The sad thing is as a US citizen watching this I was like "meh". We're so desensitized to shootings and it's a norm we can hear gunshots going off in our cities and just continue on with life. It's almost like a "mind your business" state of mind...and that's pretty sad now that I'm thinking about it.

@@liii3622 but you don't live in a country with it's whole bases derived off freedom. America was built on the idea that we all have the right to protect ourselves from our government if things go south. Now I'm not saying I agree or disagree with guns because that doesn't even matter at this point in this country BUT most of the people who actually go out on killing sprees and the average gun violence is done by people who don't own their guns legally or have had their right to bear arms revoked from them for having a history of violent crimes. The avg. American owns a gun. I don't think it would be a lie to say that 1 in 3 own at least a small pistol and most own them to protect themselves from those before mentioned violent offenders. I don't know the answer to gun laws and what's the right way to handle the violence but I do know this, however unfortunate it may seem if the government tried to take the right to own from citizens that would result in war and even more death as we are raised up to have a certain viewpoint in this country and most would see it as a government overreach. Also, this may seem like a really morbid thing to mention but if I were the casualty of a violent crime I'd much prefer to be shot then stabbed to death or have my head chopped off like what happened this past year in France. Half the time people who are shot don't even feel the bullet enter them where being stabbed multiple times seems rough. I'm more fearful of dying in a car crash because someone is driving drunk or on drugs to be honest and it sucks now because sometimes I'll be carefully driving behind someone I think is drunk and when it's finally safe to speed by them it's some idiot on their cell phone. You can't even tell anymore.

It is. I hate that shootings are so frequent we’re desensitized to it.

My friend and I were in Seoul in 2019 and walking through Myeongdong at night. It was very crowded, and in the middle of one street was a person wearing a head-to-toe cat costume (advertising a cat cafe), who was holding a machine gun, pointing it at people’s faces. Obviously it was just a toy, but as Americans, our gut reaction to seeing a person whose face is hidden behind a mask, pointing a gun, in the middle of a huge crowd of people, was VERY different from all of the Koreans around. I remember my stomach dropping in an instant, and we both had an immediate instinct to run, that something terrible was about to happen. We laughed about it after, but it was an uneasy laugh. And we surely did not go to that cat cafe. 😬

In fact, the probability that South and North Korea will go to war is close to 0%, and the probability of being killed by others for no reason in South Korea is close to 0%.

When I was 8 and my brother was 4, we were exposed to the first shooting in our lives. We were all getting ready to go to sleep when one of our neighbors got in an altercation with a person. All I remember was how deafening those gunshots were and my dad jumping on top of me and my brother. It probably wasn't more than 3 shots but that felt ETERNAL. I never even realized how traumatic that was because as we grow up our mind is conditioned to think that it's normal.

I lived in Central America for 2 years. Gunshots were _very_ common. Gangs would even drive by my home and fire off a few rounds, for what reason I don’t know.

as someone who lives in Texas in the South side and West side of my city, it’s VERY common to hear gunshots or fireworks, and sometimes it’s hard to distinguish the both things for some people, others tho have been exposed to it for so long it’s like another instinct. A lot of kids here in the US are very aware of the dangers of gun violence. We have separate drills and systems in place in almost every location just in case a shoot out happens :/

I'm born and raised in a pretty dangerous place in Puerto Rico and I'm no longer faced by this. Recently, I was in a friends birthday party, there were balloons everywhere and one of them popped, anybody would have assumed it was exactly that but I instantly thought.. gunshots. I literally had to remind myself "oh right your friend lives in a nice area". The saddest part is that it wasn't even a scared reaction it was just "well.."

It’s good to see the girls react.

Growing up in the hood (Detroit), I witness my first shooting at the age of 8.....since then I seen so many friends and family get shot and I've been shot at quite a few time for mistaken identity, old grudges, and being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

3:23 That pew sound is actually a ricochet (when a bullet strikes a surface at a very sharp angle) and bounces off, the angle of the surface causing it to tumble and spin as it does so. That's what causes the high pitched whistle

I have a story that I want to share. I was asleep, but my dad was awake. It was about 2 or 3 am, and he said that he heard a loud bang. He new that someone got shot. Soon after that, he heard police sirens. I guess they took care of everything because by 7 am, everything was normal. The police found out that the shooting had something to do with drug dealing.

This is the best channel ever. Great content!!

My mom was a cop till she had to retire do to an injury and where I live I would say it’s normal/not normal to hear gunshots around me so she always tells me “get down” super loud when we hear something and it’s become something super natural that I ALWAYS know what to do in the sense I hear a gunshot so that’s what I tell my friends and family. It’s always “away from the windows down to the floor”. 😃so great to know as a 13 yr old 😃

"Please use guns only to protect yourself." That is exactly the issue. That is the reason guns are so easy to get in America. That is how that dad shot his 7 year old son. That is how bullied kids go to their school and "defend themselves" or "make a statement." There's this video somewhere about someone taking a course in "responsible gun use", and even in training they shoot innocents. No matter how responsible you feel, in high stress situations, you'll pull the trigger, even on innocent people. Much like that father. (And even if you're immune to stressful situations because you're a socio/psychopath, that can also mean you're probably numb to the effects of murder.)

"Guns are so easy to get" The first biggest lie told about guns from liars who won't to destroy the second amendment and people who never actually tried to obtain a fire arm. They aren't easy to get, to legally own a gun you have to go through an over annoying background check that in some states can take months going into a year. That's also ignoring the fact a lot of crimes are committed with illegally obtained guns to begin with. Taking a gun safety course online doesn't equate to actually taking a actual gun safety class where you actually learn things about the gun, and at the end of the day shit happens. But when shit happens with anything else people blame the person not the tool yet mention gun and omg the tool is evil, not the person using the tool.

It is illegal for some of these people to have guns.

The Weird things is that in most states it’s illegal for 18 year olds to buy Pistols but perfectly legal for them to buy Assault Rifles and shotguns. When I turned 18 my first gun was an Ak-47 even though I only wanted a Pistol for home Defense.

Koreans consider Korea to be the safest country in the world because in fact it's true

3:29 That was the sound of a ricochet. A bullet, if it remains intact after a glancing impact, often rotates fast enough to give a whistling sound. Otherwise a bullet (if not a special subsonic one) gives a high pitched crack when it passes close to you, as it is going faster than sound.

Ahhh reminds me of high school lol. In all 4 years of school we’ve have 5 threats a year. A mix of Bomb threats, intruders with guns and other threats

I constantly hear gunshots here because we're near a military camp and 20 miles from our city is a warzone. It's crazy because we wouldn't know if the gunshots fired would be from a drill/training or military units and rebels engaging in a skirmish.

I hear it a lot but it’s because I live in a more rural area and people are shooting squirrels and such. Or targets. Guess it would be freaky to hear a shot in a city or suburban area. Could be gangs, could be a crime, could be a cop, could be something else entirely.

Please react to Jamaican music. Satisfaction by the Techniques, Stir it up by Bob Marley, Cherry O Baby by Eric Donaldson and Murder she wrote by Chaka Demus. Please please please, I could die happy. 🙏

Most of them shootings were likely targeting someone so it wasn’t as dangerous as it first seems, although gangbangers are notoriously bad shots so gotta lookout for strays. In my hometown of Chicago only 100 people got shot over this weekend but unfortunately 19 were fatal. Those videos make it seem more dangerous than it is and more so when you’re not used to gun play. Like in Chicago 97% of the murders are in two neighborhoods, one on the south side one on the west side. Avoid those areas and you’re golden. Love the videos, keep up the excellent work, I love hearing from my Korean friends you are all very thoughtful, caring people and I enjoy our time together.

I haven't experienced a real school shooting, but I have experienced a real drill where it could have been one (it was a false alarm) . And it is easily the most scariest moment I had in highschool thus far. I was in a classroom during 3rd period, and everything was fine and normal until our principal came on the announcement saying that there is an "unidentified person" on campus and that we need to calmly follow procedure. Our teacher was quick to turn off the lights/locks door, and our classroom was pitch black. We all silently and carefully got on the ground behind our desk, or at least me and two other students did. The other two remained in their seats, not budging or seeming to care too much. The class was awfully small so we didn't have many in the room. The air was tense, and everyone seemed to be holding their breath. At first I tried to make myself believe that this was a drill and that they were making it more believable. Every second was suffocating, and as I crouched there I started to realize it was a real drill. Then came the panic. I wanted to cry and text my mom I loved her, but I was so scared to even move. More and more minutes went by until I calmed myself down enough to try and think rationally. I was towards the back, but I was up against the wall that lined the hallway. I made sure to keep my distance from the wall, but close enough so I could hear any voices,gunshots,screaming,footsteps, etc. I kept distance though in case there was an intruder with guns and their bullets could somehow go through the wall. I debated on taking off my boots I couldn't run in beforehand just in case. I even started running through scenarios where I could at least save one person and myself in this room if I were to hear gunshots or anything alarming through that wall...and I was ready to run and ditch if I had to. But I was still terrified. I was scared to move, and I was scared that everyone I knew could die. Realistically in that moment, if someone did charge in with a gun in that room? I don't think any of us could have made it if I am being honest. Maybe one survivor in that class at least, but nothing more than that. In that dark room, I was thinking of ways to survive ...even if they were stupid and unrealistic. I wanted to live. Luckily it was a false alarm. It was only an hour just sitting there, but it felt longer than that. It was really scary given the fact that I am in TEXAS of all places. If you know politics here and how everyone felt about guns, you can't blame me for being scared shitless. Shootings are a problem here in America, especially public ones or school shootings. Kids here literally joke about it to cope and many are already so used to that possibility of danger at a young age. I think about "school Shooting scenarios" in different classrooms so I could have at least a vague plan, and my school had medics come and tell us how to pack a wound and stop bleeding because I quote: "We aren't going to be there when you need us in that moment. And we aren't always going to make it. So please rely on eachother." It is a sad reality.

I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US and I have a police scanner active on my phone at all times to stay safe, which tells me when anything dangerous in my vicinity is reported, so I know to be careful. There are 3-5 shootings in my part of my city alone every day. Sometimes more. This is extremely normal here.... and it shouldn't be.

guns aren't the problem. people are. my uncle and grandad had guns (hunting) in their farm years ago but that was just for snakes and for people looking for trouble. i would be scared to have one in the house because... reasons.

It's more common in the US, and I am for doing something about guns, but the video gives the impression that every day in the US, you expect to hear gunshots or are in danger.

I lived in Brooklyn for a couple of years and in the first few weeks of me living there a cop was shot 2 blocks from me. It was a fast introduction to gun culture in the US. I got used to the sound eventually and only really got curious when they bought helicopters out to circle the area.

When it's the 4th of July or New year's my family goes into the backyard and we have a carnesada but we're told to immediately go inside at 12 am because there's allot of people shooting. It's really sad to say that it's quite normal to hear gunshots at night and just having to try to ignore them

I think a lot of people in America grow up without hearing gunshots. I don't think I've ever heard a gunshot in my life. If you live in the suburbs you probably won't, but the cities you would hear shots from gun violence sometimes and in the countryside literally everybody has guns for hunting. Guns are a huge problem here in the states but unfortunately we can't get rid of them, or restrict them or do anything about it because all of the conservative republicans that live in the countryside and the large southern states believe everyone should have guns for killing animals, killing home invaders, and just showing off to each other (because most people with guns have at least 5 guns). But guns do a lot more harm then good. They say that theres too many guns out there so they shouldn't even bother trying to recall them and that it would be impossible and that bad people would still get their hands on guns anyways, but Australia banned guns not all that long ago and since then they haven't had any mass shootings. The States have at least one mass shooting a day, which is really sad.

And your “fact” that most people own five guns or more is completely baseless and a well-known talking point of liberals to (falsely) instill fear. It is DEMOCRAT policies of no-bail arrests, hampering police, letting criminals back out on the street, and creating division and hate by dividing us all up into small sub-groups based on skin color, that encourages lawlessness. Keep voting Democrat though. It only exposes the radical takeover of Liberals by the socialists. And, keep in mind that you are free to leave horrible America any time you wish. You talk a good game but are a paper tiger.

During the summer, My sister lives in Texas and we went to the shooting range and I shot a gun for the first time and it was amazing. I felt safe already. Now, when I travel to states that has gun laws, trust me, it was the scariest trip of my life. I don’t want to go there anymore. How come when I travel to Texas, I felt safer than states with gun laws? That says a lot.

coming back to this after the horror at uvalde tx really hurts

There's occasional shootings in my area. Closest shooting was in the parking lot outside of my apartment. The apartment above mine got its window blown out. Thankfully during that time, the complex was being renovated, so no one was living in them.

For some contrast, can we get some positive gun videos to react to? I own several guns and carry one with me every day. I feel like shows the worst side of firearm ownership and see it as propaganda against my culture. If the goal of this video is culture shock, showing range videos would serve that function as well. In a country of 330,000,000 people, understand that these incidents are rare. And even fewer are mass shootings. A vast majority of shootings are 1 person with murderous intent for 1 other person.

After looking up some statistics, it's a lot more even than you'd expect.

Usually when there's a holiday with fireworks some people like to shoot guns up into the air too, which is dumb because those bullets come right back down to earth and can cause damage. Every so often it's in the news where a random person was killed in their house/car/front yard by a stray bullet from someone, somewhere, shooting for some dumb reason. I left the US for the UK for a few years and I absolutely felt safer knowing there weren't guns everywhere. I don't fear criminals with guns nearly as much as I fear random stupid people causing accidents. Kids accidentally kill people every year.

In Chicago on the Fourth of July we always have a lot shootings that night. A lot gangs or people like to settle their beef cause they like to use the fireworks to help cover up the sound of gunshots.

This is the scariest thing about living in the US, you don’t know who or what you’re going to run into when you leave your house, when your kids go to school, hell even at home. I used to live in the city and I always thought about stray bullets hitting one of my kids in the apartment. We found bullet marks on the outside of our apartment and through the utility basement window glass. In high school I was also in a lockdown because of an active shooter. Luckily no one was hurt. As much as I love America, I’ve become accustomed to thinking and preparing for shooting incidents.

This is exactly why I'm terrified of going out. You never know what crazy shit could happen. Also, the fact that I'm ten minutes away from the U.S./Mexico doesn't help either. Please be safe everyone!

Where I live its pretty normal to hear gunshots, so every New Years we spend midnight lying on the floor just to be safe but since my dad is a cop I grew up seeing guns on the daily. He use to take me to the police academy often so I will see the trainees training to carry one but he never wanted me to be around them, he convinced me not to become a officer just so I will stay away from them.

I used to be okay with hearing it every now and then. Now when i go back to visit old friends, i grasp my imaginary purse tighter

When i was about 9yo, myself, my older brother (13yo), my 3 cousins 12yo, 8yo & 6yo was caught in the crossfire of a drive by shooting while we were walking to a boys and girls club. We were on a sidewalk and these 2 cars came out of nowhere and stopped right in front of us pulled out their guns and started rapid firing their guns at each other. My brother screamed for all of us to get down. He hovered over me for protection, while my oldest cousin hovered over my other 2 cousins for protection. Luckily none of us actually got hit. It’s been 23yrs and till this day I still panic everytime I hear a pop sound come outta nowhere.

One of the scariest things about gun violence is that handmade guns can be made which can be just as dangerous! Or stolen weapons that aren't found, but don't belong in the hands of whomever has it. It can be scary!

I really don't worry about guns here in America. I grew up in a inner city in the northeast and was around plenty of random gunfire. However I have since moved away and learn not to go to places that I have no busy being. Only gunfire I hear now is at the range or from country folks shooting at targets on their property.

I live in Texas in the US and it is not normal to hear constant or even daily gunshots and my state is a constitutional carry state. People give multiple answers but not one answer fits every location as to why crime is bad. It isn’t bad here and so just realize that there are plenty of areas in the US that don’t have the problems some people commenting do.

Yes, we had a shooting happen here in Las Vegas. It was an outdoor country music concert. The shooter was in a hotel room & shot out of the window. 59 people were killed.

it's like crying in the rain !!!!

It feels normal because getting shot is like being punched in the face, it's targeted. If I hear gunshots outside I don't really care, I'm not in a confrontation so it ain't about me. Just like if someone got punched in the face, it ain't about me so no reason to be worried. No one really goes around shooting random people in the hood.

I used to live in the "hood" when I was a little girl and get shot at in a drive by, now that I'm not so in the hood I still hear gunshots and me and my sister are always like damn the daily fireworks.

I live in the south so nearly every day i hear either gunshots from hunters or fireworks. people round here set off fireworks year round lol
