The Jimmy Dore Show
Is the United States really unique and an outlier when it comes to gun violence? Well, yes and no. There are certainly other countries where gun violence is as prevalent, and there are countries where it is easy to acquire guns, but there is no other country nearly as wealthy as the United States where guns are so easy to get a hold of and where such a high percentage of citizens die from gunfire every year.
Jimmy and his panel of The Dive’s Jackson Hinkle and American comedian Kurt Metzger break down some of the differences across the globe when it comes to gun ownership and gun violence.

C’mon Jimmy… school shootings and mass shootings aren’t what the public deem as the same….
There should be NO controls on guns and ammunition in the USA. The people need to have lots of weapons to increase their power to overthrow the government through a full blown Egalitarian Revolution.
Obama gave Mexico a lot of guns with operation fast & furious
how did mexico not make the list?
Always disarm the police, military and wealthy first so that others like us can take over.
Listen to Kyle Jimmy. Gun violence has gone down since 1974 not up. The most frequently used firearms in gun related deaths are handguns and the greatest number of deaths from guns are from suicide. The statistics you failed to show are the ones concerning how in every place where access to guns increase – such as right to carry states like Florida – gun deaths by homicide went down and conversely every place where access to guns decreased – through bans like in NYC – gun deaths by homicide increased. You cannot compare America to other countries, we have a unique gun culture that does not exist anywhere else. If you license guns, the power to restrict or prohibit ownership of a firearm rests with the Government which means they can at will nullify the 2nd amendment. A right cannot be licensed.
Getting rid of firearms IS NOT the answer. Take a look at Canada and Australia and the draconian lockdowns and forced vaccinations. Sorry, 2nd amendment exists for a reason.
Guns scare every sane person. That fear should be turned into a healthy respect with training. Guns don't kill. People kill and sickos will always find a way.
Our government has killed more people worldwide than what legal gun owners have in the US. How many deaths are from gangs shooting each other over drugs.
RIGHT TO BAR ARM'S, IT IS IN THEE OUR CONSTATUTION JIMMY LAST I KNEW YOU ARE INCLUDED, PROVEN OVER AND OVER LAW ABIDING CITIZEN'S CARRIE AND CRIME GOES DOWN, TOWN IN GEORGIA IN ORDER TO RESIDE IN TOWN YOU HAVE TO OWN AT LEAST ONE GUN, JIMMY GUESS WHAT CRIME RATE IS IN THAT TOWN, 0
OVER 2000 GUNS LAWS HERE IN AMERICA, ISN'T THAT ENOUGH, WHAT IS NOT ENOUGH IS MENTAL HEALTH IN OUR COUNTRY GOING UNCHECKED.AND CRIMINALS RUNNING RAMPANT. GET TOUGH ON CRIME. GET TOUGH ON CRIME.
Living in a free society carries its risks, and there will always be the temptation to surrender your freedom to mitigate those risks. We must never give in to that temptation, because if you don't have your freedom, you may as well not be alive.
Here is Jimmy "Shooting himself in the foot" with his conservative followers. Good move!
In America its not a mass shooting if the cops do it
Oh my Goddess, The guy who keeps dissing Saudi Arabia without any cultural knowledge and doesn’t know that Saudi right now is the gay and capital lesbian of the world 🗺, doesn’t even know where Saudi Arabia is on the map, completely ignorance of the culture, Completely dismisses the 20 million Saudi citizens who are black and white and brown and the ignorance is alarming, they demonized the Saudi people. The friendliest, prettiest tri-racial most generous people you can meet on this God forsaken planet, and they don’t know where they are on the map.
They have thousands of vets willing to do security for schools so this shit stops. But everyone's too scared of guns so we just keep doing nothing. It's pathetic
Watch a few videos of the way they're handling lockdowns in China & you'll understand why it's important to have a firearm. The only reason it isn't happening here is because we still have the right to own one. In the words of Dennis from Always Sunny in Philadelphia, "Because of the implication."
Jimmy you are definitely wrong on this one.
Sad thing is-we are in too deep.
The irony of the shooter making his way unimpeded into a school classroom and securing the room so that men with guns were "unable" to enter. What total horsecrap…
You hav to come to terms with it ,America is a extremely violent country,you should be asking what's wrong with your country when you need guns in the first place ,Europe gets along fine without them ,nut jobs
Oh quick-let’s argue about gun control (which will never be different in the US, sadly) -rather then the killer inflation coming. The baby formula shortage was just a preview in what’s to come. I mean…come on.. baby formula shortage…-in the UNITED STATES. Imagine being those poor parents and the fears that had/have to go through.
Remember that time Trump got elected and a pandemic broke out and all the political lefties went out and bought guns? Then the cops didn't do their job in Uvalde and suddenly Jimmy trusts the government to protect him again. 🙄
You just made America's point of the constitutional right to bear arms with your reference to China. You can take your chances in a free country where, yes, you may encounter gun violence or you can live under communist rule and be gunned down or executed for speaking your mind. You want to blame something for violence blame the media and the political fanatics (on both sides) that keep the weak minded folks in this nation imflamed and full of hate directed at whoever the MSM is after that day.
I have no problem with getting a license for a firearm, shotgun, or rifle. Even if we could ban all guns, this nation is so sick people would find another way to kill.
Let's compare the rates and types of mental illness and how available real treatment is throughout the world compared to the US. By real I mean not just the medication band aid, but one on one and/or group therapy and thorough mental health assistance.
if guns scare you, you NEED people like us to protect you when shit hits the fan
you will be looking for us
the government may have more guns but we don't have to make it easier for them
I guess Jimmy hasn't noticed in China people without guns are sealed into their homes to die over Covid-Australia fucced over by Gov too. Just because you are scared of guns doesn't make it bad for those who know how to use them.
Jimmy might wanna give up his 2nd Amendment Gun Rights but there just happens to be a lot of people in the US that will not and would rather fight a second Civil War than give them up! Yes there's way more guns in the US than there is people and bet your bottom dollar the criminals are NOT giving theirs up! There's no way for them to take up ALL guns because there's way more of them in people's hands that are NOT registered to the original owner than there is registered and many older firearms were never registered to begin with! I could only imagine the war they would start by attempting to go door to door taking up firearms!
Norway shooting in 2011.
Strict laws, but he had no problem getting gins.
The country Jimmy pointed out in Europe was Switzerland, which has very liberal gun laws, but also very low gun crime and low death rate by guns.
There are so many things wrong with this
I agree we need reform but their is no way we would be able to get rid of them all and black market would just be where people went. Karl Marx said the workers should never give up their arms and I agree.
