a vegetative state. the 2 victims of random shooting a tragedy. this affects the significant number of americans each year. the culprits, whenever course, i'm absolutely no idea who shot me. you know, they're, there been a lot of working series by law enforcement, but no one has ever been caught. no one's ever been charged. so 17 years later, you know, i still don't know why was it someone, someone who hated us that much, that they wanted to kill us? this is someone who mistook goes for someone else. someone who just fired a gun in that direction and we just happened to be there. i don't know, but it's no different than lots of other folks who get shot in the united states.
1:35 pm
jennifer long didn't advocate so background checks on gun purchases and safe guns storage. every year i've run a very simple bill around safe storage. so if a child in your home is injured because you didn't safely secure your firearm, you're facing a fine. that's all a fine um and i haven't been able to get that bill heard. i run it every year, but i can't get it moved into a committee. i think that it's possible to do it. i have to believe that in order to keep doing it, if this were easy, we'd be done. and it's not simple. it's not. but i believe so little by little by little, we're going to make a difference. she's waging an uphill battle in a country that's more um to the nasa. every vodka,
1:36 pm

1:37 pm
a year to track down my grants. they want to capture people who enter the us illegally from mexico. i do it a lot by myself just driving down the road and i'll see somebody the group of guys stopped in the bushes and was just stopping neil dukes on the goals. he took some good american, getting him back and i personally satellite, phoning, co, border control, tell him where i'm at. which direction i'm going where it may be. drive up to usually that spot and there are waiting for certain police know ready to go and get it right to something different. they say that to help out the us border patrol, which they claim is over stretched. it's not a legal as long as they didn't hold the migrant against that. well,
1:38 pm
the many of the vigilantes say they of us to ins and to force in iraq or afghanistan, the flying americans that lead to tim, solely used to work in construction. that move to the border of to the 2008 financial crisis. an out in front of donald trump, he says he even travel to washington on january the 6th 2021, but didn't take posts in the attack on the capital. the founding fathers, the constitution is easy to follow. they made its short, quick, simple. it's to protect us against the government. if they become too tyrannical, they're pushing the the airy drop. okay,
1:39 pm
is the north town before the boat at the nearest police station is more than an hour away by calm diminishing i give some of the towns $600.00 or so inhabitants a feeling of security despise a fatal incident on may. the 30th 2009. that's when members of a different vigilante group broke into a private home, claiming drug smugglers lift that they killed a 10 year old. go and test all the the mazda. so in judge managed to call for help. the little one, where is your engine fixed? my daughter, my husband, they shot them. how old is your daughter? and the
1:40 pm
at the house of the 2nd dimensions, right? 2 bedrooms is the idea to well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free states. but this constitutional phrasing is state in the united states, historical racism, the historian, gen, if acosta and the origins of militias a closely linked to slavery, the at that time the state militia was the slave patrol. so if the federal government, by virtue of the us constitution didn't protect a states rights have alicia, or in other words, have a slave patrol that could fundamentally undermine the system of slavery. that was part and parcel of the united states added to the there was lots and lots of concern about labor value and about insurrection,
1:41 pm
about the idea that in slaves, peoples would understandably rebel. and so without a slave patrol, there was a lot of fear among ways that this whole system wouldn't be in the 18th century. um, diminishes in full slavery nose in 18. $61.00 white's fee is if the results were realized. then black preachin not ton, uh, led to a bloody insurrection against white slave holders. demolishes revenge swiftly followed to now was haines. more than a 100 of the slaves killed. the threat was met really with an extreme show of force. and so we see this not just in terms of the brutality of slave patrols, but also the brutality of, of white supremacist militias in the aftermath of the civil war. so the ku klux klan,
1:42 pm
we see this in the context of lynch mobs. and then of course we see this all the way until the so called self defense shooting, in which, um, you know, we have african americans and people of color being gun down. these are very much imbedded in the racial politics of the united states. the use of documented cases show a deadly packing of police violence against the black circle. in 2016 for alondo cas dial was shot dead in his car to ring a traffic stop the 2020 brionas taylor was killed by police in her apartment in the middle of the night in the same yes. 3 white men shots a mode operate. well, he was joking. killings that shook the country and sparked protest are now a shot prize in anti black. hate crimes has led more and more black americans to um
1:43 pm
themselves. how you doing joe? nice to meet you ma'am. nice to meet you. i know. all right, phillips macy's found and president of the national african american gun association naca. since its founding in 2015 membership has grown 245000 so black americans in the us buying homes in large numbers is a new phenomenon. for what's the name of the folder? oh is this is what stores. based on the 9th count in buffalo, soldiers doing them all the regiment o 3, again, runaway slaves. the former businessman is proud of his heritage and the organization he founded with
1:44 pm
the goal of preserving. i'm protecting the community, the . we're probably about 14000000 ask americans world nationwide here in the us to have guns now as a lot of folks, 14000000 the pandemic to me was the, the line and the saying that combine with the political and racial tension that you have in the country. right now, i'm not gonna call it a renaissance. we're asking americans, i'm gonna call it an awakening because we've never had this many black folks in the united states having guns at the same time. free as an absence in there to be shot by the twins. because you over there, the worst thing that i can do is to say, you know what, i don't deserve this got my ancestors, harriet tubman, the buffalo soldiers, the tuskegee airmen. the black panthers of self defense, the deacons of defense. not turned on all those black men and women and many, many more and many more organizations,
1:45 pm
they may die for nothing. the one thing we should do after a black person a shot is the next day we all to carry. historically, asking americans have been given this socialization that we do not need to have guns. we're the only community ethnically in the world that believe that that is think about that statement. you don't need guns to protect yourself, but everyone else around you has guns. what kind of crazy mental state do you have to be to believe that? and people wonder why. okay, why are blackman being attacked on a sunday after looking at houses and jogging and 3 white guys drop by in the truck and jump out and, and, and beat him up and shoot him. why does that happen? because we continue to act like we're, it's okay to be a soft target. statistically in comparison to the white counsel pulse. black males in america are 18 times more likely to be injured by a gun. and 12 times more likely to be killed with the flying around you
1:46 pm
