You're listening to Comedy Central. So much happening in the world, but America can't focus on any of that stuff because once again, America is reeling from mass shootings all the way from Buffalo, New York to your valley, Texas. People are asking how long can this keep going on? And here's the good news. In response, a major bill has been announced which would ban the new sales of handguns and allow the government to forcefully buy back assault rifles.
In Canada, Yeah, this is completely real. Canada saw what happened here and they're shutting down guns there. Yeah. At this point, America is basically a scared straight program that gets other countries on the right path. Yeah. It's like you have a smell someone so bad you know that you decide that you need to take a shower. That's what America is with gun laws. Now, to other countries,
they're like, we need to do something about guns. And while most Americans liberals and conserve is open to common sense restrictions on guns to keep Americans safe, there is still a small yet powerful group of guns who believed the problem with gun violence is not because of guns, No, it's because of everything else. Part of The problem is
how this generation that kids exists mostly online. They see actual violence as it is portrayed in the movies they watched, the music they listen to in the games of video games they play. When I played War growing up with my friends, the boys were allowed to be boys. I said to my friend Andy, Bang, you're dead. But the differences we knew it was fake. And Andy got up afterwards and we went and jumped in the fire hydrant or whoever had a pool. What First of all, why
do I feel like Andy's fake? And second of all, what is this loser talking about? Kids know that games are fake? My man, no one is turning off Grant after we like shit? I just ran over Andy pedestrians. Should I get a lawyer? Oh my god, I'm too young for jail. What am I gonna do? The argument that American music and video games causes gun violence totally falls apart when you realize the entire world listens to American music and plays American video games. Yeah, but they
have nowhere the same level of America's mass shootings. And don't getta twisted. It's the same music. It's not like in Sweden they're shnoop dogg is like rattat tat tat, and I never hesitate to put a hat on a cat. It's the same music, while they're not getting the same results. And please, please please gun gun fanatics, they don't. They don't just want to ban video games and music. No, No, it's going to further. They also want to replace those
things with what they say are some lost values. The only solution is Christ, Jesus and being able to get some type of spirituality and prayer back into our schools. Right now, today, we live in a country where our millennials participation rate for churches is under thirty percent in a lot of locations. This is the lowest church participation we've ever had as a nation. Uh. And so it just shows you why you see so much chaos in our streets. Yeah, I mean that that could be one solution.
We need to bring Jesus into our schools. I mean, I don't know how Jesus would feel about that, Yeah, because if I was Jesus, I'll be like, yo, forget that. Look at what you guys did to me with nails. I'm not coming back when there's guns are fifteen ship. I learned my lesson, but again, if you think gun violence in America is high because people aren't going to church, then why don't they have the same gun violence in Europe? Because there nobody goes to church. It's like a thing
that's done. Now. If you go to church in Germany, you'll be the only one that even the preacher will be like, oh jeez, you'll scared the ship out of me. Nobody comes in here anymore. I even forgot there was a doll. Oh oh my god, that was crazy. H The point is, gun lovers have been blaming the same causes over and over again for decades, although this time, to their credits, they've come up with a new thing
to aim. It's not the guns, it's the books. We stop teaching values in so many of our schools now we're now we're teaching wokeness, which we're in doctoring our child with things like CRT. Yeah, that's right. That's how evil critical race theory is. It's only been around for like a year and it's already caused three decades of school shootings. It's really tough. It goes back in time. It's so powerful. Book man. I know you guys want to blame anything but guns. But it still has to
make sense. Can we agree on that? Right? You can't just blame stuff that you are already mad at. These guys are like, maybe there wouldn't be so many, you know, violent shootings in schools if my wife would stop flirting with the landscaper. I mean, is it just me that making it sound like there used to be a lesson that was about the importance of not shooting people, but they never got to it because they spent too long
on teaching slavery. This doesn't make any sense. And if it's not religion, and if it's not video games, and it's not the music, what else could it be. Well, according to some gun lovers, maybe it was the school's faults. One of the things that that everyone agreed is don't have all of these unlocked back doors. Have one door into and out of the school. I would like to see this a national push towards instead of parents buying their kids all these tools and toys and games, invest
in the classroom to make it safer. They have blankets that you can put up on the wall that are colorful and beautiful, but there ballistic blankets. We need to install man traps, a series of interlocking doors at the school entrance that are triggered by a trip wire. Trip wire can be a gunshot, broken glass, or manual switch choice by a school employee, and it traps the shooter like a rat. Are these people hearing themselves? You think
kids contel fantasy from reality? But your suggestions like how about we make a school with steal doors that slam and windows that turn into on creat or even better, the whole school becomes a transformer. Yeah, so that way, when the school shooter comes, the whole school can run away from man Not to mention, have you guys ever been in a school? Huh? Eunize the fire alarm gets pulled as a prank like once a week? You think the jocks are gonna be constantly tossing nerds into the
man trap? Do you listen to yourselves? And even if those ideas don't work. Even if they don't, there's one solution that conservatives love to come back to time and time again, and over the weekend, it was proposed yet again by none other than Donald jo Head Trump. What we need now is a top to bottom security overhaul at schools all across our country, and above all, from this day forward. Every school in America should have a police officer or an armed resource officer or duty at
all times. Yeah, yeah, you know, you always hear people saying this after a school shooting. What we need is armed police officers in the school. What's amazing about the debate this time is that they're still saying it's even though in the shooting that just happened, there was an armed police officer and it didn't help. Classic Trump proposing a solution after it already failed. I mean, he would have been a lot of fun in the lifeboats after
the Titanic. Next time, we should just ram that iceberg really hard. What's the worst that could happen? What do you think, Jack, what do you think? And as we've all heard by now, there wasn't just an armed resource officer on the scene. There was a whole platoon of police officers who responded to the shooting but didn't do ship to stop it while it was still going on. And I'm willing to guess it's because they also should scared of a gunman armed with an a R fifteen.
I feel like that's what we are to ask ourselves as a society. Do we want to live in a world where anyone can legally buy weapons that the police are scared of. Huh and just by the way, just by the way. For me, it's been amazing to see how some people love guns so much that they've gone from Blue Lives Matter to screw these bitch ass cops if they're not here to get shocked, And what's the point of having them around the police? Oh, now you don't care about the cops lives? Like, I don't know,
Maybe it's just me. I would rather say, get rid of the air fifteen's and make these officers jobs a lot more safe. Maybe it's just me. It's long how people flip, You just flip whenever you feel like it's so so crazy. How the cops they can't do anything right. They shoot people because they think they have a gun, and then now they're like they know it's a gun. They're like, well, we can't shoot them if it's a wallet. Maybe, But I mean, so, look, I know that America is
never going to do what Canada's doing. I don't even expect that. Right. There's a gun culture in this country that is far too ingrained to ever truly get rid of it. And I also know that we're not going to stop gun violence altogether. I'm not naive, but I would hope. I would just hope that after a tragedy like this, Americans could agree that losing some of these is worth it to prevent losing more of these. The
