmed and then assaulted.

2022-06-02 20:49:35 +0000 UTCYou very obviously donât understand whatâs going on in America right now. Thereâs Christi-fascist paramilitary groups in my state that are armed as much as the police. The police also have an incredibly large overlap amongst their ranks. Owning a gun in America (for people who arenât fudds and chuds ie. threepers) isnât about some fantasy of overthrowing the government, but protecting you family, neighbors, or community in the even in which the state no longer offers the protection or stability that it once granted or at least provided the illusion of.

Michael T
2022-06-02 15:52:47 +0000 UTCPeople want to own a gun because it makes them feel good and safe, not because it actually makes them safer. You are up to five times more likely to be shot by a gun if you own one. It comes down to feeling safe vs being safe. People (in general) make decisions based on their feelings, not data that actually might save their and their community's lives. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2759797/

They've been using this line to push religious nonsense to the forefront of every single fuckin issue. Many republican voters seem to have no idea how anything actually works on a macro scale. They seriously think that the answer is that everyone should just go to church and do everything they do and it will all get resolved through Jesus. "When I was a kid..." it's the only fucking thing you hear these people say. When you were a kid there was lead in everything and Jim Crow laws were still super prevalent. So sick of these dumb fucks and the stupid nostalgia lenses they view everything through.

2022-06-02 09:47:31 +0000 UTCAs someone living in the Netherlands I am always wondering WHY people need an assault rifle? The most common answer is to defend yourself if the government can no longer be trusted. But how does this work out? You shoot your AR at the police/army (who may be wearing bulletproof vests)? And then what? You die in a hail of bullets coming from their side?

2022-06-02 09:35:17 +0000 UTCI agree that gun reform and not an outright ban is the way to go. I should have worded my comment better. I just feel like I see so many people saying AR-15s or âassault weaponsâ need to be banned. They act like once theyâre banned school shootings will stop when thatâs clearly not the case.

2022-06-02 08:28:10 +0000 UTCStarted buying a couple guns for home defense a few months ago. Iâve ended up with 3 so far. Two for home defense and 1 for carrying. I live in a pretty safe part of the US, but honestly with everything thatâs been happening I was like âwell I guess I should be strapped tooâ. Plus i work in a cash only business so having the strap from work to the car just gives a weird false sense of protection that I canât totally wrap my head around yet. It does help ease the mind a bit, weirdly enough. You literally have a killing tool pointed at your giblets or thigh, depending on your carry. Feels fuckin weird and powerful all in the same breath. God forbid I ever have to use the fucker, but still. I will say though, background checks are fucking bs. I was under the impression that when I purchased a handgun it would take like 5 days or so for them to get my check done. Homie straight up says ânah bro itâll take like 15 mins, it doesnât go too deep.â From my understanding it pretty much just clarifies that your 1. âA Gottdamn Amreecanâ 2. You arenât wanted and/or a felon and 3. You arenât a habitual drug user or alcoholic (due to arrest, so a felon) With 3 they pretty much just take your word on. It was literally quicker for my AR lol These fooâs being like âWell we already went through our background checkâ I donât think realize or give a shit that your job or landlord does a more in depth check on your ass than the gun store or what have yoh. At that point I was like, yeah judging by how fuckin easy it is to snag a piece, I should probably get some more cause some other crazy fucks probably have the jump on me in quantity and use lol. Here I am now enjoying watching this. Nice.

Thibault Tresca
2022-06-02 03:28:31 +0000 UTCBanning AR-15s wonât do anything. The majority of gun violence in the US is committed with handguns and I donât see anyone advocating for them to be banned. One of the deadliest mass shootings in the country was committed with 2 handguns (Virginia Tech). The only solution would be to ban all guns but that just isnât realistic in America.

2022-06-02 03:19:36 +0000 UTCChannel 5 I know y'all are gonna be tuning this shit to be tight tight tight just some thoughts Good use of media cuts - would be funny to have a tally of interviewees saying yes or no to banning guns/assault rifles Good luck on getting interviews from nra officials or other political figures Interview 1: great bite sized content from man and woman showing more tact Interview 2: leading questions but important points about lobbying representatives Interview 3: sick. Keep this clean. Wished the security guard didnt step on it Interview 4: this guy seems pretty sensible regarding what he believes love the cuts and love that lady who said "redrick" Interview 5: old man was nice respite from the loud red shirt man Interview 6: cut out the crosswalk part and stick with the dude who stuck around (really good knife guy haha but unnecessary) Interview 7: my pillow man is gold hope to see him again Interview 8: space alien lol. Good view from this guy Interview 9: great points Interview 10: great perspective showing all walks are generally on the same page and know the good stuff. Im sure you will cut in bytes from Abbot (texas governor) Love the content stay safe

2022-06-02 02:13:56 +0000 UTCYeah I keep picturing my colleagues strapped and can only imagine the chaos that would ensue - we're always leaving our keys and phones in the bathroom or in the classroom when we need to go to the bathroom. Add again to that mix? Shiiiiiiiiiiit....
Alan Kahn
2022-06-02 02:13:30 +0000 UTCI agree with you, its sad. But I think social media and echo chambers (on both sides) is also a bigger aspect. These issues have always been around since we've been a country, but because of the media, social media, etc, every disagreement becomes a political debate without ever trying to have mutual respect or conversation. Except for Channel 5. Peace.

2022-06-02 00:58:31 +0000 UTCWhile I am very proud of the fact my little monthly contribution here on Patreon helps to fund these videos, these videos also depress the hell out of me at the same time as they do very much illustrate the fact the simple truth of the situation is there are just too many opinions and sides for us as Americans to ever come to any reasonable agreement about anything. The TLDR version: We are doomed and Andrew and crew are documenting the downfall of American Civilization.

Warren McCarthy
2022-06-02 00:38:22 +0000 UTCIt's also wild that they always act like these kids are in this crazy criminal mindset, Salvador and most mass shooters only do what they do because it's easy, the black market would scare them off or at least greatly delay them AND HAVE POTENTIAL TO CATCH THEM BEFORE THE CRIME. Knives and other weapons exist, but if you look at most of these people, they wouldn't be in these situations without the ease of access to a gun lol. Hell, I have my medical card and I'm legally not allowed to own a gun, yet, my AR sits beside me because my card lapsed for a week and I bought it during that timeframe lol. I've also been on medications for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and mood stabilizers for extreme lows, I felt like most of my medications were unnecessary (I've been off of them for 3 years), but it's kind of fucking wild to think that someone of the opposite temperament (my bipolar is mostly depressive states and highs of happiness, not so much anger) on the same medication could just easily get a gun if they wanted. Anyone saying our background checks are enough is in denial.
Chris
2022-06-02 00:35:13 +0000 UTCThat guy who 'caught' EDP was also 'caught' doing the exact same shit with an undercover officer pretending to be a teenager. The dude is legitimately weird and I fucking KNEW I recognized him, of course, his take is also stupid.

Wyatt Strohm
2022-06-01 23:58:24 +0000 UTCYes, it really sets Ch5 apart from a lot of typical coverage of this stuff. Despite the extreme polarisation of views you get to see an actual common thread of humanity running through it. Normal coverage of stuff like this just finds the responses that fitsneatly into the two tribal narratives rather than giving us an on the ground view of the diversity of opinions. On regular news Pillow Guy and Crosswalk Guy would be indistinguishable. Have to say the Antifa guy just nailed it.
