TYT: Republicans Fought For Armor-Piercing Bullets For Terrorists



Who’s for protecting cops? We are. Who’s not? The Republicans and the NRA, who want to allow people on the terrorist watch list to buy guns… who want armor-piercing bullets on store shelves. Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Wood said she was on the second floor of her building around 11:15 Wednesday morning when she heard what sounded like automatic gunfire. She said she heard about 25 to 30 rounds, followed by more gunfire.

She said she heard about 25 to 30 rounds, followed by more gunfire.

"You could tell the person stopped and re-loaded and started again," Wood said.

Wood said she immediately moved away from the windows, called 911 and made an announcement to the school over an intercom telling students to stay where they were.

She said there were about 60 adults at the school and that people were worried and tense, but that everyone was safe. She said the school was on lockdown.”*

1. Absolutely right. It's about the culture of superheroes.

And little kids are taught that culture very young. We really have to change so that our superheroes are people who help other without guns and shooting and killing. It's about our culture. We have a culture that glorifies killing. And I don't want to censor artists or anyone else, but that culture emanates from Hollywood and the movies and the comic strips.

Sorry. But the only way you will get gun legislation is to change the culture. Artists and writers and movie makers need to take some responsibility here. I don't know how to change this, but something has to change.

I've been scared of these angry white folks buying guns for a long time. And there have been too many mass shootings lately.

Is this happening now? I know it is not just angry white people doing it, it's more about the angry white people being a hornets nest, without reason, being poked by ISIS and others. They react.

I prefer not being a hornet and using my human brain.
