- Suroosh Alvi takes a closer look at the future of firearms in America.
The firearms industry experienced unprecedented growth in the last decade. Fear of government regulation drove much of that growth as President Obama repeatedly tried to pass gun control laws in the aftermath of numerous mass shootings.
Now, with the political landscape fundamentally changed, the industry, and gun rights advocates, are looking for new ways to expand upon their 2nd amendment rights and the bottom line -- with some surprising results.
This segment originally aired June 16, 2017, on VICE on HBO.

The firearms industry experienced unprecedented growth in the last decade.
VICE News spoke to a Newtown mom about what should be done about guns, watch it here: bit.ly/2sOrWyz
VICE News VICE IS A JOKE
The growth shows an extreme disconnect between the politicians, who seek to limit the rights of Americans, and the Americans who are buying these firearms at increasing rates due to concerns of a loss of rights or direction of perceived tyrannical developments through our own government.
TL;DR
Politicians try to ban the guns so Americans buy more with a "Get them now" attitude
Obama was the best gun salesman hands down. Everytime the left talks banning firearms the shelves get cleaned out. Hell i picked up another AR and a arsenal AK before the last election just in case HAHA
The bill of rights ISN’T NEGOTIABLE
How much of your freedom of speech can I infringe upon to get HBO to stop being so blatantly biased?
The answer is zero, and as much as I don’t like what hbo says in their form of journalism I do believe in the right of hbo to say it.
So, if we’re required to view a legal document with the SAME invariable manner of scrutiny from one end to the other the same applies to the other amendments as well.
If not we’d probably be required to rewrite every amendment. Maybe start with the 5th amendment or the 14th
You see?
Or perhaps you don’t.
During Obama presidency, my gun shop had a picture of him with SALESMAN OF THE YEAR under it
exactly, @@DD-nq4re
Yeah but he tried.
@@DD-nq4re so we're going to totally ignore the flurry of articles written by news outlets calling for abolishing the 2nd Amendment after Parkland? No, seriously, if you want to take everyone's guns, go for it. If you thought the history of prohibition took a turn for the bad, you are in for a rude awakening.
@@jac1207 man I know you guys are stupid but stop saying those stupid things.. two things, If the government comes for your gun you think they're going to knock on your door? they're coming with an m-rap and a 50 caliber machine gun mounted on the top . Ask any Iraqi insurgents how that worked out? and you think you have more than they did, Wow really stupid.. and you're going to defend that? second thing, to change the Second Amendment would take Congress the Senate the president and the Supreme Court to get rid of the Second Amendment wake up and stop talking stupid shit. And thank your orange orangutan president for getting rid of bump stocks!!!! that black ass president did nothing against guns except sell a bunch of them......
@@hastytkd5768 he tried what? limit or ban? Answer nothing. Now let's look at Trump's record, first two years he band bump stocks.. you get caught with one you go to jail and it's a felony you lose it all. You are going to surrender every weapon you have when you get your felony.. so who has a friendlier gun record? and don't get me wrong Obama sucked...
To me, owning a gun is like knowing CPR. It can be used to save lives but you hope you never have to use it.
I like that perspective. Thank you for that. I use CPR all the time as a critical care doctor. Too many times to senseless violence period. Not just gun violence. I have not yet had to use my gun in earnest to save a life and hope I never have to. But I carry because I have seen the senseless side of it. Too much hate man.
@@docgillygun9531 You post your comment like you mean well however, your proper use of vocabulary says otherwise. Semantics is everything. People keep on using the term "gun violence". It is not gun violence, it is PEOPLE violence. Guns are inanimate objects with no ability to think or reason on its own. The conscious decision to make the device do what it was intended to do is made by the one holding the firearm.
That's basically what I said.@@williamjones4483
Its like a seatbelt.
James Provins nope. I can’t wait for revolution two!
Stand by.....
When a little girl is more informed about firearms than journalists.
Journalist is a very loose term. You have to be careful when listening to someone who identifies as a journalist. Most of the people who do are people who just wish to broadcast personal opinion or political ideology while validating it under a brand.
Although, it's kind of a requirement for any journalist to be less informed than the expert they interview.
I think you meant to use the word indoctrinated.
Colt Stiles I’m a 3 Gun competitor.
I’m not indoctrinated. What makes you think she is? Kind of an odd statement.
@@chloehennessey6813 A 10 or 11 year old is far away from having any realistic perception of the meaning of life and death, or of how things might be in different countries and working as well. All she knows is what her parents tell her and what she picks up within that community of gun guys.
Thats not an opinion, thats just the way it is. Of course there need to be people to be knowledgeable about guns and lead discussions in a reasonable way. But little kids are not the ones to do it.
That dentist forgot the primary thing about firearms when you hand it to someone else....UNLOAD AND CLEAR IT!!!!
He didn't forget, propaganda showing how dangerous it is to carry. My money say hes a paid actor
Or just don't be a moron when handed a gun?
Vince wilmifingerdo oh aren’t you a little triggered snowflake. A Muslim emigrating to America and became a successful dentist who can legally carry a concealed pistol has someone upset? Maybe even a little ( A LOT ) jealous? Your false accusations against him and saying all Muslim flip flop wearing women are a minus 2 , is really just your insecurity, lack of confidence in yourself and plain jealousy of some one who became successful and you didn’t. You’re probably even fugly yourself that your mom dropped you off in a orphanage.
If you're going to show it off in an interview like that, that's fine. Just unload it first.
seems unsafe to have it loaded in your pocket
I love how Vice gets monetised for showing shooting, but not even Donut Operator can do a breakdown with much less and get demonetised. Sad.
@Bunny no he just calls out the bullshit and shows you what actually happened instead of the blm fucks who want to insite violence. They chop up the video and lie to get a reaction.
@Bunny uh no
@Bunny well on account that youre bashing a cop you probably dont know much about. And cops in general wich keep the public safe you sure seem like the pig in this scenario
@Bunny you have a worm brain

He has no business owning that gun, has no idea how to handle it or clear it.

Looks like you overlooked the fact that he doesn't practice safe gun handling skills. . . .
Videos like this always stress me out because I'm too broke to buy all the guns I want before they try to ban them
Mr. Strawmann your a fucking Idiot if I was allowed to buy guns in my city I would have 10 🤣 make some money man they only 700$ each
I want an AK-47.
I just bought my last gun the 50bmg! It kicks less than my 30-06. Pretty amazing design.
check out ghost gun
Forget buying all the firearms you want to own but think about what you do own and that they need AMMO. Ammo for target practice and familiarity in one's hand of a favored firearm makes for better control and more confidence if the need arises. You do not want to be fumbling with a weapon when life depends on it. Keep em clean too. Fire all the rounds in a magazine quickly in practice and make sure it feeds and fires all. Aftermarket magazines can be defective.
They cannot ban firearms since your Right is given by your creator, it is Inherent. When they deny you your creator then you have tyranny.
Consider the fact that more school-age children die from transportation accidents, traffic accidents, and at the hand of a family member in the home.
Moms Demand Action stats about how many children are killed by firearms are fudged since a "child" to them is anyone between 0 and 24 years old.
The main cause of death for children under 5 is abortion. Teen deaths are almost always gang related. Children under 5 cannot lift a handgun or pull a trigger in most cases, they are not strong enough. Anyone claiming to police that the toddler shot and killed daddy with a handgun left lying around, police ought to look closer at mom.
Even they said “8/10 gun crimes are used via illegal weapons”
"Are we going to see the 'normalization' of guns in this country on some level?" What?! Who says they aren't. Guns have always been 'normal' in this country.
Right.....ahhhh its written in to the supreme law of the land. I think is pretty normal after 400+ yrs.

@@alcabone1126 keep learning, seek what it is you think you know for you do not know.
Props to Vice for showing that thugs don't know or care about gun laws. You can literally pass any law you want and they're still just going to do whatever they feel like doing.
Same thing can be said about murder laws
And if they keep passing this bullshit i’m gonna be just like them.
Ya but criminals cant get guns if guns are banned. Idiot.
@@liberalbias4462 You're the idiot. You do know that even confiscated weapons are sold back to the public right? You also know that impounded/confiscated weapons are stolen all the time right? You do know that even the military's weapons are stolen and sold on the streets right? Think (I know that's a very difficult task for you) back to prohibition times. Did those bans on alcohol stop people from getting alcohol? Did it stop the illegal sales of alcohol? It's a time proven fact that if people want something bad enough, they're going to get it one way or another despite what the laws say about it.

Christopher Gunter seriously. Damn near prophetic words
Amen.
I mean pandemics are basically inevitable it was only a matter of time
Vice guy: why do you buy guns?
Me: I think they’re cool and fun to collect
I like how he asked if we were going to see the normalization of guns soon... Dude, up until the 80's in the vast majority of the states, it was not alarming at all to see a group of kids riding their bikes to a local range with .22 cal rifles strapped to their handlebars, people would just carry sub compacts regardless of what the laws said, in many places people kept a gun rack with a shotgun and/or rifle strapped up on it in their truck or car. Hell, even in New England for a long time students would bring their rifles and ammo to school during hunting season and the front office with the help of a deputy or two would catalog and store the rifles for the students so they could go try and bag a deer or two after class let out. Guns not being a normal thing is a very recent occurrence that can only be seen before the late 70's to early 80's in massive cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco.
Yep, we had gun racks in the back window of our trucks. We drove those trucks with the guns in them because we went hunting after school. Get out of school, hurry to the woods before we ran out of sunlight.
Remember, California's first gun control laws were passed after the Black Panthers started sending armed patrols into Black neighborhoods because the white police wouldn't patrol them. This upset certain folks, so gun control laws were legislated and Governor Ronald Reagan signed them and enforced them.
@Greg Fakerson
'How many people have to die before....'
All of 'em.
@Greg Fakerson So Greg, what changed? Why is it that school children of the 1950's and 60's were trusted with firearms and allowed to bring them to school? Why did schools of that time sometimes have shooting ranges inside them much like swimming pools in affluent school districts? What changed in our society? Did our children become more violent? If so, why? Why are guns more dangerous today than they were in the prior 100 years? What changed? Do we allow our children to run rampant and unsupervised? Are we now going to let them vote? I could go on but you've already counted to three and made up your mind.
@Greg Fakerson Not really cringe or pity man, it's more a highlight of some massive changes that occurred to our culture in a short span. Also, when it comes to people killing people with firearms it's around just above 10,000 a year usually, all the other deaths are suicides and honestly, gunshot to the head is one of the fastest and least painful ways to take ones own life. Oh another fun fact, the majority of those just above 10,000 deaths per year with firearms are gang and narcotics related incidents.
The nation’s overall gun death rate has declined 31% since 1993 according to pew research. Despite the massive increase in firearms ownership.
Jonathan Bowen
Maybe the majority of suicides wouldn't occur by middle aged males if the legal system was fair to sexes in custody battles.
The laws in place are already adequate, the ATF needs to stop being a legislative/judiciary agency and enforce the laws instead of interpreting them...
On spite of

Hmmmmm
#CrushTheGuns
@Jonathan Bowen 500k-2mil defensive uses of firearms a year begs to disagree with you.
Jonathan Bowen - Logical and well stated against a lot of gun emotion out there. And like you, I have owned guns my entire life and enjoy this unique right as an American citizen. Too many emotional gun supporters today who will not admit too many people die violent gun deaths in our country and responsible adults can still discuss this, make attempts to reduce needless gun deaths, and still support responsible gun ownership.
Carrying a handgun in your pocket or clothes without a holster covering the trigger guard area, is stupid.
That’s how many revolvers are carried. The safety is the fact they have a long, heavy trigger pull. It won’t just go off on its own
Peter Dragon as well as double to single action semi automatic hand guns

"You have almost ten times as many places to buy a gun, as a big mac"
Roll that backwards fella. Each dealer working the counter at a gun store needs their own license. So if I wanna run a shop that's open 6 days a week 9am-8pm and can process at minimum 2 customers at any time, I need 144 man hours of licensed dealers a week, minimum. That's 3-4 dealers. One shop, you just counted it as 3-4 'places to buy a gun'. Mcdonalds got 7+ people working it any given moment, you're not counting that as 7 places to get a big mac. You're being dishonest about the availability...
You expect Vice to be honest ?
Mmmmmmmmmm... McDonald’s
@Marten Dekker So what? Are there 5 gun stores of the SAME brand?
Are McDonalds the only fast good joints?
Let's see how many gun stores there are per fast-food joint, and the numbers are meaningless. In my home town there is a gun store, for hunters equipment only, and no McDonalds, but 6 other fast food places. In fact, there are no McDonalds in the 5 nearest towns, but probably a good 30 burger or pizza joints combined.
Matthew Kiefer These morons are completely missing your point... r/whooosh 😂😂😂
Matthew Kiefer
Sweetie, honey, no.
I work in a gun store, sales clerks do not have to have a license, we work under the ffl of our employer.
Who else cringed hard when the dentist just pulled his wheelgun out and handed it to the interviewer? That's a hard no, bud.
I'm surprised that didn't end in a negligent discharge.
"Having it makes you feel safer?"
"No, no."
No shit it doesn't make him feel safer. Dimwit doesn't have any training or common sense.
WELL, maybe there should be mandatory training and more rules on who is allowed to own guns. Just a little hint there
@@SlavaUkraini1114 STFU libersl
@@TrolloTV How do you enforce mandatory training? I think their needs to be an openness and transparency toward gun knowledge and safety culturally speaking.
Also this idea of the dentist's that owning a gun just makes you aware of the worst case scenarios and this being a burden, is absurd. Do you want to aware of the dangers and take steps to protect yourself or do you want to be blissfully ignorant before you are, in the unlikely event, attacked/killed?
I guess nobody’s going to bring up that he used air quotes when he said “mass” shootings...
I don't think he was trying to diminish the tragedy of a "mass shooting". I thinking he was trying to emphasize it as a colloquialism.
they count gang shootings with more than 2 people involved as mass shootings then act like the statistics reflect school shootings
I noticed that too. Freedom toons did a great episode of that. In the vast majority of these "mass shootings" no-one was even killed.
That's because they use nonsense figures. The source for all of these hundreds of mass shootings per year claims is from one source. This source states that there 1,500-2,000 defensive gun uses per year. Research says otherwise, showing, at the very least, 50,000-80,000 defensive gun uses per year and with high estimates being 2 million per year (pdfs.semanticscholar.org/bae4/8265900c8377287ece93852b30c68ac22f38.pdf).
On the source, you have to get to page 8 before you even get to a shooting where anyone died. With 25 results per page, that’s almost 200 of the 366 mass shootings where no one died. I went to look at the first result on page 8 just to get an idea if they’re really reporting on mass shootings as we think of them or they’re padding the numbers. The case I looked at was a shooting in San Angelo. It was a guy that was pissed off because people were calling him out on a hit-and-run. Not what I think of when I think of a mass shooting.

I love how vice tries to sound unbiased but their videos are just thinly veiled hit pieces.
It is pretty clearly biased. It's also a pretty clear piece of left-leaning propaganda. Note that while they mentioned vague circumstances, they focused on a "human" side of the story and omitted any meaningful facts.
Oh it's sooo totally biased. This journalist seems so incredibly pretentious during this whole thing.
Everyone should learn that everyone is bias. Even your friends at Fox News.
I love how people say they love something when they clearly don't love that thing.
Yea but this is class A gonzo journalism. You can’t expect them to not be biased
Love how every VICE episode has turned into an anti-Trump piece. However what we won't see on these episodes is the data from the DOJ which details the dramatic fall in gun-related homicides over the last 20 year.
True but there are an increase in mass shootings. Parents have to watch over their kids.
And the things is it better to have one person shot in every community than many people shot in one.
Adam Hobbins The drop in homicides and violent crime in general is attributed mostly to an aging population.
By decade, the median age of the U.S. population has been:
1970 28.1 years, 1980 30.0, 1990 32.9, 2000 35.3, 2010 37.2, 2017 38.0

Couldn't the same be said for all weapons?
Guns are not weapons. Guns are a device that can be used to discourage criminal behavior, in much the same way a hammer, pick axe or shovel can. Guns were not 'designed to kill', they were designed to give individuals the ability to not be ruled by kings or emperors.
now lets talk about the future of TV if it continues down the anti gun rights stance they have.
Well I cancelled my cable
What? Dude nobody waves guns around all over the place in their shows unless it’s definitively obvious that it’s total fantasy. People who hate guns still support law enforcement and military forces using guns. Because they’re totally normal people. Liberals don’t give a shit about your guns. Conservative media makes it seem like we care about guns. We just don’t want people that escaped from the hospital 8 minutes ago to get a gun, we don’t give 2 shits about a frequent hunter buying a rifle, or a veteran buying a handgun. Nobody wants to take anyone’s guns away. We just support regulations on people that are actually insane, and have literally expressed intent to hurt people publicly. It’s crazy how people believe that regulating a person with schizophrenia’s ability to buy a gun will lead to normal people being unable to buy guns

The 2nd Amendment Rights shall not be infringed upon.
@Greg Fakerson : Sir, at the time of the writing of the 2nd Amendment, the militia was considered every able bodied man. Therefore, the 2nd Amendment refers to all men and now all women. Also, did you know there were semi-auto flintlock rifles in the 1700's?
@Greg Fakerson: Yes, it does. You may believe that lie, but it's a lie just the same.
And what does the 2nd Amendment say ? please explain.
@Greg Fakerson The Second Amendment was about a large number of things, but the fundamental take-away is this: "We didn't give you the power in Article 1, Section 8 to take people's guns and we're going to reiterate here don't. fucking. take. people's. guns. Don't even impede their ownership of arms a little bit. Yes, it's really that important."
"No man has greater regard for the military gentlemen than I have. I admire their intrepidity, perseverance, and valour. But when once a standing army is established, in any country, the people lose their liberty. When against a regular and disciplined army, yeomanry are the only defense - yeomanry, unskillful & unarmed, what chance is there for preserving freedom? Give me leave to recur to the page of history, to warn you of your present danger. Recollect the history of most nations of the world. What havoc, desolation, and destruction, have been perpetrated by standing armies? An instance within the memory of some of this house, - will shew us how our militia may be destroyed. Forty years ago, when the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British parliament was advised by an artful man, [Sir William Keith] who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people. That it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them. But that they should not do it openly; but to weaken them and let them sink gradually, by totally defusing and neglecting the militia. [Here MR. MASON quoted sundry passages to this effect.] This was a most iniquitous project. Why should we not provide against the danger of having our militia, our real and natural strength, destroyed?" -George Mason, Virginia ratifying convention (1788)
We even have a letter to Sir William Keith written likely by Benjamin Franklin and likely read as part of that sundry Mr. Mason read at the ratifying convention from the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1755 regarding this: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Such as were inclined to defend themselves, but unable to purchase Arms and Ammunition..."
How to be a better shooter: don’t lean back when you shoot
Bring the gun up to your eyes, don’t bring your head down to the gun
Basically don’t do anything the guy in the thumbnail is doing
Best gun control: teach children everything about guns and how to use them.
Hiding guns and never teaching children about guns is the problem. And giving them a tablet, phone or iPad is what makes a isolated child and creates more problem. So take your kids outside and actually do something. If you want to be a gun owner, teach your kids about your guns. And if you don't want to teach them gun responsibility, then your the problem.
I will teach my child how to use firearms but I am so afraid that their emotion will get the best of them which result negligent operation of firearm or worse, criminality act. The consequences is heavy and forever lost, losing their rights. We can not be their on everysecond of their life we know it because were once a minor, I can not best way to do this.

John Smith That's the problem bro, not everyone has thinking like you. Many will have thinking like" if I have it let's use it" type.
The problem is we can't trust you. Who are you? You have the power to kill many people instantly, that makes you dangerous.
Manny S I'd love to see you apply that to Islam.
I apply it to everyone, we all can go crazy, that's why shouldn't have the ability to kill 50 people in 10 seconds
Manny, that's the point; if you have a gun, then you won't have to trust them with theirs! It's mutually assured destruction on a societal level. The one who pulls the trigger maliciously is neutralized by the proverbial international response and is destroyed by the sane.
"In a lot of ways, it's like NASCAR."

Nope, NASCAR went downhill after Dale Earnhardt died and never resurfaced while guns are more popular than ever. NASCAR slid backwards even further when Dale Jr retired.

@@alwaysopen7970 Not necessarily. Every sport goes through it's ups and downs. I'm sure sometime in the future, gun competitions will decline as nothing ever stays the same forever. Furthermore, your analogy doesn't make sense, you shouldn't compare the name of a nascar driver to the name of a gun. The proper analogy would be comparing the name of a nascar driver with the name of a competitive shooter, however, when you do this, you notice that both of the "athletes" aren't really popular. For example, I have no idea who Joey Logano is, just like how I completely forgot the name of the pre teen competition shooting girl that's on this CZcams video. When making a proper analogy like how I just did, you realize the exact opposite of what you claim and that gun competitions and nascar have more in common than in contrast. Besides, it doesn't matter anyway, the guy in the CZcams video was just saying how advertising in gun competitions is similar to advertising in nascar, which is an observable fact.

More gun control in an area means that law-abiding citizens don't have the right to stop criminals who try to do them harm... it's just like that guy selling the guns illegally said, it's just easier to get a gun on the street. When you don't have to go through a $1000 three-month waiting process only to get denied to own a concealed carry pistol... it's easier to buy one off the street.
@@noahcallaway7574, it's easy to buy guns illegally, because there's no real tracking system to hold legal gun owners responsible for selling their guns illegally. Get a national registration and start prosecuting illegal gun sellers when their guns are recovered after crimes, and you'll see a drop in gun violence.
@@RoastedLocust You will register my weapons over my cold dead body. I'ts illegal to have a registry and those that are implemented arn't followed.
@@Sovek86, a registry does not infringe on the 2nd amendment rights. But it's good to know you don't want to stop guns from getting in the wrong hands because you're afraid the big bad government will send you to FEMA death camps or some other illogical fear.
@@RoastedLocust don't even go there. A gun registry will do nothing to stop crime. Most guns used (95%+) in crimes are stolen, which doesn't solve the majority of guns used illegally, except now the government knows exactly who has the guns, what guns ect.
Those who give up liberties for fleeting sense of security deserve neither
I love it when vice does straight up reporting and interviews
I'm pretty skeptical of Vice and even see hints of bias here and there, the look on the guy's face says it all... But this is definitely better than it has been in the past.
I didn't see anyone else say this, so I will. Regardless of your politics, that girl at 5 minutes was one hell of a shot.

i feel obligated to buy a gun as an american, i missed out when i turned 18 but i'm getting my first AR next paycheck (:
bought it! registered with the GOA as well
You probably have your pick already or bought it by now,but consider smith & wesson sport 2 ar15, its around 500 bucks and is very accurate and dependable,and the warranty good too. It is one of the best values out there right now.
I got two guns and I'm 19. I also have an anti-gun dad and never shot before I was 18.
Twiggy the lizard - $1000 in NY for that rifle. Time I scoped mine it was $1200. And it was stripped. No pistol grip, flash/muzzle brake or mags over 10 rds. $500 for 15/22
bobbluntman I live in NJ and got a stag arms ar because colt ar-15 is ban by name. It was like $1200ish also got a .22 lr conversion kit for $220ish. I'd never spend some much on more than $400 (MAX) .22 lr gun.

There goes Vise pretending to be journalists again
What's wrong with it? I am very much pro gun and tbh I find this documentary quite good.
Is it totally pro-gun? No, but it's also not totally anti-gun. I'd consider it to be quite objective and neutral and that's what's the job of journalism. It's not their job to produce some pro-gun "propaganda". If I want to see such things, I go to NRA TV, enjoy some Colion Noir or I go to the many other great pro-gun channels.
There goes Grip Craft, trying to spell Vice again....lol.
@@TheMeoled I think many of Vice's better journalist works are very objective. Most other news outlets will report something and attach their own opinion in the end. Vice just shows most to all facets and leaves the opinion making up to the viewer. That's how it should be.
I love how hard you guys are trying to make youth shooting sports seem sinister.
+wakka chaka I didn't get that sense at all. What made it look sinister?
How exactly did they make it look sinister? I didnt get that feeling
Try looking at it non-bias and try again, don't let your mind assume, take it for exactly what it is.
They talk about how gun sales are declining after trumps inauguration so firearm companies have to market to a new demographic, the children. They pitch it as gun companies pushing kids to shooting sports as a way of securing future revenues once the fear mongering about gun control has passed. And they also make it seem like the young brainwashed kids are going to be the future lobbyists of gun companies.
That's what I took away from it too.

It's always got to be about the muslims or some other minority hasn't it
there are plenty other boring news channels to watch but you choose this one.
@kev french yes they are..
J T give an example. The inclusion of the Muslim topic was discussing how a normally liberal community actually DO support 2nd amendment privileges, as right leaning members of society would as well. It was showcasing an oxymoronic point that was representative of the greater derision and even occasional hypocrisy within our current political climate. So, wasn’t about Muslims. Literally just an interesting point they were making.
9:09 he points the gun at himself....smh
its loaded too. you can see the brass in the cylinder
also pocket carry, no holster.
I smh as soon as the dentist handed over a loaded firearm to someone, and then telling them after the fact that it was loaded.
@@JonBaumanMusic to be fair, the guy from vice knew it was his daily concealed carry, which should automatically carry the assumption that it's loaded. As well as this, all firearms should be treated as though they're loaded whether they are or aren't. I see this more as a failure on the vice guy's end than the dentist's (though if I were the dentist I definitely would've called him out for sweeping himself with a loaded gun.)

@@scope81with a million that's still 10 years worth of bullets at 250 a day , seems a little excessive.
@@alanmills9293 So then what is a good amount to own for a legal item? I like buying guns, it gives me joy. I like buying ammunition, it does the same, gives me joy.
Saying owning to much of something is excessive, is the equivalent of saying "Well, you don't need that $1500 iPhone, its excessive, you just need a flip phone for talking."
Now I know the argument, "yeah, but phones don't hurt people, thats not a comparison." Ok, my guns haven't hurt people? "well that's their purpose. Other people have done it." Not mine, it is not to hurt people. Sure, I keep it for protection, but I go to the range a lot. Hell, I dont even hunt. I just like guns, its not illegal, therefore, I buy them because it makes me happy. People are more likely to be hurt in a car accident than by a firearm.
I am a combat veteran and I trained my son to used firearms and respect life.
@Greg Fakerson Firearms are just a tool that help to protect our rights as Americans. Our forefathers created the 2nd amendment to protect the people from tyrannical governments and predators. There are people that are motivated to hurt you and I refuse that my son or myself become a victim. If you pull a firearm to defend yourself it is because your life or someone life it is in danger. Therefore you shoot to kill with no hesitation or you are the one on the body bag.
@Greg Fakerson Ah yes, we must respect the lives of empty coke cans, flower pots, and paper. #AllTargetsMatter
More good people with guns = more bad people who will think twice before shooting. Criminals do not want to have firefights, they want victims. Many criminals in America will run if they see that you have a gun on you.
On the other hand look at South Africa, where gun control is so tough on law abiding citizens that it's almost impossible to own a gun legally. And yet, the criminals are equipped with military grade assault rifles and will not hesitate to pull the trigger even for a cellphone because police rarely catch them. And why must a criminal fight you for your posessions when he can just k\ll you and take them. Criminals are lazy, that's why they are criminals.
@@BillClinton228, but without a system in place to track the ownership of those guns, you're inevitably enabling a lot more bad people to have guns.
@@RoastedLocust Nah, dont start with that logical thinking. Dem gun wielding ´muricans dont like that
Lmao the sound editors put the sound all the way up on the gun shots of the ar15 to make it more scary
no they're not. the camera is very close to the gun. and the shooting range is small so that amplifies sound.

At 8:19 in the video
12:21 what's the song instrumental name
How much do you fear firearms? Has the content provided here been removed from context? Maybe with intentions of compelling the viewer to believe that this "...particular gun..." - the firearm-variant that many view as "Assault Rifle" - is to be feared? Possibly that firearms should be feared, altogether?
Has media instilled enough fear in the American citizen to produce pyre through controversy?
This rifle known as the AR-15 is not an "Assault" rifle. It is a rifle produced by the firearms manufacturer known as ArmaLite. The "A" and the "R" do not represent an abbreviation for "A.ssault R.ifle." It is simply the first two letters in the manufacturers' name; much like the "G" for firearms produced by "Glock.," such as: "G17," "G19," "G26," "G34, "G45," and so on. The information that follows the preceding ("AR" or "G") characters/letters (such as "15," "17," "45," etcetera) often provides indication to an other variant or other measurements pertaining to the given firearm and/or a firearm-variant.
The CIVILIAN-firearm variants (one example being the AR-15; not to be mistaken for the {M}ilitary variant, the M-15) ALWAYS have further restrictions to its functionalities; with public safety in mind. They are definitely NOT designed in such ways to provide means to "Assault." A few of these restrictions may include: NO FULLY-AUTOMATIC (requires the user to MANUALLY operate the firing mechanism for every shot fired), Governed-ammunition-capacity for a given firearm variant, (a limitation to how many bullets can be loaded into a single firearm) and even a "Bullet Button," which is designed to restrict the users' ability to reload with efficiency; effectively making the process pretty tedious compared to a military variant.
If you have never handled a firearm before, or have never fully studied firearms or the history of firearms, try searching for "Handgonne" to really understand the fundamentals of "the firearm" and it's origins.
Also, check out www.americanfirearms.org/gun-history/ and search for the history pertaining to the listed firearms in the given timeline.
I'd also encourage you to absorb instruction through a firearms course, so that you may decide for yourself *from experience* (rather than from projections by various types of media) if we should keep our "...right of the people to keep and bear Arms..." that "...shall not be infringed."
