Great to see you on Steem. If you ever want to learn about Israeli gun laws (much stricter than you might realise) give me a call. At times, if you have a firearm here, you are encouraged to openly carry it to deter terrorist attacks and provide civilian protection. A friend of mine managed to turn and fire at the terrorist who had stabbed him in the back which prevented further injuries. Unfortunately my friend then died on the spot from blood loss.
Congratulations @davidpakman! Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following categories:

This seems promising. I like DTube but that platform seems to be struggling with basic functionality, like embedding videos into a Steem post so you don't get taken to another website. Hopefully 3speak can progress development fast enough to stay relevant and be more useful.
Oh yes! I propose a well regulated militia with awesome gun control will help keep insecure gun happy Americans from killing each other and the normal innocent people as well!
Upvoted!
I read that Trump wants to focus on mental illness and not gun control. Surely then, real cold blooded killers if they get caught could play the mentally ill card and maybe get off more lightly.
A lot of people are talking about mental illness. What they are not talking about is the compounding effects of the pharmaceuticals the attackers were on.
Additionally , your profile picture is so egocentric, you must be the biggest asshole on the planet. Egomaniac Much? Do you rape and eat children?
Using GUN in the title DEMONETIZES you. If you did not know that. Your a novice and an idiot.
Youtube is lame, you do a bunch of work and then they arbitrarily decide it can't be monetized. Sensitive content is pretty damn vague
I was in a hotel and saw your show on the TV and I was so excited seeing you on one of the channels. I was almost like the John Hill memes that got so popular. The excitement was because you were so active on Steem and you really made it big.
Oh, the gun issue... Reading through the comments, I see that folks are too easy to mix mass shootings with high homicide rates. They are completely different animals. Gun control in the US would be a very difficult task if not impossible. It would be like banning candy on Halloween. While proper gun control might have a reduction in gun related homicides, the mass shootings will unfortunately continue.
The younger generation grew up with mass shootings as a thing, It wasn't really a thing when I was young. Back then, there were only 3 television stations. NBC, ABC, and CBS. Their news dominated without competition. Then came satellite dishes, MTV, cable, more channels, movie rental stores, internet, social media, YouTube, Netflix, and on and on... Now news takes a back seat to all the possible forms of entertainment.
GUNS in large quantities and with ease of access in the US have been around for much longer than mass shootings. So what has changed? Most media sources typically hang the noose around gun control, mental health, political rhetoric, or a combination of all three. I would have to say that mental health and political rhetoric have gotten better. Many may not be old enough to remember when the KKK was a thing and it wasn't uncommon that politicians were members. Mental health was a thing that people didn't know how to deal with or treat when I was young. There has been a change though, It just is not what everyone is looking at or talking about.
What has changed drastically in my lifetime is media. It is my opinion that there will always be crazy people out there with crazy agendas. A small percentage of those crazy people will have a need to bring to the forefront topics that deeply affect them. Those few in their twisted minds will force that agenda upon everyone with mass shootings and the aid of media. News media is desperate to feed upon the energy that mass shootings creates and breathes life back into their outlets. The crazies can make themselves infamous while pushing their agenda while news gets a boost in ratings. It is a partnership that I have never seen when I was young.
Can we change it? Nope... It would be way more challenging than the task of banning guns in the US or banning candy on Halloween...
This post has been included in the latest edition of The Steem News - a compilation of the key news stories on the Steem blockchain.
It's good that a place like 3speak and steem are here so people can post their views. YouTube and other mega media channels all run off a political agenda and will only get worse at suppressing content they don't find agreeable.
glad you posted it here also, you gave us an informative idea.

Give prisoners guns when they get out of prison. Then they will be shot or sent back quick. Or be responsible and law abiding as everyone has the ability to shoot back.
Israeli girls walk around with assault weapons to protect the kindergarten class... I'd prize my children as much and protect them as well.
How about having homeless veterans get shelter to guard the youth? No school shootings ever.
And how about these shooters on medication? The real issue is these psych meds. Bet they all are on these drugs... Or influenced by the wrong people.
And the rise of antifa shooters. It's alarming.
Funny to see this particular topic featured on steemit.com, but I get it. It was demonetized.
I also think the argument that "Option A won't work but take all the options together as a package and it will work." That's kinda like how HF21 EIP was sold to this community.
It also kinda reminds me of the Package-deal fallacy a little bit.
Cool to see that you are now posting videos to 3speak! Stopped visiting YouTube as I find it mostly time-wasted, but still watch your content every now and then when I see it in my feed on Steemit.
Happy to be able to support your content here!
people are now opening their eyes and turning their back in this centralised social media. good thing
Seriously? You got demonetized for that? I'm confused. I guess people aren't even allowed to utter the word gun without being censored on YouTube. What a joke.

welcome to Steem and @threespeak - i wonder how you got that featured spot on the steemit.com front page?! I want one too :D
I think independently of me agreeing or not with this content, I think it is not a good idea to feature these kind of political posts on the frontpage of Steemit. It certainly is not the most serious thing to do especially for a social media company. (Especially considering how often Google and Facebook are criticized on this platform for doing that).
Glad to see you posting on Steem @davidpakman! Really hoping to see Secular Talk, The Rational National, Jimmy Dore, Niko House, Kim Iversen, etc. Posting here as well. I know all these people struggle w demonetization and I think Steem can help. It would be great if you could help spread the word and start the movement to decentralize the funding of independent media.
Most of the mass shootings wont be stopped. Most of them are done with legal firearms. The smaller scale urban shootings wont be effected really either because those guns are usually illegal anyway...
Also if you are being demonetized you should link your videos through DTubes system. And there are more tags you could be using like steemleo...
PAKMAN!! Welcome back! Great to have you hear again. Things have changed a bit as you will notice.
