In 2007, the Small Arms Survey estimated that there were 650 million civilian-held guns in the world. Unless we all fell asleep and somehow missed a coordinated global melting down of guns, that number has certainly risen. Yep, our planet is awash in guns for all uses: from sport, to hunting, to recreation, to personal safety.

Gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers 😂

Robert Mills Brother, I owned that many guns when I was still in the womb... Pump it up, we’re going to need it some day

Sam Gaming Just to look at them is a sight to behold. I was joking obviously, the only ones I own is a Glock 19, AR 15, Remington 870 and an M24. The M24 and Remington is in our house up in Montana, where we often spend hunting season in. The AR is safely stored in a safe. And my Glock is in my drawer, I usually take it on me if I’m going on a long road-trip, camping, hiking or any sort of activity like that. It just makes me feel safe, that’s all.
the 2nd amendment is the clearest amendment in the constitution.
xSiLviCoOk Actually, it's poorly written garbage.
The first amendment is the clearest and the most important. We are supposed to revolt if the government does anything to violate the first amendment.
Chris Hakala I enjoyed your opinion piece. Especially all the parts about your opinions (The whole thing).
The 2nd amendment was put in place to protect the 1st amendment. Without the 2nd, the 1st would be all but forgotten.
Gentlemen Of Fortune The second amendment is poorly written
The militia clause is written without any clear contractions, so it is not clear whether people have the right to own guns only in a regulated militia, or if people are meant to have an unrestricted access to firearms-in which case the militia clause is a throwaway line that doesn't belong in the same sentence.
The second amendment is also not necessary for a functioning democracy. Most democracies around the world function very well without it. The most dangerous thing to any democratic system (including republics of course) is censorship of opposing viewpoints, because that makes it much easier for a political block to obtain and hold power.
Chris Hakala It may not be clear to YOU, but for anyone familar with our Supreme Court it is as clear as crystal. The Second Amendment is an individual right that is unconnected to service in a militia.
With his British accent he should of said; Strangely enough though, for some odd reason a large percentage of gun related deaths in the USA are in cities with the strictest gun laws.....
They would be your poorest cities or those with the biggest drug problems no doubt.That would be why they have to bring in tougher laws in those States or cities.
One could argue that bad people don't buy term legally.
@@peterharrald2024 How are them tougher guns laws in those cities doing?
@@jhutch1470 I may be misremembering, but I recall that when Florida made it easy to get a concealed carry permit, the rate of muggings and street assaults dropped significantly. It appears the the criminals were afraid that the little old granny, that they wanted to mug and rob, would pull a 45 out her purse and blow their heads off. So they moved to other states where the potential victims were less protected. No idea if those reduced rates still hold.
@@buggsy5 I do agree with you sir.
The idea of invading the US mainland was discussed in Japan during WW2. Yamamoto famously said “impossible, there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass”
Smart man. I mean if it was Cali or NJ then that be the best bet. The other 48 states would be on their asses
@@raythomas5090 I think you’d be surprised at how many people own firearms in California, it’s really a select few counties where it’s super strict and even then there’s been some progress made in some of those areas. That’s not even counting unregistered firearms and ghost guns
@@esjd812 but what are the regulations in using them as self defense ? Is there a stand your ground or castle doctrine law? I remember living in jersey for a bit I was pissed when I found out I couldn’t bring my guns from Texas. And to use them as self defense something about “a person or self in household has to be fatality wounded first in order for you to use your firearm. Giving 5 years for each hollow tip found in your possession legal or not. I always thought all blue state laws were the same
There’s a joke up in NJ saying if someone breaks into your crib you have to tell them to sit and wait for the police to arrive 😂
@@raythomas5090 you can, as long as it’s your personal firearm you defend yourself with(although I’ll admit the list of permitted self defense firearms is mostly pistols and shotguns). California is somewhat lenient on transporting weapons from other states that might not be on the list of permitted firearms, but there are restrictions on certain enhancements and specs which I can’t remember off the top of my head rn. And yeah I hear about how much stricter it is up in the northeast lol, one of my friends in NY was considering a damn pellet gun because he couldn’t own a gun
@@matof1428 it was easier
I am from the Czech Republic and 90% of what I own would be class 3 in the US. It is a bit hard to get a full auto but if the weapon is modified/pinned/welded to only fir semi-auto you can own any assault rifle, sub-machinegun or even belt fed machine gun to a caliber of at least 50 BMG. Since many such weapons are military surplus, prices start just at just under $200 USD with most not going over $1000 USD. Yes I own several. To get a conceal carry permit it is just a question of checking one more box on the same regular gunowner permit form, then scoring a bit higher on the written exam and doing the practical exam with an handgun instead of a rifle. As for violence, the THE CZECH REPUBLIC IS ONE OF SAFEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. So for those that say that guns create violence, go get stuffed!!!!
Hi man can we have a little chat if you still get this message? Do you have instagram or something more personal for me? I wont dissapoint you

There's no question about the 2nd Amd. It means exactly what it says. The only people who question the meaning are those too dishonest to say they wish it didn't exist, and try to re- interpret it to mean it's opposite
Worst part is when they teach ur kids in school that the secound amendment is about hunting
"the rights of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed"
simple and easy to understand.
Well in fairness the right does tend to skip the first part of the amendment; “well regulated militia being necessary” and go straight to the “right to bear arms” part.
And even if someone questions this short, understandable sentence, then this person just needs to realize the reason behind the 2A. Civilians need to be able to own the same kind of guns, a military has, so they can defend their freedom, for example, against a foreign country invading.
@@littlerockdoc3183 well regulated meant well trained, organized and supplied not government regulated in those times. Also even if well regulated meant government regulations, the comma in the middle separated the militia part with the "right of the people to keep and bear arms" part. 5th grade English bro.
Stop saying “semi-automatic weapons” like that. You’re talking about sporting rifles. Almost all guns are semi-auto.
Full auto needs a permit which has infringed the 2nd amendment
I would say less than 30% of guns today are not semi auto
Nope, they're not. There are LOADS of guns that aren't semi-auto, most shotguns f.e., many hunting rifles as well.
@@NKA23 Their alot more semi weapons used for hunting
Yeah it’s pretty bad but at the same time not bad at all when you listen to people. Simon is completely ignorant that you can own a .22 LR AR-15 with a 30-100 magazine in the UK and people do!!!
Also the barrel limit is 12” and overall length is around 24”. So you can buy “rifles” in the form of a 12” barrel revolver with a 12” barrel and at least a stock of 4” or a wired little metal rod to make up the overall length.
Seriously how hard would it be to remove that rod and be in violation???
Damn, i almost shed a tear when he talked about the US. I'm so proud to live in a gun loving nation like America it's straight bad-to-the-bone

@@stevenme1258 what. Are you serious right now?
Except for Washington and California. Yikes. Flat out unconstitutional
In the state of Idaho, we want to make it a taxable offense for NOT owning a gun. If I am to defend my neighbor who doesn't believe in owning a firearm, they need to be taxed for it.
I love Idaho. I love Texas almost as much as I love Idaho. I live in one or the other, depending on weather.
Here in East Idaho its not uncommon to see someone open carrying in a restaurant or at the store. Going out to find places to shoot isnt too hard either, I really enjoy it here
Never defend anti gun people.
Just moved from Illinois to Idaho, the difference in gun culture and laws is a welcome change.

SHEEPDOG! This is why it is important to be armed and NOT be in a state where YOU will be prosecuted for defending yourself or your family. Absolutely no reason in the world that innocent people should be at the mercy of animals in human skin because "guns are bad."!!!
The Browning FN High Power is a fine gun. I got one that I had for over 40 years. Glad it worked of for you. A doctor here in CT was not so lucky, he survived barely but not his wife and two daughters.

"infringed" is not open to interpretation, it is a word with a definition. People now do not believe words have specific meanings but they do.
It is a typo - it should say "in the fridge" - meaning you should keep your guns in the fridge.
@@oyra-rp4ge I've got one in each fridge.
Finland is the safest, yet easy gun laws. Strict gun laws don't really make us safer. Sorry anti-gun nuts.
each occupation of the Czech Republic meant a ban on weapons, the European Union is now telling us a ban on weapons. now the Czechs do not want to give up their weapons because they know how it has always happened.
without children, every twentieth Czech have 2.8 weapons and we are still one of the safest countries in the world ...
Back in my uni days I ran across a sociology study done in the 70's sometime
Big sample drawn across North America...single question
"It's 3am...someone is banging on your door and yelling....why?"
In most of Canada and the NE/Midwest/NE USA the most common response was words to the effect of "a neighbor is in trouble and needs my help"
In "some" parts of the USA the most frequent response was "someone is trying to harm me"
When they juxtaposed those "pro-social" and "anti-social" responses with levels of inter-personal conflict and injury by firearm
High degree of correlation
So....Finland, Switzerland, Norway, Canada, New Hampshire.....no fire
But Alabama, Maryland....they have a social problem...and firearms are like pouring gasoline on that fire
For me....that made sense...in that "useless but profound" academic way
@Don Japan has very restrictive gun laws, has near 0 % white people and is safer then US. I think you need to work on your hypotheses.

Owning a firearm for self defense is nebulous? Hahaha. Okay.
Dan Hale he's a Brit , firearms for self defense does not exist over there !
Here in Finland owning a firearms for self defence is useless, we dont need guns for that.
Even that we have butt load's of guns and gun owners. It's nice to live country so safe that idea of carrying or having guns for self defence is absurd. It think that country where people need's gun to feel safe is dystopian and not very developt
George cos we don’t need guns to protect ourselves....
"Dan Hale he's a Brit , firearms for self defense does not exist over there !"... Well we certainly don't need to carry guns to defend against other people with guns because nobody carries a gun. If you're not a member of an inner-city gang or the criminal underworld your chances of being shot are as near to zero as makes no difference.
As Alexsi said above it's nice to live in a country where the idea that you would need to carry a gun to defend yourself is absurd. By UK standards I'm a bit of a gun nut and I think some of our gun laws are over-restrictive but the vast majority of people are in favour of strict gun laws and their views have to be respected.
"George self defense in general doesn’t exist over there. You can go to jail if you stab a home invader." That's not even close to being true. Self defence is a common law principle that hasn't really changed in centuries. As long as your response is not grossly excessive you have a valid defence. If you beat an unarmed home invader unconscious you're probably going to be fine. If you then stab them to death while they are incapacitated that's murder.
Japan's suicide rate twice US, just different methods dominate. So gun laws have little net effect on suicides. UK suicide rate 12.2 compared to US 12.7, about the same with strangulation (incorrectly referred as hanging) as dominant method. Again gun laws in also have little net effect on suicides. In 1985, accrordng to US civilian disarmament group, Handgun Control, Inc., there were 8 gun related murders in UK, at a time when hand guns and self loading (semi-auto) firearms were permitted. After several tragedies that were shamelessly exploited by corrupt politicians and distorted by a elitist media, the dream of UK's ruling class, since invention of gun powder, to disarm its subjects, was realized. The UK gun murders rose to 59 almost a 7.5 times increase. Additionally, self-defense of any kind is practically banned in UK, with victim potentially being prosecuted if he hurts the perpetrator, resulting in levels of assault higher that US and most EU countries. (Criminals in UK, like everywhere else, tend to ignore laws, that's why they call them 'criminals'.) There are more ILLEGAL guns in UK then ever in its history.
Simon, I enjoy your channel, but this post is below your standard, relying on cliches, stereotypes and cheap emotionalism. The major reality you ignore, either by intent or ignorance, is that violence in US that involves use of firearms, is restricted mostly to very limited areas, with 95% occurring in less than 5% of country. If the Pavlovian conditioning you Brits and some US neofascists display that it's only the presence of guns that causes all of US violence, then the US gun violence should be more easily spread out, and further gun restrictive places like Chicago should have less gun violence that gun friendly Indiana.
Reality, that 99.98% of US gun owners will never commit a crime. The 0.02% that do are distorted and sensationalized with only the weak minded unquestioning accepting presumption that 'if guns are outlawed, all crime will cease'. (It is wrong to blame all Muslims when a Islamic terrorist murders, we all can agree, yet blaming all the 99.98% of gun owners for the 0.02% is a PC acceptable situation by many.)
Finally, US ranks 113th amoung 215 nations in murder. If top 10 US murder cities factored out US ranks below 200. This fact is clearly avoided by those with anti-gun agendas or their mindless sycophants.
The Japanese may have strict gun laws and they also manufacture some of the highest quality production and custom firearms hands down.... Miroku company of Kochi Japan. Interestingly enough.....
@Fossil Diver because there are over 300 countries, if you count the ones the US doesn't recognize but the rest of the UN does.
Fact is, if you take the homicides from NYC, Chicago, Detroit, LA, and DC, and exclude them from the rest of the country, our homicide rate drops to the bottom 10 of all UN countries.
Also, scary fact, the US is the only member of the UN that allows self defense at the cost of the assailants life, all the others make you a criminal for taking a life in defense of your own.
So what? Spain is better than any of those.
@@dreamwolf7302
Is that TRUE (that the U.S. is the ONLY country that legally allows you to take a life in defense of your own)??
@@ep900 To the best of my knowledge, every other UN nation has a 'duty to retreat' policy, where if you dont run away, you will be charged, those charges may not run their course, but you need only look at the old man who was arrested for stabbing someone who broke into his house armed with (highly illegal) knife, in London.
I grew up in Europe and now that I live in the US it's blows my mind how restrictive the laws are over there... not even just guns, but overall. I'd love to move back home and be able to see my friends and family on daily basis and live that relaxed European lifestyle, but now that I've tasted freedom, I just can't give it up.
I find this very interesting because I have sometimes contemplated moving to the US from one of the 'happiest' countries on earth. But some americans claim the laws (and life overall) are not more free than in Europe. Can you give some more examples of less restrictive laws, other than firearms?

When you consider European History, one would think the EU people would demand gun rights... Time and time again, history shows the need and ability to protect oneself from political tyrants. I mean... Russia has recently taken over at least two countries with no resistance. It's possible the Czech's understand this... You can't protect or defend yourself/family if you don't have the proper tools. Doesn't anyone remember the past atrocities committed on people who could not defend themselves?
To answer your question. Nope.
No one thinks those atrocities will ever happen again.
Russia hasn't taken over anyone. Crimea asked to join Russia and had a public vote with international observers. 93% of the voters decided to join Russia. The USA on the other had is out of control: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Ukraine, Romania. As well as putting military bases in just about every country.

Definitely wrong information about Canada, semi automatics are easy to get, and hand guns are not banned, you just need a restricted licence for them.
With very few exceptions. Hand guns have to have a minimum barrel length of 105mm/4.1inchs, and cannot be a caliber smaller than .380 acp.
LancGuy13 wrong on the calibre part. Only .25 and .32 calibres are prohibited. .22 handguns are only restricted (the same category as most other handguns)
So you guys arent allowed to have a gun you can tuck under balls
@@LancGuy13 it's not smaller than .380. It's only banned if it's in .25 or .32 and there are certain exceptions.
Not to mention that pretty much all modern weapons are semi automatic except maybe for Single action revolver and bolt action rifles.

At france, please correct me if needed, ak47:s are illegal. You can't have those. At finland, any gun is legal and you can import via company or yourself any gun.
At estonia you can have gun for self protection but there are regulations for ammo count, like at france and denmark too? Anyhow, estonia is carry country and was not listed. Wtf?
Anyway: the whole gun thing is not as simple as this video shows. But for a guy who doesn't know s..t about what he talks...
Across the counter guns like the AR-15 and AK-47's are not defined as assault weapons because they don't have a full automatic fire option. This makes them no different mechanically than the civilian sporting semi-auto's. Anyone who challenges this statement should remember that anything meant to purposely inflict harm or death to a human being can be classified as an assault weapon, be it a knife, hammer, baseball bat...etc.
I think he refers to that you are allowed to take a hunter test, which allows you to hunt and take care of a gun(not buy)

Your remarks on how hard it is to own a semi-automatic firearm in Canada are inaccurate. I have lawfully owned non-restricted semi-automatic firearms for years here in Canada. That is the easiest firearms classification for the most basic level of lawful ownership in Canada.
Our firearms classification system is very arbitrary, follows no logic & only focuses on the public’s perception of said firearm(s). If a firearm “looks” extra dangerous it is restricted but firearms that do not look as dangerous but actually are more dangerous are non-restricted. Case in point: both my Ruger Mini-14 & M1A are non-restricted but have both been used by shooters in 2 of our most infamous mass shootings; but my AR-15 Carbine is restricted because it looks like a modern military Assault Rifle (even though it is not) so it is restricted despite the fact the M1A is far more dangerous & has actually been used to gun down RCMP officers in Moncton NB while there has never been a single mass schooling involving a AR-15 (or any of its variants) in Canadian history. See, no logic, arbitrary & solely based on the public’s ignorant perception. BTW the Ruger Mini-14 was used in our most deadly mass shooting ever, again it’s non-restricted but the restricted AR-15 is no more dangerous than a Mini-14 despite never been used in a mass shooting here.

Also, the US has a severe gang problem. Their beefs drive the gun violence rate way up... No disrespect to the folks who have to live that life though. We all gotta do what we gotta do.
I thought I would add a little flourish to some of your observations.
1. Finland has not only always had a strong gun culture but during the Russian invasion of Finland it was those famous marksmanship skills that made the Russians pay dearly for stealing half of the country and about the only thing that kept them from getting the entire place. Those same skills were later needed to kick the nazis out. Finland, the Czech republic and Sweden all have tight defense budgets and Russia as a neighbor and/or former occupier (and don't think that doesn't play into their strategic defense plans...as well as Russian wargaming).
2. America was carved out of the wilderness by people with axes, plows, saws and guns. They had to fight to break free of the England and then fight some more to stay that way. It was so much a part of the early years of the USA that gun ownership was enshrined as the 2nd of 10 amendments to the constitution. Then they had to fight to resolve some very nasty internal struggles (the civil war). Then there was the westward expansion. In fact the single most iconic image of America outside of the eagle is the cowboy.
3. The Switzerland-Honduras meme does help illustrate one point, it is not so much the laws on guns as it is the culture, the people that are responsible for crime rates. Poverty and education are huge factors but the culture is the main driver.
Examples: Jamaica has (or had) a very high murder and gun violence rate despite being an island nation with ultra strict gun laws. Nevis and St. Kitts are even tighter yet have an even higher murder rate. Japan has almost none.
It looks like Americans are about to have to fight to keep their guns. Our government is getting out of control, we have a president that says if you don’t vote for him you’re a domestic terrorist.

Speaking from the prospective of an American 2nd amendment advocate, I would like to praise the way you presented these facts in a neutral informative way, I really enjoy these videos for this reason.
“Invasion of the U.S. would be impossible, for there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass”
Yes sirrrrr
A lot of other armies have more rifles in terms of population than the United States, and in case of war they distribute it, they usually have more rifles than the population but you need the majority of the population during the war for everything else to survive. Smaller countries put more on guerrilla warfare. At the time of the virus, it became clear how responsive and disciplined each country was at the population level. When the enemy controls your territory in wars for complete dominance, he wants to take away all your will to the point of resistance. The population must know how to grow food and keep it without electric refrigerators during the year, even in a city where it is possible and then a shortage of fertilizers, sprays and oil, which contribute greatly to successful farming. There is no heating in winter, no clean water or medicine. You have to decide whether you will take care of the children so that they do not starve and die from scarcity or whether you will invest all the effort and time needed in resistance. To name a few, not everything depends on weapons, because if everyone took on the task of resistance, they would worsen their positions in a few days, that would be a huge mistake. It is true, however, that an opponent for territory control should be more cautious and more numerous if there is more potential danger to him. However, they usually solve this by being very violent with the residents where the shooting took place, thus keeping them in fear even by stealing essential necessities for survival and imprisoning those who are able to take care of families, officially due to suspicions. Many times, even residents would blame their soldiers if they stood up and shot because they would only cause more damage to civilians.I want to say how complicated it is, far from all black and white.
That is the sugarcoated version. In reality, US citizens have little knowledge of how to defend themselves against a professional attack, so it is definetely not impossible.
@@oyra-rp4ge there at least 1 million retired army personal who have been in combat over the last twenty years, there are also thousands of civilians who train at professional fire arms schools, who are taught by some of those retired soldiers.

As an American who knows my country's gun laws and loves to learn about the laws in other countries, I can assure you that this field of study is murky and full of half truths and misinformation. In the USA itself there are so many misinformed people it's scary. Now try to find out the facts in another country! I've heard everything from UK requiring guns be kept at the gun club to an absolute requirement for Swiss men to own guns to French people being required to fire a warning shot before shooting an attacker.... it's hard to know what to believe coming from foreign countries, ESPECIALLY if you're not prepared to spend years researching the topic.
Lets make a list of the countries which have not been successfully invaded in the last one hundred fifty years (hint the USA will not be on it.) Europeans may not approve of the American habit of being armed but they should remember that twice in the last century it was Americans and their guns that saved them from being forcibly amalgamated into the German Empire
Exactly!
1. Great Britain, Iceland, Russia and Switzerland haven’t been successfully invaded.
2. If your referring to WW2 then the Soviet Union actually did more to beat the Nazis did America did.
Da Revolutionary The Soviet Union under the banner of Communism, you mean? Communism, after all, has killed far more than Nazism. Regardless, without the aid of America, Europe would of fallen to the Nazi's. Lest we forget the two ideologies were allies at the start. At any rate, maybe the Nazi's should of won? Hopefully Russia invades Western Europe again. America will be sitting this one out. But, from what Iheard, Western Europe likes bending over for invaders and will likely praise it as multiculturalism.
Gentlemen Of Fortune 😂😂😂😂😂 so I guess the Battle of Stalingrad, Battle or Kursk and Vienna Offensive means nothing to you. The Soviet Union is the one that pushed the Nazis back to Berlin. So please explain how the Nazis would have won in a scenario where the United States didn’t enter the war? Nazis would have lost regardless of the United States entering the war or not, most historians even know this.
Da Revolutionary And then Communism did way worse than Nazism, killing by the millions.
What caliber will your next stimulus check come in?
The 2nd Amendment is not controversial, it’s clear and straightforward; “Shall Not be Infringed.”
The video just proves that gun ownership doesn't cause mass shootings and gun crime! America needs to get better health care and enforce their own laws when it comes to illegally owned guns and maybe they wouldn't see as much gun crime.

Very informative. Thanks 😊
I have literally never seen any restaurant that would allow you to bring a rifle even muzzle load in, though to be fair on the point there are several that i know even offer discounts to customers that show their carry permit. These places implement that type of policy usually after getting robbed several times and it makes them a much safer place to patronize as a result. I just think the rifle statement itself may be a little bit of an overstatement is all. I really think it would be nice at some point for the gun issue to become a non issue, but especially in the US until crime and illegal guns and other such issues can be taken care of first it seems that in some places it really is best to have access to a firearm. It is only in certain areas that seems to be the case, but i fully support legal gun ownership for not only hunting and personal protection, but also the reason it was put into the constitution in the first place. Tyranny and oppression still exist also.
Also i feel that there is a massive mental health issue in my country that needs addressed.
my namejeff
There are many articles about antidepressants and mass murders... In fact, it's on the side of the bottles these antidepressants can turn into something very dangerous.
Niki Ballou i totally agree. There are just so many more issues that need dealt with outside of people just attacking the gun issue.
There was, but the government solution was to assign the mentally ill to poorly equipped half-way houses with inept personnel instead of fixing the serious problems mental health care facilities opted to utilize for persons suffering from mental illnesses.
rayford21 yes what was done in the past is definitely not the way to handle things going forward. Something needs to be done though i dont know what it should be exactly. One thing is for sure though, blaming the tools is not going to fix the problem. We have to address the people weilding them. Even if guns disappeared tomorrow nothing would be fixed because the ones with the issues and the criminals would just use a different tool.

Serious
Really smart guy & clear information. 👍👍
When I think of "ease of owning firearms," as an American, I think of the fewest firearm regulations. Most of these countries really don't meet that criteria.
Also, as an American, I'm a big paranoid about any sort of registry or database. That's to the point where I'm not likely to get a license to carry. I'm even weary of buying a firearm from a store, since that means going through a background check and likely having my name in a government database.
See, the Second Amendment was purposed as a last resort against tyrannical government. Hence, it makes zero sense that the government has any regulations on keeping and bearing firearms. As far as I'm concerned, every single piece of firearm legislation is inherently unconstitutional.
If I buy a firearm, I'm buying from a friend in a private transaction, with cash. As a law-abiding citizen, I'm not all that worried about criminals. I'm far more concerned about the increasing government overreach. If they can infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms despite this being blatantly against the Second Amendment, I have zero confidence that they won't do the same with any other rights.
The massive size of the federal government and the increasing intrusion into the lives of the people continue to make me more suspicious of their intentions.
If their intention was to reduce homicide rates, they'd focus on the reasons people choose to commit such crimes. Instead, they focus on the right of law-abiding citizens. That screams "tyrannical government" to millions of firearm owners. Firearms do nothing in and of themselves. They are pieces of metal and plastic. The focus needs to be on the individual who uses said firearm.
Honestly at this point each State should be counted a completely different country. Such a wide insane spectrum of laws here in the USA.
This is a suprisingly unbiased video.
Many moons ago we were in the mountains of Colorado and stopped into a hotel for lunch. The waitress came over and asked us if we want her to hang up our guns to make us more comfortable. We did and they hung on the wall with a dozen others. We had a nice lunch, grabbed our stuff and left.
Your definition of "semi-automatic weapon" is wrong. Most modern weapons are semi-automatic.
Correction on Canada. We have licenses and a handgun registration. However semiauto is fine i own 5 of those.
Wow buddy, Canadian here... loving our semi autos and hand guns. Can’t trust this video.
Interesting video, thanks!
So... In the Czech republic they have the constitutionally recognized right to kill terrorists and have little to no terrorism despite their geographical proximity to many terrorist states as compared to England where they have no real rights to own firearms or even self defense and are attacked by Islamic terrorists almost weekly...
This is not connected to gunlaws itself. We have a right to defend ourselves when we are endangered, this means harming or even killing the attcaker. Your defense however HAVE to be adequate to the threat. If you harm/kill in a self defense you will still be dragged around courts, but if the self defense was adequate they will set you free.
