If we don't abolish the 2nd amendment, we should at least modify the amendment with another amendment. Codify restrictions into the amendment with regard to firearms ownership. We did that with the prohibition of alcohol manufacture, sale and transportation of alcohol but not the possession or consumption of alcohol. The 18th amendment was repealed by the 21st amendment.

All respect to this man, in his unending pain, for doing all he can to help others so no one else has to go through it. Same to the Sandy Hook Promise parents and the Uvalde parents, and all parents who turn their pain into action to prevent pain.

So so sad. So frustratingly sad.

I am in awe of this man! When I heard about Ulvade I was hit immediately with red hot anger that it had happened again. Then I went int feeling physically sick and then onto fear for my granddaughter at school. We need to fix this as a country that cares more about people, especially our children, than being re-elected and power. The fact that it has been 30 years since meaningful legislation on guns just proves the case for term limits on our elected officials.

Wow great words that last election was voting him out this election is voting out HIS LEGACY!!! That gave me chills and that is words EVERYONE NEEDS to hear.

What I want to see is Ted Cruz to go through a door marked "Exit" and for him to never return. I am so tired of his constant lies and misdirection. Even con artists stop now and then.

Tears listening to this man. My heart breaks for his loss in so many ways....loss of an innocent life, loss of what his family was before the shooting, and loss of all the beautiful experiences he won't be able to share with his daughter. He is the epitome of fatherly love. Raising his family up in peace and light. Millions are behind him, and support his efforts. MAKE THEM IRRELEVANT!

I can’t imagine that after the pain of losing a child or loved one to gun violence , they now have to listen to the idiocy of some elected officials while they don’t do anything to stop the next one.

Sorry for his loss, I can not imagine what it takes to be so composed after what he went through. Cruz/Abbot/NRA arguments are totally bogus. There are people with mental issues and access to violent video games everywhere in the world, and these massacres do not keep happening anywhere else. If they happen even once (Australia, New Zeeland, etc.) their governments do something and the massacres do not keep happening.

@Kiiya. One Uvalde mother wanted just that for her daughter. There just was not enough left to fulfill her wish. I think she should have gotten her wish whatever the outcome. However, because of the kids one could not do that. Maybe Senators unwilling to pass gun reform, wait strike that. Maybe Senators who will not vote to limit the availability of guns in this country should just get pictures.

Great interview!

What an incredible interview!!!!

Yes vote for change let’s have some common sense , be United on this🥰

One of the most powerful and compelling things I've seen.

That dad is awesome, real pain

I'm not ever going to be able to comprehend what this father is going through. I can only hope that politicians are becoming more connected with human beings and take their responsibility to make sure any life matters. I'm not convinced that right-wing politicians will ever become detached from their funding billionaires.

I only have two words … ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !

It is maddening to watch from Australia, that such a simple fix, is so hard to do, and that is real firearms laws. A CONSERVATIVE government was the one that enacted some of the toughest gun laws in the world, and it took 12 days to get bipartisan support for it, after the worse mass shooting in Australian history. I can’t quite agree with the violent video games, because these are played everywhere else in the world, it’s the so easy availability of guns in the US that is the problem, but he is so right about mental health issues, this is a big problem. An 18 year old boy, can’t buy a beer, but can buy weapons of war. I’m not going to hold my breath, but I will cross my fingers 🤞🏻 hoping for a resolution to this American disease.

We can ban ar15’s , but if we need to get lesser legislation through first, that’s a foot in the door that we can build on. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Imaging hearing those sounds, and playing them over and over again in your head wondering which one it was that killed your loved one.

Heart wrenching... I hope an answer can be found and kids can have their education without the threat of gun violence.

Get to the polls and vote for people that actually want to work for the people like they are supposed to be doing

Brian, your show, pod cast does amazing work!

I loved it when the reporter was talking to Cruz and Cruz called the Uvalde shooter a violent psycopath. The reporter then asked Cruz why can an 18 year old violent psychopath by an assault rifle. Cruz couldn't walk away fast enough.

Interview of so much importance, Brian. I had chills of hope the whole way through. Blessings over Fred and his family.✨🕊️✨

As a video game fan and composer, I disagree with Fred on that issue. Movies and video games do not make people do these things. Other countries have more people playing video games and they have zero gun violence. Korea is one of the largest video game consumer and they have zero school shootings. Its simply a mix of availability that an 18 yr can just like that buy a weapon made for war. Whether he/she have mental issues - i can promise they have nothing to do with games, movies or music. Also, there is people that just are plain evil. Not religious but maybe no mental health care would fix them. So we need to make sure that these people cannot get a hold of these weapons with that ease. Its not too much to ask, IMO. But of course - The Rep want to rather control womens bodies. People - PLEASE VOTE. Please please.

What I don’t understand and dislike about the video games and movies is the glorification and emphasis SO OFTEN on violence. As I get older I am more sensitive and bothered by the gratuitous violence constantly being shown. It’s so acceptable and normalized and I don’t know what that says about us as a species. I know there will always be bad people who commit violent acts but it’s the rest of us watching violence day to day and the numbing sensation it has on people that I think will eventually be our downfall. That or the unlivable environment we are creating here on planet earth.

I feel so sad for these parents and for their murdered children. They are truly heroic for their tireless efforts to protect other people from having to live with the tragedy they themselves have survived.

The sounds going on in his head are from PTSD. A person can get it from one event, and it can last a lifetime. I know this.

Use the defense protection act to stop the manufacture of assault rifles, claim buildings over manufactures that build war weapons,and convert it to building computers to help children have an affordable education or build something that the public desperately needs

What intelligent, articulate and heartfelt responses he had to the questions. I'm sure he is an amazing father. It is overdue for ALL true American patriots to stand up, make an effort, vote and demand that the wishes of the majority are carried through, and it is absolutely clear that the vast majority want gun control laws that count.

"We as a country are messed up" truth spoken #VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

I deeply ache for this man and his family and families that have also been through this. I am also shocked constantly that people can make excuses for low gun control to his face.

Everything he said makes complete sense, and the people that he speaks about that resist the changes that we need to protect our children are the ones that have an alternative plan that doesn’t fit with what we all want for a united america, scary! Get out and vote!

Chauffeurs cannot be any younger than 25 legally, per the DMV. Our laws make no logical sense. It's exhausting being on such a ridiculous merry-go-round with lives at stake.

And this why we need term limits for Senators, and a shorter term. They should not be able to hold onto their power forever. That they can stay in power makes them willing to do ANYTHING to stay in power.

What does the local fire marshal have to say about one way in one way out?

This man is right on. I pray for he, and his family, for his great loss.

They talk about gun rights. Which basically is privilege to go into a store and buy military style weapons. But have no problem to strip away human rights away from Americans!

John Oliver said it right . I do not like that man Ted Cruz

This man is a hero to be such an advocate for the horrible school shootings to get things done. So sad for him and his family, like somebody already said he is very courageous speaking out and getting things moving for the better of all children and families.

Much respect to Mr. Guttenberg.

I know this is not the main point of the video however, Guttenberg stated that gun manufactures pay a lot of money to make sure violent video games have gun violence. Is that really a thing? I wouldn't put it past the gun manufacturers doing this, but I've never heard of this happening. I truly feel sorry for his loss and we've got to do something to stop gun violence but a statement like that just sounds a little like a conspiracy theory.
