Man Gives Up Guns After Vegas Tragedy, Now Getting Death Threats - YouTube
Channel: The Young Turks
[0]
AN ARIZONA MAN, IN THE WAKE
OF THE LAS VEGAS SHOOTING, MADE
[3]
A SYMBOLIC GESTURE OF GIVING
AWAY HIS GUNS, THAT'S HOW HE
[8]
FIGURED HE COULD CONTRIBUTE TO
SOMETHING POSITIVE AROUND THIS.
[12]
HIS NAME IS JONATHAN PRING, A
DUAL AMERICAN AND BRITISH
[18]
CITIZEN, THERE HE IS HANDING
OVER HIS GUNS, THEY ARE NO SMALL
[23]
ARMS. HE SAID IN THE PART OF HIS
FACEBOOK POST --
[26]
>>THAT IS HIS ATTEMPT TO DO
SOMETHING. DO WE BELIEVE HIM?
[51]
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO SEEING
THAT KIND OF STATEMENT? IS IT A
[55]
GOOD RHETORICAL STANCE FOR
PEOPLE TO TAKE?
[58]
>>I'M SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE
GUNS AROUND ME, I CAN'T RELATE
[62]
TO SOMEONE LIKE HIM BECAUSE I
THINK THE MOST DANGEROUS THING
[65]
YOU CAN DO IS TO HAVE THAT
WEAPON IN YOUR HOME. SOMEONE
[69]
ELSE COULD PICK IT UP, YOU COULD
HAVE A BAD DAY IF YOU HAVE
[72]
DEPRESSION ISSUES, I THINK
HAVING IT AROUND IS SO
[75]
DANGEROUS. I LIKE THAT HE GAVE
THEM UP JUST FOR HIS OWN SAKE.
[80]
>>THE AMENDMENT, I THINK IT'S
CALLED THE DICKEY AMENDMENT,
[88]
THAT KEEPS PEOPLE FROM DOING
RESEARCH AROUND GUN VIOLENCE
[92]
THROUGH THE CDC, THAT CAME AS A
RESULT OF SOMEONE DOING RESEARCH
[96]
THAT DISCOVERED THAT IF YOU HAVE
A GUN IN YOUR HOME IT IS MORE
[100]
LIKELY THERE WILL BE A GUN
HOMICIDE IN YOUR HOME. AND AFTER
[104]
THAT BIT OF NEWS COMING OUT,
THEY WERE LIKE, WE SHOULDN'T DO
[108]
ANY RESEARCH ABOUT GUNS ANYMORE.
HE IS GIVING AWAY HIS GUNS, I'M
[113]
A CYNICAL PERSON, SUPERDUPER
CYNICAL, AND --
[119]
I MEAN, I HOPE CERTAIN PEOPLE
DECIDE THEY WILL CHANGE AS
[123]
A RESULT OF THIS, I DON'T KNOW.
[125]
>>WHAT ARE YOU CYNICAL
ABOUT IN THIS STORY?
[127]
YOU DON'T THINK HE'S REAL?
[129]
YOU THINK YOU WENT OUT AND
BOUGHT THOSE GUNS THE NIGHT
[133]
BEFORE?
[134]
>>IT'S MORE LIKE THE IDEA OF
SOMEONE GOING OUT THERE AND
[137]
SAYING THE SOLUTION IN ALL OF
THIS IS FOR EVERYONE TO GIVE UP
[141]
THEIR GUNS, I THINK PAINTS A
CERTAIN PICTURE OF, LIKE, THE
[147]
PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN GUN
CONTROL ONLY ADVOCATING COMPLETE
[153]
RELINQUISHING OF ALL FIREARMS. I
GUESS IT'S NICE, I'M RUINED.
[157]
>>HE'S LEADING BY EXAMPLE.
[159]
>>HE IS.
[161]
>>HE'S PUTTING HIS GUNS WHERE
HIS MOUTH IS, I LIKE THAT HE HAD
[166]
AN IDEA AND HE RAN WITH IT. I
APPRECIATE THAT PART. HE DIDN'T
[171]
TELL EVERYONE ELSE TO GO DO IT,
HE SAID THIS IS WHAT I'M DOING,
[174]
AND FOR HIM TO TAKE A -- I GUESS
YOU DIDN'T GET TO THAT PART, HE
[180]
DID THIS ON HIS OWN AND TOOK SO
MUCH HELL FOR IT, THAT'S
[183]
WHAT MAKES ME SAD.
[185]
HE WASN'T PREACHING.
[186]
>>LET'S TALK ABOUT THE HELL HE'S
GOTTEN, I HAVE ONE QUOTE, A
[190]
RESPONSE SOMEONE PUT ON FACEBOOK
--
[192]
>>COME ON. THAT'S NOT ALL, A
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING
[204]
TERRIBLE THINGS TO THIS GUY.
[206]
>>HE TOOK DOWN THAT FACEBOOK
POST, RIGHT?
[210]
>>HE TOOK HIS FAMILY OUT OF
THE HOUSE BECAUSE SOMEONE
[213]
POSTED HIS HOME ADDRESS.
[215]
PRETTY NASTY.
[216]
>>IF YOU CROSS THOSE GUN GUYS,
THEY ARE JERKS. AND THEY ARE
[228]
ARMED. AGAIN, THE WHOLE IDEA
THAT WE ARE ALLOWED -- EVERYONE
[233]
IS FOR GUN CONTROL, NO MATTER
WHO IT IS. SHOULD I BE ALLOWED
[238]
TO OWN A TANK, A BAZOOKA? NO,
THEN YOU ARE FOR GUN CONTROL,
[242]
IT'S JUST WHERE YOU PUT IT. I'M
FOR LIMITING MAGAZINES, GET RID
[248]
OF ASSAULT WEAPONS -- WE USED TO
HAVE AN ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN IN
[251]
THIS COUNTRY THAT WE CAN DO WHAT
AUSTRALIA DID. THE REASON WHY
[257]
YOU WANT GUNS, WHAT THEY WILL
SAY, IS TO PROTECT ME FROM THE
[262]
TYRANNY OF THE GOVERNMENT, THE
GOVERNMENT WILL COME AND TAKE MY
[265]
RIGHTS SO I WANT A GUN TO
PROTECT MYSELF FROM THE
[268]
GOVERNMENT. EXCEPT THE
GOVERNMENT ALREADY TOOK YOUR
[270]
RIGHTS. WE LIVE IN A
SURVEILLANCE STATE, YOU HAVE NO
[273]
RIGHTS LEFT, THEY HAVE EVERY
TEXT AND PHONE CALL AND EMAIL
[276]
YOU MAKE, YOU DON'T HAVE HABEAS
CORPUS ANYMORE, THEY CAN THROW
[279]
YOU IN JAIL WITHOUT CHARGING
YOU, THEY JUST SAY YOU ARE A
[282]
TERRORIST, SO YOUR RATES ARE
GONE. BUT YOU STILL WANT YOUR
[290]
GUN. SO NOW THE GUN IS JUST FOR
THE GUN, IT'S ABOUT NOTHING ELSE
[296]
EXCEPT YOU FETISHIZING GUNS.
[299]
WE ALL KNOW THAT THEY OVERLOOK
THE PART IN THE SECOND
[302]
AMENDMENT THAT SAYS A WELL
REGULATED MILITIA, WE ALL
[305]
KNOW THE OVERLOOK THAT.
[306]
WHY WOULD THEY PUT THAT IN THE
SECOND AMENDMENT?
[308]
>>FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THE
SECOND AMENDMENT IS THE WORST
[311]
AMENDMENT, FROM A WRITER
STANDPOINT. IT IS THE MOST
[315]
POORLY WRITTEN AMENDMENT. IT'S A
WELL REGULATED MILITIA, COMMA,
[328]
BEING ESSENTIAL TO THE SECURITY
OF THE STATE, COMMA -- IF YOU
[334]
TRY TO PERSON IT OUT IT'S SO
ARCHAIC, THE RIGHT OF PEOPLE TO
[340]
KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE
INFRINGED.
[344]
>>BUT IT SAID ARMS, NOT GUNS.
[347]
>>IT'S LIKE, THEY JUST WANT THE
GUNS. EITHER IT'S WRITTEN THE
[353]
WAY I BELIEVE IT TO SAY THERE
HAS TO BE GUNS BECAUSE A WELL
[357]
REGULATED MILITIA -- IT'S POORLY
WRITTEN BECAUSE THE WORD
[363]
REGULATED IS IN THERE, AND THEN
YOU SAY SHALL NOT BE IMPINGED.
[366]
SO SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE
REGULATED, SHOULD NOT BE
[369]
REGULATED. IT'S A
SHITTILY-WRITTEN AMENDMENT. THE
[375]
OTHER WAY TO INTERPRET IT IS,
THE WAY YOU ASK FOR SOMETHING
[379]
WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO GET TO IT
TOO QUICK, IT'S LIKE, I WANT TO
[383]
GO ON I WANT THE GUN BUT I DON'T
WANT TO SAY GIVE ME THE FUCKING
[389]
GUN. GUNS, ARMIES, BEING THAT
THEY ARE FOR SECURITY PURPOSES,
[393]
YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT, BECAUSE
WE HAVE TO REGULATE -- GIVE ME
[397]
THE FUCKING GUN. IT'S LIKE
HANDS, FOR GRASPING THINGS, THEY
[402]
ARE IMPORTANT -- COULD YOU JACK
ME OFF?
[406]
>>PEOPLE FORGET THAT THE SECOND
AMENDMENT WAS WRITTEN AT A
[410]
TIME WHEN THEY HAD MUSKETS.
[413]
>>I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT,
LET THEM ALL HAVE MUSKETS.
[416]
>>ANYONE CAN HAVE MUSKETS,
ANYTHING ABOVE IS ILLEGAL.
[421]
>>BUT YOU ALSO WENT TO THE OLD
BATTLEFIELDS AND THEY HAD
[427]
CANNONS. DID PEOPLE GO, LIKE,
THROUGHOUT THE CITY WITH THEIR
[434]
MUSKETS AND THEIR CANNON
WHEELING BEHIND THEM?
[436]
>>IF YOU WANT TO PUT A CANNON ON
YOUR BELT, GO AHEAD.
[439]
>>SCALIA EVEN WROTE AT THE TIME,
THERE IS A LAW BACK IN THE DAY
[445]
WHERE YOU COULDN'T CARRY A SCARY
WEAPON AROUND, THAT WAS ILLEGAL.
[449]
FOR THE PURPOSE OF INTIMIDATION.
[452]
>>THE WILD WEST USED TO MAKE YOU
CHECK YOUR GUNS IN AT THE CITY
[457]
LIMIT.
THE WILD WEST USED TO DO THAT.
[460]
THEY HAD MORE GUN CONTROL IN THE
WILD WEST THAN WE HAVE
[473]
IN
[474]
THE CIVILIZED 21ST-CENTURY.
