The same logic applies to car ownership. Car drivers kill 150,000 people every year. That's 3X times more than gun owners.
@ProtectChildrenNotGuns Says:
AR are semiautomatic. Not fully automatic. What makes them different from pistols? Easy to aim, less recoil, higher capacity magazine.
@ProtectChildrenNotGuns Says:
AR's are best for self defense but it's pointless when the bad guys can also have them
@Michael_Walsh Says:
Uh, maybe ill take this seriously when the spelling of "Americans" is fixed....
@jeff5101 Says:
All rifles combined are used in less than 500 homicide deaths per year, fewer than hands and feet
@fracken1441 Says:
What's an "assault rifle"?
@geoffreytaylor9693 Says:
Is this guy a stupid turk? I dont need a reason to have ar25 or ar10 or big rock. Fuck there asshats
@geoffreytaylor9693 Says:
This video proves we have stupid people in this country wanting to tell you what you can do. Well, FUCK THEM. 1st ammendment says they can say what
They want, 2nd dmendment says I can own guns, get over it stupid
@americanpatriot8996 Says:
At 5:40 - that guy is full of CNN talking points.
@nhughes63 Says:
I own one because you don't want me to.
@johndotter351 Says:
Why I own one. Cause of the second Amendment saying that I can.
@Whoisreal666 Says:
TYT and the left wing needs to realize you're never getting rid of guns.
@Steven-c3n3m Says:
This guy commentator has a woke left wing agenda and has no understanding of the second Ammendment rights of US citizens or the United States Constitution. He has little to no knowledge about firearms and is the last person on earth that should be speaking publicly about firearms ownership in America because of his obvious anti gun bias. Our Country has a problem with violance and a epidemic with mental health problems, violant Music, Paranting, and dwindling Faith in God. Let us start with that. Hollywood is responsible for showing everyone in our society that violance is okay and accessible to all. Hollywood unsanctioned and awarded for producing such violance and trash movies as entertainment in our culture. Even young children can and do watch the garbage every day ! Game makers in this country and others are making violance apart of our kids everyday play and pass times right under their parents nose. There is violance that the news covers on TV and social media that should not be shown to anyone in the general public and kids are traumatized by it every day on TV and Radio shows. Parents need to step up and know what your kids are doing and involved in. They may need to turn off, confiscate, hide, lock up, sell, throw away, and say no, not under our roof ! Our Faith Institutions, Churches are under assault by the propaganda of woke, lefttist, Marxist, Communist, toxic Feminist ideologies that emasculates and abuses Men. Don't you dare tell me and the public that law abiding gun owner's are to blame for the gun violance in American society ! We know that automobiles kill and injure people everyday. We don't call for banning auto makers and ownership of their vehicle's to US citizens. Our forefathers that wrote the Constitution were careful about protecting the rights of it's Citizens even from their own elected Government were they to try to impose Tyranny on the people. That is the mark of a great Nation ! The reason non of our advisories around the world have attempted to attack our mainland is because they are well aware that 1/3 of our citizens own guns. It is the criminals and the insane that using firearms for violance in America. Not the law abiding owners who are using them for home and self defence, or the target shooter, hunter, collector, or manufacturers of firearms.

TYT, leftwing communist trying to push a woke agenda.
@carlallen5235 Says:
Believe The focus should be on crime prevention & prosecution. Folks! All this letting criminals out of jail, pardoning prisoners, & the Borders Wide open for over 3 years! A real Mess Has been created! By the very people that's paid to prevent this??? AND THEY'RE SLEEP AT THE WHEEL!!
@philipdennis-rh7uj Says:
Dont call them Assualt Rifles. Assualt is a action. Your rifle is a tool. Dont call them A R 15 s. A R 15s are a rifle built in the mid 60s ..Armorlite Rifle.. sold to the Colt company that created the Colt M 16. Its the most common rifle in America. I own them because Iwant / can. Its my right under the second amendment. Its none of your business what i own. Your uneducated. You have no experience. Your TV. You have no say in the matter
@tonycampaign5337 Says:
Once again, AR does not stand for assault rifle.
AR is the name of the company (Armalite rifle)
And is not a military rifle.
One trigger pull, one round each time.
Edit: an to the idiotic hosts of the show. It's better to have them an not need them, then not have them an need them. No one will willingly walk in train cars if they had the right to defend themselves.
@amallory Says:
It dosent freaking matter what a person owns for home defense thats there business who cares.some of these individuals probably couldnt be any more effective with it than a person with a shotgun.. a lot of the appeal behind it is politics and people who are just fascinated with whom there associated with like swat and special forces i mean buying a $1000 ar just for it to sit in the closet ok whatever.. i mean a hi point carbine or a SHOTGUN can kill you just as fast...but again some are just fascinated by the ar15 and the association behind them more than it is self defense...maybe its just the people i came across that ive seen that owns them that just have them..but dont actually take the time want to learn to us it.
@shadowseeker2197 Says:
12:00 bro is freaking bc 600 people of 330,000,000 ruin it for us (0.0001818% AHOLES vs 99.9998182% normies)
3:54 OMG 94% people DONT EVEN HAVE AR15S LETS BAN THEM
critical thinking be damned...
@shadowseeker2197 Says:
14:10 wow shocker when i go to look it up the FBI says the following :
"In 2022, the FBI designated 50 shootings as active
shooter incidents."
"In 50 incidents, 61 firearms were used by
shooters—29 handguns, 26 rifles, three shotguns, and three unknown" (48% HandG. 43% rifle 5% shotg 5%unkn)
MEANING: 14:23 yeah all of us apparently XD
@stefanl5183 Says:
There's no such thing as an "assault rifle". That's an opened ended phrase that can mean anything you want it to. This is how we know the guy at the beginning is a fraud. He's not an AR15 owner, because no real AR 15 owner would use that term. And by the way, "AR" in AR-15 stands for Armalite rifle. That's the name of the original company that designed it.
@davidkramp1829 Says:
You think it’s a bad thing that hearing out your fellow Americans humanizes them
@andreww1212 Says:
I love cars. Drunker drivers kill a lot of people with cars. Therefore I shouldn't like cars. #logic
@shadowseeker2197 Says:
13:59 semiautomatic
@shadowseeker2197 Says:
14:10 67% of how many?
Not 20 million.
No but ban the 20milliom bc 1% are used for crime.
Genius work thanks for 15minutes!
@mikeeddings432 Says:
You know who doesnt need a gun?...Batman.
@lakewobegonesbest8725 Says:
Imagine being a parent of a child who was killed and knowing that ppl valued their AR more than your child.
@tetleyT Says:
Americans 😅
@VapeTime79 Says:
Cenk, you do know that the A.R. 15 is not an assault rifle, right?
@VapeTime79 Says:
Anna, you do need an A.R. 15 to defend yourself and would you like to know why? Suppose somebody breaks into my house and intends to do me harm. Suppose they have an A.R. 15 and all I have is a pistol. Do you know the disadvantage tactically that that puts me at? I served in the army so I can tell you it’s not one that I’m comfortable with. If that person comes in with an A.R. 15, AR10, AK 74 or an AK 47 I could be in a lot of trouble. The good guy needs them because the bad guy has them.
@XAMMO63 Says:
This is the dumbest thing ive ever listened to
@MrRoyclennan Says:
When seconds count help is minutes away. I will never disarm.
@MrRoyclennan Says:
I don’t believe for a second that having access to firearms causes violence like you do. I think like the first guy does that if someone wants to do harm they will do with whatever they have be it a brick or knife or bat. Are we going to go after those too? I think not. Cars and trucks are used as weapons on a daily basis do we outlaw cars? Nope. The sheer ignorance of the hosts trying to get a foothold on the topic of gun violence and calling the ar 15 an assault rifle is ridiculous. It’s an armalite rifle model 15. Stop playing on people’s fears and renaming the rifle to something it’s not. Perhaps if the general public exhibited better situational awareness and carried concealed a lot of these so called assault rifle wielding attackers would be put down like the sick animals that they are. I carry everywhere I go. I’m aware of my surroundings and I wouldn’t think twice about shooting if I had to to defend someone from a weapon wielding attacker. The problem with your position is that the progressive and the left want to disarm Americans and you’re all about big government and power. Perhaps if you looked at the annual fbi stats on gun violence and what weapons were used you’d see that very seldom is an armalite rifle model 15 is ever used. You’re just preying on the ignorance of the uninformed population of the country. You’re shameful.
@Axecarter91 Says:
Ban AR15’s in Ukraine 🇺🇦
@user-qi6gm2iz3v Says:
It’s a slippery slope; already liberals are suggesting we limit the amount of guns and ammo we can own
@crevecouer6772 Says:
I’ll bet the commentators all live in a city. Police response time use to be less than 5 minutes. You feel safe not everyone does. Is your opinion more important than others ?
@PaulM-c8h Says:
TYT channel is simply pure communist garbage. You can leave America any time you want. Try Venezuela. You'll fit right in there.
@PaulM-c8h Says:
I don't need to explain it to these morons. Because. That's all you need to know.
@ronaldmello1831 Says:
Most mass shooings are done with hand guns and not AR-15s.
@ronaldmello1831 Says:
They are not assault rifles unless or until they are used to assault someone with it. A fireplace poker can be used to assault someone... but they are not called assault fireplace pokers.
@jamesmiller4085 Says:
This is like telling me I don’t need a hammer and should be using a sledgehammer instead ar 15 is great for hunting and self defense you can’t argue with ballistics
@thesbleeder1110 Says:
13:55
They're not automatic weapons.
Do you STILL not know the difference between automatic and semi-automatic?
@thesbleeder1110 Says:
Because I can.
@huntermayne1506 Says:
The Young Turks is too stupid to use proper grammar. "American's" is possessive. The title of the video should say "Americans."
@scottgaran7328 Says:
Cenk is so ignorant. If on the range you shoot 100%, in combat you will shoot at 40%. If 3 people are breaking in, you WILL need more than just 10 rounds.
@scottgaran7328 Says:
How do YOU know...what I NEED? The answer is you DON'T!
@200wayz Says:
You guys are way off more people are killed by hand guns every year as a posed to an AR you two probably don't even know what that stands for get off the band wagon and do your own research smh
@Ricky-g6i Says:
It’s so we don’t end up like Ukraine or Gaza. Much harder to control a people who have military style weapons.
@mosshivenetwork117 Says:
AR-15s are assault rifles.
@mosshivenetwork117 Says:
I guess preparing for zombies and aliens are a valid excuse.
