@@draconicisha it was basically, hey, if we get randomly invaded, we might not be able to organize and send over the army with the huge supply train and resources needed in time to stop it. You know what? We should let the average person have access to guns. Then, if we're attacked, our citizens have somewhat of a fighting chance, and might hold them off or slow them down while we get our crap together. Remember, America was formed from average citizens deciding they had enough of Great Britain, and deciding to rebel, and was actually one of our most unpopular wars if you look at the public opinion of the time. So it was very possible and likely that they were worried, during the war, that a bunch of Loyalists might help organize a battle to absolutely destroy them, or that Britain would send in a huge invasion, because, you know, Canada is legitimately right there, and Britain had many forts here at the time.

When you're from Kentucky and realize we have laxer gun laws than Texas....I didn't think that could be the case @_@ In case anyone wants to know - in Kentucky you can legally purchase a weapon at age 18 without any special permits, licenses, or training. You just have to pass a background check (if you're buying from a store. If you buy from a friend or family member you don't have to do that either). AND as of last year, you can conceal carry without a permit too. Before then you had to take a course and get certified to conceal carry, but they ended that last year.

Most people have had guns since they were little kids (my brother got his first gun around 7 years old...) and could probably teach those classes themselves.

"Well-regulated" didn't mean the same thing back then as it does now at the time the constitution was written the term "Well-Regulated" meant in working order a well regulated clock tells the correct time
Historically, the militias were a thing since there were a ton of border wars, followed by the revolutionary war. Since the militia act of 1792 every man was required to sign up and train in a militia. It is safe to say the founders and the following generation expected most men to be well trained in firearms and also submit themselves to disciplined training. Also, America did have a a small standing army but relied on the militias for defense in border wars, settler defense from the natives, keeping slaves in check in the Antebellum South, driving out people they didn't like ect. Sometimes militias would clash with federal troops if they thought the government was overreaching like the Mormon militia or other state militias fighting against Confederate invasion. Later these became the national guard. And mandatory participation got removed. My question is "if acutal militias and are no longer required. The historical needs of a militia have largely faded away. And militias altogether habe been replaced by state national guard. Why is the right to bear arms still required?"
@@microcolonel well we were talking about interpreting an ammendment. I think it is a good thing to look at why the ammendment was considered necessary when it was written.
@@LC-sc3en the right to bare arms (not bear arms) is so that the people have the capability to fight against a tyrannical force domestic or foreign. The need for the people to be able to, if necessary, take up arms against any oppressor's is always and will always be a necessity because you never truly know when your government will turn oppressive and is also why any would be dictatorship always goes after the right of the people to bare arms and strips away their capability to fight. Both with modern dictatorships such as the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany but even the Revolutionary war started with the battles of Lexington and Concord which was a result of British troops attempting to seize the colonies weapons in order to disarm them.
@@a-drewg1716 what I am saying is the militias the founders were talking about turned into the national guard. Also they used to require organization and training. Also they were referring to a mostly agrarian people who actually used guns as a necessity of their life who could be and were called up to defend the nations or state borders and frontiers. The security of a free state in the second ammendment was about protecting the actual state from external enemies and rebellion. We can see this from how historically militias were relied on. I don't know where this "random unorganized and untrained civilians might need to one day organize to protect yourself from your own government" interpretation came from. But in the historical context it doesn't seem to be anywhere near what the founders meant the ammendment for.
I mean, to an extent I understand the concern? But lemme put it this way. I live in Texas, and I can’t even legally open carry or transport a firearm in my vehicle unless I have a CCL or have it stored without ammo out of reach of any passenger. Bear in mind I’m former military, and I used to be a contract security officer doing government contracts before COVID hit. I do a lot of driving for work now(co-running a pest control company) and we drive through some rough neighborhoods. On top of that, we have a literal tiger on the loose nobody can find in Houston, and that just adds to the risks on the job. I don’t have the time to go out and take a CCL class, because of how busy I stay with work. The Constitutional Carry bill helps people like me who don’t have the time or access to these classes be it on a financial or time level protect themselves. Defensive use of firearms typically save more lives than they take, and even if you completely outlaw carrying a firearm people are still going to illegally obtain them. Give the common folk a chance to hold their ground against criminals. (Ik that was kinda roughly worded so please don’t hold it against me, I’m not exactly the greatest with words. But this bill benefits me big time and quite frankly I stand by my statement
Wouldn't passing this bill also mean the people in the rough neighborhood you have to travel in would be able to get guns more easily, thus putting your life in more danger.?
@@skar9556 I’m perfectly okay with that. Unlike the NRA, I fully believe it’s every law abiding American Citizens right to keep and bear arms. Most Pro-2A activists will also advocate for ALL people to have access as long as they follow the law. Those people have every right to carry, and if they break the law or attempt to commit a crime against me? Well, it’s a good thing I’ll have that big iron on my hip
@@BarryMaDonk And what about the background check? I have faith in most FFLs to keep doing it anyway, but there's going to be a lot who just waive it altogether, and that's going to mean a lot of criminals, domestic abusers and straw buyers getting their hands on illicit firepower. And yes, there's the black market, but that takes a lot more time, effort, and money than popping down to walmart and getting half a dozen rifles.
I'm genuinely surprised that texas waited after Tennessee and Mississippi to do that. They both have conceal carry w/out permit, but its generally frowned upon if you don't still take the safety courses with the gun community. The logic is that criminals won't bother to get a liscense before commiting a crime, which is true, BUT not everyone grows up with 14 years of safety lessons using mountain dew cans for practice and there many differences between a hand gun and hunting gun that are good to learn about.
I'm waiting for the other states that have this to join the table and laugh at Texas for taking their time doing this, because in AZ it's fairly standard to go to the grocery/get on the city bus and see someone with gun on their holster and we've had constitutional carry for a while now. We also legalized num-chuks and weed, but if you want to build where a saguaro is, you either have to have a professional come out and move it or build around it.
From states that have repealed permit requirements for concealed carry, there is no indication that it has harmed officer safety or public safety. While it is an *interesting idea* that requiring safety courses by law would help, in reality it doesn't seem to matter. I personally think whatever gun safety courses people think should be required for a permit... should just be part of the basic public school curriculum. Most Americans will, in their lifetime, encounter one of the 400,000,000+ guns in this country, so perhaps all of them should be entitled to a basic safety course.
@@microcolonel They don't even have driver's ed or home ec that are genuinely needed life skills in a lot of schools anymore. These seem like they would be more useful to an average person's daily life.
Is it though? Crazy people pass background checks all the time. Pedophiles work in schools, Murderers become healthcare professionals. Putting more regulation won’t stop people from killing one another, it just makes them more creative.
And Louisiana. That now makes 22 states that don't require a permit to carry a concealed firearm as long as you can legally own a firearm. And yet we still don't have legal firearm owners going crazy having gun fights in the streets.
When it was written a "well-regulated militia", meant one that was "made regular" a term still used within the military itself to mean well-armed and supplied.
Vermont, Kansas, Missouri, Alaska, and about 14 other states already have constitutional carry. In fact, it is sometimes called Vermont Carry and permitless carry. Kansas lowered the age to 18 if the carrier has a firearm safety certification, similar to hunter’s safety.
This is why I love your channel. Your aren't afraid to talk about hot topics and you are willing to call anybody out on their stupidity. Thank you. Ps. If your ever near Fayetteville NC you'll have at least one ticket sold.

It is safe to say the founders and the following generation expected most men to be well trained in firearms and also submit themselves to disciplined training. Also, America did have a a small standing army but relied on the militias for defense in border wars, settler defense from the natives, keeping slaves in check in the Antebellum South, driving out people they didn't like ect. Sometimes militias would clash with federal troops if they thought the government was overreaching like the Mormon militia or other state militias fighting against Confederate invasion.
Later these became the national guard. And mandatory participation got removed.
My question is "if acutal militias and are no longer required. The historical needs of a militia have largely faded away. And militias altogether habe been replaced by state national guard. Why is the right to bear arms still required?"
@@microcolonel well we were talking about interpreting an ammendment. I think it is a good thing to look at why the ammendment was considered necessary when it was written.
@@LC-sc3en the right to bare arms (not bear arms) is so that the people have the capability to fight against a tyrannical force domestic or foreign. The need for the people to be able to, if necessary, take up arms against any oppressor's is always and will always be a necessity because you never truly know when your government will turn oppressive and is also why any would be dictatorship always goes after the right of the people to bare arms and strips away their capability to fight. Both with modern dictatorships such as the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany but even the Revolutionary war started with the battles of Lexington and Concord which was a result of British troops attempting to seize the colonies weapons in order to disarm them.
@@a-drewg1716 what I am saying is the militias the founders were talking about turned into the national guard. Also they used to require organization and training. Also they were referring to a mostly agrarian people who actually used guns as a necessity of their life who could be and were called up to defend the nations or state borders and frontiers.
The security of a free state in the second ammendment was about protecting the actual state from external enemies and rebellion. We can see this from how historically militias were relied on.
I don't know where this "random unorganized and untrained civilians might need to one day organize to protect yourself from your own government" interpretation came from. But in the historical context it doesn't seem to be anywhere near what the founders meant the ammendment for.
I mean, to an extent I understand the concern? But lemme put it this way. I live in Texas, and I can’t even legally open carry or transport a firearm in my vehicle unless I have a CCL or have it stored without ammo out of reach of any passenger. Bear in mind I’m former military, and I used to be a contract security officer doing government contracts before COVID hit. I do a lot of driving for work now(co-running a pest control company) and we drive through some rough neighborhoods. On top of that, we have a literal tiger on the loose nobody can find in Houston, and that just adds to the risks on the job. I don’t have the time to go out and take a CCL class, because of how busy I stay with work. The Constitutional Carry bill helps people like me who don’t have the time or access to these classes be it on a financial or time level protect themselves. Defensive use of firearms typically save more lives than they take, and even if you completely outlaw carrying a firearm people are still going to illegally obtain them. Give the common folk a chance to hold their ground against criminals. (Ik that was kinda roughly worded so please don’t hold it against me, I’m not exactly the greatest with words. But this bill benefits me big time and quite frankly I stand by my statement
Wouldn't passing this bill also mean the people in the rough neighborhood you have to travel in would be able to get guns more easily, thus putting your life in more danger.?
@@skar9556 I’m perfectly okay with that. Unlike the NRA, I fully believe it’s every law abiding American Citizens right to keep and bear arms. Most Pro-2A activists will also advocate for ALL people to have access as long as they follow the law. Those people have every right to carry, and if they break the law or attempt to commit a crime against me? Well, it’s a good thing I’ll have that big iron on my hip
FYI they found the tiger
@@BarryMaDonk And what about the background check? I have faith in most FFLs to keep doing it anyway, but there's going to be a lot who just waive it altogether, and that's going to mean a lot of criminals, domestic abusers and straw buyers getting their hands on illicit firepower.
And yes, there's the black market, but that takes a lot more time, effort, and money than popping down to walmart and getting half a dozen rifles.
@@skar9556 you think its hard to get illegal firearms? Its easier than Getting em legally half the time lmfao
I absolutely love your sketches and wait patiently for every Friday
I think this is my favorite episode 😂 the okie and Texan in me is rolling 😂😂😂 ( my family is for TX and we currently live in OK)
you live in oklahoma? im sorry to hear that.
Hell yeah Texas passed the Bill. God Bless this country
Texas you passed a what? Guns😂😂
😂😂😂😂 This is such accurate 😂😂😂 I swear we only get along when it’s approving more guns 😂😂😂
lmao true
I love that these videos Are funny but also educational to a certain extent
I'm genuinely surprised that texas waited after Tennessee and Mississippi to do that. They both have conceal carry w/out permit, but its generally frowned upon if you don't still take the safety courses with the gun community.
The logic is that criminals won't bother to get a liscense before commiting a crime, which is true, BUT not everyone grows up with 14 years of safety lessons using mountain dew cans for practice and there many differences between a hand gun and hunting gun that are good to learn about.
I'm waiting for the other states that have this to join the table and laugh at Texas for taking their time doing this, because in AZ it's fairly standard to go to the grocery/get on the city bus and see someone with gun on their holster and we've had constitutional carry for a while now. We also legalized num-chuks and weed, but if you want to build where a saguaro is, you either have to have a professional come out and move it or build around it.
From states that have repealed permit requirements for concealed carry, there is no indication that it has harmed officer safety or public safety. While it is an *interesting idea* that requiring safety courses by law would help, in reality it doesn't seem to matter.
I personally think whatever gun safety courses people think should be required for a permit... should just be part of the basic public school curriculum. Most Americans will, in their lifetime, encounter one of the 400,000,000+ guns in this country, so perhaps all of them should be entitled to a basic safety course.
@@microcolonel They don't even have driver's ed or home ec that are genuinely needed life skills in a lot of schools anymore. These seem like they would be more useful to an average person's daily life.
I think this is the first skit of yours that made me cry...and they're not tears from laughing.
I love this series
So funny. Love the series
as a texan i confirm the gun language is real
I love your channel. Spreading knowledge like California's wildfires
Missed opportunity, WV passed this law several years ago. We talk gun just fine!
A well regulated militia, being required to the security of a free state, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed
With the latest context, this law is terrifying
Is it though? Crazy people pass background checks all the time. Pedophiles work in schools, Murderers become healthcare professionals. Putting more regulation won’t stop people from killing one another, it just makes them more creative.
This hits way to close today given what happened in Texas
I grew up in the Texoma valley so was excited when I saw the title 😋
Do something with the cicadas in Maryland please.
And VA!
And Tennessee
'Guns guns guns' sounds like 'Boats boats boats!' and now that's all I can think about.
Florida being able to riddle off legal jargon related to guns is SUCH a FL thing. We're the best
CZcams dropping this in my suggested with a wink and a nod.... dammit texas
On point Ben. Outstanding! Tennessee did it too
wE DID W H A T-
@@ashmckay3356 It’s gonna be awight
And Louisiana. That now makes 22 states that don't require a permit to carry a concealed firearm as long as you can legally own a firearm. And yet we still don't have legal firearm owners going crazy having gun fights in the streets.
@@whitsend11 mind... blown... 👏🏻😂
And Kansas.
I’m shocked he still has yet to bring up the red river situation lol
Way less stressful to learn about news a year later.
When it was written a "well-regulated militia", meant one that was "made regular" a term still used within the military itself to mean well-armed and supplied.
People need to see this a year later
“No, but that’s what you SHOULDA said, square-head.” 😂😂
Vermont, Kansas, Missouri, Alaska, and about 14 other states already have constitutional carry. In fact, it is sometimes called Vermont Carry and permitless carry. Kansas lowered the age to 18 if the carrier has a firearm safety certification, similar to hunter’s safety.
Guns, guns guns guns! Guns guns.
(Honestly, this is a very accurate description of Texas and Oklahoma! I appreciate and approve.)
Ahem, gun. Gun gun.. Gun GUN gun!
Gun gun.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
Thank God for Texas
Man I don't always agree politically with how some things are portrayed but man i can watch these for hours!
foreshadowing is strong with this one
I've been waiting for this
Did the googling. am now horrified. Not even sure how I'm surprised any more.
That's the big brother government for you.
It took me a second to get that square head joke.
@ben You forgot to have Louie mention that we also just passed the same law.
Googlable words indeed! 😅
I keep on hearing Gungun like Star Wars
The combined name is actually Texoma. Otherwise, this is gold!
Omg I love his sooner suit that is the funniest shit I’ve seen today
This is why I love your channel. Your aren't afraid to talk about hot topics and you are willing to call anybody out on their stupidity. Thank you. Ps. If your ever near Fayetteville NC you'll have at least one ticket sold.
Whose stupidity was called out here?
texas is also abt to pass a bill that prevents hoas from being able to ban certain things, like owning up to 6 fowl (roosters exempt), owning up to 3 beehives & owning rabbits
srry, forgot to translate for my fellow texans: gun gun gungun guns gun gun
He's creating ship names for us with the titles of the videos XD
Been able to do this in WV for 5 years now..... nothing changed.
Oh look, this aged like fine milk
Yep
We’ve had constitutional carry here in Oklahoma for a little while now.
Seems like now it’s gone federal.
Oh shit, you had me at gun
SCOTUS: "The Constitution means exactly what it says-no more, no less-except for the parts we find inconvenient."
Everyday Texas seems better
yeah google them words
😅😂 Love this one
This has aged, I'm not sure if it's aged like wine or milk
facts about Cali and the bp!
You should have brought virginia into it. Only restriction is a magazine cap limit for some lf the denser populated counties- of I believe 20 rounds.
Yep sounds like Texas y'all!
Like that COINTELPRO reference...
I'm so glad Texas has a buckies cup
As of April 6, 2021, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa (effective July 1, 2021), Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota (residents only; concealed carry only), Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee (residents only; handguns only; effective July 1, 2021), Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming do not require a permit to carry a loaded concealed firearm for any person of age who is not prohibited from owning a firearm.
Well that law aged like fine wine didn’t it
COINTELPRO needs to be talked about more in schools
